There's a dozen 'Back to Africa' threads on here. It's nice to post pics and videos but they don't paint a complete picture or tell the whole story. We can't all go back to Africa 'just because'. We need a real strategy....some concrete ideas. Us being Americans/Europeans puts us at a huge advantage over the native Africans as we have money and education. We need to muster a way to leverage those resources and make a meaningful contribution to Africa.

I think it's a good idea to first take advantage of being in the US/EU by obtaining a degree and 'getting our money up'........THEN go to Africa. Africa needs more engineers, doctors, businessmen, programmers, etc. In order for countries like Nigeria and South Africa to grow they need foreign investments. Better to have black foreign investors than Chinese/Americans/Europeans. The dollar maybe devaluing but our money still goes a long way in some of these countries.

I agree but at the same time I don't think Black Foreigners have a right to tell native Africans what and how to run their system and way of life.

Right, and no one is advocating that. It's still their land and country. @Angelic Servers is right though, unless you have family or other close ties in a particular country, one has to be strategic for such a move. Why not help fill-in a gap a country has in a particular field in order to improve it.

Concerning leverage, I'd say it'll depend on what the country needs. For example, many of these countries are trying to improve their healthcare infrastructure, especially with diseases like ebola being out there like that. If you are a medical practitioner or administrator with experience in such a thing, that's something to look into.

Point being, its not about dictating how the countries should act, ultimately, they (the governments and / or consumers) will accept your help / services or not. But the nations need investments and /or talented individuals to further develop their nations. Blacks in the diaspora have that. Gotta find out which country or countries can be a fit for you.

How?

It's clear with all the "modern" post "Africa is just like us" Some people do want a highly westernize lifestyle.

There is nothing wrong with that but at the same time I think what makes Africa great is that is not entirely spoiled with westernized shyt.

Folk's on here complain about living in the south and wouldn't even think about living in rural south but want to move to fukking Africa.

Don't get me started on NYer's talking about how NY is better where ever they go.....

It's an idiotic post because all of the cities posted are major African cities. The majority of the people in this thread (including myself) have never been to Africa so of course the most well know African cities are going to be posted. Google lists of top African cities and you'll find the exact same list of cities posted in this thread. And you're more than welcome to post videos/pictures of what the "real Africa" looks like.

Secondly why the hell are you talking about NY nikkas hating the south in the thread about Africa? What do you expect gonna happen? nikkas is gonna see the thread, quit their job, pack all their shyt up, move to an African country just to say "fukk Africa, America is way better?"

There's a dozen 'Back to Africa' threads on here. It's nice to post pics and videos but they don't paint a complete picture or tell the whole story. We can't all go back to Africa 'just because'.

No one is advocating everyone move back to Africa because we both know damn well the majority of black folks have no desire to move there and live there. Secondly this isn't a thread on how to move to Africa. It's a thread about what everyday life is like for some Africans. You know how long it took me to find the videos I posted in the OP? I was searching all over Google and YouTube trying to find positive images of Africa and all I kept running into were pictures of abject poverty and starvation.

Read the replies of the people in this thread who are absolutely shocked that Africa isn't a giant cesspool of war disease and famine because that's literally all we see in the media about the continent. I was picking up some food and the news was playing and they're going on and on about how dangerous Africa is and no one should go because Ebola is there.
