nairalanda1: Agreed. But in Africa, there was no impetus in any ethnic group to conquer the entire continent, which would have meant killing millions of people. It just wasn't considered. The inhospitable terrain, from desert here to thick mangrove forest there, likely also was a disincentive to large-scale conquest of the continent. Plus Africans were egalitarian people who accepted the multiplicity of states and kingdoms. |

nairalanda1: Of course there are bad white people and bad black people. This is even a least example of crime given the man’s situation. I just use to say how we look as a people. Look at Italy, look at Nigeria. We in Nigeria don’t need to go as far bombing, the judges can easily be bought. Then we have Boko Haram… |

Kushites: So will you say that it’s nature that puts us behind the world? That we have just been dealt a bad hand? I don’t think I can agree with that because even today, in my experience, we still lack that zest to develop ourselves as a people. |

Kushites:Agreed. Blacks were the sole inventors of basic technology in the past. We're talking about the present and the question still remains "Why?" In as much as we know that no country has it all. Why are the black nations more ridden with underdevelopment and ridicule? |
Re: Why Are Black People Behind The World? by Sunnyconvo: 8:56am On Jan 04 |
nairalanda1: I agree every country has its issues and are far from perfect. However we black people are almost unanimously behind. Every large community of black people in the world is behind. Mexicans come to the U.S and do better than black Americans. I don’t think we can really say Mexico has 10 times more violence than Nigeria because the crimes in Nigeria are less monitored than they are in Mexico and more go unaccounted for than they do in Mexico. |

Sunnyconvo: Hoo--boy,...them Mexican cartels are better armed than Nigerian bandits or even Boko Haram self. And a lot of crime goes unreported in Mexico too. Plus, I doubt any geng in Nigeria kidnaps people enmasse, kills them, and hangs them from the bridge as a 'message'. Finally, black people are behind because most of our countries at independence had a large poor underclass...which forced government to spend a lot on subsidised services to these people. That of course could only continue with loans, meanwhile because the subsidised services can only run well at a profit...you get the gist. UK is very developed. In the UK, power companies raise prices as they wish. You can't pay, you sleep in darkness. That means power companies have money to build and supply power that keeps the UK industires running. Nigeria can't do that, we don't have enough customers rich enough to pay for power at cost reflective prices. |

Kushites: The same African you denigrate is the same Africa you now say African Americans are rushing to....you seem confused. Calm down and gather your thoughts. I understand what you're trying to say, that African needs to believe In themselves and all that but that's not to say things the way they are....that will be dishonest |

9182736455O1999: MEDIA MISREPRESENTATION. African economies are growing fast. You will NEVER see this on CNN because they are RACISTS who wish to portray black nations in the worst possible light. Here are the facts: ''According to the African Development bank, middle-class Africans have tripled to 313 million (approximately 34% of the continent’s population) over the last 30 years. The rise of the African middle class is due to the continent’s strong economic development, move towards a stable and salaried job culture, and a shift away from traditional agricultural activities. ......Moreover, according to a 2019 World Bank report, poverty rates in Africa decreased from 54% in 1990 to just over 41% in 2015 (affecting around 400 million people). If these trends continue, Africa’s poverty rates could reach as low as 23%.'' https://afr-ix.com/african-growth-and-the-rising-of-african-middle-class/ Where do you see ANY of these facts reported, or represented in world media? Where do you see this middle class Africa that has TRIPLED in 30 years to 313 million, portrayed in the world media? NOWHERE. So you can either believe the lies of CNN, BBC et al, that Africa is irredeemably backward, or you can STUDY THE REAL FACTS AS THEY ARE, which are that AFRICA IS RISING. It will NOT happen overnight. But Africa is RISING. |

nairalanda1: Black people are never behind Itz most african countries that are economically behind others Africa has more economically poor countries than others But black people are not only found in africa In fact, we have many african millionaires and billionaires on the forbes list ahead of many asians and europeans that are not as rich the economic crises is due to excessive greed on the part of african rulers....who are wiser than u think...but mostly unto selfishness. |

A black American pastor was expressing his fears sometimes ago on radio that the white population seems to be reducing... And the white hosts ask him why he was afraid. The pastors said it's over for America if the whites reduce because they create, invent and innovate but the other races especially blacks, "All they do, is destroy" |

tensazangetsu20: This thing fit be true cos I don't understand certain things happening in Africa |
Re: Why Are Black People Behind The World? by SuperOnyi: 11:41am On Jan 04 |
tensazangetsu20: Tensa, I'm a big critic of the African people but seriously, do you believe the "black man" was cursed by God? I feel like that's another excuse they'd use to justify how backward Africa is, I've heard things like "God created whites to rack their brains out and we are here waiting to use it like Kings" which is the most worthless thing I've ever heard from black people. I do understand you but maybe, it hurts when I heard others say the same thing you said because I know I've got what it takes to build a working society... |

nairalanda1: That was a very stupid choice, I don't care about what people would say... China, Japan, South Korea, and etc went through that "painful" path of industrialization — look at them now. If I ever get to hold power in Nigeria, I'm not stepping down 'til I'm done with separating Nigeria, industrialize the geographical location, and set a strong foundation for the next stage. Nigerian leaders are just bunch of losers, even a 16 year old me can fix this country. I mean, Nigerians are cowards — so, why wouldn't they endure when I unleash my industrialization plan? The same people that got locked up in 2020 and the relief materials hidden in warehouses? They're "suffer heads" so why should they find it hard to endure for their own and that of their generation?
