Read through the op's lines you walking dunce. He's calling you an inferior being before your eyes and coating it with nice words. Use your brain here or get lost. Nobody has the right to come in here making racist remarks against Africans even in the guise of 'caring'.

MIND YOU I AM BLACK AND AFRICAN SO I THINK YOU CAN SWEEP THIS UNDER THE CARPET WITH THE NORMAL GRA GRA OF AFRICAN MAN...THE AFRICAN MAN IS ALL BRAWNS BUT LESS BRAINS...THAT IS WHY YOU SEE AFRICAN WINING ATHLETICS AND TRACK/FIELD EVENTS BUT YOU WILL SEE NO WORLD CHAMPION OF AFRICAN ORIGIN IN INTELLECTUALLY TASKING SPORTS LIKE CHESS...I GUESS YOU DONT EVEN KNOW THE BASIC MOVES OF CHESS



This is an intellectual discuss and it calls for self appraisal...what do you mean been inferior, are we not acting inferior, where you disperage your fellow african product and run to buy western second hard goods, is it not infirior, where somebody loots and take the money to one western country to hide and the countries uses the money for developement is it not infirior thinking, what do you say when african men like abalak and others make scientific breakthrough yet the same african men will kill is, is it not infiror thinking, where a man as arich as dangote will be in region that have 90% poverty and illiteracy in north without building one university as it is done in Asia ...what do you call that smartness


Thank lord for Western benevolence, that is why some people are still wearing okirika...the earlier we change our mindset the better. if calling you a RACIST and INFERIOR will make us change so be it...we are too petty and tokenism


the poorest country in WESTERN HEMISPHERE IS HAITI..GUESS WHAT IT IS DOMINATED BY BLACKS AND JUST LIKE AFRICA

Seriously, you have serious issues. You are simply reading too much into what is a daring post. How about you think of the post critically without getting emotional or defensive. I will rather we tackle the issues at hand rather than get defensive. If China could do it why can't we turn our fortunes around?
No. We do not join in discussions about Africa with racists. In a proper forum the op would be banned and thrown out for racist comments. But here, anything goes. Rubbish.

PLEASE NAME HIM....I MEAN NOBEL PRIZE WINNER IN SCIENCE LIKE PHYSICS,CHEMISTRY ASTRONOMY NOT ONE WRITING DRAMA OR NOBEL PRIZE IN PEACE



DO YOU KNOW THAT

A large literature in economics and political science has developed to explain this “resource curse,” and civil-society groups (such as Revenue Watch and the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative) have been established to try to counter it. Three of the curse’s economic ingredients are well known:

Resource-rich countries tend to have strong currencies, which impede other exports;
Because resource extraction often entails little job creation, unemployment rises;
Volatile resource prices cause growth to be unstable, aided by international banks that rush in when commodity prices are high and rush out in the downturns (reflecting the time-honored principle that bankers lend only to those who do not need their money).
Moreover, resource-rich countries often do not pursue sustainable growth strategies. They fail to recognize that if they do not reinvest their resource wealth into productive investments above ground, they are actually becoming poorer. Political dysfunction exacerbates the problem, as conflict over access to resource rents gives rise to corrupt and undemocratic governments.





A teacher of history while teaching on class distinction said, "the rich need the poor in order to be rich" and then proceeded to say that "Africa does not deserve to be rich and neither do Africans". You can know one thing, this old man that fought with my African people, laid down his own life to fight for our freedom was not happy about such teaching in a school. As I said to our people all before as there is a GOD, only bad people teach the wrong things through. Truth is change happens from you, just because you are not taught it right does not mean you need to move the same evils through. That when you do see from history, they have been robbed, enslaved, tortured, the worst kind of human atrocities done to them for what reason? That same has been done too many different races through leaders who believe they are just some supreme dictators over others’ lives.



I REFUSE TO ADMIT THIS NOTION ABOUT AFRICA AND THIS MUST BE COLLECTIVE EFFORT

How is it that Africa is so rich in resources and yet so poor? The question is often asked as much by Africans interested in altering the continent’s fortunes as by those intent on blaming Africans alone for the paradox. We write about this from time to time, either directly or indirectly—our most recent article on the subject appeared just a week ago—and many others do the same, but it’s easier for people to blame it all on Africans because that absolves everyone else of any responsibility.



The question of how Africa can be so rich in resources yet so poor—relative to the other continents—is also central to the impressive 55 minute documentary Stealing Africa by Danish filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen.

In the documentary, Christoffer Guldbrandsen reveals how one Swiss company, Glencore, is making billions from copper mining in Zambia while the country remains one of the poorest in the world. You won’t be surprised to learn that the IMF and World Bank were involved in the sale of the mines that led to this situation. When are African nations going to stop taking advice from these organizations? The neoliberal policies they “recommend” have been disastrous for Africa and for developing nations around the world, resulting in the continuous transfer of wealth from the south to the north. You can read more about this here Impoverishing a Continent, here How the IMF, World Bank and Structural Adjustment Program destroyed Africa, and here Globalization 101: Why is the IMF controversial? The IMF has even tried pushing its policies on China.

Glencore makes so much money from copper mining in Zambia that the mayor of the village in which the company is registered can’t spend all the money the company contributes to the public coffers. Meanwhile 70 per cent of Zambia’s population live on less than $2.00 a day and 80 per cent are unemployed.

Seriously, I am tired of the whole situation. The main reason I even give a fvck is because of the poor people I see any time I am in naija. It's an hopeless situation with a downward snowball effect. Just secure your future and that of your family so that when the inevitable bad times comes, you can go and live in any developed countries of your choice. It's funny how the few that are better off are the ones who cares about the country, while the poor ones are blinded and brainwashed with hatred, tribalism, short sightedness, religious intolerance etc.

there you go again speaking nonsense just like gentiles that spent their time questioning god
If you are a real xtian, you should listen to our Lord Jesus Christ and stop worrying about making your life better
Jesus said In Mathew 6:25 - 34,

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.


Now, who should I listen to? You Jesus?

How can buhari beg the west to assist them to quash BOKO boys ....did China beg west ?

I think the earlier we start believing in our capacity and capabilities the best for us



There isn't one particular problem with Africa, rather there are multiple deadly problems that are with Africa.
The west is just a single problem, and the reason they have gotten this far in ruining Africa is because our leaders are not pratiotic.
You need to know since when these western powers have been taunting us, its a shame when you hear that Ajaokuta is being hindered by external forces to achieve its full potentials.
If our leaders were to be patriotic Ajaokuta would have transformed Nigeria in the infrastuctural sector since when its commentment.
Ask yourself, is there is a nation that is modernised without steel?

Another Problem is Most African citizens aren't aware of the fact that their leaders deserve to serve them and not vice versa.

Another are the constitutions that allow Nigerian lawmakers make away with so much unimaginable fortune monthly while their people lavishly spend abject poverty.

Another is the inability of Africans to think and be innovative!
We need to sit down and plan for the future, but can we when we didn't plan for the present?
I mean who should start producing, we should start making industries that can compete globaly.
We should move more to science!


And there are so many more like corruption,selfishness, greed among africans.
Its goes on and on and on

Just imagine that lovely Nigeria, that sweet Nigeria that country who used to be a laughing stock now a world power!
Think of we leading the entire black race!
Think of we teaching the world!
I think my Igbo producers should be dominating the world trade globally!
I wish my Odua people to build,make,invent for the world to copy!
My Huasa family should feed the entire planet!
Then think about the green passport, imagine the glory it would represent for as many as they that hold it.
You see its that easy so far we can kick out these problems
Trust me the so called whites are superior because they adopted science.
Africa will change for the better only if we do so.



Oh and yeah we must LOVE ourselves if we are to reach anywhere.
The first rule is LOVE if only we love ourselves, then we can attain that beautiful Nigeria!

How

i think the black mans problem is congenital...you just said ALL that is in my mind about the continent especially our mumu country nigeria..a country where a governor borrows money for the state and then steals the money in return..a country where we cant generate substantial electricity for the masses because a few black fools want to make gains by all means..the problem is there are greedy persons in the western world,but they would never let there greed make their people suffer..an average white man would do anything to make sure his country is up and standing,...i tell you my brother,just leave the USA to be inhabited by blacks alone and you would see the madness that will ensue..BLACKS NEED TO GET THEIR ACTS RIGHT AND DO THE RIGHT THING SO THAT WE CAN BE EMANCIPATED FROM THE HANDS OF FOOLISHNESS AND RETROGRESSION..
