When we provide a solution to a particular problem, the potential problems that may arise due to the solution we are providing should be pre-studied and analysed carefully, otherwise the solution by itself may not mean anything. For life in this world has many tricky issues and there are always uncertainties that may arise and happen, and destroy what we have constructed for centuries and ages. There is one good example for this, which is a kind of tale about China long time ago. These Chinese people who lived in ancient time, they made a campaign to ruin every fly from their territory, and they became successful in doing that. But as a result of destroying the flies, there occurred a kind of epidemic in the nation and many people were dying. While investigating and analysing this situation, they came about with a matter that the reason why all those people were dying was because of another tiny bacteria. The epidemic occurred and killed many people due to the non-existent of the flies, for which the flies were eating the bacteria and those bacteria were not known and identified before, but as a matter of the disappearance of the flies, they became known. This situation has a great deal to tell.
Nowadays, we are currently following the footsteps of those nations who are ‘developed’ before us, and we are trying to imitate their mentality and products, which may need further thought and contemplation, as to why we need to follow them, and as to how far? Otherwise, if we are copying what they are doing, our essence of independence and true reality is under question, and our rational and freedom of choice will be in a big dilemma. Material prosperity is good, but it is not an end. We can learn from what modern civilization has brought in terms of morals and characters, we should not commit the same mistakes as those who practiced it before us, but can modify in a way those worthy cultural and moral settings cannot be affected and destroyed.
We have a great responsibility to build a realm decorated with high moral values and great intellectual expertise in today, which will be ready as a model for the generations to come here after, so that the people after us will contribute and make positive efforts, and transform society to an age of delight and comfort which will be the corner stone and foundations of generations hereafter.

Writing is a powerful instrument to promote one's ideology, so as to transform and galvanize the whole of humanity to have a better perspective about this world.
Words are just combinations of letters, but the power they exert in every human frame is still a mystery to all.
Writing uses these mysterious forces of words as a tool to introduce, induce and create vibrations in society, which do have an influence on every aspect of our life as human beings.
May the power of WORDS prevail over all!!

Thanks for the excellent article! The root causes are inherited by post independence leaders who only care for their masters.
colonial masters left policy structures about everything for their benefit and interests mainly in subjugating and mineral exploitation.
Colonial masters did not foster a technical education to harness the vast mineral potential for Africans,instead,give scholarships for us to study in their countries subjects not relevant to the African settings.
This is the time Africa to use its leverage with mineral potential to root out incompetence.All countries are looking ar Africa as it undergoes a new phase of colonialism by Turkey,Japan, and China
