In honest hearts the future of Africa is unknown. Lurking in that darkness is the notion of "when" not "if". No nation can sustain such non-productivity for any reasonable amount of time. No nation can sustain a lack of sovereignty for so long without initiating a natural war to serve its cause and change its leadership. Africa is due and I'm not sympathetic to the Africans. The levels of immaturity are so startling I often wonder why. Truly wonder why. I have friends who have considered themselves, in hubris, to be high-level players in the new world, jet-setting across the world thinking themselves relevant. Most of these went to top-notch schoolz and learned, only, to be part of the Western Structure and System. So they play their parts but their depths are irrelevant and breadth willfully negligible. Some things are obvious. Without quality of life productivity is a no-go. Qol in Africa requires only consistent electric power, good plumbing and pipe borne water, and decent roads to transport goods and services, coupled, of course, with communications infrastructure foundational for all business. Why don't these my friends spend any energy lobbying for these things? They are without the bounds of their expertize. So like Okonjo-Iweala they claim to have reduced debt or kept inflation at check when the only thing we can truly say about the Nigerian economy since 1983 is that inflation is at 100%. Do you know what that means for a country?
I'm sure you don't.... figure it out.
