oil producing nation, Africans and underdeveloped countries will continue to use fuel cars for another 300 years. only the develop world and countries that has no fuel but electricity would want to switch. although this will affect oil sales to about 50%. |

IamaNigerianGuy: I now see why you disagree with the article I shared some time ago. Political correctness. There's simply no nice and gentle way of telling people they're ignorant and wallow in intellectual squalor. Just look at the quality of news/discussion in Naija social media, the sort of shallow [sexual] jokes that gets Nigerians laughing on Twitter and Instagram, the constant use of "African culture" [which is nothing but ignorance and anti-intellectualism dressed in 'iro and buba' of culture] to oppose learning, liberalism and development etc etc. If we don't face facts and work hard to gain proper scientific and political knowledge, we will never develop. 1 Like 1 Share |

Exciton:I didn't like the article also, but for the reason that the writer was just zig zagging round the whole issue without structure, the writer should spend a few weeks on the economist or WaPo and see how lengthy articles can be written in style. |
Re: NIO Launches ES8 All-Electric SUV That Cost Half The Price Of Tesla's Model X by Exciton(m): 5:36pm On Dec 23, 2017 |
EZEIGBO1OFIMO: Okay, to be clear, you didn't like the article for the writing style but not for the uncomfortable truths: that cultures aren't equal - some are more advanced and better than others, colonialism was inevitable because of the huge gap in complexity of our cultures with respect to theirs, most African countries shouldn't have had independence that early until a good number of people were educated enough for democracy to work properly etc. |
Re: NIO Launches ES8 All-Electric SUV That Cost Half The Price Of Tesla's Model X by EZEIGBO1OFIMO: 5:44pm On Dec 23, 2017 |
Exciton:Yeah, just the writing style made me iffy. Honestly I still think even if they stayed up until the 21st century, nothing would have changed either. Our historical timeline obviously did not show any signs of cerebral or mental positive evolution. While the world went through the dark ages, Renaissance, enlightenment; somehow we were very content with the Grinding stone, which we used for a f*cking millennia. Our ancestors didn't question the status quo, they never wandered outside in curiosity, they were just content with eating, marrying and increasing the population faster than one another. |
Re: NIO Launches ES8 All-Electric SUV That Cost Half The Price Of Tesla's Model X by Exciton(m): 6:06pm On Dec 23, 2017 |
EZEIGBO1OFIMO: I think you implicitly exaggerate the extent of the level of our (and other sub-saharan) civilization as at the time of contact. Apart from the nothern empires (Sokoto and Bornu-Kanemi due to trade with arabs), we were at the level of subsistence economy, not even large scale agrarian, zero concept of wages nor knowledge of the wheel, no written language etc just as the article said. Till date, I don't think yoruba has up to 5 words for colors... that's how bad it is. There's simply no way we could have gone through all those stages (dark ages, Renaissance etc) in such a short time (100-200 years) without their help. We weren't ready when they left. I think we could have improved if they stayed. I think the reason we have remained backward is cultural. I think we are now stuck in survival mode and there's so much emphasis on making money to get by so we have no time to be curious and explore the world around us. Our culture might have fully evolved if we mingled much longer with them (assuming no apartheid, but that's not a guarantee because they weren't as morally superior as they were technically advanced). |
Re: NIO Launches ES8 All-Electric SUV That Cost Half The Price Of Tesla's Model X by EZEIGBO1OFIMO: 6:18pm On Dec 23, 2017 |
Exciton:True, but I don't think survival mode has inhibited any curiosity; amongst out elite who have gone to schools I'm western societies, hardly do we see any who had science lab in their garages, rapid self development in tech (e.g palmer luckey et al), go on into the hard sciences and at least do one awesome thing with daddy's money; instead a large portion of them have become regular rehab Tennant's and prefer to wallow In self deceit in shyte like African leaders training etc. if those with the money, western exposure, and training in the best places in the world that have given us Nobel prize aficionados and Silicon valley giants, can't at least do something useful, then the problem is neither culture nor survival mode. |

Exciton: You have made an amazing and baffling leap of logic. The articles are different. One has nothing to do with the other |
Re: NIO Launches ES8 All-Electric SUV That Cost Half The Price Of Tesla's Model X by Exciton(m): 6:36pm On Dec 23, 2017 |
IamaNigerianGuy: How so? I remember, among other things, you claimed the writer was racist because of facts that an average white liberal would not openly admit due to the need for political correctness. |
Re: NIO Launches ES8 All-Electric SUV That Cost Half The Price Of Tesla's Model X by Exciton(m): 6:48pm On Dec 23, 2017 |
EZEIGBO1OFIMO: As you said, elites with access to wealth and good education. Only a tiny percentage of the people would ever develop an interest in the hard sciences not to speak of being so good at it as to invent stuff. Not hard to see why none of the Elite's kids have gone on to become inventors. The very few who manage to become really good never come back to Nigeria anyways. However, of late, I have become very interested in the history of high level science education in the colonial times to have a fuller picture but there's hardly any information available. I know the indians + pakistani, Japanese and chinese already had knowledge of hardcore modern math and physics pre-1960 thanks to the British. The question is: what sort of education we're we getting during the colonial period? Modified: I see what you mean and I need to re-package my argument or someone improves upon what I've said otherwise, the only option left is that the deficiency is intinsic and I can't accept that! 1 Like |
Re: NIO Launches ES8 All-Electric SUV That Cost Half The Price Of Tesla's Model X by EZEIGBO1OFIMO: 7:03pm On Dec 23, 2017 |
Exciton:a lot of biographies and pre-civil war writings shows that a lot of Nigerians drifted more towards the arts and humanities, the few in the sciences were almost all gone by the end of babangida's SAP. A simple example, that I want to give is the International Mathematics Olympiad; save for south Africa and North Africa that fields white contestants, No african country has won a single medal except for Nigeria's not so deserved bronze medal in '11(dude answered only one question, the easiest). These students are supposedly picked through rigorous competition and are given hard core math drills, yet for some reason they are never able to answer one single question at the IMO. The situation becomes worse in the international Physics Olympiad where all the African contestants routinely score zero. Same story in the ICho, The informatics Olympiad. The situation is aptly described in Feynman's memoir when he visited Brazil and complained that not a single person was learning science there even though they excelled in class. The average African, save for a few like you , have not and will never know the joys of science. it's somehow not just in most of us. |
