The Stone Age left the white men to settled with strong base in Africa.
A HISTORICAL INSIGHT INTO THE STONE AGE ERA AND WHAT IT SIGNIFIES.
Stone age era was a period in the history of Man kind when the man's brain or thinking faculty was metaphorically compared to stone. What that simply means was that human minds or brain was primitive and almost dormant. The Stone age also marked the era when almost everything about human existence was explained on the basis of pre determination by nature. What that simply means that everything about human beings and their existence are controlled by some supernatural forces or beings beyond human being's control. By that simple theory man was seen as a helpless creature whose life is controlled by supernatural beings. That era was known in Philosophy as the Metaphysical era. In physics, it is known as Determinism. It marked the regiment or era of ecclesiastics. During the Metaphysical era, religion and religion doctrines governed the conducts of Man intoto. Thus, any thing which cannot be explained or supported by religion was seen as evil and blasphemous. Several early philosophers and scholars suffered persecution and death for teaching philosophy which was almost at variance with religion doctrines. For instance, Socrates died for teaching philosophy. The ecclesiastians accused him of *poisoning the minds of youths* with philosophy. Also, Galileo was persecution because he debunked the religion teaching about the rising and setting of sun. But philosophy did not die. It rather continued to grow from strength to strength. One of the foundational basis of philosophy was logic and common sense.That is what is also known as *the rational theory* or *rationalism*.Because it was among the earliest attempt to liberate human minds and brain and to make man think rationally it was metaphorically referred to as *the enlightenment era*or *the period of enlightenment*.That enlightenment era or philosophical era marked the resurgence of freedom and free will. Thus determinism began to give way to free will or freedom of choice. For instance many of the modern law theories on criminal liabilities/responsibilities were premised on the free will or freedom of choice theory. By that man was seen a free agent and having the ability to make choices. If he chooses the wrong one he must face the consequences vice versa. Thereafter, the philosophical era or enlightenment era gave birth to the positivism or scientific era or theory.By the scientific theory, anything that cannot be explained on on the basis of science is ruled out. The common weapon of the scientific or positivism is observations, hypothesis, Experimentation, Theory and Law/Principles. What this means is that things were subjected to more rigorous process before it can be accepted. This positivism is what is behind the recent success recorded by the Western world in science and technology.
However, very regrettably and sadly so, while the Western world is embracing science and technology, Africa has completely reverted and cherishes with savour and stupidity the stone era the western world left as far back as 15th century. In Africa, everything about human being is now explained solely on the basis of religion and the power of supernatural. Why the western world is building and investing in science and technology, Africa is building and investing in churches or religion. Even common sense or rationality has left Africa. In Africa whatever the church,the priest, reverend or pastor does is proper and *holy*.We cared less if we enrich him with prodigal affluence while we are in damn penury. can buy estates and own private jets or private helicopters while we treck miles.
This without more, is the cause or explanation of of the historical damnation or mockery of Africa as third world country. That word *third world country* is not a statement of pity, it is rather a brazen mockery of Africa, and that has been and still remains the perfect reason why Africa cannot and can never influence any foreign policy. He Is at the receiving end of the Western world. Even in the dubious international trade or relationship he was never at the negotiation table. All that is required of it is to ratify and/or enact international/western dubious policies, conventions or treaties into law, if he must continue to receive the waste products from the western world. In those conventions the western world will just list or name the things they want and as as well determine the things they don't want for direct exchange with Africa. They eat their cake and have it.They can never give first hand useful thing to Africa. Of course, it it is stupid to expect an alien to make law that will benefit its prey just like an an employer will not make law to favour his employees against his own interests. For your information, do not be deceived when you hear an African country entered into agreement, memorandum of understanding or joint venture agreement with western country. Those are soft window dressing to cover up suffocating stench in the room of Africa.
As for me, if religion and salvation as the white men thought is true, I do not think , with the way they hate black men that that they will bring it to Africa. I also do not think that they would have abandoned it to elderly people as a refuge place while encourage their youths to embrace science and technology. Surely they would have made sure they acquired enough seats in heaven before a black man can smell it.
Let's get sense and wise up.Lets stop betraying our common sense to our detriment. Let's stop the trend of educated illiterate or intelligent mogu. Let's us outgrown being generational robots. Let's make Africa work again. Let's us redeem the image of black man and put to an end this historical insult.
Although things has fallen apart, do we want to remain in the pieces we have fallen.? An Igbo proverb says *odigi mma mmadu idika ihe ejiri koo ya onu=it is not good for someone to be like what he's jested or caricatured of. Thank you.

Nice write up

I believe Africa was deliberately created to amuse the world. The dark continent seems to have been created to entertain the committee of nations!

Words for thought and you see masters of argument ran away, but when it comes to tribal bashing you see them in front roll with lots of likes.

In Faz's words "poorman thief for market we set fire for him body,richman thief we the praise am like dommy. My people no get to talk,my people no get to chop".

In Fela's words " suffering and smiling".
