WARNING! AFRICA IS NOT DEVELOPING!!ARE AFRICAN’S EXISTENCE AS HUMANS AT RISK!?

Recent advancements in biotechnology have seen a merging of the human body with machines. This merging, popularly called transhumanism, is aimed at creating a new type of human being that is smarter, stronger, and better than the current human species. Transhumanism involves the use of technologies such as genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and cybernetics to enhance human capabilities. As transhumanism continues to advance, the definition of what it means to be human will undoubtedly change. The integration of machines and humans will blur the lines between the two, leading to a new definition of what it means to be human. In the next 50 years, it is expected that technological advancements in transhumanism will change the definition of a human being significantly.

However, the prospects for African people meeting this new definition of what it means to be human may be hindered by the continent’s underdevelopment and declining development. Africa has struggled to keep up with the rest of the world in terms of technological advancements, which may hinder their ability to keep pace with the changes in the definition of human beings. African countries lag behind in the development of critical infrastructure such as electricity, roads, and the internet. These are essential components for developing technological advancements such as AI, remote monitoring and surgery, and cybernetics, all of which are core aspects of transhumanism.

Africa is a vast continent with diverse cultures, abundant resources and emerging economies that should be the envy of the world. But the reality is starkly different. In fact, the idea that Africa is developing is simply self-deception by governments and organizations that profit from the exploitation of Africa’s natural and human resources. The truth is that Africa is not developing – it is declining in key socio-economic sectors such as education, health, defence, currency, manufacturing and many others. Despite the many opportunities available, Africa appears not to be making progress, a situation that is a cause for concern. If the current decline continues, a new phase of economic and even political colonization looms for Africa. Moreover, Africa’s struggling healthcare systems and low education rates may impact their integration into a world that comprises enhanced humans. For example, low education rates indicate limited exposure to technological advancements, which is a crucial factor for understanding and keeping up with developments in transhumanism. Additionally, access to healthcare determines the availability of healthcare technologies that could be leveraged by transhumanists. The lack of access to healthcare will limit the ability of the African people to access technologies that will integrate them with machines.

Furthermore, the technological advancement gaps between African countries and Western countries are too significant, which may have significant social and economic implications. Western countries may forge ahead, leaving Africa behind if the continent fails to close this gap. The answer, therefore, lies in African governments and institutions prioritizing the development of critical infrastructure, such as education, healthcare, and technology, to create a conducive environment for technological advancements such as transhumanism. This will not only help African countries to keep pace with the rest of the world but also ensure that Africa is well-positioned to take advantage of the changes in the definition of human beings. In the end, the definition of human beings will change, and the African people must be ready to embrace and take advantage of it. While Africa has lagged behind in technological advancements, the future can be bright, provided that African countries prioritize development and harness the power of technology to advance their societies, ensuring that they are not left behind in the changing definition of human beings. If the current decline continues, a new phase of economic and even political colonization looms for Africa.

Every African of every class and nature must be made to understand that good governance and socio-economic development is not only good but it necessary for Africa’s survival economically and politically. Good governance and socio-economic development will only come if and when governments in Africa are run by only those who seek development for Africa rigorously.  A good life for the African does not mean migrating to a developed country, instead it means working for the development of Africa by Africa in Africa no matter how daunting the task may be or impossible it may seem.  Despite the challenges facing the continent, African people have the potential to develop themselves. Africa has a strong entrepreneurial spirit, with many small businesses thriving in various sectors. Moreover, the youth in Africa present a significant opportunity for the continent’s development, with their innovative ideas and desire to make a difference. African governments must invest in education, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors to create economic opportunities for their citizens. Similarly, the government must invest in critical infrastructure such as transport, power, and water to spur economic growth.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Africa is not developing, with socio-economic sectors such as education, health, defence, currency, and manufacturing experiencing a significant decline. Mass migrations and brain drain are further hindering the continent’s development, leading to a loss of human capital. African governments must prioritize the development of key sectors and invest in critical infrastructure to create economic opportunities for their citizens. Moreover, African people must realize that the solution to Africa’s underdevelopment lies in their hands and must act on the realization by developing themselves. Failure to do so will lead to Africa’s recolonization or enslavement in the next 50 years.
