"We have observed people amassing public wealth to a point of madness or some form of obsessive or compulsive psychiatric disorder." Lets make a list: Jean-Bedell Bokassa = Central African Republic Sani Abacha = Nigeria Mobutu Sese Seko = Zaire (Now Democratic Republic of Congo) Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida = Nigeria General Olusengun Obasanjo = Nigeria Idi Amin = Uganda Paul Biya = Cameroon |

i think it has more to do with africans losing their ability to lead after centuries of colonialism. Our political systems broke down and we have being unable to fix it ever since |

i think it has more to do with africans losing their ability to lead after centuries of colonialism. @bawomolo Naaahhh, We never lost anything coz we never had any abilities to begin with.Let's take Japan for instance.They were totally decimated to the ground and cut off from the rest of the world for years.Within 3 decades, they were back on their feet through internal growth and today, they are a world power to reckon with. I am an African but i must tell you this, development is not coded into our DNA.You might feel offended by this but let the truth be told, we will always be like this.Tell, which African country can you name that has shown true development in the last twenty years (don't mention Ghana coz we will see where they will be in 10 years from now after billions of dollars worth of oil money starts coming in).The docile African nations are the ones who have little or nothing.Those with resources are torn up in civil wars or kept in abject poverty e.g Nigeria and Zimbabwe.The only blacks who have contributed anything meaningful to modern society are those who spent a great deal of their life time with western society.Meantion just one true "blackky" who has done anything to be reckoned with in the last 1000 years.Egypt ain't even African.Lord knows why we are mapped up together with them.We are the only people who have sold our own as slaves.The sailors went to other lands but where fought back.Na only us sell our own people for next to nothing. |
