What's Wrong With Africa? by sammied(m): 4:17pm On Apr 26, 2013
I woke up this morning with deep thought of what really is wrong with Africa.(a) what is or are the underlying factor(s) of our problems?(b) why are we behind in the other of positive development in d world?(c) why is our mind so darkened to the extent that we fight ourselves and we have become our own enemies?
Could it be because of our color? is being black synominous with DARKNESS,BACKWARDNESS AND WICKEDNESS?...Could it be colonization, religion, devil....etc...
Pls I want intelligent answers to the above questions and inputs from great minds.
Lastly...we have seen countries like..Singapore, china,Japan,south Korea,Brazil even India..etc rise from far worst situation dan africa to become great countries.....SO IS THERE HOPE FOR AFRICAN COUNTRIES? if yes..what are or is the hope?
Thanks, God bless Africa!!!

What ''far worse situation than Africa'' did the countries you listed pass through? The first thing you need to do is get rid of all the ignorant racist garbage that's blocking your common sense and clouding your thoughts. Second, stop labelling 'Africa' as if it were one country, while finding the time to differentiate non-African states. Third, stop assuming places like India and Brazil are way ahead of ''Africa''. They're not. Many African nations have a standard of living often matching, and exceeding that of most people in India, Brazil and China, which are also developing regions. Finally, 6 of the world's 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa, which shows that the continent is a work in progress and not standing still.

Thanks.

I know their is hope for Africa. Africa is filled with souls who have decided to go deep down into the dark,ignorance,physical control,domination,religion,disconnection from "All That Is".......therefore everything we do is with negative energy(evil,as some people may call it). Religious message of fear is a major factor in Africa. Religion requires control and domination which is an evidence of powerlessness......but what Africans are not aware of is the fact that the highest power requires the lightest touch.

But knowing that life is a cycle,we will definitely shift bit by bit towards positive energies,we will undergo a rebirth,do away with Fear,Religion......we will be reconnected and take on the leading role in the world economy. If you are aware of the rubberband analogy,You know that when you take a rubberband and pull it back and let it go it shoots up in the opposite direction. The idea of the degree to which we have choosen to experience limitation and darkness as Africans is actually a beautiful thing because the degree to which we experience the darkness will also be the degree we will also experience the light

Compared to the average European the average Nigerian or shall I say African are more like animals where tribalism nepotism religionism superstition selfishness & greed dominates their thinking. I guess its because we're to close to our ancestors (the chimpanzee) is the reason why we behave like animals
