CORRUPTION IN AFRICA A DANCE OF SHAME.

in #wafrica6 years ago (edited)

Here in African, we loose billions of dollars to curruption. That money could be use to build hospitals ,schools and create more jobs for the African people, no wonder many African people who visit hospital when they are sick never return home alive due to lack of medical equipments to better meet their health needs or better still the doctors and nurses are on strike due to delayed payment of their salaries and wedges. This is because African leaders do not go to our hospital when they are sick rather they choose to go to Europe, America or Asia for their medical treatment. A country like Ghana loses about ghc 4 billion on corruption pay year and we are here taking about Ghana beyond aid .How possible will that be when our leaders are busy enriching their own pocket.

A child born in Africa today should be equal to a child born in America , Asia or Europe,but the opposite is the case. African countries are been recognized as a third world country and their children are seen like minors in a continent that has all it takes to be a first world country, a continent that flows with milk and honey and the African People are wallowing in abjects poverty .

Africa's progress depends on our democracy which includes free and fair election, freedom of speech, equal rights to everyone.

When journalist are being put behind bars for doing their job, then we can not boast of our democracy any longer

African Democratic progress has been defeated because our leaders have refused to leave office when their tenor is over.
Nobody is above the law.
I don't understand why African leaders want to stay longer in office beyond there tenor expecially when they have stolen lots of money and owns lots of properties and still want to change the law to allow them stay longer, look at Zimbabwe, Togo and Congo, nobody should be president for life.
Our environments are shitholes, I was so surprised when Africa leaders join suite to criticize president Trump's comments on Africa, no access to clean water, good road Network.

Gone are the days when our leaders will gather us together in a market square, school parks,etc during campaign train with an empty promises, calling us the leaders of tomorrow knowing fully well that tomorrow never comes and so they stay in office as long as they want.
African Youth are not the tomorrow's leaders because tomorrow never comes, but rather we are today's leaders because tomorrow start today .
God bless Africa.
