If we are going to tell ourselves THE TRUTH ....

Africans generally aren't smart at all and no truckload of excuses will ever change that.IQ tests are computerised so the excuse that the tests are genetically and racially biased fly out the window immediately,how does a computer detect who's African and who's not? besides,do we really need an IQ test for proving that Africa is inhabited by mentally slow beings who are subjected to eternal damnation?,there is so much hunger in Africa yet the continent itself is naturally blessed with fertile soil and endless natural resources that God has given us.What good use have we put all these diamonds,gold and platinum to? zero...and them come the most pathetic excuse of them all "the reason Africa is behind the rest of the world is because white Europeans stole our ideas and intelligence",like really? intelligence is now a tangible thing that can be snatched? Africa has a bad record of IQ test because Africans are ignorant,infatuated with stone age life and the lack of abstract thinking that is very vital when it comes to innovative ideas.We are incapable of thinking out the box and that is why in millions of years of our existence we haven't invented anything that helps in the advancement of humanity.

Yes. They stole our heritages. They are brutal. By the way whites are trying to rule us by their muscle. They are blocking our voice.

I can only speak from my country and my ancestors weren't stupid. They weren't stupid at all but genius. I want to travel to the rural areas some day. I want to work close to my church to know the thought of my ancestors.

What do you know about your ancestors? Colonizers came and stole everything from your country. They came and forced your people to kneel down with thier gun.

Isn't Mandela from Africa? Africa has produced many intelligent nations but whites have always managed to push them with muscle. Africa is still producing, they steal them from their continent. They think with their nuclear bomb. Who are they to tell us who is genius? They are thievs

Quite possible but not wholly possible? Fair enough

As they say-Necessity is the mother of invention. The Bantu who lived in the African Savannah was quite comfortable with life,this is to say that he didn't need much innovations to better aspects of his/her life.Food was plentiful in the Savannah-he didn't think much about inventions such as irrigation to add more food stock.The weather was quite favorable-the need to build strong weather proof houses wasn't a concern,there was no snow or desert storms.There was no need for hot showers,no heating technology was needed .It is this kind of life that made us not think 'outside the box'

The environment made us who we are.We were also socialists in nature and religious.When Europeans separated the church from the statehood,they greatly made gains in science and tech.Read about the renaissance.In Europe we had the royal families and the noble men,educated men and the common men.This structure made them more capitalistic that they even thought of conquering distant lands to add more into their wants.

Africans couldn't come up with world changing ideas because of our diversity.We are so diverse.Our continent was so large.How could we communicate to even effectively share ideas in this large continent or even move about.In Africa,you'll have a small country like Kenya with 42 tribes,in UK you'll have the English,Scottish,the Irish and who else?

It is more like the tower of Babel,everyone speaks differently so that renders communication impossible! THE SHEER SIZE OF THE CONTINENT AND OUR DIVERSITY ARE ONE OF THE MAJOR FACTORS THAT MADE US LESS DEVELOPED IN TECHNOLOGY THAN EUROPEANS. We only have Eight major linguistic groups in Europe,large tribes enjoy large advantages.A piece of information that landed in Greece,would quickly reach the English group.You couldn't have this happening in Africa! Because this good innovation would have to bypass several languages and massive distances.

There are so many factors that make us have this 'low IQ' that everyone is talking about.However, you might say that you are more 'intelligent' than a bushman or a Khoisan but you probably won't survive if you were dropped inside the Kalahari or the Amazon simply because you aren't intelligent enough to survive in such an environment! You might have to rethink what intelligence really means and how to measure it effectively!

well TRUE

But there are so many factors that we Africans can't even phantom that draws us far away from development.

I still think the only thing that can make Africa great is togetherness. By depending less of Europeans.

i.e
If there is any technology innovation, such idea should be passed across every African country to also see if there could be any better innovation to drive and establish it.

If Only Nigeria sells cars,the rest should try to patronise, then there can be a check to further spur improvement

If we want to go on vacations, we should try to reduce the way we go to Dubai eg maybe going to lamu in Kenya,Zanzibar in Tanzania, travel to see the Great pyramid of Egypt etc

Organize various inter - relations amongst ourselves

The African Union should formulate more policies to strengthen ties between its member countries

etc

But I still think we need the Other world to still enhance and fast track our togetherness.
Shying away from them at this stage might still suffer us setbacks

Like you said,maybe because of their disbelief for religious extremism, their lack of ethnic wars and tribalism also made them what they are

Bantu lives weren't lacking challenges that's why half the continent is marked by their presence, also the only reason you believe they didn't develop anything is due to their illiteracy just like much of the people living in Africa including the capoids/bushmen/Khoisan as they mostly use(d) oral history to pass on their advancements which is still a very effective way of teaching that's why we use it in our modern schools through teachers & lectures but the problem with it is any disturbances to the system wrecks it all apart & colonialism, tribalism, tropical illnesses, immigration, slavery didn't do much to help Africans out.

The environment truly made us who we are but diversity isn't to blame for our continental average low IQ, actually people who were cut off from the rest of humanity are worse off, just look at the Indian sentinels but I understand what you mean.

on second thought let's just keep Nairobi National Park.Those majestic pictures juxtaposed against fast rising upperhill are really beautiful.We may need to seriously fence and reclaim the animal corrindor from Amboselli.Upperhill skyline in 10yrs will be something and with Animal park not far it would be such a sight to behold.

When will you all wake ya lazy butts an smell the coffee. The dude who come up with IQ test had a reason an it does not favor the black man at all. Before white tech stuff were the blacks,arabs,Chinese among others had theirs …White man brought ya the darwin an you niggas clap for it.but reality is that its part of demining black man to lower caste. Ask Indians why their lower caste members are all dark.
I know some dudes here will claim science an stuff but that’s all BS…think outside the box darkies for once.The tailored white man knowledge always favor him an him alone an if there is any change the blacks will be the last to feel it...Have you ever looked at the designs of the Egytian pyramids..guess who built that..

Ths is a quote from one smart scientist

“Darwin divided humanity into distinct races according to differences in skin, eye or hair colour. He was also convinced that evolution was progressive, and that the white races—especially the Europeans—were evolutionarily more advanced than the black races, thus establishing race differences and a racial hierarchy
“

below is the exact quote from Darwin himself from his seminal 1859 book

"
The Western nations of Europe . . . now so immeasurably surpass their former savage progenitors [that they] stand at the summit of civilization. . . . The civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace the savage races through the world.

Don't attack something because we are poor in it.Dont be like the Nigerians or Tanzanians who think the white man has conspired against them.IQ test is just is just like any examination test we take in school.Bright kids will ace it and others will fail.We can choose to attack the test or find out why some kids are failing.IQ test began as medical test to determine mental retardation.Dont give up hope.US in 1900 had average IQ similarly to Africa now.IQ improves.It improves with better nutrition and healthcare.Malnutrition leads to mental stunting.That is science.We should focus on having as many people as possible on balanced diet..esp kids under 5..even if means sending them supplements and nutrients.Races generally is not skin deep.It mainly focus on one of the thousands human attributes..skin color...all humans are mostly descent from the same primate and difference if any so minute.

Fyi,I've heard that Ethio tablet story before...

Yes,much of our resources had been stolen as has our very history affecting us mindframe even today. I've been accused of conspiracy theory here before,but read this:

A South Africa-based mercenary group has been accused by one of its former members of trying to intentionally spread Aids in southern Africa in the 1980s and 1990s.

The claims are made by Alexander Jones in a documentary that premieres this weekend at the Sundance film festival. He says he spent years as an intelligence officer with the South African Institute for Maritime Research (SAIMR), three decades ago, when it was masterminding coups and other violence across Africa.

IQ test are standardized to remove bias.Obviously it's a human process and some people say in Africa might be judged retarded wrongly but it still a pretty good indicator.

UPDATED: Ethiopians rule Lagos City Marathon


‘Tana Aiyejina

Ethiopians Suntayahu Legese and Dinke Meseret have emerged winners of the male and female events of the 2018 Access Bank Lagos City Marathon.

Legese triumphed in a time of 02:17:28hrs ahead of Kenyans Joshua Kipkorir (02:18:16hrs) and William Yegon (02:19:04hrs), who placed second and third respectively at the IAAF-sanctioned event.

#LagosMarathon: BEST IN AFRICA
Race winners of the men’s and women’s marathon will get $50,000 each while 2nd and 3rd place will get $40,000 and $30,000 respectively. Nigerian winners will get N3million each, while 2nd & 3rd places receives N2m and N1m respectively.

Science isn't to blame, people are, stop being fools & accept your failures, it's evident throughout the continent that something is lacking & if it isn't resources (minerals, population, etc) then my guess is as good as yours.

Also no one has forced Africans to take such tests, no one is stopping anyone from making their own IQ tests so stop complaining about bias.

every country is supposed to be known by a particular genre of music.
the Americans have trap rap soul etc
Nigeria has highlife bongo Afro beats which is the one that is recognised globally today
but it doesn't mean that Nigeria doesn't have rap and trap artists including the other genres.
play?

no matter what you write, your country will still be behind Ghana
because you lack common sense.
Ghana will keep being more recognized than Nigeria


continue lurking in Ghana's shadow

Nigeria under who's shadow? You saying it doesn't change anything.Try and envelop countries like Cameroon before coming for an African power like Nigeria.As for now...

I understand.It's the same way in USA rock doesn't sell like before but it's still there.But some south Africans are acting like nigerian music just stays in nigeria like their house music.I'm willing to bet that right now at least ten clubs or parties are playing Nigerian music in joburg alone.Even the nominees for best African song out of eight four were Nigerian.How aren't we dominating?In many countries top ten No.one is more likely to be nigerian than a song from their own country.Even in Ghana and S.A.Yet here they act like it's not true.

I know you hosted it
And you did a great job
But l was only talking about quality of life

Does anyone Lagos also invented beach soccer?and hosts it every year?
Countries such as Spain,Mexico and other soccer powerhouses attend every season.
I was surprised too when I found out.
We also host a world table tennis championship too and have world table tennis stars attend all the time.I am really happy we are putting ourselves on the global sport scene.
