They’ve got where they are today –with huge numbers beyond their capacity to feed themselves- because they imported modern form of government.

That is a crucial point.

For a central government organized them in a society that is an improvement from the tribes they had before.

With that, above, numbers skyrocket:
• Government increase food production
• Sell rights for mining.
• Implement cash crops that can exchanged for foreign goods.
• Implement a medical system making available cheap drugs
• Basic Educate them in the language of the colonial masters

To break through to the next stage it is hard because the numbers conspire against them
• Give you the numbers in Nigeria: they can feed easily 50 million
• Struggle to feed 80 million
• Very tough to feed 120 million
