Why did Africa let Europe cart away millions of Africa's souls from the continent to the four corners of the wind? How could Europe lord it over a continent ten times its size? Why does needy Africa continue to let its wealth meet the needs of those outside its borders and then follow behind with hands outstretched for a loan of the very wealth it let go? How did we arrive at this, that the best leader is the one that knows how to beg for a share of what he has already given away at the price of a broken tool? Where is the future of Africa? .Anonymous
About This Quote
The problem with Africa is that it is not its own country. It is not able to govern itself. It is just a region of Europe. It was left to follow the whims of the European countries.
The leaders of African countries are not allowed to think of their own nation, but are restricted by their European counterparts. They are only allowed to think of how they can benefit from the country they live in. They are encouraged to sell out their own nation for personal gain, because that is all they know how to do.
They have been taught that it is in their interest to beg for a share of what they have already given away at the price of a broken tool. The future of Africa lies in building a strong nation and learning how to think for themselves and not follow the lead of other countries in this world.
