Life has been defined in so many ways through generations. Development plays some part in these definitions, as a young African woman, life equals poverty eradication, which equals development, which means equity sharing in Africa.
Africa has been defined by the world as a developing continent for so long, yet poverty increases day by day, so many remedies have being prescribed by so many economic doctors, yet our sickness keeps growing from worse to worst.
So I ask, who best to describe our state of being than ourselves?
Who best to prescribe a remedy for our poor state of development than our own economic doctors?
Yet our leaders are quick to run to a health patient to ask for their prescription to use.
Can’t you see that it’s failed all these years?
