Honestly, our issue is not numbers, but strategy. Let’s be real we have not figured this sht out yet and that is why we are where we are as a people. More people ain’t going to solve our problem. Just look at India.
I’d be more happy with black people gaining a functional minority, than being a dysfunctional majority. Somthing similar to what the Dutch empire did in the 1500s and 1600s, despite being a minority among Europeans and a super-minority globally.
As an aside @JadeB , I honestly think your countrymen might be the solution. I’ve been peeping y’all’s distribution in JP, South China, Korea, Philippines, Southern and Western Europe and it seems very promising. I see a lot of commerce and industry ranging from your lock on entertainment in K and JP, to your presence in shipping in China, to the educated base in Europe. The only issue is that these Nigerian networks seem oddly disconnected, unlike the Dutch ones. Any thoughts?![]()
Yeah...I mean we'll have an advantage over the coming decades with our large, young populace...but our main weakness has been geopolitical strategy like you said. It's what has done in all of our Empires(From Egypt to the Axumites to Songhai and so on)
Maybe the stressors that will alter Africa over the coming decades(effects of climate change/high pop. density) will create a new kind of African leader.
