you are just speaking grammar..
Black's are smarter. how come we are still so behind the whites?


Define what you understand to be 'Whites' por favor. Is it just skin deep or does it go way deeper than that? Does the higher IQ levels distribution you claim to be 'White-based' extend itself into mixed race people/Blacks born/bred in those societies? Do you have case studies to butress your claims? Do you consider the Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Emiratis as whites? And would you also care to explain how being a citizen of a 1st world country or a 3rd world one automatically determines how intelligent you'll be?

Was in the bulk room of a first generation bank and crowd was quite bad ( yet they say no money ).There were some igbo men that had come to deposit quite an amount of money and had been conversing loudly in their dialect not caring that they were been a nuisance.
All of a sudden a white man comes in and the teller receives his cash whilst ignoring the hisses and insults of customers.

The igbo men, trust them started insulting the man and went ahead to add more in their dialect,the white man then,calmly turnsto them and responded to them in IGBO language then went on to add a few more sentences... the whole bulk room kept shut out of shock of course.I turned to him in amazement to ask him on how he learnt igbo and he smiled and responded to me fluently in HAUSA.

Apparently, he had been there before every one else but the account number was wrong and he was told he couldnt make calls in the banking hall, he then went out to make a call and wait for the right account number.On his return,hE went straight to the teller as she had assured him that when he returned ,he wouldnt have to join the queue again.The teller should have explained to all instead of ignoring customers.

Any way my point is that these white men are smatter than us, they learn our languages so as to enable themselves settle in and do business whilst most of us go to their countries and come back the same people we were when we left if not worse.

People talk about whites being smarter than the so-called black man, truth of the matter is "our" wisdom is greater than theirs, they were given worldly wisdom and we were given heavenly wisdom which surpasses everything,the foolishness of Yah is greater than the wisdom of the world, nothing can be compared to divine Wisdom.

None of you guys get the Point, the "White man" learnt to speak Hausa and Igbo, albeit Nigerian languages , they're not our Lingua Franca , that's what makes it special. Nigerians in diaspora can speak the languages of the countries they're in , because they don't have a choice.
The white man could have as well decided not to learn igbo or hausa , because English is what he really needs .



How many Nigerians speak other languages apart from theirs?

dearpreye:
OP, the criteria you used to compare the intelligence or smartness between us and the Whites is deeply flawed.

But all those who are arguing and refusing to accept the fact the Whites are smarter than us on the average, are HYPOCRITES.

Who designed the phone your using at the moment? What of the Internet? Let's start from there. OR are these the truly marks of a people's intelligence or smartness?

Do you mind sharing the credible and fact-driven information database where you got your claims from? Are you saying the US is the most intelligent country based on the IQ levels of the average citizen simply because the World wide web was conceived there? Are you saying South Korea, Canada, Finland, Hungary, Germany and other popular phone manufacturing countries are the most intelligent countries in the world? Based on your deductions, should I conclude that the fact that RIM and the Blackberry brand has been decimated by the Samsung and Apple behemoths indicate that South Koreans, the Japanese and the Americans (irrespective of orientation) are more intelligent than Canadians? Please shed more light on these points. I've rarely come across your level of intelligence and I would like to tap from your sea of wisdom.

Whether you like it or not for some reasons God blessed the caucasian race hence the several inventions, medical breakthroughs and discoveries over the centuries, tbey have shaped the world and continue to. Inspite of the african claim to civilization, we couldnt even have a written language in west Africa before they helped us'. Bros no vex but yes them pass us, if not naija wouldn't have been in a mess today. There are so many other countries that were also colonised but are faring well.

What is the big deal? I dont think the Op has stepped out of this country for once..
Wherever you go whether in Germany, France, Spain China and even in Russia you see Nigerians who have lived their a while speaking those languages fluently.
The Op is suffering from acute inferiority complex and tribal hate. I've been in some banking halls where I met some yoruba(women) alhajas chatting away in high decibels not minding other customers around. You should have told your 'smart' story without exposing your hate for Ndigbo.

In terms of learning languages, you can say that they are smarter than the Yorubas and the Hausa. The first thing an Igbo man does in a foreign environment is to learn the language. They sometimes speak better than the natives because they need it for their businesses. You are not entirely right...

So, if he needs to do business in the hinterlands of the North and East, he only needs to speak English. Apparently, YOU don't get it.

Exactly! The Oyinbo in the OP is most likely Pakistani or Lebanese. They plenty well well for Ibadan and many did go to UI. These are businessmen who have been domiciled in Nigeria for long and realize the need to understand the vernaculars. I remember how one of them used to front like he didn't understand Yoruba; he was always listening to conversations and reporting back to management.
