Africa is basically a paradise in terms of natural resources, with so much mineral wealth the Chinese and the Americans are fighting proxy wars all over the place to control it, not to mention some of the most desirable arable land on the face of the planet. There are multiple breeds of domestic livestock which have been there for several thousand years, and different African groups domesticated several staple crops including rice, which was always enough for China.
The truth is that despite having this material wealth at their fingertips - and despite complex societies developing several times in several places with minimal interference from Europe or Asia for many thousand years - Africans have gotten nowhere. In fact, complex societies in Africa that weren't particularly complex by European or Asian or even native American standards all collapsed in a very short timeframe.
And what's worse, within a few decades of colonising Africa, Europeans and Asians have transformed it into a breadbasket of absolutely phenomenal productivity (as the Romans and Carthaginians did with North Africa, and the British and Dutch did with Rhodesia and various parts of SA.)
Africans are basically such failures that they have to lie about being dealt what was basically the best starting hand at the whole table to make their fuckups less embarrassing.
