Will African countries be developed?

[shoreno]

Eventually they will, what is great about our earth is that if you plant seeds, and if you take care of it, that will grow and prosper, there is no reason why not to. I know this is hard and people have been trying that for decades but this is something that will take a long time and it will eventually happen.

I disagree with your optimistic view in this case. It's definitely not something inevitable. The current world scenario is getting bleaker with every passing minute thanks to factors like Pandemics, Climate Change, Shortage of resources etc.

These factors are the primary reason why even the most developed countries in the world like the USA, UK etc fear the future.

Do you really think Africa will suddenly transform with time ignoring these huge factors? If anything, their situation could get worse over time. The only way their situation will improve is if these gargantuan problems get minimized over time.

It looks like too impossible to happen but we can’t tell the exact future of them because of greedy countries who took advantage on the African countries even before the pandemic, so its really hard to tell even if they adopted cryptocurrency not unless they make a good progress every year and build a more giant city for businesses. Africa is a huge continent and if they make a strong relationship within their territory, buy most of their local products then there’s still a chance for them to grow, but its hard to achieve it in the next decade.

achieving something is hard and it makes harder when there are obstacles on the path .  the time that we are in right now can be an example for that but you said this country africa has a strong relationship ? that is good and they can use that as an advantage .

its a huge country and people on here are known to be kind , they can unite and fight as one so that other countries cant be succesful on thier plans for taking over this country .

Nope, they won’t be developed, because they have bad leaders

It is not about their leaders. Their leaders are only a mirror of their people. It is always like that. If the overall education levels of the Arfican people raise, then stupid leaders won't get elected. Till then, no development for them.

[verita1]

As you mentioned, Africa has everything to be a developed continent. You just have to eradicate the evils of society such as corruption and nepotism and that is achieved by implementing true policies that help its development. Africa must continue to fight firmly for equity so that development opportunities reach all.

[panganib999]

Yes of course. African countries can do undergo certain developments, although it would take time, but still they can be capable and possible to be developed as long as they are open to undergo certain processes since they are a rich continent that have plenty of natural resources. They must just need to better know how they are going to make use of it to be able to make their countries progress and gain certain developments.

Based on the information stated by the OP, they are rich in natural resources but they lack on knowledge because not all are given the privilege to have a decent and proper education. If that would be resolved on people being educated, surely they will become knowledgeable on certain things that can make their economy rise by using their natural resources available in their surrounding. Also, change in the governance will do since all are starting from a great leader to lead its people on creating programs to nourish its people with education and provide them all their needs to become productive so they can have a needed man power to create a better nation using their resources present in their continent. Development will come and happen only if they want it to come. The key for their development lies on their hands and they just need to work it out to get along with the other continents around them.

The corrupts leaders knew how to manoeuvre those teeming poverty stricken and unemployed masses during electioneering campaigns they politicians always entices their voters  i.e people even with their high level of education with money thus ensuring wining at all cost in some instances they bribed electoral bodies to rig election for them.
Africans has a long way in getting out of this underdevelopment mess unless those bad leaders are get rid off else the continent will continue undeveloped except some few countries who trying to get developed however developed countries are always enticed with untapped raw minerals resources in African which they can import to their countries.

[The cure]

Africa are blessed with their natural resources, they have big potential to be developed all they need is unity to raise their standard of living. If only they could change the view of their officials and focus on the importance of education for their people. When someone governs them properly, it will probably change the way of their living.

Even though many African countries today are poor, that does not mean that no African country will become rich countries.
Considering that African natural resources are among the best, it only needs good management so that African natural resources
can utilized for the economic progress of African countries. I am sure that African countries will become developed countries.

[Zemomtum]

African countries can be developed faster than ever imagined if the right set of leaders are in the position of power. African has no issue  than corrupted leader and dictatorship. But, things will soon be changes when youth get involved in politics

Indeed. The African countries has a chance to become one of the developed country in the future because they do have a lot of natural resources that they could use it to developed a new technology and make exchanges to other countries who has limited natural resources. Also, if African countries has a good leader that has no issue when it comes to corruption, it will be more faster for them to developed.

[naikturun]

actually now it depends on human resources. If they want to improve, then no matter how bad the natural resources are, it will definitely be increased.
it's just a matter of ego and self.
because they think it's better to think about yourself than have to take care of others.
I believe Africa will thrive if handled by the right people, starting from the smallest thing.

[Granxis]

African countries have underground and natural beauties and riches, when they use this they will become more livable, development has different meanings in my mind, so African countries are very difficult to develop in the near future.
Europe, America, Asia, Oceania countries have some advantages.

[Xembin]

African as a whole was among  the best developed in the world, some years back.  But, right now they have failed to increase human experience and awareness of the world around him.if  African can avoid  corruption or see corruption as an evil to them, they can still be among the best countries in the world.

Africa is a home of so many species and good natural resources, they must consume it right so they can see big progress. Cryptocurrency can’t help Africa to grow that much especially of their own government is against about it. Africa is a developing country, we saw some progress but that’s not enough. I see Africa in the next 20 years soaring just like many countries in Asia.

Some years back? Definitely not. For the last few thousands of years, Africa has lagged behind in development. Initially the human civilization developed in China, India, Egypt, Japan and Mesopotamia. Europe was lagging behind but the renaissance during the middle ages allowed them to catch up. There were well developed civilizations in the new world (Aztecs, Mayas and Incas), but these were destroyed by the Europeans. Africa was nowhere in the picture.

I have repeatedly said that it is the uncontrolled population explosion in Africa which is preventing the development. If half the population remains as children, then the dependency ratio increases and the governments will be burdened with increasing pressure to allot more and more resources to education and skill development. If they could slow down the population growth, then it will be easier for the governments to provide education and healthcare to everyone.

I don't think the population increase is causing any of the hindrances to the development as a country, if they are kids the funds needed is going to be lesser and the returns they are going to get is huge but the country is getting poorer because they are getting looted by various countries and their own leaders.

I think in the future, African countries will progress in development, but their growth will be stagnant because many African countries are trapped in the 5.0 colonialism carried out by China through the OBOR project. So that the development carried out will not significantly improve the welfare of the African population. With OBOR, China binds African countries in the long run and falls into China's debt trap.

Many individuals think the continent Africa lack the leaders that can drive economy and bring about the continuous development but having a good leader is just one of the many problem to be solve. Until everyone have the right mentality and help also in building and contributing their own quota, things might not change. Nigeria for instance, have more than 100 mineral resources in abundant, yet 27.1% which 21.7 million Nigerian remain unemployed https://nairametrics.com/2020/08/14/breaking-nigeria-unemployment-rate-jumps-to-27-1/.

Population increase is just used as a tool that's been used to hide the money loot and other forms of corruption happening within the country. Leadership qualities are being destroyed by the countries that want the African countries to stay under their control. In African countries there is lack of education which is also a reason for the lacking of development, at the same time there are well educated people from Africa. This is happening, as rich only can get good education in Africa.

When people are struggling for food and basic needs they can't imagine about studying and that is how their politicians keep those people in their control, but now they are trying to step out from these traps in very small and when they days passes the numbers will increase for sure.

When youth start to realized and care about their country, such mentalities will change everything inside this land.

Once people begins to look for right leaders to guide them, they have every resources in terms of natural ones.

It will only possible to make a good use of it, when leaders shows real concern from what the county's lacking in, leaders
who are genuinely cares with his jurisdictions and not just aiming for powers to dictate, and to grab every opportunities
to continue being rich and live a life in a luxurious ways.
