For Africans, Africa could be a better place

If we could all take care of each other, Africa could be the best continent on the planet. There are many questions that Africans have, but no answers. Do Africans care for one another? The continent has a vast history, but no one has been able to put it into effect; many individuals have many theories but have failed to put them into practice. A continent with far too many manifestos but limited thinking. We wish to be on this continent, yet it is tough to develop. A vast family continent with little affection. People who claim to be educated but are incapable of solving difficulties. The continent of many papers bearing degrees but little information. The continent of experts who pass judgment on those with limited understanding. People who profess to be doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, and who have a lot of drugs in their hospitals, but who have failed to control the continent's death rate. The continent's population professes to be 90% Christian, with numerous churches, however, they lack faith and morals. The continent of people who promote each other and esteem qualified individuals. People who have a lot to say but can't prove it to others' content. Many people cannot generate their own food in a continent with ample territory. The continent of people who claim to love each other but don't give a damn about the name if they are hungry. The continent of people who devastate the environment without regard for future generations. The continent of people who pretend to be peaceful but nevertheless come from impoverished backgrounds. The continent of individuals who form a peaceful alliance in order to gain money. The continent of cheerful individuals who fought against their families for the sake of politics. The continent of males who murder women in the name of something they call love but do not practice. The continent of people who congregate and prepare meals when a family member passes away. The continent of people who want to marry coworkers and educated people but can't commit for more than a year. Because they don't trust each other, folks on the continent live in fence houses. Many people without children live on this continent, but there are many youngsters without parents. People believe in abortion, baby dumping, and family planning, but there are many street children. There are more police officers on the continent, but there are also more criminals and road accidents. The continent has many lawyers, yet there are still incomplete cases on the court docket. The continent gained political liberty but not economic liberty. The continent of individuals who care about others but don't have anything to give them, and those who do have something don't care about others. This continent requires leaders who put others before themselves. Let us share what we do have.
