Has Africa been using wrong systems for betterment or as Africans we have failed to understand world systems?

  • 8

Africa as a whole borrowed the wrong things from the West even the wrong components of capitalism. We borrowed the profit motive but not the entrepreneurial spirit. We borrowed the acquisitive appetites of capitalism but not the creative risk taking. We are at home with Western gadgets but are bewildered by Western workshops. We wear the wristwatch but refuse to watch it for the culture of punctuality. We have learnt to parade in display, but not to drill in discipline. The West’s consumption patterns have arrived, but not necessarily the West’s techniques of production

    @Yago There is nothing with the system… Corruption is the only problem.

    We may not have the best systems but what is there, kind of works. The biggest problem is corruption. Once we solve that, the rest will fall in line.

    We have not been using the wrong system neither have we failed to adopt or understand world systems. We are still standing on the foundation of colonisation which is too weak to handle Africa’s potential. That is why projects keep crumbling down across the continent.
