AFRICAN POLITICS SET UP

it is said that politics is a dirty game but to me politics is a clean game. when we
come to African countries it becomes a different story. Africans think that politics
is a source of wealth so that’s why people join politics not for a cause but for their
selfish satisfaction. such politicians have led African countries to go backwards
towards development.

CORRUPTION

When it comes to corruption it becomes a different story. Through many ways

people like embezzling funds and misusing government offices. Embezzling occurs
in government leaders like ministers, MPs and Local Council leaders ie The
government has implemented some programs like (PDM)- Parish Model Fund but
when you go to some areas local leaders and natives tell you that nothing is seen
yet. WHY? Funds are being embezzled by government leaders. misusing of offices.
Government offices have left their work that they were allocated for they just
doing work that is not part of government programs.

2.POOR GOVERNANCE

we think that we vote for strong and able leaders but it is contrary when we come
to African countries. instead of serving people, leaders have favored their relatives
through giving them white collar jobs and offering them free services.

SIGNS OF AFRICA'S BACKWARDNESS

A. NEO-COLONIALISM

This is the use of economic or political pressure by powerful countries to control

or influence other countries e.g. use of foreign laws, use of foreign languages, use
of foreign culture .and this has led to immoral practices like homosexuality. Neo-
colonialism has been promoted by high levels of poverty in African countries.

B. DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN AID

Most African countries sit down like maggots waiting for aid from European
countries ie During the lockdown most countries didn't buy vaccines they were
just waiting for donations from United Nations Agencies and some.
