I have said it and I will keep on saying it. Africans have zero business with leadership. All of Africa should be handed to Europeans to rule for the next 1 trillion years and they can probably hand over back to us if we are civilized then. Let's even forget countries, see how black men run companies and businesses. There's no black company or business anyone wants to work for. It's always all shitty. See how even run basic things like family. Someone will have 10 kids that they cant provide for. A white man will never behave in such a foolish way.

They need to forget the Berlin Maps. It hasn’t got them anywhere. Africa wasn’t the only place to be colonised. Latin America and Asia were colonised but their lands are nowhere as screwed up as Africa. Many people assume that Africa will rule the world simply because Africa’s birth rate is higher than anywhere else in the world. After all 1 in 5 people by 2050 will be Black/African by 2050 which means that 25% of people will be Black.

As much as I want to be treated right and fight for it, I will not make a fuss about it because, resource wise, we are richer than Britain, but see where Britain is and where Nigeria is...

I cant imagine Nigeria at 2 times our current population. Our economic level in 1986 is the same level in 2023. If we double our population, our per capita income will be around 300 USD per head making Nigeria one of the poorest countries on earth in the leagues of countries like haiti and Burundi.

Christianity and Islam have done more to ruin than actually help Africa grow. As Desmond Tutu stated
“When the missionaries first came to Africa, they had the Bible and we had the land. They said, "Let us pray." We closed our eyes. when we opened them, we had the Bible and they had the land!"

How does one expect a society where the populace that never want to take responsibility for their actions and instead blame some supernatural force?

How can development occur if they are more churches and mosques in Africa than they are schools, hospitals, universities etc?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_countries_by_Human_Development_Index
With the exception of the Middle East and certain parts of Southeast.The gap between Asia and Africa is dramatically more than between Africa and Latin America. Japan alone has a GDP of $6 trillion which is approximately 3x than the entirety of Africa added on to the fact that it’s in the G7 and it’s on par if not superior to Western nations in all forms of development e.g technologically, economically, socially etc and so is South Korea, Singapore and quite a few other Asian nations. Those Asian Tigers are not to be messed up. Even the poorest countries of Asia have a much higher level of development than most of Africa

But that is exactly what I stated: East Asia is the only region that can be compared to the Western world. Nowhere else comes close.

Those ones think that Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Banana Island, Lekki, PH and Abuja are the only parts of Nigeria 😂😂😂😂. Those kind of people will make unfair comparisons between the elites of africa to middle class of the west and think that somehow means Nigerians are richer. Even the much of the rich in Nigeria would fall into upper or middle middle class in the West. It would seem appropriate to compare the elites of Africa to the elites in the other parts of the world and the difference is crazier. The African billionaires do not measure to the billionaires abroad. The richest 10 people alone in America have a net worth that around 2-3 trillion dollars. That’s enough to rival Africa’s entire GDP. It would be insane to even compare the likes of Dangote, Adenuga, Oppenheimer, Johann Rupert,Rabiu to the likes of Elon Musk(though born in SA, his mother was Canadian and he made all his accomplishments in both USA and Canada), Bill Gates, Larry Page, Bezos and Warren Buffet. The elite of Africa are little children compared to those overseas.

It is not even the billionaire size that trips me; after all, India has a large billionaire class, but many parts still look like sub-Saharan Africa. My own is the comparison these so-called our "online elite class" make with the West. I have noticed that many so-called educated black people who manage to have money tend to place their shoulders with the Western world rather than looking inwards and seeing that we are far behind. It is why when they eventually visit East Asia, they are stunned that there is a region which actually measures up to the Western world. Their body dey calm down.

Black people are way behind in every developmental indices.

P.S. I don't consider Elon Musk to be an African. The concept of African in this context is a black man. White Namibians or White South Africans can always point to their richer cousins in the West as proof that they are developed.

Afrocentrics and Pan Africanists are the worst of the worst. They claim everything as their own from Moses to Jesus to the Israelites to the Moors or Ancient Egyptians. Even The ones that compare themselves to the Western world deep down know that it’s a crazy comparison to make. Comparing Africa and The West is like comparing a jungle to a civilisation. They really shouldn’t try that sacrilege. And the worst part is that those are the same people that will still spend more time in the West than they will in Nigeria 😂😂

Those are a bunch of clowns, and we have them even in the US who are African Americans. Always claiming nonsense and sh!t! Today, they want black anime; tomorrow, they are wondering why black people do not fancy Talyor Swift. Tomorrow, they start chanting mumbo-jumbo about certain tourist locations trying to "cancel" it, yet money dem no get. Always wanting to be like the Whites, yet dem no get money and high living standards. You have foolish Nigerian women going to Morocco and Lebanon because it is an "African country", then try to cancel it on the Internet. Meanwhile, the top ten source markets for tourists to the country, Nigeria no dey inside. https://www.hotelmanagement-network.com/data-insights/source-markets-morocco/?cf-view

The ignorance and arrogance which is garnished in chronic privation is befuddling.

Those Nigerians that speak that make those comparisons are the ones that have never experienced real Nigeria. They are the ones in diaspora or are here but wealthy.

Which is exactly the problem. As I write, there are miscreants on Reddit/Nigeria who believe Nigerians in Nigeria don't "warm" their soups. These arrogant ret@rds believe every Nigerian has a microwave and refrigerator. Meanwhile, statistics show that only 1% of Lagosians (where the bulk of the middle class resides) have an airconditioner. Imagine that figure in a tropical country, yet air-cons is the norm in a tropical Singapore.

I keep writing it, Nigeria exists outside leafy parts of Lagos, Abuja and Port-harcourt. Apart from Abuja, the elite areas in Lagos and Port-harcourt don't compare to the elite parts anywhere in the Western world. A place where there is no publicly piped water system cannot be described as an elite neighbourhood.

Two reasons:

- Humans are tribal, and the tribalism we have in Nigeria, considering the poverty, makes me disregard whatever is considered racist here.

- These people have built functioning societies, which we have never attempted to build. For crying out loud, Chinese surpassed us in average verbal scores on the GRE. We no reach. It didn't dey.

The annoying part is that people are breeding like animals in Africa. Africa is going to implode. Idiots breeding more idiots and they aren’t fit to raise family much of the time. When I was last in Nigeria, I could see woman beggars on the street with like 5 children around them. Whenever I passed by I felt like giving the women a hot slap or spit on her face and telling her to keep her legs close giving the children money to feed and take care of themselves. Why on earth should someone in that financial situation even think of bringing children to the world? Bringing a child into the world and giving that child a miserable life. It’s despicable.
Nigeria is likely to follow a similar path like Sudan and India/Pakistan. It will divide soon. No country where one half of the population is one religion and the other half is another religion can actually work. It’s never happened before. No there cultural and ethnic differences are too big.
Nigeria is on its way too becoming like Burundi.

That’s true to be fair. East Asia is the only region of the globe that matches up to the Western world.

When the elites of Africa go and see the elites in the rest of the world. They will pipe down. If you take them to the Gulf Arab countries where they can see the life the elites live there or to the richest parts of USA/UK/ Canada and the rest of the western world. They will come off their high horse and realise that their wealth is nothing compared to elites abroad. It’s true Nigerians and Africans in general tend to think that the Western world is the only wealthy region in the world and thus the only other region that’s a rival to them which is far from true. Africa is far far behind the WORLD not just the western world. As I’ve said prior

Latin America is far far more developed than Africa

Asia is way way way more developed than Africa

The West is just overkill. It’s light years ahead of Africa.

I’ve heard many Nigerians and other Africans actually compare their nations to the ones in Asia and Latin America. Even the poorest nations of Latin America are either slightly more or less developed than the richest nations

There are even African Americans that claim that some of them are the native Americans. It’s like they want to be everything in this world 😂

And those appliances what do they think is powering them is not electricity? Most Africans either have epileptic power supply or no power at all. There is no electricity to even make use of such appliances for much of the population.

I don’t know why this thread and nairaland keeps on acting funny. Some days it will work. Some days it won’t. But look at this map of the USA, The most religious states of the USA are also the poorest states in the US. The Southern United States of America (AKA Bible Belt) is by far the most religious region of America. It’s also the poorest, least educated in the US/ it’s always been that way. The Southern USA had an agricultural economy built on slavery. They were never as industrious as the North even till today. Hence why they got their asses handed to them in the civil war. Outside of Texas (which is becoming purple and thus filled with loads of irreligious, liberal people) and possibly Florida. Southern USA is the worst part of the US. The least religious states of the USA such as on the West Coast and Northeastern USA are the richest, most educated and developed regions of the country.

The USA is an example of how secularity drives prosperity. While the USA is religious for the standards of a developed nation. For the standards of a developing nation, It is irreligious. Americans are nowhere as religious or superstitious as Africans and never have been. It’s not even close.
The Founding Fathers of USA were deists. They never intended for the USA to be a religious nation. The US Declaration of Independence and US constitution were based on French Enlightenment Ideas.

Religion is also in rapid decline in the Western World.

Read up on Age of Reason and Age of Faith (Dark Ages). One is a period where Europeans were ultra religious and superstitious (dark ages).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_of_Reason



One is a period where Europeans became far far less religious and superstitious (Age of Reason). Europe was at one point like Africa was today but that was over half a millennia . It was ultra religious and superstitious in the dark ages. But it was very poor, primitive and backward in the dark ages. What allowed Europe to prosper was the Age of Enlightenment. A period where the power and authority of the church was undermined. Religion began to play a much less important role in European society. Enlightenment Thinkers ranging from Cesare Beccaria, Denis Diderot, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, Lord Monboddo, Montesquieu, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith, Hugo Grotius, and Voltaire were anti religious. They either wanted religion to have absolutely no relevance in society or wanted religion to play much less of a role in European society.

Age of Reason was all about Novelty over Convention. Reason over Faith. Science over Superstition. And so on. The Age of Enlightenment was what made Europe great and gave them the technological edge to conquer the entire world. It spurred the Scientific Revolution, Industrial Revolution and brought about Capitalism, Modernity and so on.
If Africa had its own Age of Enlightenment. This would be a very different conversation to what we are having now. But that will never happen.

Chile is one of the least religious countries in all of Latin America.

“In Chile, the proportion of people who are religious dropped from 92% in 1995 to 71% in 2015 according to Latinobarometro. Almost 17% of Chileans are atheist and 12% non-religious. In September 2011, a group of atheists founded the Atheist Society of Chile (In Spanish: Sociedad Atea de Chile).[22] According to Latinbarometer poll in 2017 Chile is the second most irreligious country in South America after Uruguay with 38% of the population not following any religion”

Look at the map, The most religious Latin Americans countries like Bolivia, El Salavador, Guatemala. They are also some of the poorest and least developed nations in Latin America.
The least religious countries of Latin America like Chile and Uruguay are the richest and most developed countries of Latin America.
