Africa has no reason to be hungry. All we need to do is to do the right thing. All these things are being affected by corruption because people no longer find value in hardwork, in productivity, entrepreneurship. You started your own business. You are working hard to earn your own living. Today, people with no daytime jobs live better than you live. People with no office live like stars. It is a crisis.
