You can't deny the intelligence and brilliance of the Hongkongers too

South africa was also built by the west too, But Has anything really changed?? NO

Hongkong were fast enough to quickly learn from the west and built themselves a haven, They are one of the highest exporters in the world, Best city, High standard of living, High number of billionaires

Just name it!!
Nothing special about their so-called "intelligence".. Just that culturally, the Chinese have very good work ethics. The guys in Hong Kong just like their cousins in Guangdong are basically traders. Living next door to the manufacturing behemoth that is China was/is a big plus..., they made use of their chances.. What you have to realize is that when a community lives in a very small densely populated place, competition for new skills tend to be more fierce. From the outside, you see them as perculiar workaholics, but they are just desperately imbibing new survival skills..... The south Africans are doing well in relative terms. Believe me, if Hong Kongers were subjugated to all the atrocities the blacks in South Africa faced, Hong Kong will be like Laos or Burma..

At bolded

Lagos population is 2 times higher than Hongkong, Not to talk of nigeria entirely, So why are there no healthy competition here that should have catapulted us to a first world country with massive Infrastructural development and High HDI like Hongkong?

Or is anything holding us back here?

I will keep on saying, Hongkong is a great place with intelligent individual, That explains why the city is one of the best in the world!!

Check out Armenia,Georgia,moldova,Azerbaijan,Ukraine
And those are whites that were never colonized Enslaved
Remove the European Union and see the wretchedness of most European countries
The UK would soon leave the EU
Just watch how the value of the Euro would come down
If they were really rich why colonize and look for other lands??
European riches is based on the sweat of African and Oriental slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Even till now Europe is still milking Africa

They were smarter than you, and that explains why they colonized you, While Africans were still running in village naked, European already had Well planned Cities with great architecture, They invented most of the things we used today, Trains, Cars, Skyscrapers, Aeroplane's, Guns, Television, E.t.c Including that phone you're using!

Tell me one thing Africa has contributed to the Growth of the world aside consuming everything??

Checkout Lagos too

Is Lagos not densely populated?? Or is there another meaning for “DENSELY?”

Why are there no healthy competition in Lagos, I mean a competition that will transform the city to be able to compete with the likes of New York, Shanghai, London and so on?

The west built up Hong Kong as both political and economic counterweight to communist China...Hong Kong was supposed to be this tiny capitalist bastion near a Communist behemoth... The western experiment worked in somewsys and failed in other ways.... Worked, in the sense that mainland Chinese realizing how progressive and bouyant the capitalist HK and the Asian tigers were then, started a series of protests which culminated into the liberalisation of the economy after the 'Tianamen riots', essentially creating the new capitalist China...

Failed, in the sense that mainland China realising that it has to quickly adapt free market practices to survive, meticulously planned her way into capitalism without allowing the kind of confusion and disorder of perestroika in the former USSR which eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union to happen in china .. The west actually hoped for such confusions.. Hong Kong essentially is a typical example of colonialism with human face.. Not the type in Africa that was riddled with racism and cultural chauvinism..
very nice analysis. Its spot on.

1.The reason they were able to colonize us were the selfish leaders
2.Use the link in my signature for African inventions

If lagos was a country it would be part of the best economies in the world
Lagos is rich in human and Natural resources
And New York,London are very old cities that were largely built on slave labour
Conclusion:
Its not a Negroid problem
But I acknowledge that African leaders have been Selfish right from time

A confusing mixture of communism and capitalist “democracy”without universal suffrage
Hong Kong is part of China
And china operates communism
Hong Kong was colonised by Britain
So they still retain a form of capitalist democracy on paper
But in the real sense they operate on communism just like russia and North Korea

The tribalists and religionists of Nigeria will not like this.

Here, they believe that development refers to your blood brother being in power. Even if he can't spell Covid-19.

It's a bit unfair and it fails to acknowledge the sheer brilliance and hard work of the people of Hong Kong to write off their success as simply being the result of Western influence.

Other small countries like Singapore and Taiwan (which is de facto an independent country) have also to a large extent replicated the achievements of Hong Kong.
