The relationship between Africa and the Western world has been complex and controversial, and accusations of hypocrisy are not uncommon. Some argue that the Western world has historically exploited Africa's resources and people, while claiming to promote democracy, human rights, and development.
Experience is the master teacher, you cannot expect a developed country or nation that is more than one thousands decades in existance compared to any African countries yet to gain half of this years of experience and creation, also you have to recall that it was civilization that brought about independency as most of the African countries were initially colonized by the Western nations.
One example of this is the legacy of colonialism, which left many African countries with a legacy of economic and political instability. Despite the end of formal colonization, some argue that Western countries have continued to exert influence over African nations through economic policies, aid, and military intervention.
You're being colonized inbtheboast is not the reason for your poor economic performance in any way, what then transpired after the independence of many of these colonized nations when they they finally get their independency, the problem is that Africans might be independent by virtue but not truly independent because they all depends on these same colonial countries for their economy survival and they lack the ability to lead in such capacity that the colonial nation had lead them when in power.
