BOAF – SHAPING THE AFRICA I WANT – A CONVERSATION WITH HOWARD MAPIKI

The present was preceded by yesterday and today will be remembered through the sharing of experienced that unfold seamlessly and sometimes effortlessly.

The cimversation below was unplanned and unscrippted to give an indication of the power of story telling in shaping and defining the personality and character of a future that is impossible to shape by refusing to share ideas and actions.

At the end of the chat, Howard asserted his wish to be part of the BOAF circle of SHAPERS.

Helpers are welcome too. What is a helper? If you are interested in knowing, share this article to friends and comment below giving your opinion on the need and urgency of C2C – converting connections2community power.

Today is your choice but tomorrow is a consequence of GRACE and is not yours.

[4/6, 4:15 PM] mdmawere1: Fine and you

[4/6, 4:17 PM] Howard T Mapiki: Hi. I’m Howard
[4/6, 4:17 PM] Howard T Mapiki: I’m the host of our TV show titled IN SEARCH OF A FUTURE I WANT
[4/6, 4:17 PM] mdmawere1: My name is Mutumwa Mawere
[4/6, 4:19 PM] mdmawere1: On what platform?
[4/6, 4:20 PM] Howard T Mapiki: My Good Sir. How are you. It’s an honour to be in touch with you.
[4/6, 4:22 PM] mdmawere1: Fine and you
[4/6, 4:23 PM] Howard T Mapiki: I’m doing good Sir
[4/6, 4:24 PM] Howard T Mapiki: IN SEARCH OF A FUTURE I WANT is a TV show targeting business that still has a potential to grow and expand wings. We would like to interview you about how you’re running your business, the strings of success that you managed to pull out even in the midst of a bad storm, your future goals and inspirations. We will then offer a chance to some of our business expect to ask you some questions related to business.

This is what I can say about concerning the show. What we would like at the moment is to know more about your business and then we put you on our schedule and let you know when we can come to you and shoot. We will like to interview you at a place where you are operating from to make things more real.
I believe that the TV show will offer you a big marketing chance. It will open another world to your business since it can be able to reach out to some people and places that will take you long enough to get reach out to.
[4/6, 4:25 PM] mdmawere1: Have you heard of the BANKING ON AFRICA’S FUTURE (BOAF) – THE 10,000 POINTS OF LIGHT TOWARDS SHAPING THE PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER OF THE AFRICA I WANT – ONE LIGHT AT A TIME?
[4/6, 4:28 PM] Howard T Mapiki: Tell me more. This is really inspiring.
[4/6, 4:29 PM] Howard T Mapiki: First time hearing about it but I can tell, I also want to be part of it.
[4/6, 4:32 PM] mdmawere1: What ideas come to your mind in the theme?
[4/6, 4:38 PM] Howard T Mapiki: How can we make Africa a more better and attractive society. Building wealth is the highest goal and you have to do it together as group. I think everything is centralised in making an African men well settled financial. It’s an eye opener on how we can better ourselves pushed through certain ideas
[4/6, 4:39 PM] mdmawere1: Do you agree that Africa does not exist but God’s creatures do?
[4/6, 4:39 PM] Howard T Mapiki: Iron sharpens iron. One men sharpens another. One African men can change another Africa men’s fortunes.
[4/6, 4:40 PM] mdmawere1: Have you ever heard of the saying THE OPPOSITE OF POVERTY IS NOT WEALTH?
[4/6, 4:42 PM] Howard T Mapiki: I believe that we are all on a global village. We are one. Africa is more like a type of identity but it doesn’t mean anything. Being called an African doesn’t stop you from succeding in life. We are all here as God’s creatures that’s why I’m saying that it must be a global village.
[4/6, 4:43 PM] Howard T Mapiki: Yeah in some books but couldn’t understand the real meaning of the proverb. This calls for more wisdom.
[4/6, 4:44 PM] mdmawere1: Great. Do you have a monetized youtube channel?
[4/6, 4:45 PM] Howard T Mapiki: Not yet Sir. I have a YouTube channel but it’s not monetized at the moment
[4/6, 4:48 PM] Howard T Mapiki: I can ask around.
[4/6, 4:49 PM] Howard T Mapiki: What’s your vision on this Sir if I can ask. Is there any chance of merging my program with yours
[4/6, 4:50 PM] mdmawere1: If you had a LinkedIn community of:

1. 30,000 network
2. 34,450 followers

What would you do first?
[4/6, 4:53 PM] Howard T Mapiki: It depends on my set goals. On my side as a filmmaker and a writer, I would use the platform to enrich to more lives and bring a change to them
[4/6, 4:54 PM] Howard T Mapiki: I feel more inspired with this that’s why I’m more attracted to know more about it with a hope that we can put our ideas together and produce something great
[4/6, 4:58 PM] mdmawere1: Network
[4/6, 4:59 PM] Howard T Mapiki: I’m sorry for the call Sir, my WhatsApp is not connecting

[4/6, 5:00 PM] mdmawere1: We have an initiative called C2C or converting CONNECTIONS2COMMUNITY POWER
[4/6, 5:02 PM] mdmawere1: MY 1ST STEP WOULD BE CONVERTING THIS CONNECTION TO A COMMUNITY WHO SHARE THE IDEA OF PROBLEM SOLVING AS A COMMUNITY.
[4/6, 5:03 PM] mdmawere1: BEFORE SOLVING A PROBLEM, A SHARED ITS SHARED UNDERSTANDING MUST PRECEDE ANY SOLUTION.
[4/6, 5:04 PM] Howard T Mapiki: That’s real entreprenuerhip. I’m open to be part of this connection
[4/6, 5:05 PM] mdmawere1: Do you agree that humanity is no divisible into ENTREPRENEUR & OTHER?
[4/6, 5:06 PM] Howard T Mapiki: Yes I do agree
[4/6, 5:07 PM] mdmawere1: Do you agree that if 2 or more gather in Jesus’ name, he will always be in the mix?
[4/6, 5:08 PM] Howard T Mapiki: 100%. I agree
[4/6, 5:14 PM] mdmawere1: If so, do you agree that the relationship between flies and meat is instructive as meat does not invite flies or Jesus suffers the burden to invite followers?
[4/6, 5:18 PM] Howard T Mapiki: Flies are forced to draw their attention to the meat. It’s all natural. Jesus suffers the burden to free us all. Once we are free, it automatically means that we are now his followers. I agree on this.
[4/6, 5:19 PM] mdmawere1: Can we do an teaser?
[4/6, 5:20 PM] mdmawere1: You know how best to convert text into video format?

[4/6, 5:33 PM] mdmawere1: Ok let me check

[4/6, 5:34 PM] Howard T Mapiki: Yes
[4/6, 5:34 PM] mdmawere1: Did anyone tell you what to wear today?
[4/6, 5:34 PM] Howard T Mapiki: No, I decided on my own what to wear
[4/6, 5:34 PM] mdmawere1: Who was born to be a journalist?
[4/6, 5:35 PM] Howard T Mapiki: I understand now. I’m ready to take the challenge
[4/6, 5:36 PM] mdmawere1: You should always be a soldier ready to fight to win without limiting yourself.
[4/6, 5:37 PM] mdmawere1: The AFRICA I WANT is one in which humanity is indivisible.

One second of unlived life is one second to all it depends on how you choose to live it.
[4/6, 5:39 PM] Howard T Mapiki: Im always ready to serve a purpose Sir
