Na serious question?

If so, the answer is no (with that in mind that not everyone is miserable). Pre-colonial Africa was built and run on African ideas and technology, fitted to the ecological situation (land yielded enough nurture to feed those who cultivated it, but no more, no less. This meant that Africans overall had smaller profit margins, which is why there was little accumulation of riches and there were no social classes like there is now differentiating between people: every one were equals). There was no poverty either since land was plenty and gave high enough yields to feed yourself. Nowadays Africans try hard to mirror European societies (who knows why) without realizing that these societies might have developed for a myriad of reasons, but in a European context. It doesn't really make sense to attempt mirroring these societies so different from our own. Because of not sticking with that of our ancestors, we now have poverty and social classes associated with stigma.

It must be called a cultural conspiracy of silence in all ramification. Because an average African would tell you, these conspiracy never exist. Like it or not, it is all like walking with head, as Max would tell Hegel in one of the famous theory. Reason is very clear, problem of identity.
