Slow But Steady, The Africa Way to Develop

I watch with dismay how somalia childrend and women are dying of starvation, of all the country in the world somalia remain the region where famine has killed more than war the scene is just horrible, all boil down to the fact that africa is still way behind is other developing nations.

oh africa my dear africa when shall you develop and rise from the slumber your leader have put you in. the failure of our leader, no ruler is the failure of us all. A former america president once declare that ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country, and that makes me ponder what exactly can one do for a nation that is cripple with unlimited problems, but then again that is where you can do something for your country from the problem one can create a solution, what ever solution you proffer can contribute immensely to the development of the nation no matter how small it is. anyone that deem it fit to import contraception pill into a third world country like africa has also contributed his or her own part in the reduction of population, poverty has somehow led to population explosion in some part of africa the untimely check of those that are out of work contribute to the level of population we found ourselves, for instance when husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend have no work to do they are tend to have sex very frequently as such pregnancy is concieve regularly, but with contraception pill available it will protect the risk of getting pregnant unwanted pregnancy will not be a issue. Apart from individual endeavour to development, national development is at the door step of the government. If there is a government that think right the people will also think right surely good thinking will yield good product, although good governance is not easily come by especially in africa where everybody think about his selfish needs. Governance in Africa can be view lika clan where the matriarch or the patriarch transmit power to their family but that does not mean development will cease to come, there will be massive control of wealth from this clan, the development will however come from the wealth. The pms money i.e premium motor spirit is a very significant example of wealth in Africa simply because pms is the biggest money making venture. Nigeria and Libyia which are one of the biggest exporter of crude oil derive huge amount of money per day for just one barrel of crude oil. Beside petroleum product that generate income for the nation, government now focus some of her attention to agriculture and farming. The clarion call from the government to his populace to join hand and make farming a lucrative venture has been turn down by many of us, simply because agriculture especially farming is regarded as a job for the uneducated many graduate want white colar job that is difficult to secure. Although it will be difficult for someone that has lived all his life in the big city to go back to one remote village and start farming. All the same like Adam Smith an economist/philosopher said about econeomic that, is an inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations elaborate inquiry has to be made on how farming can surpass the income of what petrol generate for the country unless that is done very few will end up as a farmer. After crude oil information technology is something that has really blossom in Africa the very poorest can go on the internet and do something with it, that’s what the young and the restless want not farming, information technology is now a tool use to carry out various form of business far and wide, so Africa is also coming up the world should be aware of that
