Don’t let the divided maps confuse you. Africa is the most resource rich continent in the world but is divided into smaller nations along colonial lines

When was Africa a single map political entity?

Though DRC is not listed in this article but the Democratic Republic of Congo is considered to be one of the richest countries in the world regarding natural resources; its untapped deposits of raw minerals are estimated to be worth in excess of U.S. $24 trillion.

Cobalt: DRC Controls 70% of global reserves, making it the world's largest producer.

Coltan (Columbite-Tantalite): Holds 70% of the world's reserves, essential for electronics manufacturing

The rare mineral is used to manufacture electric car batteries, mobile phones and other electronic devices

As for Nigeria, Nigeria's solid minerals wealth is valued at $750bn, according to Alake. Minister of Solid Minerals Development

"According to Lake, Minister of Solid Minerals".

This is where you got it wrong.

You're taking an information from a Nigerian Politician to your heart and you're here serving it to us as if it's a fact.

how can you say africa land is least fertile..jargons i repeat

JuanDeDios:
When people say Africa is rich, I just laugh. Africa is not blessed with resources, comparatively speaking. Our land is also the least fertile and our huge land mass has the fewest navigable rivers. Plus the interior is hot, prone to diseases and threatened by desert encroachment. I'm not even talking about the culture, which does not encourage technological and democratic progress.

Ok, I've said enough for the Africa-is-rich folk to chew on.

The resources in African countries have not been evaluated to determine their true estimated worth.

Why did you say shame on Nigerians? Do you know Nigeria holds the second-largest bitumen deposits globally, with the largest quantity found in Ondo State, specifically around Agbabu, which is estimated to have a proven reserve of around 42.47 billion tonnes..
This statisc of richest 10 countries is faulty.

Dey play. Ask yourself why events in Ukraine had such a massive impact of food availability and prices in Africa and why the bread you ate today is likely made from wheat from there. Ask yourself why USA can donate so much food anytime there's famine in East Africa. Ask yourself why childhood malnutrition isn't an issue in Europe like it is in Africa.
