what went wrong with Africans

African should Take Hold of their Destiny

Economic development in most African countries since attaining independence doesn’t give hope to Africans. Amazingly instead of moving forward new backward economic movements emerge. The kind of economic backwardness we are trying to talk about herein is highly experienced by majority due the blackout of some leaders.

Fortunately this endless problem was formally raised most seriously by few African leaders who had individually embarked on a non-capitalist path of development in their mode of thought; and the problems were considered within the context of inequalities and contradictions not just between Africa and western also inside Africa that create some clashes within. That is the element of conscious activity that signifies the ability to make history, by grappling with the heritage of objective material conditions and social relations.

Since it was addressed, hence its upon the Africans to turn back where they went wrong and stop waiting for the Western countries to think on their behalf. The idea of Dambisa Moyo of avoiding too much economic dependant got its credibility, since she believes not only foreign aid to be given priorities rather financing development. She argues, “Limitless development assistance to African governments, has fostered dependency, encouraged corruption and ultimately perpetuated poor governance and poverty”.

As for her concern it is very true African backwardness is due to the legacy of some irresponsible leaders that pass the idea of total dependency and easy going life. Due to this we are currently serving the needs of western country. Currently, the president spend most of his time in western country looking for the so called development stakeholder to whom came to reap that had been kept for long by the founder of this nation. 

So, it’s a high time for Africans to stop looking for financial aid rather asking for skills and knowledge since it’s the only solution for continuously being underdeveloped in all aspect of life while we have plenty of resources that made the western developed. Hence the fate is when African will take hold of their destiny by being responsible accountable and real patriots.
