What is wrong with Africa? My thoughts..

Many have gone! What is wrong with Africa?

Why is this happening to us? Why all the deaths and pains in Africa? Why can’t Africa stay peacefully for as long as a year ? Why can’t we grow like Europe and America? Why not earthquake? Why ? Why? Why?

As reported by Sahara reporters on the 28^th November, 2014 over 200 worshippers were killed in a bomb explosion in Kano which ripped through the Central mosque where the Emir of Kano worships regularly on Fridays.

This is barely few days after Suspected Boko Haram extremists ambushed and slaughtered 48 fish vendors near Nigeria’s border with Chad.

The explosion occurred ahead of Friday prayers.

While the security agencies are yet to issue a statement, some accounts say that over 200 persons may have been killed in the incident.

The attack was coming barely two weeks after the Emir Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi ll, who regularly worships at the mosque, urged citizens to take their destiny in their hands and protect communities from those carrying out violent attacks. However, Sahara Reporters has learned that he is away in Mecca when this ugly incident occurred.

Who can answer those questions above for us? When will Africa grow beyond all this setbacks?

I observe that this killings in form of crisis, war, or struggles or epidemics occur when certain development efforts are been made in areas of infrastructures, education and economy. And at the event of this vices, those efforts collapse and reset to 15years back then later on after destroying our rich human capital and infrastructures that cost so much and has potential of causing spontaneous development we then calm again and start crawling and working hard to rebuild, renovate, recuperate, re-apply for help, re-invest, restart, recruit to resurrect in high spirit and when we get to a good stage we reset the clock. Sometimes I think we are struggling in vain, or we are struggling against our sins, or maybe we are struggling with ignorance and disrespect for ourselves. Am aware the developed countries faced similar challenges before they got better, so, I know we shall be better but it can be faster if we stop this killings and respect human life preciously knowing that we cannot create one matured man ourselves and so has no right to terminate a life made by God. For me, I feel that you owe God a life or more depending on how many you kill. It’s either your life or the life you are trying to protect. Lets be wise and stop killing.

God help Africa! God save Nigeria!!
