The Imbalance Reports On Africa By Major Media Firms In Europe

I have a great passion for the continent of Africa to grow and become the envy of all. We all know that there are challenges like bad leadership and all sort but the focus of only strife, war and poverty by media firms in Europe makes me fractious.

Going through the website of one of major media firms in Europe, I found out that the only time I see them put any news about Africa on the first page or as breaking news on their website is only when bad event occurs in any of the African countries. Many of these foreign correspondents covering news about Africa have little knowledge of the culture, tradition or even language that makes the continent dynamic, they and their superiors already have a stereotype image about Africa and also I particularly believe their superiors will tell them ''Bring negative news because that's what people want to read about them''.

Events like poverty , the problem in Somalia, the shooting of mine workers in South Africa, the bomb blast in Nigeria, the problem in Ivory Coast and lots more.

The question that comes to mind: Is it that there is nothing good coming out of the continent outside poverty, war and corruption to be reported?. Now I am of the opinion that their focus is on strife and not the rebirth of its cities.

Africa And The Opportunities

Previous post on my views on Africa received many commendation from readers of this blog. This gives me the zeal to shine more lights on this emerging market in a challenging world.

''I don't think Africa will ever come out of the dungeon till will build the generation of Africa entrepreneurs that will define the jobs, create income, create revenue and build people  and sustaining business that will pay the taxes to grow Africa''. Particularly impressed with these words of Kola Karim and I think it's worth sharing the video.

All have been said about the challenges and problems this continent face but no matter all that we said we can only move the continent forward through zeal, and entrepreneurship that will build the people. The key factors for the developed economies are Infrastructures, financial system and consumer goods.

The drivers of these advanced economies will also be the key drivers of Africa that we all want. The limiting factor in the growth of Africa is the aforementioned drivers also here lies the opportunities for entrepreneurship.

The reality is that Africa is the future of opportunities and the time is now.
