Those from the countries above are not regarded as whites. People from those countries are persecuted same as other Africans.
Las las Nigeria is the wealthiest nation in Africa according to GDP.

Check this
Nigeria's GDP = 448.1 billion USD
Egypt's GDP = 303.1 billion USD
Algeria's GDP = 171.1 billion USD
Morocco's GDP = 119.7 billion USD
Tunisia'S GDP = 38.8 billion USD


Look at this rubbish you typed. He's talking of any advance black nation you are talking about GDP. GDP does not translate to technology advancement. All this nation's you mentioned are far more advanced than Nigeria. Nigeria GDP is as a result of her population. When you turn it to income per capital you realized that they are the poorest of all nation's.

The fact that selfish and greedy people in the government ensure an unhealthy economy doesn't mean you should have inferiority complex.

Good morning nairalanders
There's this question always bothering my mind maybe because have visited some countries in Asia, Europe and few in Africa
Africa to the world is seen as black continent
But countries like Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt are mostly white and I noticed they are not going through this type of mess like a pure black African countries are experiencing

My curiosity grows when I see how Jamaican lives their life even they are not in Africa but majority of them are people of color and they live in fear and poverty

Some opined that it's as a result of Noah's curse
While some believes that blacks are generally mentally weak of which I won't agree cos a lot of blacks have done greater things in the past and till now

I'll be glad if I could get a meaningful contributions
At least to solve a problem, we need to identify it first
Mynd44
I think the Black race is cursed . Put them all in one place without mixing them any race then you will see how they will denigrate that place without any development .Or take them to a develop environment and see how they will destroy everything in their part .The only thing the black race is good at is to consume product made by other race.. and do normal daily hustle of buying & selling and other daily task for survival .
No black man will look at the world and see how he can solve a problem or invent something from nothing that will be of great important to mankind . We have not left that survival mode yet .
Looking at the whole continent, where the black race is fully concentrated. It leaves less to be desired .
Check any semi organized African ( aside from the Arab race in Africa ) like SA,Namibia , Angola ..you will see that they have white presence there that helped in building their country.
Another factor : We are where we are becos of religion .It has held us hostage that we are now stock with lazy mentality of always expecting help from a supreme being, who gave us the freedom of choice & expect us to use our brain to change the world or our country for the good of all .

We give birth to many children that we cannot care for but becos we believe that a supreme being from above will take care of them , we throw all caution to the wind by populating the all place with prospective nuisance .

We are being oppressed , killed and treated with all manner of indignity by our corrupt & wicked leaders but we still look up to the supreme being to send his angels to fight our battle and make our country great again . We become mentally lazy and complacent with our situation becos we believe it’s Gods will .

We are selfish ,egoistic ,self centered, without care if our actions or inactions will live us all in perpetual bondage just becos we are only interest in the pleasure of the moment .
The black race has a long long way to go.

You are the very epitome of ignorance, colonial miseducation, self-hatred and stupidity.
You are an utter disgrace to whoever gave birth to you, and I sincerely hope you don't infect your offspring with your poisonous, disguting self hatred and inferiority complex.


Rwanda, Ghana, Botswana, Tanzania, Angola, Kenya, Senegal, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, and Jamaica are all fully black nations and are all doing well with fast growing economies. You've travelled to not ONE of those countries, guaranteed, but you've already formulated in your little dumb head that only countries with other races included with the blacks do well.

As for the other vomit you typed regarding ''Put [blacks] all in one place without mixing them any race then you will see how they will denigrate that place without any development.''

Explain THIS:

Benin Empire report by the UK Guardian newspaper:

''With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’.''

''The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops”.''

Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours.. to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.


African fractals

Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns.

As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.”


At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them. In the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed.

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”

Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

What impressed the first visiting Europeans most was the wealth, artistic beauty and magnificence of the city.

Because Benin City was invaded, bombed, and burnt down by the British, and all its artefacts, treasures, and records looted, its leaders executed and exiled, and its people forcibly converted to christianity, ordered to forget their 'savage' history, and sing 'God Save The Queen'!!!!!!
