I like Nkrumah's optimism, but being Cameroonian and watching what is currently going on in my country ( i.e how the leadership is encouraging a political and social discourse favoring ethnic and tribal divisions, to the point where some radio talking head called for the genocide of my people), I feel compelled to ask: what is the African nation?
My biggest problem with panafricanism is the fact that it ignores the reality that within Africa itself, Africans don't exist: they are Berbers, Fulani, Yoruba, Eton, Zulu, Tutsi, etc... How are you gonna talk about uniting all Black folks worldwide, when on the motherland, the people within actively call for one another's extinction?
