Oh my Africa... Where are you heading?






By Ando Ogar


Wealthy yet poor, Africa.
Wealthy in all forms of natural resources, yet harbour the poorest people. You are not only rich in gold and diamonds, but rich in natural resources.

No other nation can boast of what you have. One third of the worlds bauxite reserve used in making aluminium ,you have. 32 trillion tons of natural gas burning away is in your land. A continent where titanium, lithium, platinum uranium Cooper,tons of lead, zinc deposit, granite marble,Lime stone, bitumen and other is found,yet people are dying of poverty.

Marvel studio," Black Panther " recognized you as very rich in natural resources even in fiction, still  poverty is ravishing your children.

O my Africa, where are you headed? Any hope for your children?  Any hope for the wealthy continent? Where is the hope of Africa, the hope of Nigeria your Giant?
You produce what you do not use, and use what you don't produce,
My Africa! My Africa! Where do we go from here? The wealthiest continent occupied by the poorest people.

So wealthy yet classified as a third world country,my Africa when will you rise again?


Ando Uche Ogar is a poetess
