Pursuing The Power of the African Dream.

I have a simple question. America has the American dream, where citizens basically aspire to reach middle class status, and be financially well off. Its what has made the United States to become such a magnet for people all around in the world. In 2013, China launched the Chinese dream, in which the Chinese were urged to aspire for a higher status. Likewise, too, can Africans have something akin to the 'African dream'. I know Africa is not a country, and there are wide disparities within and without countries. So, each African country could have its own versions of the African dream. However, there are common themes such as human rights, access to basic and affordable healthcare and education, provision of clean, decent, and rewarding jobs, as well as being materially wealthy. In your own opinion, what can an 'African dream' consist of?
