Africa! Africa is said to be the poorest continent on planet earth. Though with aids from international bodies Africans still live in abject poverty, in the midst of their abundant natural resources, Africans are still the "head of poor countries"- what could be the cause to the African poverty?

In Africa there are 54 countries with a population of 1.216 which is 16.64% of the world's population. Africa has been blessed with fertile earth, gold, ivory, wildlife, oil amongst the rest. We should ask does Africa extract it natural gifts?
Yes! They do. They extract them! The question really is do Africans actually use their extracted gift? No! Maybe the finished products. No doubt not every country is going to produce but Africa has the ability to produce, it has the raw materials, it has the man power - so what really has been the problem in our continent?
