Why is Africa Still So Poor?
Why is Africa Still So Poor?
The African continent is famous for its poverty… But many people don’t know the complete reason why Africa is so poor. In this video we will look from the point when African countries were rich and powerful, how over the centuries Africa lost its wealth, and why Africa hasn’t been able to crawl out of it’s poverty while so many other…

I am receiving A LOT of racist and uninformed comments on this video every day and I want to adress them here.
1. Sub-saharan Africa didn't develop any written language
This is simply incorrect. A prominent example of the Ge'ez script. But there are several others.
2. They couldn't even invent the wheel (in sub-Sahara Africa)
Anyone who says this doesn't know how wheels work.
They did have the wheel, but it was of no use to them. In order to use wheels for transport you need a lubricant. In Europe, Asia, and North Africa they had the wild boar (and later the domesticated pig). These were animals with a lot of fat which could be used to lubricate those wheels. But they are not native to Sub-Saharan Africa. Without sufficient and cheap fat wheels were useless. It's why places that didn't have easy access to fat didn't use wheels.
Even with our modern technology we still need to use lubricants… If anyone thinks a pre-industrial civilization could fix this issue, which we still can't fix today, needs to lower their expectations.
On top of that, Africa has a lot of rivers and African river ships were so incredibly advanced that when Europeans tried to invade Africa in the 16th-18th centuries that they were easily defeated by the local Africans.
3. Africa didn't have any countries/empires
Even a short google search easily disproves this.
Here are just 20 of them: Mali Empire, Ghana Empire, Songhai Empire, Kanem-Bornu Empire, Sokoto Caliphate, Jolof Empire, Oyo Empire, Benin Empire, Kaabu Empire, Aro Confederacy, Ashanti Empire, Kong Empire, Bamana Empire, Wassoulou Empire, Kongo Kingdom, Luba Empire, Lunda Empire, Zulu Kingdom, Maravi Empire, Rozvi Empire.
Another factor, that was not mentionned in the video, may have been important : horses.
Horses played a major role in european societies, from agriculture to mail.
But in tropical africa, you can't breed horses. Because trypanosomiasis, the disease carried by tsetse flies, kill them off like crazy.
There are other reasons:
– When I first visited South Korea, whole Seoul was like a Santy town with no single high-rise building. Then, under the Marshal plan, America gave grants (free money) to develop S. Korea. West did not help develop Africa
– Irish Americans help develop Ireland. Unfortunately, selfish African Americans do not do so.
Lets bring huge farming and manufacturering industrialization and teach this young generations at school and churches then will develop
Foreign aid and politics re re distroying Africa for example if you keep feeding a child up to eighteen years that child wilm never go to look for food so knowledge is power with out knowledge we re doomed and for me i will never be cheated by these politicians who gives money and food instead of giving knowledge of how to make food and money for my self
My dear if we keep on blaming those that hve exploit African resources and corruption we wont develop but let's start teaching each other and our children about work saving and investing we will improve
After hearing this massage in 2021 i also discovered that low erning salaries, not having knowledge of savings and investing in small different typpe of businesses from each one of African individual to increase on multiplying of our finances then we don't save for our children as they grow and teach them on how they can survive without a job of earning a salary month-end whilst our majority of our parents and guidians tought there children on doing juju to protect there jobs, money, and business juju
Am from Zambia 🇿🇲 according to this massage i have seen the big mistakes our four father's did was about lucking knowledge on how they can defend themselves from there enemies
I listened to this massage in 2021 and this massage has changed my thinking capacity and to day 2024 I have listened to it again for it's building me up
Hope this will be head to this young generation of Africans
Africa has to poor so that the others can be rich and developed. Africa has all the natural resources and thus why the developed took power and controlled everything. The nature of power might have changed but the real power is ihe hands of the the developed and powerful nations. Anybody can write about this issue a book with a thousand pages from 1880 to 2024. Africa will remain poor and the highly developed countries will continue developed and more rich. The African leaders have no visions and addicted to power and wealth. Therefore, they prefer to stay in power and never give up anything for the people. This leads to war, conflicts and corruption. The rest is history and I invite every African to add comments if possible solutions. The solutions are in the hands of the developed countries 😢. What are going to do?
Inferior culture
Fertility rates are too high – the average black African woman has 5 babies 💀💀💀
Bullshit, whitewashed account of African history.
Africa will never prosper in this lifetime. I don't see how. I'm in South Africa, even after getting a working country, ANC broke it. Corruption is in our DNA
Nothing said in this video comes any where closer to the truth. The truth lies in the Scriptures, namely, Devariym/Deuteronomy 28:1-68, especially verse 68. The other thing the video is trying to hide is what the DNA technology says, that the ONLY HUMANS ARE PEOPLE GENERALLY KNOWN AS BLACKS. The rest are hybrids with some DNA from humans, some from the Neanderthal apes, some furthermore from the Denisovan apes, but ALL of them, with no exceptions, have some DNA said to be "of UNKNOWN ORIGIN or of UNASSIGNED ORIGIN", terms probably used to hide the DNA from the FALLEN ANGELS. Watch here on YouTube a video by Danny Vendramini titled, Neanderthal, profile of a super predator. This will open your eyes to know who is a HUMAN and who is a HYBRID. The hybrids have sort to insert themselves into OUR SCRIPTURES by whitewashing our forefathers to appear to have been of Caucasian stock. The hybrids are trying so hard to appear superior to us and smarter than us. However, their low levels of neuromelanin and high levels of calcification as compared to our respective levels has led them to stealing our inventions and innovations and claim to be theirs, many a time after enforcing laws prohibiting the registration of inventions and innovations by us humans. We were handed over to them on a silver platta for slavery and colonization as chastisement and punishment for idolatry. However, the time is coming, and yes, it is not far away, that Chizayon/Revelations 13:10 will come to pass as sure as the day follows the night, "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity". It is said, "The higher they go, the harder they fall". From the life of plentiful, that they enjoy currently, to the coming life of their captivity, will be one of their greatest pains the hybrids will ever experience, and many will call on death upon themselves because of this captivity. On top of that, their genetic makeup that includes the DNA from the FALLEN ANGELS has condemned them to hell right from conception, "Ye serpents, generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell", we are all familiar with that scripture. The DNA technology has revealed that, the ancient Israelites that lived in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas of Judea as far back as 400BC to 800BC, the Negroes and the Bantus, are of haplotype e1b1a, meaning that they all are the biological and genetic descendants of Jacob/Israel/YAHshar'el. All this information is being hidden in this video, probably deliberately more than through ignorance. The government of Israel 🇮🇱 is doing everything in their power to prevent their citizens from taking ancestral/genetic DNA tests for fear it will expose the biggest lie ever told, that they are Jews ✡ while the Scriptures call them the synagogue of Satan as is written in Chizayon/Revelations 2:9 and 3:9. We are the chosen people of Yahuah, us, the Hebrew Israelites/YAHshar'elites (Negroes and Bantus). Praise be to our Heavenly Father Yahuah The Most High Elohim of Israel/YAHshar'el, the Elohim of our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel/YAHshar'el, our Elohim. Shalom.
I can buy into a lot of what you are saying in terms of causes of African stagnation after countries became independent. I would however point out a glaring example which challenges your opinions. When they gained independence the country of Botswana had 2km of paved roads in the entire country and nobody with a third level education, yet they stood alone in the continent throughout the late 20th century in their development and economic growth. The key difference was Botswana did not get into the debt spiral that was caused by the dependence on aide from the West like the vast majority of other African nations !!
Same as Solomon Islands
This also happened in south pacific
Africa is not Poor. African People are being Robbed of it's Resources By The West, France, and Other Greedy Countries.
Biggest problem is that they are black.
