Why Africa Remains Poor: The Harsh Reality and the Way Forward

Image
  Poverty in Africa is one of the most discussed topics around the globe. From the dusty rural villages to bustling cities, poverty continues to eat away at the dreams of millions of Africans, slow but sure. But why, despite Africa’s rich resources, culture, and creativity, are so many people still trapped in poverty? 1. Historical Burdens That Still Linger Colonialism stripped Africa of its wealth and left nations divided along artificial borders. Resources were extracted, people were exploited, and after independence, many countries inherited weak institutions and fragile economies. This historical weight still affects African development today. 2. Leadership and Governance Challenges While Africa has had great leaders, corruption and poor governance remain a major challenge. Mismanagement of public funds, lack of accountability, and policies that prioritize personal gain over public service have slowed development. Without strong leadership, even abundant re...

Mindset Over Money; Winning in Life Before You Touch a Million

Image
  You don’t need a million to be a winner. You need a winning mind. Here’s how to build the inner life that creates money — not the other way round. Win in your mind first, then watch your business, family, and life follow.  Glow With Yiga Why Mindset Matters More Than Money People chase money thinking it will solve everything. But I’ve learned something simple and true: money follows the way you think, not the other way around. You can have a little cash and a giant mindset  and that will grow into something real. Or you can have big money and a small mind, and that money will disappear faster than rain on a hot tin roof. Your mindset decides how you spend, save, take risks, handle failure, and treat others. It decides whether you keep learning or sit comfortable and shrink. What a Winning Mindset Looks Like Consistency over excitement: Winners show up daily, even when the ...
