I have had debates on here about various issues. One of the debates was about why Africa is always in disarray.
So I talked to a guy from Nigeria and asked him why?
He looked at me and said.
It's simple of why Africa is in bad shape. He said....
Too many difference of opinions of how things should be. He said for example.
In Nigeria. There are over 500 different tribes. With various languages and cultures.
I told him my doctor was from Nigeria to. He said... What is his name.
I told him.
He goes.
Ah... an EBO man with a smile.
I said what's the smile about.
He said.. No offense to your doctor. But we DON'T TRUST EBO guys.
I said why..
He said they are shady and are money hustlers.
I said wow.
He said there are tons of African tribes that HATE EACH other.
Basically he said it's no different than DIE HARD LIBERALS fighting against DIE HARD CONVERSATIVES.
He said.. just imagine if there were 500+ political parties all with various thought processes. He said how much in fighting would there be.
He said. it has nothing to do with intelligence or anything like that.
He said it's all about ego. Such as "Our tribe" is better then your "tribe".
I thought this was interesting.
Having 500 tribes with different languages likely matters a great deal, but it's probably not be the biggest issue standing in the way of Africa's success.
Africa has many countries full of people with an average IQ of around 60 to 80. In more successful regions, the average IQ is around 100-107. The gap is so wide that Western countries consider people with IQs of 60 to 80 to be mentally disabled and in need of special care and supervision. They are considered to have the mental ability of 8 to 10-year-olds. They have problems with comprehension, memory, language, abstract concepts, social cues, planning, logic, and more.
Individuals are unique and of course there are high and low-IQ individuals in every nation. But the idea that significantly lower average IQ by nation plays no role in Africa's issues is harmful. You can't solve problems when you can't even acknowledge what's contributing to them.
Where are these IQ test to all Africans? Is it a government mandatory test?
