When u see a bunch of crabs an open basket in the market, ever wonder how no can manage to escape?? well that is because weneva one is about to reach the top to escape, another will pull it down. this is exactly the way we black folks keep ourselves in this 'basket' of backwardness. we constantly pull each other down, tearing each others destinies with our own hands. we are never together but always apart. white folks defend and stick to each other, so do asian folks but we blacks are out to destroy our own. this is why we are so easily manipulated by the western world. that is why we are always behind and never progressing. our economy is destroyed by corruption due to our own selfishness and greed.

we need to stick together. lets realise that T-E-A-M = TOGETHER EACH ACHIEVES MORE.

i feel u poster

I FEEL YOU GIRL!!!

The more I see people raise this kind of issue, the funnier it gets. . . Simply, who really cares?
Also, what you said about white folks and Asians sticking together and defending each other isn't true.

^^ i think what he is talking about is how most whites/asians dont conspire how to get thier friend fired or break up thier relationship when they are green with envy. something im sure you will admit many nigerians do.

Nigerians learned from watching T.V. Everything in American (the society to look up to) television is drama, and that's how most of the world sees America (through the shows shown on T.V.). Naturally, Nigerians' newly developed instinct to overdo what they've seen, without first understanding it worsens things.

There is something i have once heard:

If a white man sees that his neigbhour has just bought a very nice and expensive car, he will think: "what can I do to be able to drive a car like my neigbhour?"
If a black man sees that his neigbhour hast just bought a very nice and expensive car, he will think: "what can i do to drive my neigbhours car"

i thougth this was very interesting, and although i know that it can not be generalised, i think that there might be just a little truth in there.

Udode:

If a white man sees that his neigbhour has just bought a very nice and expensive car, he will think: "what can I do to be able to drive a car like my neigbhour?"
If a black man sees that his neigbhour hast just bought a very nice and expensive car, he will think: "what can i do to drive my neigbhours car"

Na wa for that analogy but I guess you can read it in more than one way

white people stick to geda in a diff way frm hw we stick togeada, 4 v different reasons with very diff out comes
idea of blck man stckin together, dnt snitch, reason cos black people dnt snitch on them seves, out come gen backwardness n very sluggish progress
white man sticking togeda, the equality bill, reason reduce inequality, outcome progress n fairer distribution of wealth in the community
