We are eagles; stop eating chicken- Lumumba to African youth

Prof. Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba has urged young Africans to overcome feelings of inferiority. He spoke at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) during a public lecture series.

Lumumba emphasized the need to reclaim Africa's greatness. "Our very presence here reminds us to reclaim our past," he said.

He referenced South African leader Pixley Kaisaka Seme. Seme called on Africans to regenerate their continent.

"We have a duty as Africans to regenerate ourselves," Lumumba noted. "You only regenerate what has been generated."

He also mentioned Ghanaian educationist James Emmens Peragree, known as Aggrey of Africa. Aggrey encouraged Africans to recognize their worth beyond colonization.

"Although colonization fed us chicken feed for too long, we are eagles and can fly," Lumumba stated.

He urged African youth to stop limiting themselves. They should take charge of Africa’s future with pride and purpose.
