The African worry is full of sorrow, losses and pain accrued since the colonial era which today has inflicted much agony and psychological trauma in the minds of its leaders and its common citizens. Because life in Africa is consumed in an atmosphere of fear and insecurity, its people's desperation has thus been transformed towards political and economic crime for individual security and egoistic prosperity. This however does not reflect the culture of family that governs the African people as their strong holds and values for peace and development. Where has such African community spirit values evaporated to? Can we get them back?Within this brief literary piece Dr. Kelly NGYAH and CEO of Modern Advocacy Humanitarian Social and Rehabilitation Association (MAHSRA) consecrates much effort in attempts to reexamine the suppression and oppression of the imperial colonial administration upon their conquered indigenous territories during the colonial period and how their rule had affected the political direction of the indigenous elite in the advent of independence. Because the indigenous political citizenry were deemed inapt or unprepared to manage the complex western political philosophies adopted during their colonial days during at post-independence, he also examines the post-colonial governance impasses and heavy failures that were attributed to the indigenous elites' conundrum face-to-face nationalism and the true politically independent nation-state management. As well, towards regaining Africa's hope on its development pace, a remark is made on the regional organizations and financial institutions that have committed themselves in redressing the African worry in the fields of peace, poverty eradication, infrastructural and socioeconomic development of the continent.
