How many African nations or Asian nations have most of those having this idea of Africa and Asians being impoverished visited? How long did you spend there to come up with these reducing claims? What parts of the nations was visited that a whole nation or continent well be related this way. No, it’s not so, that’s not the whole truth. Africans and Asians still live good lives and have got enjoyment of amenities as well. We still search for a means to make good amends for everyone but we understand it’s gradual.
We have problems and we would solve them!
Africans are good and very hardworking people but their political leaders are devils. They are sets of heatless people who don't care about the plight of the people. I can state categorically that the reason for the economic woes of Nigeria is not Western influence. Nigeria is not the only country that is been remotely controlled by the West but the country's condition is far worse than these nations. Let's assume that the West is stealing from Nigeria through diverse means, but the amount politicians steal from the country is enough to develop the nation.
A country that prides itself on being one of the top producers of oil and gas can't boast of good roads or a constant power supply. Yet politicians live in affluence, flaunting their wealth before the poor populace. The most painful part of the issue is that these poor citizens are deceived using religion, tribe, and political party affiliations. The citizens because of peanuts become tools by which these politicians use to oppress and impoverish the people. During elections, they vote based on tribal and religious lines regardless of the quality of the candidate. Africans still have hope of surmounting these problems but the first impediment to uproot should be bad leadership.
