Topic: Africa isn't poor - Africa is being raped. - page 3. (Read 1139 times)

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?

i think that's happen in my country too, indonesia.
in indonesia, we've lot of natural resource but most of our natural resources being "raped" by foreign mining companies.

Africa blame other continent for their predicament failing to understand that the problem of Africa is an internal problem they blame the white for colonizations but failing to understand that the real colonization is they mental slavery mentality couple with lack of good leaders and follower's.

the problem in africa is that manufacturers, are outside of africa and they are in minority and have no access to capital.

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?

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

See Japan on the charts I have posted..


then why don't they just go mine them instead of this? https://youtu.be/_dwvzXdy9PA

Have 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..

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..

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Africa really has alot of solid mineral and great deposit of oils and gold but the citizens are the poorest around the world.  Africa is raped by the world power and most of the leaders has been bought up by the world power.  However,  I strongly believe that recovering and salvation is going to happen one day.

        

None of this means anything if the continent can't become more civilized than Western Sahara.

Op has given a detailed description about Africa and its wealth which were taken by the foreign countries. Africa has got all wealth, but the lack of power in their hands and the caste issue has made them to be slaves. This has continued for a long, and when the people realized about the scenario everything has gone out of hands.

Lack of knowledge from the residents caused the foreign countries to take all the resource from their country and making them as poor even when they have lot of wealthy resources on their land.

I think so as well. Though i think it's leaders are doing a very good job in suppressing the people and using africa's rich resources to keep themselves in power. The people there should be educated as well. It's been too long that africa is seen as the overly deprived country with dying children in the streets. They have the resources but their leaders doesn't seem to be interested in making this country better.

When the countries don't have skillful leaders and the current rulers won't care about their country's future and citizen are getting bribed in millions from those foregins countries to steal all those wealth from them.So choosing the right leader is the only to make countries better.

I don't call Africa poor because Africa is more like of my country, Philippines. And in my country, we were also got raped by our leaders. My country is being surrounded with many forms of water, yet we still got water shortage on all places. My country has the finest land of all and you can plant rice on rice fields and you can get abundant harvest yet, we still need to import a lot of rice form different countries. My country has a lot of resources, yet we are not the miners of our own lands, it is always the foreigners. My country consists of 7000+ lands, yet we are not the businessmen of our own to produce works for my countrymen. Well, we still more like of your country. We're the same.

so how did they actually reach those places in Africa which most don't even have internet connection? how was the IQ exam conducted again? and assuming this image is accurate as well as your statement which concludes  "Poverty is directly related to IQ", then why do high IQ countries lunch wars for Oil and natural resources? why send a dozen of people with high IQ to kill dozen of people with low IQ for Oil ?

not sure which IQ frequency i have to tune in to understand the logic  

I think someone who has an average IQ score would figure this shit out by themselves

now let me break it down  to you real simple.

Most African countries are still colonized, after WW2 the nature of colonization has changed, you do not need to have troops on ground, just control the government, create some opposition armed troops, create parallel armies and protect the government , grab them by the balls and take full control of resources, and should you lose control, launch a war against them in the name of war against terror/protection of civilians,mass destruction weapons and the list goes on.

There are many examples out there, the latest was Libya.

it was on a roll, Gadaffi decided to take full control and not supply Italy and some other countries with cheap/free gas and oil , he was also planning on building major harbors that would take a huge cut from the EU sea trade, as well as one of the largest airports in the region, these and many other reasons put EU in some competition danger, they tried to negotiate with him, he refused, they made up all sort of lies and B.S about him, "NATO flew 26,500 sorties" just to "protect innocent people who gaddafi suddenly after 42 years decided to kill   " and you all know the rest of the story " i suppose ".

and they will do the same shit to every government that tries to take full control of it's country's resources, because they need those resources, IQ alone means NOTHING.

Libya has been going through a mess for the past 8 years, ISIS were all over the place, not a single gas/oil field was touched    almost everything has stopped at one point (hospitals, markets, airports ,etc,,) but not a single gas / oil pipe that delivers to EU or "sells" to U.S was touched.

use some simple logic, and you should be able to understand how things actually work, and trust me, they are usually way different from what your local news tell you.

I would not go to as far as the OP tho, yes we as people take a large chunk of responsibility , we can't deny it, but sure as hell it has nothing to do with us having  low IQ, it's more like the "High IQ countries" still occupy our lands.
