Yes we will, had Africa started experiencing natural disasters like this before the advent of technology, we would have been world leaders.

Hurricane's fury...

What was the US thinking with that Solar eclipse that happened last month....they must ve thought they re favoured with rare sightings not knowing that it was a sight they shld v prayed against....it ushered in devastating evil occurences in form of natural disasters....hurricanes following each other like a menu order....

U shld knw doz hurricanes re sm evil spirits angry at Trump's land......otherwise, explain what sucked the ocean waters dt bad only to pour it back on areas pple live....

Run to Jah

LordOfNaira:


Then we should all start believing every story we read. We should believe that Achebe's Okonkwo once existed. We should believe in Scooby Doo and Cinderella.

Anurugwo:


The name of the first person to sight the disaster.... so u have Irma,Catrina, Irene,Wilma...They are names of people who first saw/reported them.

butterflylion:


I guess Scooby Doo and Cinderella are myths and meant for kids which is why you cannot go beyond what they are with them.

The Bible on the other hand is way different

Holuwahyomzzy:
But why do these people self give nice names to this hurricane like hurricane Irma, hurricane Catrina, hurricane Irene, hurricane Wilma.I'm not understanding

adexeli:
I guess you have a point there, our forefathers had almost everything working out well for them. Unfortunately it lead to the greatest mistake in Africa "SLAVE TRADE"

edoboy33:
signs of the end time


God is punishing them for their sins

this is just the begining

Sodom and gommorrah treatment will soon fall on them

Proudlyngwa:


Slave trade was and is still a universal scourge, not limited to the black race.
Our number one enemy was terrain.

adexeli:
According to history, before the advent of slave trade the level of development in Africa & Europe was at par. If only our forefathers had refused, Africa could have been one of the leading continents.

sukkot:
we are not breathing fine. different types of punishments are tailored for different peoples. our punishment is our leaders

SamuelLoch:


For the gravity of the sins committed by Nigerians, I think Nigeria deserve a greater punishment...

snthesis:


and GOD even went on to explain how he did it. (please note that there were no scientist back in the day to explain the phenomena o)

"Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided" - Exodus 14:21

RoyalBlak007:
Beaches have become ‘dry’ as tropical winds have pulled their ocean tides far away from the shore

Proudlyngwa:


At various stages of history.
Development in Africa and Europe might have been at par.

That was not the case around the advent of transatlantic slave trade. The Europeans were miles ahead of us.
They had seen bigger wars and adapted.
They had seen bigger natural disasters and adapted.
They had explored the world more.
They had discovered gun powder.
More cultural interactions due to a terrain suite for travel leading to more exchange of ideas.

If not for radical changes in navigation, Sub-Saharan Africa is an unforgiving place.
Had we had more natural disasters pushing our survival instincts, we might have been more adventurous. Instead we were busy fighting local wars.

And all of them na woman name o

Last week, Hurricane Irma shocked the world by decimating the island nations of the Caribbean. Now that the powerful storm has made landfall in the US and the Bahamas, a terrifying rare phenomenon is occurring that has left residents in absolute disbelief – and it could be the sign of something much worse to come.

Africa, more precisely Nigeria already had contact with Europe years before the transatlantic slave trade which was tagged the greatest forced migration in history commenced. Like you pointed out exchange of ideas, don't you think that could have been possible . I still retain my view that Africa could have been very great if not for the slave trade.
