In this episode, I spoke about Africa’s 150-year-long losing streak, ever since the European powers (notably Germany, France, Belgium and Britain) began carving up Africa's resources, roughly around 1870. Africa, at first, saw Europeans as their friends and partners, unaware that Europeans were after their natural wealth. Then, Africans got addicted to German alcohol, and soon, Western corporations began seizing African markets (such as Heineken). The African losing streak can be ended by putting smarter people in charge, but then again, this isn’t my responsibility. I will start focusing on Europe, beginning with the question quo vadis? Where are we headed, what will our future look like?
