WHAT DOES AFRICA LACK?

WHAT DOES AFRICA LACK?
Every time you walk in any Africa country,you can't miss the action of protest or riots,whether it's the university students,workers,religious groups or even politicians asking for something or campaigning against.
what's education to Africans? I wonder,living in Kenya and witnessing cases of learned people being recruited to join militias in search for easy money under the excuse of unemployment,it worries a lot and the basic question is what skills and morals are being fused with the learning in all institutions.

Plato a man I admire for his vast resource of knowledge  once quoted:

"By education I mean that training in excellence from youth upward which makes a man passionately desire to be a perfect citizen, and teaches him to rule,and to obey,with justice.This is the only education which deserves a name"

 So the next time one is quoted as educated and is doing evil, he still remains uneducated;a fool.The minute we as Africans realise that education is the first minute we need to heal that's when we shall make progress and avoid being dictated by other countries and instead make a living on our own.

What does Victor Hugo take on education?

and not only a prison but also slavery and any other bondage. That's the power of education that which poor Africans will follow and make their children understand, but there's a group betraying us calling themselves "rich". Talents to their children means more,than staying in class and get enlightened.This is a great reason as to why most of African actors,actresses,musicians,and other celebrities after retirement bury themselves in a life of misery and poverty because education gives a person an open mind on financial and property freedom as Mr Carter said.

George Washington Carter an African America said:

The late Nelson Mandela knew this much more than anyone, he understood that, for South Africa to progress he had to put terms into writing with the British who are learned and more skilled.For him to reach an agreement with them he had to study and be on a similar platform with them.South Africa is a country that achieved it's independence among the last nations in Africa but it has made a great stride in economic and infrastructural developments and stands as the most developed state in African even more than countries that were never colonized.
Education has been the root of great achievers, great successful people and Oprah Winfrey one of the most successful African Americans in the world trusted a lot in education:to her education was a refuge from her problems and later on it became her strength to mingle with the most powerful and influential people on earth,she owns her own television network worth millions of dollars.Education gives us a basic thinking room,where we don't see ourselves depending on our parents success but formulating the blueprints that we shall build our landmarks and position them on the world map.

We can make a good world but only if we realise that education is supposed to make us think and open our minds to see new things,new ways of tackling our problems in Africa.

 I don't mean to diminish anyone's respect but can our uneducated leaders go back to school and learn. We must accept that most of our leaders are incapable of leading but they are good in politics and that is unquestionable, but for the whole of Africa to make stride like South Africa, our leaders in no doubt need education:to make our living in Africa worthy.
