is it because the white man sees no use to develop Africa
we are that irrelevant

it because of tribalism, lack of education, willingness to not be educated, laziness, lack of willingness to take responsibility and the ever ready attitude to always blame the government for their short comings.

I understand the fact that things are not exactly going the way they should in a very sane country but then again saying that Africa will never develop or that "we are completely irrelevant" is what I don't appreciate from you.

You are free to say " You are completely irrelevant " always try and personalize it. Do not generalize it. There are people doing well in this country and making themselves relevant biko... even better than their counterparts abroad.

And why do you think the white man should be the one to develop your country? You better graduate fast so you can return back to Nigeria and contribute your quota.

Nneka take your time ... no make me vex.

Africans and Africa will develop if we all come together to make this work. Life is not easy down here, granted. But we can do something about it.

By the way when are you returning to Nigeria ?

First, if the white man won't do it, then the Chinese man will, and second, we can do it too.

but africans are not bold enough to be heroes

that's why we can't develop it ourselves

Go nd read Talcott Parson's reason why African remain underdeveloped. Then read Walter Rodney how Europe underdeveloped Africa (the book was written in 1972)..from my own perspective, Africa can never never develop. It is cursed, despite we av resource nd everything it takes to develop, believe Africa will remain in quagmire... Read Ecclesiastic chapter 6 Vs 2,,if u are a Christian.. Even if United States agree to swap land with Nigeria for instance,,, dt all Nigerians sud move to US nd all US sud move down to Nigeria,, blv me within a week,, all d Street light will be spoilt or stolen, within a week,, there will be blackout. That white house will turn to red house. The continent "Africa" is cursed.

ofe oha ok, ingredients u wee need - mashed potato, 22 hot scotch bonnet pepper, 1 teaspoon cameroon pepe, a medium bunch ora leaves, uziza seed, curry and turmeric, beef and paprika, ogiri ok

mash the potato and grind the uziza seeding. then cook d beef with no wata (d natural juice in beef is enough for stock), you can add wata once e don cook finish ok, den put em distin, eh he ora leafy (ora is tougher than uziza so must come first) with the mash potato, wait until the potato dissolve wello, den put u pepper, condiments and ogiri and let it boil for 7 mins (well dat the time all the ingredients will come together and blend ok). then serve with akamu, pepper soup or (MY FAVE) jollof rice
