Although Africa is a much poorer country than other countries it is improving a lot. Most countries in the world are helping Africa to improve their conditions. Africa may show partial success even if it does not meet some of the Millennium Development Goals. According to international reports the maternal mortality rate on the continent has dropped by 42 percent Through which the health of mother and child will be improved a project in Nigeria's Ondo province is helping pregnant mothers with mobile phones so they can call nurses and doctors at any time of the day. In this way you can easily get medicine and treatment and also progress towards education.

I am just thinking if all these can change, I wish many Africa countries to be developed. What can possibly lead to Africa countries getting advanced so the quality of living in the continent will improve?
Whenever you see a situation that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense going on for a long time you should be sure that someone is profiting from it and that things are going according to their plans, I'm pretty sure that the African continent is purposefully left in that state because if it wasn't then how it will be possible for developed countries to obtain incredibly cheap materials? And those that are at the top of nations in the African continent benefit through corruption, as such it is obvious to me that despite the claims those that are at the very top do not really want to improve the situation in Africa.

Why no one has mentioned that there are developed nations within the African continent? There are countries such as Seychelles, Mauritius and Gabon, that could be classified as developed nations. Libya enjoyed very high standards of living a decade ago, but now it is in ruins. Botswana is another country that enjoys a very high standard of living and HDI currently.

Even though Africa's growth is not significant, Africa's development is very fast, especially through China's OBOR program. Although not all African countries are involved in the BRI project. China plans to exploit Africa's natural resources just as America moved many of its factories to China in the 90s and 2000s. In the next 20-30 years, Africa will also get a demographic bonus and a large increase in population so that it can become a good industrial and market base.

For China, by moving its factories to Africa, in addition to accelerating the supply of Chinese goods to Europe, the majority of African countries are still included in the list of poor and developing countries so they can still penetrate developed country markets. Because many countries in Asia have been excluded from the list of developing countries by the United States so they cannot enjoy cheap import tariffs in some countries.

Africans have leaders who keep promising them a better tomorrow, but they never fulfill their promises, rather they even steal more from them and most of their leaders even have accounts in foreign countries like the US, the British, and other countries where they move the money they steal from those poor countries. Politicians make promises to them and when they are voted in, they still become corrupt and start the same process of looting from the country. It’s very bad.

There are lots of poor people and families, adults and kids that can’t afford to feed themselves and at the end some of them resort to crime to be able to feed themselves. This is why I believe that for any country to be developed, it all depends on the leaders.
That is part of their propaganda in order to deceive the public and in order for them to be elected, I'm sure that African people are already aware that they deserve better government, the promises of those politician are scam and it is just a way for them to deceive the citizens. The corruption is now part of their culture and it is really hard to change it for sure, but it doesn't mean that all of the future politician will be corrupt. There is still hope in that country all they need to do is to vote wise person that can fix the problems in many countries in Africa.

Africa's abundant natural wealth should be easy for the rapidly developing African countries. But economic and educational factors
which caused Africa to lag behind other continents. With its weak economic and educational factors make it a resource people in African
countries are of poor quality. So African countries are mostly lagging behind technological advances. If both factors can be improved
so all African countries can develop.
Imagine if the African countries can manage their resources very well, for sure they will not left behind and they can achieve the top of the ladder for sure. Weak leadership and corruption is the reason why the most of the African countries are not yet fully developed, there are many issues there like poaching, illegal mining and they cannot protect the native people their because of the corruption.

Did you know that there are certain African countries that is stuck to the debt trap diplomacy of China? It is a huge debt where for sure that the next generation of the people will still work hard to pay it.

Yes of course, africa has known to be rich in natural resources and it only needs technology to locate the resources and make use of it. Just like in those desert countries that has been able to make use of oil beneath their soil and thats how it make their country rich. I bet africa had it too besides there are natural resources too that are visible i their area and.now it was being protected like those tourists spot. The only thing that african country misses is a good leaders. I think africa countries is one of the most corrupt country just like.here in our place which also belongs to third world countries.

African countries can become developed if several requirements are met:
1.Birth control policies so the birth ratio can be lowered.Having way too many kids is what keeps many families poor.
2.More investments in the educational systems.
3.More government control over the natural resources of Africa.
4.Political stability and functioning democracy.
5.Acquiring more foreign capitals via tax benefits.
As long as those requirements are met,the African countries will have a bright future.Unfortunately,this isn't the case.

These are definitely very important points that would help make African countries more competitive compared to the rest of the world. But I believe that Africa needs help from the other continents. The problem here is that the young and well educated people likely will leave their own country and live abroad. Its just better for them to make a lot of money 8n Europe, Asia or America than stay behind. This lack of highly skilled and educated workers needs to be filled somehow.

Unfortunately now with the corona recession most countries will focus on their own.

We can't blamed those people as they are not seeing any hope living in their own country, they preferred to live a life from how they
wanted it to be, far from the place where they originates.

Those listed plans are accurate if  leaders who are  taking the position right now are willing to take actions,
it's hard  since they have the same way of leadership over and over but if someone who can stand and make
some change, someone who are willing to take things out and change the directions of this nation, there are
always possibilities that this land will grow and make a better future life  for their young fellowmen.

What everyone is forgetting is how big Africa is. There are only billion people in Africa, not because of to little space but because living conditions in most part are bad. But with the new technologies that will change. And Africa will be able to hold many more billions of population. Africa will be the new superpower of 22rd century.

I personally think that if the elected public officials in African nations are less corrupt, or not really corrupt, there will be some sort of progress within those regions. While the country is not necessarily rich in oil and other stuff that rich countries have, with its somewhat extensive natural resources--most of which are virgin--they can easily convert those into a working product and develop things from there. Not necessarily modernizing Africa as a whole, but at least lessen or eliminate hunger on that region and giving jobs to people who need it the most. Develop doesn't always mean modernize, so they can keep the landscape as it is but having more jobs, more tech for their medicine and food production, and improving their overall quality of life while keeping true to nature.

Africa, a continent to billion of people, having many agricultural and mineral resources, it is home to many tourist centers. Africa is located in region not subjected to many natural diseasters like earth quake and hurricane. Africa so blessed to be a continent that can run on its own with the natural resources they have.


https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/interactive/2016/10/mapping-africa-natural-resources-161020075811145.html

Despite all natural resources embedded in Africa, they are always lacking and behind other continents. Most if not all the countries in Africa are regarded as third world country (poor nations). Why are Africa countries remaining underdeveloped or developing when they have what they can use to grow and develop.

In Africa, getting good education is not easy, rich people and the so called politicians are getting quality education for their children abroad, if they are ill, they travel oversea for treatment, good example are the governors and presidents in Africa including their relative, they make the Africa hospitals not suitable and good enough for medical teatments, that is why many Africa medical practitioners are travelling oversea and never coming back too. Corruption, nepotism and thinking of their families but not multitudes has devastated Africa into a poor standard of living nations. After all these, Africa countries lack employment while most that are employed are underemployed, making them to be poor countries truly. There have always been persistent increases in inflation, this makes me conclude African leaders are not capable to making their countries to be developed.

What makes me more sad about all these is that Africa countries can not make use of what they have properly (natural resources), and now the world has moved more towards technology, how will Africa properly handle what they are lacking. Technology wise, Africans are nothing in the world for now.

I am just thinking if all these can change, I wish many Africa countries to be developed. What can possibly lead to Africa countries getting advanced so the quality of living in the continent will improve?


I have heard most of the poor African countries are lagging behind technological development. Again, most of them are quite superstitious . They also believe that everything will be okay when God wants (they aren't allowed to do anything outside their religion. I remember watching a documentary on TV about their strong superstitious believes and how their wrong interpretation of  religion is blocking them from progress). Again, most of the political leaders of their countries lack education and highly corrupted.
And then, there are other countries looting their billion dollars natural resources every year!

my country isn't very different from Africa's situation. even before the start of our country, its already messy.  the people who decides for the country back then are also manipulated by the nations who gave us independence. up to today those nations are still manipulating African countries, they even own huge properties there. Politicians are also corrupt and i guess they'd have to seize the opportunity because is their time. someone else will seize their opportunity after them.

you're country will not progress unless youre country allow the Chinese to make business there and build the railroads for the new silkroad.

The main reason for the African Countries termed to be third world countries were due to the evading done by the Western world. This started with the resources, Africa has got rich natural resources than any other countries in the world. Any country can be made to be poor, if the resources were evaded.

I've watched documentaries in which lots and lots of rich Africans were seen. How they make money is out of the natural resources. Political people are highly corrupt and the administration lacks in proper management which is the initial cause for allowing Western world have control over their natural resources making the Western world grow.

We can all agree that Africa is one of a kind place in the planet, they got the most precious natural resources in the world but despite of that nature abundance they are suffering from military dictatorships, corruption and civil war making a huge hindrance of their growth as a nation. The poverty in Africa is way more deep than any country has, the poverty they are experiencing right now is still coming from the past, the long term impacts of genocide, slavery, and war. It is good to see that countries in Africa like Nigeria starts developing, I hope we'll see a lot more of underdeveloped countries coming from this continent to excel especially on technology coz they already got access on it.

In that continent where most of the leaders are highly corrupted and that is the primary reason why people are not getting their basic needs even though the country is rich enough with all the natural resources.There are many African celebrities are trying to save their people from the poor but they can only do some extent and this is on the hand of their citizens to choose the right leaders.

We all know that many people say that people in Africa are having a hard time because most of their areas are rural areas.

They don't really adapt modernization and advancement of technology and still they are experiencing poverty.

But one of the things that i'm amazed with them is that I've read some article that they already have a Bitcoin ATM that some other countries don't have. Their approach towards cryptocurrency are really good and with that, I can see that they have a lot of potential to developed in terms of technology and economy because they have a lot of agricultural resources and commodities to utilize.
