Economic Success: Africa Needs Africanism Not Capitalism

April 17, 2023 4:02 am

It is paradoxical and somewhat ironic that one of the richest continents in the world as far as resources are concerned today parades the poorest sets of people anyone can find on the planet. Africa has for many years remained at the very centre of global economic interests and attention, with major powers still scrambling and failing over its highly lucrative resources. Though stereotypically perceived as the conventional recipient of humanitarian aid, the truth remains that Africa still is, for the most part, being deprived of (its own) wealth rather than benefiting from charitable, outside help as it appears.

Nigeria has, for many years, teetered on the precipice of failure and the deterioration has continued unabated. Synonymous with a downward slippery slope, the journey to the abyss has continued unchecked and Nigerians can only groan. The political elites who run the country like a private estate have refused to allow reason to prevail.
