Natural resources don't make a nation rich, Human resources do. That's the problem with us in Africa.

It is your family that lacks human resources.

Nonsense

It is cursed with thoughtless people like you who don't understand how international commerce operates.

FYI, in today's world, nobody develops solely or even mostly through the export of raw materials. Not even diamonds.

Unless you are a tiny gulf state with huge oil reserves like Kuwait or UAE, you pretty much need to be into heavy manufacturing, to build a developed society today.

The income from raw materials export is NOT ENOUGH to develop.

The bottlenecks on African manufacturing, ie processing those raw materials into finished goods for export at higher prices than the raw materials, are the monstrous tariffs imposed by western, Asian and other nations on imports of African manufactured products.


This makes the African manufactured goods uncompetitive, discouraging manufacturing on the continent.

The USA has in recent years, implemented AGOA, to ease this discrimination against African manufactures, but they are only 20% of the world economy. The entire world needs to lift restrictions on the imports of African manufactured goods, to create a level playing field.

THAT is when Africa can finally take its rightful place in the comity of nations.

In the meantime, Africa will continue to improve on INTRA-African trade, and increasing the buying power of its citizenry, so as to eventually become self-sufficient in the production and sale of its manufactured products within the continent.


Inferiority complex is not helping matters.

Africa needs more people like you who don't feel inferior

If you say Africa is cursed, it also means you too is cursed because you are an African.

The countries you look up to today were cursed with disease, ignorance, superstition and bad leadership for thousands of years. The people finally came together and fought for a better life instead of throwing their hands up and scream "we are cursed".

Exactly

Who told you Botswana is underdeveloped. You are talking about a country miles ahead of Nigeria, you think all African countries are doing badly. Botswana have better infrastructure than a lot of European countries.

There are even some places in Nigeria that are better than some places in Europe.

Africa only supplies the world with raw materials. We don't produce, at least not at the scale of those countries mentioned.

The problem is a finished/end product will always be more valuable than, raw material.
It's the difference between the profit margins and labour of a farmer, and that of a fastfood joint.

And the only reason these mineral resources in Africa are valuable, is because of the demand from these manufacturing countries. Otherwise we don't seem to be seeking value in them.

Even the simple brown silica sand in our houses can be turned into something of value in the right hands.


Africa produces certain raw materials and finished goods!!!!!!!!

France and eu allegedly sponsor rebels and wars in Africa. it's the white man who distabilizes Africa. do your research.

it's France is especially that is CURSED not Africa....

This further prove that the Black man is Intellectually Dumb!

It's not only Africa that the white man tried to destabilise, They tried to destabilise some Asian countries doing well too, Like China, and co, But you know what?? These Asian countries showed them that they're smart and didn't allow themselves to be destabilised, They instead build themselves, Invest in Technology, Now everybody wants to go Asia!

But as usual the black man will always have someone to blame for everything!!

Don't generalize since it's not ALL.

There are billions of Africans

When we talk about African, I mean the black people, I don't count the Arabs as African E.g Egypt, Morrocco, Algeria Libya and so on!!

And as a matter of facts, Africans ain't up to a Billion, So get your fact right!!

And I repeat, A large percentage of African, If given the chance would do anything to migrate to Europe!!
