Thoughts?: We will ever see a fully developed African country?

[tuckgod]

No.

None of the current “nations” are built on a solid foundation and will never do the honest work to build one.

 

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

Yes, those countries have developed a lot of the past few years but that's an exaggeration. There are not many areas in those countries that make America look 3rd world.

Again, if you have never been then you can't confidently say that.

Lol I have been so I can confidently say that.

Breh no offense but no where in Africa makes the US looks 3rd world

even in the poorest rural areas of the US the houses are ugly but they got paved roads and town is filled wit new cars and trucks


meanwhile in Nigeria richest city

Some parts of Nairobi will make some parts on NYC look like a 3rd world country and vice versa of course. Most of Cape Town shyts on 95% of the U.S.

Yes, there are very small pockets of Nairobi that look better than extremely poor parts of NYC. But its a 99-1 ratio vice versa. If Biden went to Nairobi today and said anyone who wants to leave can come to America, the airport would be flooded with Kenyans. And Cape Town is nothing to really brag about since the wealth is still overwhelmingly controlled by White people.

Which ones are almost there?

Some uppity nikkas on this site.

Keep trusting this broken Babylonian system if you want to.

Yes an everlasting kingdom will be born in Africa.

There’s plenty of competence, need more integrity.

I agree in principle but practically that's a tall order anywhere in the world.
How many of the worlds current leaders (last 5 years or so) have demonstrated integrity, it'd be simpler to develop by getting a group with the same vision and executing it.
Integrity can later be instilled in the culture similar to how Rwanda tackled litter.

That’s why I asked because OP did not define development. If that is the metric, then only a fraction of the world is “fully developed”.

I did not create the thread from reddit but personally, I'll probably define it by HDMI as other posters put since it's the most "measurable". I do agree that the US itself has terrible inequality and a flawed standard on economic development.

Nigeria's richest city is Abuja not Lagos. . .Lagos is the biggest commercial or financial area or the most important place for business

there's other places in Nigeria less chaotic than Lagos

like Uyo









Lagos is the way it is because so many people came there for the economic opportunities without adequate infrastructure built to handle that many people

At some point. Won't be one of the francophone countries.

The real question is going to be, which of the African countries will be willing to ensure the bottom of their production model is exploiting another African nation?

 

[EndDomination]

Impossible to do without extreme consequences, that has never worked well for any country.

We don’t live in a fairy tale land. Nor does a country exist in a vacuum especially Rwanda.

Any country that seeks to challenge global capitalist imperialism will have to go to war with these economic powers. Or play their game. Just look at how many socialist movements were destroyed in Africa by those powers. Just look to the USSR to see how far in development any country has ever gotten in regards to socialism.

On the flip side, an African country could go the China route of racing to build nukes. And then transitioning full swing into state-capitalism built off slave labor and massive exploitation/inequality.

One thing you have mistaken is the definition of “developed” in my view you cannot be a developed county unless you are a global threat to capitalist imperialist empires. Rwanda is nowhere near that.

Sit this one out, you obviously don’t understand how communism works in practice breh.

Every single nation that had massive developmental progress in the 20th century did it one of two ways, they either became a puppet-state for the U.S. and the UK - or they went the socialist route -

Not unless they can invent or innovate next generation defense and weaponry.

 

[Sindicated]

The only thing really stopping Africa is greedy politicians who only give af bout making their pockets fatter and foreign obstruction.

That being said if more western educated Africans moved back to Africa and brought that knowledge with them as well as knowing the inner working on how Western/Eastern nations try to exploit Africa and are put in positions of power Africa could very well be a continent full of power house nations.

The main issue I see is Africa building up its military, because white nations especially will try and make up bullshyt reasons to invade/obstruct Africa if they see African nations prospering just like they did in the states anytime Black People got there’s without the help of the government.
