Observers of the world stage are puzzled by the developing backwardness state existing in sub-Saharan African countries (since the era of the independence) - when Asia and Americas had made substantial progress for better living conditions. They are puzzled and fazed because the continent does have everything to move forward and improve the living conditions of the populations.
Some of these observers had even ruled out the Black continent from the world progress and labeled it as doomed - for ever.
Most of the "pessimists" proclaim that Africans have an innate inferiority to organizing themselves, to master the environment in order to improving social and economic conditions.
Of course, we at Africabiz Online do not share that view as proved by monthly deliveries since 1999 - that show the black continent is the only virgin investment territory left for double-digit return on vested money.
Obviously, these pessimistic and cynical people are not well informed and just convey a mainstream belief in European countries.
To provide argument and help "correct" that opinion, we, at Africabiz Online decided to bring to the attention of the audience a book, written in 1972 and titled: "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa."
That book put things back into perspective. It shows first that Africans are not less organized than any other people in the world, and, second that they should not be considered as the sole responsible for the backwardness state now existing in African countries.
