Africa's Agony (A plan for action)

Africa is where civilization started, according to Holy Book of God, there was a time when all nations of the world imported goods from africa.They solely depended on Africa to survive.but now the reverse is the case.(there was even a time when naira was valueable than american dollar)
Different poeple have blame the Africa"s situation on the following..intervention of foreign governments ,Africa"s indigenous corruption and materialism or Africa"s own indigenous
cultures.But the fact is that all these factors and more have contributed to the agony of Africa"s position as the poorest continent in the world.Anyone who has been to sub-saharan Africa has seen the problem: a tiny minority,living in fabulous luxury, a small and largely struggling middle class, and a sea of squalor, suffering and poverty, in which the vast majority of Africans are mired. its not for a lack of talent, ambition or intelligence. Africa has become a source for highly intelligent, carefully trained professionals of a wide variety of skills, who practice their professions all over the world, particularly in the industrial nations of the West and the rapidly industrializing nations of South Asia. It isn"t a lack of resources, either. Everyone who has traveled in Africa has seen the vast variety resources, agricultural, forest, mineral, human and of other kinds, which Africa has in some of the greatest abundance in the world.
Why, then, has Africa come to this terrible state?
What is the problem?could this be a cause?..how do we tackle this problem?this is our problem it is only when we realize this that we can device means to solve them..
You can agree with me that we(nigeria to be precise) are better of 10 yrs ago in terms of infrastructure than today...cuz we lack mainteinance culture ....now check out our national stadium in lagos now and compare it to 1997 are they the same and which one is better?
