Zimbabwe was NEVER the bread basket of Africa ONLY Southern Africa. That hyperbole was used to exagerrate their downfall. You really think that they fed us in Nigeria, even the Southern Africans did not go hungry due to Zimbabwe sinking.

To conclude there are only 4 countries in Africa if their got things right they could feed the continent, these countries are in order: Congo, Sudan, Angola and Nigeria. Even in that country's hey days they didn't even feed the whole of their region.

You are wrong. Let us leave personal sentiment out of this.

Until 2000, ZIMBABWE WAS the breadbasket of Africa, exporting wheat, tobacco, and corn to the rest of the continent and beyond. Zimbabwe contains the most fertile farmland on the continent. That is a FACT!

Let us take a look at Zimbabwe

Rising sums

$444m foreign investment in Zimbabwe in 1998

$2.5bn Zimbabwe’s foreign debt last year

$109m foreign debt in 1999

2,200% offical rate of inflation

3,000% Rate of inflation estimated by the IMF

Z$250 official exchange rate for US$1

Z$25,000 black market exchange rate


More than two million Zimbabweans have taken refuge in neighbouring African states since the takeover of white-owned farms began seven years ago

You can see which nation is on the decline.

I don't see how ZIM DRILL insulted anyone. She asked a simple, yet rather interesting question.

//what made the population boom or you just bonk like rabbits and have so many litters//

You don't have statements like this. I find it highly insulting that a foreigner would say such a thing. Maybe he/she should worry about her own impoverished nation that is considered a pariah due to Comrade Robert Mugabe's policies. Let us not forget that they have the highest inflation rate in the world, in which their money is worthless.

And who the helll is this Ochi-Aha? 

He needs to pick a different name, so people will not confuse me with him.

I find the OP very insulting. How dare a Zimbabwean come to this forum with his filth. Is Zimbabwe progressing? The answer is no. They still need to kick out all the white farmers, who control most of their nation's wealth and treat the native people slaves. Just like in South Africa who have problems with the Boers.

And what about the high HIV/AIDS rate that is found in Zimbabwe? If you think Nigeria is a pariah state, just look at Zimbabwe. Comrade Robert Mugabe destroyed their economy. He should of kicked the white farmers off the land years ago. Now with all those sanctions that the West have used against Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe which used to be the bread basket of Africa is now a basket case.

It is very insulting for you people to attack yourselves over tribes, in which a foreigner has just insulted us. Have you people have any pride in yourselves? Even when a Nigerian is attacked by a foreigner, you people would rather worry about the tribe. Nigeria is never going to progress. And it is best we go our separate ways.

People complain too much. There are people who actually want to change Nigeria for the better, yet the people do not give them a chance. Nigerian people deserve what they get. It is as simple as that.

We Igbos do not play. The point is, we do not suffer insults. Put your fist up and lets rumble.

How can one man, have all this power? lol

Kanye West is a genius.

This man really enjoys his dictionary and thesaurus.

Dude is singing praises. [b]MzDarkSkin [/b]must have hypnotized the young man with that posterior of hers. 

ZIM DRILL, your name is very amusing to me for some reason. It reminds me of Nelly's Tip Drill song.  

How ignorant can one get?

Happy Birthday MzDarksin. You are fine!

Another Civil War in Africa on the horizon. Some African just can't let go of power.
