e have seen the uncertainty of things in Africa. The most painful thing is that all these unfortunate incidents keep on repeating themselves. Each set of politicians for instance comes and presents its own lies and at the expiration of its time it leaves the stage. Another group comes with another set of lies.

We have not asked ourselves why there is endemic corruption in African countries. Nobody has seriously thought over why Africa is always backwards. Do we care to ask ourselves why there is always tribal or ethnic conflicts in Africa? Does it mean that in other developed parts of the world, that they do not have ethnic groups? Africans have not got time to ask why do African politicians team with the neo-colonialists to render Africa poor! Why do African rulers impoverish their different amalgams only to dump their stolen money in banks outside Africa? Why do these banks accept this stolen money knowing fully well the situation of things in Africa?

There are thousands of questions that Africans have not asked. We have not asked these questions because we do not want to go to the root of the problem. Some African rulers as part of their principle of hide and seek jump into solving some of the existing problems but only to create more problems. They have not asked why the problems. Taking Nigeria for instance, it was alleged that a big chunk of the money budgeted for fighting Boko Haram was shared by those in charge. It is a clear fact that the money mapped out for constructing most of the roads were being shared by those entrusted with trust to execute such a duty. Corruption grows deep in every sector in Nigeria. Can’t Nigerians begin to ask why.

Until we ask why, everything we are doing to curb corruption or solve the problems facing Africa may be a waste. The first thing is to ask why this problem? It is by asking this question that one can get the real cause and from the cause, a solution will eventually emerge.

In a little contribution to this why, this blog has it to say that the tap root of our problems lies on the fact that we are not united. We are not united since the colonial masters have arranged us the way we are now. In each country in Africa, the different ethnic groups do not agree with one another. They see themselves as enemies. This was the seed of discord planted in them by the colonial masters. Nobody cares for the amalgam. Each group of politicians takes advantage of this situation and seizes power just to steal and deceive the people. There is corruption because nobody cares. There is ethnic cleansing as it is going on in Southern Kaduna because the citizens see themselves as enemies. Each ethnic group is concerned about its own affairs and the country is abandoned to dilapidate. Politicians utilize this confused state of affairs very well because it favours them to steal without anyone asking question. The way out of the tunnel is the coming together respectively of each African country. Each country must come together to discuss issues concerning the state.

Things are upside down in Africa and a neo-colonialist has the courage to say that this is the best an African state can afford.

Until Africans ask why....

The statement from the British High Commissioner to Nigeria has much to tell us.

We are moving in the way of self-destruction which they mapped out for us fifty years ago and they are happy about it.

They are not interested in the country being restructured and they are want the different parts to go and build up true nations

They want us to remain as we are for they to take advantage of us as they have being doing for long now

Disunity is not the problem of Nigeria. By the way, Africa is nothing more than a geographical expression. Therefore, the problem Nigeria has is the same problem every human being/organization of petty personality has. . . Be it black or white in colour.

The problem is a fundamental one. It has to do with ethical principles. A people that mistakes perfidiousness for cleverness can never experienced progress/development. Opportunism is evil. Opportunity is different from opportunism.

A simple analogy of the difference between a developed nation and an underdeveloped one is; while the developed one exploits outsiders and shares with its citizenry an underdeveloped one exploits its own citizenry and of course lose it to the developed one. . . A case of a too clever by half being beating in his own game.

That calls for restructuring the country and indeed every African country

Today, there is no structure in Africa except corruption

Africans must think twice and the earlier the better

Outsiders create disunity among us and they use us to achieve their selfish ends

There is so because there is no structure, there is no order. There is no rule of law

Africans must rethink

We must not allow outsiders who do not want us to develop to decide for us

every single armed conflict bring mony into the pockets of the USA. through arms purchase

Africa unite!!!

If we unite, they cannot take advantage us

Until Africans starts acting

Do you tribalise in your write up comments and speech.

Are you a coward...come for rally, protests, defend your rights, you will be hiding under bed.

Do you belief your rights end after voting? Has your constituents ever held a town hall to seek your opinion, are you monitoring your local governance? State or federal?

Your appointed leaders live close to you. Hold them accountable.
