Poverty is a real issue in developing nations, but they aren't actually poor. They have loads of resources, yet corrupt governments are holding them back and stopping real growth. It's mind-blowing how these leaders can be so greedy, creating systems that just end up torturing and impoverishing their own people. It's honestly inhumane what they do.
There's really no way to change things, since they refuse to listen to any criticism or even suggestions from the locals, all because of their greed. When a country is run by corrupt leaders and officials, its economy just crumbles. They don't care about developing the nation; they're just focused on lining their own pockets.
This is a major crisis that underdeveloped countries encounter, it becomes so difficult that the least social amenities seems like a miracle to them and this is something the citizens are entitled to enjoy. The leaders in these countries look to invest in other developed countries rather than their home countries and it keeps me wondering how that gives any kind of fulfillment?
Most citizens in this country look for ways to emigrate for a better life and that only makes the situation of the country worst. People with ideas and talents do not have the support they need so seek for it outside of their country. Now it brings me down to the question "what are the leaders really leading"?
Underdeveloped countries suffers from greedy and corrupt government, these governments impudent mannerism has left many underdeveloped countries in poverty, also there are not alone, others like the Godfathers, wealthy men and women who sponsored the government thats why they can act the way they do with so much impunity.
But do not wallow in repeating the evil ordeals citizens of underdeveloped countries are facing because it has already gained publicity but rather take direct action to be self reliant, independent while still fighting for better governance.
The leaders are not just the problem; the major problem is the rate of ignorance among the masses in underdeveloped countries. This ignorance is a result of the poor level of both formal and informal education, which makes it easy for the leaders to take advantage of them. They exploit them in terms of taxation and still end up not providing job opportunities, incentives for business owners, basic amenities, and every other benefit they should have as taxpayers. The leaders know that the people are ignorant and therefore may not hold them accountable for not performing their duties as leaders elected to represent the people.
Resources are abundant in underdeveloped countries, both natural resources and human capital resources. All of these are either underutilized or overutilized, yet there are no results to show for it. More citizens need to be brave enough to demand accountability from those controlling their resources.
The government are not more than the people, if a government has been corrupt, the onus lies on the people to stand on their feet and demand good governance, those in government offices didn't just get their by mere diplomacy, they fought their way into those political offices, and expect you them to get there and serve your interest when you didn't elect them, that's impossible.
Coming from a developing nation, I can always complain about the fact that if there are no electoral processes that is fair, people will always have leaders that will never serve their interest, so the number one thing to do is to fix your electoral process because it is what determines who occupies which position.
You are very much right right, when a country remains underdeveloped for a very long time, is actually the activities of wrong leaders because they lack the structure to make the country a great nation, and a comfortable place for their citizens. There are some countries that has many mineral resources are suppose to make them rich, but the selfish interest of the leaders will not allow them to grow, instead the leaders would exploit the country's mineral resources, and enrich themselves, and at the same time use their money to oppress the citizens.
If a nation or a country is underdeveloped, economic growth is retarded, and they so much depend on other nations for survival, however their could be remedy if someone who has the development of the country should assume the mantle of leadership.
People has stood on their feet and some are still standing on their feet demanding good governance but that still hasn't solved anything, some countries has gone extreme to demand such good governance that they physically overthrew a government to give way to the instalment of another government.
I think the biggest power of any government is its security squad and they too are citizens of the country experiencing the same bad government so if any stand up should work they need to get involved.
One of the major problem of underdeveloped countries is the kind of leader they put in power. A good leader is very important in developing a nation, but in the case of underdeveloped nation, they have bad government that don't care about the people or even try to develop the state rather they are more interested in enriching themselves and their families and this has been a major problem for these nations. Underdeveloped nations mostly have greedy leaders, despite all the resources that these nations have, they still remain poor and underdeveloped, while the politicians are getting rich on the expense of the people. It is such a pity that the people can't even do anything to safe themselves from this leaders.
Corruption, inefficiency and good leadership are important for development. The reason for the failure of underdeveloped countries is the lack of good leadership. The development of the country depends on education, rule of law, economy and international situation. In order to sustain development in the long term, good leadership is also needed along with the rules and regulations of the state institutions. However, if someone cannot provide proper leadership for the development of the state, then the awareness of the people is needed to change it. A leader is elected by the people's vote. Therefore, the people should elect someone who will bring good results for them in the long term and will be able to bring political change. Long-term development is not only in the hands of the leader but also depends on the awareness of the people.
That is the true nature of humans, only those who have faith in their chests are the ones who always think of the best for their people, especially in the economic sector, but those who have been controlled by lust, greed, ambition, covetousness, they only care about themselves and their families.
If there is a country where the average official often commits corruption and nopticism, wait for the country to be destroyed, the main destruction will come from the economy and inflation. In fact, we often see underdeveloped countries, with natural resources, both exports and imports, but with the worst economy in the world.
Let see both developed and Underdevelope economy, In develop economy the government relies on taxing its own citizens and businesses to generate revenue. Because the politicians need the people's money to run the state, they are forced to provide infrastructure, education, healthcare, and a functioning legal system. If they don't, the economy collapses, tax revenues dry up, and the government fails. The politicians need the people to prosper.
In a underdeveloped Economy the government doesnt need its people to build a strong economy. They don't care about education, innovation, or small businesses because their billions of dollars come straight from selling oil, gold, or timber directly to international corporations because the citizens' productivity is completely irrelevant to the government's bank account, the leaders have zero financial incentive to develop the nation or listen to public criticism.
Actually from the underdeveloped country we need more people who push more the benefit of their citizen and the money comes from those mineral
It all boils down to lack of love for the people that you are leading if not, the government will take good care of them by making the country a better place for everyone. Greed is part of human nature, anyone that's greedy will be self centered and never get satisfied. When the leaders lack the fear of God, they will rule and treat the citizens without mercy.
The phenomenon of corruption occurs because the law in the country is not firm in eradicating corruption, resulting in the resource curse. As a result, countries with extraordinary natural resources are experiencing poverty, stagnant economic growth, and social inequality. Weak institutions make corrupt officials increasingly rampant, when power is in their hands they often feel they have no obligation to serve or improve the welfare of their people.
Instead of building a productive economy, political elites and corrupt officials tend to fight to control state funds from the extraction of natural resources. If these countries adopt the laws in force in China which are not friendly to corruption, perhaps the political elites will not dare to abuse their authority to enrich themselves because the consequence is the death penalty.
Some of the developed countries you are seeing today experienced what other underdeveloped countries are experiencing now because there are some group of leaders that stood up their ground to put an end to corruption that is making the citizens to enjoy what they are enjoying today in the land, which undeveloped countries of the world can do the same thing to escape corruption, we know that corruption don't bring development into a country and it will be a good thing for citizens to rise against anything that will make corruption to live long in their country because they know that it will consume a lot of resources and life of citizens.
Not "all" of them, yes most of the politicians in the world, big or small nation, they are all corrupt. But not all of the nations are small and underdeveloped because of corruption. USA also has corrupt politicians, but they are doing fine, because they are a big country when it comes to economy. Whereas some small time African nation is also corrupt, maybe as much as USA, maybe even less, but not growing as big.
Not because of corruption because both sides do have corruption, so the reason is something else. Most of the time it's investment, USA invested a lot back in the day from being worlds biggest farm country, and used that to develop itself to further, now they do technology like nobody else for example. Small countries do not invest into itself like that.
This classic problem facing by the underdeveloped countries exactly what happen in my country Indonesia nowadays, living cost increasing significant from gas up drastically, daily day needed price always raising up but the salary payment get stuck and difficulty looking for a job with maximum salary payment up to $500 every month. Corruption every government sector its reason why economic still classic problem in my country and every day always have news about the high amount of corruption but weakness punishment make the corruptor don't take care with their bad thing.
My government spent much money for the program is useless almost running two years ago and increasing taxes transaction for their people, we need revolution and change the government way how to make the people get good life.
The Creator never cheats His servants. By giving each of our nations some wealth, if each nation had used and distributed their wealth properly and equitably, then perhaps there would be no word to say poor. Notice, some nations have energy resources, some nations have food resources, some nations have metal resources and other necessary resources. For our living on earth, one nation has to depend on another nation and we will be able to support ourselves economically.
Despite having enough wealth for every nation, some nations are still underdeveloped, the main reason for this can be blamed on that nation. I will not say that only political leaders are guilty, but the people cannot avoid this blame. Leaders can commit corruption because the people allow them to commit corruption. The people help the leaders to commit corruption for the greed of some money. That is why at the end of the day everyone is harming themselves and someone else is benefiting from that harm.
It depends on every country where its population and livelihood is and how the people work there. If the people of the country commit corruption within themselves, the country is not very developed and there are countless examples of this. If you have to do a lot to improve the country, first of all people have to come out who spoil the system of the country. After that we have to eliminate such people who give money to those people which they benefit from and people do it out of greed. When we end corruption and there is honesty in the hearts of the people, then people will earn hard work for themselves and raise their voice against their government, from which even their rulers will avoid corruption. Many countries have been left behind by these things and if they pay attention to doing them even today, it will take many years and after that they may have to face a lot of difficulties.
It fits the description of our country; we are not a very poor country, but a heavily plundered country. Our country is currently in a major scandal because of the flood control scandal, where some members of the Senate and congress and high cabinet officials are involved.
The people are angry because social services have been deprived due to corruption. The only solution for us is to scrutinize and elect the right people, which citizens failed to do because of fake propaganda.
It's always the kind of government where corrupt officials abuses and always have higher benefits than their people. Just like in PH, a presidential republic kind of government system are always in the list of poorest countries, where corrupt officials always have the remedy to escape and acquited, rebels (leftist) can be a government official too, laws that are anti poor, higher crime rate, higher education illiteracy, laws that always benefits the oligarchs and their allies in government. No progress, just shit.
