If you made that statement about politicians being the most richest people you may not be wrong and that is because of corruption is high and no accountability. The legal system too that is suppose stand in to protect or prosecute offenders are not doing this job, this may also not be surprising because the legal system is part of the whole part of the system. Everything that is done in most African countries are based on corruption.
Election is all based on corruption. To even acquire or indicate interest in contesting for political office is whole lot of money and IMO, this is where I think African countries are getting it wrong. The politicians see politics as a means of business and because of the "investment" , they would corrupt the system a lot to get richer than they were when contesting the election. This is not fair and most people see politics as a business on its own instead of trying to build factories for manufacturing that will benefit larger people and add to the country's GDP. Politics don't produce any product to the economy but self satisfaction and embezzlement.

Forget Dangote and the rest of the billionaires, the richest people in Africa are politicians. Africans need to reevaluate and rethink their system, so much power is given to the politicians and without any checks or balances. How can an ex-governor not be tried in court for his mischievous activities because there is a written document that said so who signed the documents is it the populace? They loot millions of dollars and stack them up for their families whereas the masses are suffering.
They even go as far as banning the trading of cryptocurrencies because they feel people might benefit from it. When the world is enjoying it. African needs to be taken to the hospital and given proper treatment because they are moving backward. More strength to their youth as many are still thriving in the harsh environment.

If the richest people in a country are politicians than something is wrong. That is the first sign that there is a huge problem with corruption. Sure politicians should be paid well, but never more than other people in the country. If they are able to withdraw wealth from the country into their own pockets than something needs to change. Step one would be to make international pressure against these politicians, like don't allow their money to be stored in Switzerland or some other tax havens. Step two would be to inform the local population about the corruption so they will demand a change in the ruling party.
One of the biggest problem of the African people is that they have one of the most bad government and anyone's can say it directly as they are seeing it into the economy of the Africa, another thing is also that the voters are the first one who have the main problem here because they are the one who are choosing or picking on who they wants to lead them. If they are just choosing and picking wisely the ones that they want to be the leader then probably this will not be happen.
From what I have seen, the problem lies with the African voters. They always elect politicians based on their ethnicity and religion, without caring about their skills. As a result, a lot of undeserving people become the presidents. And when someone who is highly qualified is elected to that post, within a short time he is either ousted in a military coup, or killed by his own people. Check what happened to Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba and Haile Selassie.
I agree, if the people are continuously oppressed by the rich people, then I think that a revolt that will lynch those in higher seats is a necessary thing. The only problem is that they have to make the police and the military side to them in the revolt against the 1% because if not, unnecessary bloodshed is going to happen.

If politicians are the only people rich in your country then why people still elect them? On next election people should erase them on their balots and find those politician who have political will to make your country better. Its no use at all if citizens will continue to trust them since your country cannot advance if corrupt officials are still on tgeir sets.
