China used to be very 'diverse' (and even today, there are a lot of 'minority' tribes...you may have heard of the Tibetans and Uyghurs, who both speak different languages). Conquest over the centuries created the dominant 'Han' nation.

Agreed. But in Africa, there was no impetus in any ethnic group to conquer the entire continent, which would have meant killing millions of people. It just wasn't considered.

The inhospitable terrain, from desert here to thick mangrove forest there, likely also was a disincentive to large-scale conquest of the continent.

Plus Africans were egalitarian people who accepted the multiplicity of states and kingdoms.

There are also videos and stories of non-black people threatening judges as well...and then there is the case of a prisoner who orchestrated the kidnap of a prosecutor's father from jail (was caught , and the father was freed...prisoner was sent to a higher security prision as punishment.).

And then there is Italy, where the Mafia has been known to bomb judges. All of em white.

Of course there are bad white people and bad black people. This is even a least example of crime given the man’s situation. I just use to say how we look as a people. Look at Italy, look at Nigeria. We in Nigeria don’t need to go as far bombing, the judges can easily be bought. Then we have Boko Haram…

So will you say that it’s nature that puts us behind the world? That we have just been dealt a bad hand? I don’t think I can agree with that because even today, in my experience, we still lack that zest to develop ourselves as a people.

Kushites:



You are a BLASTED, THICK MO.RO.N.

Proper mentally colonised dunce of the first order.

Out of the 60 black countries in existence, how many have you visited, to make such categorical nasty remarks?

Pathetic thing drowned in self-hatred.

Without the black people you are insulting, your blasted thick head will be stuck in a cave today, unable to type that vomit spewing from your rotten mind, because it was BLACK AFRICANS who invented writing, the mining of minerals, iron smelting, the calendar, mathematics, pioneered the sciences, medicine, laws, architecture, philosophy, religion, and other strides, over thousands of years, when these newcomers to civilisation - the so-called whites, were ignorant savages living in caves of the Caucasus mountains of Russia.

Even as recently as the last few centuries, it was BLACK AFRICANS, known as the MOORS, who pulled Europe out of its Dark Ages and into their Renaissance between 711 and 1492. The Renaissance was the springboard for the IndustrIal Revolution.

So without BLACK AFRICANS, there would have been no Industrial Revolution either.

TILL TODAY, Europeans have festivals where they dress up in BLACK FACE to celebrate the BLACK AFRICAN MOORS who civilized them between 711 and 1492.

Nearly 800 years of black African dominance of EUROPE, which of course you know NOTHING about, being an illiterate of your own history.

So you can take your inferiority complex and stick it up your dumb, mentally colonised head.

Agreed. Blacks were the sole inventors of basic technology in the past.
We're talking about the present and the question still remains "Why?"
In as much as we know that no country has it all. Why are the black nations more ridden with underdevelopment and ridicule?

nairalanda1:


And there is Mexico, where the violence is even ten times worse, and even the USA...which has a lot of issues.

I agree every country has its issues and are far from perfect. However we black people are almost unanimously behind. Every large community of black people in the world is behind. Mexicans come to the U.S and do better than black Americans. I don’t think we can really say Mexico has 10 times more violence than Nigeria because the crimes in Nigeria are less monitored than they are in Mexico and more go unaccounted for than they do in Mexico.

nairalanda1:


Because most states too had the same issues. Either industrial development, or try to educate and feed as many people as possible. Result...same as the national government. Debts and more debts.

Throw in the fact that most states have poor tax revenues because of the large poor underclass, and tiny rich and middle class. Money from Abuja is not large enough. So, loans, and then the resulting debts.

Sorry for not being specific. I meant The US.

Hoo--boy,...them Mexican cartels are better armed than Nigerian bandits or even Boko Haram self.

And a lot of crime goes unreported in Mexico too.

Plus, I doubt any geng in Nigeria kidnaps people enmasse, kills them, and hangs them from the bridge as a 'message'.

Finally, black people are behind because most of our countries at independence had a large poor underclass...which forced government to spend a lot on subsidised services to these people. That of course could only continue with loans, meanwhile because the subsidised services can only run well at a profit...you get the gist.


UK is very developed. In the UK, power companies raise prices as they wish. You can't pay, you sleep in darkness. That means power companies have money to build and supply power that keeps the UK industires running. Nigeria can't do that, we don't have enough customers rich enough to pay for power at cost reflective prices.

Kushites:


Stop this ''Africa'' nonsense.

Is Africa a single country?

Some African countries are doing very well, and some are doing not so well but ok, while some are sluggish but still growing, and some are doing badly and need to improve.

You cannot just paint Africa with one negative brush.



African-Americans moving to Africa has next to nothing to do with the cost of living in America.

They are returning to Africa because of the effects of YOUTUBE, where African vloggers have shown them that the western media has been LYING to them about Africa all their lives.

They are returning because they can see that AFRICA, their motherland, is a FAST-DEVELOPING REGION unlike CNN and BBC's racist, ultra-negative misrepresentation of the continent, which many of you on this forum, stupidly parrot.

The same African you denigrate is the same Africa you now say African Americans are rushing to....you seem confused. Calm down and gather your thoughts.
I understand what you're trying to say, that African needs to believe In themselves and all that but that's not to say things the way they are....that will be dishonest

MEDIA MISREPRESENTATION.

African economies are growing fast.

You will NEVER see this on CNN because they are RACISTS who wish to portray black nations in the worst possible light.

Here are the facts:

''According to the African Development bank, middle-class Africans have tripled to 313 million (approximately 34% of the continent’s population) over the last 30 years.

The rise of the African middle class is due to the continent’s strong economic development, move towards a stable and salaried job culture, and a shift away from traditional agricultural activities.

......Moreover, according to a 2019 World Bank report, poverty rates in Africa decreased from 54% in 1990 to just over 41% in 2015 (affecting around 400 million people). If these trends continue, Africa’s poverty rates could reach as low as 23%.''

https://afr-ix.com/african-growth-and-the-rising-of-african-middle-class/

Where do you see ANY of these facts reported, or represented in world media?

Where do you see this middle class Africa that has TRIPLED in 30 years to 313 million, portrayed in the world media?

NOWHERE.

So you can either believe the lies of CNN, BBC et al, that Africa is irredeemably backward, or you can STUDY THE REAL FACTS AS THEY ARE, which are that AFRICA IS RISING.

It will NOT happen overnight.

But Africa is RISING.

Black people are never behind

Itz most african countries that are economically behind others

Africa has more economically poor countries than others


But black people are not only found in africa

In fact, we have many african millionaires and billionaires on the forbes list ahead of many asians and europeans that are not as rich


the economic crises is due to excessive greed on the part of african rulers....who are wiser than u think...but mostly unto selfishness.

Quintessence44:


The problem is YOU.

Get rid of your inferiority complex.

When you feel inferior, you will only see the bad things in Africa and the black world.

The minute you rid yourself of racial inferiority complex, you will start to see the things that MILLIONS of FOREIGNERS who visit and settle in Africa and the black world every year, see in us, from our food to our culture, to our hospitality, to our vibrant cities, picturesque rural regions, fast-growing economies with vast opportunities for business and investment, to our music and film industries exploding in popularity across the world.

Today, 11 of the 20 fastest growing economies in the world are black African or black Caribbean.



As we speak, 20,000 black Americans have left the USA to live in Ghana just in the last 2 to 3 years.

They don't have your inferiority complex which says everything black is bad and ''behind the world'' and such rubbish.

Or they would have moved to Norway.

Use your time and energy to help build up and promote your continent instead of feeling inferior.

Keep deceiving yourself with this thrash...

A black American pastor was expressing his fears sometimes ago on radio that the white population seems to be reducing... And the white hosts ask him why he was afraid.

The pastors said it's over for America if the whites reduce because they create, invent and innovate but the other races especially blacks, "All they do, is destroy"

The curse of ham. The black man has been cursed by God.

This thing fit be true cos I don't understand certain things happening in Africa

tensazangetsu20:
The curse of ham. The black man has been cursed by God.

Tensa, I'm a big critic of the African people but seriously, do you believe the "black man" was cursed by God?

I feel like that's another excuse they'd use to justify how backward Africa is, I've heard things like "God created whites to rack their brains out and we are here waiting to use it like Kings" which is the most worthless thing I've ever heard from black people.

I do understand you but maybe, it hurts when I heard others say the same thing you said because I know I've got what it takes to build a working society...

LikeAking:

nairalanda1:
We are behind because when most African nations got independence in the 1960s, we had a problem

A large poor underclass, a tiny middle class and a even tinier rich class.

This meant that governments , most of which wanted us to advance as quickly as possible had two choices

1. A long period of industrialization which meant more suffering for some time. OR


2. Mass welfare projects like subsides and free education to bring as many people as possible to the middle class

We chose no 2. And the result was a huge welfare project built on a tiny revenue stream ( Corruption made matters worse).

Which forced us to take loans to keep up which led to debt and more debt.


We should have chosen no 1. But that would have meant that generations would have sacrificed in deep poverty before we saw the benefits.

That was a very stupid choice, I don't care about what people would say... China, Japan, South Korea, and etc went through that "painful" path of industrialization — look at them now.

If I ever get to hold power in Nigeria, I'm not stepping down 'til I'm done with separating Nigeria, industrialize the geographical location, and set a strong foundation for the next stage.

Nigerian leaders are just bunch of losers, even a 16 year old me can fix this country. I mean, Nigerians are cowards — so, why wouldn't they endure when I unleash my industrialization plan? The same people that got locked up in 2020 and the relief materials hidden in warehouses?

They're "suffer heads" so why should they find it hard to endure for their own and that of their generation?



Alter ego speaking: Slim shady

franchasofficia:
Only God knows the answer to this worrisome question.


All you said are nothing but the truth. I believe its beyond our control, it has something to do with our origin, something is definitely wrong with the black man's origin and creation.

My man, let's stop justifying our backwardness please — this has nothing to do with skin color or origin. No "curse" can hinder me! If it was about ethnicity or color of skin, then Venezuela, Albania, and etc wouldn't be in their state.

It’s sad, my brother.

The other day I was watching a video on YouTube of some white guy touring Nigeria. If you see how they were treating him as if he was some kind of god, it was so shameful I couldn’t even watch it to the end.

They need divine intervention.

The British did a real job on their heads.
