jg, Africa is a mess it is because of Colonialism. The Europeans used religion to justify the oppression and the result is the mess we have today.
The typical administration of a colony was this:
1) use religion to invade;
2) grant concessions to your buddies the industrialists;
3) exploit the natural riches and the people for labor;
4) export the goods back home for processing;
5) sell the finished product in the home market as well as the colonies.
It’s still going on today in different forms. I’ve spend some time in different countries and I know this to be true. Despite the corruption, Africans are much better-off today that under servitude during colonial times.
jg, your delusions are very much out of this world.
