Introduction Dependency theory tries to explain a situation where resources flow from poor and less developed states to the developed states. Through this theory, the developed countries benefit at the expense of the poor states and therefore the gap between the poor and the developed countries continues to widen (Hyman, 1994). This theory is based mostly in capitalism whereby most property is privately owned for profit making rather than central ownership by the government. The dependency theory is a contrast of modernity theory which tries to show the efforts the developed countries put in order to help the developing and underdeveloped countries to attain sustainable development. This is because in dependency theory, the developed countries continue to exploit the poor countries, thereby continuing accumulating wealth while the poor countries get poorer (Proyect, 2008). Indeed, the main aim of investment from the West is to reap profits from opportunities available from developing countries; however, with no structural, infrastructural and logistical advancement in the host countries, then the West is seen as taking the advantage to exploit the host countries (Nafukho, 2003, p. 3). According to this theory, poor nations provide cheap labor, raw materials, and market to wealthy nations. Most of the products the wealthy countries sell to these developing countries are manufactured from the raw materials gotten from the poor countries and the labor is usually from the citizens of these poor countries either when producing the raw material or in their industries (Nafukho, 2003, p.3). At the end of the day, the developed countries sell these products to the developing countries at very high prices who actually meet the batter portion of the expenses thus exploitation coming in. Some cases in point that worth noting include the diamond mining in Angola where the West continues to prosper from the mine while the country wrangles in civil strife. Another example is the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) project that was meant to benefit the Sub-Saharan countries in their socio-economic goals but closer look reveals that US remains the main beneficiary while the eligible countries continue to wallow in poverty (Nafukho, 2003). The wealthy nations ensure that they have ventured into the developed countries and are in control of the various development avenues in such countries. They target avenues like economics, education, culture, media, politics, finance, banking, sports, recruitment, and training of workers among others. Dependency theory begins by development of capitalism to a complete social system. For example, during the colonial days in Africa, the Europeans used to use this kind of theory where they would ship energetic people to Europe for cheap labor in their farms and get raw materials from Africa free. Later on, they would bring these products back to Africa at very high costs. It also happens in present day where the developed countries get raw materials such as tea and coffee at very low price from developing countries, blend them abroad, and then export them at a very high cost (Farmer, 2010). It also happens in education where the elite go abroad to the developed countries to utilize their knowl
