olawalepopoola: Dude this whole "what have you done to its success" babble have been overused may i ask you what else must I as an individual do in a society so messed up society like ours that'd bring Black people out of global ignominy? You have to understand this isn't just an African thing the most impoverished country in the Northern America is a Black one - Haiti. It is a generational curse until Black people every where revisit their roots, discard foreign religions, go back to what makes us unique until then Blacks will forever be the very floor on which the rest of the world spits on. 1 Like |

I will give u a simply answer Because the black man is genetically selfish and self centred to the core. The black brain is wired to think about him/herself only. That's why individually,we have wonderful doctors inventors, scientists, doctors,engineers but collectively as a people we are a mess. Here is an example all over Europe and America you will find politicians in occult groups like Freemason,Grand Lodge,Illuminati etc yet leaders over there work for the betterment of their people. Back in Africa our politicians and leaders who belong to Ogboni and other occult groups both local and foreign kill,destroy and plunder their people. is it not the same devil their counterpart in Europe and America are serving? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Clentuzbaba:As for the present you are right on point but for our past history, you are wrong sire. Have you taken ur time to read books by Africans and neutral rather than European accounts. Have you opened books on 'HOW EUROPE UNDERDEVELOPED AFRICA' and 'WHEN WE RULED'. Have you heard of the Mali empire which the lowest scholar has atleast a over thousand collections of books, the Benin empire, the Igbo ukwu art, the aso oke making. No, you haven't. Africa was rich and but was plundered and destroyed. Just look if i want to see the wonders of my forefathers i have to get to Europe. The Great wall of benin, the Ghana empire. The richest in the history of humanity is African is Mansa Musa of great mali, a man who bought close to 6000 scholars from Mecca, a man who singlehandedly brought gold down for ten years. The scholars of timbuktu now an improverished town in Mali knew our world (earth) revolved around the sun when their counterparts in Europe believed it was flat. Our books where burnt, our royals killed, our philosophers murdered. That was our AFRICA 1 Like

We are simply not serious as we prefer to play around and spend most of our time eating, feasting and fcvking rather than sacrifice continuously and invest in personal cum societal progress. That is why we will remain eternal slaves to those who are much more serious than we are. www.nairaland.com/attachments/4916463_img1217_jpegf36bc6f0e3954883e8b3b5a692deed65 www.nairaland.com/attachments/4916464_img1218_jpeg869064c69e3965560ae57d6aeb37a7f2 1 Like |

Reason I asked OP what they meant by Africa Backwards & Why Are Blacks The Most Unsuccessful Race is because the topic is a complex one, demanding answers more complex than I have capacity to justify, nevertheless will attempt the little I'm able . Mistakes people make when faced with this question is letting emotions or expectations cloudy their objectivity. In my opinion formed by literature I've read, debates I've listened to and programs I have watched, seasoned Academics as well as the general public share this flaws. One oversight made by Academicians of racial superiority is the contextualising of the questions within parameters that favour one side of the query (usually the side in which they have much invested (in order words, not impartial) for instance, in one study comparing the IQ's of Black African kids from Africa to white and Asian kids based the tests on puzzles and games familiar to children that grew up in the West and affluent surroundings. This test and its findings whose result inevitably placed the African children at the bottom of the table was popular until – coincidently – a Nigerian academic pointed out the obvious flaws. The African kids did not grow up indulging in leisure activities such as fixing puzzles,building blocks or playing with words games etc. The Nigerian pointed out that any test involving white/Asian and African children set in Africa and based on hawking food, hustling between moving vehicles and calculating money, would result in white and Asian children placing bottom of such an IQ table. In terms of Racial superiority – and setting aside the science,which doubts the validity of RACE -there are questions to be determined based on Nature's Functions a swell as Variables set by Men. For instance, procreation and population size may be Nature's determinant in which case blacks may be assessed here as being superior to whites. ...i'm of to eat will be back shortly 1 Like |

superiority based on population size is probably more indicative of racial Superiority than ones based on technological achievements since Race is a collective noun -sort of. Notable technological inventions and notable physical achievements are often individual endeavours. Therefore, me, as a Nigerian man, is no more physically superior to a white man based on the achievements of Mohamed Ali or Usain Blot than Joe Redneck is superior to me based on the achievements of Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein. You would need to devices tests to evaluate our individual comparative abilities. This leads to the problem of how to measure intelligence/physical prowess, what intelligence/physical prowess entails, and how to relate those to Race. And just as you might argue that Whites choose to control their population (which may not be true given that gender relationships in the West may be adversely affecting virility in addition to the effects of industrialization such as pollution and atomisation) you could argue that the benefits of technology (in the form of societal development) as well as the ability to technologically innovate, in the context of collective-Race, may be influenced for blacks by external variables such as Colonisation, Slavery or the saprophytic effects of Sun. uh, who is snoring back there? it's not my fault that the topic of Racial Superiority loses its excitement and sexiness when examined just a little bit closer than comfortable assumption would allow 2 Likes |

Africa is poor because if the ethnic diversity we have. Two centuries ago, the average European earned just three times an African.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_Africa. If Yoruba people leave Nigeria today, we will develop. Nigeria is holding Yoruba and other ethnic groups back. We can't go on like this. Africa need to develop. We need to restructure Africa as a whole. 1 Like 1 Share |

Because, simple Africa doesn't believe on himself... Instead they always believe the power arm from Europeanans and America can conquer them at any time that's why till date our leaders must lick a white man ass to stay relevant. Also a case in Nigeria where people don't want a government to get reconstructed just because they would be forced to look for another alternative to develop instead of free oil. The Biafra war could have fostered African growth but instead it placed it in ruins. Nigeria emerged from British spoilt leaders, they want us to belive our multi-ethnicity is strength but in their European states they have successfully separated almost every tribe from each other making them a country. Today in Africa we see tribal clash at it's highest and when Our leaders God are being questioned all u could here from them is that multi-ethnicity is strength. |

proudlyYoruba:Be deceiving yourself. Your country is fuccked up. I don't know when Yoruba people will use their sense. After 57 fucckking years, your country has refused to develop. Light, una no get. Tribalism, nepotism and hate everywhere. Education sector, poor. Health, road, e no dey. 160 million people manage 6 thousand megawatts of electricity. Funny enough, there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. Yet some foolish Yoruba's won't allow us hear word because of this hopeless and useless country. If we had left Nigeria 50 years ago, things would have been far much better. When you ask some foolish Yoruba people why they don't want Nigeria to split, they tell you we will all suffer and that we all the tribe need each other to survive. This is the same excuse Yoruba people have been giving for 50 years...generation upon generation, we give the same excuse. Now the question I will like to ask is, are Nigerians not suffering today? What problems and impediment are we going to face in a seperate Yoruba country that we have not faced in Nigeria? Why are some Yoruba people allergic to change? Tell me what the foolish Yoruba people that fought( and died) in the Biafra war to keep Nigeria "one" have gained. They died like ants. They died for nothing. There were sensible yoruba people like me in those day who tried to advise their people in leaving Nigeria, but no, Yoruba people were adamant in keeping Nigeria "one". They put their children and grand children in this hardship today. Yoruba for Benin and Togo nko? That one no concern you. You keep forcing unity down other people's throat. Yoruba people were split into three different countries. It is better if Yoruba people learn from their past and use it to create a better future for themselves. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Setting aside Race, Africa could be relatively backward, by Western criteria, because of accepting Western models of what development means, then trying to emulate this model but doing so wrongly because of misunderstanding how it is achieved. Democracy is a good example of a Western model African nations believe helped West develop but misunderstand how it really works. 1 Like 1 Share |

The four ethnolinguistic groups (Germanic, French, Italian, and Rhaeto-Romansh) that make up the native Swiss population have retained their specific characteristics. Let us stop making excuses for our failures. Did anyone stop Benue, Ekiti etc from making Anti-Grazing laws? Did anyone stop the 36 state governors when they sued the federal government of Ebola Owu over the SOvereign Wealth Fund? Does anyone stop you from petitioning your councillor, state honourable, senator, representative to address issues of concern in your area?
