[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [qb] Elimu, You are missing the implicit point of the thread. Why has no African nation to date been able to create the structures necessary for independence in technological achievement. Even maverick North Korea is showing some organizational structure. Why is South Korea(50 million population and GDP of $2 Trillion on a land space the size of Liberia[4 million population]) at the cutting edge of world technology(Android phones, Ship and airplane manufacture, high def. TV, automobile manufacture)doing much better than Nigeria(population 180 million, GDP $300 billion)and totally reliant on petroleum for sustenance? Note that Korea and Taiwan were colonized by Japan and even today Koreans born in Japan are eternally Korean--even with name changes. [/qb][/QUOTE]Keep in mind that European nations are massive borrowers from Asiatics- without which their modernization would not have happened- things like, guns, gunpowder, compass, printing and a host of other things. And not only the material aide- even the most influential religion today deemed "EUropean" is not at all something that developed in EUrope, but in the sub-tropical and tropical "Middle East." On top of that is the knowledge borrowed or adapted from the Islamic world. Further back African nations were leaders in technology- the Egyptians for example were the first to pioneer writing systems, and share a part in creation of the modern alphabets that Europeans and others use. Also keep in mind that Asian nations such as Japan and South Korea are RELATIVELY recent developments. As late as the 1950s for example South Korea lagged behind Ghana as far as GNP or GDP. The Japanese are leaders today, but were unimpressive until the early 1900s- when they borrowed heavily from EUrope for modernization. As late as the 1830, CHina's economic output was the highest in the world. India's output at one time surpassed Britain, and so on. History reshuffles rankings time and time again. [b] You mention Africans working for NASA. For whose benefit? Why is someone like Kunle Olukotun spending his whole active life abroad in an American university. Is it money? Or Adebisi Agboola and others? [/b] Why should not Africans work for NASA? They can leverage that to help foster skill, expertise and tech/knowledge transfer to Africa. What? Africans only "supposed" to work for Africans? What would happen to the NBA or NFL if a "black only" rule were followed? [/QB][/QUOTE]
