Could'nt find the appropriate section for this, so this section will have to do!
The issue is about what i've percieved with Africans or black people in general.

This great lady helps me capture the right words:

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt

I've found this to be so true in almost any fora where black people congregate.

For the average Nigerian, it's about this celebrity this or that, what they wore & how they wore it. It's about their cars, houses etc.

Even with the politicians, the main issue of addressing real concerns of the Nation are always pushed aside and character assasination, mud slinging etc always take center page.

The reason the white man has gone far basically is because ideas take center stage at least for the formative years of their development.

Alas they are also now more into the mundane as well.



If you want to go far, let ideas preoccupy and dominate your mind instead of people and events!


Black man, who shall deliver thee?
