“ Sometimes it's good sense to pause and contemplate , your next move . Has anyone ever asked why are the wealthy nations rushing to help poor impoverished countries ? They give aids " for us " meaning the donor country not " for them" meaning the recipient country , is it because we are allies ?, to protect their interest ?, spread their moral and political beliefs , rather than caring for our interest and well being . Think about it , aids sometime undermine what people in developing countries need most " an effective government that works with THEM for today and the future . Too much aid monies gives governing bodies power to ride roughshod over the very people they are suppose to work with . Sometimes , countries that don't receive aid seems to function better than the ones that do . Aid monies can be a blessing , it can also be a curse. It's pathetic how island nations have become so aid dependent , that nothing could be done , unless aid money is involved . Self reliant is a thing of the past , why not ? when donor countries are vying for recipient for their aid packages . Is this the. modern flip side of colonialism ? the poor depending on the rich ? it matters not how well educated people in the third world are , they still rely on handout from their former colonial masters . THAT'S A FACT . Shouldn't government think of something to do with aid monies that would free the country , so as not be aid reliant all the time . People ! world demand for COCONUT is sky rocketing but coconut supply is dwindling , why is the government not encouraging the people to replace aging coconut trees , It only takes 5 years for the coconut to start producing money , the MONEY TREE . Aids for the POOR goes through the powerful , rarely does it benefit those that the aid was for . ?????? . ”
