If we should go into details Africa happen to be one of the richest Continent on this planet earth, but because of bad governance, has made it look like the poorest continent, they have enough mineral resources that can make it look more better and beautiful than any other continent, but the greed among their leaders is something that can't let it get better, it's still off recently that the people are still waking up to reality, by going out there to aquire knowledge and see things that will be profitable to them and putting it to work, but I'm still trusting on the process as I believe it will get more better.
We all know that having natural resources alone doesn’t guarantee prosperity. That’s why a country may be heavily endowed by these resources but still remain in poverty, and that’s because how prosperous they will become depends heavily on how they’re able to turn those resources into productive industries, infrastructures, job opportunities and different kinds of development for its people.
You are absolutely correct but Africans are facing serious challenges when it comes to making use of the opportunity that they have, western countries are really our enemy, just because they know that we have all this resources and once we are allowed to see the advantage of it, we will become stronge and that is why we are seriously facing the issue of development.
Anytime I think about this resources, I feel so bad because the westerners are seriously contributing to our downfall, if really they want to show that they cares, I think the best thing they should do is to allow us to use our own resources by ourselves, everything should be built here in Africa, but they decided to take to their own country and ship the finished product to us selling it in a very huge amount. I believe that one day Africa will stand up and rise.
