WHY A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT and TRADE ARE IMPORTANT FOR AFRICA

Many African people die of starvation and malnourishment due to inadequate food supplies caused by inadequate amount of food imbibed. This is bad because there is great important in the amount of food that the body takes, because as with a car requires fuel to work; the body requires food in order for it to be in tip top condition. Also the body requires the right amount of water and the right type of water that is water that is pure and clean. Moreover, the soil that we grow our food in should be soil that is rich in the natural nutrients that the body needs.

Now here in Africa, we have enough resources of food, water, and soil but we are currently not using these resources well. The main thing is that the distribution of resources is uneven. There are some regions that have oil such as Nigeria in West Africa, and Libya in North Africa; while, other regions have rich top soil such as the highlands of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. And countries such as South Africa are rich in minerals such as gold. Now, if there was enough trade between African countries, people who have many mineral deposits would trade with people that have a lot of food, and every body would be happy. But this does not happen, why? It does not happen because there are too many barriers to trade in the current set up in Africa. There are language barriers, there is an infrastructure drought, there are psychological barriers, et cetera.

Moreover, there are other inefficiencies that occur as far as the use of natural resources in Africa. The natural resources that we have though some are of the highest quality, they are handled without any care such that we end up with immediate resources of low quality. For example, the resources such as the rich top soil go on being eroded and people do not care for them and then in the end the food that we grow does not have enough nutrients to make sure that which we put in our body is of top notch quality. Moreover, in the periods of affluence people end up wasting what they have instead of saving it for future use. And that is why we do not have a balance of resources. If we were to take care of the resources that we have well enough then everything will be good.

One thing that I want to address here is the myth that Africa is overpopulated. I believe that the world is able to feed and clothe everybody that is in it. If we were all concerned about each other and if we all took care of each other then there would be enough for everybody. Those who have should give those who have not. It is a matter of exchange. Sometimes too much affluence makes one drown in affluence and one forgets to the most important things in life. While one needs to be affluent in order to enjoy life, affluence does not automatically mean happiness. God created us to enjoy life, and the root of it all is that as long as we speak to God and allow God’s hand to lead us everything will be ok. God is our creator and He created us so that we can enjoy our existence for eternity. I mean why you would not want to be with your soul mate for eternity. Why would one not want to make love to ones soul mate for eternity? Why would one not want to be close to the family that one loves for eternity? Why would one not want to be with the people that one associates with for eternity? Why would one not want to read the book that one loves for eternity? Bad things happen when one does not do things according to God’s plan.

Africa has suffered for a long time because the people who are in it are not conversing with God and are not doing things according to God’s plan. People are saying that the world’s resources are depleting because people are not doing things according to God’s plan. But the people who are chosen by God and the people who do what they do according to God’s plan will be saved and enjoy life for eternity. Now it is time for Africa to come out of its curse and for her people to start doing things according to God’s plan. God did not create us to be alone, and God does not want us to be alone, otherwise the internet would not have been created. We should just make sure that we use the things that God has created to exalt God. For example, instead of using the internet for porn, we should use it to educate. The internet is a good resource and it should be used for something that will aid in exalting God’s kingdom instead of exalting the devils kingdom. So,, Africans should wake up and start talking to God their creator and they should stop exalting their own Kingdoms, or the Kingdoms of dark forces.

WHY ISN’T AFRICA DEVELOPED

Since I am planning to start a blog discussing African issues, spanning development, economics, society et cetera. This is my first post that will discuss start topics on Africa. So, why is Africa not developed as Europe and America.

 The history books tell us that Africans were well developed before the Europeans reached the continent for many centuries. It is written almost all Africans had ceased to gather or hunt their food. “In the period that in European History is called the Middle Ages, Africa had already developed states so large they were called empires” At first there was no gap between Europe and Africa. But what happened? Europe went into the scientific and Indsutrial Evolution while Africa lagged behind. Then it was not possible for Africans to get the knowledge because Europeans did not transfer the knowledge to Africans, but saw Africans as inferior and instead used them for slave labor.

 So, why is Africa still lagging behind even after routes of trade and communications have been established with the developed world. I believe that the problems with Africans is mostly psychological. Colonization of the African peoples made them think that they were inferior, but not at all since they were created from God, so it means that God gave them similar capabilities as He gave other peoples. Africans just realized that colonization of the mind is the most detrimental factor, and instead of also fearing each other and creating tribal fiefdoms they should instead take up the yoke and push the cart in order to become developed.

Now it is up to the young people of Africa and those in the know how to stop wasting their time on things that are not productive, but to put their time into things that are productive. As I said before love is the most creative force on earth, and it then means that there is not enough love in Africa. If people are continuing fighting and killing each other then it means that it is the responsibility of the ones who have love to spread it around so that people can stop dying and that they can start living.

However, we should know that love does not kill but creates, love does  not destroy but enhances. So, these rapings and killings that sometimes happen, happen because of hate and not love, and therefore, it is the responsibility of the lovers to spread it so that we can stop losing creative people to death. We can stop losing people who will develop Africa.
