African leaders must Wake-up and do better 📢⚖️
2023
AFRICA’S LEADERSHIP CRISISA Nigerian radio host asked a Dubai tour guide what the key to his city’s prosperity and success was. He was told that what differentiates a country like UAE from a resource-rich country like Nigeria - is having the right, non-corrupt leaders. Ouch. But what he forgot to mention is that the UAE’s economy depends on what is tantamount to a slave economy - a huge, low-wage workforce of migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Many are tricked, trafficked, and mistreated - kept in cramped, unsanitary camps and made to work long hours in dangerous conditions. And once the UAE’s done with them, they’re often simply arrested and deported. If the price of African progress is the exploitation of other peoples, then we say, resolutely, ‘no thank you!’#Dubai #UAE #Asia #Africa #MiddleEast #Nigeria #Agriculture #Oil #corruption
