You did not even read the links I sent you....if you did you won't type this....those links contain INVENTIONS OF AFRICANS IN AFRICA...the colonization of your mind is complete and sealed and you are a western subject. I can't help you. Just keep worshiping your masters..
You didn't read my reply well. I said show me new inventions made without white man resources that currently makes an impact in the society.

I didn't ask for brain drain projects that will eventually be sold to the white man.

Europeans sold themselves as slaves to Asians and Africans just as much as Africans sold slaves to Europe
And this justifies why Africans according to you, left their imaginary inventions and converted their brothers to white man's slaves for mirror they couldn't make themselves ? huh

Can you prove that mirror story? Is it really every nonsense you are told you believe. Colonists went to Canada and USA and declared the natives savages.... then they came to africa and declared Africans savages living in huts who sold their brother for mirror.... that's a colonial script that has been applied to other jurisdictions....

They birth more knowing the children will be talented and will eventually care for themselves.....

I know a white man who saw children as a liability etc.....he felt why hv children wen he can spend the time on himself.... why pack children poo and urine and stress urself. He retired this year at 56 and childless.... he said his biggest regret is not having kids.... this person could afford kids but was selfish and individualistic....now he dey hear am...and abroad is very lonely....hahaha
are you now saying we should produce kids we can’t take care of?

This response shows you hvnt taken time to read about the Timbuktu manuscripts.... if you had read it you will know wat you call white man inventions are not..... you are a victim of a false history which has been fed to you.... who told you those projects are sold to white man eventually...

Secondly what you call white man resources is hilarious.... u are a victim of a eurocentric view point. India Vietnam Egypt Oman etc are all more scientifically advanced than "white man"

In developed countries, Good system of government, social amenities, low unemployment rate, good minimum wage/earnings yet most people have 1, 2, 3 children while few have 5+... Or some want no children.

Why do people in African e.g in Nigeria with very bad system of government, no social amenities, high unemployment rate, low pay rate yet people have or give birth to more number of children Or any number yet go ahead to complain how difficult it is to take care of them? Like they don't know it requires money to do things in life huh

Can't comfortably pay the school fees of the 2 children you have yet adding more children huh So that you can have 3 or 4 children that you can't pay school fees for?

Your salary is 250k, you finish some of the months with borrowing yet adding more children hence lability undecided

The current living condition your salary is giving, you are finding it difficult to push through yet adding more children huh Hence making life more difficult or what could be the motive?

A single guy/girl finding it difficult to survive on his/her 100k salary but would go ahead and marry, pour children huh

Is it a crime to have no children or the number of children your salary can afford?

In my opinion, here we don't value children, human life and the basic wellbeing of the children we give birth to. Hence you see people even in their state of abject poverty adding more children or those that are doing a little better adding more children just to fulfill their desire of having X number of children even when the ones they already have is difficult to maintain.

Another reason is that people don't think or reason for themselves. They just follow the societal norms like zombies and do what everyone is doing.

These things always makes me wonder.
Everything in life isn't about convenience and being comfortable.
You don't expect married couples to be using condoms every time they get intimate.
The fault isn't with having 5 or more children.
The problem is a country where sending kids to private school has become the norm.
When Mimiko started Free Mega Schools with Free transportation in Ondo State, many parents withdrew their wards from private schools and enrolled them in Public Mega Schools.
Joe Biden just forgave the education debts of millions of American students.
That's the proper function of good government.
We should not make having more than 3 kids look like a crime.
That's why Northern Nigeria will dominate and rule Southerners forever.
Having plenty children has political advantage - it prevents headslamers from subjugating you in your own fatherland.
The Bible says Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of children. They shall contend with the enemies in the gates.
Having kids have advantages.
Government should do its job and make raising kids easier for parents.

Imagine a poor jobless man in a face me I face u yard, whose wife sells gin in a small kiosk, giving birth to 9 girls and still not satisfied becos he is looking for a male child. The wife is currently pregnant again.

And am not joking, the man really has no job, he spends most days on a long bench listening to his radio.
Men look for a male child that will inherit their properties, in this one case what will the male child he is looking for inherit from his wretched life?

You are skirting around now. The next thing is to deny that slave trade ever existed. Something you just justified because the white man at some point did to themselves.

If it wasn't for mirror and pepper, tell me what Africa benefitted or still benefits from slave trade.

I am waiting. grin

I am rounding up this conversation; you have an eurocentric viewpoint which is evidence of a colonized mind. Salavery existed since bible times and europeans actually sold themselves as slaves; in fact there is higher motivation for europeans to sell themselves as slaves since they had no resources...where is your evidence that africans sold themselves as slaves? Which history book are you quoting and is the author of that book a white man? So I am done with the convo. Bye.

Only God knows the answer to this question. After much thought I believe the answer is that Africans are born with some sort of mental defect. I have seen very intelligent people even making such dumb mistakes.
It is NOT a mental defect.
It is basic human instinct.
If a girl got married at age 25 and reaches menopause at 50, do you want her to give birth ONLY twice in 25 years?
Don't blame those birthing plenty children.
Blame irresponsibility on the part of government elected for citizens' security and welfare.
Don't make people look stupid for doing what human nature propels them to do.
Or should a wife demand her husband wears a condom before he touches her?

How can Africans agree to sell their kins and kits in slavery that lasted for over four hundred years

And still continuing till till today across the planet




Let's examine our gene and find that streak of heartlessness and cut it off


That's when african will grow


Otherwise, I've checked and discovered that Africa isblessed to a fault

We've built pyramids that defiles eternity, made medicines and suggeries before the white men came , built cities and metropoles before they came




We're barely 800 million in the continent, why do china, india with their respective over billion populations changing the world


We're are we

It baffles me too. I see people who I earn 6x their salary having 2x the number of children I have and I shake my head in perplexity. How do they cope, I wonder.
LoLz, they run in a web. They mostly believe God will take care of them, funny but true. Many of them play lotto like Abiola type. They don't know which one of the 22 children will 'make it'. Then some are in some silly competition about how boys or girls they have, or their relative had.
The root cause is underdevelopment and poverty.

Your write up is not written with good intentions and of good mind.

You are not God and His workings is beyond your understanding. You are a creep of the western civilisation delusion. Taken care and provisioning for human kind is beyond human calculations and reasonings.. can I humbly ask you to tell me what you will eat today evening? If you know it, you are surely living alone in your wretched life.

Unpredictable is the hallmark of good living and a good man. If you are too sure of everything happening to you or around you please check yourself nobody should envy you.

The western countries that tried to be predictable in all aspects of their living are today ruled by strangers and foreigners. Open your eyes.

The good Lord is not predictable. There was a time that the world population was one billion and there was famine but today there is seven billion people in the world today and there is abundant foods and goods supplies.

Can you explain and rationalise that?
Yes it is because of improvements in efficiency of agriculture and fertilisers. If not...

Worse were said of the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans decades ago when they were still poor. Do your research.

BigBashiru:
To answer your question, I will first answer from a historic perspective and then answer again from the modern era...

Hear this: "For the most part, our history textbooks here in the States love to portray Africa as an uncivilized continent. In schools, we learn about the Enlightenment, the Scientific Revolution, the Industrial revolution, and countless other ‘revolutions’ that all have one thing in common: they originated in Europe. Growing up and constantly hearing of European accomplishments and learning about history from a Eurocentric perspective, it’s not hard to see why there are still people who seem to think that everything great derived from Europe. Spoiler Alert: African history existed before slavery despite what textbook publishers want you to believe. Here are ten inventions that originated from Africa and have changed the entire course of human history." It is important to mention that many things were renamed to Europe e.g. Pythagoras theory but thats just a claim on the theory....


1. Math
Contrary to popular belief, civilizations existed before Europeans ‘discovered’ them *gasp*. Ancient black Egyptians created the earliest numeric system on record, and they were also the first civilization to create and solve arithmetic equations.

2. Art
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh3aY2EhCQs/?tagged=blomboscave
No, neanderthals were not the first species to create art. In fact, the oldest known artwork in human history was discovered in Blombos Cave in South Africa. It consisted of two pieces of engraved ochre depicting abstract designs and symbols.

3. Writing
https://www.instagram.com/p/BVG8PmbhJuf/?taken-by=ancient_hieroglyphics
According to Dr. Clyde Winters in his book The Ancient Black Civilizations of Asia, the oldest known form of writing developed between 5000 and 3000 B.C. in sub-Saharan Africa. This writing system has come to be known as Proto-Saharan.

4. Language
https://www.instagram.com/p/BaX6bGLnLUD/?tagged=zululanguage

Yup, our stone-age ancestors in sub-saharan Africa were the first human species to develop a language system. A recent scientific study found that every language in the world can be traced to the dialect spoken by our African ancestors over 100,000 years ago.

5. Medicine
Although all civilizations had discovered how to use some form of medicine, ancient black Egyptians invented a concrete system of medicine that involved schooling for practitioners and written documentation of the methods of healing used. And let’s not forget that ancient Egyptians were also the first civilization to perform surgery.

6. Mining and Metallurgy
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi0alP_BTtW/?tagged=mining

The industrial ‘revolution’ would have never happened had it not been for Africans smelting iron over 2,500 years ago. Ancient Tanzanians had been producing carbon steel long before Britain industrialized metallurgy.

7. Architecture
Despite the disturbing movement to prove that aliens were in fact behind the architecture of Egypt’s great pyramids (is it really that hard to believe that black people can create architectural masterpieces??), some of the world’s greatest and oldest architectural masterpieces are in Africa. The Pyramids of Giza, the Step Pyramid, the city of Great ZImbabwe, the Nubian Pyramids- all of these iconic sites are proof of the highly advanced system of architecture and engineering that ancient Africans developed.

8. Phones
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi9eXmJlukJ/?tagged=iphonex

If you own a phone, chances are that it is made out of minerals deriving from Africa- specifically the Democratic Republic of Congo. Cobalt is a mineral found in DRC that is used to make rechargeable batteries. The DRC is one of the richest countries in the world in regards to natural resources, and everything from copper and cobalt to diamonds and tin are found there.

9. The Calendar
Ancient Egyptians invented the earliest calendar system over 5,000 years ago. And the way that we divide our days into hours and then minutes? That is also because of Egyptians.

10. Cooking
This one’s pretty obvious considering how many flavorful and seasoned dishes come from the motherland. Ash that was found in a South African cave has led archaeologists to conclude that our ancestors were cooking with fire one million years ago.
i love you sir.

If that was true ,all the good food and environment the blacks in US are exposed to, would have made them to achieve better than they have.

But also notice that in those developed nations they are also concerned about population collapse, More reasons these countries ease up their migration rules so many people can come in and keep their system working.
There's nothing wrong in giving birth as long as these parents can take care of them
But they can't take care of them. The majority can't especially in this country, yet they keep giving births like chickens. Thats what op is driving at did you grasp it or not? Or you just want to counter what he said by force huh
