Africa is today missing in the technology radar of the world, but very visible in the corruption index. This represents a clear road map to perpetual underdevelopment, subjugation, and perdition.
While no country or continent has ever developed without recreating industrial revolution in its own way, African countries, by omission or commission are attempting to develop by embracing corruption and ignoring the revolutionary powers of science and technology. Africa cannot develop without their own well developed science and technology, and cannot develop with the level of corruption in the continent as we know it today.
While western nations continue to advise African leaders to stop stealing the AID they send to them, they have never and will never advise them to embrace technology in order to create their own wealth.
The author has done a great deal of work exposing the ills of African leaders and their western collaborators which brought Africa to her pitiable state of underdevelopment. Until corruption is greatly minimised in the continent and science and technology embraced; Africa will never achieve sustainable development.
No one can do it for Africa except Africans themselves.
Over de auteur
Austin Aneke is the current Director/Editor of UK Immigrant Magazine (www.immigrantmagazine.co.uk), and had previously worked as Comptroller in a West African Population Agency. Mr Aneke, studied Sociology at the University of Port-Harcourt in Nigeria. He also studied Criminology at Masters level, at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria. He then proceeded to London where he studied Law at London Metropolitan University. He currently lives in London with his wife and three children.
Mr Aneke’s academic and work experiences in both developing and developed countries have put him in a good stead to critically analyse issues of Africa development. This is exactly what he has done in this book. Mr Aneke, just like many, is inclined to believe that Africa is rich in natural resources and that the people of Africa are not fundamentally underdeveloped. However he believes that the right home grown instruments of labour in form of relevant technologies have not been developed in Africa, by Africans. He argues that Africa cannot develop without doing this.
He also believes that the continent will never develop if the the meagre wealth created for Africa by foreign technologies, and AID, continue to be stolen by African leaders with the active collaboration of western powers.
In the context of the above, Mr Aneke therefore considers technology as the missing link of Africa development, and corruption as the morbid (deceased) link of the continent’s efforts.
