A few days ago, I was talking with someone, and he was telling me about the state of the nation in Nigeria. He said a lot of people have lost trust and hope in the country, and everyone is just trying to survive and make ends meet. I couldn’t agree more. The gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider every day, and it seems like the problem isn't going away anytime soon.
More and more people are drowning in poverty, while the elites and politicians ignore the cries of the poor.
But here’s what I want to say—if we ever dream of having a good future for our continent, we must invest in our people. Many wealthy individuals focus only on acquiring properties, both at home and abroad, while neglecting the people. But how can our nations develop without investing in the people? That should be our number one priority!
If our continent is drowning in poverty, with so many people facing various challenges, then we must first find a way to solve these problems—not just buy more properties. I understand that everyone wants to take care of their families and build wealth for future generations.
But how can you build wealth for the next generation when the current one is suffering? It doesn’t work that way. We need to invest in the people we see today—not just the unborn generations—because it is those we empower now who will shape the future we desire.
We have many youths who are unemployed and roaming the streets. Why can’t we help them, one by one? Why can’t we start with the little things we can do? I say this must be our priority. It must be our number one focus.
We have many problems—so, which one will you choose to solve? Do you want to start an educational program? Or maybe a food program? Which area do you want to focus on? There are so many areas: physical, mental, emotional, psychological, social, academic, health, spiritual—you name it.
Our people are going through so much. Instead of thinking only about yourself and your family, think about others. Before you buy properties or hire security guards to protect your home, invest in people.
I know to some, this may sound like a messiah mentality, but I truly believe this is what we must do if we want to build a better future for ourselves. The best and greatest investment we can make on our continent is in people. That is the only secure investment that will yield the greatest return.
I love what I saw in El Salvador. I’ve shared that example before on my blog. A nation that transformed from one of the most dangerous places on earth to one of the safest countries in the world—brilliant! And the simple secret? Investment in people.

A few individuals believed they could turn things around and make their nation the best on earth. And today, El Salvador is thriving economically and in many other areas. This is what we can do on our continent too.
We see so many of our people dying every day—what can we do to help? No help is too small. You can do something now. Even helping just one person matters. If each of us did that, it would go a long way. One by one, we’ll keep growing, expanding, and making an impact. We can’t leave the burden on the government alone. In fact, we are all part of the government. The direction we want society to go—that’s the direction it will take.
Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t make other investments. I’m saying our people should be our priority. That is our greatest and most important investment.
Look for someone to train. Look for someone to help. Don’t focus only on yourself. Volunteer and support others. This is how we serve our continent—and people will appreciate you for it.
If you can share valuable information to help someone, do it. If your support can come in other forms, go ahead and give it. Nothing is too small or too big. Every help, every bit of support, every act of assistance is needed at this point on our continent.
Here’s another important point—we must think long-term. It’s not just about solving temporary problems, but about offering permanent solutions. And yes, it all starts with one step. So, let’s start with just one thing.
I call on our fellow Africans in the diaspora to continue investing in our continent. I know many of us are already doing a lot—let’s create more awareness among ourselves. Let’s keep investing in our people. Let’s educate and enlighten more. Let’s keep offering help and assistance, and I believe our continent will do great things. Together, we will continue to move Africa forward.
God bless you.
