^^^The bolded struck a chord with me; zeroing your assertion down to Nigeria: same could be said about our ethnic groups that can be so territorial and possesive; esp' if it's a fellow nigger Nigerian who isn't from your ethnicity.....and 'screw' issues of qualification and merit; we no get time for all that nonsense .

Can you imagine the uproar if it was just one Nigerian ethnic group (instead of caucasians) that -by merit- owned and ran the oil comapanies like Shell, Chevron, etc?......blood for don flow by now!; but oyibo man?.......no wahala, make he dey exploit dey go; no wonder we are getting royally screwed in every way possible.

The issue of our useless elite/leaders selling us and our resources to the highest bidder is another story altogether.

pleep: It seems like Africans are naturally unintelligent. What can we do about this?

pleep: Not the land, the mineral rights under the land. For example my grandmas village is on top of a natural gas reserve, the land istelf belongs to the villagers but the right to extract the resources belongs to the government.

The gov can sell it to anyone they want at any time. Its a horrible law.

shymexx:


And what's the correlation between your rants and the topic??

nnenna.1:


Assuming this right to extract minerals was exercised would this mean displacement of land owners/eviction? Do mineral rights take precedence over land ownership? Anyone with more info on this please explain.

PROUD-IGBO:

^^^If you didn't have your brain in your arrse, you'd have noticed i quoted and was responding to Nnennas' post.

I suppose you don't take the trash you've posted earlier on this thread as 'rants'?

Wishful thinking...

Africa/Africans are too cowardly and stupid to form anything like OPEC... Gaddafi started the same thing when the AU was formed and that was the initial plan... However, how many African leaders and Africans supported him when the Western hawks came smashing through his front door?? Nigeria was among the first country to vote for intervention and recognise the rebel... And most Nigerians sided with the west without actually knowing what was going on in Libya... The dictator narrative got everyone cheering for the west - however, what you just proposed was his biggest sin...

Africans deserve whatever they get, to be honest...

God bless you very much Shymexx, I'm not in anyway stalking you but your comment above is excellent and you have shown that you actually read deeper than a lot of people would do. I weep for Africa because they (and I mean majority are fools and cowards). We swallow every nonsense from the western media and that was exactly why everyone stood still and let them come and kill our only human hope My hero Ghadaffi and now we are moaning that they are robbing Africa blind. Like you said where were the leaders when Ghadaffi was being hunted for committing the crime of calling all African countries to stick together and repel the imperialists. Mtcheww I really weep for Africa and I am so saddened to know that we didn't learn a thing from history

shymexx:

If your IQ wasn't 69 like that of the average Nigerian, you would know my post wasn't a rant... It was an attack on the stupid propaganda and the propaganda machine trying to blame China for the inefficiencies of the Angolan and other African leaders...

Yours on the other has has no correlation whatsoever with the topic, yet you kept on ranting and raving like a freaking lunatic...

PROUD-IGBO:

^^^I chuckled a bit at the bolded....oh boy, see vex now!

Lemme break it down into bite-sized chunks for your puny little brain: the topic is on fears that China is buying up Africa, not so?; Nnenna made a valid point, and i quote: "We are only territorial when fellow Africans are involved. But we go from one white-skinned colonizer to the next - no wahala"; i agreed with her, and went on to use the Nigerian situation as a case in point......kapish, olodo?

PROUD-IGBO:


You likewise chose to look at the issue from the 'Ghadaffi' angle, and i could equally have said you're going off on a tangent as well.

shymexx:

You're a joker!! - not surprised, anyway... I was just telling you to "watch this space" before you turn the thread into another Yoruba vs. Igbo nonsense... The topic has no correlation whatsoever with you analogy - and you and I the chic who drew the indirect comparison are the biggest whiners about other tribes attacking Igbos... Yet, you lot are fond of comparing every darn thing with the struggles of Igbo people... I bet you'll start crying again when the Yoruba hawks invade this thread... And people are territorial because the country is a tribalised country and it has been like that for eons....

If your pint-sized cro-magnon wasn't so useless, you would know that China's rise has been a peaceful one with NON-INTERFERENCE... They render the services you want for whatever you sell to them... Whatever you do after that is none of their business... You don't expect them to start spoon-feeding Africans on how to make effective use of these services, do you??

Perhaps, if Africans were not so weak and dumb, you lot would be able to use your resources judiciously without anyone taking advantage of you...

shymexx:

How did I go off tangent?

Someone suggested an OPEC-like institution and I gave an example(citing Gaddafi's proposal) of how it's never going to work in Africa...

You're ridiculously dumb, trust me...

$tunna:


Oh, the TV documentary was of 2 Americans who went broke after the housing bubble in the US and went to Ghana to mine gold and made $130.000 in 3 months (20.000.000.00Naira) and are now going back to make millions of dollars and they show them arriving in Ghana and some Chinese with big guns where already mining the land the 2 guys got permit for and payed the local chiefs for and there was no damn thing the men could do!! poverty stricken africans living in mud houses were shown helping the Chinese with the work and i felt like i was going to explode in anger...!

TITTLE: "JUNGLE GOLD" on the 'Discovery channel' if you live in North America

nnenna.1:
I am sorry to say this but Africans are such a weak and passive race of people.

We are only territorial when fellow Africans are involved. But we go from one white-skinned colonizer to the next - no wahala.

As a man thinketh, so is he. If our habit is to continue kneeling in submission to others then our thoughts of inferiority will continue to manifest as fact until proven otherwise.

Yes, until proven otherwise WE ARE INFERIOR.

shymexx:

Why do you keep spamming everywhere with dailymail? - get a life, mate!

Horus: The fact is that Africans can only rise together. It is important to note that it is in the interest of Asia and the West for us to remain divided because they will retain a massive bargaining power over us. Africa is resource rich and if we worked together, we could form a price fixing cartel like OPEC for all our resources, in the process extracting a bigger portion of value from the global economic system.

pleep: It seems like Africans are naturally unintelligent. What can we do about this?

I'm gonna ignore you and ur daily mail rant...since I do not live in London and have no intention of coming there to ask people their opinion of the paper.

There are laws against plagiarism where I live and I'm obligated to include the source of my story...so, you can go ahead and throw around "spamming everywhere" accusation just to try and derail the topic but I'm just gonna ignore you on this for now.

Does anyone here work for the daily mail?? I don't.

$tunna:

I'm with you on this...! I know some people say just because Africans who tried in the past to come together failed, we should not even bother today...read Shymexx's response to you for confirmation!
Lets just give up, he says, lets not blame China ever, lets blame Africans! ... but could somebody tell Shymexx that there are said to be 64.000.000 such empty luxury units in dozens of ghosts cities in China and 10 Chinese still share a room in Chinese cities because they can not afford those new homes and the Chinese Goverment does not care!

...and no, that is not from the dailymail!

$tunna:

please let's not try and make a Hero out of Gaddafi!!!
he reportedly stole $200 Billion of his people's money...you have any idea where he kept it?!!

Oh I forget...you gonna have us blame his people for being Cowordly and letting him get away with it for so long, right...but then again you blame them or the rest of us for killing him or letting him be killed - so, wither way - you are always right!?! Right? Smh
