Africa needs to fix continent, richest people are politicians
Huh!!! I like the content of the thread but the title is something else. If I may restructure it, it will be like this, "Africans need to fix the Continent, the Richest People are the Politicians". Africa being a Continent can not fix itself but the people (Africans) can fix the Continent.
Prior to the OP's content, I agree with him to some extent. Mostly in Nigeria where I come from, politics is the only means of getting wealth so everyone is going or joining politics to take their share of the National wealth by abandoning the national resources to be decay. The worst them of all is, the Politicians when they promised heaven and Earth to the poor Masses and the electorates vote them to power and would forget their promises and the people as we. African politicians are devil incanates. There are lot of Natural resources to the Continent but excluding crude oil. There is Palm Fruit, Sugar cane, Sand, Rubber, Ground nut, Fish, Timber (Trees), palm wine, fresh water etc yet, no politician is thinking of utilizing these abundance resources to create employment and developed the Continent but all of them are making the primitive accumulation from the crude oil.
As for me the solution is in hand of the electorates. Vote out all these bad politicians and replace them with genuine minded people.
