By Africa’s Problem Are Man Made Not God – OBJ
Nigeria Former President Olusegun Obasanjo said poverty challenges inherent in Africa are man-made and not from God, noting that the continent has all that it takes to create wealth.
The former President, Obasanjo, who spoke at the opening ceremony of the FESTAC Africa Festival at the Jomo Kenyatta Stadium in Kisumu, Kenya on Monday, said there will be trouble should African leaders fail to address the widening poverty levels.
Obasanjo said, “Africa has no reason to be poor. Our poverty is not an act of God. We are steeped in poverty due to our poor mentality. We need to wake up because we have a wealth of resources.
He further stated: “If you look back in history, you will see that whenever others needed to get work done, they came to Africa to transport black people to the so-called New World to make others rich. And that hasn’t stopped.
