[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=7) And I don't give a fuck if someone calls it racist or whatever they call it. [0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=11) Everybody has a right to their own place. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=13) They have their own place. If they wanna create prosperity, learn fucking economics, learn how to produce, learn how to farm, learn how to manufacture and export. [0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=24) Maybe we should create programs for that. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=27) Oh, we already done that. It doesn't work. [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=29) Anybody who argues for this shit anywhere across the world should be required to have these people, at least one family of these people, living in your home. [0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=39) Otherwise, you get no vote, no say, no opinion whatsoever, unless you are actively taking care of one of these families. [0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=46) Otherwise, shut the fuck up. Honestly, I cannot argue with this gentleman. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=52) He's right. He's right. We all have our own territories that we could be working to building. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=57) And that's why I urge Africans to stop playing the victim's game because the rest of the world honestly don't care anymore. Yeah. [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=65) If you're an African and you, and you live somewhere in the diasporas and you have seen the realities here, you see how they farm, they produce. [1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=71) Learn, learn in an organized manner from them. Okay? [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=75) Make friends and alliances and try to do the best you can back in the country than you come... you, you crawl out of. [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=82) All right? Back in the shithole that you crawl out of. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=85) Let's all do that. I mean, I know I'm trying to do that. [1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=89) Mm. I might not sound like it, but I'm trying the best I can to build something in Africa for them. [1:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=95) That's what you should be doing. Learn from these people in an organized manner because they actually know more than us. [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=100) That's why we are here. And then invest in Africa and build it in Global South or wherever the hell you are from. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=106) That's how we do it. But thinking that we can just import everybody from Cameroon, from Nigeria, from Gabon here, and then just have them live here the way they did back home is rubbish. [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=119) Everything we did did not work out. That's why we migrated here. [2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=122) We can't import that nonsense here. Okay? [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=124) And the resources here are not infinite. [2:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=126) They can't bring everybody here. So we have to learn here and apply back home so that the people that are there don't have to come here. [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=133) They can strive back home. But we have to have a, a, a cultural rethink because I think our cultures are not really promoting growth. [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=141) We have to have a cultural rethink and also rethink the way we approach things so that we can promote growth. [2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=148) All right? 60 years of being independent in Africa, we have done nothing. [2:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=152) Something is wrong. And it's not the Western world, it's me and you. [2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/jbE6SBHupzc0/en/african-migration-cultural-change-and-economic-development?t=156) We have to accept these facts and then start building from there
