LAMENTATIONS OF THIS AFRICAN!
Ok…what Iam explaining is that curruption exist everywhere! Europe , China, USA , Japan etc..
Obviously their curruption does not stop their socio-economic development !
On the other hand we all see that curruption in very most of Africa is a direct blockage to development! Most of National revenues are stolen by the very Africans at a bewildering scale …and are not used for plans and projects that would change and develop Africa!
Why!!??
We cannot and should not run away from confronting the reasons for this evil!!
Why would a people or a race…sabotage itself time after time for generations!!?? Why!??
Quick observation shows that the percentage of persons willing to and or executing corrupt acts in most of Africa is extremely high! While a lot of curruption exists in all developed nations, however its simply clear that the number of person carrying out currupt practices does not block national development!!
So here comes the question no one wants me to ask…..
Why would any population knowing the collective harm curruption inflicts on all continue with it one generation after the other!??
My answer… is Indiscipline! A lack of control of the want for selfish pleasure! All added to the absence of any sincere heart and sence for community and its progress! And the self centered craving to be seen to be richer than your neighbor!
Wow!! The Black Man!
AFCFTA! AFCFTA! “Fake euphoria! Yet you steal the money you are supposed to use to industrialize! Every sincere intelligent economist will tell you that If AFCFTA is going work then every African country should be intensively industrializing now!! Setting up comparitive advantages! Which will lead to, induce, foster AFCFTA to success! But! Is Africa industrializing!!? Or is it stealing from itself ?
Wow! Black Man! In the last 800 years there has not been any African socio-economic plan designed and implemented by Africans that has brought development to Africans! Wow 800 years! 800 years pre dates slavery and colonialism!
Self centered? Individuals serving themselves with no care for his people now and generations to come!?
A recurring theme in Africa’s history !
Listen! While other races and peoples have caused African very much harm and death! The most harm has been caused by Africa on herself!!
Yes Africa had too many small tribes feuding among each other to weak to fend off foriegn enemy empires.
BUT!…..Africa has had Empires too!
Weve had our chances! We will have more! BUT we must believe in what is African as the best! and the only good!
We must act selflessly knowing that until Africa has succeeded No African has succeeded!
I’ll stop for now with this History. Arguably the richest man/emperor that ever lived
Emperor Mansa “Kanka” Musa of the Ancient Mali empire. So rich he in my opinion could have bought technology know how for cutting edge advanced weapons, he could have bought and retained the best scholars, and scientists! With his wealth he could have created the then world power empire encompassing the whole of West Africa and parts of North and central Africa! This would have prevented slavery and colonialism! History would be different today!
This did not happen! Instead what we know is that he gave out so much gold during his pilgrimage that the price/value of gold fell in the eastern part of Civilization then!
Wow! Black Man!
My Lamentations!
