African Plague


Amazingly there are many human scourges in Africa than the natural catastrophes in the rest of the world continents combined. It is not a curse or by fate for such devastating and tormenting encounters to befall this lovely continent.
Notably, divergent views have been put forward in justifying the controversial quirks. Many belittle the happenstances denouncing them as coincidences fronted by nature.
This leaves one to wallow in worry how wicked, Immoral and disparaging corruption acts could ever be termed as coextensive to natural disasters. It is a suicidal misfortune which must be profoundly condemned.
Fraud owing to greed of those in power has deprived many countries of their growth and development. Funds from taxing the poor have been misappropriated and siphoned by the few politically connected thieves. These are no different from murderers who will not overlook any chance to rob you of your life in pursuing their endeavors.
Bad governance and despotism is another menace befalling Africa. Again, this is a willful act. How dishonorable to embrace tyranny in the current world order when human rights ought to be at the peak.
Shockingly, these two scandalous vices combined result to a massive loss to the people. It is more shameful that this surpasses the destructive and thrashing effects of even hurricanes, tsunami and drought.
Quite appalling is the thought of when shall there be equity, equality, accountability and democratic rule in many of these countries? It is time such unspeakable, outrageous, and disgusting branding disappeared in Africa. The buck stops with everyone engaging in electing leaders. Voters need be the trailblazers in ridding themselves of tribalism, nepotism and clannism which hoodwink them while choosing their leaders.
