Why African Presidents Such as George Weah, Could Become Corrupt Inspite of Having Good Ideas.
Sometime Presidents such as George Weah come with good ideas for their country. Ideas that actually go for Democratic purpose. What happens unfortunately is that the presidents such as George Weah are influenced negatively by people around them. This people whisper to them.
Saying, “when are you going to get this opportunity again. You have such a great opportunity. A blessing from Heaven to enrich yourself and your family. Why do you want to release power. don’t be stupid. ”
Those who make such whispers the the president such as George Weah could be people of his family, some of his best friends and other of greedy interest. Unfortunately, this is the major reason why the African population suffer in the the hands of power hungry group of people.
George Weah. Who is George Weah.
Who is George Weah. For some of us who are not very much involved with soccer. George Weah is a former professional soccer player. He played as a striker in his prolific 18 years career. He played in Europe. He was one of the best player of his time. After a successful carreer in football, he decided to go back to politics to help his country move forward. In the case of George Weah, he had money already on his way into politics. When people from poor background, become president in Africa, they tend to become evil spending years a president doing nothing.
When Africans Criticize Government
You know in Africa generally you only criticize governments when they’re not part of your family as soon as your family is part of the Presidential Court then you don’t criticize anymore and you hate everybody that talks the truth. Any body saying the truth by pointing fingers at the negative things that they all are doing and that is very sad and Africa can never progress or develop or be Democratic.
If we are our own oppressors, you know you can’t just blame Europeans for colonialism and slavery.
It is just crazy you’ll see a country like DRC for some of you who do not know, these people clap hands for government official that become rich. They say congratulations, it’s your turn to be wealthy. I never understood these people. This is crazy. How do you clap hands for politician that are stealing. I mean the man was clearly poor before he became a politician. Okay two months down the line, he’s got multiple buildings. He’s got shops and businesses. He married four wives and you are clapping for him.
How can normal human being clap for somebody that’s stealing from them. You know what the response is. The answer is very simple. It’s because everybody that’s clapping for that person is expecting and hope that one day it’s going to be his/her opportunity.
George Weah is an example to follow for all african politicians
