A CRY FOR BLESSED CONTINENT (AFRICA)

Africa the land so richly blessed
With human resources and nature.
But with all this blessings, the people of Africa experience great
torment and sufferings, this made Africa a survival of the fittest continent.
The problem with Africa is not corruption, knowledge, education, resources, stealing, power, money, faith, love, ideas, labour. I tell you non of this is the cause of Africa's present predicaments, their is a major factor eating up Africa everyday. It has gone out of control that the outside world have discovered and capitalized on this factor to ruin Africa more. Take for example the first time western people came to Lagos, it was material things like sugar, mirror, guns etc to offered to the leaders of then that made them give out our men and women out for slavery.
Take away greed from Africa then our darling continent would be a better place for us all. Greed is the reason and cause of the problem Africa is facing today, it is greed that will make a man confiscate funds meant for several individuals to his or herself.
Tell me how a man would serve a nation through out his or her life time, get retired, now to get the reward for retirement is a problem. This is due to somebody or a group of people diverting this funds meant for the senior citizens themselves. This is greed at the highest level, check all corrupt acts they are all as a result of greed and self seeking .
Many are not born with greed , but the situation and conditions here in Africa has changed their mind set and belief. Most people no longer do things for the love of It, but they do it for the love of money, patriotism is forgotten tale. It is only we African's that will make Africa better again .
God bless Nigeria, God bless Africa !
