For over four decades after the attainment of political independence from the colonial powers of Europe, it seems to me that, despite the news of economic development trend moving in the positive direction, the African Continent is still suffering from subtle forms of domination by political, economic, social, military or technical means. The United Nations and its agencies - the World Bank and International Monetary Fund -have provided lots of developmental money and development experts over the years to the continent with not much to show for the expense and efforts. Most Africans still do not have safe drinking water, schools to attend, hospitals to go to when they fall sick and no gainful employment for the educated class.
I am inviting all Africans on the continent and in the diaspora, genuine friends of Africa, to suggest how we can correct the situation by first identifying the causes and proposing new ways of tackling the underdevelopment problems we face. The Struggle Continues.
