All talk and no work all of you. Why would anyone want to change the system but for those left out of the looting ring? We are wazuans. We should be discussing how to liberate ourselves economically while letting these corrupt leaders save face and still eat a little chicken.
Anything more and they shut us down.

@Mutaga, this is the reason why: When Europeans invaded Africa they applied the 4 basic principles of any occupant forces:

1. First, kill the strong and loot the place

2. Second, breed the weak

3. Third, kill, deport or exile the smartest and the skilled ones

4. Fourth, impose the golden colonial rule "My way or the Highway"

So the Kings and descendants were all killed. Additionally, 3 centuries of transatlantic slavery exported over 12 millions of the finest men and women from Africa to America, tens of millions died in the process.

Now imagine, what would happen to any country or civilization when almost all writers, storytellers, engineers, craftsmen, artists, leaders are killed or exiled? And further, any sign of their past glory and ingenuity destroyed or burned? Their "books" and historical records of knowledge stolen or destroyed?

That Caucasian friend of yours knows this. And he takes you for a fool for not knowing your history. But how would you know?

We need to re-discover ourselves and take baby steps back on track again... But our leaders are selling their countries...

Oh yes, let's blame everyone and everything except ourselves. What scientific method did they use to breed weak ones like us and kill off the smart ones? Even the Romans did the same to the English a few centuries after Christ and that is why the weak ones had brexit.

Africa is poor because:
1.We lack discipline to create wealth.
2.We manage our resources poorly.
