- Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: utm.io/ueSXh
Dr. Jordan B Peterson and Magatte Wade discuss how economic freedom dictates the success potential of countries, and how Africa’s fixation on colonialism being the cause of their modern day struggles, rather than bureaucratic red tape, is what’s locking the continent into abject poverty.
Magatte Wade is an entrepreneur for change, having focused her efforts first on raising awareness and capital with her lip balm company, Skin is Skin. She would then become a TED Global Africa Fellow, giving lectures with the aim of changing the course of Africa’s history, and giving the rich continent a brighter future based on the free market.

As a Nigerian our politicians are are destroying the country, the corruption and corrupt politicians in Nigeria is beyond belief, a country so blessed with natural resources and human capital and yet so poor.
We have the same problem with politicians in America.
They think it’s by zoning! You can see how dumb they are!
Same in Russia my friend, Neverending natural resources and corrupted totalitarian government, which keeps my country in poverty and now is destroying the neighboring countries.
Bad news for you, my friend. Countries with natural resources are usually doing worse. Because selling those resources gives government enough money so they have no incentive to do anything at all besides skimming that money. Historically, countries with less resources are forced to rely on innovation and progress.
It saddens me it's still like this. I'm a white Australian and travelled to Bonny island back in 2004/05 for work. Beautiful country and people, your government has not served you well.
I am from Ethiopia. Ethiopia was never colonized. what make us poor is 20 years of communism then 30 years of tribal politics.
Wasnt Ethiopia colonized by Italy?
@@origami83 Ethiopia was occupied by Italy not colonized. like France under Germany, Japan under U.S.A..Italians could not hold onto the whole country especially the country side. The whole country just descended into pure chaos. rebellion against the Italians continued until Britain finally decided to help. the last Ethiopian emperror plead the members of the league of nations to stand with the people of Ethiopia. They rejected his plea. to that he ended by saying "it is us today it will be you tomorrow".
@@samuelkibret7654Alright, thx for the info!
The only African country to not be colonized if I am not mistaken.
Ethiopia has labor controlling and owning the means of production?
Doubt it.
Singapore, when it began, was a pirate port, and it accepted everybody, as long as the ships came in to trade. This is economic freedom. Singapore is one of the most prosperous, developed nations in the world.
Clearly you've never been to Singapore. *Said in my best Captain Jack Sparrow voice.
If Africa was a continent full of people like this person, they would be wealthy.
It would be real life Vakanda
People like her exist all across africa and the middle east. They are either taken out or sidelined.
It's so refreshing to hear someone speaking up for their people in a way that doesn't paint their entire group as victims. We need more of this.
Agree. Particularly in the current age of victimhood
It's like how people paint the Mexican-American war, saying that the mexicans in texans were victims. The Mexicans in texas fought alongside the Americans during the Alamo, The Tejanos wanted to seperate from Mexico too.
Wooooaohaoaho. Based black lady! SO COOL! Let's import all of them and move them into the suburbs because of this one interview.
@@basedchango2172 and mexican a very precise ethnicity as mestizo which is already a mix with european blood !
all victimhood naratives were invented and specifically engineered and exagerated to divide people. Not that they should live divided which is a valid option but feminbism and alphabet mafia complaining and persecution exageration is never helpfull
One of the major ways Singapore achieved success was through the elimination of corruption. Status or wealth didn't matter when it came to punishing the corrupt and that is what kills most african economies. Our leaders know they can abuse finances and get away with it without facing any consequences.
They did achieve it through a dictatorship
The majority of African leaders know that they can depend on ethnic or religious sentiments when challenged on corruption. An African will back his kinsman even if he is the most hopeless and corrupt man in the world.
Thats not any different in The Netherlands at this moment. 6 billion is missing without receipts. The lost them.. dunno where the money went.. pharma laughs.. government laughs.. ministers laugh... nobody bats an eye
(Not saying its the same here, but simular things are happening here
Western aid is one of the largest reasons for the corruption. We further corruption by giving despots and dictators massive funds to further our agenda.
@@sulaak This is exactly the issue. This mindset elevates ethnicity above morality itself, and the devastating consequences are plain to see.
She is wonderful. The world needs so many more people like her.
I would like to see Africa to move on from the white Jesus that was brought to them.
@@jeromepowell1873 that’s what the colonizers permanently left behind.

You will never survive without people looking after you... the gal to say what you said. 3rd world is in your blood@@jeromepowell1873
Except she knows nothing about Geography. Dubai is not a country, Yemen and Venezuela are not in Africa.
@@jeromepowell1873 Christianity had made its way to Africa at least as far south as Ethiopia long before it was ever in Europe.
I'm from South Sudan. We've never been at peace since 1956 when our fight for independence began. Economic freedom was actually one of the top priorities we wanted independence for. 2011 came and we got the independence. We started off well for about 2 years and these self-centered leaders with no vision but to just occupy political seats fucked the country up. I don't see any sign of hope in sight for the nearby future. Major problems with these so-called leaders are lack of vision, corruption, external influence, a lot of tribal politics, nepotism, illiteracy (yes, more than 70% of our leaders have less than a high school diploma. They are carryovers from battlefields. All they know is to fight.)
An average high schooler here is more intelligent, more articulate, more informed and a better critical thinker than the president and the cabinet. We're eternally fucked. They recently gave China unregulated control of our oil up to 2027 for reasons no one has an idea about.
About the control of your oil? Kickbacks!
As an African I'm happy to have an African with this school of thought. We've been fed nonsense that has had us lost, lazy, corrupt and depressed.. Thank you for your voice
Well I'm loving hearing y'all speaking for yourselves instead of other people speaking for you. I'm tired of being told what's going on in Africa, I want to hear from Africans
"lost, lazy, corrupt and depressed" accusations are based on your history as a whole, not just right now.
Lets compare: China 2,500 to 2,000 years ago, dug out their rivers deeper, dug massive canals so they could dock ships safely, transport goods inland, as well as major arterials (roads, bridges) that created major workable economic cities.
Africans didn't, and they are poor today because of it, and still blame the lack of ports and un-navigable rivers for their economic woes. Ironically it is China today that is also doing it for Africa.
You guys are infinitely more powerful than Western victim ideology wants you to believe.
@@markmark5269 precisely
I find for the most part, that African people on the whole are quite based. At least those that come to the UK - via legal means.
I'm in Japan. I worked for a non-profit where we donated cancer treatment equipment worth millions to Africa. We later found out they were sold for profit throughout the country and abroad. All due to greedy politicians. It's been going on forever and probably won't change unless something severe happens. I was born Kisii Kenya and well aware of the issues in Africa. Once again JBP is on the money!
Give no aid. They will quickly remove these corrupt politicians and install people who CARE! There is nothing wrong with Africans, and they have some of the most amazing people but the 'macho' strongman politician is what rules.. they need to overthrow these idiots and prosper. I'm irish, and I wanna see Africa show its TRUE colours. We all know Africa is the next place of prosperity and I'm excited to see it. Long way to go but its so doable.
Yip. Corruption here all the time. Corruption is the norm in government here.
@@dirkmoolman I think it's the norm in all government lol
@@CleverGirlAAH _Of course_ there is some level of corruption in all governments, because all governments are run by humans. The point made here is that the corruption is at an unbelievable high amount, and at all levels.
Much like when the South African citizens murdered, terrorized, and ran off the white farmers (the "Boers") and then were given that farm land for free, they were also handed the seeds by the government, free of charge, to plant and farm their new land. What did they do? Sold the bags of seed and fertilizer on the black market and kept a portion for themselves to grind down into a flour to make (very untasty, non-nutritious) bread to eat. None of the seeds were planted, the ground sat bare and dry, and now South Africa is facing a famine, with 11% of their population starving, and that number is ever increasing.
Amen!!! May all of Africa hear you
Libya pre-2011 tried this.
As a Chinese, I appreciate the lady's compliment. In the beginning, we just wanted to have enough food to eat. We just encountered the opportunity of globalization, and we seized this opportunity at that time.
How is it going now under Winnie the poo? 😁 You are no longer growing without wasting more money on unnecessary infrastructure. China's debt mountain is now 270% of GDP and continuing to grow?
Straight up authoritarian commie...
Unfortunately, since the Government is communist China can not be a force for good. I pray for the people of China. I pray that the world is not affected any worse by China.
Why isn’t this extremely bright, insightful woman being heard all over Africa? What she says is SO, SO obvious!
Sure! TRUTH & LOGIC seems to be 'hated' or ignored by most human beings! And there are vast numbers of 'poor' people who are very, very scared of NEW IDEAS or just CHANGE! Just like a prisoner who has in prison for years and when 'freed' s/he prefers to REMAIN in the USUAL STATUS of being in prison. The challenges of living outside prison being 'feared' so much!
Because she is a direct threat to the agenda of the woke mob in the west, she talks too much sense
@@fumaninjaknownoequal Are you sure you aren’t questioning his statement because it does not echo your views…?
@@fumaninjaknownoequal You didn't listen very much.
Other countries managed to get out of poverty because they made it a goal to cater to business.
If you don't understand the implications of such a statement then you shouldn't be trying to debate global affairs. Are you trying to say that making business harder to conduct in your country is somehow going to increase your GPD? What exactly is your position that you need to be convinced out of? It seems fairly self evident that engaging in a free market is the best way for people who have money to want to do business with you.
It’s because she doesn’t really understand the Africans reality. She’s deluded by her comforts & association there with.
Lived in east Africa for 10 years. The corruption runs deep, and it’s ruining an entire continent, one country at a time.
Thanks to America and Europe whitewashing Africa to the core foh
They wanted their freeedom, they ahve it. Not our problem anymore.
@@tomjoad1363 Then tell Americans stop taking the resources when they leave it's call theft foh
@@tomjoad1363 so what's your point exactly? We would do better under colonization?
The corruption is EVERYWHERE. We have to clean up the mess and take accountability for leading our own communities. We are better off not watching tv or movies. The subliminal and bold content is corrosive.
As a Ugandan here, I can tell you that most of the reason we backslide is because of corruption, from the president down to the village level officials. When money gets sent down for things like roads and health care, it barely reaches but we changed the curriculum 2 years ago which I'm happy about and put an emphasis on entrepreneurship, individual thinking and raising a better future generation! Hopefully this will help us develop faster
I totally agree. Why do we keep blaming colonization & see ourselves as victims. Stop playing the victim card & let's do something about our own development. So refreshing to hear her speak truthfully.
I really like african people. They really deserve better leaders to be prosperous. God bless Africa.
“Tough times make tough men, tough men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make bad times.”
I forget where it’s from, but Africa’s a pretty good example.
It’s about the people in general, no morals.
Go live in Africa for a week you won't like it anymore
99% of the Africans I've met are pretty sharp, good guys... the Africans that suck are the Africans that adopt black American culture..
@matthewheald8964
Then get off your duff and look it up.
My father was a mining and geological engineer who spent years in Africa.
He told me that the continent has an unimaginable wealth of resources.
He said the people were wonderful, but the governments were corrupt.
A corrupt government is precluded by the existence of a corrupt people. To claim they can exist independent of each other is to claim that evil actions can exist without evil people.
I mean no disrespect, but rather to bring understanding. If you cannot determine the source of the corruption from below, you will never solve the symptoms from above.
@@bort6414 Thugs, bullies and like can subjugate a people into submission.
This what happens in so many countries, including Democrat dominates areas in the US.
@@Absaalookemensch What makes thugs and bullies possible? Those behaviors are learned, learned by never experiencing consequences for their actions.
Even in the most brutal feudalistic tyrannies, the people could rise up and cast the lords and slavers down.
Let's say an act of God suddenly smites all the corrupt leaders of Africa. What happens then, do good men suddenly take their place? Or is the vacuum of power filled by those cunning and brutal enough to ensure their position? It may not have been an act of God, but the CIA tried that for decades with the cartels. They killed their leaders, assassinated them repeatedly, and all that happened was that the cartels became even more cruel and brutal. Lead by men who would slit the throats of anyone and anything standing in the way of their power.
I'm not saying to not rise up and cast of evil where it takes hold. But it is imperative that we understand the origin of this evil and correct it, or else you will only end up replacing it with something far worse than before.
@@bort6414 What makes thugs and bullies possible?
The Left who defends their actions.
Unfortunately, when you leave a power vacuum, opportunistic thugs will take their place.
For evil to win, you only need good to be too busy in their lives to stand up to them.
Not the government is corrupt, it is the evil who run it!!
Magatte Wade makes a strong argument, solid points.
As a South African, I completely agree. Colonialism and Apartheif being the reason for our poor socio-economic situation is no excuse. Especially since other countries have also been colonised and oppressed and have grown despite their initial worser situation. An example of such countries is India, Singapore, etc. Our problems stem from poor leadership and management of the country and its people and resources, not to mention the scandals and crazy corruption from the ANC. government. Many previously oppressed groups have even acknowledged that certain aspects of society were better back in the post apartheid era such as the energy production and economic state. More people are suffering now from economic stuggles than post 1994 when South Africa was an oppressive state.
Asians learnt from their colonizers how to build a powerful and stable state
Africans on the other hand blamed their colonizers for their own mistakes
I'm from Kenya 🇰🇪 and I completely agree with her, although to add on that, the hugest problem we have, especially in my country, is corruption through out the entire government infrastructure. This keeps widening the gap between the rich and the poor, and majority of us are living below the poverty line, sad to say! 😢
We have this problem in South Africa. The corrupt government is creating a space that makes it very difficult to start and grow your own business, to live.
The electricity deficit problem was predicted years ago and leaders did nothing to rectify the matter or create sustainable solutions. We suffer the consequences of that incompetence the most as the common people while they stuff our taxes in their greedy pockets
What an impressive, knowledgeable and articulate speaker! Her passion is contagious. Truly the best of Africa.
One rule: less money and power the government has, the smaller space for corruption becomes.
Corruption is one of the main issues in my country of Romania (eastern Europe).
And what is corruption? The few have complete control of any system and country so nothing has changed. The system works like this, they lend money to a country, the corrupted put the money in their pockets, then deprive the people of their money through tax to pay x4 times the loan. Also control of resources, diamond, gold etc.
All done and orchestrated outside the country. If someone isn't corrupt, it's complete war against him. Now tell me you can better yourself and thrive and that this woman is not insane...
As a Black South African, 🇿🇦🇿🇦
What JP and this lady are saying is exactly what I've been saying for years but I have been attacked by many blacks and guilty whites.
South Africa has been free from white oppression for 30 years and our idiot politicians still use Apartheid as an excuse for their incompetance and corruption.
If South Africa really focused on economic reform, I believe our GDP would have been $1t or more (currently $350b).
The current government has done very little interms of improvement, in fact most of the infrastructure we are using today was built by our colonizers and Apartheid government. The current government can't even maintain the infrastructure and institutions that were built by the Apartheid government.
Every rational and sane person knows that Apartheid was evil and atrocious but to blame a system that's been dead for almost 30 years now is just fvkng stupid.
Our next elections are in 2024 and for the first time since 1994 we think the current ruling party (ANC) will be removed by a coalition between the main opposition party (DA) and other smaller parties.
God bless South Africa, the land of my birth 🇿🇦🇿🇦🙌🏿
Hopefully! Good bye ANC! Just be wary of those red hats and shirts chanting "kill the farmer, kill the Boer". They'll be even worse.
God bless
The president danced on television singing to murder the white man. Yeah, Africa.
They are doing it all over the world. There is big money in the programs they present that ate tax payer funded my friend. At the cost of embarrassment and division of the human race. It's evil.
Lol good luck changing the incorrigible people's minds; our incumbent right wing party here in India is blaming the Mughals from 600 years ago as the reason for their incompetence!
Its refreshing to see someone is not blaming others for their current situation.
What happened to Libya?
It's always uplifting to listen to genuinely intelligent commentary and analysis. Wonderful stuff....!
Great submission 👏🏾

Love how this lady is solution focussed rather than victimhood / past wrongs done to us focussed. This is what real empowerment looks like, THIS is what creates real change! The world needs more like her, now more than ever.
Let’s say we flip the scales and turn the tables. What now becomes the impending problem on our people? Get out of this pseudo-progressivist mindset and open your eyes.
why do you love that?
Africans are like that. It’s black people in the west who are convinced they’re victims.
Yeah dude. Corruption made strong by the colonisers. In the case when colonisation means not ruling over a state and becoming wealthy from that state, but instead the new form of white colonisation where the wealth of a place was stolen completely and taken to the other nation. Making the colony weaker. And corruption as a normal thing for the criminal as well as the victim.
I agree. She has an absolute winner's mindset.
Another challenge is learned helplessness, where people are unable to reasonably address their situations and seem to be awaiting for some kind of messiah to deliver them from their misery; social, political or economical. They seem to think that whining, complaining or sermonizing are adequate actions that can trigger change.
Something similar happens in central and south America. They believe they are poor underdeveloped countries because capitalist US and european colonization made it this way. But in fact the reason is a mix of rampant corruption, negative populism, disbelief in democracy and democratic institutions and marxism ideas and marxist guerrilla.
This was fantastic. No victimhood at all. This woman owned the mistakes the struggling countries in Africa are making and laid out actionable steps. I wish we got more of this in the general media.
lol..let's see your home get ravaged by thieves and see how well you do.
When you're left with scraps you fight for the scraps like these countries are doing, but don't worry for now, what's done in other countries will soon be at your doorstep, and then we will see who you actually point the finger at
I took one look at her and knew exactly what her politics were going to be. Boyo, was I wrong! Happy to say it, too.
Because she's a businessperson rather than a journalist who's never ran a biz, rather than advocating for the same socialism that gives government the power to be corrupt she understand it begins with empowering(not impeding really) the individuals who push society forward by taking economic risks.

@@TheDogGoesWoof69 yeah white people are blameless LOL
My father is from Africa, and he always told me that colonization was never the issue. It's so refreshing to hear other Africans are waking up to this and taking personal responsibility for the the direction their lives and nations. I just hope that one day black people in America can stop blaming all of our problems on white people, because that is easier than doing the work to improve our own lives.
It’s corrupt leaders that are the problem. Racism exist i America. It’s very real, so they are to blame for some problems but not all. I agree we should move forward though, and try to make things better for everyone.
You cannot say that like things aren’t systemic.
@@justme-ew3ri that's just an easy way of saying that black people are weak and not responsible for their own lives and decisions. The only systemic issue is people of color telling other people of color that white people are better and that we are at a disadvantage. We are not.
@@babloescobango5143 It’s not. Systemic racism is real lmaoo. And it’s not focusing on how white people have it better it focuses on why don’t we have this yet. You are saying that but you aren’t living anywhere where you actively feel death, and a sense of “how do people live here?” a loss of hope. You are making it sound like people just sit around and hate white people. People live every single day, but when it counts and matters they may not be able to get the job they want and are qualified for because their name, they might not “get off” on a ticket, etc. Say you want insurance well ok but you will pay more because of where you live. Do you live close to a highway that too, Medical books people are learning out of today being racist, Schools in neighborhoods being shut down with no alternative, Actively pricing people out of places because white people move in the area (gentrification), people being fired because of their hair, kids being told they can’t come to school with a certain hairstyle,black women dying giving at higher rates (3x), testing not being done on POC but white people first. Things add up. And most people don’t think about these things on a daily basis or have the luxury not to but don’t talk like it’s something pulled out of thin air. If you think people are “weak” and not “responsible for their own lives” then that’s you.
@@justme-ew3ri and its that same mentality, born from hate, listing statistics and making excuses for perpetuating the malice. It's the outright refusal to "be the better person" as it were. I'm a firm believer that we as a human race need to turn away from this divisive poison. I have faith that this is possible, but how can anyone expect life to truly get better if they are not willing to stop keeping score and just focus on what good people can do? Even in the face of all the injustices, who wins if we all just keep fighting about it and wishing it were fair, or easier? And you can say that's not realistic, or Google some more shit to fulfill your contrarian urges, but that won't help.
We need to talk about this more ❤
Zimbabwe, so much wealth during "colonial" rule with it being a strong food producer through farming. They got the freedom then had farms owned by whites destroyed so it would take years before the land would grow crops again.
An intelligent man asking questions of an intelligent woman and getting intelligent answers. How refreshing.
BULLSHIT. Please educate yourself. 14 African countries have to give half of the money in their central bank to France and ask for permission to use it.What about the Franc CFA and France's economic stronghold on 14 African countries? They have to ask France for permission to use their own money. please educate yourselves.
I’m a Kenyan. I’ll surely say when individuals stop being victims, they embrace responsibilities and build from that. That is the movement in Kenya. Try as much to do away with corrupt leaders, take charge of our policies, institutions and work. We can dwell on blame game or we can start and rebuild. Africa is a hub of resources. If only it took charge.
What's your opinion of Ruto & the future of corruption in Kenya?
@@jacqdanieles What we can do right now is just wait... The Supreme court will decide if he gets the seat or if we go back to election. All I hope is that we can protect our democracy and ensure that our leaders can become more accountable.

As a Kenyan, I 100% agree with her.
Bitter pill, hard to swallow in this 'victimhood blaming mentality culture' but facts.
I think, that some cultural changes have to be made to prosper. Like the (economic) rise in Europe came in early modern times, when the liberty right, the rise of the individual above the constraints of the society, family, religion, etc. Started. When I talk to Africans in Europe I always hear about the pressure they have, to fulfill the demands and wishes, their family has put in them. If you are determined by expectations, your familiy becomes more of a burden, than a support.
Say this to my fellow South Africans please
@@samuel_m84
Prosperity came in Europe when they began collectivizing an masse to massacre and steal the wealth and resources of and make slaves of other continents who were not as centrally organized. This is still true to this day.
And if African nations refuse to accept that the other nations of the world wish to exploit them for their own gain and that they must separate from them to build internally, the West, China, and others will continue to treat them however they chose and tale their resources.
Victimhood is def a problem. However, the idea that Africa standing up for intself won't ultimately mean war with outside nations that many African nations currently wish to remain chummy with and maybe even some dissenters within Africa, or that the very act of separating and acheiving prosperity and liberty for the continent won't inherently create enemies in places around the world would be naive.
Liberty means accepting all that comes with it and bwing prepared to lool the former and would-be future colonizers in the face as equals and being prepared to wage war with and decimate their forces if and when the need arises.
Simple fact, Africa, and all black/negro nations have a common enemy that meddles in and sabotages our affairs, politics, community, culture, etc. Not acknowledging that this enemy exists and cmpreparing to deal with it's advances is like sending people out into a field to plant a garden, but not telling them that the gardwn is teeming with venomous snakes, wolves, etc. If the those that prey on your people aren't with first, then they're not being sent to succeed.
As an Argentinian (once the richest country in the world, now less than a shadow of that), victimhood is overspread in public opinion: "you cannot prosper because there are countries that put efforts for that not to happen". They can never answer how they achieve that, of course.
And this "play the victim" idea it's so emphasized in education, general culture, media, etc., that it's very difficult to change some people's minds about it. Especially when some parties (like Peronism) revive this idea all the time.
Sadly, that works exceptionally good, because everyone sees the country is in constant crisis or deep problems, but they fill that hole with the idea of blaming an intangible enemy, who they are constantly fighting with, but ironically they never win to.
Singapore could not happen without the singular Lee Kuan Yew, and you're unlikely to get a man of that quality on the earth again in the next 100 years.

Well I guess I will be one of those people that always has a different point of view. The Africa situation is very complex and cannot really be compared to any other continent. Western countries did not just conquer us, take stuff and leave. In many Africa countries that are doing worst than expected, colonization is not completely gone, it’s still going in a different way. Most of the biggest companies are mostly owned by those people that came and colonized us. They played a lot of dirty politics, using Africans to better exploit other Africans. I am not saying that we are just victims, far from that, as Africans there a lot we can do. Also it’s quit funny when the lady gave the example of Dubai, but Dubai was not just a bare piece of land, they had black gold underneath and they were able to use that to build present day Dubai.
All this to simply say that yes there is a lot we can do as Africans instead of just playing victims, but on the other hand it’s not simple at all, colonization is still going to a certain extend.
Facts! She is talkin like the west does not still have grip on africa...come on its much more complex
What she is saying which you missed is that the west have stopped holding a leash behind y(our) back(s) as Africans to coerce you(s) to do things, you have your will, but they mislead you economically which is entirely a lack of awareness and vigilance on your end.
They are still africa necause you have refused to show them that they need you more than you need then. Colonialists are everywhere in the world, bt why is it in africa that they still have serious influence, whyyy???

About 15 years ago I had a very long conversation with a Maasai man who was a professor of economics at a university in Nairobi. He shocked me with the admission, invoking the movie Braveheart, by saying “The problem with Africa is that it’s full of Africans”. He was making the point that African culture of corruption and government theft is one of the primary reasons for economic failures in Africa.
How nice to see a sane educated person! Thank you for the interview, good luck and strength to this passionate lady!
My wife and her family are from Nigeria and I’ve been there. 100% of the population knows very well that their oppressive government is why their lives are the way they are. I’ve never heard one Nigerian blame anyone but the government. And it’s obvious that they’re right. Huge country rich with resources and people starving.
so every nigerian knows its the government, everyone blames the government and yet, there's no revolution? why don't people march down the streets wanting a new government?
So it's only the governments that are corrupt in Africa?

Talking alone is not going to solve African challenges,we need versatile leaders that will have a vision and stand up to bullies and thieves(France) at the same time,withstand any attempt to frustrate their country's interests
Am Kenyan and have been telling this to everyone wh cares to listen. The problem is victim mentality is so soothing because it relieves people of the responsibility for their actions. Colonisation in my country was abolished almost 60 years ago. 60 years of self rule is alot if you have an agenda, an economic ability and the fortitude to fall through.
Within the same time, Singapore, which had the same GDP as Kenya in the 70s took off like a rocket. In the same time the two are in different leagues.
Am not taking down what we have gained, but we could be better only if we let of of the pacifier that is 'colonisation put us here'. It is growing old fast.
Loving AfcFTA and what it represents. Watching keenly how the african countries respond to it.
Ironically, I could not help listening to the undertones of this talk and hearing them echo what UDA party has been preaching. The guest speaker even has their party colour on ( but I digress).
I am Kenyan and we mostly do not blame colonialism. We have continually and repeatedly blamed GRAND CORRUPTION.
@@mukuhi indeed. Caught that bottom up approach.
Even Lee Kuan Yew. Kagame's hero, understood this.
Indeed in Kenya we do have grand corruption that is the puncture in our wheels. However in intellectual conversations many still fall on the numbing effects of neo colonialization on our attempts to grow. We cannot ignore the feelers connecting to pre colonial industry that control most sectors of the economy. What am saying is we have enough time, resource and sovereignty to alter some of these to encourage this bottom up economy. Grand corruption is sucking at that teat hence dampening attempts to clean out the slate.
Kenya needs a Kagame who places. As Trump says, country first. Most of who we have had have been paying homage to status quo which leaves open back doors to economic control.
Look at the major industries and connect the dots to the LSE and NYSE.
It is commendable that the speakers are moderate in their views on the matter. When we (esp in Kenya) try to have a discourse on economic empowerment, we are bombarded by extreme suggestions. E.g as in the intellectual circles you mentioned, they dissect one symptom and really go on a tangent with it. Whereas the other extreme will avoid looking into past experiences and insist on all local problems being solved through local solutions.
In that melee the conversation is drowned and a politician steps in to create their own palatable narrative to win the populace over.
Economic power is the main incentive to gain political power in Kenya. We have to appreciate that the former colonies in the continent have varied characteristics. The Kenyan solution to economic empowerment would be to dwell at the confluence of the interests of those in govt and economic activities of the people.
I have made an observation on some of our economic activities. Neo-colonialism has continually fed us through media and schooling on the limited ways of advancing ourselves economically. We need to use our advantage of knowing local terrain, markets and practices in advancing economically.
Our demented politicians (democrats) in the US do the same thing to blacks in the US that African cultures in the worst economies do to their citizens.. its a cynical pandering for votes but it does psychological damage to those who believe it. Her approach can change everything if she can get the buy in needed.
True but some countries post colonosim had their presidents assisinated/coups so it not exactly the same. Leaders who had a better vision for the country replaced by colonisers puppets or those who favoured their agenda

And it's easy to sell idiots an ideological story about Development and Growth and that the problem is in their mentality... Countries that have made progress economically have not necessarily reduced poverty and inequality. And they achieved all this with strong intervention and protection from the state, not with complete liberalization of the market

I was born in Angola in 1963. I witnessed my parents' generation carving a new and modern country out of the jungle at the time. We later moved on to Mozambique, Rhodesia, Botswana, and South Africa. The common thread that led most of Africa to the quagmire of poverty it's currently under was Soviet and Maoist-funded communist revolution spreading hate and division, countries being handed to armed ignorant kleptocrats. Add to that nations created by Europeans that divided long-time tribal enemies and left them having to put up with each other in the same artificial spaces, and you get what you got, endless civil wars, which are in fact ancestral tribal wars. This lady is 100% correct, repression begets poverty, and freedom begets progress and prosperity. The formula is quite simple, just get greedy corrupt politicians out of the way. Botswana to me is the best basket case of prosperity for Africa, would still live there if I ever returned to Africa. Right now, Queensland will continue doing. as it has been for the last 16 years in spite of Labor.

Amazing conversation between 2 intellectuals. She knows her stuff. On point. Love to know her story. 3rd world nations should take note.
When I first went to a former colonised African country I was shocked. Compared to many African countries this was relatively wealthy but I was shocked by the level of corruption. The corruption was everywhere. Everyone had to be bribed in order to get anything done - from the moment we stepped off the plane, to the moment we left. To get anywhere or to get a job done it took hours longer than it should have done due to the haggling over the bribery and sometimes it was the only way to get things running. The corruption was everywhere, from the top to the bottom of their society. This created a chaotic disorganised country and I realised then that some countries are never going to get out of their poverty status until they get to grips with corruption.
Your's is a very interesting anecdote. I believe that in chaotic, unsuccessful places, we will always find corruption. The willingness to do the right thing, even when no one else is looking, is so special and valuable.
Corruption is the effect because the institutions is wrong. The problem is the government monopolies in the country. It started by colonialism and continue after independance. No cahnge in institution. Only a revolution can end poverty in africa

Ms. Wade's observations are refreshing to hear, and they are factually spot on.
Music to my ears
This lady is spot on. She refers to Lee Kwan Yew of Singapore - he studied Law at Cambridge University and it was the rigid application of English Common Law and the suppression of corruption that has in large part led to Singapore's success and is being replicated in the UAE which whilst having a Sharia base of law, enables English Common Law to be applied.
People are so naive. Africa has resources that make it a bigger target than little Singapore. She is done a good job covering for the colonizers like Bill Gates, who pretend to be helping. So gullible.
Lee Kwan Yew was deeply inspired by conservative politicians of India. He was a pen friend with many in India.
He had many letters exchanges with late Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Both of them mentioned in their biographies.
It was Atal Bihari Vajpayee who supported Lee Kwan Yew against aggressive attempts by Malaysia, Britain and China.

What rarely gets mentioned in any "why Africa is poor" discussion is how absolutely shitty its natural river network is. There's rarely any network to speak of, major rivers dry out all the time, there are frequent waterfalls, it just sucks.
Compare that with the vast waterways of Europe. Everything is connected, nicely shippable, and drying out is pretty much a myth.
Conveniently shippable rivers are invaluable for trade, commerce, and cultural exchange. For war and conquest too of course. For example the vikings once upon a time shipped southeast on European rivers, reached today's Kiev, founded the whole city and ultimately the whole Russian culture we know today. All because of some nice connected rivers - that Africa just doesn't have to that extent. And if not even the little streams and creeks ever run dry, like in central Europe? You can run your watermills all year and develop a prosperous manufacturing tradition.
It isn't a coincidence that the biggest and most powerful African empire of old is Egypt, located around the best and most useful river in all of Africa, the Nile.
What an amazing woman! Would love to hear her perspective on Malawi
