Oh wow! Did you mean that for real? That 80% of Africans hardly afford 2 meals a day?

Is it really that bad in Africa? I bet Africans still must be savages, living in house made of mold and don’t know what a sky scrapper is you know, don’t have access to some of the best of technologies and still rides horses!

We say these things and when it’s Africa, it seems true, easy to accept but, mind knowing the land, the people and appreciate its culture.

Africans still get to live rich lives!

When it comes to raising a child, it’s no easy mile and you don’t get to relax it on finances alone. Yes, finance plays a huge role to this but, you get to teach morals and character too. I don’t advocate having way too many children if you haven’t gotten a stable source of income. You need it, you don’t get to put them kids through the harsh realities of your youths, you owe it to them to make it better. Many parents sacrifice their happiness for their kids as it should be but, it wouldn’t be so hard or get to that should you make proper planning and investments when you are a youth.

Yes some countries especially Nigeria is still living in the 15th centuries in terms of development but there leaders go about fabricating fack stories about the level of development in the country just to convince the world that they are working in the country, all are fallacies just to justify there level of corrupt activities when the country have been heavily blessed by god in mineral resources of all kind. The leaders all believe in self wealth, embezzlement of public funds and never consider there subjects wellbeing at any time, if i may ask why do there leaders prefer going for medical treatment outside the country when they have hospitals.
Not that there are no rich people over there but when above 60 percent of citizens are living below average life it means the citizens are suffering and affording some good schools become an issue.

It’s really not as black and white as many people outside the continent imagine africa is not a single story of poverty or savagery there are big modern cities with skyscrapers highways tech hubs and wealthy people alongside villages where life is still very tough it’s a land of contrast where some nations are developing fast while others are struggling with corruption bad leadership and lack of infrastructure so when people generalize africa as backward it ignores the reality that it is both rich in culture and resources but also facing deep social and economic challenges.

Raising children in such environments becomes even harder because parents have to balance financial strain with teaching values and morals many sacrifice everything to give their kids a chance at a better life but it’s also true that poor planning and having more children than one can support makes the struggle heavier leadership failures worsen the situation because resources that should be used for schools hospitals and jobs often end up in the pockets of a few until corruption is reduced and opportunities are spread fairly many ordinary africans will keep fighting to survive on little even though the land itself is rich enough to sustain much more.
