Our Life In Africa

Africa, as it has been made known for so long, is a continent of wars and famines and disasters and many other  things that's has been added as a credential to it and for so long nothing has been done to change that state. Neither by the authority nor by the amazing African citizen.

We should now look at the problems that faces us and properly diagnose them in other to solve them once and for all. 
First, we elect presidents that only care about gathering as much money as they can before the next election comes, instead of generating wealth to accomplish the program we voted them for. Our countries continue to  suffer because of the ambiguity of the political parties that lead us, most of them are bribed and are no longer threat to the party in power and those that are being resistant, are being intimidated and sometimes receive death threat to their doors, phone and many more.
We clearly have some example right now. We all saw how the government of Rwanda has intimidated his political adversaries and how some were being detained and killed. This spirit that our leader have do not, in any case, help Africa. Because we need constant change and different ideology to proper build a developed continent.
The state at which our people have been subjected to, during this whole time has made us depend abundantly on the European and American countries. And for that, we can only be paying debts over debts. Meanwhile we have resources that if well managed can benefit us in many way. Resources such as diamond, gold, oil and many more can easily generate money for us. Let us take oil for instance, with the bribes and the conditions being given to our leaders when business proposition are subjected to them, they don't care about the good of the country when signing them but only their greediness. In countries such as USA, China, where the government percentage over production goes around 40 to 50 percent, we negotiate and sometime beg for 15% to 25%.
We need to rise up and make the changes now. We can do it now not with these old fashion politicians, they have already been corrupted, but with the young leaders rising up, seminar upon seminar, and public relation on how to help your country grow through effort of leadership. And i have come out with an idea that will gear up any generation of  our time.
Let us organize a TV reality show all over Africa that will let young people from Senior High School to University contest with speech over different issues from religion to politic to social welfare. This will make them know what is at stake and that is awaiting them in the near future.
