When we take a look at how wealthy African leaders are, and the gap of their richness compared to the richness of people they govern is wanting. These leaders are not development oriented, they rig themselves into power and use their ill-gotten power and wealth to control every sector that generate more money into economy like energy sector.
Failure by African leader to fight corruption drag countries down in terms of economy and only allows few individuals that are allied to the government to own as much wealth more than what people in the middle and lower class have combined.
When we look at the cost of energy that is electricity and fuel, poor families are the worst hit statistics say more than 500 million people do not have access to electricity and few people who do have connection to power still pay more since electricity tokens shoot almost every six months.
African People make Africa run but the leadership and kinds of leaders they have make it difficult even for young energetic entrepreneurs to thrive in this kind of environment. As days and years move, life will become harder day by day if this continues and the only hope for Africa is to dig deeper and tap into their natural resources.
