Corruptions in developing nations, are one of the worst things that hinder the developments of those nations, and the income of people who live there. People who have money, bribe others to get positions in institutions that they think can bring good income to them. However, when they successful bribed and get a 'good' job, they in turn fall into a corruption cycle, and seriously play as big barrier for general developments of their communities, their nations.
In my country, you can get 'life insurance' if you become government employees or register on some insurance platform. The bad news is unless you're extremely smart your chance to become one is small because corruption is happening here and there (though it is decreased by now). I personally don't want to become one, though my life might be insecure, that's the risk because I love doing what I love and be free from unnecessary rules.
It is why we have to choose between options, and choose the best ones (in our perspective at different period in our lives), and make important decisions for our future. Accept risks, take risks, and build up our future from risk-taking decisions. I never regret with my important decisions, even when I failed.
That's life, anything comes with risk.
You just said it all mate, knowing anybody at the top guarantee any individual either educated or not to stay at the top, undermining the effect it bring to the country economy. If you live in Africa or live in my country, you will understand the true meaning of modern slavery, some certain part of the country have enslave others just for their selfish interest to the detriment of the country. Have applied in so many jobs after graduation but find it very tough|difficult to secure one but someone some were will just make a call and be employ without interview be conducted
Corruption in Africa is second to non, but we all will use these technology to fight against them at the end, that's why we are all here. They are little in terms of technology which is the opportunity of the youths to fight against their corrupt mindset. In politics, one political party will like to take Federal and State level in order to control the masses and their resources for their selfish interest and that of their family members. Have been with some top politicians in my country but non couldn't help me when i needed them after graduation, here i am today and not regretting my past, looking forward to the future where technology will control the developing country like mine and my continent.
Have taken the risk to learn this trending technology which i believe will be my future.
