Africa, a Troubled Continent, Eyes Obama With Impossibly High Hopes

Are Nigerians and Africa in general inherently predisposed to gluttony and corruption? The practice of how unscrupulous Nigerians try to out-do each other in the art of who looted what and how much and when, demonstrate a culture that requires a different kind of antidote than whatever they have in place today. If the forces of natural destination have not condemned us to mediocrity, the genius of Nigerians to counter and prevail in prosperity is imaginable.

Our country and continent is a place of great concern for all of us, because we believe we can do better for our nation and our families. Nigeria is under a recession like most other countries in the world. The central economic issue can change if Nigeria and African leaders declare radical new economic social cultural measures that decriminalize the nature of Africa’s social corruption and practices. To get results that would resolve the chaos plaguing Africa “we must listen to our people, including those who are corrupt by default, those who wanted to keep the tradition of the old century of tribal favoritism, and those new educated elites in western cultures ingeniously advancing the imperialist interest after colonialism, and listen to those who push for ways of the present and future.” By Joseph Eshimakuni Ukonga. The reasons for political social and economic life and crimes of any nation have roots in its national experience and culture, practiced long enough to become fairly accepted or pervasive. The mind set and ideological conflict of Nigeria or Africans persuades them to keep stolen money and nation’s wealth in the bushes or stash them in foreign accounts used by those countries to build viable economies for their family and their nation, while many Nigerians and Africa are dying of starvation and simple curable diseases. The reinvested of recoverable asset back into the African economy just like the stolen dreams and visions of Africans generations ago or the brain drain and exploitations of Africa’s human and natural resources to create a better living African society and strengthen our nation and restore pride in Africa as a peaceful land envisioned by our great ancestors from Egypt to Cape Town.

Relief for US non immigrant

I think preisdent Obama should assist non immigrants living in the US by granting them the previledge to adjust their status and begin a new life.Policy makers should exclude aliens who are inclined to criminal activities.The honest and law abiding alien should be given room to make his or her contribution in the building of America's economy.The tax burden rest primarily on those who earn less than one hundred ten thousand dollarls annually($110,000.00),which means that great number non immigrants and immigrants fall within the tax bracket together with manstream average Americans,who pay the taxes,money the government need to function.Unfortunately,these are the people that are least consider for any asistance.

Poverty is a global phenomenon,studies in europe has found out that unemployed youth are easily radicalized to uphold extremist ideology.Therefore,non immigrant should be allow to make a living by extending a

tender loving kindness that will make their stay in the US legal.However,this does not justify felon who violated the laws of the land to satisfied their want,but to create a condusive atmosphere to reduce the stress and depression caused by the current economic crisis.

Many policy makers and those who influence policies, have no idea what it means to be poor and making a living in a foreign

land.There is a higher power watching over the whole world and what we do towards the welfare of our fellow man shall be counted to us as blessing.Moreover,when we failed to do what is right when we have the power to go good,that is sin.

I believe that the US must strongly continue to support Israel.The US policy toward Africa must be based on a long term project for Africa's progress in the field of Science and technology,communication,infrastructure,education and food security.I will make a living by my handwriting,but i promise that someday i shall make a living with my pen.(Alexandre Dumas).

Africa-High hope?

Africa and the African have what it atkes to turn the African's lifestyle around. The main position for the Obama administration to take is to :

1,Prevent the currupt leaders of Africa from sucking the blood

of their people , set up Anti-curruption crusade.

2,Sanction any country that allow the rigging of their election, Prevent the leaders and the followers from craziness of power.

3,Repatriate those money starched in the foreign Banks, by their leaders to an excrow account that can monitor the effective use of the moneis.

4,Transparecncy should be encouraged and protection to be available to the wistleblowers.

Africans/Africa may not require any aid if the above meeasures are implimented accordingly. The common people of Africa are suffering while their leaders are getting fatter, sorry mother Africa.

Africa,a troubled continent,eyes Obama with i.......

I doubt if AFRICA is as much troubled as any other continents of the world at this point in time of the world history.With the comming of Obama presidency what it deserves from the West and particularly the US is massive international humanitarian assistance in the mode of the US MARSHAL PLAN FOR EUROPE after the second World War.This is predicated on the negative role the West played in Africa during the years of atlantic slave trade.Obama presidency should rise up to the expectation of the AFRICAN continent in this area.

Africa A Tumbled Continent

Respond to "Africa, A troubled continent eyes Obama with impossible high hopes."

By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet of Environment.

As far as Myself as Prophet is concerned, Africa is no just a "Troubled" but a "Tumbled" continent which is totally hopeless. As Global Warming progresses all moisture, hopes and "dreams" in Africa and for all African everywhere will quite simply evaporates to the point of uninhabitability for that entire Dark Continent and elsewhere.

There are no free lunches and all atrocities must be avenged more than a trillion time over. Just what make some people think they can get away with their tortures of Myself and others?

It is perfect timing for African heads of state ,legitimate & dictator alike, to host this American President.He, understandably ,will connect immediatly with the people and prove that American ideals such as liberty & self autonomy offer the individual the best means to affect positivly, the people as a whole.President Obamas' visit offers great promise for enlightenment of the male dominated African cultures still mired in the oppression of women, tribalism & slavery .

FEED OTHER COUNTRIES

I guess the USA had been always there for those who starved, and where did that take us to be blamed for everything. even now we have a president that take pride in blaming us for out faults whereever he goes. Question Is he an american?

Just hope he does not have to face the brutality of the world and have to act on it. .

Talking of feeding , we should send all those recent immigrant legals and illegals back to their country, since they seems to have better ideas than those that have fought so hard for this country let them put their ides to good use at home.

Surprise I am an immigrant that went to all what was asked by the INS to become one and now I am an American. I mean American where I came from for me does not exist when I decided to become an American it is because the US had done more for me than my country of origin. so those of you that called yourselves A American B.American are certainly not Americans so go home and see if you can put your stuprid ideas at work there

Africa can feed itsef: If peace is ensured.

Africa should not be expentant from the other side of the atlantic. First of all africa should learn how to live in peace and how to submit to rule of law as far as governance is concerned. Once peace and stability is in place africa can feed itself, even from the forest. But the tricky challenge we are facing in africa is peace, peace,peace just because of greedy leaders.

Obama on Africa!

I hate to disagree with you, Shawn Pelham, but understand your point of view. Nobody wants to suffer, or chooses to. I see you're really doing your best in helping those around you. but tell me, do you really wish the about a billion people, who hve suffered for centuries, continue to suffer? Nobody wants charity, people want independence and a level playing field. The USA might be going through some rough time now, but how about those who have been going through this same situation for donkey years? Where do they stand in the whole game. If there's any kind of hope that someone might make the situation better both for citizens of the USA and for the rest of the world, i think we should give it a shot.
