It's not easy to explain to Westerners but Africans are not industrious, creative or productive, by nature.

It's all those mild Winters, I reckon.
It's funny you should say that, but I'm always struck by the difference between African 'poverty' and similar conditions on the sub-continent. In India one sees the blank-eyed hopelessness of the poor, able to maintain the Asian squat under a shady tree for hours whilst awaiting their fate, whilst in Africa, certainly for the last 10 years, one sees bustle and industry and an apparent determination to do something about it. wd africans imo.
