THE PROBLEM WITH AFRICA 3


They asked us to find ‘X’ when our fathers who found ‘X’ weren’t able to pay our bills with the ‘X’ they found several years back and our elder brothers who looked for ‘X’ from their primary to their tertiary education are suicidal because of the irrelevance of ‘X’ in the Africa they are living in.
Africa should train Africans in the capacity she has the provisions to employ Africans. We should educate our children in the field where she intend to employ them or where they can thrive on their own in the African economy
What’s the use of studying mechanical engineering, civil engineering and the many courses Africans don’t have the provisions to engage those who graduate in them?
The roads in Africa are constructed by either Julius Berger or some foreign, African presidents’ visits foreign doctors, our planes and automobiles are made abroad. Everything we use in Africa is imported beginning from our tooth-pick to virtually everything. Why do we train our children in professions we don’t use their services?
Those who struggled to build companies that offers these services we pay foreigners for, we refuses to patronize them, we rather see a foreign company offer same services our local entrepreneurs would have offered us.
Many years ago I met a mother who wouldn’t remove the beads on her neck though they look amateur and less beautiful but she was so proud of it because it was done by her daughter. That bead was her most treasured adornment.
If Africa can treasure what she had trained her children to produce and offer, her children would become better at learning how to produce and offer better services.
Its time Africans study the African economy before taking up courses and professions in schools. We should know profession and courses in school we can take that’ll be relevant to our lives in Africa. There is no need being an engineer or a professional in Africa that has no provision to employ and put you to use.
If the government of Africa does nothing as usual, tomorrow another African child would go to school and be told to find ‘X’ which won’t be relevant to his life and African future.
God bless you
