  1. King Arthur: British King raised by prostitutes who claimed his sword from the Lady of the Lake and found the Cup of Christ.

 

If you have not had the opportunity to read the Legend of King Arthur, you must have probably watched movies like “Monty Python,” “King Arthur” and “The Holy Grail” and so on.

To make the long story short, King Arthur is a household name all over the world. The above-mentioned movies narrate the story of King Arthur, a British King, who was allegedly raised by prostitutes. When he became of age, he claimed his sword from the Lady of the Lake and found the Cup of Christ.

Much as the above information may seem interesting and realistic, there are no historical facts or evidence to support the existence of King Arthur in real life.

  1. Mary Magdalene: Witness to the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ
Mary Magdalene

According to the synoptic Gospels, Mary Magdalene is alleged to have witnessed the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ but many sources claim that there is no justification of her actual existence.

  1. Zorro: a masked man who left a “Z” mark on bad guys

If you may have completely believed in the existence of this masked man who left a “Z” mark on bad guys, then I am so sorry I will have to disappoint you.

The truth is that there is no guy dubbed Don Diego de la Vega in history. Zorro is a creation of Johnston McCulley in 1919.

  1. William Shakespeare: author of Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and Macbeth

Unbelievable, right? I mean William Shakespeare gave us the most romantic plays that have passed the test of time! According to history, it turns out William Shakespeare might have been a fictional name. it is believed that the real authors of the above plays might have been forgotten somehow.

  1. Jack Dawson: an artist who lived under the bridge

 

This is getting quite interesting! Do you remember “The Titanic?” I have always believed that Jack Dawson, the artist who lived under the bridge was a real person. To say the truth, there existed a Jack Dawson aboard on the Titanic but happens to be a servant, not an artist who lived under the bridge!

  1. Robin Hood: a noble and sanctified thief who stole from the rich and gave to the poor

 

Many people’s hearts have been smitten by Robin Hood, the noble, sanctified thief who stole from the rich and gave to the poor.

He stole the hearts of many, including yours and mine besides teaching us that it is very possible to change your position in life.

Unfortunately, amazing as he is, Robin Hood is a product of the powerful nature of human imagination.

  1. Mulan: a Chinese warrior princess who disguised herself by dressing as a man to fight in combats

Are you a fan of the Disney Movie? If you are, then you must have interacted with a lovely character named Mulan. Mulan is a Chinese warrior princess who disguised herself by dressing as a man to fight in combats. This led many to believe that she existed.

If you did believe in her existence, then Disney was on point in as far as characterization is concerned.

  1. Spiderman: a superhero with spider-related abilities acquired from a bite by a radioactive spider

 

Hailed and feared by many, the amazing spider man has featured in numerous movies making many people believe that Spiderman is real.

Spiderman first appeared in a movie dubbed “Amazing Fantasy” in August 1962. Since then, he has featured in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, television shows, movies and video game adaptations.

Interestingly as he may seem, the name Spiderman cannot be linked to actual historical figures in real-life situations.

  1. Cinderella: The princess saved “through a glass sandal” from the brutality of her evil stepmother and 2 jealous stepsisters

 

Do you recall the princess with the glass sandal and the romantic Price who fell head over heels in love with her?

Well, that is the Cinderella whom you wished could have been real but once more, Disney Movie has hit you below the belt.

Cinderella is a fictional character who does not exist beyond your screen.

  1. Pai Mei: a renowned character in Kungfu movies

Is Kungfu your daily bread and you cannot stop cursing the day that your mother gave you another name other than Bak Mei?

I am so sorry my dear since you will be greatly disappointed finding out that Bak Mei is not real. Yes, believe it or not, he is a fictionalized character in Hong Kong Martial films such as “Executioners from Shaolin (1977) and “Clan of the White Lotus 1980).

(In photos) Top 10 Poorest Countries in the world 2020/2021,  their GDP and key challenges

List of top 10 poorest nations in the world 2020/ 2021

A country’s Gross Domestic Product is a key factor in determining how rich or poor it is.

Advertisements

The saddest part of it all is the fact that most poor countries are found in Africa.

The key bottlenecks in the countries’ economic development are political unrest and civil wars except for the Gambia which is still poor despite enjoying a serene and stable political environment.

Below is a list of top 10 poorest countries in the world 2020/2021

Advertisements
  1. Central African Republic (CAR)

The Gross Domestic Product, GDP OF THE Central African Republic stood at approximately $ 3.1 Billion in 2017.

Its Gross National Income per capita is $ 663. This is a rare case since only a few countries in the world have a GNI per capita that is below $1000.

Despite the Central African Republic has a lot of resources including gold and diamond at its disposal, political instability, coups, and corruption have greatly contributed to the slow economic growth.

The majority of its citizens reside in the remotest parts of the Central African Republic with 90% of those living in urban areas residing in slums.

  1. Niger

Niger is also one of the poorest countries in the world (2020.)

Niger’s GDP is $19.9 billion despite its population being 21.5 million.

Most of Niger’s citizens live in rural areas.

The Key impediments to Niger’s economic development are corruption and political instability.

  1. Burundi

Burundi’s GNP stands at $7.3 million with over 87% of the population living in rural areas. After independence, civil wars between the Hutu and Tutsi led to mass deaths and political unrest that have prevented Burundi from achieving its economic development dreams.

The most shocking fact is that only 10 % of Burundi’s population has got access to electricity.

Besides, Burundi has got very high mortality rates.

  1. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

The latest GDP of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is $ 65.7 billion.

The country’s total population stands at 81.3 million.

Despite being blessed with gold, copper and diamond; DRC is still lagging behind in terms of economic development due to wars and political unrest.

The majority of the population lives in rural areas and they have opted for Agriculture as the primary means of fending for themselves.

  1. Solomon Islands

Located in the South Pacific, Solomon Islands’ GDP is $ 1.3 million. The current population of Solomon Islands is 616, 000 people.

The country experienced several civil unrests since the 1990s and wars with other neighboring island nations.

Solomon Islands’ average life expectancy is 71 years.

  1. Haiti

Located in the Caribbean Island of Hispaniola, Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the world owing to the several unfavorable factors surrounding it.

One of its key challenges is the long-overdue colonial rule given that Haiti was left at the mercy of colonial masters due to the huge unsettled debt they owed them.

This has led to political unrest.

Haiti majorly relies on farming to fend for over 11.1 million people.

Haiti’s GDP stands at $ 18.23 with a life expectancy of 63 years.

  1. Malawi

With a GDP of $20.4 billion and a population of 18.6 million, Malawi qualifies to be listed in the list of top 10 poorest countries in the world.

Malawi has been greatly affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic leaving many children as orphans.

Malawi’s life expectancy is 63.7 years.

  1. Madagascar

Madagascar is an island nation with a GDP of 36.2 million and a population of 25.6 million. Its GDP is still low since after attaining independence in 1960, Madagascar has gone through political unrest and coups.

The country depends on Agriculture and tourism as a means of eking an income.

  1. The Gambia

With a GDP of $3.2 million and a population of 2.1 million, Gambia is still performing poorly despite enjoying a serene and stable political environment.

Gambia’s GNI per capita is $1471 and heavily depends on agriculture.

 

  1. Liberia

Liberia’s GDP is $ 5.5 billion. The country’s population is 4.7 million. Civil wars and coups have seen to it that Liberia does not develop economically. Besides, corruption is the order of the day in Liberia.

Many Liberians are yet to enjoy the benefits of electricity and a balanced diet to prevent cases of malnourishment.
