Africa was very rich (in food and natural resources) and content, until white people came to corrupt the land.

They deceived the black man into believing and accepting that true wealth should be measured by how much paper (currency) one possesses.

They succeeded in making Africa poor (especially mentally).

somebody came to tell you. One umbrella is worth 100 slaves, one ogogoro bottle is worth 30 slaves. You accepted but you still want to blame the white man. No accountability 🥱

Thank God for the white men
This is the siIliest way to measure wealth as you cant even assign true value to a bunch of these things in relative to other non-food resources

Trying to accrue wealth in this format would even lead to unneccessary buying up and owning of resources in a repetitive form, all in a bid to outdo others and to prove you are the wealthiest


The whites prolly got a lot of things wrong with us, but definitely not this
