Topic: Will African countries be developed? - page 8. (Read 1654 times)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 and they can’t even stand up against these days. They are still waiting for who would do it for them. If the people there don’t rise up against their corrupt leaders, I’m sorry to say this, but their countries will continue to remain as it is.

Their leaders won’t build good hospitals, rather they will abandon their hospitals because they have the money to fly to developed countries and receive proper treatments. Their leaders don’t even build good schools for them or pay their teachers when their supposed, trust me I know very well about this. They send their kids to live abroad in the big countries, it’s only the poor Africans that suffers while the rich men and politicians enjoy life. African countries won’t be developed because their leaders are the demons holding them in chains. If they can rise up against their leaders, then things will get better for them.

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.

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.

The thing that I can think can make change of Africa's situation is (1) having a great leader that would lead them to success because as we all know that most African people are uneducated due to social status and lack of financial to support education, having a great leader that is not corrupt and committed to serve his people would change the people perceive that they are a poor individual that compose a poor country.

(2) Having a good educational system that will embody all African people towards learning because they already have all the resources (natural) they need what they are just lacking is the knowledge on how to enrich those and how they can make use of it to lift up their economic status to be able to get along with the other continents of the world.

(3) Having a great leader of course in need of good cabinet which will composed a good government that will lead its people. A country lacking good governance will not progress because diverse mentality of people might just ruin the country since no one is making them unite. If the country have been united by great leaders, leading them into good programs, education and other essential stuffs that are in need to help the people, surely the country will progress towards a successful run.

In short, everything in Africa must change to be able for them to stand up since they are not really a poor country with regards to resources that a country need to move up getting to success. They just need to better know how to make use of it by making them educated and leading them into the way.

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. Now I understand that Africa as a nation could be very poor because of their situation with the climate and how there is less forests and water and so forth there, however if they can break the barrier once and make it a bit green just once, they could actually  have a huge green nation.

After that they could grow crops whatever they want, end poverty with more food available, work towards industry and actually use those resources and everything else will fall into space. 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.

Isn't that almost all of the leaders are just like that? They have political desires because there's a lot of benefits.
It will always depend on the leaders, look at some third world countries who have a lot of potential on growing their economy because of their minerals and natural resources but still at the bottom of the list.

Some are just pure talks, they can't even make their promises come true. I still have hopes that continents like Africa will have a massive growth in the future, they just need to wait for the right leaders.
