Why Africa Never Developed Technologically Despite All The Secrets We Know by HardMirror(m): 7:26am On Nov 07, 2016
The answer is Ego.

Yes, Africa would have developed far faster than the Europeans, in fact the whites should have been learning from us by now, but we lie a lot all because we want to be worshiped by our fellow men.

Moses learnt the secret arts of the Egyptians and used it to deceive the Isrealites. Particularly with the ark of covenant.

The ark of covenant is proof that africans have been building capacitors (batteries) long before Alexandra Volta.
www.electricancientegyptians.com/blog/uncategorized/ark-of-the-covenant-as-a-powerful-electrical-capacitor/
Check the link and you will discover moses learned the design from Egypt and not from "god"
Don't forget he grew up in Egypt and Egypt was one of the oldest and advanced civilization. Moses did not go back to his illiterate people to tell them he learned anything from Egypt, but he used their ignorance to his advantage.

This is exactly what our Babalawo's, herbalists, medicine men do. They are the supposed scientists of Africa, but they behave exactly like moses. Seeking recognition and reverence from their fellow men. They want to be seen as special. So when they discover any herb or poison, they disguise the whole thing, complicate the whole process and tell you they are specially connected to the gods. They ask you to bring goats, palm oil, red cloth etc all because they want to cure you of malaria. At the end they give you the real cure ( medicinal herbs and roots) but they would have complicated the whole process, adding many rituals to make it seem they are doing something special that only them can do.


Compared to the Europeans who share their scientific discoveries and never claim that the gods are working through them. They made their scientific discoveries open and questionable so that they can be improved.
but not Africans, once a Herberlist discovers the cure to a disease (By trial and error) he won't share it with others, he does not want other people to scrutinize his discovery and methods. They give spiritual excuses for their failures and make sure you cannot question their lapses. They don't improve on their methods because they give no room to be challenged. They spiritualize everything.



Our hunters have great knowledge of animals even more than the white zoologists in developed countries. But instead of being plain with their observations of the animals they encounter, they exaggerate their stories so that you will hail them as brave hunters.



Imagine that guns where invented in Africa, they would have claimed it was a spiritual weapon.

Imagine if bombs were invented in Africa, they would have claimed it was spiritual.

Imagine if mobile phones where invented in Africa, they would have claimed it was spiritual


They would have attached so many rituals to their operations to complicate the whole thing and make the user more confused so people won't ever know the knowledge behind it's operation.


We keep our discoveries secret and spiritualize them so people would think we are special. This is why Africa ended up being colonized, this is why we never developed. Europeans were being honest with their discoveries and making them public so others can contribute to what they discover and there by improve.



An african herbalist would not admit he is ignorant of some things. Out of pride he would keep pretending he can't cure an illness because the gods want the victim to die. Instead of being honest and them studying the illness. While the Europeans were busy collaborating their efforts not pretending to know it all, our own herbalists were busy pretending to have all answers.

Instead of studying how Lightening/thunder works, they wld tell you it is Sango (god of thunder) punishing you. Europeans were busy studying how Lightening works and today we all use lightening conductors to keep our homes from going up in flames during thunder storms.

We are doing the same thing all over again. Some people drank methanole in Ondo town and died from terrible side effects, we were out sacrificing chicken to the gods, in 2015! Geez, instead of studying what happened we already jumped into conclusion without research.

This is how pastors, traditional doctors, Alfas and their ilks keep fooling us and we never bother to research to understand, learn and develop lasting proven solutions.

Food for thought.

The same way a Nigerian pastor would say his school's fee was ordained by God instead of explaining that as a Private Institution, the government do not pay your workers, the government do not build your structures and they sure don't equip your school with the adequate facilities neither do they maintain your school and that as a business person what really matters is the profit (and customer's satisfaction).

But you know it has to be spiritualised so that it doesn't get scrutinized.

Moreover, u seem to accuse africans of not doing research and yet u arrived at some conclusions without u yourself doing research.

The whites were able to understand the importance of sharing discoveries and not spiritualizing them. Africans still make everything spiritual and give excuses instead of being honest. We prefer to blame spirits that can't speak to defend themselves instead of taking responsibilities

You obviously don't know history and don't care to, else you won't be asking me this question. Check out the history of every scientist that we enjoy their discoveries today, how they shared their knowledge and discoveries openly unlike their african counterparts that prefer to be celebrated for hoarding their discoveries. We can name scientists from 12th century, 15th century, 20th century from europe, name africans that contributed anything to the scientific knowledge we have today from those centuries.. NONE! Why? It's not because they did not have scientific discoveries, they do, but they prefer hoarding their knowledge and making it all spiritual. Use ur brain and stop asking me silly questions

He was just fooling the isrealites and using them to create his own kingdom, but most likely joshua silently poisoned him and claimed it was god that killed him.

I believe them to a great extent, but the power of a story is in how it is told. They are highly exaggerated, to put in the God factor to make them seem special and chosen. When you read between the lines you will get a good grip of the true story and the motives behind the lies added

One day very soon, you will realise that your gods the white people, are nobodies. The only reason they are on top is because God has empowered them to rule over His creation.

They are only empowered to be on top for only a while, they will not be on top forever.

The real owners of the universe are the black people and our devolution is to teach us a lesson in humility: that God is over all and above all and is ABSOLUTELY SOVEREIGN over the affairs of the universe.

You may continue drooling over your white gods until the scales are removed from your eyes and your understanding is returned to you. It is allowed.
