Not until one nation decides to come through and crush all the buildings. Right now there's too much tribalism.
If one nation decided to say "Hey, no more igbo, fulani, mande, etc., we're now all Africans under the United States of Africa".
That would kill the game RIGHT fukkING THEN.
Announce that aa's are automatically granted dual citizenship with the now Nation of Africa. Matter fact ALL of the diaspora have dual citizenship. On a chess board that would be checkmate!
All it takes is the creation of a new title for all black people, which will move in front of their current identity and religion.
That's checkmate and game over!!!

I agree with the AA part and birthright. However, I don't see those African tribes renouncing their tribal affiliation.
Nobody will do that.
Nobody will do that.
People don't get that Africa is more complex than the US or EU will ever realize. You can't apply the Western perspective to African life and expect to get good results. Even politics among West African countries are different from each other for this unification to happen.

Then African nations will forever be the worlds bytch...
Superpower- no
I could see a great strong 2nd tier country though. Get rid of the tribalism and corrupt leaders. I remember reading something like most western countries elect leaders with a law background while alot of 3rd world countries and countries in Africa always elect leaders with a military background. Maybe a change is in order or at least a middle ground should be explored. Years ago Liberia was supposed to be our Israel but that turned to sh*t.

I hope there is still time to fix Liberia. TBH, I spoke on that a year ago I think.Superpower- no

You make it sound as if it's easy.
This isn't a two way blacks vs. whites as it is in the US. It's a ton of other forces.
What matters most is catering to improving the lives of domestic citizens first, not just growing power.

It is easy.
As black people we are tired of being third class citizens everywhere and want some power. With power a improved lifestyle will come for all us.
If the strongest African nation currently did what I suggest THIS HOUR, it would have the United States of Africa as like the 3rd or 4th most powerful nation in the world in the next hour!
Other nations would drop a fukking TURD on themselves. Because now there would be no more extracting resources for cheap. Those Arabs would stop enslaving Africans or face the ENTIRE DIASPORA!
And that's just the fukking beginning...
It's 2017 not 1080 AD.
These countries coalescing into some giant blob of a country will destabilize the continent even more. It will need a very strong central government to keep it together, and that will just open up more avenues for corruption and ethic unrest. What a lot of African countries need is a system where they weaken their federal governments, and give more power to their regional governments. They need to add more anti-corruption measures and take out the fiefdoms that plague their countries.
I don't think the OP knows anything about African history or has taken time out to interact with Africans who have lived on the continent. His understanding of Africa is purely based on propaganda videos on YouTube and it's very telling. This guy also listed a country that only exist on the internet through propaganda and not in real life. 
I'd advise you to start from reading about African history. And since you're an Afram, African American academics wrote some of the most thoroughly researched books about Africa and that's a good way to start. Get books like: The Destruction of Black Civilization (Chancellor Williams lived in Africa for over two decades for scholarship on this Black Bible), and How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney. After that, you can start reading about the different ethnic groups, their past/present, and what went wrong.
The average African isn't thinking about 'super power', that's an European concept for imperialism. The average African just want a good life with the best things life has to offer, without troubling anyone. If Africans had cared about being super powers, at the height of African civilization/glory - we would've done what Europeans did to us.
That said - apart from South Africa, only 4 or 5 African countries are doing marginally alright in Sub-Saharan Africa (Seychelles, Tanzania, Angola, Rwanda, and maybe Equatorial Guinea or Botswana). And none of these countries are regional powers in their respective regions in Africa. So, the chances of any of them ever even being a super power is next to zero. And Nigeria which is Africa's biggest country (in terms of population) is a fugazi nation that works only as a name, not in reality. Nigeria has far better chances of disintegration than ever being a decent country. Expecting it to be a super power is a pipe dream.
