I laugh at my continent when foreigners call us poor. You make a statement online about the continent or any country in it and the first thing that comes to people mind is "That poor country or poor continent". Who is to be blamed for all these, it isn't just the leaders anymore but the people are to be held responsible because they voted those leaders into power. The image below shows you how wealthy Africa is and if she wasn't being raped she would had been the richest continent on earth. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FnBUQ6N7.jpg&t=665&c=hT-_WXoeD8zYwA) What my continent have failed to realized is that power won't be given to you unless you fight for it. If the world was a fair one most African countries would had been among world leading country but instead we get treated like slaves and our wealth is been enjoy by other continents. What a shame From the marvel movie "Blackpanther" i believe the solution to the continent (Africa) problem is to act as the past Kings of wakanda did with their natural resource: Vibranium, they should learn to manage their resources themselves and later they can sell finish products to the outside world.Africa is not poor. Africans are. To develop and manufacture new products you need scientists, engineers, IT guys, business managers. What the "Blackpanther" movie portrayed was pure utopia. What Africans can hope for is to go the Chinese route (attract foreign investment), but one crucial ingredient is missing: education. Chinese communist education system is among the top education systems in the world. Africans don't have a world-class education system, that is why they will never be able to compete on the world stage unless they tackle that issue first. You really think communist china is spending billions of $ in the 3rd world out of good will and welfare?No wonder the west is short before its downfall... I guess time to immigrate east and accept the loss. China benefited from the greed of Western corporations. It was a mistake by Western governments to allow this shift of Western capital and infrastructure to China. Militarily, a really stupid mistake. Now we see the aftermath. China is flexing its financial muscle all over the world, buying up resources, real-estate all around the world, from Africa to South and North America. They don't give a flying puck about the long-term welfare of the subservient countries, whether it is Ecuador, Ghana or Canada.
They are investing heavily in the industrial sector in Africa. Just like the West was investing in China since the late 1980s. Do I think China cares about the welfare of Africans? Probably they do care a bit. Just like the slave masters 200 years ago did care about their slaves so that they do not die in large numbers. Africans are the resource.

Of a truth Africa isint poor . Take for example my country Nigeria.... Nigeria is a country bleesed with abundance of natural resources. The challenge of Nigeria is the kind of leaders she is bleesed with. Leaders with no vision for the country, leaders who are only interested in their pockets and those of their kitties, leaders who are unpatriotic to the cause of the nation, leaders who are so selfish and greedy that even the devil Marvel's at the level of their greed. Nigeria is richer than so many developed countries but bad leadership make it seem poor.

Erm ever heard of Japan? A resource-poor country with a feudal society that was FORCED to open up and trade with Westerners. Industrialized within a few decades, conquered pretty much most of East Asia and Southeast Asia, got nuked to defeat, still a big economy. Resources are not everything.
Also never forget that Africans sold each other as slaves to whites centuries before Europeans even thought of colonizing the continent. I believe every place is fucked up in its own special way but Africa IMHO is fucked up in more ways than others.
Anyway, stop babbling and catch up with Asia (which also happened to have suffered colonialism but is faring better by comparison).

The leaders in Africa are the main cause of the problems in the continent. Unlike politics in the western world, most of the leaders in Africa enter politics to enrich themselves to the detriment of the citizens. It is time for people with the right mindset to lead politics in Africa because the political leaders are the real people raping the continent.

Nigeria is officially a democratic country right? So who is responsible for picking the right leaders? People should also need to be in long vision while picking the right leader when they want to be a better place in future.

See Japan on the charts I have posted.. Take for example my country Nigeria.... Nigeria is a country bleesed with abundance of natural resources. The challenge of Nigeria is the kind of leaders she is bleesed with.

then why don't they just go mine them instead of this? https://youtu.be/_dwvzXdy9PAHave you seen this stuff yourself? How bad is it really in your direct experience? Same with India. Just stop throwing stuff in your rivers already! The people have to stop making such poor decisions, like polluting, for shortsighted reasons of convenience.. This stuff pisses me off a bit. they ban straws in the US so they can't end up in the ocean, but africa and asia are the ones dumping everything in the oceans, ruining it for EVERYONE.. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fapeuk.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F01%2FGlobalProblem-Top10Sources-1.png&t=665&c=NDtlLg9ue9qRug) Knock it off!! What is your experience with this in nigeria? You can't even burn a regular woodstove in europe but africa and asia have fields of plastic on fire.. It must be a cultural difference.. Here, if some people out boating, hiking, swimming, fishing or hunting caught you throwing trash in a river I imagine you would be lucky to only have the police called on you and be thrown in jail. We would very much want to stomp their face but most of us are pretty civilized so their would be a half chance of that not happening..

Africa is just used to being on its knees , I also think that this continent is very rich in minerals, I think if the authorities were those leaders who could develop very much and sell for a lot of money they would be ahead of Europe many times , In Russia, this situation is due to the fact that the dictatorship in power , and a lot of corruption, the country is very far behind

Corruption is already on its core, a newly elected president like Duterte has to make drastic move to eradicate the corrupted officials and probably kill who ever deserves to. Africa is a black men's country, if you are a white man I think you really aren't from that country. You're great grand pop migrate there hence white men are there too. Am I wrong with this?

Saw a recent post saying Africans are been help too much well I don't think so, instead what I see is the so called helpers taking advantage of the continent Africa all in the name of helping them. When you want to help someone you teach them how to fish not by giving them fish. These nations help with their right hand and take away more with their left hand, you call that help?

Africa need the help of the developed countries to survive in every aspects, take for example some of the African countries after gaining independent go straight into civil war what is the cause of this, the answer is simple greedy leaders who know nothing to how to steal government found without providing the necessary infrastructure that will enable development.

I have a friend in Ethiopia. He and his family have been living there for more than 10 years, now. Ethiopia alone has, like, 70 different tribal nations within it. And a whole bunch of them are against the others. Another friend has been there (Africa) with his big guns. He favors Central African Republic, or Mozambique, because he and his buddies have the guns... although that is changing somewhat. When you get a few shrewd African leaders who have brains, they make a whole bunch of money helping other nations to African wealth, often slave wealth. Check out "Tippu Tip, or Tippu Tib (1832 – June 14, 1905), real name Hamad bin Muhammad bin Juma bin Rajab el Murjebi... " - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tippu_Tip. Africa has a wealth of stupidity that won't allow them to unite against the rest of the world. Clive Cussler wrote a novel, Sahara, that shows you what it is all about. Check out the movie at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318649/. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) EDIT: And check out Western Sahara, a country that is so dumb that they can't even form their own nation. Morocco is gradually taking it over. But Mauritania, who said they withdrew their claims decades ago, is moving back along the SouthWest border of WS. And even Algeria wants a piece of the action, although they won't say it formally. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Sahara. EDIT 2: The life of Tippu Tib - https://archive.org/stream/cu31924028752644/cu31924028752644_djvu.txt.

I laugh at my continent when foreigners call us poor.
One way to see if a place is "poor" or "rich" is to see how well they have preserved their most valuable things. If a people are poor, they have to sell the family heirlooms. The most valuable things on the planet are: the arable land, the healthy rivers and ecosystems, the biodiversity. These are without a doubt the gems which are not a fad but are irreplaceable. Some places on the earth have turned themselves into deserts such as the midwest USA, deforested, killed the river dolphins, etc, different problems all over. Looking at the map, it appears that much of Africa has had the wherewithal to not destroy itself with industrialization and suburbatardation. In this regard, I see the African continent as perhaps the wealthiest on the planet.

Africa has a lot of miniral resources,but the western and Asian countries are milking it resources,drastic action need to be taken
This is good. Why? Because most of the Africans aren't interested in advancing to the status of humanitarian, where they progress to using African resources for themselves. Somebody should use the natural resources. If Africans won't, why just let the resources sit there? Rather, let someone else develop them. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

They let other government decide for their future so they decide to rape them. What African countries need are people who has nationalism and has compassion to its people but has the political will of the Xi Jin Ping. Right now they flood the people with democracy being good but what does it do if without boundaries? The Chinese are already starting to help these nations though, these are the good guys. They are not going to kill your presidents.

Name me some African brands... Natural resources aren't indicators of country wealth ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Given the state of the continent it's probably a good indicator of mismanagement and political corruption.

That is to confirm that African continent is rich but the major problem that has led to her underdevelopment is foreign countries coming to reap where they have not plants anything in the of they are coming to help her.
