1- When the Europeans came to enslave Africa they used Africans to steal fellow Africans and sell to them. My grand mother used to tell us stories of how in times past the Hausas used to fight and kidnap our people in Kaduna and many middle Belt areas to be used or sold as slaves. She used to tell us how wicked the so called Queen Amina who's idolized today was. How many so called 'Hausas' today are actually Northern minorities who've been conquered and converted to Islam, more like the Yorubas of Ilorin and Co.
How many bodies of our people are used and can be found between the walls of Zazzau(Zaria).

Our wickedness to each other and lack of empathy and unity and the inability to see the likeness and humanity in each other at any given time is the first and main reason for Africa's underdevelopment.
We are desperately jealous and wicked to the next person.

2- Perpetual Inferiority Complex. I used to hear people talk about how amazing and incredible the Caucasians and Asians are and how they're better because they have better minds. My story.....

I know in order for me to be extraordinary I need to see myself as capable of anything and nobody better than me just for being born different. So while in School in Kaduna State, we used to hear how Yorubas and Igbos are more intelligent, I refused to take that submission. We were constantly being sent home for inability to pay school fees but we still did our best and the principal told me many times how intelligent I am and how far I would have gone if only we could pay school fees and remain in school.

I used the same formula in everything and I discovered "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me", intellectually and physically outperforming in any field I am passionate about. Then I discovered the secret these other races have that we as a people hasve lost. Focus, consistency, persistency, passion and dedicating yourself to that specific goal till you summount.

If we as Africans most progress and begin to excel first there most be UNITY, we most begin to see one another not in the prism of TRIBE or RELIGION but as individual humans capable of doing good. Then we most see ourselves as having the capability and ability to be the best at anything we set our minds to, not seeing the Asians our Caucasians as being better than us in anything.

We most change the way we see one another and we most change our character. We most not measure our worst with them but continue to seek to be miles better than they could ever dream about. We most stop running from problems but go at it head on

Africa is NOT under developed
We are a steady work in progress
Let's be careful with our utterances and take steps to be part of the solution not criticising leaders of past

It was because Islam stopped Africans from sharing knowledge with Europe about 1600 years ago when Islam was introduced in North African.

Africa now has 1600 years of catching up to do.

You definitely know nothing about this topic of discuss or the history thereof, this one is not for you.

Then I need to give you a very good lecture on European history and why they are so technologically ahead of Africa.
