Y! Africa Magazine
has announced its latest issue, covered by Ashish
J. Thakkar, who has been called Africa’s youngest billionaire, and
who is founder of Mara Group and the
Mara Foundation. From escaping
genocide and Hotel Rwanda, to conducting transatlantic business at the ripe old
age of 15, Ashish J. Thakkar is a
poster boy for the evolving possibilities of the continent, the editors say.
“Africa is a beautiful picture in contrasts,” said Chude Jideonwo, who is editor-in-chief.
“On the one hand… much more than half of the employable young population is out
of job and there are many caught in wars and rumors of ears, from Sudan’s two
sides to the Central African Republic. But on the other… there’s growth and
palpable excitement as the continent to watch; investment pouring in for
technology and a whole range of businesses new and traditional, impressive GDPs
across countries; democracy solidifying and with it free speech, citizen
engagement, the flourishing enterprise and a groundswell of creativity.
This edition presents
that sense of newness and hope.” The cover was photographed by Ade Asiko in London, styled by Segun Garuba, and written by Wilfred Okiche. The issue also features
the #YCeleb100 – profiling 100 of Africa’s most powerful celebrities under 40,
and the #YTech100, which lists the 100 Most Innovative People & Ideas in
Nigeria’s Tech Space.
