This sums up what happened in Africa:


In short, the colonizers took everything of use from the African continent and then indirectly enslaved the native population by propagating two semitic religions. Now the Africans are the biggest defenders of these two religions, ready to die to defend their overlords in Vatican and Mecca.

If you take a look at Africa before colonialism. You will observe that the continent was doing great before colonialism took place.
They had enough to eat, they were living in joy and harmony. But Africa lost it when the white masters came to control  their lands and lives. They became slaves, those who refuse to obey the orders were killed.
That is what is affecting Africa, they are been controlled. I think Africa can do more better if they becomes independent.

I am the one

Did you know the two counties that have the largest economy today (USA and China) were colonized also? But you are right at one side that African countries were not capable to even repel the colonial invasion, which can be a guess reason though. But what about Ethiopia and Liberia that were not colonized? They both yet also still lacking behind today.
 
  Exactly let’s not apportion blames to our colonial masters Africans love making silly excuses for everything, trying to play politics with everything other great nations that are doing extremely good today were also colonized yet they rise above colony and being just slaves to their master forever. But most African countries still pay homage to their colonial masters till today, for example Nigeria 🇳🇬  Britain 🇬🇧 still decides for the government of Nigeria they still work hand in hand with the same British government that enslaved its people, the Nigerian president even go there for relaxation and medical care pathetic 💔.

The next 20 years could well be dominated by the effects of climate change... which will disproportionately affect poorer nations and those subject to population pressures, and those on the climate front-line... in many cases, those countries in Africa. I think this will act as a further inhibitor on the rise of Africa, particularly as many African nations still have rapidly increasing populations.

There's a fascinating dynamic visualisation here detailing each country's progression across the five stage demographic transition model... it's apparent that many African nations are earlier on in the process.




So far this was drawn by a man it can be proven wrong at any given time if only Africa comes together as one or better still treats it’s people well by providing the basis and making things/life easy for them Africa entirely would be the next UAE or CHINA. This is not magic we are talking reality here, forget this climate and transition model whatever if African leaders changes their perspectives and how they govern their people In less than no time Africa shall rise and be great again.

Because they were treated like animals by big European countries.Even now in every country there you have puppet leaders.Africa is holy grail of continents and that will prove in the next 20 years.

I disagree we weren’t treated like animals we cheated ourselves the enemy is within not far away like we always make it seem to be. I’m sorry to say this but if you get into power you will steal your part of the money and embezzle that’s the mentality yet we keep pointing accusing fingers to those in power. Also the youths of today don’t really participate in politics you know why? Because the old have refused to retire home to rest. It’s pathetic. Africa needs liberation.

Because Africa is full of corrupt leaders, because they do not depend on themselves but on other Continents. See the giant of Africa (Nigeria) that is lacking a lot behind, see the white Africans (North Africa) not capable of latest technologies again. All Africa people know is themselves and their families (nepotism), they do not careful about others (whites and many other countries do care about others). Our leaders that were there when Colonial Masters left the countries that became independent caused what is happening. The so called South Africa is better because the Apartheid makes the whites to mix with blacks, leading the nations to a greater level, that is why they still have the best economy in Africa.

The Continent (Africa) has good agricultural products, plenty mineral resources, what left is for them to use brain to set up countries that will be standard, but they are not capable. This has just being the beggining, if care is not taken, Africa will remain like this and become even more worse.

Africa countries are not capable to make phone products, computer, automobiles and the likes, they lack in technology. Can you even point out any successful coin made by Africa? For any of the Africa country to even get a local board on this forum is a problem. We need to think about the future, correct the mistakes of the past, depends more on our effort, then we will rise.

In Africa, their presidents and governors or anyone on official governmental seat will go abroad (outside Africa) for medical treatment, is that happening in other Continents? No. They are making their homes shit for their generations to come, the rich ones have their children green card abroad, some were even given birth to in abroad, and come back to Africa. These mentalities we are having in Africa has made Africa like this.

I see the work rested on the governments, but governments that its official sick and fly him abroad for treatment, is that the governments that are ready to help? They are just the governments that depends on importation because all they are using are imported, making life miserable for the citizens. With what I am seeing, I do not think any solution is coming soon, unless the young Africans do not be like their father that are there presently, but do you think they will not be like their father and yet make Africa not going forward.
 
You spoke well, I’m just having a rethink indeed African leaders are the cause of the backlash and non development in Africa, come to think of it no good health care in most countries in Africa especially Nigeria no good and standard school in Africa the standard of education is nothing to write home about exam malpractice everywhere the system is totally bad and my fear is the younger generation is already following the same steps.
