Abstract: 

African politics is bedevilled by unpatriotic power tussle—the winner takes it all mentality that conduces to all facets of crude exploitation leaving the masses grossly impoverished. De-humanized politics crippled Africans’ chances to develop their potentialities like those of other nations.People disoriented politics created, in turn, the worship of political leaders, who were supposed to serve the populace.This paper canvases for an anthropologically-focused politics as a point of departure for developmental strategies in Africa. Human welfare finds itself at the apogee of political criteria, trifling with it detracts politics from its essential goal.
