My question is why?

@Igbo2011.

Because the black man has not learnt to genuinely love and respect himself regardless of all the hollow rhetoric he preaches.


Blame American press, blame evil 'whitey', blame the 'illuminati and all but have you even noticed how grown adults speak even on this forum to see that those you portray as angelic victims are also very evil, very prejudiced, highly discriminatory and irredeemably wicked?

Look, if the black adult , who should be able to make conscious and responsible decisions, has not evolved enough to stop deifying others while displaying disdain for himself, by reserving the worst hatred for those of his own colour, what is the point of making excuses for the black man and not accepting that he is his own worst enemy?

We will make all types of pseudo-intellectual submissions but there is never the sort of stark honesty, pragmatism and a readiness for introspection that should lead us to look at our own flaws that makes us do what we do. Those who want to be like others are those who do not love or respect themselves and subconsciously suffer from inferiority complex. Simple.

America is not the only successful country in the world.

Not in history. But in this era, it's been the most successful so far. Even if China's GDP has outstripped that of the US, they have a very long way to go to build the kind of prosperity that the US has achieved in the 20th century.

Anybody who is stuck in the country called Nigeria and remotely believed in the nonsense called One-Nigeria is ravaged by “stockholm syndrome”. By the way, who in his\her right senses would associate with a country Dayolodo calls home?

Sometimes one have to consider cost too. Most times, The America clothes are cheaper than the African made ones.

Take for instance....people buying fairly used clothes with American flag embedded on it,they don't care what's written on it, they just love that they got new clothes. For the African wears, I respect people that wears that often because its very expensive if you want that kinda style.

In summary, Cost should be considered here too.

Which black American businesses are there to bring to Africa? My page Facebook.com/africanedp www.africanedp.com I am trying to unite us together economically.

Majority of the major black enterprises ran in the US are controlled by boule individuals, daghettotymz.com has an exhaustive series going on them, just because something has black american stamped on it doesn't necessarily mean it's good for Africa, there are many of these "successful" blacks in america of the same ilk as their kindred who "govern" Africa.

Not too many militant Nigerians that I know. Most don't know much about Africa, the history, language, or culture. Iti s a damn shame that Africa has a great history but most black people are unaware. I try and tell people about African hisstory on facebook to uplift them. I try and do my 2 cents.

LOL!
I feel you brother.

But the reason Africans are that way is because they have been deliberately miss-educated.

We who are enlightened need to be patient and persistent in re-educating them with the truth.

Go and die in the hell-hole you crawl out of, you sadist! You haven't experienced a good life before and the reason why you want to nuke others for living their lives for good. Please, go and join your Boko Haram brothers in the North and keep messing up the Nigerian image until nemesis will catch up with you.

DSTV is besides the point.

There are a lot of Afro-centric programs on DSTV which are geared towards the African audience, though one may notice that they are structured to fit into a "main stream" western style programming but I don't see anything wrong with that. There will always be an Alpha society that everyone gravitates to. That's just the way it is in the Animal kingdom.

For your information I watch a lot of Africa majic Hausa programming and I don't see anything "American" about that show. It definitely promotes African culture, storylines and the likes.

They are like children,so ignorantly innocent. The reason why they destroy their country is because they don't understand the meaning of patriotism. They don't understand what it means to believe in one's country, to uplift it,defend it and ready to die for it.

That is why are so shamelessly fanatical about European football instead of theirs.

You have spoken as a primitive African. Forgetting to address the infrastructure, technology organized society, civility,etc as important factors.

I am Nigerian but i don't believe that. I wear African clothes all the time, eat African food, have African art, I do tourism in different African countries. I don't have this mindset but most Africans do. I am trying to change it with my site www.africanedp.com facebook.com/africanedp hopefully more people can buy Africa things.

As Agiliti said, we have stockholm syndrome and love of the agresser is very well in our minds.

Why hate on something everyone loves? The whole of Mankind loves America.

First, the Asians travelled from their continent and settled there to become the natives. Then Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci led Europeans there who all became obsessed with the place and millions of them started to migrate through the centuries.
The English, the Irish, Jews and the Chinese.

Apart from our brothers who were taken there by force, I would say we Africans are even behind schedule with our love for America. Why hate on them? Didn't they tell you that's where God resides? You should be happy your black soul is allowed to associate with God.
God bless America!

This us how many Africans think, just like SLAVES!!! Look at this video, this cop killed her 7 year old grand child and he didn't even say sorry. He had no remorse. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1536505043263935&pnref=story

I have come to the conclusion that Africans are the weakest people in the world. You let anyone do whatever they want to you and you smile and love it. We celebrate our oppressors holidays, root for them to win in the World Cup, In Italy they throw banannas at black players and we repay them buy buying Italian clothes and making them more rich. We are a bunch of slaves in our own lands. France is colonizing West Africa and we repay them buy buying French champagne. Germany killed 80,000 Namibian people and we buy German cars. This is why everywhere in the world we are we are not respected.
