The Problem With Africa - A Must READ - Share Your Story by mentored: 10:59pm On Aug 18, 2020
*An African man was given the opportunity to ask for
anything he wants

The condition was that, whatever he gets, his brother would receive double.

He thought about asking for a house; but he did not like thought of his brother having two houses.

So he thought about asking for a million dollars to go to his
bank account; but again, he was unhappy with the thought of his
brother having two million dollars in his account.

The man sat down
and thought hard, “What can I have and still be better than my brother when he has double?”

So, he thought of having one of his eyes removed so that his
brother might have his two eyes gouged.

This sounds like a very unlikely story; however, this is the typical mentality that has set Africans backward for ages and caused witchcraft to thrive in Africa.

An African wants to be better than his brother at all costs

The African man is only careful:
-to share his beer, not his books;
-to spread his diseases, and not the cure;
-to transfer his problems, and
not the solution

When an African man fails, he wishes his brother same fate so that he won't be the only one who had tasted the bitterness of failure.

An African man is happy when evil besets his brother.

When most African men succeed, they want to enslave their
brothers; they try to make the class gap between them and their brothers widen daily.

An African man wants to outperform his
brother in every area and most African men do not want to let their brothers have any chances of success because they want to be the only ones succeeding.

When an African man gets to sit on a seat of authority, he wants to
keep it to himself and refuses to give anyone else a chance to sit.

In African schools, students who can afford textbooks do not let other students borrow their textbooks because they want to stay top of the class or they don't want to give another student the opportunity to perform better than them.

When one independently discovers the way to success, an African man who refused to give directions would still do all he can to stand in the way of that success.

An African man is ready to spend money to intimidate his brother and make him look like nothing.

Africa will become better;When we begin to share books to pass knowledge, not just our drinks.

When we begin to let others also lead without our influence.

When we begin to give the same quality
of food and clothing to both our children and our maids.

When we let our servants eat on the same table with us.

When the boss lets
his lower staff get paid before him.

Africa can become progressive when we begin to look out for each other rather than stand in the way of one another.

When we can sincerely say, “let my brother get it too, and if I can't get it, let me help him get it```

...true, the writer is right in the submission of his own opinion. haven said that, let me state the very obvious: "that is human nature, not necessarily the black man, though, this thought is very common with the blacks." The black hates blacks. That being said, from the inception of the world, human being had actually been the enemy of his fellow beings.. From Eve-Adam, from Cain-Abel, from Ishmael-Isaac, from Jacob-Esau, fromJoseph-his brothers, from Moses-Mariam, from Saul-David, etc.

Naturally, all human being are born with a bit of envy, strive, covetousness, jealousy, etc. It can be managed, depending on how your emotions played in. This is one quality the whites have over the blacks, they can stage manage their emotions. Black man, black skin, black mind, black thought, etc... but we are unique in our own very way.

Now to the whites, they share in this as well. They envy themselves too, but not to the point of death. They also wish that, that thing can be theirs, instead of their brothers'. For example, Have you ever seen Chelsea support an Arsenal in a final, = NO, despite the fact that they are brothers.
Have you ever seen Manchester City supports Manchester United in a final, = NO, despite the fact that they are brothers.
I think that explains my point... My personal opinion though!

But I have a lot of questions concerning this issue!!!

How did it start?

Did we learn it or is it part of our make up

Why so much wickedness

Africans (not all though) hate accepting blames. They are always looking for whom to blame. But funny enough (save for the invasion by the white imperialists) Africans are very receptive, accommodating and nice compared to their white counterparts
