The problem with this article is that it assumes that all African countries have the same: problems (although we share certain common problems e.g. curroption), amount of mineral resources, man power, or political stability. Therefore, it makes it difficult for me to say that Aid should stop for all the countries in Africa.

The best way is to analyse each country individually. I know of one country I believe should stop receiving Aid and that it Nigeria. Despite any Aid received in the past, the greedy still find a way of benefiting themselves so with or without Aid the people still suffer. Besides, the country is rich in mineral resources, to the extent a former dictator, Abacha, can steal nearly 2 TRILLION DOLLARS (over half of the stimulus amount for the whole of the USA) and that is just Abacha not forgetting what his thugs stole from the Country.

With regards to war torn countries I believe what they need more urgently is military help. They need stability...

Correction I said 1 TRILLION while it is 1 BILLION but it is a lot of money anyway..

Aid as presently constituted should end, it,s not in Africa,s interest. Africa,s vast reserve of stolen funds in western banks should as a matter of urgency be returned to help with the process of national development across Africa,that,ll be more effective than the useless aid being brought in and subsequently repatriated through the back door using their equally useless N.G.O,s. KEEP YOUR AID, RETURN STOLEN FUNDS IN YOUR WATCH.

Ninety-five percent of NGOs in Africa are either EU, American or UN owned. They Channel Aid through their own NGOs. Call them Western GONGOs if you like. Apart from the WTO, IMF imbalance regulations, most of the Aid is characterised by paying huge sum of expertriate fee to their so call directors and field officers, 4x4 cars, exquisite offices or buildings around the capital and provinces and other fat bonuses.So you got to ask yourself, what or who is the Aid funding? I have a friend who always launch tirades on NGOs, he says if he becomes president, he will expel all NGOs in his country. I see reason behind that.

The west and Aid donors are both guilty as the African governments. I agree with Elly Wanda's argurement that the Aid itself is not the problem but the way it is delivered. Peace.

Time to move on is now. Anything as drastic as cutting a cleverly devised sytem of keeping Africa poor and ignorant 'AID' should definitely be cut. We are to trade with the rest of the world as partners, not as recpients of aid. We need to go to a level of partnership,were we batter or trade for goods and services startegically to better our lot. This has been a very annoying reality,that despite Africa's wealth both material and human,we still receive aid!! With regards to leadership, For heavens sake we need to immediately strengthen our resolve to ensure right leaders are elected to office and all this nonsense of short sighted, greedy ,no vision quick fix corrupt individuals who have kept us at the bottom needs to be fixed,harshly!! For God's sake Nigeria you are A SHAME to the rest of us. You should sit in sackcloth for the type of individual you have produced! Is it not better to build great institutions and grand enterprises that lasts for hundreds of generations and benefit the masses than to steal millions for selfish purposes, were has this mediocrity eminated from? The west must also own up and stop receiving stolen money!!!!!!!! Africans let us now challenge our identity and get rid of mediocre minds that are so retarded they make us poor every day! Nation building and enterprising building is now. We have something the world needs, we are not destitute. So Mr.Wanda perhaps a review of your views should be modified. We support balanced partnership not AID!

The main points are these:

Inflows of aid in hard currencies appreciate African currencies to the detriment of exports. Aid money takes brainpower away from the African private sector, that must ultimately generate wealth, occupying clever people in charities and politically-correct bureaucracy. And aid in its old-fashioned form of service delivery allows governments to leave the social sector to foreigners, concentrating their own resources on bribes, military and police to keep themselves in power regardless of their incompetence.

But some forms of aid have moved on, e.g. aid for local advocacy. This is still "neocolonial" interference, but it may produce some good...

Downsizing of the civil services have NOT made corruption endemic in Africa, on the contrary, the problem is excessive states funded by aid money.

[This inspiring poem was featuring in the movie “Coach Carter ”]

Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.

We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?

Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.

Your Playing Small Doesn’t Serve The World.

There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Won’t Feel Insecure Around You.

We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.

We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.

It’s Not Just In Some Of Us; It’s In Everyone.

And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.

And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others

- Marianne Williamson -

[NOTE – BEING AFRAID AND REFUSING TO GET INVOLVED WON’T STOP US FROM DYING. BUT BEING AFRAID CAN PREVENT US FROM LIVING]

(Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )

God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .

God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.

From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.

Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.
