<html> <p> With the increasingly growing economic vibrancy in Africa, worldfinace.com (2017) records that Ethiopia, Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire are amongst the world’s five fastest-growing economies in the world. Apart from this, Africa has enormous resources-human, material and natural, and over 60% of the world’s uncultivated/arable land that is suitable for agriculture rest in this continent. </p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmQbiQQnyoyJLDazZ7u35aF3XZzgtn4PufbDhYVHjgQQtx/fot.jpg <blockquote><em><strong>This begs the question, why are so many people desperate to leave behind a land of such opportunity for a nation that have less of these resources and blessings? </strong></em></blockquote> <blockquote><em><strong>What has made Africa as a blessed continent to be racked by conflict and poverty, with future leaders risking and often losing their lives in an attempt to flee as if they flee from a plague? </strong></em></blockquote> <p>This may be as a result of the fact that the vast wealth of Africa is often not being translated into development in Africa. The wealth in Africa seems to be exported to benefit other nations of the world, benefit a few individuals in the society or squandered completely. </p> <p>More often, the focus on Africa’s challenges is a call for more resources which lead to the enrichment of the elite class and not the entire continent. When challenges of poverty, insecurity, healthcare and unemployment intensify, instead of utilizing the resources available, we inquire more resources through loans and grants, resources that will never be used to build up the continent. The same resources that will sweep the masses down the drain of deprivation and vulnerability. </p> <p>We need to know that as a continent, to achieve growth and development in every facet, we need much more than ‘asking and begging’ money. We need to make do with what we have. We need to be AFRICANS! There is more to us than meets the eyes...</p> <p>Just Musing!</p> <p>Much Love!</p> <p>I am @outhori5ed </p> </html>
