Unlike the yearly religious prophecies based on speculation, superstition, and 12 calendar month pressure, here is what you should expect in the next 5 years globally. If you are looking to innovate, make a difference, or build a business, this does not only tell you what will happen but also where you should put your attention. What you are about to read is based on our collective history, scientific evidence, and spiritual insight. 

In the vast canvas of the night sky, there's a slow dance that the Earth performs, shifting its axis over millennia in what astronomers call the precession of the equinoxes. Imagine this: the Earth's axis wobbles like a spinning top, completing one full cycle every 25,772 years. This movement changes which constellation the sun rises in at the vernal equinox, marking the start of spring. We're currently moving from the Age of Pisces, an era symbolized by faith, sacrifice, and spiritual exploration, into the Age of Aquarius, heralding themes of innovation, freedom, and humanity.

This transition, which I've observed both as an educator and a dreamer, resonates deeply with the changes we're witnessing in Africa and globally. The Age of Pisces has been about looking inward, into the mysteries of the soul, while Aquarius invites us to look outward, to connect, innovate, and elevate collective consciousness.

At Trans4me Africa, we've embraced this shift by creating a digital apprenticeship ecosystem that not only closes educational gaps but also elevates the consciousness of our youth. We're empowering Africans to become not just job seekers but job creators, aligning with the Aquarian ideals of self-reliance, innovation, and community.

Looking Ahead: 2025 - 2030

As we step further into this new age, here's what I predict we might see:

1. Technological Leaps: Artificial Intelligence will become more ingrained in our daily lives, much like how Trans4me Africa uses AI to personalize learning paths for our apprentices. 

2. Quantum computing might solve problems we currently deem unsolvable, and space exploration could see significant human milestones.

3. Sustainability and Green Tech: There will be a surge in green technologies. We at Trans4me Africa have begun this journey by teaching sustainable skills, preparing our youth for a world that values environmental consciousness.

4. Cultural and Social Evolution: The push for equality, inclusion, and social justice will intensify. We're already seeing this in our programs, focusing on inclusivity, ensuring that no one is left behind in Africa's digital and educational revolution.

5. Education Transformation: Education will evolve beyond traditional classrooms. Trans4me Africa is at the forefront, offering learning that adapts to the individual, preparing them for a future where adaptability is key.

6. Health and Wellness: Personalized medicine will become more accessible, and mental health will gain the attention it deserves. Our platform includes modules on well-being, and understanding the holistic development of our apprentices.

7. Economic and Political Shifts: New economic models might emerge, potentially including universal basic income or circular economies. Trans4me Africa aims to be a catalyst in this space by fostering entrepreneurship that aligns with these new paradigms.

8. Global Connectivity and Governance: We'll see a move towards more global cooperation, perhaps in response to shared challenges like climate change. Trans4me Africa is building a network that transcends borders, fostering a community of innovators and leaders.

9. A New Consciousness: There will be a shift towards understanding our interconnectedness, both with each other and with nature. This is central to our ethos at Trans4me Africa, where we believe in elevating consciousness through education.

As we navigate these changes, my prediction is not just about technology or policy but about the human spirit's capacity to evolve. Trans4me Africa stands as both a participant and a beacon in this era of enlightenment, where education, innovation, and community can transform lives and redefine our world. Let's embrace this Aquarian dawn together, with hope, action, and an unwavering commitment to progress.

Poverty Is Not Senselessness: A Call for Caution Amidst the Struggle for Daily Bread

Recent events in Nigeria have underscored the harsh realities of poverty, with the tragic stampede during a food distribution program serving as a poignant reminder of the desperation faced by millions. While survival is a daily battle for many, it is vital to approach this struggle with caution and responsibility. Poverty, though challenging, is not synonymous with senselessness.

Millions of Nigerians live below the poverty line, trapped in a cycle of deprivation driven by inflation, unemployment, and systemic inequalities. Access to basic needs like food and clean water remains a constant challenge. Charitable food distributions offer hope, but the chaos often accompanying these events highlights the need for better organization and systemic interventions. Stampedes and similar tragedies are preventable with proper planning, emphasizing the importance of systemic changes to address root causes while ensuring immediate relief efforts are safe and effective.

The pursuit of daily bread must balance caution and order. Organizers of relief programs should collaborate with local authorities, implement crowd control measures, and communicate clearly. Beneficiaries must also adhere to guidelines, avoid overcrowding, and support localized interventions that reduce risks. Addressing immediate hunger is crucial, but eradicating poverty requires sustained efforts. Governments, private organizations, and civil society must work together to create sustainable jobs, improve social welfare, and strengthen community networks. Awareness campaigns about safety during public events can also prevent future tragedies.

"Poverty is a societal challenge demanding empathy and structured solutions. The recent stampede is a wake-up call to address immediate needs with care and pursue systemic reforms. By prioritizing life, dignity, and community, we can foster a culture of caution and compassion, proving that even amidst poverty, humanity can prevail.”

The Role of Technological Advancement in National Development

 Technological advancement has always been a key indicator of progress in any society, whether in ancient or modern times. Every nation or civilization that has made a significant impact on human history has done so by surpassing its peers in technological innovation. This advancement has often been the driving force behind the achievements and legacy of these societies. From ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome, to the more recent British Empire, technology has consistently been at the core of societal development.

Technology influences every aspect of life, from medicine and construction to communication, transportation, and agriculture. Its diverse applications underscore its importance in shaping and sustaining civilizations. Technological progress is not confined to one place; it can be developed anywhere human intelligence exists. It can also be imported and exported, making its benefits universal. This universality has ensured that technology remains a constant force throughout history, driving progress and innovation across the globe.

Given this, it is crucial for Nigeria and Africa at large to prioritize the development of their own technologies. A society that fails to innovate and create its own technological solutions will always be dependent on others, putting it at a disadvantage. Innovation, the seed of technological development, can come from any individual or group within a society. It is therefore the responsibility of the leadership to identify, nurture, and harness these talents to build a sustainable technological base.

The Nigerian government, through the Ministry of Science and Technology, should establish a dedicated body focused on fostering innovation and supporting new inventions. This body should actively seek out technological ideas from both the formal and informal sectors, ensuring they are developed, protected, and utilized within the country. It should also focus on areas where local artisans and inventors, through years of experience, have created new and useful technologies. This will not only preserve indigenous knowledge but also contribute to the nation's technological independence.

While importing technology can offer quick solutions and enhancements, authentic and sustainable development requires a nation to create and refine its own technologies. These technologies should be in harmony with the cultural, social, and political landscape of the country, ensuring they meet the specific needs of the society. For example, Nigeria should lead in developing food processing technologies, such as machines for pounding yams or cassava, which are staple foods in the region. Schools and research institutions across the country should be at the forefront of developing such technologies, ensuring they are not only authentic but also sustainable and independent.

Unfortunately, despite the potential for local technological development, over 95% of the modern technology used in Nigeria is imported. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of our educational institutions, research centers, and government agencies, particularly the Ministry of Science and Technology. Billions of naira are allocated to these institutions, yet there is little to show in terms of locally developed technologies. This failure can be attributed to unpatriotic behavior and a lack of accountability among those managing these public institutions, as well as a preference among political leaders and elites for imported technologies.

A glaring example of this is the recent purchase of 500 Toyota SUVs for lawmakers and government officials. This decision, aside from being criticized as a wasteful expenditure, also had a negative impact on the local economy. Had these funds been used to purchase locally made vehicles, such as those from Innoson or Pan Nigeria, it would have significantly boosted the Nigerian economy. This lack of support for local industries is a major barrier to technological development in the country.

In conclusion, the development and sustainability of a nation's technology are critical to its progress. Nigeria must focus on nurturing local innovation and reducing its dependency on foreign technologies. This will not only strengthen the economy but also ensure that the country can meet its own needs and contribute meaningfully to global technological advancements.
