smoothsk: Once we eradicate the crab mentality and try to support our brothers when achieving instead of hating and beefing.

When we purge ourselves from the master(white), slave(blacks) slave orientation. The day we finally know that whatever we become is up to us because it is a choice whether to fail or to succeed.... Then there will indeed be black supremacy.

ReubenAbati:


This is one of the problem with blacks. At 28 (or probably 29) you still dey take selfie share for Nairaland.

neohitler:
So much freedom for a n!gga. I'm done talking with a trash like you.but before I go I have some banana for you.come and have some don't be shy you little monkey.

all4naija: I don't have time for sentimental sympathy. I believe in actions which would move Africa forward and they have to come through sacrifices.

You are another shallow minded individual who cannot reason beyond things which don't work. Keep dreaming along the line of hating on other when you can even create anything to do that. Get organized, dude! You are annoying!

neohitler:
I'm sorry man.

mrtruth:
Hahahahaaa! What can be more true? This episode says it ALL about the black man's heart. So jealous and callous. Don't mind him my brother. You fine jare

logica: With a name like Daniel Michael, no wonder logic is foreign to you. You mentioned football; the same football that a black man is considered the greatest of all time? Entertainment? Michael Jackson? Of all things you tried to use as example of white domination, you actually decided to single out the human endeavors which blacks have actually dominated.

all4naija: You are a living proof to what I said. You've just shown it in your effing post.

mickyarams:


You just hit the nail on the head. Our problem is greed, white people take advantage of that greed to gain access to our natural resources. Unfortunately our youths are too tribalistic to realise this and it will remain like this for a long time judging by the comments I read on African forums on a daily basis.

smoothsk:

Organised Dude you lack manners you don't have to be rude to proove a point (stupid point though).
Kindly answer these questions:

1. What are the things that don't work?
2. What are the actions you believe will move the black race forward?
3. Guess blacks having the crab mentality is cool abi?

Try and read through my post again guess you can read?

On a final note you do not know me so why the insult, there are more sane ways of passing forward a point without being a slow poke. By the way how old are you? Am sure you are not yet an adult or probably u suffering from low self esteem your post definitely reeks of that...!

HARDDON:

it's all a state of the mind: for as he thinketh in his mind, so he is!

i know alot of dark skinned folks who rose above the stigmatization and all that the african skin affords, to the pinnacles of sumbline career.

I know alota african folks who are helping out the western world, u become what u think about most times.

think poverty, and poverty would follow u. apply your heart to how u can be at the very prime, nothing can stop u.

Africa needs to wake up from its mental slavery and taste the royal coffee, tis latter than she thinks!

U were born an eagle Oh mother AFRICA! arise and soar and stop living like a chick!

TheMasterpiece: Hello, you copied Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo's book, "What is wrong with being black?" verbatim and you failed to acknowledge him in your post? You are asking what is wrong with being black, meanwhile you're appropriating someone's work as yours? Seun , Mukina2 , Obinoscopy , this is plagiarism and shouldn't be encouraged.

donnypool:

Op you are totally wrong in some aspect, economic wise Black countries are poor but mentally body is equal, there is no curse anywhere, its not due to slavery or any other thing, but it is due to greed. The mind of an average African mind is filled with greed, the average African man want to be better than the rest, so therefore he careless to provide jobs just so that the man he tagged poor will not be richer than himself tomorrow. Dangote is a billionaire, but what has he done to help Nigeria?, Abacha stole billions, where did he keep the money? James Ibori went and bought estate in UK with investment, why didn't he build the estate here?

I don't blame our leaders but even the people ain't good either. Blacks are succeeding every where in different countries but the ones in the black govern countries are suffering. Go to Winnipeg Alberta Canada and see how those greedy leaders spend money on their Kids?, you will broke into tears.

My friend, the problem with Black African's is greed..

tonychristopher:

then what do we do

tonychristopher:

I know that and I know I should have referred him are we looking at the content or whom is copied

donnypool:

we can start by thinking about what we can do to help the society.

tonychristopher:

I will give u an example of how a black man mind work
.look at in no son car they call it Igbo made . this is Nigeria


I was in an organization my boss saw how I was bringing deals to the firm he got so jealous that he regretted hiring an igbo man that he just fired me.

instead of asking me how I was doing it he just fired me..this is the classic of black mind

I was in a bar one day I was just talking with a so called educated Nigerian I was like we can produce transformers that we don't need to import it...the guy told me that if we ban importation of transformer that igbos will start producing it ...that it will benefit igbos . I look at the guy and just gave up on them

I won't call the tribe in southern Nigeria that said this. it will be troublous and tribal so we cant just move on

look at us today
.we are just a shame as a nation

Malakh: Define Black then we can talk

saxywale: negroid

logica: I can see the reason you were fired right there in your post. It has to do with your communication skills. Of course sarcasm is a foreign concept to you; and you have a hard time reading subtle communication and body language.

donnypool:

Bro, you are correct, i have seen it happen too. Nigeria can be over populated without growth. with what you just said i'll recommend giving igbo their biafra and lets see how they will develop.

mayoroflag: Basically selfish leadership and lack of alignment between the interest of the elites and that of the masses...

tonychristopher:

it has nothing to do with been sarcastic what we should understand is that blacks feel intimidated by progress

they were dealing with individuals I employ a different strategy and started dealing with organizations ..this made my output to quadruple but he won't understudy buy jealous

now you have shown that tendency here. instead of tackling the issue you brought sarcasm here. I am not been sacarstic I am a man that call a spade a spade not a shovel

my wife has experienced this also ...I have notices that some set of people in Nigeria are just OK with complacency and docility

the black man will always dance party and not think...this is the problem

communication skills isn't a requirement where I was working but productivity

many people are more of liars and term it communication skills ....you will see an office instead of focusing on productivity you see people focusing on eye service

to be blunt there are some certain people I just can't work with due to inherent traits in them ....from experience and others experience ....

I have those that abhor competition and love quota system

I am a believer that competition brings the best out of an individual ...but Herr you see hate

look at the country today they are bombing and killing themselves for the singular fact that a man from minority is the president. .instead of supporting him they will try to pull him down

just despicable

fightforchange1:

no different from any other group of people capable of attaining a lot of things wealth prosperity just as much as anybody else. this thread is kind of cool but also kind of weird at the same time because I get a category to make the sky looks like because of our skin color are features that we aren't able or unable to to prosper or to obtain happiness or obtain well I think it's kind of silly.

I have a such an respect for a blacks and I feel like they make me proud with everything that they do I just know and learn about the culture just give me a sense of pride and give me a sense of confidence I feel like I like can accomplished anything so looking at the coach is essential to my life because it gives me a sense of confidence it will help me fulfill everything all my goals in my life I don't help me obtain anything I want to possibly do so learning the culture is essential to me to my life.
