Namibia Get Help From Germany



Africa has been described as a wealthy continent with many living in adject poverty and sickness. It is no doubt that Namibia is one of the wealthiest countries in Africa, but still around half population lives below poverty line.

Namibia GDP per capita is 8,200 dollar- The economy is mainly minerals, and Namibia is one of the richest places in Africa for strategic minerals. Namibia is one of the highest producers of diamonds in the world.

In the year 1884, Namibia was a German colony, as the Germans took over the South-West Africa
during the colonial era. The country got her independence on 21 March 1990, but it organs do not function as an independent nation as many of her citizens are begging for international aid.

Germans has been supporting the country since its independence, there is a new government negotiations between Namibia and Germany, the German Government through its implementing agency Deutsche Gesellschaft Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH... This is will commence in 2017.

However, they are other organisations (NGOs) in Germany that have been supporting poor children in Namibia, one of such organisation (Buschmänner e.V) founded by Carlo 'von' Opel who along side with his team has been doing an amazingly good job in supporting the children in the undeveloped area in Namibia. Such as; donating bus, toys, teaching the kids farming system, and providing
musical instruments for talented young artist on the street, with the help of Jack Francis, the children
are learning how to play various musical instrument during church service and other event.

 I was overwhelmed with work Carlo and his team are doing in Namibia: Is it surprising that in such a world full of greedy leaders or governance who are only thinking highly of themselve, we still have people like Carlo who sacrifice his 75 birthday ceremony on 16th May, 2016 to meet the need of the street children in Namibia.

In a world that was empty, God created the earth: The earth provides everything every man's needs to survive no matter where we are born but the greed of corrupt leaders in Africa has brought shame on us  Or Isn't A Shame- that there are no any countries in Africa continent that is developed. Tell me how is it that the country, that is one the world highest quality producers of diamonds and its citizens are still living below poverty line.

Africa does not really need foreign aid, but Africa need leaders with selfless love and total commitment.

Africa, especially Nigeria is blessed. There is no state in Nigeria that do not has her own natural resources. all the 774 local governments areas in Nigeria has what can make them live comfortably, but for more management and paralytic government policies. Our soil is fertile to the extent that some just were swept by the wind into my roof and few days later I saw plants growing on the roof. We have plenty of sun, rain, water, wind, coal, gas, petroleum, columbite, gold, iron, rocks, palm oil, cassava, cocoa etc but we are a hungry nature... What an irony.

I love this commentary Queen. It is only corruption that is keeping Africa poor. How to stop it? That is he question and only
Christianity and godly ethics will make a change.
