It's not inferiority complex, it's the reality on the ground. All black African communities are doing poorly.


Which history? Is it history written for us by outsiders or history written by our own historians.


African history is the history of Africa as determined by Africans.

African disturbance and distruptions are mainly due to the Arabians, Persians and the Eurocentric as per the adverse effect of Colonisation and the horrors of theTrans Atlantic campaigns.


wirinet:
Why not list the best inventions created by black Africa? Where are the architectural masterpieces, where are the literature, science, Numeracy of black Africa stored. The oldest written texts (cuneiform texts) were found in Iraq. Where is our own?

The best inventions in the world Are created by blacksic African. The period whereby all the best inventions in the world are invented is one whereby all the people living on planet Earth are blacksic African.

The oldest written known form of text originates in Africa.

The cuneiform text are the oldest surviving Western Asian religious text due to its high affinity to being plagerised by the Abrahamic religions.

wirinet:

Yes humans is said to have began in Africa, but those that left fared much better than those left behind.

That is an unfair and malicious way of understanding these parts of African history.

The those that left and those that remained are one and the same.

Due to geological and other scientific conditions humanity experienced at the time resulting into the different colours and shades of complexions currently seen today.

Humanity began in Africa and then our ancestors went on to populate the rest of the other continents in what is known to historians as the "Out Of Africa" theory.

All humanity came from within Africa.

Dummy, Zimbabwe HAD to pay the price of western sanctions for RIGHTFULLY redistributing its land away from 95% ownership by its 5% white minority population.

Today, Zimbabwe is recovering from the sanctions and life is improving, UNDER A NOW REDISTRIBUTED NATIONAL WEALTH. The people are no longer slaves and peasants on their ancestral land, and actually have a FUTURE. For this, ALL AFRICA has Robert Mugabe and the ZANU PF party to thank. YOU can go and dash your ancestral land to white Europeans if that makes you feel a better slave. Zimbabweans said NO. And RIGHTFULLY SO.

How did African countries get it wrong even after so many years of their respective liberation? how did a country that was liberated only two decades ago (South Africa) end up being the gateway to the rest Africa?...


And to those who always claim that the benefits they enjoy today is because of the long years of white rule,well it's half truth and half lie.We can't deny that Apartheid ended up working to their advantage but there are too many things that blacks in South Africa didn't have access to before 1994,and besides,I think the "white rule" excuse is now overplayed since almost all infrastructure in Africa was built by colonisers.


I feel lazy to write long paragraphs,but I just want to know:where did the rest of Africa really go wrong?






see a country run by white after many year of the white developing you guys country it bad mouthing other africa country shame

Make no mistake bro. Blacks are cursed. Check all countries with white hair amongst them and see how progressives and developed they are and then check other countries with only blacks then u will know the difference . Blacks due to their curse will always be slaves and below the white. Check out Nigeria and the way the rulers are behaving that's why Hitler called us half apes. Check out other African countries with white skin do u see how developed they are? Then check the others that are mainly blacks. Now u will know the answer to your problem .

You are IGNORANT beyond words. Try to research before commenting on things you know NOTHING about. Such as your dumb claim that ''almost all infrastructure in Africa was built by colonisers''. Name ONE road in Nigeria that you know was built by the colonialists. JUST ONE. Not to mention expressways or power stations. Or airports. Or flyovers and bridges. ANSWER: 0.

EVERYTHING you see in Nigeria today by way of infrastructure was built by NIGERIANS after independence, not the British colonialists. Same applies to ALL black African countries. THEY built their current infrastructure, NOT white colonialists.

The South Africa you are writing about, you are similarly clueless of. [b]The ONLY reason SA is advanced today is that the colonialists who seized power a couple hundred years ago there REINVESTED that country's export proceeds from gold, into the country, such that by the 1940s, SA was already a developed country. They built their first universities as early as the 1880s!! Same as power stations, roads, bridges, rail networks [/b]etc. The reason the colonialists did this was because there was a huge white settler community there that regarded SA as their country.

Now contrast this with what the colonialists did in their fully black African territories. All we see is exploitation and near ZERO investment of export earnings in the respective countries, including Nigeria, which only got her first university in 1962, AFTER the end of white rule. Her first power plant, Kainji dam, was built in 1964 and commissioned by the Balewa govt. Prior to that there was NO NATIONAL GRID. The whites simply imported industrial generators to power the areas they lived in like Ikoyi and GRAs around the nation.

So the rest of black Africa is playing catch up to SA because we only started developing in the 1960s, AFTER INDEPENDENCE, while SA has been developing and building itself up since the 1800s.

SO TRY AND LEARN THE ACTUAL HISTORY OF THE CONTINENT YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT BEFORE INFESTING THIS FORUM WITH YOUR RACIAL COMPLEX AND IGNORANCE.
Sorry man, not good enough, the bolded is still being built even today, the latest universities have just been opened in 2014!! new roads are still being built, railways for the gautrain, hospitals, two power plants are under construction etc , surely Nigeria CAN do the same! what stopping Nigeria from building a world class University right now? You can't aren't playing catch-up you simply stalled going forward .All I see are excuses and hiding behind white people

I give them great credit. If ghana continues going on the right path, I see ghana proving blacks wrong too.
Everybody likes good leadership. Just that blacks are a big problem. See Haiti, very close to US, but because they are predominantly blacks, see their country, looking like a typical west african country.

The fact that we spend too much time dancing, worshipping and generally merrymaking renders us highly unproductive. It's only oil revenue that has "bo ashiri wa" (hiding our poverty). Without crude revenue we would be as poor as Chad or Mali.

Many Asian countries are still messed up to this day,but do you ever hear them say that it's a curse?

It's an insult to the Asians to compare them to the African Black

Did I just say Black Africans? The Blackman generally.

You rarely see a purely Black nation that is developed.

Look how stupid Nigerians and their leaders are, for instance.

Don't get me wrong . Give a black man all it takes to survive and he will still fail. Remove the white influence. Either he brings in religion , ethnicity ,hate and greed . That is what I mean by curse. It has been proven for a long time. What in this world has a black made in Africa that is being used all over the world without having western influence .Even the soccer and music has taken us far due the technology of the whites.

I felt pained when I read the statement initially but later understood the philosophical meaning of the word "cursed" in that context. I had to adjust and withdrew my sentiment. There is something obviously wrong with the Black continent.
