Which way Africa?

Each day i wake up, i wake up to and with a thought of what's happening to the Mother Africa? Why is Africa acting backwards? Why do we still remain dependent on the colonial masters to survive? Why is African Political leaders selling away their continents future for few pennies? Why is the African youths see no future in themselves anymore? A lot of questions yet to be asked and given answers to.

As a human, I'm grateful for life and as an African youth especially during the global pandemic, I'm grateful for still being alive because survival is one of the most difficult things anyone could through, but God so good we are here alive save and sound.

Africa remains the second largest continent with 54 countries and Nigeria occupying the largest population, this making Nigeria the Giant of Africa both in terms of GDP and industries. African remains blessed with so many natural mineral resources beyond count, ranging from crude oil down to gold and lots more, without skipping the readily available of man power. Yet with all these, the mother Africa never keeps wallowing in a circle.

Majority of the male youths are actively involved in fraud one way or the other, and the way it's being glorified, celebrated and advertised is not just alarming but heartbreaking, even the just graduating high school (secondary school) students are delving into taking fraud as daily job activities, Africa which way?

Majority of the female folks are either dating the fraud guys or married men so as to get upgraded financially, they don't even believe in hard work anymore. Infact this is making it even more difficult for a young promising man working legitimately to ask a lady out because the ones engaging in fraud and lavishing money has set the bar so high that it becomes almost impossible to date and maintain a beautiful lady, because the male ones see fraud as a way out and the female ones see dating the ones engaging in fraud as their own hustle and financial way out.

Educational system is almost becoming useless that the youths are almost believing school is a scam, so they nurture the believe that you make money so you will employ the first class graduates to work for you as driver. Our educational system doesn't encourage creative thinking from the young ones, so the students believe getting good grades is all that matters, even the ones reading would not be able to remember what he/she was thought just 2 weeks after writing exam, they've nutured the believe that schooling doesn't help, especially when they see their mates who aren't so bright academically living large and enjoying the luxury of life at finger tips, oh which way Africa?

Our government has continued to be the cankerworm eating the continent future and keeping the wealth for themselves and their generation to come, like they will all live to even witness or live to spend those hoarded wealth. They travel to the western world and see the big development, yet when the come back home they become blind and retarded to do the same in their respective countries. They embezzle money meant for their country men and go straight to the western countries to keep them which in turn increases the economy of those countries. When they are campaigning for election, they come as a democratic but when they hold that position, they become and turn to tyrants, stepping on the human rights of the citizen they are ruling over, they become power intoxicated, which way Africans?

The leaders of the African countries prefer to buy or import food while they can employ and empower the farmers to do more in Agriculture so there would be abundant of food ,and which in one way or the other increase and help the country's economy by being self sufficient and even exporting out of the excess proceeds. A popular research says only if Africa can be serious with Agriculture, the whole of Africa can feed the western world. instead they prefer importing them maybe because of the likely money they want to embezzle from it, which way Africa?

Our natural resources is gradually becoming our enemy in the way of selling them out to pay masters, to the highest bidder, so far you have money. We mine the natural resources and still invite the pay masters to help us refine, while we have the readily available men power and resources to carry all of that out right in our own land, but our leaders remain deaf and blind to these solely because of the money they want to embezzle for themselves, which way Africa?

Our security system and authorities are now turning into institution of mockery, the so people given the ability to protect the citizens are the ones harrasing them and trampling on their human right solely because they are wielding guns. They leave home everyday praying for daily bread in way of extorting and going about chasing young men in the name of trying to catch fraudsters, which has become normal thing and menace of the day, which way mama Africa?

I'm black, I'm ,proud and i believe Africa is going to be great again!
