Bill Gates and other do gooders will not help Africa.

When will we rise up a people and solve our own problems. One thing should be very clear. No one will solve our problems except ourselves.

No matter how good hearted the outsiders seem to be helping us, they have their own interests. Take Bill Gates for example, one of the richest men in the world. Through his foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, he has poured billions of dollars on Africa. But do you think he does this out of sheer Goodwill? No, he also stands to benefit. For example, one of his pet projects is vaccines. Yet he also a stakeholder in those vaccines. He makes billions from those vaccines. Even then, the vaccines have serious side effects and many African children have died from those vaccines.

Take another area which the Western world believes it is helping us. Provision of aid. Since the 1960s, over a trillion dollars has been poured on Africa, with nothing to show for it. This aid money fuels corruption, and only a few connected African leaders benefit. What's more it's the Western companies, and now increasingly the Chinese, that get the contracts to supply the labour and materials that the aid money will be used for. Our people are denied jobs, and all the jobs flow back to the same aid givers. 

It is time we stood up for ourselves. Africa has plenty. If we weed out corruption and greed, there will be plenty for us. Nobel Peace Laureate Wangari Maathai said that there is plenty for us to share, but not enough for our greediness. Read More Articles. Click Here
