Flowery words, but nothing happens until the corruption is stamped out and mysticism is replaced with reason. Good luck with that. A nation is it's people and, right now, Africa is a land of backwards thinking religions and self-serving despots. No amount of foreign aid and investment is going to change that. As sad as it would be to witness, Africa needs to be conquered completely before it can find it's a way. Preferably from within. Seriously, what are the chances that the chronically altruistic West is going to stand by and let that happen? Not very likely.I am an African a Nigerian at that. African people are great and I so wish Africa can stand on their own. There should be more things to change but I have 7 points if they change, we can be the world's biggest real financial region.
1) Remove the corruption and make tougher laws for the corruption.
2) Africa 2nd biggest problem is showing off when you guys start simple life and spend the "showing off" money to help others.
3) Divide work with each other, meaning, manage your HR better way in the form of teams rather than do everything by yourself.
4) create your own currency in form of gold or silver, whichever, but it should be standardised.
5) Solve your problem by yourself internally don't take any help from others and don't allow others to help you if they want to offer help, pay them for the genuine help (transfer of technology or knowledge or development) but don't accept any aid.
6)All the injustices we suffer, from hunger and homelessness to joblessness and escalating prices to endless wars and other forms of government betrayal, are mere consequences of one single underlying, monumental crime: usury lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest from the west and cohorts the unnecessary bailouts.free us from the shackles of usury then we can progress forward.
7)Natural resources do not equate to wealth to citizens. People are the best resources. Africans need to stop fighting among themselves and start developing their human resources instead of exploiting their natural resources.
