What curses Africa? It resources or peoples

Poverty, Hunger, Conflicts and Wars including HIV/AIDS are the things people of the World know about Africa. In recent years they know us because of football as the world cup would be hosted in the country of Nelson Mandela.

Why do we say the country of Nelson Mandela? If all the problems above keeping taking a toil on African peoples it is as a result of grave corruption and bad governance we notice in this rich continent. Our resources be them natural or human sometimes are referred to as curses not because they are actually such but because people say they are the sources of the strife and misery.

This is not true. The real curses in Africa are its people, not its resources. Because as a corrupt people, there is no way we can turn on the button of general interest against individual interest. It is also not true to say it is the African people who are the curses, but more true is the fact that it is just some few individuals in our countries within this continent who are actually the problem and curse...because of their attitudes and actions favouring corruption and promoting bad governance...

Comment by Emmanuel Egwu Acha on February 22, 2011 at 11:41am: Africa must rise again...back to its glory and prosperity, and this we must achieve through the people commitment to effectively combat corruption in whatever form it appears. Even if we are to get support from the world bodies and agencies, we as Africans must exhibit readiness to do this. Democracy and good governance can help us to achieve this. Why is it that most of the corruption institutions and agencies in Africa has been politicized, and deviated from the expectations of the majority Africans? Young Africans need to STAND AGAINST CORRUPTION, If we must survive.
