Why African Countries Can't Be Like Singapore?

[@IsaacAdjeiSafo]

nice work and thought-provoking questions. Since you are there, could you try and talk to some of the Singaporean people, maybe those at the Universities and asked them about their developmental model. Africa especially Ghana was at par with Singapore some years ago but the difference in development is clear now. The Question is what can we learn from them and if their economic or developmental model is currently relevant to African countries. I would be glad if you can host a panel in future to initiate this discussion. The response would be interesting………… But to me, Africa should develop its own economic model .

[@mboihk3796]

Every Country has the potential to become rich and prosperous provided the leaders and citizens work together with dedication. Upto 70s Singapore was a poor underdeveloped small island with no resources but imagine they become one of the richest Countries in the world now... It is because of their visionary leaders and people's participation in the process in developing their tiny islands... But if you wanna follow Singapore and Chinese model of growth, western Countries won't like you because both are ruled by single party govt. who dedicated for their Nation.... that's why Singapore is one of the richest Country in the world now and China is the fastest growing economy who is soon to surpassed American economic hegemony.... After all, it depends on the leaders integrity and nothing gonna change unless you have a leader who love his country more than money and his personal interest...

I'm a south korean living temporarily in Tanzania at the moment. I might be mistaken but one of the factors that played no insignificant role in Korea's economic growth was education. By that I mean, even when korea was so poor after the Korean war, people put a great weight on children's education. It's more like east asian thing since it's seen in China as well. I believe the investment in children's education planted seeds of development in the future generation.

Singapore is a diminutive state underwritten by a marginal population. To boot, it is of no strategic import to the capitalist imperialist axis whose cutthroat neocolonial predation on post colonial African states - as an expedient in service of international finance capital and its unbridled avaricious purview that extends to all resource endowed domains, not in the least Somalia, Eritrea, and South Sudan - has both overtly and surreptitiously arrested natural development in Africa. Nations whose hydrocarbon concessions alone dwarve Singapore appropo strategic substance. Eritrea has for almost 30 years been subject to economic sanctions, South Sudan has since the 80s been the playground of agents of imperialism to carve out Sudan and unilaterally reroute its oil and gas reserves to western markets until Salva Kiir began selling oil concessions to China fostering imperialist backed non state actors, whilst Somalia was primed for wholesale dissolution as early as 1979 in view of major discoveries of offshore and inladlnd oil and with the organisation of tribal supremacist death squads in London and Riyadh against the anticolonial Pan-Africanist Socialist republic that was Somalia under Barre. Africa's deleterious symptomatic afflictions that have become almost platitudinous are almost always actuated by adventitious agents of imperialism and neocolonialism. But the recourse of the unwitting is to pre-occupy oneself with sophistical teleological treatises on Africas "problems", rather than its root cause, which is imperialism.

Corruption is one issue. Other country ripped natural resource from Africa to their own country is true. I told my african friends a long time ago. Africa can be rich, economically rich. 3 hindering factors: corruption, racial conflict and make religon part of politics. But a penny worth tip here from what i learn from my African related friends. Singapore's core is racial harmony and avoid having a national religon. On whole in Africa, other than corruption... theres lack of racial harmony between tribes. Lack Religon tolerance. 0 Racial harmony is a crucial factor that made Singapore easy to trade. Emotional safe. I agree Rwanda is close. If Rwanda can achieve racial harmony...do not let religon interfere politics...then the economy will rocket.

Wode Maya our great grandfathers have failed us ( africans ). Our countries cant develop we are divided with clans+ religions+ countries. Thanks anyway

[@VividReality74]

same as India, some countries are made to stay resourceful to help the rest of the world.

[@enkii82]

worse in singapore, they have clans(hokkien, cantonese, hakka, java, bajau, bugis, chapma, singhalese etc) + race(chinese, indian, malay, etc) + religions(taosm, buddhism,islam christian, islam, hindu) + languages(mandarin, malay, tamil, hindi, others) + no water!!

First, ppl must be woke n ditch the religion that was used to enslave your ancestors and is still brainwashing the new generation with it.

[@JK-gu3tl]

Older generation can be forgiven, ignorance was more common.

[@dinhos2000]

Honestly this is one of the best videos you've ever made.We need to stop pretending as though Africa doesn't have serious problems. When you travel round the world you realise that Africa still has a long way to go.We should start organizing instead of just blaming politicians.

Rwanda has the potentials to be the Singapore of Africa. Singapore is a shining example of what visionary leaders can do. It's a shame most black African leaders are fools - big fools.

What do you call people who vote big fools into power?

[@phrancisco2847]

@@NewmaticKe If you're familiar with election processes in Africa you'd understand most times the voters really do not have any say because elections in most cases are rigged. So the question should be: What do we call people who allow their votes to be taken for granted ?
