The exist many reasons why africans are poor. Knowledge is power and success is a treasure. Knowledge is the only true key to success.

There is a saying that “if you want to hide knowledge from an African man just write it in a document.” And I challenge you that some people will still read this headline and ignore just to prove the above-mentioned saying. But whatever be the case let us analyze the reasons why Africans are poor and look at the possible measure to make every reasonable African rich.

1. Most Africans are religious, but not spiritual.

I don’t know why I started here but let’s move on anyway. Religion is a significant part of Africans, but unfortunately, average Africans really don’t know how God works. Most Africans (blindly) believe that God can make them rich if they will pray enough. This is heresy and unbiblical and one of the major reasons why africans are poor. I love the way, a pastor puts it, “God doesn’t give us money. He gives us business ideas and strength to work it out.”God doesn’t give anybody money and praying for money is as good as praying for maize. Yes, God is the one who gives us maize to eat, but we are the ones to plant it. Though we may pray that it rains at the appropriate time, we have the responsibility to go into the bush and get dirty.Do you go to the mountain to pray for 21 days because you want God to give you maize? If no, you don’t have to go to the mountain to beg God to give you money. He is willing to give you money. He loves you and has already prepared all the money you need to live a good life, even before you were born.Read Matthew 6:8 and see what Jesus says there; your Father (God) already knows what you need, even before you ask.God loves you and he is willing to give you money, but you have to understand how money is being made. Just as there are principles of planting, growing and harvesting maize, there are principles of money making.I’ll explain further…

2. Another reason why africans are poor is because most Africans hate knowledge, including financial knowledge.

In the last point above, I made it known that farmers have to understand the principles of planting, growing and harvesting maize. How do they understand this? Well, not by praying or fasting but by learning.My grandfather was a farmer. He taught my father how to farm. My father taught all of us how to farm. Without the knowledge of how to plant maize, grow it, protect it from animals and insects and harvesting it, you can go and pray for 40 days, you cannot have a good maize farm.Money making has principles… which has to be learned like someone reading a book. These principles have long been discovered by rich men of old, starting from Abraham. These men (not Abraham now) have written so many books to reveal their secrets.Till today, the book is still the greatest revealer of secrets. But Africans will not read. If you want to hide something from an African, they say, keep it in a book.I have tears in my heart.I am crying and telling my fellow continent people, we cannot be richer than other people around us except we know what they don’t know.Maybe I should repeat that.You cannot be richer than people around you … until you know what they don`t know. Abraham was not rich because God gave him money. Open your Bible and read it. Father Abraham was rich because he knew what others didn’t know.While many people in his days were working as laborers (what you’ll call employees today), Abraham was a businessman with hundreds of staff (over 300 to be specific). Until we start learning, reading and upgrading our minds, Africa will forever be poor.

3. Most Africans still love jobs and this is one of the sensitive reasons why Africans are poor

When will Africans start to hate jobs? We have to start to hate jobs today! We have to start telling our young children from age 9 and above that job is not available again, and if it is available, it is no more good like the days of our fathers. We are very poor because we love jobs.

4. Most Africans are not business oriented.

There was a time I was reading about the youngest female millionaire, Elizabeth Holmes, who started her company at the age of 19 (just as Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder did) and she later dropped out of school when her business required that she did so. How did a 19-year-old lady get the courage to start a business?Because she (and millions of other young Americans) have been rightly oriented that job is a mess and that becoming a business owner is greatly rewarding. What do you think an average African 19-year-old guy and girl is doing?Watching football matches, following fashion trends or best, getting busy with school to earn a good certificate. Nobody is out there to tell our young adults that they are the hope of this continent, that they are the ones to create jobs for themselves and others, that they have to be entrepreneurs and not employees.How can we be rich as a continent when we are not creating businesses? If Africans try to get more business oriented, then it will eliminate some of those reasons why Africans are how.

5. Africans are poor because we run businesses like mere “buying and selling.”

While the majority of Africans don’t think about being business owners, those who think (or who condition forced to be business owners) are not running a business like a 21st-century business, instead, they are running a business like 15th century’s business. You know, in the 15th century, all you have to do is to figure out a product or service to sell. If you can smile a little people will love you and patronize your business.Now, however, business requires more strategies and innovations than ever before, just as the name of Seth Godin’s book sounds, Purple Cow. If it is not a purple cow (unique), nobody sees it or buys it. If you’re dull and your product/service is dumb, nobody notices you.Most Africans are dull and their businesses are dumb. More of the reasons (should you care to know) lie on what I discussed with you in the second point above… knowledge!

6. Africans are poor because the average African is irresponsible.

After all, I am your brother, so you won’t say I am abusing Africans. Most Africans are so much concerned about what they get, and not what they give. A few years ago, I heard a man of about age 30 complaining that his father didn’t give him money (or something like that).How dumb is that? Very dumb!!!
An average 16-year-old boy in many advanced countries of the world has been planning how he will get out of his father’s home and create his own life. Most 30 years old Africans still see themselves as infants, who need help. We love to receive a ready-made, stress-free success.Unfortunately, maize doesn’t come to life until a farmer gets dirty. Africans have to (urgently) wake up and be responsible.At around age 20, I started planning how I will be independent of my parents financially. I started thinking, how can I make my country a better place? How can I influence Africans for good?When I was 21 and six months old, it was time to forsake mediocre and get busy in the world. I announced to my parents and family that I am going into the business world and that I will never need to collect my certificate from the school. It wasn’t a smooth journey and I have not become a millionaire yet (as at the time of writing this) but, I was lucky to think different.

7. Africans are poor because we are still proud of school and certificate.

I can see a time coming when our so-called universities and polytechnics will all be destroyed and our youths will be taught to embrace education in its true sense, but for now, the situation is pathetic.I have said it before now, universities and polytechnics are not giving the kinds of education we need now and therefore should be killed. There will ever be poverty in Africa until people embrace education and not certificate. As for me, the library and Google are the best universities there are in the 21st century.Read. Read and read!!!.
You want to be rich and wealthy? Go and start reading books about business and wealth creation. Do you desire a better marriage? Visit bookshop and buy some good books about marriage. Do you desire to be more spiritual? Search google, download some great books written by the great Christians of old.Read and read, then you’ll know how to be rich, how to have a great marriage, how to be more spiritual and how to do just anything worthwhile.Does school teach you how to be rich? Does school teach you how to have a great marriage? Does school teach you how to be spiritual? Then, what does school teach us?Africans have to start loving education (not school) if we want to be rich.

Reasons Why Africans Are Poor: Defination of Poverty (Wikipedia)

Poverty is not having enough material possessions or income for a person’s needs. Poverty may include social, economic, and political elements.

Absolute poverty is the complete lack of the means necessary to meet basic personal needs, such as food, clothing and shelter. The threshold at which absolute poverty is defined is always about the same, independent of the person’s permanent location or era.

On the other hand, relative poverty occurs when a person cannot meet a minimum level of living standards, compared to others in the same time and placeWas this article useful? Kindly leave your comment
