Agreed - there appears to be zero ability for introspection. Yet people expect there to be changes.

ezicat: Another self-hater,

Listen. If you want to be be a slave - go ahead; just don't drag me in with you or label me with the same brush (I manage projects for a firm in North America not because I lack managerial skills but because I have them; and I'm as African as they come). Your list of all these things about the constitution this and the right of the citizen that - do you think black South Africans had all that under apartheid? NO. So what's your point? The counter argument would be, do black South Africans now have those rights under black rule? That answer to that is NOT YET. There is still a long way to go; there are still a lot of struggles ahead. THAT is the difference between racial discrimination and corruption.

And as for my South African example - I was illustrating the fact that the fruits of a country's labour are more likely to stay within the country after independence than leave. Judicious leaders know how to use those extra funds. Let me give another example - the US; that was one of the reasons for the fight for independence: to stop the UK from squeezing them dry.

I dont argue much where common sense should help.
Nigerians under blacks have not had the priviledge of citizenship likewise their counterparts in SA.
nuff said.
