The more time I spend here, the angrier I get.
The capital city floods whenever it rains. Citizens are stranded daily because of transportation. Water bodies are being destroyed by galamsey. Yet the ministers responsible for these sectors are being celebrated as top performers.
Europeans literally walked all the way to the Levant to plunder it during the Crusades.
And that was during the Dark Ages, with no technological or civilizational advantage.
The idea that the Global South can avoid conflict and wait it out til the West "decline" is delusional.
Neoliberalism has been exposed as a complete sham.
Wealthy countries that preached free markets to the rest of the world are now passionately embracing protectionism.
Scholars like Quinn Slobodian have been proven completely correct when pointing out that the neoliberal project was never simply about “freeing” markets. It was secretly about constructing a world order that locked in the dominance of the West.
Now, the West is dropping the pretence, unapologetically embracing economic nationalism and their desire to preserve Western dominance in the world economy.
@DjehutySpeaks@kashyap286 Africa isn't cursed per se, we're just not in our cosmic energetic allianment for greatness. This is when we have access to the full potential of our spiritual and cognitive powers.
Wait, I know you. Didn't you use to have a YouTube channel back in the day??
@DjehutySpeaks@kashyap286 I read. Lauren isn't wrong also the challenges you highlight is true, however, it isn't something great intelligence and focus can't overcome. What actuall benefit is there to understand a challenge intricately yet have zero solutions?
@Abu_The_Truth What does blaming the west get you? Or what African problem does blaming the west solve? We both agree (I think) that they're our "enemy" you expect your enemy to treat you like a kin, to hold your hands? I really truly do not get your thinking, seriously.
Ghanaian children are taught that hard work leads to success. Many of their parents worked hard their entire lives and died without security. Hard work inside a broken structure produces exhaustion not prosperity. The lesson should include the structure.
A developing country does not need mass democracy. Because it is a massive risk and prone to sabotage. It needs a nationalist government to develop. That's why NO Western country went full democracy from the onset. Also why they force it on your country. You think they love you.
@Heal_within96 It is a Continent of Blacks! As in America, whatever is Wrong it isn’t their Fault!
White People did this to them!
If you don’t believe it, just ask them!
@Heal_within96 Africa is underdeveloped because Africans are unable and unwilling to get their act together and they have many scapegoats to blame for their mediocrity so they never face up to it and hold themselves accountable
@Abu_The_Truth For this claim to be valid you'd have had to show how much advancement you have made since independence. Also without colonialism we'd be several 100yrs behind where we are right now. It's funny how most of you owe your very existence to colonialism.
Tesla cars need battery to work .
Chinese hybrid cars require batteries to function.
Your phones need batteries to work .
Your AirPods and smart watches rely on batteries.
Congo Kinshasa 🇨🇩 would have been the richest country in the world if they had to produce batteries themselves instead of selling cobalt .
I’ve lived long enough to testify that:
*Democracy does not work in Africa.
*Foreign education has mentally crippled our people.
*Foreign media actively promotes hatred and division among us.
And that list goes on.
“Why are African leaders so wicked? Why do they sell out so easily?”
The answer is simple: Their decisions are dictated by secret societies, blackmail, foreign campaign funds, and life-threatening coercion.
We don’t have leaders yet — we have highly compromised puppets.
@StephB30ftsmurf@RealCandaceO Imagine calling someone else's eloquently expressed personal opinion of a country they recent visited "retarded" only because you disagree based on your none existent actual experience of said country, and you're somehow the smart one? And people like you vote. Wow!
