    We should concentrate on long lasting agricultural projects, mostly in our undeserved population areas, this will reduce all this baize and political tension. work hand in hand with local leaders and village heads , not same creed of people who will pretend to be the peoples ambassadors , while they are more concern about their pockets. I think if i have something to do i wont mine what goes on with the government and will not listen to any proposal from any rebel group to join them fight for my rights, lets remember a hungry man can do whatever he need to do to feed himself, my fellow men lets sit up and stop deceiving our undeserved population

    We as members of African community have become uncomfortable hearing same tune everyday , every year while the causes of poverty, Children and family remain endemic. Heres Africa's biggest problem , they 're containable if leaders have the resolve to do so. Robbery of money inteded to develop , create jobs, build schools and hospitals , reduce inequalty , give communities entitlement by improved agricultural productivity . These are very simple things to do for your community. I am tired hearing same story everyday while the same people who tell these stories , Churches, Political leadewrs , and the inglorious NGOs use the money cillected for this purpose to live like thin kings.

    THIS UNITED NATIONS THAT IS AND HAS BEING CONTROL BY COLONIALS AND NEO-COLONIALS. TO BE FRANK, IT WILL BE VERY HARD FOR THEM TO END POVERTY IN AFRICA, OR SHOULD I SAY THAT IT WILL NEVER HAPPENS. WHAT THEY SHOULD BE SAYING IS:- LET'S "COLONIALS AND NEO-COLONIALS" FIND ANOTHER WAY(S) TO DEEPLY EXPLOIT AFRICA AND AFRICANS INSTEAD OF THEM PLAYING THAT CAT AND MOUSE GAMES WITH AFRICANS AND THE CONTINENT. IN THAT CASE AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IS THAT:- AFRICA AND AFRICANS SHOULD STOP PLAYING THIS SILLY MIND GAMES WITH THE COLONIALS AND NEO-COLONIALS; OR ELSE, AFRICA WILL CONTINUE TO SUFFER IN THE HANDS OF THESE COLONIALS AND NEO-COLONIALS FOR ANOTHER CENTURIES TO COME.
