Should have pointed out the following populations
Switzerland 7 million
Scandinavia 6,7 and 8 million respectively
Israel 7 million
Singapore 7 million
All economic and military advanced nations

And Bahamas not run by Bahamians
But by western hotel chains and investors
Y'all just lucky
Ignorance seems like a sport with you. Have you been to the Bahamas? "Western" hotel chains? Is the Bahamas part of the east in your opinion? Last I checked it was squarely in the western hemisphere. In fact, it is the place where Columbus discovered the hemisphere. You appear to be deluded by colonialist and white-supremacist thinking. Otherwise, you would know that EVERY country's relative prosperity is a result of LUCK. Do you think Europe would have been developed if it were not on the hinterland of Mediterranean civilization when the later was declining? They would not even have an alphabet if their location did not permit them to borrow it from others!! Do you think the Atlantic western European nations and USA would have industrialized had not Britain (a backward outlier of renaissance Europe) opportunistically created migrant communities in the Americas that spawned first an agricultural revolution, then a trading empire in the absence of competition?? Same with the Bahamas. It is prosperous for the same reason most of Africa is not (yet): because it occupies a favourable geographic position in relation to the world's economic and trading patterns and is to some extent an extension of the the greater western Atlantic economy (and not just in tourism, but banking, shipping and numerous high-income services). No place is rich or poor because of the intrinsic ability of its people. ALL places are rich or poor as a result of accidents of history.

If the 1% and the best of the worker bees all run away, there's no chance to develop. Also the politicians need to have some vision and support that 1%, instead of their tribal cronies.
the 1% will always find a way To improve their lot
Worker bee is worker bee
No best
All replaceable
The 99 can't run away
Too
lazy
The politicians have visions, of a luxurious lifestyle.
What do your politicians have vision of (anc) ?
Cos it's been getting progressively bad for you blacks since they took power

You will be surprised Nigerians ( the educated elites and the educated middle class) are one of the most enlightened people on the planet. They are known to travel to every corner of the globe. So when we talk we know what we are saying.
Caribbeans have advanced countries? That is the joke of the century. Please tell me what classifies any caribbean nation as an advanced country? Is is technology, military, economics? What has any carribean country contributed to the world in terms of science, technology, arts, architecture, literature, anything? Oh, you people are advanced in beauty peagents.

The caribbeans are just the play ground for the US. You whole economy depends of tourism as a result of good climate and exotic beaches. It is your tiny population that gives you people the illusion of high human development index.

Please read the heading of this thread again and answer the question"Why Is Africa Less Technologically Advanced Than European Countries" including other nations with predominantly diasporian African populations.
That’s not true.You Nigerians think your special your not Even amongst the most educated and elite in Nigeria. There is still some archaic mentality even among those groups of people.You could pretty much say that about any other nation of people. Where in this world will you not find an Indian, Chinese, Syria etc.

India actually has the largest diaspora.

You know nothing of what you talk about. Most of Africa isn’t “yet” prosperous? Yeah like it ever will be 😂😂🤣🤣. Carribeans is more developed than Africa no doubt but it’s still nowhere near the West or other developed societies. It’s on par with Eastern Europe.
