A continent with so much mineral resources yet so little development to show for it.






Japan and so many western countries do not even have one tenth of what many African countries are endowed with yet they are a Millon miles ahead in terms of development.

Do you know that 80% of the metals, brass, copper, steel etc used for manufacturing of the ballistic weapons and ammunitions during World War 1 (WW1) was excavated from Africa, and Congo was the major host from the exploitation.

Since independence, Botswana has had one of the fastest growth rates in per capita income in the world. Botswana has transformed itself from one of the poorest countries in the world to an upper middle-income country. GDP per capita grew from $1,344 in 1950 to $15,015 in 2016.

Brown silica in your house will not turn to something of value by itself, it would need first and formost knowledge on how to turn it into something of value and then machinery and capital.
First our knowledge base is faulty as African to to school to learn to speak English and acquire administrative knowledge to serve the western demands and needs. Then we have not even started the road to industrialisation by building relevant infrastructures. Finally, the capital for developing the relevant manpower and building infrastructure is just not available. So we are confined to selling raw materials without adding any value.

I can't say for the rest of Africa.

But Nigeria had a chance with the 70s oil boom.
To use the inflow of capital to expand its manufacturing and other industry, but this is where the human factor came in.
Our leaders lacked vision, and the embezzling killed that opportunity.

And there is the conspiratorial possiblity, that Africa is intentionally being kept poor and prevented from manufacturing, because if it were to start manufacturing, that would mean that the cost goods for the developed world will substantially go up.

But a lot of previously poor Asian countries were able to get themselves out of a similar situation. As an aunt of mine would say "Did those people have two heads?"

Nigeria stood no chance to expand its manufacturing and industrial base in the 70s despite the oil boom. Why? Because the leaders we had that were incidentally British trained were not equipped with the knowledge and skills of building a self sustaining industrialized country. Take a look at the leadership then Gowon, Garba, Buhari, etc. These guys were all in their early 30s, some in their late 20s. Most had no experience or training whatsoever in administration or governance. With the oil boom, they could not build universities, power stations, railways, roads and bridges or even airports. Yet Gowon could declare then that our problems was not money but how to spend it.

You cannot compare us to Asian countries. Asian countries already had structured and advanced societies. Most Asian countries were not completely colonized and exploited the way it was done in Africa, because Europe did not need raw materials from Asia. Asians were not made to hate each other with the same divide and rule tactics the Europeans employed in Africa.

African leaders who are ready to lose their lives to better their people and reject foreign exploitation will just do that. He would be killed in a coup sponsored by foreign powers or he will be disposed. Ask Kwame Nkrumah, ask Gaddafi, ask Sankara, ask Lulumba. Mandela was able to survive and celebrated because he did not disrupt the system.

You make a good point. I didn't consider that

Although on the exploitation subject, India I would argue had, it as bad or even worse than Nigeria.

Now the deal is, since we know some of the problems and their origins.
Does a solution, or at least a path out exist?
Or is Africa doomed for the foreseeable future?
