There are five factors that are rendering African governments dysfunctional.

Due to poor leadership, Africa is currently at a crossroads. This is because the continent's leaders have been unsuccessful in their efforts to position Africa at the forefront of the world stage, economy, and decision-making. The leaders of African countries have not been successful in rescuing their nations from the scourges of poverty, war, sickness, inadequate infrastructure development, and political unrest. The shortcomings, limitations, inability, and incapacity of African leaders to develop their countries have been referred to collectively as "bad leadership". There are a number of factors that contribute to the widespread phenomenon of 'bad leadership' in African nations. A significant contributor to poor leadership in Africa is a lack of basic critical thinking skills. If the fundamentals of the educational system on the African continent are not overhauled, the continent will continue to produce leaders who are incapable of engaging in critical thinking. The majority of the current crop of African leaders were educated under the colonial system that is still in place in many African countries. This educational system was originally designed to produce servants and employees for the colonial overlords. Therefore, if a president, prime minister, or other leader of an African country is thinking like a slave, the problem may not be so far-fetched from the education that he or she was given. This is because the education – grammar and arithmetic - that was given to them was meant to prepare them as clerks and messengers for the colonial system. The majority of African leaders are resistant to innovative and original concepts, and they have made no effort to improve their countries' capabilities.?

Another obstacle that the leaders of Africa are having trouble overcoming is a lack of proper vision. Leadership devolves into dictatorship in the absence of a compelling vision. A dream or a plan that has been brought into focus is a vision. Having a dream or a strategy is not sufficient on its own. Keeping your goals front and centre can help you make progress towards realising them. The majority of African leaders crave power for no apparent reason, but some do so for reasons related to their religion, politics, economy, or ethnicity. They are constantly at a crossroads between many plans. Their limited perspectives are to blame for the absence of ideas, drive, and philosophy in their organisations. If a leader does not have a vision, they will become insular and focused on their own interests, and they will eventually leave office (if they do so at all) having achieved nothing of consequence.

Evil brotherhood is another significant factor contributing to Africa's poor leadership. The vast majority of African politicians are connected to a shadowy but influential brotherhood. The complexity of the brotherhood's operations, circumstances, and demands makes it difficult for them to make judgements and implement policies that are beneficial to the general populace. However, the brotherhood assists them in acquiring power. Because of the high cost of power, the majority of leaders are sometimes left with no choice but to become members of the brotherhood. Democracy could be lovely, but politics is always a squalid and expensive business. Electoral campaigns, vote-buying, gift-giving to electorates, gift-giving to dignitaries, the cost of securing nominations, the cost of maintaining political parties, the cost of organising political meetings, and paying salaries to election strategists and scientists are all expensive endeavours. All of these factors ultimately result in compromises and have an impact on the decisions that are made by the leaders. Additionally, it has an effect on their sense of justice, their ability to appropriately allocate public funds, their sense of nationalism, and their sense of direction.

In conclusion, global economic and financial dynamics have an impact on the leaders of African nations. The global economic and financial dynamics do not suit Africa; as a result, the leaders of Africa appear to be less capable than their counterparts on other continents. The establishment of leadership training programmes in each of Africa's countries is the best way to address this issue.?
