Africa government impact in strengthening Poverty... It's really disappointing

Our government is one of the pillars strengthening poverty in the Africa today. Don’t be surprised they do a lot of things to boost the growth of poverty instead of boosting the growth of the country they vowed to serve ; they are obsessed with money and power that achieved when in government.

I use to say something”don’t judge a Politician until he or she has attained a post” they are good at acting, pretending, promising when seeking for the position but none of these can be used to qualify a man in politics.

Africa governments have really destroyed Africa and condemn the Continent to poverty. Do you know? Our government failing to do their responsibility has landed Africa where we are today. Government responsibility includes providing job but where are the jobs today, my question is how does a country without job for the citizen be free poverty? We work to earn a living but when there are no jobs, we survive badly and this strengthens poverty.

Yesterday episode of this topic talked about war and terrorism attack, how is has scare investors off our continent. Don’t be surprise to know that after the people in government acquire the country wealth, they don’t invest in their country because of our level of insecurity. Who is supposed to provide security for the country? They have failed to provide job and are not doing anything to boost the security level which can make the investors feel very safe to come and invest in Africa.

Let me use my country as an example of how government has signed a contract with poverty, Nigeria are facing the problem below:

APPOINTMENT OF UNQUALIFIED PERSONEL IN OFFICE: this is very rampant in my country likewise other African countries, people buy their way into the government. They are not qualified but because they have the resources to waste in getting there and later they gather it back when they get into the position; they regain their loss in multiple folds. Have you wondered why they don’t care about us anymore when they get in power is because they must gather all what they have lost while trying to take the post. Still about the unqualified personnel in office, people in the Government bring in unqualified people into office (government departments) due to reason like relationship between them.

Sometimes ago I heard a story of a governor who gave his uncle a road contract but his uncle squandered the money without touching the job and believe me, he wasn’t checked. The contract was then reassigned to someone else, two resources for one job. All these goes a long way, a person with no idea of healthcare will be handed post because of the relationship, let me assure you that doing that is just like giving a chef a house to roof. How good do you expect the roofing to be?

EMBEZELLMENT: embezzling is one of the attribute of people in Africa government .In the news you will hear things like billions going missing and it even got to stage where they started lying about animal coming to pack the money. All this money can be use to strengthen Africa defense against Poverty by providing jobs, education and so on but that is not the story, they go about buying houses in expensive parts of the World, expensive cars, going on holidays using the countries money for unnecessary things.

There are little infrastructures, poor education system, poor healthcare system yet they feel unconcerned because their families aren’t living in that Poverty the country is going through. Africa youth leave their countries to other countries for job when we have what it takes to provide job, unfortunately many have lost their lives in this process.

As citizens we have roles to buy, many times we have sold our right to the people in government, they deceive us with worthless and we fall for them. They buy our vote for peanuts and we sell it meaning Poverty even has the power to confuse you in decision making.
