My stomach gnawed with anger each time I think about this, that Europe underdeveloped Africa. How? Where? When? Why?
Were our minds tied hands and feet? Even when they let us alone many decades ago, what happened?
Come on, how long must Africans continue to deceive themselves with the presumption that Europe underdeveloped Africa? Must we continue to date with this excuse even when it is obvious that we love enjoyment rather than working hard? We prefer to drink foreign wine, foreign tea, foreign, foreign beverages, foreign water, foreign everything with our hard earned money.
Instead of heaping all the blames on Europe, we must critically examine our ways to discover how we have remained underdeveloped even over half a century after we gained independence from the colonial masters. The appropriate question is, what are we doing wrong that has made Africans individually and collectively poor?
There are a number of factors that have collectively degenerated into the above quagmire. I will dwell on just one which I believe is the trending sin of today Africans, which probably the bible has said: “the soul that sinneth shall die”.
The basic economic sin of an African is this, we prefer to promote the prosperity of other continents and nations and mock our own collective prosperity. How sad.
Today, billions and trillions of dollars are leaving our economy to European, American and Asian markets. There is a massive importation of foreign products and exportation of our local currencies.
I know of someone who invested over N500,000 into worthless Canadian made beads which returned no profit. The products were not different from the ones produced in Africa which nobody was ready to buy. How sad. And more sadly, most of the raw materials that are being used to produce these products in Europe and America are being sourced from Africa.

Many other products and networking offers are being introduced to Africans on a daily basis. They buy massively into them and lose a large amount of money to other nationals.
To reverse this ugly trend, Wina Mall Ltd. has come up with the concept of Wealth Integrity Network African (WINA). The official website is www.winamall.com. The site is presently making a buzz globally. It is a high tech online marketplace created with the mission to restore the dignity of African products and promote all made African products for free.
Its concept is to see that in the next few years, African products will flood international markets and will be well appreciated by foreign buyers. But as the saying goes, charity begins at home. Sign up at their online marketplace signup-page and upload your products for free: https://www.winamall.com/signup.php.
Winamall.com exemplifies how to sell African clothes online, how to sell African online for free and how to sell art online for free. It is the best place to sell clothes online for African fashion designers. Winamall.com also helps Africans sell African beaded necklace online free. It also helps Africans sell African Art, African sculpture and Africa mask online free. Foreign collectors can buy African artwork, buy African head necklace designs, buy Nigerian beaded jewelry, buy African trade bead bracelets, African amber beads and Nigerian beads necklace at Winamall. The website also displays African beaded necklaces for sale, South African beads, African glass beads, African beads for sale, trade beads for sale and African beaded jewelry.
It is time we say yes to African products which are relatively cheaper to purchase. The promotion of the integrity of African products and services presently championed by companies like www.winamall.com, www.eniwok.com and few other websites which promotes the sales of only African products are of utmost benefit to African economic growth. It is their dream to position Africa in the advantage position and bring in high economic return to the continent.
With the help and patronage of our foreign brothers, Africans must quickly demystify the negative presumption that Europe underdeveloped African, shun the ugly trend of hatred for African products and find economic space for her locally produced goods in the global market. We must cherish the creativity in African products and boost income by loving and using them. And with the emerging trend of new online marketplaces in Africa by Winamall.com, Africans will soon develop Africa.
