That is your opinion. I agree on DRC. They have all the ingredients to become Africa's superpower,the only thing missing is leadership.Population isn't a big factor of becoming a superpower. Like someone said,USA became a superpower with less population than India or China.Again,even SA was Africa's biggest economy with less people than Egypt, Nigeria,Ethiopia or DRC.
Leadership is a key.

By saying all that,I can surely say,Tanzania will be Africa's superpower

USA has a population of 300 million the highest in the western world, population plays a very large factor in being a superpower whether you like it or not,

Kazikazi:
Why you leave out a big boy Tz?

Abeg, pack well
I'm talking about "big men" not "big boys"

When did Tanzania arrive?

AskiaHarem:


That's the repeating problematic mindset I see time and time again from Africans everywhere. All many ever talk about is NATURAL RESOURCES but fail to understand if you lack the HUMAN RESOURCES to match aka BRAINS it's useless. Japan lacks any substantial amount of resources yet there in the top 5 economies, arguably the most advanced country with one of the highest living standards on Earth. Yea they work themselves to suicidal levels of depression and they got very favorable trade deals especially from the US but you get my point. If Japan with there current level of Human Resources had 25% the amount of Natural Resources Africa has and they decided to go Imperial again the rest of the world would be Fcked!

Yes its in brains! And you can't get those human resources without good leadership,that's why I mentioned earlier on,the DRC lacks leadership. Their massive natural resources is a booster!
Anyone can be a superpower as long as you gets your acts right( leadership),but if every African nation has a good leadership, a guy with more natural resources and favorable geographic position has more advantages.

the day Ghana becomes a threat to France in ecowas, you would have an Insurgency that would take a bulk of your money...western togoland would be used to distabilize GH. Then Cote d'ivoire would mock you all day and night.

I said it before I'll say it again if ISIS in Africa set there sites on Ghana today via the north of the country, Kumasi and Accra would be overrun come January and Nana would be getting beheaded live on Tv by the end of the month assuming he hadn't already fled the country.

IGpro1:
alright if that would make you sleep this night Hobbit.

A country that owns 70% of Ecowas population, 70% of Ecowas GDP, 65% of the military personnel in Ecowas... More industries than all Ecowas countries combined...65% of all industrial and manufacturing activities in Ecowas, shouldn't stoop low to compare even a state with Dwarfs.

My last reply to a Hobbit, heck even your president is a weird Hobbit

Where's your evidence?

65% GDP?
65% of Industry and Manufacturing?

You speak like a road side pig

Central Africa needs deliverance
How can a whole Region not have Regional Power?

They are gradually becoming a backward yard.
Their leaders are the worst on the Continent.

Look at Cameroon? They recently got their first "Mall" and the videos on YouTube are an eyesore. People are just falling off from the escalator left right center.

Countries like
DRC
Cameroon should be up and doing.

The Central Africans have no one here to defend themselves. Chill

When did Tanzania arrive?

The question you should ask yourself is..
What will prevent TZ from being Africa's superpower?
What is really missing to stop TZ from being africas superpower?

May be you were in a hurry to comment,but a deep thinking will give many answers to what am saying.

Let me give you a hint...

Do you know,besides good leadership and resources, most or all of superpowers which have emerged in this world were having other things in common which most people are unaware of?

Most of them had these in common...
Having a very united nation
Having a one common language
They never used a foreign language in their schools
They had a very high level of internal peace

The total GDP of west Africa is 618 billion dollars meanwhile Nigerians gdp is 448 billion dollars do the math although it isn’t exactly 65% it is definitely over 50%

Like Madagascar and Mauritania?

Western Togoland is never a problem in Ghana so sleep.

It's the sitting Government that wanted to scare the people in that Region so they can reduce the voter turnout in that Region.

All the Western Togoland study groups and the chiefs in that enclave came out strongly against the trouble makers in that Region.

It turned out that those trouble makers were not from that Region so some traditional leaders from that part of Ghana invoke curses on those behind that stupidity.

Since the curses were invoked we've not heard any Western Togoland issue.

Western Togoland is not a threat to Ghana, the only threat Ghana faces is the ruling Government, they can do the worst to keep power.

gallivant:


Like Madagascar and Mauritania?

But I mentioned first of good leadership and resources! Are you blind?

Your Madagascar has leadership issues just like Mauritania.
Your Mauritania is a French colony just like Madagascar

Tanzania has ''good leadership" and all that you mentioned. Why is Tanzania not a super power?

Abohboy:


USA has a population of 300 million the highest in the western world, population plays a very large factor in being a superpower whether you like it or not,

Population can be a big factor if the difference is very huge between nations. But in Africa,we are not far apart as far as population is concerned.
Look at Nigeria, they have 200m souls,while Egypt and Ethiopians are both over 100m each. The DRC,TZ and SA are below 100m but are all above 60m each. No one in Africa has a gigantic population to speak of.

It will be the next superpower,that is what I claimed.

Waste no time on this " Tanzania becoming Superpower in Africa" cos it ain't happening anytime soon.

Why not Tanzania becoming the Dubai or Singapore of Africa in the nearest future?

Well Ghana dreams of becoming the future UK/
Germany/Japan/Canada/Denmark/Australia/ Belgium/Switzerland or Denmark but not the Superpower.

Yes,TZ wants to have high level of developments like your Singapore. But we are also gonna be a superpower. All the ingredients we have them.Actually everything needed is in our side. And all the pointers are pointing at this very same thing of TZ emerging as Africa's newest superpower.

Okay I see.

Ecowas 618 B

Nigeria 448 B
Ghana 68 B
Cote D. 61 B
Senegal. 21 B
Burkina F. 14 B
Benin. 12 B
Mali. 12 B
Niger. 10 B + 8 other countries

Calculate and strike the percentage

do you really know what a super power is, look at AU today, whoever has a say in the Sub region is a regional power... Hope you ain't thinking Communism will make you a big player in Africa? It takes Culture to drive influence.

Egypt will destroy SA, u wouldn't see the dust of their blast.

We're talking of a country ranked at number 9 in the world.

on paper yes in an actual war.....niether can invade the other, however SA would have a much more efficient fighting force thanks to exponentially better communication systems like linkZA, impi bluefor tracker, chaka C4 ect ect.... Egypt on the other hand have the numerical advantage.

do Singapore or Switzerland have comparable economic size and population to the US?........no they don't learn what context is.

Bro Egypt will pound you till Shaka the Zulu your foster slave King resurrects and again pummeled to the under world... Egypt will change the landscape of SA to valley... Table mount will enter the ground. Bro, SA will implode and explode same time..choose your words wisely.

With their 2 submarines escorting 3frigates and their helicopter carrier cruising behind would suffocate you. 1 Rafael will pummel you butterfly sanctuary to Pretoria then Capetown and finally joburg..then the Su will be sitting in malemas palour while, the migs will help deportthe boers back to where ever they came from.

Let's leave this matter please..

You want to leave these discussions because am not talking what you love to hear.

From the very beginning I have mentioned about leadership which Tz is just doing OK. I mentioned about resources and geographic location,advantages again for TZ.Then there are those minor things,I mentioned about unity within the nation,having a common language,a long lasting internal peace which TZ has,I mentioned about language used at schools.

For most folks,they think you can became a superpower by just having resources, that's why when they talk of superpower story,they will mention SA,Egypt and Nigeria.
But a quick look at things,something will tell you how hard and impossible it is for a nation to be a real power with a lot of internal conflicts,internal misunderstanding, or not being united as a nation. That's why I doubt SA or naijas chances of being a real superpower in Africa.The same thing I doubt about Ethiopian chances.
Am surprised by folks who doubt about TZ! Its funny seeing a guy believing so much on other nations just because the said nations are exporting oil and gas which TZ don't do at the moment.(but TZ has a lot of it waiting for extraction)
