Popis:	This study explores the thoughts of the youth about foreign powers’ governance. The concept of African Governance Architecture underpins the study. A review of archival material and other relevant publications and policy documents shows that youth have condemned Western prescriptions for the improvement of their economies and general governance systems, describing them as an attempt at re-colonization and an infringement on their sovereignty. Some have also rubbished foreign advice as ‘alien’ and irrelevant to their needs and problems. In view of the serious levels of suspicion, there is need for stakeholders to appropriately socialize and educate each other on the ideals of governance. The study also established that youth in Africa have been pounded with an ideology and doctrine that may require a lot of investment to undo.
