Why Africa Is Underdeveloped: "A Message To African And Nigerian Youths" by arterxerxes(op): 12:28pm On Jun 11, 2017

Africa is poor and Underdeveloped for many reasons. I am going to be talking on the internal problems of Africa and one of such is how most of the youths in Africa allow Religion to be used against them by the Political leaders and also how Passive they are in their minds.

Creativity and Innovation for problem solving entails you use your mind to think and create things but this is lacking by most youths. They are involved in religious fanaticism, used as Political thugs and think all their problems can only be solved by Prayers. They so much believe in religion that they became lazy to do what will help them because :
-they rather pray for God to give them good leaders than to vote the good leaders,
-they rather pray to God to judge a bad person than to go to court,
-they rather pray for protection than to take security of their lives serious,
-they rather pray for God's protection over evil than to prevent diseases and invest in health care such as preventing Ebola and many other diseases.
-they rather pray to God to quench a burning house than to use fire extinguisher
These are just the few among many ways that people's minds have become passive that they no more think to solve problems.
As a result of these, the Political leaders make use of religion and ethnicity to cause divide and social unrest in order to remain in Power and hence Africa is still underdeveloped because its people are manipulated.
This problem is even worst in Nigeria. See the recent Ultimatum given by Northern Youths and also that of the Southerners against the Northerners of abandoning their oil blocs in the south.
These things are used by Politicians to control the rather weak and feeble minds of the Youths who are given peanuts to cause problems in their country, thereby selling their future.
It is high time we the youths think and take our future in our own hands.

Am surprised you never mentioned the key problem!

Social media

Social media is one of the best things to happen to us in this century. But you know what?? We have been trapped!

They have collected our physical pose in exchange for a faceless suite...

Now when anything is done against us, all we can do is come online, create hashtag and rant all over until it dies down... The cycle repeat itself..

They know we can do nothing, we are all keyboard warriors and will keep throwing letters at them...

With their religion, they use their brains to think and not to pray for good leaders instead of voting the good leaders.
We sell our rights to incompetent leaders while we go back and pray to God for good leaders. How is that possible? God should come down and vote for us?
