It is apparent that African has consistently maintained the back sit in the comity of nations all through the ages, especially in this era of technology. If you still doubt this: check out yourself the following global ratings and indices on the matrix for measuring what life worth in various regions of the world.
Africa is coming first from behind on all areas such as:
Food
Housing
Education; example is the picture herein showing education in parts of the Africa at this era
Health
Technology
Road
Life expectancy
Governance
Also Africa is coming first from top on these sordid areas:
Corruption
Religion
Abuse
I sincerely call on global community for workable solutions to move Africa out of darkness that has permeated into every facets of its continental life.
