This Is Africa.

Africa is both rich and poor.Does not it sound like an oxymoron?.Well, it is a combination of contradictory and incongruous analogies.

The dark continent has many bright resources in store.
Vandalism prevalent outshines the intelligence subservient.
Despondency dulls beauty.



It is rich in flora and fauna.
It is endowed with mineral wealth.
It has huge man power.
Human species originated from the continent.
It hosts the world's ancient and long lasting civilisation -the Egyptian
It saddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas, stretching from Northern temperate zone to south temperate zone.
It is surrounded by sea on all sides.
Advantage Africa.


It is poor in economy.
Slave trade has been practised in Arica throughot the recorded history.
The Arabs made money by indulging in this deal.
The European nations scrambled to colonise entire Africa , leaving ony two states free.
They made good of their occupation.
The natives were illiterate, boisterous and rough. .
The climate and the dense forest attracted disease.
Ethnic conflicts are rampant.
Murder, theft, and agitation are part of African life
The uncanny violence, the epidemic spread of disease mars the economic growth.
Poverty is significantly present ,assuring a drawback in progression.
Malnutrition is the cause for most deaths.
Health care is neglected.
Disadvantage Africa.

When one thinks of Africa, it is the picture of a malnourished child,,with protruding bones, wrinkled skin.unkempt hair,, eyes sunk, barely clad, putting out an empty bowl,comes to our mind.This specific haunting illustration if depicted on a backdrop of the beautiful images of the Sun city,would certainly elucidate the incongurity of Africa.

The thrill of African Safari, the ravaging beauty of the Sun city, the dazzling diamonds of South Africa and the incredible Egyptian civilisation sink into oblivion.
.
What a paradigm shift?
