Africa is a country that is extremely rich in diamonds, but the people there do not profit from the wealth that is mined in their own country. Why is that?

The news that happens in Naija is available for anyone in the world to read, but it doesn’t seem to be viewed as a place where others care to try and make a difference.

Yes, there are times when we are at a loss of what to do next, but in time the situation eventually passes and you gain some type of reprieve until the next dilemma hits you.
