metta Posted September 13, 2013 I don't know why it is taboo to address this topic. Africans hate to acknowledge it. Or if they do, they blame the white man for their problems. Why is every single African country the state it is today? We don't even have 1 African country that can be compared with to N.A, Europe, Australia or Japan, SK, Taiwan, etc. When will there be a rich, technologically advanced, developed and highly educated Africa? Year 5000? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad_Mullah Posted September 13, 2013 If Siyad Bare stayed we would be at Egypt's level but every country has their version of HAG that keeps them down -- celebrating the building of a hotel by a man living in London and getting food from Turks.

metta Posted September 13, 2013 Somalia would have not have been at Egypt's level. Only a few roads were even paved by 1991. We were entirely dependent on aid. I mean entirely dependent. All we would have had was peace, which is good. But we would be poor then too. Why do people think Somalia was advanced before the war? It was worse economically then than now.

Wadani Posted September 13, 2013 Subsaharan Africans (excluding the Horn) have less native intelligence compared to other peoples of the world. Somalia could have even surpassed Egypt in terms of development if the war off 77 had either been won or not been waged to begin with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you'd act all disgusted if a Cadaan said that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bro, I'm Isa@q and i'm anti-SNM...that should tell u something about me. If something is the truth then its the truth, and I won't let emotions or allegiances cloud my ability to formulate a rational opinion based on the facts.

Haatu Posted September 13, 2013 I am not poor, neither am I rich. I am not unintelligent, in fact every classroom I have ever walked into, I went in with the belief I am the most gifted there. I am not hopeless as I have hope in Allah providing. But you Herr Metta, you are unintelligent as you cannot see your own potential. You are hopeless as you wallow in your own self-pity. And by God you are poor as you seem to lack the faith that Allah will provide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tell whoever teaches you at HQ they're doing a great job Bloody basaas. Uff. Besides, if the poster equates Africa's poverty with lack of intelligence then they don't deserve a serious reply.

Haatu it's never a good idea to cite an exception to the rule when the preponderance of a thing/phenomenon is being discussed. In my estimation, the law of averages would place u towards the end of the right side of the bell curve if a representative sample of Africans was used as the population for a study. U would still place to the right of the median if the sample only included cadaans, cushites etc, but not nearly as deviated from the mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
