    I’m a Nigerian (West African). Honestly my nation & continent is corrupt(both people & leaders) the brain drain of smartest people going out of Africa, disunity of African Union, poor people having many kids & worst of all we manufacture less & import more. Please Non-Africans encourage the small good we Africans do. It can go a long way 🙏❤️

      @Gingerbreadman GanjaFarmer I'm an American. Yes we have plenty of corruption. But you still get plenty of government services and the corruption doesn't stop you from from easily doing business. When the corruption is soo bad that a rich government is not providing services and conducting business is such a headache that most say "screw this I can't succeed here" like in Nigeria. Then that is a major problem. That is the difference of corruption in Nigeria. It is so bad it is crippling and stops all progress.

Actually colonialism helped Africa as a continent in a lot of ways to develope economically but also in a lot of ways really damaged it with the drawing lines between different countries, so many languages and politics and the taking of African countries revenues - but to say it was much better before is untrue it was worse before and just as bad after I think most African countries are just really unmanageable countries similiar to the Middle East the political jobs are just poison chalices as there’s so much issues to sort out in most countries!

      What's important is policy. They love communism and socialism here. The African leaders of today know very little of legislation, or political theory, that actually works because most of them haven't seen it from their forefathers. They only know the politics of villages that were ruled by chiefs and haven't had proper parliamentary​ experience. South Africa elected a man, who can be appreciated for his part in the struggle, but hadn't finished high school. This guy had TWO terms, was in a fraud case BEFORE being elected. A friend of mine just shrugged it off when I compared it to the Clinton/Lewinsky case and how Clinton was set aside because of his indiscretions. Two terms later the country is in junk status, economically. The irony, the guy they kicked out had a PhD in economics and he was well spoken and a hard worker. The people lack education and moral decency. The leaders lack a real love for their nations and have an unquenchable thirst for power. All of that other stuff is secondary. They don't want to do anything or they don't know what to do.

    Im in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia right now. In the part of the city that I'm staying now, I notice most goods are sold through street vendors that set up tents and want to haggle over the price. Most of which don't pay taxes. They take up so much space but bring no income to the state. Therefore, the state, has no money to build or even maintain the infrastructure. So the governments are reaching out to China to help them fund (loans) and build the infrastructures for them.

    -Africans that still cry about colonization or what the white man is doing while a lot of countries moved on since decades.

      Not all empires are created equal. The "kingdoms" that arose in Africa are particularly unimpressive. They didn't contribute anything significant to the world around them, and they failed to create a competent, or enduring political infrastructure. There was almost no technological/cultural advancement. As far Egypt is concerned, it's hardly an African civilization in the sense that he's talking about in the video. It has more in common with West Asia than it does the rest of Africa, and that difference shows to this day.

In France, Germany, Sweden, a young person who works will loose almost 32% of his/her monthly salary to the government which will make him/her reluctant on making Children or forming couples Step 10: Promote race-mixing, miscegenation between the foreigners and the natives in every movie, every TV show, every cartoon for children, every education book, every publicity Step 11: Ban free -speech about foreigners, Islam or race by imposing political correctness and social organizations that fight “racism” so the natives will shut their moths and accept their own genocide Step 12: Promote the cultures of foreigners, promote Islam, promote all other races cultures and identities except the culture of the natives and Christianity Step 13: Jail the leaders, the thinkers, the intellectuals & writers who are trying to awaken the masses by labeling them far-right Nazis who are spreading “hate” or “terror” Step 14: Make the natives hate themselves, their history and all the great achievements of their ancestors. Re-write their History to destroy their pride in their race, ancestors or culture so they will not care about being replaced Step 15: Promote Guilt in the brains of natives, that they are responsible for all the miseries of other races & nations Step 16: Promote individualism, the lies of global warming & overpopulation and promote humanitarianism.

      There are many factors. Not all colonies served the same geopolitical advantages to their colonizers. Africa was also colonized more extensively than other countries.
      Asian colonization was nowhere near as extensive as African colonization, and tended to rely much more on co-opting existing power structures than building entirely new ones. That's because Asia had existing power structures to co-opt--local imperial barons that controlled large amounts of land. Much of Asia was also not colonized.

      Borders were drawn mostly to suit the convenience of whatever western country wanted to do business there after the colonian powers left, and there is an emerging literature indicating that borders that cut across ethnic lines are a recipe for conflict, and thus poverty.
      In Asian colonies, borders were cut along ethnic lines while in Africa they cut right through them. Colonizers fucked it up for them since the beginning.

The Globalists especially supports it, i mean if you cant get slavery and colonialism, why not just tell them to come work here, do the dirty job, look at this fancy products and money, and abandon your nations, while setting up neo colonialist companies. Not only did you loot them, you want its smart, able bodied population to abandon it. Amazing. The only least damaging people you have is those conservatives, pr right wingers.

Besides Europeans coming to the African continent and further setting darker skinned Africans back, Africans have no one but ourselves to blame for our position in the respective countries we predominantly populate due to corruption, the lack of care we have for each other as far as our development is concerned infrastructure and intellectual development. I made an observation about our people globally and how our environments are very similar in appearance around the world. We need to stop blaming white people and other groups of people for our position and stand up and do something about it. The most embarrassing thing we can do as a people that look like us is constantly hold our hands out for people to help us solve our own or problems.

Sorry for my English because it is not my primary mother language and we use French in my country Djibouti for education instead of Somali because afar won't like it and same for us also we won't allow afar. We can't also develop all languages because of the money it needs of which stupid corrupt leader are stealing it.

      I Love That Katie Loves Classic Books Everyone needs a boost. Aide is not just giving people money. It can be knowledge transfer from the West to Africa. The Latins took from Greeks and the Greeks from the Egyptians. The west started with something. They started from a foundation from which they build on. The West could only succeed by taking from the discoveries of many other non-westerners. The Indians and Arabs came up with number systems that we use today. They still are very good with numbers to date. The Egyptian brought Pythagoras theorem. Euclidean geometry came from the Roman (Greeks) not from Europe. Plato and Socrates to name a few. The West had the means and the motive to get where they are today. They had the resources, most of which came from Africa btw to build and fund research. Their system of parliament came from Greek and Latin model. Their democracy came from Rome. The Latins took over Europe and help them get to where they are today. Africa, the Arab countries, India and China were in trade for centuries b4 Europe was even on the map. So you can’t say that Africa could never get anywhere if it wasn’t for the West. There are still Japan and China close by that could still help them with that push start. Europe had lots of help. Europe was aided. When they were wise enough to start exploring they realised that gun power was their most prized possession because it help them to do what they did to the world. Europe started off as farmers. They still are so good at it. I really love white people. Every race a matter of fact. I don’t like that Europeans genuinely believe that Africans are inferior and less intelligent than anyone else. I understand, why many might come to that conclusion but it’s more complicated than that. The same was said about the Chinese. As soon as they got the opportunity, they showed the world that the assumptions made about them are untrue. The contemporary African thinking is changing. You’ll never know what God has in store for us. You didn’t create us. You don’t have our manual to know how we function. We should be working together for a better world for all. Not just for a few elites. I appreciate your comments. They motivate us to keep pushing the boundaries and making ourselves better. We actually want better and we are willing to learn.

      I Love That Katie Loves Classic Book Is that what they told you? There are lots of poor countries in the world. There are lots of poor people in world including millions in the West who are not receiving aide. The question is, why single out Africa? Why are so many European companies here taking the natural resources below the market value. Maybe if they were paying market prices for our resources, we wouldn’t need your aid. There are corrupt politicians in Africa, but corruption is everywhere. It’s just hidden very well by western media. There is still poverty in the West despite all your wealth. Few efforts are being made to help the poor in the West. Lots of Westerners working in Africa and the Middle East. So the West is not as glamorous as you think. Better than Africa because of help it got in the past, but not significantly better off. Millions in the West still die of cancer, aids, diabetes and many other health related diseases despite your technology. The West has it’s problems. You’d wonder why they are so concerned for Africa. Thanks though. It helps me to understand how you guys think, which is very shallow. An African country recently helped a European one out of debt. There was no media coverage about that. You rely too much on the media for your education. You should do more research b4 making sweeping claims, that will only expose your ignorance about the world.

    My friend's son recently left to spend 2 years in Senegal with the Peace Corp. Before leaving he had to complete an apparently quite intensive week of "orientation". The week starts with a welcome talk and a brief overview. Some Peace Corp higher up gave the talk. The third "paragraph" of his talk started with the sentence "Much of Africa is a highly fecalized environment". He went on to describe how the way they take a shit over there, you just go where ever you want or is most convenient. On the sidewalk? if you want. in the streets, in the woods, off the side of the bridge into the river below.Apparently that's how it's always been done, to the dawn of time. So, the trainees were told to always carry at least a small cloth to cover their nose and mouth any time the dry wind of the hottest months blows, kicking up cloud of dust from the streets and the land. they were told if a sample of that dust were tested, it would be as much microscopic shit particles as it was clay. And the speaker warned the trainees the most serious way possible. Do not drink the water. Do not bath with the water. do not launder or clean dishes or cutlery with the water. Do not step in puddles, do not go swimming or wading. In fact, if you walk past water, do so at the greatest possible distance. He said the water there was so contaminated with all sorts of hideous parasites that the PC goes to great lengths at great expense to ship water from the USA or Europe to the regional PC facilities for the use of PC employees. even water for laundry.
    They were given similar warnings regarding aanimals, pets and livestock.

    The short write-up from PAMELA CANTOR sums the origins of African developmental failure (the children cognitive capacity is often not well developed). Africans have this historical negative attitude towards children and women. Children and women have no say in African culture, both are often abused through neglect and brutality. The children are often too many in a family unit and they suffer both malnutrition and low parental care, this issue is seen in the large number of out of school children in Nigeria. Additionally, Africans continuously brought up their children with vague understanding of the real world dynamics, by infusing them with superstitious beliefs. We also have huge inferiority complex, we only see foreigners as more capable e.g. Europeans and Asians. There is this disrespect for education among "traditional" African people, education through innovation and independence in research is often frown upon. People in Africa hardly bother about their environment in terms of urban and regional planning, simple hygiene etc. There are so many community issues but I mentioned just a few.
    There's so much to say concerning the style of leadership in Africa, but this platform will not be enough, so I will only mention the innate weakness of the system of leadership. In Africa, people still have this Alpha male admiration, consequently leaders often have a free reign (disrespect for the copied white man constitution) on the natural resources (material resources) and Human Resources. More often than not, the leaders are not qualified as per merit, they are often the worst among the people of their communities. The above issues might be common in other races/regions, but I see it magnified in Africa in recent human history. I do not see the fault of colonial masters, the fault might exist while they colonise us, but after independence its entirely the fault of Africans. We can not blame the colonial masters forever, somehow we have to take responsibility for our failure. Am a Nigerian..

    Every revolution in Africa has proposed to do exactly what this journalist proposes be done (i.e., put the power back into the hands of the people) in order to garner support, but then every regime has subsequently indulged in horrendous corruption, as well as significant levels of violence in order to remain in power when that support evaporated (and please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'd like to know the exception to this pattern). So...if past is prologue, and if we're not engaging in the textbook definition of insanity, why should any reasonable person expect that things might soon be different? Have Africans experienced some sort of epiphany which might allow them to make better decisions from now on? Have they abandoned the lingering passivity which leads them to put a strongman in power, rather than support democratic institutions? Or is something else going on? Are Africans going to renounce violence any time soon? Pardon me if I don't hold my breath waiting for that to happen...

      itshannah who indoctrinated that to you daddy ran away ? [ ] Step 1: Convince these people that race does not exist but all humans are one race with different skin colors, so they will believe they will be replaced “by themselves but different skin color” Step 2: Create fake reasons why immigrants should come to live with that people (skilled workers, guest workers, refugees, students, family reunification…) Step 3: Ban statistics on race and religion among different age sections of that nation Step 4: Repeat the same lie that foreigners are just 5 or 7 percent and will not change your nation Step 5: Give huge welfare money to foreigners to finance their useless presence or finance their breeding like rabbits of children Step 6: allow every foreigner to bring his brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, wives and all family, who also will bring their relatives as well Step 7: Give nationalities to all these foreigners Step 8: promote all the movements that reduce the birth-rate of the natives such as anti-family movies, abortion, easy-sex, homosexuality, transcendentalism, individualism, Step 9: Inflict poverty conditions on the native people by stripping them from their hard-work money to finance the welfare system. In France, Germany, Sweden, a young person who works will loose almost 32% of his/her monthly salary to the government which will make him/her reluctant on making Children or forming couples Step 10: Promote race-mixing, miscegenation between the foreigners and the natives in every movie, every TV show, every cartoon for children, every education book, every publicity Step 11: Ban free -speech about foreigners, Islam or race by imposing political correctness and social organizations that fight “racism” so the natives will shut their moths and accept their own genocide Step 12: Promote the cultures of foreigners, promote Islam, promote all other races cultures and identities except the culture of the natives and Christianity Step 13: Jail the leaders, the thinkers, the intellectuals & writers who are trying to awaken the masses by labeling them far-right Nazis who are spreading “hate” or “terror” Step 14: Make the natives hate themselves, their history and all the great achievements of their ancestors. Re-write their History to destroy their pride in their race, ancestors or culture so they will not care about being replaced Step 15: Promote Guilt in the brains of natives, that they are responsible for all the miseries of other races & nations Step 16: Promote individualism, the lies of global warming & overpopulation and promote humanitarianism. So the natives will stop having babies, instead they think about global warming or they want to adopt children from other countries of different races Step 17; Ban free-speech about the real rulers of that nation, the J who are behind this sophisticate Genocide that will take just few generations to be accomplished

    Why Development in Africa Is So Difficult:
    #1: Political leaders working primarily for the interest of their countries are overthrown and/or assassinated by former colonial countries of Europe or by the USA. PLENTY examples of this case: Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, Ruben Um Nyobé, Mouamar Khadafi...
    Don't take my words for it and look up Jacques Foccart to hear it from the horse's mouth, he's one of the main men responsible for these coup d'états. Imagine if Napoléon was killed before he had the chance to stabilize France, it would've been a mess and maybe still would be. Well, men like Sankara did a great job at initiating the development of their countries and had significant results before they were "stopped" in their enterprise.
    #2: Countries that were colonized by France are really still controlled by it therefore can't impulse a positive change for their people as it goes against the interest of France. The interest of Western countries is to sell to Africa and buy for really cheap. That's why France still controls it's ancient colonies currency, the franc CFA (literally the franc of French Colonies of Africa) and it's value so they can devalue it at will and keep getting everything they need in Africa for cheap. Which leaves no chance for these countries to be financially empowered and compete economically. Countries that have their own currency do way better and are actually developing (Nigeria, Ghana...)
    #3: People in power in these countries still controlled externally are "allowed" to be in power as long as they work for the Western world. If they were to stop working for this oppressive system they would be deposed just like any of their predecessors that opposed the system before (example: Côte d'Ivoire President Laurent Gbagbo). Those selected to hold these positions are chosen based on the facts that they're easily corruptible and will keep the system running as long as they can hoard money from themselves and their family.

      Most of those civil wars are because of colonialism lol Belgium played a significant role in the Rwandan genocide. During the colonial period, Belgium colonized Rwanda and implemented a policy of ethnic division, favoring the Tutsi minority over the Hutu majority. This division created tensions and resentment between the two groups. In the years leading up to the genocide, Belgium continued to support the Tutsi-led government, despite growing ethnic tensions. The Belgian government also withdrew its peacekeeping forces during the genocide, which further exacerbated the violence and allowed the genocide to unfold. It is important to note that the genocide was ultimately perpetrated by extremist Hutu factions, but Belgium's colonial legacy and actions played a role in creating the conditions for the genocide to occur.
      Also organisers how did you here what the bristh colonial administration did in Lagos
      Throughout the 19th century the city was plagued by overcrowding and sanitary problems. While some early British officials such as Governor William MacGregor (1846-1919) attempted to improve the health of all of Lagos’ inhabitants, after 1900 colonial officials focused on the European areas. From that point the small European community was segregated and given preference in sanitary measures. Also mukoko slum in Lagos was doused in 19 century lol

This video is from 2012, and things have inarguably gotten worse (coup in Burkina Faso only this year, constant instability in central Africa, Nigerian politics might be even worse). It's not totally fair to ask rich Africans to deplete their wealth by having them invest in countries where the government can steal it at a moment's notice. The few dozen truly rich African businessmen would just as likely wind up broke, and current dictators wind up a little richer. ...The system is so entrenched towards corruption and dysfunction, that to truly "fix it," you would have to have an outside behemoth like the United States come in and deliberately, forcefully commit military and economic resources to reform the various corrupt governments and autocracies. The U.S. will probably NEVER do that, and the only big country that seems truly interested in Africa is China, where they are doing the exact opposite of what America did in Iraq and tried to do in Afghanistan: stripping democracies, empowering the worst dictators, enabling genocide or the worst human rights violations, and stealing the resources as part of a Colonialism 2.0

But that wasn't even the worst part.

    In the immediate postcolonial period, African countries had a period of rapid economic growth in some cases as high as 10%. As a consequence of the Opec oil crisis which resulted in massive amounts of new money entering commercial banks in the global North, these banks began to extend massive loans to countries in Latin America and Africa. In the 80s Mexico became the first country to default on its loans and soon many others followed which resulted in the American and European governments bailing out their banks and the American controlled IMF and World Bank forcing new restructuring of these economies in order to allow them to pay back their debts. Unfortunately this meant a shift into an export focused economy... What the gentleman talked about as extraction of wealth. Due to the fact that there were dozens of countries now with this export focused economy and many of them were basically selling the same thing, the prices fell and a vicious cycle began because now since these economies are unfocused on actual development but still just paying back debt, and prices for their exports remain low, Africa doesn't have much of a chance. I mean obviously there are still internal factors explaining why Africa is facing problems of development but western neocolonialism is a pretty big fucking hurdle wouldn't you agree

      Africa needs to restructure it's relationship with Europe as mutually beneficial relationship or completely cut off if Europe is refusing to change its stance in giving asylum to corrupt Africans and pursecution of western companies involved in shady deals.
      Also I realized that while IMF adviced Africa to liberalise their Economies and become export based economies, US and much of Europe put trade restrictions on agricultural goods in order to protect it's farmers but instead they drove millions of Africans to extreme poverty since majority of them were agrarian societies relying on exports to Europe

    GEOGRAPHY is the biggest factor.
    Africa's GEOGRAPHY prevents economic advancement. Very poor river systems for transportation of goods. Most are too shallow, full of waterfalls, and rapids.
    Very few areas for ports to allow big ships to dock.
    Africa's layout and position on Earth is very poor for economic growth.
    It's longer North to South than East to West and sits in the center which gives Africa many climate zones which dictate many different cultures, cultures who don't trust one another.
    No reliable pack animals for farming or transportation of goods.
    Terrain that isn't conducive to trains.
    And many more natural factors that is NO Man's fault.

People are so quick to bring up eastern Europe and Germany and Japan when it isn't applicable in the same way middle east and Africa was carved by the European. You tell me, is the middle eastern countries first world and have the gone past shia/sunni and kurdish/turkish/iraqi/syrian differences that they have?
