As a Nigerian our politicians are are destroying the country, the corruption and corrupt politicians in Nigeria is beyond belief, a country so blessed with natural resources and human capital and yet so poor.
Same in Russia my friend, Neverending natural resources and corrupted totalitarian government, which keeps my country in poverty and now is destroying the neighboring countries.
Bad news for you, my friend. Countries with natural resources are usually doing worse. Because selling those resources gives government enough money so they have no incentive to do anything at all besides skimming that money. Historically, countries with less resources are forced to rely on innovation and progress.
It saddens me it's still like this. I'm a white Australian and travelled to Bonny island back in 2004/05 for work. Beautiful country and people, your government has not served you well.
@@origami83 Ethiopia was occupied by Italy not colonized. like France under Germany, Japan under U.S.A..Italians could not hold onto the whole country especially the country side. The whole country just descended into pure chaos. rebellion against the Italians continued until Britain finally decided to help. the last Ethiopian emperror plead the members of the league of nations to stand with the people of Ethiopia. They rejected his plea. to that he ended by saying "it is us today it will be you tomorrow".

About 15 years ago I had a very long conversation with a Maasai man who was a professor of economics at a university in Nairobi. He shocked me with the admission, invoking the movie Braveheart, by saying “The problem with Africa is that it’s full of Africans”. He was making the point that African culture of corruption and government theft is one of the primary reasons for economic failures in Africa.
" “The problem with Africa is that it’s full of Africans”. He was making the point that African culture of corruption and government theft is one of the primary reasons for economic failures in Africa." you are absolutely right
Yeah but not because it is "full of Africans". That is grossly insulting. This part you put it yourself. Corruption and government theft is not part of African culture. These are creations of the falling European colonial states which wanted ways to keep controlling African countries and loot. What is in African culture, is social values like deep respect to authority, elders, and other people in general. So deep in African culture that it is not normal to question a leader, you don't question someone that is older than you, women don't question their husbands....that is what African culture is. Now the people who established our countries loot hard on behalf of their colonial patrons, and they have complete freedom. What has changed slightly is people are not as tolerant, but there is still a general expectation that "leaders" are to be respected and listened to. Corrupt people get cover this way.
@@patriot_2022 excuses excuses. Corruption is global and isn’t attached or influenced by any culture. Greed is a universal human flaw. I didn’t add anything in myself. I was quoting a Kenyan man’s statement. Go sit back down and take your fake virtue signaling and blame diverting with you. Every human is responsible for their own decisions and actions.

One of the major ways Singapore achieved success was through the elimination of corruption. Status or wealth didn't matter when it came to punishing the corrupt and that is what kills most african economies. Our leaders know they can abuse finances and get away with it without facing any consequences.
The majority of African leaders know that they can depend on ethnic or religious sentiments when challenged on corruption. An African will back his kinsman even if he is the most hopeless and corrupt man in the world.

Western aid is one of the largest reasons for the corruption. We further corruption by giving despots and dictators massive funds to further our agenda.
I'm in Japan. I worked for a non-profit where we donated cancer treatment equipment worth millions to Africa. We later found out they were sold for profit throughout the country and abroad. All due to greedy politicians. It's been going on forever and probably won't change unless something severe happens. I was born Kisii Kenya and well aware of the issues in Africa. Once again JBP is on the money!
Give no aid. They will quickly remove these corrupt politicians and install people who CARE! There is nothing wrong with Africans, and they have some of the most amazing people but the 'macho' strongman politician is what rules.. they need to overthrow these idiots and prosper.

@@CleverGirlAAH _Of course_ there is some level of corruption in all governments, because all governments are run by humans. The point made here is that the corruption is at an unbelievable high amount, and at all levels.
Much like when the South African citizens murdered, terrorized, and ran off the white farmers (the "Boers") and then were given that farm land for free, they were also handed the seeds by the government, free of charge, to plant and farm their new land. What did they do? Sold the bags of seed and fertilizer on the black market and kept a portion for themselves to grind down into a flour to make (very untasty, non-nutritious) bread to eat. None of the seeds were planted, the ground sat bare and dry, and now South Africa is facing a famine, with 11% of their population starving, and that number is ever increasing.
As an African I'm happy to have an African with this school of thought. We've been fed nonsense that has had us lost, lazy, corrupt and depressed.. Thank you for your voice
Well I'm loving hearing y'all speaking for yourselves instead of other people speaking for you. I'm tired of being told what's going on in Africa, I want to hear from Africans
"lost, lazy, corrupt and depressed" accusations are based on your history as a whole, not just right now. Lets compare: China 2,500 to 2,000 years ago, dug out their rivers deeper, dug massive canals so they could dock ships safely, transport goods inland, as well as major arterials (roads, bridges) that created major workable economic cities. Africans didn't, and they are poor today because of it, and still blame the lack of ports and un-navigable rivers for their economic woes. Ironically it is China today that is also doing it for Africa.

@@fumaninjaknownoequal You didn't listen very much. Other countries managed to get out of poverty because they made it a goal to cater to business. If you don't understand the implications of such a statement then you shouldn't be trying to debate global affairs.

As a Black South African, 🇿🇦🇿🇦 What JP and this lady are saying is exactly what I've been saying for years but I have been attacked by many blacks and guilty whites. South Africa has been free from white oppression for 30 years and our idiot politicians still use Apartheid as an excuse for their incompetance and corruption. If South Africa really focused on economic reform, I believe our GDP would have been $1t or more (currently $350b). The current government has done very little interms of improvement, in fact most of the infrastructure we are using today was built by our colonizers and Apartheid government. The current government can't even maintain the infrastructure and institutions that were built by the Apartheid government. Every rational and sane person knows that Apartheid was evil and atrocious but to blame a system that's been dead for almost 30 years now is just fvkng stupid. Our next elections are in 2024 and for the first time since 1994 we think the current ruling party (ANC) will be removed by a coalition between the main opposition party (DA) and other smaller parties. God bless South Africa, the land of my birth 🇿🇦🇿🇦🙌🏿
They are doing it all over the world. There is big money in the programs they present that ate tax payer funded my friend. At the cost of embarrassment and division of the human race. It's evil.
Lol good luck changing the incorrigible people's minds; our incumbent right wing party here in India is blaming the Mughals from 600 years ago as the reason for their incompetence!
I’ve spent almost 1 year backpacking around parts of Africa, mostly North (which is Muslim Africa as opposed to ‘black’ Africa) and West Africa. I did my own thing & never went on any tours. There is no doubt in my mind that most of Africa is the way it is because, mostly, of its own culture. The heat doesn’t help, but even allowing for that, Africa should be way ahead of where it is now. There’s too much corruption, too many children, too much laying the blame elsewhere & too much laziness (obviously, not everyone). Obviously, there’s more to it than that, but I just don’t have the time …
😅 that is interesting. Two things in your comment are *absolutely* not part of the problem with Africa: the heat (sun), and children. there is one and only one reason for continuing struggles, and that is corruption.
"(which is Muslim Africa as opposed to ‘black’ Africa)" Honey Islam is not are race and it didn't play any role on making the north better, the north is better just because its not tribal
I'm from Kenya 🇰🇪 and I completely agree with her, although to add on that, the hugest problem we have, especially in my country, is corruption through out the entire government infrastructure. This keeps widening the gap between the rich and the poor, and majority of us are living below the poverty line, sad to say! 😢
We have this problem in South Africa. The corrupt government is creating a space that makes it very difficult to start and grow your own business, to live. The electricity deficit problem was predicted years ago and leaders did nothing to rectify the matter or create sustainable solutions. We suffer the consequences of that incompetence the most as the common people while they stuff our taxes in their greedy pockets
And what is corruption? The few have complete control of any system and country so nothing has changed. The system works like this, they lend money to a country, the corrupted put the money in their pockets, then deprive the people of their money through tax to pay x4 times the loan. Also control of resources, diamond, gold etc. All done and orchestrated outside the country. If someone isn't corrupt, it's complete war against him. Now tell me you can better yourself and thrive and that this woman is not insane...
This was fantastic. No victimhood at all. This woman owned the mistakes the struggling countries in Africa are making and laid out actionable steps. I wish we got more of this in the general media.

Yeah dude. Corruption made strong by the colonisers. In the case when colonisation means not ruling over a state and becoming wealthy from that state, but instead the new form of white colonisation where the wealth of a place was stolen completely and taken to the other nation. Making the colony weaker. And corruption as a normal thing for the criminal as well as the victim.

Finally someone says this...

A corrupt government is precluded by the existence of a corrupt people. To claim they can exist independent of each other is to claim that evil actions can exist without evil people.

Even in the most brutal feudalistic tyrannies, the people could rise up and cast the lords and slavers down. Let's say an act of God suddenly smites all the corrupt leaders of Africa. What happens then, do good men suddenly take their place? Or is the vacuum of power filled by those cunning and brutal enough to ensure their position? It may not have been an act of God, but the CIA tried that for decades with the cartels. They killed their leaders, assassinated them repeatedly, and all that happened was that the cartels became even more cruel and brutal. Lead by men who would slit the throats of anyone and anything standing in the way of their power. I'm not saying to not rise up and cast of evil where it takes hold. But it is imperative that we understand the origin of this evil and correct it, or else you will only end up replacing it with something far worse than before.

Still it's possible to be racist without being a problem to society. The people who started to say "racism is bad" are the ones who are the most racist of them all.

I think, that some cultural changes have to be made to prosper. Like the (economic) rise in Europe came in early modern times, when the liberty right, the rise of the individual above the constraints of the society, family, religion, etc. Started. When I talk to Africans in Europe I always hear about the pressure they have, to fulfill the demands and wishes, their family has put in them. If you are determined by expectations, your familiy becomes more of a burden, than a support.
@@samuel_m84 Prosperity came in Europe when they began collectivizing an masse to massacre and steal the wealth and resources of and make slaves of other continents who were not as centrally organized. This is still true to this day. And if African nations refuse to accept that the other nations of the world wish to exploit them for their own gain and that they must separate from them to build internally, the West, China, and others will continue to treat them however they chose and tale their resources.
Victimhood is def a problem. However, the idea that Africa standing up for intself won't ultimately mean war with outside nations that many African nations currently wish to remain chummy with and maybe even some dissenters within Africa, or that the very act of separating and acheiving prosperity and liberty for the continent won't inherently create enemies in places around the world would be naive. Liberty means accepting all that comes with it and bwing prepared to lool the former and would-be future colonizers in the face as equals and being prepared to wage war with and decimate their forces if and when the need arises. Simple fact, Africa, and all black/negro nations have a common enemy that meddles in and sabotages our affairs, politics, community, culture, etc. Not acknowledging that this enemy exists and cmpreparing to deal with it's advances is like sending people out into a field to plant a garden, but not telling them that the gardwn is teeming with venomous snakes, wolves, etc. If the those that prey on your people aren't with first, then they're not being sent to succeed.
As an Argentinian (once the richest country in the world, now less than a shadow of that), victimhood is overspread in public opinion: "you cannot prosper because there are countries that put efforts for that not to happen". They can never answer how they achieve that, of course. And this "play the victim" idea it's so emphasized in education, general culture, media, etc., that it's very difficult to change some people's minds about it. Especially when some parties (like Peronism) revive this idea all the time. Sadly, that works exceptionally good, because everyone sees the country is in constant crisis or deep problems, but they fill that hole with the idea of blaming an intangible enemy, who they are constantly fighting with, but ironically they never win to.

Am Kenyan and have been telling this to everyone wh cares to listen. The problem is victim mentality is so soothing because it relieves people of the responsibility for their actions. Colonisation in my country was abolished almost 60 years ago. 60 years of self rule is alot if you have an agenda, an economic ability and the fortitude to fall through. Within the same time, Singapore, which had the same GDP as Kenya in the 70s took off like a rocket. In the same time the two are in different leagues. Am not taking down what we have gained, but we could be better only if we let of of the pacifier that is 'colonisation put us here'. It is growing old fast. Loving AfcFTA and what it represents. Watching keenly how the african countries respond to it.
Ironically, I could not help listening to the undertones of this talk and hearing them echo what UDA party has been preaching. The guest speaker even has their party colour on ( but I digress). I am Kenyan and we mostly do not blame colonialism. We have continually and repeatedly blamed GRAND CORRUPTION.
@@mukuhi indeed. Caught that bottom up approach. Even Lee Kuan Yew. Kagame's hero, understood this. Indeed in Kenya we do have grand corruption that is the puncture in our wheels. However in intellectual conversations many still fall on the numbing effects of neo colonialization on our attempts to grow. We cannot ignore the feelers connecting to pre colonial industry that control most sectors of the economy. What am saying is we have enough time, resource and sovereignty to alter some of these to encourage this bottom up economy. Grand corruption is sucking at that teat hence dampening attempts to clean out the slate. Kenya needs a Kagame who places. As Trump says, country first. Most of who we have had have been paying homage to status quo which leaves open back doors to economic control. Look at the major industries and connect the dots to the LSE and NYSE.
It is commendable that the speakers are moderate in their views on the matter. When we (esp in Kenya) try to have a discourse on economic empowerment, we are bombarded by extreme suggestions. E.g as in the intellectual circles you mentioned, they dissect one symptom and really go on a tangent with it. Whereas the other extreme will avoid looking into past experiences and insist on all local problems being solved through local solutions. In that melee the conversation is drowned and a politician steps in to create their own palatable narrative to win the populace over. Economic power is the main incentive to gain political power in Kenya. We have to appreciate that the former colonies in the continent have varied characteristics. The Kenyan solution to economic empowerment would be to dwell at the confluence of the interests of those in govt and economic activities of the people. I have made an observation on some of our economic activities. Neo-colonialism has continually fed us through media and schooling on the limited ways of advancing ourselves economically. We need to use our advantage of knowing local terrain, markets and practices in advancing economically.
Our demented politicians (democrats) in the US do the same thing to blacks in the US that African cultures in the worst economies do to their citizens.. its a cynical pandering for votes but it does psychological damage to those who believe it. Her approach can change everything if she can get the buy in needed.
Any African country that does this will be invaded and coups. Africa had over 25 different coups in 10 years. Whenever a African governments try to make policy changes, they are overthrown.
l wish to have people like this lady in Zimbabwe running the government because she telling facts here Prosperity comes with respect Zimbabwe leaders are quick to blame colonialism and sanctions, but the fact is they simply cannot lead .They have no leadership skills to archive economic freedom..l am fed up its really devastating especially to the youth

Each region is socially and culturally and largely religiously different and speak completely different languages. This had led to recently Christians being massacred in the North, and historically the Biafran war as the industrial East tried to secede. The Northerners would be quite happy to introduce Sharia Law throughout the whole country, but the people in the South are largely Christian.

Magatte Wade is absolutely correct in ceasing to blame Africa’s failures on colonialism. The world is approaching a time where we are now closer to hundred years since the end of European colonialism.
This is so good. As someone who was brown in the DRC and grew up in South Africa, these Africans leaders need to hear this. I’m tired of Africa being the joke of the world, economically, this is why we need leaders, not more politicians
This lady is spot on. She refers to Lee Kwan Yew of Singapore - he studied Law at Cambridge University and it was the rigid application of English Common Law and the suppression of corruption that has in large part led to Singapore's success and is being replicated in the UAE which whilst having a Sharia base of law, enables English Common Law to be applied.
People are so naive. Africa has resources that make it a bigger target than little Singapore. She is done a good job covering for the colonizers like Bill Gates, who pretend to be helping. So gullible.
Lee Kwan Yew was deeply inspired by conservative politicians of India. He was a pen friend with many in India. He had many letters exchanges with late Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Both of them mentioned in their biographies. It was Atal Bihari Vajpayee who supported Lee Kwan Yew against aggressive attempts by Malaysia, Britain and China.
American here- I am so impressed with this woman. I find her very refreshing and so brave to speak the truth. Magatte I will be looking up more of your videos and work.

@@kaczan3 how can someone be a definition of something? Lmao I don't see what you're trying to say. She states facts that most POC, or just people on the left in general can't stand to hear and call you racist and a colonizer for talking about it.
Colonialism was definitely a factor in the current state of Africa. It's not the only reason or even the main reason, but it's there, and it negatively affected African politics, economy and society. Read up on what happened in Congo and its repercussion to the modern day - Belgians really went psycho there. Some places are worse than others, but impact of Europeans wasn't good on African people. She's not bringing that up here, because she's being interviewed by a right wing professor. But, just because she doesn't talk about it doesn't mean she's not thinking it. She just doesn't think that's the only reason.
Please educate yourself. 14 African countries have to give half of the money in their central bank to France and ask for permission to use it.What about the Franc CFA and France's economic stronghold on 14 African countries? They have to ask France for permission to use their own money. please educate yourselves.

J-Lo... What's happening here? Gaining economic freedom by using other people's skills, technology, expertise, and know how? And then bragging about it, as if offering others something. When all that's showing is ego and arrogance?
“Tough times make tough men, tough men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make bad times.” I forget where it’s from, but Africa’s a pretty good example.
Here is the common story about the conquest of Africa from slavery, to European colonization, to neo-colonization. Africa is never short of leaders who are willing to disrupt their home, sell their locals, so they can enrich their immediate circles while the lot suffer. During slavery European business men relied on collaborators to cause havoc and make it easy for them to pick slaves. The same happened during colonization as some "senior chiefs," home guards, and apparently supposed freedom fighters supported colonizers for wealth and power. Today we could point out multiple African country rich with resources but the populace is poor while politicians keep making deals with Western and Eastern firms. Guess what. The politicians are filthy rich, their children enjoying life in high end properties in London and other major cities while Africans are left poor. Unable to even make $1 a day. That said, African leaders just lack the political good will to develop their regions. It is no secret that effective leaders mind about their people more than or as much as themselves. I am yet to see a similar leader in my country (Kenya). All leaders operate from a "benefit to myself first" point. Any development or business initiative must have benefits for the leader to succeed. Starting a sensible business in my country requires an arm and a leg in terms of permits, licenses etc. There is very little incentive to create businesses which should in turn create employment opportunities. Yet we have a functioning parliament which doesn't hesitate to increase its salaries and slash taxes for themselves at the slightest opportunities. Our leaders are in a race to amass wealth for when they retire that they forget the country will outlive them. The most frightening part is that instead of learning about the dangers of corruption, most Africans are only learning about how much corruption could make them. It is common to see young people wish they had government jobs so they can manipulate financial figures to benefit themselves. We have accepted it as a norm that anyone in a position to "eat" should utilize it for their family to prosper because that is their time. There is just so much to say about Africa's underdevelopment and 99.99% of it is down to ourselves. White people have no power over how we run our countries. Yes, they have arrested us in loans and may call shots on out tax systems. But they did not inflate budgets and misappropriate funds meant to complete whole projects, they did not steal Covid relief funds, they did not steal money meant to improve our education systems, they did not "kill" the huge coffee, tea, and sugar industries that have died since the end of colonization. White people are not the reason a village in rural Kenya does not have a footbridge over a huge river for students to cross. It is our incompetence and greed.
@@juliafox52 nothing has changed. Both China and the West are serving their interests in Africa. Pretending to help while strategizing on securing massive amounts of resources for themselves. Our biggest problem is not the west or the east. It's incompetent, greedy leaders who can't utilize this trend to improve home.
We could use more of her. "Please let's move on from that." That would be great. She also realizes that it's not just specifically Europe that engaged in the practice of colonization, so she actually understands history and human nature.
Hari Norway was colony under Denmark for 400 years, then partly under Sweden for almost another 100 years, and look what it is now, if one wants to look at prosperity.
You should take heed to how she and her country ended up in this place, because when it happens to you and your location, I don't think you will have the same response and say "please let's move on from that" If they're doing it to these countries it's only a matter of time before it's at your doorstep
As black man myself is awesome when i see someone not being held by victimhood and simply thriving. I had a rough upbringing but im working to get my business from the ground up instead sulking in my bed and not doing nothing.

What do you know about this woman? Because I'm perfectly aware of wealthy Africans. She might just be privileged, where there is no money, it's hard to make it (fairly)
I am South African 🇿🇦 and the problem with South Africa is not money but governance. We have greedy politicians who steal government money and don't care about the economy of South Africa.
I particularly like seeing the African mannerisms, like the fingernail snaps and the braid flicks, but not in the context of an American ghetto fight. A good reminder that it's not the race, or the culture that's the problem, but the mindset, and that hope to change. She's fantastic!

As a Ghanaian … the wickedness, devilishness and evil of our politicians and government is the reason we’re poor. We have every single mineral and natural resources with only 32 million people in population and still moving abroad to do ‘dirty’ work for small change
This is what the secretive cabals of the world want for all of us. They also want to depopulate us, because we're all seen as useless eaters. It's the new boss, same as the old boss; Marxism.
this woman just took most of my thoughts and put it in the most articulate and engaging way. i’ve been saying some of these things for years about Nigeria. God is helping us. a generation of free, independent and productive thinkers is rising
Expounding Western ideologies and without necessarily reflecting sincerely on the role of Europeans in Africa will seem to be the truth to some if not many Western civilised Africans. As opposed to an African using Western education to find himself/herself he/she is more concerned about being accepted by Europeans. What's it that's beneath or on top of Africa is owned by an African and which African country is truly independent?.
As a Ugandan here, I can tell you that most of the reason we backslide is because of corruption, from the president down to the village level officials. When money gets sent down for things like roads and health care, it barely reaches but we changed the curriculum 2 years ago which I'm happy about and put an emphasis on entrepreneurship, individual thinking and raising a better future generation! Hopefully this will help us develop faster
I have seen many stories of this. One official looked into the TV camera and said, " Please, I beg you, stop sending aid." " It is stolen and sold on the black market. It's not getting to the people "
Now you just need to accept all Uganda's citizens as they are, gay, trans, lesbian, women, men, everyone! They all can contribute to the development of your country, regardless of crede, sexual preference, skin colour whatever...
@@Celtic_Chronicleas in...? Uganda is already a "free" country or are they still beating and killing people due to their sexual choice? Sorry, didn't understand your half delivered point!
As a Zimbabwean I full agree with her. Ever since we gained independence from the British colonial rule, we have been in the same rut of corruption from our very own politicians who are supposed to be making political decisions on behalf of the people. And it has only become worse as they have lied and indulged in so much corruption for over 30 years that our once leading economy had broken so many records in worst inflation, worst economy growth and worst human rights
Bkack man is so dumb. Your country foundation is faulty. The corruption came as a result of colonialism. I don't know Zimbabwean pre colonial history but I knew they built prymids and I bet you they were far than present Zimbabweans economically. Go find out why they were better? Then you will know the genises of Zimbabwean problems
Speak for yourself buddy, We are in a system of White Suoremeacy there is no such thing as "INDEPENDENCE" white people have been and are still in charge of this planet. In all areas of people activity Economics - there is no such thing as a FREE MARKET. Education - they decide what education is and what are valid qualifications Entertainment Labour - they create and control the employment laws and market Law - is whatever they decide Politics - None white countries elections have to monitored and they vote for the wrong person they either get invaded or sanctioned Religion - do I need to explain this one Sex - the chinese one child policy Was one the Conditons whites secretly imposed on China to bring business to China. F War - during the Libyan invasion a no fly zone was imposed on the "Independent African Leaders". So instead of parrotting, the old racyist tropes about third world corruption, Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world, it never affected their economy and they are not condemned for it. Stop hating yourself and embrace the truth, repeating lies that help people like Peterson justify Injustice through lying by omission, is purely evil because millions of the weak and ignorant suffer because of it, do better sir.
Zambian in her 20s here 😔 for us we only hear of the glory days of Zambia and Zimbabwe from our parents and its so painful to know that certain people will only ever care about themselves.

How come? There are even some brave black South Africans who say that formerly prosperous SA companies are going bankrupt because the current leadership is there not because of their knowledge and experience but because of their ties to government! They even say that this is what makes them different from whites who had their best people in those positions! And yeah, your knowledge is probably so limited, if any, that you have no idea about Bantu (Black) settlement in SA. They themselves moved and colonized SA at the same time European were settling there! And BOTH of them were driving out Khoi San peoples into desert areas. Khoi Sans are culturally and ethnically completely different from Bantu tribes. The Bantu farmers were only able to colonize those lands after they had acquired crops suitable for subtropical climate such as maize. Have no doubt they were not nice to Khoi Sans who used to live in that area for millenia. So talk about colonizers then!

As a Nigerian our politicians are are destroying the country, the corruption and corrupt politicians in Nigeria is beyond belief, a country so blessed with natural resources and human capital and yet so poor.
We have the same problem with politicians in America.
They think it’s by zoning! You can see how dumb they are!
Same in Russia my friend, Neverending natural resources and corrupted totalitarian government, which keeps my country in poverty and now is destroying the neighboring countries.
Bad news for you, my friend. Countries with natural resources are usually doing worse. Because selling those resources gives government enough money so they have no incentive to do anything at all besides skimming that money. Historically, countries with less resources are forced to rely on innovation and progress.
It saddens me it's still like this. I'm a white Australian and travelled to Bonny island back in 2004/05 for work. Beautiful country and people, your government has not served you well.
I am from Ethiopia. Ethiopia was never colonized. what make us poor is 20 years of communism then 30 years of tribal politics.
Wasnt Ethiopia colonized by Italy?
@@origami83 Ethiopia was occupied by Italy not colonized. like France under Germany, Japan under U.S.A..Italians could not hold onto the whole country especially the country side. The whole country just descended into pure chaos. rebellion against the Italians continued until Britain finally decided to help. the last Ethiopian emperror plead the members of the league of nations to stand with the people of Ethiopia. They rejected his plea. to that he ended by saying "it is us today it will be you tomorrow".

The only African country to not be colonized if I am not mistaken.

Doubt it.
It's so refreshing to hear someone speaking up for their people in a way that doesn't paint their entire group as victims. We need more of this.
Agree. Particularly in the current age of victimhood
It's like how people paint the Mexican-American war, saying that the mexicans in texans were victims. The Mexicans in texas fought alongside the Americans during the Alamo, The Tejanos wanted to seperate from Mexico too.

About 15 years ago I had a very long conversation with a Maasai man who was a professor of economics at a university in Nairobi. He shocked me with the admission, invoking the movie Braveheart, by saying “The problem with Africa is that it’s full of Africans”. He was making the point that African culture of corruption and government theft is one of the primary reasons for economic failures in Africa.
" “The problem with Africa is that it’s full of Africans”. He was making the point that African culture of corruption and government theft is one of the primary reasons for economic failures in Africa."
you are absolutely right
corruption is not an African culture. the colonists introduced it.
Yeah but not because it is "full of Africans". That is grossly insulting. This part you put it yourself.
Corruption and government theft is not part of African culture. These are creations of the falling European colonial states which wanted ways to keep controlling African countries and loot.
What is in African culture, is social values like deep respect to authority, elders, and other people in general. So deep in African culture that it is not normal to question a leader, you don't question someone that is older than you, women don't question their husbands....that is what African culture is.
Now the people who established our countries loot hard on behalf of their colonial patrons, and they have complete freedom. What has changed slightly is people are not as tolerant, but there is still a general expectation that "leaders" are to be respected and listened to.
Corrupt people get cover this way.
@@patriot_2022 excuses excuses. Corruption is global and isn’t attached or influenced by any culture. Greed is a universal human flaw. I didn’t add anything in myself. I was quoting a Kenyan man’s statement. Go sit back down and take your fake virtue signaling and blame diverting with you. Every human is responsible for their own decisions and actions.
The problema in "never" question someone (older people, husband, etc, like you said) is that they can do you harm. People should always question @@patriot_2022
One of the major ways Singapore achieved success was through the elimination of corruption. Status or wealth didn't matter when it came to punishing the corrupt and that is what kills most african economies. Our leaders know they can abuse finances and get away with it without facing any consequences.
They did achieve it through a dictatorship
The majority of African leaders know that they can depend on ethnic or religious sentiments when challenged on corruption. An African will back his kinsman even if he is the most hopeless and corrupt man in the world.
Thats not any different in The Netherlands at this moment. 6 billion is missing without receipts. The lost them.. dunno where the money went.. pharma laughs.. government laughs.. ministers laugh... nobody bats an eye

@@sulaak This is exactly the issue. This mindset elevates ethnicity above morality itself, and the devastating consequences are plain to see.

All due to greedy politicians. It's been going on forever and probably won't change unless something severe happens. I was born Kisii Kenya and well aware of the issues in Africa. Once again JBP is on the money!
Give no aid. They will quickly remove these corrupt politicians and install people who CARE! There is nothing wrong with Africans, and they have some of the most amazing people but the 'macho' strongman politician is what rules.. they need to overthrow these idiots and prosper. I'm irish, and I wanna see Africa show its TRUE colours. We all know Africa is the next place of prosperity and I'm excited to see it. Long way to go but its so doable.
Yip. Corruption here all the time. Corruption is the norm in government here.
@@dirkmoolman I think it's the norm in all government lol
@@CleverGirlAAH _Of course_ there is some level of corruption in all governments, because all governments are run by humans. The point made here is that the corruption is at an unbelievable high amount, and at all levels.
Much like when the South African citizens murdered, terrorized, and ran off the white farmers (the "Boers") and then were given that farm land for free, they were also handed the seeds by the government, free of charge, to plant and farm their new land. What did they do? Sold the bags of seed and fertilizer on the black market and kept a portion for themselves to grind down into a flour to make (very untasty, non-nutritious) bread to eat. None of the seeds were planted, the ground sat bare and dry, and now South Africa is facing a famine, with 11% of their population starving, and that number is ever increasing.
As an African I'm happy to have an African with this school of thought. We've been fed nonsense that has had us lost, lazy, corrupt and depressed.. Thank you for your voice
Well I'm loving hearing y'all speaking for yourselves instead of other people speaking for you. I'm tired of being told what's going on in Africa, I want to hear from Africans
"lost, lazy, corrupt and depressed" accusations are based on your history as a whole, not just right now.
Lets compare: China 2,500 to 2,000 years ago, dug out their rivers deeper, dug massive canals so they could dock ships safely, transport goods inland, as well as major arterials (roads, bridges) that created major workable economic cities.
Africans didn't, and they are poor today because of it, and still blame the lack of ports and un-navigable rivers for their economic woes. Ironically it is China today that is also doing it for Africa.
You guys are infinitely more powerful than Western victim ideology wants you to believe.

As a Black South African, 🇿🇦🇿🇦
What JP and this lady are saying is exactly what I've been saying for years but I have been attacked by many blacks and guilty whites.
South Africa has been free from white oppression for 30 years and our idiot politicians still use Apartheid as an excuse for their incompetance and corruption.
If South Africa really focused on economic reform, I believe our GDP would have been $1t or more (currently $350b).
The current government has done very little interms of improvement, in fact most of the infrastructure we are using today was built by our colonizers and Apartheid government. The current government can't even maintain the infrastructure and institutions that were built by the Apartheid government.
Every rational and sane person knows that Apartheid was evil and atrocious but to blame a system that's been dead for almost 30 years now is just fvkng stupid.
Our next elections are in 2024 and for the first time since 1994 we think the current ruling party (ANC) will be removed by a coalition between the main opposition party (DA) and other smaller parties.
God bless South Africa, the land of my birth 🇿🇦🇿🇦🙌🏿
Hopefully! Good bye ANC! Just be wary of those red hats and shirts chanting "kill the farmer, kill the Boer". They'll be even worse.

Lol good luck changing the incorrigible people's minds; our incumbent right wing party here in India is blaming the Mughals from 600 years ago as the reason for their incompetence!
I’ve spent almost 1 year backpacking around parts of Africa, mostly North (which is Muslim Africa as opposed to ‘black’ Africa) and West Africa. I did my own thing & never went on any tours. There is no doubt in my mind that most of Africa is the way it is because, mostly, of its own culture. The heat doesn’t help, but even allowing for that, Africa should be way ahead of where it is now. There’s too much corruption, too many children, too much laying the blame elsewhere & too much laziness (obviously, not everyone).
Obviously, there’s more to it than that, but I just don’t have the time …
😅 that is interesting. Two things in your comment are *absolutely* not part of the problem with Africa: the heat (sun), and children.
there is one and only one reason for continuing struggles, and that is corruption.
"(which is Muslim Africa as opposed to ‘black’ Africa)" Honey Islam is not are race and it didn't play any role on making the north better, the north is better just because its not tribal
I'm from Kenya 🇰🇪 and I completely agree with her, although to add on that, the hugest problem we have, especially in my country, is corruption through out the entire government infrastructure. This keeps widening the gap between the rich and the poor, and majority of us are living below the poverty line, sad to say! 😢
We have this problem in South Africa. The corrupt government is creating a space that makes it very difficult to start and grow your own business, to live.
The electricity deficit problem was predicted years ago and leaders did nothing to rectify the matter or create sustainable solutions. We suffer the consequences of that incompetence the most as the common people while they stuff our taxes in their greedy pockets
What an impressive, knowledgeable and articulate speaker! Her passion is contagious. Truly the best of Africa.
One rule: less money and power the government has, the smaller space for corruption becomes.
Corruption is one of the main issues in my country of Romania (eastern Europe).
And what is corruption? The few have complete control of any system and country so nothing has changed. The system works like this, they lend money to a country, the corrupted put the money in their pockets, then deprive the people of their money through tax to pay x4 times the loan. Also control of resources, diamond, gold etc.
All done and orchestrated outside the country. If someone isn't corrupt, it's complete war against him. Now tell me you can better yourself and thrive and that this woman is not insane...
This was fantastic. No victimhood at all. This woman owned the mistakes the struggling countries in Africa are making and laid out actionable steps. I wish we got more of this in the general media.

Africans are like that. It’s black people in the west who are convinced they’re victims.
Yeah dude. Corruption made strong by the colonisers. In the case when colonisation means not ruling over a state and becoming wealthy from that state, but instead the new form of white colonisation where the wealth of a place was stolen completely and taken to the other nation. Making the colony weaker. And corruption as a normal thing for the criminal as well as the victim.

As a Kenyan, I 100% agree with her.
Bitter pill, hard to swallow in this 'victimhood blaming mentality culture' but facts.
I think, that some cultural changes have to be made to prosper. Like the (economic) rise in Europe came in early modern times, when the liberty right, the rise of the individual above the constraints of the society, family, religion, etc. Started. When I talk to Africans in Europe I always hear about the pressure they have, to fulfill the demands and wishes, their family has put in them. If you are determined by expectations, your familiy becomes more of a burden, than a support.
Say this to my fellow South Africans please
@@samuel_m84
Prosperity came in Europe when they began collectivizing an masse to massacre and steal the wealth and resources of and make slaves of other continents who were not as centrally organized. This is still true to this day.
And if African nations refuse to accept that the other nations of the world wish to exploit them for their own gain and that they must separate from them to build internally, the West, China, and others will continue to treat them however they chose and tale their resources.
Victimhood is def a problem. However, the idea that Africa standing up for intself won't ultimately mean war with outside nations that many African nations currently wish to remain chummy with and maybe even some dissenters within Africa, or that the very act of separating and acheiving prosperity and liberty for the continent won't inherently create enemies in places around the world would be naive.
Liberty means accepting all that comes with it and bwing prepared to lool the former and would-be future colonizers in the face as equals and being prepared to wage war with and decimate their forces if and when the need arises.
Simple fact, Africa, and all black/negro nations have a common enemy that meddles in and sabotages our affairs, politics, community, culture, etc. Not acknowledging that this enemy exists and cmpreparing to deal with it's advances is like sending people out into a field to plant a garden, but not telling them that the gardwn is teeming with venomous snakes, wolves, etc. If the those that prey on your people aren't with first, then they're not being sent to succeed.
As an Argentinian (once the richest country in the world, now less than a shadow of that), victimhood is overspread in public opinion: "you cannot prosper because there are countries that put efforts for that not to happen". They can never answer how they achieve that, of course.
And this "play the victim" idea it's so emphasized in education, general culture, media, etc., that it's very difficult to change some people's minds about it. Especially when some parties (like Peronism) revive this idea all the time.
Sadly, that works exceptionally good, because everyone sees the country is in constant crisis or deep problems, but they fill that hole with the idea of blaming an intangible enemy, who they are constantly fighting with, but ironically they never win to.
She should be teaching in our universities! She's logical, and honest about the situation in Africa.

Am Kenyan and have been telling this to everyone wh cares to listen. The problem is victim mentality is so soothing because it relieves people of the responsibility for their actions. Colonisation in my country was abolished almost 60 years ago. 60 years of self rule is alot if you have an agenda, an economic ability and the fortitude to fall through.
Within the same time, Singapore, which had the same GDP as Kenya in the 70s took off like a rocket. In the same time the two are in different leagues.
Am not taking down what we have gained, but we could be better only if we let of of the pacifier that is 'colonisation put us here'. It is growing old fast.
Loving AfcFTA and what it represents. Watching keenly how the african countries respond to it.
Ironically, I could not help listening to the undertones of this talk and hearing them echo what UDA party has been preaching. The guest speaker even has their party colour on ( but I digress).
I am Kenyan and we mostly do not blame colonialism. We have continually and repeatedly blamed GRAND CORRUPTION.
@@mukuhi indeed. Caught that bottom up approach.
Even Lee Kuan Yew. Kagame's hero, understood this.
Indeed in Kenya we do have grand corruption that is the puncture in our wheels. However in intellectual conversations many still fall on the numbing effects of neo colonialization on our attempts to grow. We cannot ignore the feelers connecting to pre colonial industry that control most sectors of the economy. What am saying is we have enough time, resource and sovereignty to alter some of these to encourage this bottom up economy. Grand corruption is sucking at that teat hence dampening attempts to clean out the slate.
Kenya needs a Kagame who places. As Trump says, country first. Most of who we have had have been paying homage to status quo which leaves open back doors to economic control.
Look at the major industries and connect the dots to the LSE and NYSE.
It is commendable that the speakers are moderate in their views on the matter. When we (esp in Kenya) try to have a discourse on economic empowerment, we are bombarded by extreme suggestions. E.g as in the intellectual circles you mentioned, they dissect one symptom and really go on a tangent with it. Whereas the other extreme will avoid looking into past experiences and insist on all local problems being solved through local solutions.
In that melee the conversation is drowned and a politician steps in to create their own palatable narrative to win the populace over.
Economic power is the main incentive to gain political power in Kenya. We have to appreciate that the former colonies in the continent have varied characteristics. The Kenyan solution to economic empowerment would be to dwell at the confluence of the interests of those in govt and economic activities of the people.
I have made an observation on some of our economic activities. Neo-colonialism has continually fed us through media and schooling on the limited ways of advancing ourselves economically. We need to use our advantage of knowing local terrain, markets and practices in advancing economically.
Our demented politicians (democrats) in the US do the same thing to blacks in the US that African cultures in the worst economies do to their citizens.. its a cynical pandering for votes but it does psychological damage to those who believe it. Her approach can change everything if she can get the buy in needed.
Any African country that does this will be invaded and coups. Africa had over 25 different coups in 10 years. Whenever a African governments try to make policy changes, they are overthrown.

This is so good. As someone who was brown in the DRC and grew up in South Africa, these Africans leaders need to hear this. I’m tired of Africa being the joke of the world, economically, this is why we need leaders, not more politicians
Amen!
Victimism
This lady is spot on. She refers to Lee Kwan Yew of Singapore - he studied Law at Cambridge University and it was the rigid application of English Common Law and the suppression of corruption that has in large part led to Singapore's success and is being replicated in the UAE which whilst having a Sharia base of law, enables English Common Law to be applied.
People are so naive. Africa has resources that make it a bigger target than little Singapore. She is done a good job covering for the colonizers like Bill Gates, who pretend to be helping. So gullible.
Lee Kwan Yew was deeply inspired by conservative politicians of India. He was a pen friend with many in India.
He had many letters exchanges with late Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Both of them mentioned in their biographies.
It was Atal Bihari Vajpayee who supported Lee Kwan Yew against aggressive attempts by Malaysia, Britain and China.

Colonialism was definitely a factor in the current state of Africa. It's not the only reason or even the main reason, but it's there, and it negatively affected African politics, economy and society. Read up on what happened in Congo and its repercussion to the modern day - Belgians really went psycho there. Some places are worse than others, but impact of Europeans wasn't good on African people. She's not bringing that up here, because she's being interviewed by a right wing professor. But, just because she doesn't talk about it doesn't mean she's not thinking it.

@matthewheald8964
Then get off your duff and look it up.
I'm Ghanaian and I agree... Terrible leadership and corruption is our problem
Here is the common story about the conquest of Africa from slavery, to European colonization, to neo-colonization. Africa is never short of leaders who are willing to disrupt their home, sell their locals, so they can enrich their immediate circles while the lot suffer.
During slavery European business men relied on collaborators to cause havoc and make it easy for them to pick slaves. The same happened during colonization as some "senior chiefs," home guards, and apparently supposed freedom fighters supported colonizers for wealth and power. Today we could point out multiple African country rich with resources but the populace is poor while politicians keep making deals with Western and Eastern firms. Guess what. The politicians are filthy rich, their children enjoying life in high end properties in London and other major cities while Africans are left poor. Unable to even make $1 a day.
That said, African leaders just lack the political good will to develop their regions. It is no secret that effective leaders mind about their people more than or as much as themselves. I am yet to see a similar leader in my country (Kenya). All leaders operate from a "benefit to myself first" point. Any development or business initiative must have benefits for the leader to succeed. Starting a sensible business in my country requires an arm and a leg in terms of permits, licenses etc. There is very little incentive to create businesses which should in turn create employment opportunities. Yet we have a functioning parliament which doesn't hesitate to increase its salaries and slash taxes for themselves at the slightest opportunities. Our leaders are in a race to amass wealth for when they retire that they forget the country will outlive them.
The most frightening part is that instead of learning about the dangers of corruption, most Africans are only learning about how much corruption could make them. It is common to see young people wish they had government jobs so they can manipulate financial figures to benefit themselves. We have accepted it as a norm that anyone in a position to "eat" should utilize it for their family to prosper because that is their time.
There is just so much to say about Africa's underdevelopment and 99.99% of it is down to ourselves. White people have no power over how we run our countries. Yes, they have arrested us in loans and may call shots on out tax systems. But they did not inflate budgets and misappropriate funds meant to complete whole projects, they did not steal Covid relief funds, they did not steal money meant to improve our education systems, they did not "kill" the huge coffee, tea, and sugar industries that have died since the end of colonization. White people are not the reason a village in rural Kenya does not have a footbridge over a huge river for students to cross. It is our incompetence and greed.
Typical white apologist
And how's it going with China?
Very courageous response.
But, if you're seeing the truth perhaps many others will. That's the beginning of change.
How's it going with Europe? The European need corrupt people so they can preach about human rights.
@@juliafox52 nothing has changed. Both China and the West are serving their interests in Africa. Pretending to help while strategizing on securing massive amounts of resources for themselves.

We could use more of her. "Please let's move on from that." That would be great. She also realizes that it's not just specifically Europe that engaged in the practice of colonization, so she actually understands history and human nature.

Norway was colony under Denmark for 400 years, then partly under Sweden for almost another 100 years, and look what it is now, if one wants to look at prosperity.

Yes, taking responsibility for the future and moving on is the key.
You should take heed to how she and her country ended up in this place, because when it happens to you and your location, I don't think you will have the same response and say "please let's move on from that"

Expounding Western ideologies and without necessarily reflecting sincerely on the role of Europeans in Africa will seem to be the truth to some if not many Western civilised Africans. As opposed to an African using Western education to find himself/herself he/she is more concerned about being accepted by Europeans. What's it that's beneath or on top of Africa is owned by an African and which African country is truly independent?.
Africa is no poor because of Colonization. One of the reasons why it is mostly poor is because of a concept known as "Dead aid."
As a Ugandan here, I can tell you that most of the reason we backslide is because of corruption, from the president down to the village level officials.

Hopefully this will help us develop faster

@@johnquigley5412 Its common knowledge, and what I like to call "Psychology 101", that if one has no argument to respond with, one usually resorts to personal attack and tyranny of the conversation. To say this in simple terms, you have no ideas, no argument, no point and, frankly, no maturity it seems. I second the guy who says "classic leftist response".
You say that because she agrees with you. If she said the opposite, shed be a woke blm sjw moralist
Her clarity is amazing.
I love how she pointed out how colonization has happened throughout all of advanced human history and the majority of ppl just notice the most recent events out of ignorance. Not enough ppl talk abt it.
& what you don't understand is that the west still have a big hand in African countries from the leaders which are elected to the resources produced. Unlike a singapore which cannot be influenced as easily (for obvious reasons), which is all the after effect of colonization
Colonization Slavery has been going on since the beginning of time if people do their research it’s right there! The problem is we have been brainwashed manipulated lied to for a long time about history it only now people are coming to realization that we were Duped about our history!
@@eddy562African leaders are the Most Corrupt, Irresponsible, Incapable leaders in the world single handedly selling out all its countries wealth natural resources to individuals who can Bribe as much as they can! Indians, Lebanese, Arabs are the ones run the economy in Africa!
@@mainkamra7491 selling out to who? Youre absolutely correct but you’re also conveniently missing out the part where you acknowledge it’s the western governments which hide behind companies such as black rock which have put counties under crippling debt. Western Countries have literally overthrown great previous leaders of African nations who sought to use advance Aftica’s economy such as Kwame Nkrumah & Gaddafi & replace them with puppets happy to sell out their country. So it’s hilarious you brush past colonisation as if it’s just a moment in history or because everyone was doing it which they were indeed but when it’s so clearly still plays a part in the county till this day that is where I have to disagree. Little bit of a stupid comparison comparing the colonisation of Singapore to Africa as if they’re even remotely the same

Did the Spanish set up schools for education,introduce laws,court systems,engineering etc. or did they just loot the country and leave?

Thank you so much for making this video. As an African myself (Nigerian, specifically) it always annoys me when most people only attribute Africa's current problems to "colonialism or racism", effectively removing personal responsibility of us Africans, and ignore more important factors like geography, climate, socioeconomic systems, political unity and leadership. Thanks for focusing on those areas.
You only hear this in intellectually weak pan African arguments. However, highlighting the role of colonialism is a start.
@@idaeom so how does the "role of colonialism" apply to Singapore?
@@mcul3474 lack of the theftable resources. Indian scholars have written books on the effects of colonialism
@@mcul3474 Let's start with the fact that Singapore is just one island that barely had only about 1000 people living on the island, mostly indigenous Malays along with a handful of Chinese.
Singapore was majorly a Straits Settlements "port town". This is far from the story in Africa. Berlin Conference etc.
I guess my point is, the situation of Africa is a bit more complicated than deconstructing the effect of colonialism.
OP is a fake bot posting pseudo intellectual U.S Republican talk points. You can tell as they usually don’t respond to comments.

@@AC-mp7cx definitely, you’re right! But for the entire continent? What parts specifically? Areas that are industrialized and how many?

She didn’t understand anything. She is just brainwashed. The problem in Africa and everywhere are the politicians and administration, who chose the politicians? Not people, they put corrupted politicians to destroy countries and here we are.
@@EazyIsi i dont really understand your comment.
@@spicynomad better, keep being brainwashed
This is so relatable to me living in a developing, poor country. Our country is poor because bad leaders and bad management. Instead of developing the country politicians and rich use it for fast personal gains, destroying the economy in the process. They thought it's easier to force people work aboard, so they can send money here. Talking about Moldova.
How long is your country going to be called a ' developing country' ? It's not by accident, it's by design. Those same leaders that you're blaming get orders from men above them
I thought you were mexican, guatemalan or salvadoran
@@AC-mp7cx It's always easier to blame others, isn't it? This is exactly the mindset that she is talking about. Yet she is an African winner and you are here on TH-cam watching her videos. That just goes to show what changing your mindset might do for you... and for your nation.

@@AC-mp7cx you spam this everywhere, I hope you’re ready for discussion
I am only 4 minutes in the video. I am already sold on the concept. Great content please bring more African stories. We need to educate the coming generations so that this land can be a better place for our descendants. Thank you again
Ms. Wade really knows her stuff. JP's respect for her is well deserved. She is absolutely right that a country's international respect depends on it's economic strength.
Brilliant and articulate, she has seen past the rhetoric and understand the true nature of the African conundrum. It is a little more complex than just economics, but that is where the key lies.
Please elaborate
I wish she was an American politician.
It isn't more complicated than economics; rather, economics is more complicated than most understand.
@@bahriboy Singapore isn't successful just because of its economic structure. Its success also has to do with the fact that it's an anti-communist and intensively conservative and traditionalist country that hires the best people for the job and utilizes the government to stomp out any threats. It does what is best for its people and always does what pragmatically works. It also helps that their populace is highly educated and intelligent. They've taken a few detours lately by becoming westernized and starting to destigmatize certain deviations, but they're likely small steps with insignificant meaning. Most people don't know that this country scores better than almost all western countries when it comes to economic prosperity, corruption, security, crime, drug use, obesity, access to essentials, etc.
@@anacc3257 and so it begs the question whether it’s worth sacrificing a degree of freedom for a more efficient economy and society. Any countries decision at the voting booth I suppose.
As a South-African I can attest that corruption runs very deeply throughout our politics and monopolies like Eskom that don't provide a sufficient service to its public. A country with so much potential that is being crippled by the rich politicians that are only in it for the personal gain.
lol ur the colonizer they are talking about chill
@@jakemac9873 thanks for that ignorant and pointless reply mate.
@@jakemac9873 I think you should chill. Poor black South Africans themselves say that, for example, conditions in schools were better for them during the apartheid than they are now. Not to mention other things. It speaks volumes, doesn´t it? So the terrible colonizers brought more prosperity and better life conditions even for the supressed majority than the current governments. How come? There are even some brave black South Africans who say that formerly prosperous SA companies are going bankrupt because the current leadership is there not because of their knowledge and experience but because of their ties to government! They even say that this is what makes them different from whites who had their best people in those positions!
And yeah, your knowledge is probably so limited, if any, that you have no idea about Bantu (Black) settlement in SA. They themselves moved and colonized SA at the same time European were settling there! And BOTH of them were driving out Khoi San peoples into desert areas. Khoi Sans are culturally and ethnically completely different from Bantu tribes. The Bantu farmers were only able to colonize those lands after they had acquired crops suitable for subtropical climate such as maize. Have no doubt they were not nice to Khoi Sans who used to live in that area for millenia. So talk about colonizers then!
Corruption here is a massive hindrance.
@@jakemac9873 his ancestors were colonizers, but as a black South African, I do not think that means he cannot criticize corruption in our country because it affects all of us, especially the poor. I appreciate the honesty, because there's not enough of that at times.
This woman can nurture an entire generation 👏🏿
I'm African (Kenyan specifically) and I can say the reason we are still poor is that we have leaders who only want to fill their pockets and not help the regular mwananchi. And the CORRUPTION. OH THE CORRUPTION 😭.
But yeah Kenya is one of the vastly developing countries in Africa and despite it's flaws, I'm still proud to be a Kenyan
That´s exactly the point , Corruption and civil war between different groups in African countries , has and is the problem .
Dont forget. The first past the post electoral system virtually guarentees that only two parties will ever have a shot at being in government, which means mp's are not really held accountable in elections. There are much beter electoral systems nowadays.

@@siriusblack5187 Why is that important? So that you can go "My country suffered more than yours, you got this and that". FFS grow a pair and stop crying about things you cant change and cry about things that you can change like your leaders. There's enough wealth in most country's that can benefit the whole country if someone sees to it that it is shared about equally.
My country is going the other way already so that the wealth gap increases every year... I do blame capitalism but at the core its our leaders filling their own pockets instead of making it better.
I do understand that it might be hard to get rents down if you have invested yourself in "real estate" but if you get rents down and the wealth gap reduced you then have a bigger buying power in the population that again will support more businesses and so on but the equation is a bit more complicated than just doing one thing.
