It’s Just Not Ghana | It Seems the Entire Africa Continent is SICK With the Same Crop of Leaders across Board

Africa Problems
Africa Problems

There are several problems with individual African countries and I wouldn’t deny every country in the world has it own problems, including the mighty United States and China—but when a set of problems repeat themselves across an entire continent, then there is something wrong with the people or the leaders…

I have traveled extensively across Europe and though these countries that make up the beautiful continent have their own problems, I cannot point out a single problem which is so bad and yet runs through it all.

The level of development in each of the Western European countries is different but I tell you, the basic infrastructure is consistent. Travel from UK into Holland and you will surely feel you are out of Britain, because the difference in architecture is so obvious. And you would also notice the difference in the ‘race of development’ but the basics; water, electricity, hospitals, schools, good transport systems and cleanliness will be available.

Take a jump into Spain, Italy, Belgium, Germany and despite the disparity in their development, you wouldn’t find the basic ingredients which give life a good start for people missing anywhere—more importantly, power will be there for those hard working citizens to make the best of their lives.

My friend who recently traveled across Burkina Faso into Guinea told me a shocking tale of encounter over dinner last week—he said; ‘in some of the places, it was like I had been time-traveled to 551BC. Conditions were so bad and the basic things needed for life to grow were literally missing.’

Currently, Ghana has on its hand a worsening power problem and if it was only in Ghana or a few African countries, I would have comfortably say, it is as a result of the bad leaders these few countries have ‘germinated’.

Even though I struggle to understand how a whole continent can have bad leaders collapsing almost every single country, this seems to be the case and Ghana’s power crisis is not in isolation, Nigeria is worst—and my friends from Uganda say, their electricity is always put off too…

There is no Africa without Madagascar, so they say and this is true because the cut-across power problem is there too. Earlier this year, Madagascar’s Government resigned over their own power crisis. The Prime Minister and the Government’s resignation came following weeks of heavy protest by angry Madagascans who said blackouts have become more frequent since Rajaonarimampianina came to power a year ago. And even before that, the Energy Minister-Richard Fihenena was fired for his inability to solve the problem.

A blogger friend of mine from That1960Chick.Com who relocated from London to Lagos about two years ago wrote the below on her facebook a few minutes ago—and this confirm my assertion that, the problem cuts across, a clear indication that the entire continent is deeply sick with the same crop of leaders in charge of every single unit.

Nigeria is one of the largest oil producing countries in the world, the largest in Afica and yet the citizens cannot even get access to fuel in Lagos—this is just not pathetic, it’s inhumane and shameful. When it comes to electricity, people have not had power in their homes for over 3 months…

Gambia, Rwanda, Chad and others all have this same power problem—even the giant of Africa-South Africa is not immune from the power outages as South Africa currently has a load-shedding in place…

This is not a mere coincidence, the entire continent is sick and I don’t see us getting out of this problem anytime soon—because, we can’t even accept that we are sick.

Maybe Dr. James David Manning is right about Black people in the below video…Watch it!
