Every single day I watch Leftist Westerners say that Africa needs more aid and help, while lamenting the legacy of colonialism. I always nod along to this comforting outlook on Africa's problems, while knowing that the truth is much more tragic. If you look at an heat map of IQ averages across the world, you'll interestingly see that the higher the IQ, the higher the GDP. The lower the IQ, the lower the GDP.

Africa averages an IQ of 70. Somalia (where I'm from) averages 68. In Western countries, having an IQ of 70 is considered a mental disability. We Africans lack the sense of vision, organization, innovation and nation building. This is the main African problem. Falling into corruption, decay, tribal wars and violence in a continent that is without doubt the most beautiful and resourceful in the world.

I understand why white people don't want to talk about race and IQ, because they then will be labeled as racist (or it might take away their God complex and their Leftist dream that it will be THEY who will save Africa). But there is no reason for us Africans to shy away from these facts. Because the only way it can be fixed, is by acknowledging it first.

We can never expect a continent with an average IQ of 70 to organize meaningful, prosperous and functioning democracies. We need to speak about this.
