Food for a genuine pro-poor thought (9)
--------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues

It  is true, diseases are among the bitter roots of poverty. Africa is held  between the  hammer and anvil such that, a breakthrough must be found otherwise  it will remain in the poverty vicious cycle. This is the challenge to learned Africans to forster technological development which is an impeccable solution in the long run.

The  examples  of  Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, China etc, they endured alot in creating a science and technological platform to forster socio and  economic  development.  To me it is better for us to follow their foot prints, borrowing is just a short term solution. Education system should prepare  young  generation  for  scientific  and technological breakthroughs in agriculture, health, industry etc.
