AFRICA MUST RISE AGAIN

Sometimes I wonder what actually strikes some people to cause havoc,confusion and so much disturbances in their communities.As I continue to ponder over this issue so many times,what comes to my mind that make people to make life unbearable for others is the struggle for political power,the use of the stronger ones to bully the vulnerable.And this has actually being the cause of underdevelopment in Africa.Poverty and hunger have taken a greater toll in the life of African people.But what amazes me is that politicians in their quest to occupy political positions make so much promises,but when they assume power they forget about the very people who put them there.They therefore resort to flimsy excuses by blaming their predecessors for not laying better foundations for them.This make them to forget that when they were making those promises it never occurred to them that as African nation definitely there would be debts to settle as every successful government has no option to generate revenue internally than to go to the world bank,IMF and other agencies to borrow money for the country's socio-economic development.
Politicians just give these flimsy excuses because they take advantage of the many people's level of ignorance to score high political marks.This been the bane of countries like Kenya,Zimbabwe and several African countries in experiencing better development.I therefore use this medium to plead with African leaders to employ the brain of their experts to build Africa rather than all the time employing the services of men of the developed countries as consultants,awarding them huge contracts who turn to transfer these moneys to their respective countries.And these are the people we go to them for loans and grants.
PLEASE AFRICA,LET'S THINK BUT LET'S THINK WISELY.
