The Africa we know is rich, very rich in mineral and human resources. The environment is suitable for human development. The culture is rich as well. They had great history and inventions. They also had rules, regulations and principles guiding their way of life.
The Africa we know should be on geninue equality with other lands. But unfortunately, there are loads of barriers and problems blocking our way to success. Civilisation and even development is not entitled to some set of perople alone, rather, itÂ’s a human phenomenon, Hunger, strife, lack of [atroitism, illiteracy are not meant to be a part of some people, but should be fought and casted out of the peopleÂ’s life.
Yes, we understand that the Africa we know is dying of impending dangers, but the African youths are capable of restructuring Africa. The African youths can do this, they will do this. They shall empower and educate Africans. They shall boost the AfricansÂ’ morale, and reach for great heights
The major problems in Africa are: Cultural Imitation, Illiteracy, Bad Leadership And Followership, Lack of Patriotism and Self Confidence, HIV/Aids, Suspicion And Ethnic Wars, ICT Illiteracy. In spite of these problems, Africa still remain a distinguished land of rich human and mineral resources. This has given us a beacon of hope for we know that the ‘human resources therein’, will make a change. Not an ordinary change, but an hurricane of change known as revolution.

To achieve that, we need a body. A body that comprises of dedicated minds and souls. And that is GAA!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GAA, meaning Great African Achievers, is a Non Governmental Organisation, based in Nigeria. GAA is an African oriented organisation.
GAAs believe in the potency of the African Youths. In GAA, we also believe that Africans are most capable of solving the African problems. We analyse our problems in a practical approach and we bring in suggestions for solution.
GAA is youth-led and African Oriented

Since the sole aim of the GAA is to solve the problems in Africa, there is a need for an intensive method of solving the problems. As a result of this idea, we have segregated the aforementioned problems into different classes. Each class shall have a leader and a council of elders Each council shall lead a class and inspire members of that class. Members of GAA are entitled to participate in the activities of more than one class. Members can also volunteer to be an executive member also known as the council.
These classes are:
* Cultural imitation in Africa
* Bad leadership and followership
* Lack of patriotism and self-confidence
* HIV/AIDS
* Suspicion and Ethnic wars
* ICT illiteracy
This are the six main classes at present. GAA plans to solve most of theses problems by morale boosting. With this method, we shall promote or introduce Great African Achievers concerning a particular class. We believe in orientating Africans towards greatness. Apart from this method, Members of GAA shall contribute immensely to the development of strategies and Africa.
