  1. 0:00Welcome back, Troy. I've got another one
  2. 0:01here from Frank Zanu, and this one's
  3. 0:04titled, "No black country will ever
  4. 0:06develop."
  5. 0:07>> Let me ask you, the 63 black countries
  6. 0:10in the world. Do you know any black
  7. 0:11country where the people who live in it
  8. 0:13founded it?
  9. 0:15By founding, I mean a group of people
  10. 0:18like the Euroba Kingdom moving around
  11. 0:20and came upon a land that is fertile,
  12. 0:22has what they want, and they settled
  13. 0:23there. Even if they have to kill the
  14. 0:25indigenous and steal their women, they
  15. 0:27did, and they made it into a republic.
  16. 0:29Is there such a thing on earth? A place,
  17. 0:32a country where the blacks who live in
  18. 0:33it were the ones who founded it.
  19. 0:37The Caribbean, the 13 black countries,
  20. 0:39Africa has 54 of them.
  21. 0:41>> Put together the largest race on earth
  22. 0:43by a number of countries. Which black
  23. 0:45country do you know where the people who
  24. 0:47live in it founded it?
  25. 0:51>> I just know one that was
  26. 0:52>> Who founded Ghana?
  27. 0:53>> Which Ghanaian founded Ghana?
  28. 0:56>> Kroma.
  29. 0:57>> No.
  30. 0:57>> No. British founded Ghana and gave it to
  31. 1:00him when he was complaining too much he
  32. 1:01needs independence.
  33. 1:02>> But that was that was
  34. 1:03>> who founded Nigeria which
  35. 1:05>> I actually do not know.
  36. 1:06>> That's correct because no Nigerian
  37. 1:08founded Nigeria. The Benin Kingdom
  38. 1:10founded Benin Kingdom. Oduda founded the
  39. 1:12Euroba.
  40. 1:14>> You understand what I'm saying?
  41. 1:16>> But I'm talking about Nigeria.
  42. 1:18>> But I see what you're saying. Okay. What
  43. 1:21about um like Ethiopia?
  44. 1:24>> A country that was never colonized.
  45. 1:27Shiron was never colonized.
  46. 1:29>> Siron,
  47. 1:29>> yes. They just pull back slaves there.
  48. 1:33So what? It doesn't mean anything.
  49. 1:34Still, their country was carved by the
  50. 1:36Europeans.
  51. 1:40So how do you expect that
  52. 1:42[clears throat] a people
  53. 1:45can build something they did not design?
  54. 1:50>> I'm trying to lead you slowly. your
  55. 1:52conclusion, not mine, but all the people
  56. 1:54who are going to listen because you guys
  57. 1:56are going to become members of
  58. 1:57parliament in the future. You are going
  59. 1:59to be the leaders of this continent. If
  60. 2:01you want to go back, you need to have
  61. 2:02something in your mind to say this is
  62. 2:04what is wrong and I want to change it.
  63. 2:05Otherwise, we are all going to be
  64. 2:07swimming in the dark for the rest of our
  65. 2:08lives. No black country on earth will
  66. 2:11become industrialized. Impossible. You
  67. 2:13said resources. People keep complaining
  68. 2:16and telling you that the reason African
  69. 2:18countries can't develop is because the
  70. 2:20white people stole the resources. It's a
  71. 2:22lie. There are four resources nobody can
  72. 2:25steal. Water is one of them. Did you see
  73. 2:28tanks from Britain taking all your water
  74. 2:30away? No. Fellas sang a song in 1981.
  75. 2:34Water houses food house. Hey them,
  76. 2:38right?
  77. 2:39>> 1981. Do you know how many years ago he
  78. 2:41was complaining about there is water
  79. 2:43overground? The Niger River goes through
  80. 2:45Nigeria. No Nigerian can get a cup of
  81. 2:48water, pure one, from his pipe in his
  82. 2:49own room. You have tanks on every
  83. 2:51building. That's one. They didn't take
  84. 2:53it away. The second one is land. The
  85. 2:56colonials didn't take it away. You have
  86. 2:57vegetative land in Nigeria. If Japan own
  87. 3:00it, they will feed half of the world
  88. 3:01with food export.
  89. 3:04[laughter]
  90. 3:04>> The third one, solar energy. 365 days.
  91. 3:07We don't get winter, we don't get
  92. 3:08spring, we don't get autumn. Is there?
  93. 3:10Have you harvested it? you go build a
  94. 3:12electric car when you can't even give
  95. 3:14people electricity in their homes in
  96. 3:16Bakina Faso what are you going to use to
  97. 3:18charge
  98. 3:20you understand so solar that's the third
  99. 3:21one so the fourth one is of course uh
  100. 3:26manpower resources okay from the
  101. 3:28intellect into physical they didn't take
  102. 3:30it away so all four things that help
  103. 3:33other countries to build themselves you
  104. 3:34have it you have it more than anybody
  105. 3:36the Congo alone the Congo has water
  106. 3:39reserve enough to feed the whole of
  107. 3:41central Africa for the next 250 years
  108. 3:44and not even have a drop.
  109. 3:46>> Kids in Congo can't even take a clean
  110. 3:47shower because of lack of water. Troana
  111. 3:50is the northern part of Kenya. It has.
  112. 3:52It took some foreign guys from Denmark
  113. 3:54to tap into the aquifier to know that
  114. 3:57Troana has over 200 trillions I don't
  115. 4:01know even the number how they measure
  116. 4:02water liters
  117. 4:04in Kenya. But the people of Truana every
  118. 4:07year their cles and humans will die. You
  119. 4:11can see it. And we will be sending them
  120. 4:13in Pesa and foreigners will rush there
  121. 4:16to save. They can't tap the water to
  122. 4:18feed themselves.
  123. 4:18>> So what do you think the internal issue
  124. 4:20is?
  125. 4:21>> Are you asking us to come to that
  126. 4:23conclusion?
  127. 4:24>> You are the one who said I'm crazy by
  128. 4:25saying you can't develop. Now we have
  129. 4:27seen clearly that nothing has been taken
  130. 4:28away. You have everything.
  131. 4:32So when we are not blaming the colonials
  132. 4:34for stealing resources, which is a
  133. 4:36boogeyman we use just to explain as if
  134. 4:38we are the only ones who are colonized.
  135. 4:40If stealing
  136. 4:41>> That's such a good point.
  137. 4:43>> That's [clears throat] such a good point
  138. 4:45that it's used as a scapegoat, the
  139. 4:46boogeyman that you were colonized,
  140. 4:48therefore you haven't developed because
  141. 4:50the colonial powers are meddling and
  142. 4:52have broken you beyond belief somehow.
  143. 4:55Yet nobody talks about like China was
  144. 4:57taken over by Europeans. part of Europe
  145. 5:00was taken over by the Ottoman.
  146. 5:02Um, Genghaskhan and the Golden Horde
  147. 5:05just rolled over Moscow all the way into
  148. 5:07as as far as Budapest. Everybody was
  149. 5:10subservient to somebody at one point.
  150. 5:13Hell, the Europeans, they've enslaved
  151. 5:15each other, too. Rome, practically the
  152. 5:17empire, colonized the savages of the
  153. 5:19north and romanized them. So, and then
  154. 5:23of course Persia, all the other empires
  155. 5:26of North Africa, all that stuff. Latin
  156. 5:29America is a good example of an entire
  157. 5:31continent that was colonialized and it
  158. 5:34is now industrialized.
  159. 5:37It's not on the level of Africa. So, why
  160. 5:41is it, and that's a good question to
  161. 5:43ask, why is it that Africa isn't
  162. 5:46developed? Look at China, massively
  163. 5:49developed. Look at the other
  164. 5:50souththeaster eastern countries
  165. 5:52massively developed everywhere you look
  166. 5:55central Asia the steps they have
  167. 5:57developed you know where why is it that
  168. 6:00only in one part what is the common
  169. 6:03factor so and why is it that way
  170. 6:08you can't just say it's colonialism
  171. 6:10because everybody else got colonized
  172. 6:11you're not the only one now that that
  173. 6:13argument might work if somehow you were
  174. 6:15the only one in the history of humanity
  175. 6:18that got colonized
  176. 6:19Was it slavery? Well, everybody was
  177. 6:21enslaved at one point. Quite literally.
  178. 6:23Romans had slaves. The Greeks had
  179. 6:25slaves. The Middle Eastern empires all
  180. 6:27had slaves. They have slaves currently
  181. 6:30in North Africa. By the way, Europeans
  182. 6:32were enslaved. The word slave comes from
  183. 6:34Slavs, as in Slavic people that were
  184. 6:38known to be slaves in Middle Eastern
  185. 6:40empires.
  186. 6:42Massive slave trades going on. Everybody
  187. 6:44enslaved everybody in antiquity. It's
  188. 6:46nothing new. So, it can't be slavery
  189. 6:50because we were all descended from
  190. 6:51probably a slave at one point. Somebody
  191. 6:53got enslaved somewhere. And then it
  192. 6:56can't be colonialism because it happened
  193. 6:58all over the world. And so what what is
  194. 7:01left? What could it possibly
  195. 7:05Africa is the most bountiful, the
  196. 7:08richest, the has the most resources of
  197. 7:11any continent. Quite literally, you
  198. 7:13could look at any African country and
  199. 7:15go, "Wow, the amount of resources Africa
  200. 7:19has would make any other nation
  201. 7:20jealous." So what is it then? Strange.
  202. 7:24Yeah.
  203. 7:25>> Is the reason for colonization. Ben will
  204. 7:27not be colonized. We have nothing but
  205. 7:29coconut trees on the beach. Gambia
  206. 7:31wouldn't be colonized. The island
  207. 7:33wouldn't be colonized. Many places
  208. 7:35Gambia won't be colonized. It's not for
  209. 7:38stealing resources. It's too expensive
  210. 7:39and it's too cumbersome. Colonial they
  211. 7:42don't steal resources and they didn't.
  212. 7:44>> Everything you discovered now was
  213. 7:46discovered after colonization
  214. 7:48but we use it as a boogeyman. And when
  215. 7:50we not talking about resources, the
  216. 7:52countries don't have resources. They
  217. 7:54say, "Oh,
  218. 7:56it's our leaders. They are corrupt."
  219. 7:58It's not true.
  220. 8:00>> Corruption.
  221. 8:00>> Those leaders you have that you keep
  222. 8:02saying,
  223. 8:03>> where did you employ them from? China.
  224. 8:06[snorts]
  225. 8:06>> They are from among you, right? So every
  226. 8:09four years randomly you pick one of you
  227. 8:12but you expect that person to know
  228. 8:15different from what you know. Not
  229. 8:17different but they should be willing to
  230. 8:21>> willing. What do you mean willing?
  231. 8:22Willing happens if you know what you do.
  232. 8:27I feel like they should like like
  233. 8:30picking like presidency especially like
  234. 8:32in Nigeria like they should see the
  235. 8:34things that us like you know people
  236. 8:36struggle with in society. So we expect
  237. 8:39them to like okay like this is what
  238. 8:41we're struggling with. This is what
  239. 8:43>> that is your fault. How do you know that
  240. 8:45he has what it takes to fix it?
  241. 8:47>> No, I'm not saying that he has what it
  242. 8:48takes. I'm saying that like people
  243. 8:50expect like I think like in Nigeria cuz
  244. 8:53like people like are trying to vote for
  245. 8:55like presidency and things like that and
  246. 8:57we all expect for the president to like
  247. 8:59see what is going on in the society and
  248. 9:01say okay like we hope for you to like
  249. 9:03make this change and like you know
  250. 9:04they'll put like their stuff out there
  251. 9:06>> you know when you hear like being said
  252. 9:08like so many like times it makes you
  253. 9:10like tune out completely like I can't do
  254. 9:13I I can't deal with it
  255. 9:16>> saying oh I will address this I will
  256. 9:18address is and then when they see it's
  257. 9:20like the exact opposite of like
  258. 9:22>> Yes. Because you corrupted them.
  259. 9:25>> Who corrupted them?
  260. 9:26>> The masses.
  261. 9:28>> No African leader is corrupt.
  262. 9:31That just makes You're going to have to
  263. 9:33elaborate on that.
  264. 9:33>> We are corrupted.
  265. 9:36>> So how we corrupt like people corrupted
  266. 9:38the like what like what do you mean by
  267. 9:40corrupted like like who? When computers
  268. 9:43started, right, when we had computers in
  269. 9:45high towers, you know that computer has
  270. 9:48a program in it and so you have to only
  271. 9:50introduce what it can use the program to
  272. 9:52understand, right?
  273. 9:53>> So when people use malware to introduce
  274. 9:55your hard drive, what do you say
  275. 9:56happened to your wide drive? My hard
  276. 9:58drive is corrupted.
  277. 9:59>> Which means you you you gave it
  278. 10:01something to do that is not part of what
  279. 10:03he knows how to do.
  280. 10:06Colonians left behind a political system
  281. 10:08and you hang on to it and then you're
  282. 10:10picking one of you to use it to do
  283. 10:13something.
  284. 10:14You said that's what you wanted. You
  285. 10:16said every four years you want to go out
  286. 10:18there and pick one of you to lead you.
  287. 10:20So somebody said, "Okay, pick me. Look
  288. 10:21at my suit. He's nice and I speak your
  289. 10:23language." And you picked him. You've
  290. 10:26introduced a tax to this man or woman
  291. 10:30who you don't know if he knows he
  292. 10:32doesn't own a country. We just proven to
  293. 10:34you there is no country but you're
  294. 10:36asking him to leave something that is
  295. 10:37not there. If you give your Lamborghini
  296. 10:40to your sevenyear-old, you've corrupted
  297. 10:42his skills. He runs into people or he
  298. 10:44runs into a tree. The people you've been
  299. 10:47thinking since independence don't know
  300. 10:49how to do what you're asking them to do.
  301. 10:51So you corrupt their skills.
  302. 10:54>> So we've like you saying us Nigerians
  303. 10:56have corrupted like the president or
  304. 10:59something like that?
  305. 11:00>> Yes, that's happened. You are just you
  306. 11:02are just a corrupt in waiting. They make
  307. 11:04any of you MP right now, you'll be
  308. 11:05corrupt because what they asking you to
  309. 11:08work on is not natural to you. It's
  310. 11:11foreign
  311. 11:14>> the villages were
  312. 11:15>> so he's talking about dismantling the
  313. 11:17postc colonial system basically
  314. 11:19governance their governance the way
  315. 11:22their cities are set up states are set
  316. 11:24up the nation the nation state is a
  317. 11:27European
  318. 11:29invention
  319. 11:30the way Europe started its nation state
  320. 11:33building was I guess from the African
  321. 11:36perspective were tribes you can call
  322. 11:38them or kingdoms middle kingdoms
  323. 11:40whatever each had their own king and
  324. 11:42bannermanmen and all that stuff and they
  325. 11:44married into and combined forces and
  326. 11:47then eventually you know that
  327. 11:49combination um ended up forming what you
  328. 11:52call the state France Spain the kingdom
  329. 11:56of France the kingdom of Spain the
  330. 11:59United Kingdom it's in the name United
  331. 12:03Kingdom right you have a whole bunch of
  332. 12:06little tribes that were living amongst
  333. 12:09each other and they were all combined
  334. 12:12into one nation state due to threats
  335. 12:15from the outside due to you know
  336. 12:18intertribal competition you could say
  337. 12:20for resources for power for influence
  338. 12:23for whatever it was right trade stuff
  339. 12:25like that so throughout history Europe
  340. 12:28actually went through an evolution of
  341. 12:30forming a state Africa never went
  342. 12:32through the evolution of forming a state
  343. 12:34it stayed with the tribes at the tribal
  344. 12:37level had a few kingdoms of larger
  345. 12:40tribes but never forced or I should say
  346. 12:43never created the complex systems that
  347. 12:45were required of Europe. H that makes a
  348. 12:48lot of sense actually. So in a way
  349. 12:50Africans won't ever be able to govern
  350. 12:52themselves in the European style. So the
  351. 12:56only way because you you imagine like he
  352. 12:58was saying and [snorts] also it's very
  353. 13:00sim um it's well known that in like uh
  354. 13:02any African country there's like a
  355. 13:04million languages spoken in each country
  356. 13:07from so many tri like these countries
  357. 13:09are absolutely massive people have no
  358. 13:10idea the size of like one African
  359. 13:12country it is gargantuan they're huge
  360. 13:15absolutely massive when you look at the
  361. 13:17square miles of something like Nigeria
  362. 13:20and you overlay it over the size of
  363. 13:22Europe stupendous size of these
  364. 13:24countries
  365. 13:25And you can imagine if that were in
  366. 13:28Europe, you have like 20 different
  367. 13:30countries in there. Well, in Europe, all
  368. 13:33these countries have went to war with
  369. 13:34one another at one point in time in
  370. 13:36history. These people have killed each
  371. 13:38other, have rallied together, a couple
  372. 13:41of small ones to fight one big one,
  373. 13:44married their royalty off, and became
  374. 13:47allies and then formed states because
  375. 13:49they had to to fight off other bigger
  376. 13:52ones or empires. So it's like that
  377. 13:55natural evolution that formed the nation
  378. 13:57state in Europe that never happened to
  379. 13:59such an extent in Africa. So now
  380. 14:01Africans are left with yeah let's just
  381. 14:03say postc colonialism the lines drawn on
  382. 14:05a map by Europeans and instead of
  383. 14:08disintegrating along tribal lines and
  384. 14:11allowing that natural evolution to take
  385. 14:13place of human society in essence like
  386. 14:17go to war. As crazy as that sounds it's
  387. 14:19like well they all need to go to war.
  388. 14:21you kind of need to to create a nation
  389. 14:23state. Like the strong must take over
  390. 14:26the weak. Then you coagulate into
  391. 14:29something larger and then you form a
  392. 14:30natural larger kingdom. And then that
  393. 14:33kingdom may marry and ally with some
  394. 14:35other kingdom. And then that begins the
  395. 14:37coagulative force naturally to
  396. 14:41essentially create your first nation
  397. 14:43state with uh you know its own identity
  398. 14:47that was founded by the people
  399. 14:50with its own history, stories, culture,
  400. 14:54all that stuff. It's very interesting to
  401. 14:56think about it from that perspective. So
  402. 14:58in essence if we go back Africa hasn't
  403. 15:01developed yet because it wasn't allowed
  404. 15:03the natural process
  405. 15:06maybe you could say in this specific
  406. 15:08sense because again when we compare to
  407. 15:09Latin America it just it's not a
  408. 15:11onetoone crossover because Latin America
  409. 15:12didn't have to go through this they had
  410. 15:15you know the Incas Aztecs Mayas but the
  411. 15:18countries that were formed there um
  412. 15:20essentially
  413. 15:22all speak Spanish for the most part
  414. 15:24except obviously Brazil which is
  415. 15:25Portuguese but all administered mostly
  416. 15:27by the upper class which are remnants of
  417. 15:30Europeans and then it created the
  418. 15:32societies that are there still their
  419. 15:34upper class are Europeans in general
  420. 15:36lighter skin if you look at Latin
  421. 15:37America and those in the administrative
  422. 15:40sectors in society are usually
  423. 15:43Europeans. So Europeans sort of still
  424. 15:45run society. They still they call
  425. 15:46themselves Latin American, all this
  426. 15:48stuff, but they have more European
  427. 15:50blood, right? So that system is still
  428. 15:52run by leftover Europeans, you could
  429. 15:55say. And then in Africa, it's full
  430. 15:57African.
  431. 15:59And so because that system didn't carry
  432. 16:02over, they didn't have the
  433. 16:04administrators remain. They all left.
  434. 16:07Now they have to essentially manage a
  435. 16:09system that they never created or built.
  436. 16:12And how can you possibly do that when
  437. 16:14you don't understand why it functions,
  438. 16:15how it should function, the way it
  439. 16:17should function
  440. 16:19and you have 50 different languages in
  441. 16:21one country where all the people think
  442. 16:23they're different and don't want to be
  443. 16:25ruled by the next tribe over. It makes
  444. 16:27it almost impossible to remain as a
  445. 16:29country, which is why you had South
  446. 16:30Sudan separate from Sudan, which is why
  447. 16:32you have so much ethnic conflict in
  448. 16:34Africa. You're forcing a bunch of tribes
  449. 16:36to live under one banner, which they
  450. 16:38don't claim. And the natural evolution
  451. 16:43for Africa is widespread war until it
  452. 16:46all gets settled and the strongest
  453. 16:49survive and form nation states and
  454. 16:51alliances and then that is how you reach
  455. 16:54peace. Ironically, it's like speedr
  456. 16:57runninging Europe's history to form the
  457. 16:59nation state. You how do you do this
  458. 17:01without war and bloodshed? I don't know.
  459. 17:04That's interesting because Europe would
  460. 17:05have never made it to where it did
  461. 17:06without the war and the bloodshed to
  462. 17:09draw hard lines on a map of my land,
  463. 17:11your land. Stay out of my [ __ ] I'll
  464. 17:13stay out of your [ __ ] And it took a
  465. 17:15bunch of people dying for that to
  466. 17:17happen. So now imagine trying to do that
  467. 17:20with the hundreds of lang thousands of
  468. 17:21languages in Africa. And it's like,
  469. 17:23well, who wins? Well, it's like but we
  470. 17:26kind of don't want them to go through
  471. 17:27that hell on earth, bro. It's hell on
  472. 17:29earth already for a bunch of people in
  473. 17:31Africa. If you want these people to lead
  474. 17:33themselves into a better future, maybe
  475. 17:37there are dark times ahead. I'm not
  476. 17:39sure. It's an interesting thought
  477. 17:41experiment though.
  478. 17:42>> You come from do you use ballot to pick
  479. 17:43the chief? They know you from age 12 by
  480. 17:48who you are, what you can do. And that's
  481. 17:50how we picked our leaders in Africa for
  482. 17:52hundreds of years.
  483. 17:54>> Okay. So are you saying that if we
  484. 17:56implemented like a system like so in
  485. 17:58Ghana in in my culture the way like
  486. 18:01picking a chief works is there are five
  487. 18:03royal families and then it rotates each
  488. 18:05family every time.
  489. 18:07>> Mhm.
  490. 18:07>> Are you saying that if that happened
  491. 18:09with like our government?
  492. 18:11>> How can it happen with your government?
  493. 18:12You don't have Ghana.
  494. 18:14>> You don't have a country called Ghana or
  495. 18:16Ghanaians.
  496. 18:17>> So whom are you picking?
  497. 18:20>> That that just makes no sense. So is the
  498. 18:23political system the issue? Like
  499. 18:25>> I don't know. I'm giving you things for
  500. 18:27you to make your own conclusion.
  501. 18:28>> There's no Ghana.
  502. 18:29>> There's no Ghana. There's no Nigeria.
  503. 18:31Who's a Nigerian? You are a Nigerian
  504. 18:33only when you leave the country and you
  505. 18:35are abroad. You said I'm from Nigeria.
  506. 18:37But when you ask a Chinese, they don't
  507. 18:39say I'm from China. They say I'm
  508. 18:41Chinese. Japanese will say I'm Japanese.
  509. 18:43Ask Africans, they always say I'm from.
  510. 18:46It means you're talking about a physical
  511. 18:47location that was created by some
  512. 18:49foreigner and a bunch of you who have
  513. 18:51nothing in common lives there.
  514. 18:52>> Okay.
  515. 18:53>> But in Nigeria there's no nobody says
  516. 18:55I'm Nigerian. You say I'm Ebo.
  517. 18:58>> I'm Euroba.
  518. 18:59>> The Waspi unity that you are that you
  519. 19:02referred to earlier. Pardon me.
  520. 19:03>> Just because we don't have the wasp like
  521. 19:05>> Of course you don't have it.
  522. 19:06>> Yeah. So we're not like we're just not
  523. 19:09Ghanian. We're just like you're a G.
  524. 19:12>> That's correct. Do you know? And it's a
  525. 19:14metaphor. I love it. I read it. Do you
  526. 19:16know the Tower of Babel
  527. 19:18>> in the Bible?
  528. 19:21>> What was the main thing that stopped the
  529. 19:23tower from being built?
  530. 19:27>> Yeah. I don't even remember.
  531. 19:28>> Jesus.
  532. 19:30>> Do you know the [laughter] tower? Yes. I
  533. 19:32No, like I know the story.
  534. 19:34>> Tell the story.
  535. 19:35>> I just know like a group of um
  536. 19:37>> people were building the Tower of Babel
  537. 19:40and then they kept on going. as they're
  538. 19:42building it, I believe like they came
  539. 19:44across like
  540. 19:47I forgot they came across like a fire or
  541. 19:50something like that and like I think a
  542. 19:51fire like stopped on one of them each
  543. 19:53and one of them and they started
  544. 19:55speaking different languages.
  545. 19:56>> So a group of people with one language,
  546. 19:59one culture was building a tower
  547. 20:01successfully for some sick reason got
  548. 20:04looked down and changed their languages
  549. 20:06and they started speaking different
  550. 20:07languages and the tower stopped.
  551. 20:11So that's what the that's what they did
  552. 20:14to us or we did that to ourselves.
  553. 20:15>> I don't know. I'm just describing
  554. 20:17things. You have to make the
  555. 20:18conclusions. What does a tower
  556. 20:19represent?
  557. 20:21>> Development.
  558. 20:22>> That's correct. Every time they say
  559. 20:25something is develop, you you you know
  560. 20:27you you you do this, right? So it's a
  561. 20:29metaphor. A tower represent development,
  562. 20:31growth. But it's only possible. I said
  563. 20:34it to you from the beginning. You got to
  564. 20:36have language
  565. 20:38one. Do you know how America struggle to
  566. 20:40make sure Spanish is not even a second
  567. 20:41language here because they know what it
  568. 20:43can cause? You don't have that. You
  569. 20:46don't have a national culture. You don't
  570. 20:49have a national history. You don't have
  571. 20:50a national identity.
  572. 20:53So where is patriotism and nationalism?
  573. 20:57>> Mhm. you're making it seem well I'm
  574. 21:00understanding it in the way that you're
  575. 21:01explaining it that it's not exactly a
  576. 21:04bad thing but like it's it's the
  577. 21:06division in the countries is what the
  578. 21:08problem is why we can't develop but
  579. 21:11that's what makes
  580. 21:13>> I think that's what makes um our African
  581. 21:17pride like having having so much
  582. 21:20>> diversity but like in that one place
  583. 21:22even though that doesn't make us
  584. 21:25>> that's exactly what's weakening you
  585. 21:27listen I traveled through Eastern Europe
  586. 21:28and I lived in Romania for a couple
  587. 21:30years after of of course lived in
  588. 21:33America most of my life and came back
  589. 21:35here temporarily to retire my parents in
  590. 21:37Bucharest. I'm now in Croatia and I can
  591. 21:40tell you right now living in Eastern
  592. 21:41Europe to see what a super majority of
  593. 21:44your own people is like. I talk about
  594. 21:47this all the time. The brotherhood, the
  595. 21:49patriotism, the nationalism. When you're
  596. 21:51looking at a person across the street,
  597. 21:54no matter who it is, if they look like
  598. 21:57you, they speak the same language as
  599. 21:59you, they're from the same place you
  600. 22:01are, they have the same shared history,
  601. 22:03their family fought and bled for and
  602. 22:06died for this exact country. We all
  603. 22:08share the exact same thing. We have the
  604. 22:11same exact experience. We like the same
  605. 22:13exact food. We have the same exact
  606. 22:15religion. I can't describe just how
  607. 22:18unifying
  608. 22:20and incredible it feels to be in a
  609. 22:22supermajority of your own people.
  610. 22:27This is what Western Europe's losing.
  611. 22:28This is what America is losing. That is
  612. 22:30why mass immigration and
  613. 22:31multiculturalism is destroying the West.
  614. 22:33They have lost the supermajority. They
  615. 22:35have lost the unified identity that made
  616. 22:39the countries into what they were that
  617. 22:41everybody else wanted to come and be a
  618. 22:43part of. Africa is currently dealing
  619. 22:45with that same exact issue, but on like
  620. 22:48a native level, you had people in, let's
  621. 22:50say, Nigeria, 70 different languages.
  622. 22:52We're just using a random number.
  623. 22:54There's probably more. So, you have 70
  624. 22:56different types of people that are
  625. 22:58probably marking themselves in some way
  626. 23:00to differentiate themselves. Whether
  627. 23:02it's like a something here, something
  628. 23:04there, whatever it is, armor they're
  629. 23:06wearing like warriors used to do, the
  630. 23:08tribesmen, the tribal, like something
  631. 23:09they're marking themselves so you know
  632. 23:11exactly who they are and where they're
  633. 23:13from.
  634. 23:14Right? They have their own identity,
  635. 23:16their own culture, their own language,
  636. 23:18their own way of life, their own way of
  637. 23:20governance on that local level. That's
  638. 23:22what he's talking about. Unfortunately,
  639. 23:25you have this wrapped up in the native
  640. 23:26level and then you're wondering why, oh
  641. 23:29[ __ ] our countries, we can't seem to
  642. 23:31get out of the corruption. You vote in
  643. 23:33one of the 70, the one is going to help
  644. 23:35the ones group, the other 69 get
  645. 23:38screwed. Imagine that constant nons. Why
  646. 23:41do you think European countries um
  647. 23:44especially during World War II for
  648. 23:45example with ethnic cleansing and
  649. 23:48genocides and all that stuff and it's
  650. 23:49even happening today like Turkey with
  651. 23:51the Kurds in Syria and um where is that
  652. 23:55in eastern Turkey right why do you think
  653. 23:58these nations are expelling all these
  654. 24:00minority groups out of their countries
  655. 24:02or have attempted to or historically
  656. 24:04have committed genocide ethnic cleansing
  657. 24:07and have completely removed a minority
  658. 24:12from within their country. Why do you
  659. 24:15think that historically has happened?
  660. 24:17It's easier to govern a country when
  661. 24:19you're a super majority, when it is just
  662. 24:21your people. There are no special
  663. 24:24interests. There's no carveouts.
  664. 24:26You don't have to cater to 70 different
  665. 24:29other types of people and what they
  666. 24:30want. And if you're one of them, you
  667. 24:32have to give them special treatment cuz
  668. 24:34they voted you and they feel like their
  669. 24:36community didn't receive anything cuz
  670. 24:37hey, bro, you're one of us. You should
  671. 24:39be helping us first then every that's
  672. 24:42why we put you in power and that leads
  673. 24:44to a whole bunch of other problems.
  674. 24:46That's why you need a unified culture or
  675. 24:49a unified system at least backed by the
  676. 24:51government. Like Yugoslavia was
  677. 24:54different Slavic nations, Balkan Slavs,
  678. 24:57and they were brutally oppressing any
  679. 25:00form of nationalism
  680. 25:03along ethnic lines. You were from
  681. 25:05Yugoslavia. You weren't a Croat. You
  682. 25:07weren't a Serb.
  683. 25:09You weren't anything else. A a Bosnjak.
  684. 25:12Nope. You were just from Yugoslavian.
  685. 25:14And if anybody showed ethnic
  686. 25:15nationalism, they were put down
  687. 25:17brutally. What happened after Tito died?
  688. 25:20Yugoslavia fell apart. Why? Because
  689. 25:23ethnic violence rose up again. The Serbs
  690. 25:26wanted power. Bosnians wanted power. The
  691. 25:29Croats wanted power, independence,
  692. 25:31whatever it was. Macedonia power,
  693. 25:33independ, all that stuff. And then they
  694. 25:34all broke apart and turned into smaller
  695. 25:37nations,
  696. 25:38weaker individually. Collectively, they
  697. 25:40were much stronger and would have been
  698. 25:42much richer. But that is how deep the
  699. 25:45division is. That a people like a Serb
  700. 25:48and a Crowat can look at each other as
  701. 25:50an enemy. Although they look the same,
  702. 25:53almost the same. To an outsider, you
  703. 25:55look exactly the same. To non-whites,
  704. 25:57they look exactly the same. They can't
  705. 25:59tell. A Serbian and a Croat. But a
  706. 26:01Serbian and a Croat could tell each
  707. 26:02other the difference. or anybody else in
  708. 26:04the Balkans, but outsiders couldn't.
  709. 26:07That's what happened in Africa.
  710. 26:08Outsiders can't tell the difference
  711. 26:09between this tribe and that tribe, but
  712. 26:11the tribes could. And look what happened
  713. 26:13on the European side. We have the Balkan
  714. 26:15Wars, ethnic cleansing, violence,
  715. 26:17genocide.
  716. 26:20This is what happens when you try to
  717. 26:21have a country of too many different
  718. 26:23people in there. It already we have it
  719. 26:25happened in Europe. It's going to
  720. 26:27continue happening in Africa until they
  721. 26:29sort this out. And how did Europe sort
  722. 26:30it out? Well, [ __ ] Look at Russia and
  723. 26:33Ukraine still sorting it out, battling
  724. 26:35over land, over where ethnically Russian
  725. 26:38people live. A million white men dead.
  726. 26:41You have your answer. It's a brutal one
  727. 26:43that nobody wants to admit. It's going
  728. 26:44to take death, war, violence, probably
  729. 26:48ethnic cleansing, brutal oppression of
  730. 26:50smaller tribes in order for nation
  731. 26:53states to form by the power of their own
  732. 26:56people. the most dominant tribes have to
  733. 26:58rise up and submit the rest and it has
  734. 27:02to be done on African terms and that's
  735. 27:04probably the only way that they can
  736. 27:06begin to build nations and then
  737. 27:07industrialize. That's like I don't know
  738. 27:10if anybody's ever thought of it in this
  739. 27:12kind of context, but if you think about
  740. 27:14a little deeper, it's like wow. Yeah,
  741. 27:16maybe that is the only way. Maybe
  742. 27:18historically, cuz look at China. Same
  743. 27:20[ __ ] guys. If you look at China, China
  744. 27:22has a very long history of dynasties.
  745. 27:24How many millions of Chinese went to war
  746. 27:27with each other in what is now the
  747. 27:30territorial of China? Think about it.
  748. 27:34All the dynasties that have went to war
  749. 27:36with another the empires that have risen
  750. 27:38and fallen, they were waring amongst
  751. 27:40themselves. That's crazy. It happened
  752. 27:43everywhere. Everywhere where there is
  753. 27:45developed nations, it already happened.
  754. 27:48It just hasn't happened in Africa yet. H
  755. 27:51and I don't think the world can stomach
  756. 27:53what that means if it has to happen in
  757. 27:54Africa in order for them to build nation
  758. 27:57states. Like, is the rest of the world
  759. 27:59going to just sit by and watch that kind
  760. 28:00of chaos and destruction? Is there
  761. 28:02another way? Is there a cleaner way to
  762. 28:04do this? Do people willingly give up
  763. 28:07power? That's the question. Do you think
  764. 28:09a nation like Nigeria will willfully,
  765. 28:13a government will willfully just, oh,
  766. 28:15we'll split off into 70 different
  767. 28:16tribes. That's fine and give up the kind
  768. 28:19of power the people at the top currently
  769. 28:21have. By the way, those very same people
  770. 28:23at the top that are benefiting
  771. 28:25tremendously while the rest are
  772. 28:27impoverished, the corruption that is
  773. 28:29rampant, it's rampant. Corruption is
  774. 28:30endemic everywhere in every single
  775. 28:32government. Everywhere from China to the
  776. 28:34West to Africa, Latin America, there's
  777. 28:36corruption at the top of every single
  778. 28:37government. Yeah, it's worse than other
  779. 28:39places. It's still there. But how do you
  780. 28:42get the people at the top, the corrupt,
  781. 28:45to let go of power? Not if they're still
  782. 28:48living. They won't. That's the truth.
  783. 28:50You need a revolution, right?
  784. 28:53Interesting. Interesting to think about.
  785. 28:55>> Develop to your Well, not to your
  786. 28:57standard, but like
  787. 28:58>> what have you benefited from that?
  788. 28:59diversity.
  789. 29:00>> I mean, I I can say I come here and know
  790. 29:02who I am and
  791. 29:04>> but that's because you are a tree.
  792. 29:06>> Yeah.
  793. 29:07>> Not because you're Ghanian. See, when I
  794. 29:09said your name, I could say it from
  795. 29:10anywhere and I said you are a tree. I
  796. 29:12wouldn't say you are Ghana
  797. 29:14and that tree
  798. 29:16forms you.
  799. 29:19>> Okay. So, what about the individual
  800. 29:20tribes in those little countries? Do you
  801. 29:23think those are it's possible for those
  802. 29:26countries to develop like those those
  803. 29:28little tribes like
  804. 29:29>> No, but because because you've made them
  805. 29:31to let go what is called in the
  806. 29:33development of a country
  807. 29:34self-determination.
  808. 29:36That is a goal. Self-determination.
  809. 29:39You've let them go. They can't.
  810. 29:43They can't. You're now saying you are
  811. 29:45Ghanaian. Yet there is nothing. You
  812. 29:48can't raise a child in Ghana as a
  813. 29:49Ghanaian. You can raise a child as a
  814. 29:51tree kid
  815. 29:52>> with your values you have, your culture,
  816. 29:55your dance, your history,
  817. 29:57>> your traditions. You don't wake up in
  818. 30:00Ghana and say, "I'm Ghanaian." You wake
  819. 30:01up as a tree. When you look around, your
  820. 30:04inspiration, your determinations is
  821. 30:06forced by your culture. But now you
  822. 30:09don't have it. They don't teach it. You
  823. 30:11don't have it anymore. Ghanaian, you are
  824. 30:13not. Chi, you're not either. I'm not
  825. 30:17kidding. I want you to look at what I'm
  826. 30:18saying carefully.
  827. 30:20>> I think
  828. 30:21>> if there is no country on earth black
  829. 30:23country that was formed by the people
  830. 30:24who live in it. Every one of you are
  831. 30:26living in a guest house. You seen people
  832. 30:29living in the guest house find the way
  833. 30:31to develop the main house better than
  834. 30:33the owner? Never
  835. 30:38>> why do we have the duda history? Cuz
  836. 30:40they were one people, one religion, one
  837. 30:43history,
  838. 30:45one ethnicity. You couldn't break in.
  839. 30:48That's why we have the tribal marks to
  840. 30:50differentiate them so they can see each
  841. 30:52other and dream dreams. Why do we have
  842. 30:54the Benin kingdom? Why do we have the
  843. 30:57Aome kingdom in Benin Republic and the
  844. 31:00Ashanti kingdom? Who fought the British?
  845. 31:02The Ashantes? Because they were the most
  846. 31:03predominant in the area at the time.
  847. 31:06They were able to have an administration
  848. 31:08form a palace with rulership, land
  849. 31:10division, everything. Where is it? They
  850. 31:13may do become. So it's not divide to
  851. 31:16conquer. is unite to conquer.
  852. 31:20>> So what the colonial took away from you
  853. 31:23is not what you started fighting for
  854. 31:25after 1960. What they took away from you
  855. 31:27is that identity
  856. 31:30for self-determination. But all the
  857. 31:32idiots who got independence included and
  858. 31:35all of them the first thing they started
  859. 31:36working on is economic development
  860. 31:38because they saw the people who
  861. 31:40colonized them. We want to be like them.
  862. 31:42And we've been lost since then.
  863. 31:46You said you went to Ghana and you see
  864. 31:48change. Change happens everywhere.
  865. 31:50Change is not a goal. So let me ask you
  866. 31:53name one thing in YouTube. One thing in
  867. 31:55Nigeria or in Ghana that was originally
  868. 31:58built by a Ghanaian in the realm of
  869. 32:01infrastructure that you guys are coming
  870. 32:02to work on. What is it?
  871. 32:05>> Can't say.
  872. 32:06>> You can't say about you. 130 million
  873. 32:09people every day you are annoying the
  874. 32:11rest of us saying we are the giant of
  875. 32:12Africa. Yeah. [laughter]
  876. 32:14You can't manage a gas station. But yes,
  877. 32:18what is it? You know, and I'm not
  878. 32:19kidding that Nigerian
  879. 32:22>> originally innovated, invented, built
  880. 32:24it, and now people are trying to build
  881. 32:26on it. What is it original? Using the
  882. 32:29four natural resources I just described.
  883. 32:34[laughter]
  884. 32:36Look, I'm from Beni. I'm black as it
  885. 32:38comes. You know, Nancy and I used to go
  886. 32:40to Beni when I had my Heroes program.
  887. 32:42That's how proud I am from. But that
  888. 32:44doesn't mean I'm blind to what I'm
  889. 32:45talking about. Ben is only 3.5 million
  890. 32:48people with 49 different languages.
  891. 32:52>> They can't manage a public toilet.
  892. 32:56>> [ __ ]
  893. 32:56>> I don't want to laugh.
  894. 32:58>> But I would say like I agree with what
  895. 33:00you're saying. Like I do feel like
  896. 33:02>> oh my god
  897. 33:03>> cuz like it's some like people are aware
  898. 33:04I feel like people are aware of like the
  899. 33:06resources that like we have already
  900. 33:09that's in Nigeria already that's like
  901. 33:10building on it and then some people are
  902. 33:12like more focused on like back then
  903. 33:15trying to build up from like economic
  904. 33:17development and things like that
  905. 33:18>> from what
  906. 33:19>> but I just
  907. 33:20>> what original economic system we have in
  908. 33:22>> I'm talking about like the past like
  909. 33:23people are like like colonization back
  910. 33:25in the past people are trying to like
  911. 33:26like you said like trying people are
  912. 33:28trying to use that and like build that
  913. 33:29up. But I do feel like there are certain
  914. 33:31individuals or like people in Nigeria
  915. 33:33that are aware of like the resources
  916. 33:35that like are around us that we already
  917. 33:37have. Like for example like people are
  918. 33:39like building like oil company or like
  919. 33:41water company and things like that. And
  920. 33:43I feel like not everybody is aware that
  921. 33:45we do have natural resources oursel that
  922. 33:48we can. Yeah. I feel like not everybody
  923. 33:50knows
  924. 33:51>> you don't see the water. No, I'm saying
  925. 33:54that people are [laughter] like don't
  926. 33:55have that like knowledge or
  927. 33:57>> why would they have knowledge about
  928. 33:58something they don't have capability to
  929. 34:00use? Why should I care myself about
  930. 34:02uranium when I don't know what to do
  931. 34:04with it?
  932. 34:05>> O damn.
  933. 34:06>> But I feel like people are like they're
  934. 34:07not like they're lack I got to say this
  935. 34:10but like people they're not like they
  936. 34:13see it of course. Yeah, they see it but
  937. 34:14I feel like they're not like able to say
  938. 34:16okay like let me learn what I can build
  939. 34:18from this.
  940. 34:19>> From where? like probably from I'll say
  941. 34:22from history like from our history.
  942. 34:23>> How do you learn how to build
  943. 34:24infrastructure from history?
  944. 34:25>> Like people can like
  945. 34:27>> building infrastructure is a capability.
  946. 34:28I'm talking about capability.
  947. 34:31Yeah, let me use the word so you can
  948. 34:33argue it. You sit around it but you
  949. 34:36can't build it. Why? You don't have the
  950. 34:38capability.
  951. 34:40You don't. That's why you haven't done
  952. 34:42it in any black country even though all
  953. 34:45the resources that everyone else have
  954. 34:47used. Listen, in 19 1945 thereabout,
  955. 34:51Japan was leveled with two atomic bombs.
  956. 34:53No other human country has ever suffered
  957. 34:56that completely.
  958. 34:58In 1945, Japan hasn't invented one
  959. 35:01thing.
  960. 35:03Yeah, they have airplanes. They used to,
  961. 35:04you know, but do you know what 1945?
  962. 35:07Your dad may be still alive. Was born in
  963. 35:09the Yes. Do you see the country right
  964. 35:11now?
  965. 35:13>> Yeah.
  966. 35:14>> They are surrounded by salty ocean. They
  967. 35:17don't even have land.
  968. 35:1973% of Japan 126 million is all taken by
  969. 35:23mountains
  970. 35:26>> is capability.
  971. 35:29capability. Are you
  972. 35:31>> I remember seeing Japan after the
  973. 35:33Fukushima disaster, you know, when they
  974. 35:34had the the giant tsunami that brought
  975. 35:37down one of their nuclear reactors
  976. 35:39[clears throat] and obviously it did
  977. 35:40tremendous damage the earthquake itself
  978. 35:42to the infrastructure which they already
  979. 35:44have worldclass earthquake proof
  980. 35:45infrastructure but imagine seeing like
  981. 35:48you know roads just completely
  982. 35:50disjointed um roads in the city that
  983. 35:52have collapsed right sewage pipes
  984. 35:54visible stuff like that bridges damaged
  985. 35:56um you know random stuff like that and I
  986. 35:59remember contrasting that with um
  987. 36:02Hurricane Katrina in the United States
  988. 36:04and watching people pillaging and
  989. 36:06looting and uh you know what it was like
  990. 36:07seeing that [ __ ] on TV and seeing what
  991. 36:10was going on in New Orleans with
  992. 36:11Hurricane Katrina and the slow recovery
  993. 36:15of rebuilding New Orleans and [ __ ] like
  994. 36:18that
  995. 36:20with the contrast of watching the
  996. 36:22Japanese rebuild after their
  997. 36:24tsunami/earquake.
  998. 36:26It was insane. I remember and I'll never
  999. 36:28forget this cuz it absolutely floored
  1000. 36:30me. It was like a before and after
  1001. 36:31picture and they're like Japan um after
  1002. 36:34the earthquake and then it was uh or
  1003. 36:36right after the earthquake and then it
  1004. 36:38was like a couple like a week later if
  1005. 36:41it was even a week later. I'm not even
  1006. 36:43sure but it was a record amount of time
  1007. 36:45where a huge section of an interstate or
  1008. 36:47a road was massively damaged. I mean,
  1009. 36:50beyond beyond damaged and within a few
  1010. 36:55days,
  1011. 36:56everything looked completely normal,
  1012. 36:58redone, rebuilt. It was like they worked
  1013. 37:00non-stop into the night and made
  1014. 37:03people's way of life back to normal
  1015. 37:04after a massive natural disaster. I was
  1016. 37:07looking at that in shock and admiration.
  1017. 37:10I It's like indescribable. Like, how how
  1018. 37:12are these people so well-coordinated?
  1019. 37:15How are they so capable? how how do how
  1020. 37:17is their society functioning so
  1021. 37:19efficiently? It's uh it leaves you in
  1022. 37:21awe when you see that stuff because
  1023. 37:23we've had natural disasters in you know
  1024. 37:25let's just say Eastern Europe or even
  1025. 37:27Western Europe or other parts of the
  1026. 37:30world and it's everybody struggling to
  1027. 37:32rebuild. [ __ ] is broken down
  1028. 37:35looking terrible. It's been years.
  1029. 37:38Construction is slow. Money got siphoned
  1030. 37:40off to corruption. It never got to the
  1031. 37:42project. Delays left and right. They're
  1032. 37:44moving slow as molasses. And then here
  1033. 37:46you have like Japan for example. And
  1034. 37:49just within a week they manage major
  1035. 37:52repairs that would take any other
  1036. 37:54country besides probably China months if
  1037. 37:58not a year to complete. Crazy man. It's
  1038. 38:01crazy.
  1039. 38:03>> But like are you saying that we're
  1040. 38:04lacking that capability because we don't
  1041. 38:07have that selfdetermination?
  1042. 38:08>> No, not at all. It's natural.
  1043. 38:10>> It's natural.
  1044. 38:11>> It's a natural. So
  1045. 38:12>> yeah, like we're naturally lacking that
  1046. 38:14capability.
  1047. 38:15>> Yes.
  1048. 38:16>> So you don't think we can build
  1049. 38:17[laughter] or like have like eventually
  1050. 38:20like have that capability to like say
  1051. 38:22okay let me start knowing what
  1052. 38:23>> capabilities don't come eventually. They
  1053. 38:25are either in you from the beginning or
  1054. 38:26they're not.
  1055. 38:27>> So [ __ ]
  1056. 38:29>> and the fish claim.
  1057. 38:30>> No.
  1058. 38:31>> So if that is what is required of the
  1059. 38:32fish
  1060. 38:34>> doesn't have that capability.
  1061. 38:35>> There's evolution.
  1062. 38:36>> No I don't care. I won't be around for
  1063. 38:38evolution. I'm talking about now.
  1064. 38:40[laughter]
  1065. 38:42If that is what is required of the fish,
  1066. 38:45the fruits are on the tree, right?
  1067. 38:47Golden fruit. If the fish can reach it,
  1068. 38:49the fruit will become very rich. Plugg
  1069. 38:51it and sell it. Can the fish plug it?
  1070. 38:55So the the the golden fruit will be
  1071. 38:57there and the fish will be here and be
  1072. 39:00and be hungry. So your resources are
  1073. 39:03there but you're hungry because you
  1074. 39:06don't have a capability and you're
  1075. 39:08refusing to accept it because it's too
  1076. 39:10emotional for you.
  1077. 39:12>> I agree with that.
  1078. 39:14I am talking about 53 countries on earth
  1079. 39:1814 [snorts]
  1080. 39:19makes echoas
  1081. 39:21and just by accident not even one
  1082. 39:25you have to see it on Instagram
  1083. 39:28and you still think that I'm saying
  1084. 39:31something stupid
  1085. 39:33but why do you think you should have
  1086. 39:34that capability?
  1087. 39:37Let me ask you, you've traveled quite
  1088. 39:40wide. Have you seen any car made in
  1089. 39:41Saudi Arabia?
  1090. 39:44No. Have you seen any electronics made
  1091. 39:46in Saudi Arabia?
  1092. 39:47>> Okay. Have you seen any internet service
  1093. 39:50or product made in Saudi Arabia?
  1094. 39:52>> I haven't seen that.
  1095. 39:53>> Okay. You call the Saudi Arabia
  1096. 39:54thirdware country. No.
  1097. 39:57But
  1098. 39:59they are full of infrastructure. It's
  1099. 40:01working. How do they do it?
  1100. 40:03>> Whites. Why? Like Dubai. When I went to
  1101. 40:06Dubai, I was shocked. It's all
  1102. 40:07Europeanmade. It's all European designed
  1103. 40:10with Arab money essentially infinite oil
  1104. 40:13money. They brought over European
  1105. 40:16technology, European expertise, experts,
  1106. 40:19specialist, and they designed and built
  1107. 40:22Dubai backed by Arab capital. That's how
  1108. 40:26Dubai with slave labor of course. So
  1109. 40:28slave labor with European ingenuity and
  1110. 40:32special
  1111. 40:33or expertise
  1112. 40:36backed by Arab capital. And when you
  1113. 40:39have all those three together, you
  1114. 40:40sprouted up a Dubai and whatever else in
  1115. 40:44the Gulf States, all the other cities
  1116. 40:46that look absolutely insane like
  1117. 40:48capitalism on steroids.
  1118. 40:51>> Okay. But like but like so are you I
  1119. 40:54can't answer that question, but I'm
  1120. 40:55posing another question. Sure. Are you
  1121. 40:57saying that they have that capability?
  1122. 40:58>> They don't have it.
  1123. 41:00>> So,
  1124. 41:00>> yeah, they don't.
  1125. 41:01>> Okay. [laughter] The difference.
  1126. 41:02>> So, what would the what would the fish
  1127. 41:04do to get the fruits?
  1128. 41:06>> The fish would employ the skills of the
  1129. 41:09monkey and say, "Bring it down. You get
  1130. 41:1010%, I get 90%."
  1131. 41:14The problem is you're trying to do it
  1132. 41:15yourself because you look outside and
  1133. 41:17you think others can do it, we can do
  1134. 41:19it. It's not true. I lived in Kenya for
  1135. 41:225 years, straight five years. I live on
  1136. 41:24a compound of about 2.5 acres of land.
  1137. 41:27Trees everywhere
  1138. 41:30for 5 years. The trees, the leaves never
  1139. 41:33fell. Winter never came. Spring never
  1140. 41:36came. My wardrobe was the same wardrobe.
  1141. 41:40Okay. Cotton shirt. By 11:00 a.m. I'm on
  1142. 41:43the compound.
  1143. 41:46Africa is the only tropical continent on
  1144. 41:49Earth.
  1145. 41:51Have you seen any country that is
  1146. 41:53industrialized and is tropical?
  1147. 41:58>> No. Have you seen any country that have
  1148. 42:00four seasons and looks like Sudan or
  1149. 42:02Salo?
  1150. 42:04>> No.
  1151. 42:05>> Okay. You see where I'm going?
  1152. 42:08>> The only thing we didn't have and don't
  1153. 42:11have is natural threat. Africa never
  1154. 42:13suffered it. Is the most comfortable
  1155. 42:15environment ever. You don't have to draw
  1156. 42:19the water and store it cuz it never
  1157. 42:22freezes.
  1158. 42:24>> And it's everywhere. Yeah.
  1159. 42:26>> I see. But if you are born in a place
  1160. 42:30like here, every 3 months your brain is
  1161. 42:33worried. So not because you're smart,
  1162. 42:36it's just you have typhoon, hurricanes,
  1163. 42:39tsunamis, titanic pl shakes,
  1164. 42:42earthquakes, winter up to here killing
  1165. 42:45people. Springs hardcore four. What do
  1166. 42:48you have? Oh,
  1167. 42:54>> son of
  1168. 42:54>> nothing ever threatens.
  1169. 42:58And when that happens over millions of
  1170. 43:00years, the brain doesn't even predict.
  1171. 43:03No, Africa is predictable.
  1172. 43:06>> We just stay comfortable.
  1173. 43:07>> That's correct.
  1174. 43:09>> Wow.
  1175. 43:12Now we're getting into evolution.
  1176. 43:13Genetic talk. Oh my lord.
  1177. 43:16>> So do you think that's an issue like
  1178. 43:18with us like I don't I'm not saying just
  1179. 43:20for Nigeria but like some African
  1180. 43:22countries where like comfortable in our
  1181. 43:24own like space thinking
  1182. 43:25>> yes people are people want what we got
  1183. 43:28but you're saying I'm not developed. The
  1184. 43:30only time that you became this and
  1185. 43:32people can point fingers is because like
  1186. 43:33you two said the only time I knew my
  1187. 43:36country was not developed is when I came
  1188. 43:37to the western world. But
  1189. 43:40>> interesting.
  1190. 43:41>> You're not a western world. don't want
  1191. 43:43that our people bleach because they
  1192. 43:44think if they become white enough they
  1193. 43:46can change their environment.
  1194. 43:49>> What a good episode. Again, if you guys
  1195. 43:51want to see more, I highly encourage you
  1196. 43:53watch some of his stuff. Um, I expect
  1197. 43:55him to be blowing up over the next
  1198. 43:57couple of years because he's going
  1199. 43:58counter to the mainstream narrative, the
  1200. 44:01victimhood, the oppression Olympics, the
  1201. 44:04systemic this, the colonial that. um
  1202. 44:07he's actually having a conversation with
  1203. 44:10people from the community about the
  1204. 44:12community's issues and I think it's very
  1205. 44:14positive. Anyways, if you found this
  1206. 44:16interesting, go watch his channel. It's
  1207. 44:18Frank Zanu and as usual,
  1208. 44:21we'll see you on the next one. Take care
  1209. 44:22everybody.
