Truth be told, the people of Southern Nigeria could have made a significant difference in the world.
These people are industrious and highly innovative.
Despite surviving 400 years of slavery and the ongoing imperialism by hausa-fulani, they remain resilient. They developed their region without any government intervention.
Had it been this people are independent, they possibly would have been able to compete with the West block.
I have traveled so many countries, these people are thriving in sports, businesses, entrepreneurship, information and technology.
This is in comparison to the specialists in anti Federal character, anti restructuring, promoter of favourtism and tribalism, who held them back.
My experience in the US show the ibos and Yorubas are up there with the best of the whites.
If the hausa-fulani allow restructuring and true federalism, people will see the difference within 5 to 1o years

Aconomist:
Don't compare yourself to the West. Do you think white people would find themselves ruled by illiterate black cattle herders the way you so-called intelligent Igbo and Yoruba are? no. You are ruled by Fulani because you are inferior to them. There is no place in nature where superior people are ruled by inferiors. They rule you because they have a better and more organized culture while you monkeys couldn't organize yourselves to escape a wet paper bag.

justtoodark:


atleast you were not decimated like native americans....

Leggitsam:

Point of correction. Who amalgamated us with Fulanis?
Who enslaved us for 400 years?
Who taught the Fulanis the concept of imperialism?
Check your fact. Yorubas and ibos are up there with the best of the whites in all fields of endeavour.

engrchykae:
are they humans?
Do they reason?
Now let me show you somethings that will make you see reason with me .
The portuguese do buy 7 able bodied Africans with one horse from subhuman African chiefs.
An African chief who hunts his people and sell them to the slave merchants is a human to you?
We talked about aburi,where confederacy will be practiced,every region will rule themselves and no one will feel cheated,gowon came back and started creating states as if he is dividing his father's estate.
Do you know that the British have to fight the oba of Benin to stop slave trade?
Do you know that if buhari wants to make Nigeria better which is against the interest of the West,atiku will run to the West to seek their support as in the boy is good stuffs.
Do you know that apart from Ethiopians that fought for their Independence after the partition of Africa,the rest especially Nigeria have been an enforcer of the outcome of the Berlin conference?
The war in Congo was fought on behalf of Belgium but led by Nigeria.
The war in liberia was fought on behalf of USA but led by Nigeria.
Nigeria partook in both world wars 1 and 2 but only for British interests not for our own interests.
Why will 3 million biafrans and Nigerian soldiers perish because of British economic interest during the civil war?
Why will Arabs clean out our civilizations from north africa and middleeast if not because we are subhumans.
Where is the wisdom in awolowo being put in jail by tafawa balewa and when tafawa balewa was killed and about to declare oduduwa republic made a u turn and became a finance minister when he can be the president of oodua nation?
Where is our wisdom when the whites brought us God and started buying our idols and satans?

Aconomist:
Dont you know that Seychelles is ruled by Indians and Botswana has a higher unemployment rate than Nigeria?

Aconomist:
The world would be a better place, if the majority of blacks were decimated.

selemempe:
with all the wickedness by the fulanis have they developed past cattle rearing and bush living?

Aconomist:
Don't compare yourself to the West. Do you think white people would find themselves ruled by illiterate black cattle herders the way you so-called intelligent Igbo and Yoruba are? no.

So the North Africans are now white?

wiseone28:
Even if they give u USA budget your leaders will still embezzle it..

They won't still build roads with pavement, underground gutters and walkway.

They will still have slots for employment.

Our problems is not how many country but our mindset.

engrchykae:
you said Asian tigers,why do we have two slavish horses on our flag?
Two slaves hausafulani and Yoruba doing slave work for the Western eagle to feed on?
Thank God IGBOS are leopard

googi:
I am glad the Op wrote Black Nation and not Country.

If you are old enough, in this your lifetime, there is a Nation called Western Region in Nigeria that could rival and exceed the success of any Nation in the world up to early 1970.

Read a bit bro.

Good morning nairalanders
There's this question always bothering my mind maybe because have visited some countries in Asia, Europe and few in Africa
Africa to the world is seen as black continent
But countries like Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt are mostly white and I noticed they are not going through this type of mess like a pure black African countries are experiencing

My curiosity grows when I see how Jamaican lives their life even they are not in Africa but majority of them are people of color and they live in fear and poverty

Some opined that it's as a result of Noah's curse
While some believes that blacks are generally mentally weak of which I won't agree cos a lot of blacks have done greater things in the past and till now

I'll be glad if I could get a meaningful contributions
At least to solve a problem, we need to identify it first

The whites are evil against others, but they love their country. A white will loot and invest in their country,creating jobs. An African will loot and take to the white man.

LeoThaGreat:

Leopard = Àmòtékùn

Seriously though, what Igbo people consider bravery (physical fight like "shoot me, I shoot you" doesn't sit well with me. And here's why:

YOU ARE FIGHTING THE BATTLE ON YOUR TURF !

It irks me when I read that ESN is fighting with Nigerian police or army in Igboland.

USA is currently the strongest country in the world militarily, but she never brings the battle to her doorstep. That is wisdom. USA has "fought" war against Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc, but the "war" never got to their doorstep.

The only three wars I remember that got to USA shook them like kids.
1. The Burning of Washington in 1814 by Britain
2. The bombing of Pearl Harbour by the Japanese
3. September 11, 2001

The Leopard, to me, is likely the most intelligent of all wild cats. The mistake Ojukwu made during the civil war, which I don't think an inexperienced person on military strategy like me can make is no doing enough aerial bombing of the enemy turf.

I don't want to continue saying much here for a certain reason.

Yoruba people say "Ogbón ju agbára lo" (Intelligence is better than strength).
The yawning of a tiger is not as a result of cowardice. Even without shooting one bullet, we Yòrùbás will always overcome our enemies.


I'm dropping my pen here.

Kapeter:
Its abysmal bro. I created this kind of thread some years back, there's no single develop black nation in the who wide world bro. There's only South Africa and we all know that is due to the fact that there's minority white which was trying to do exactly same thing they did in Australia and New zealand hence the reason for the quick development in SA. I think a black man is someway without vision and self centred. Blacks can't do nothing just by themselves. Just absolutely nothing.

engrchykae:
BIAFRA has what it takes to prove you wrong
But globally there is a conspiracy against blacks.
Economically and politically
By Asians and Europeans.

wiseone28:
Which of the igbo States is developed with it small resources?

You guys will migrate and leave ur biafra empty..

When a child is brilliant u will know from first grade.. Biafra won't even be better than Somalia

Princewill1:
The Black race is largely intellectually inferior when compared with other races.

Few blacks with higher IQ are disproportionately lower in numbers to cause a significant change.

To build wealth in black countries you need the following:

1. Population Control:
Resources are generally scarce while people abound. For example, Qatar produces almost the same barrel of oil per day with Nigeria. Qatar population is 2.8millions while Nigeria is 200million+. You can't compare a family of 3 with $1k income and a family of 20 with the same $1k income. We need to put an eye on the population if we want to build wealth and raise standard of living.

2. Value Creation:
This doesn't need much explanation. If black countries want riches, they need to create values which they will sell to the aside world for foreign exchange. Japan has little or no natural resources, just empty lands with perennial earthquake. But they're among the top wealthiest countries in the world today thanks to 'Value Creation'.

3. Prudent Management Of Resources:
Just like in business, if you fails to manage your country appropriately, you will end up broke and poor. Black countries are badly managed by greedy and unqualified misfits. Countries should be run just like business where you employ the best hands to do the job.

Unfortunately most black countries ain't doing the above owing to the "dumbness" of their citizenry who are docile and unperturbed.

there comes a time and this is the time you must assert your animal instinct.
You know a lot about history therefore I will use history to discuss with you.
When the egyptians lost their military prowess,the Hyksos overran Egypt until ahmose came on board and brought in military reforms and in the next battle of kadesh,he expulsed the Hyksos from Egypt.
The israelites never made the mistake of losing military aggression till date.
The Greeks came to power when they were militant but when the Greeks started debating and philosophizing,the aggressive Romans overthrew the educated Greeks.
When the now secured Romans felt easy,rugged and militant barbarians brought Rome down.
Yoruba are counting on diplomacy while fulanis are all over the Southwest blackmailing yoruba leaders with political ambitions.
THE ONLY REASON NON VIOLENCE HAD WORKED FOR YORUBA SINCE 1967 IS BECAUSE OF THE IGBO.
the igbo have shown disdain for Nigeria so it makes sense for fulanis to calm down whenever it has to do with Yoruba their only lifeline to Nigeria.
Assuming igbo leaves Nigeria today,will non violence still work for the yoruba?
Back to your question about ojukwu fighting in his turf,ojukwu is no fool,he knew the involvement of the western bbc and cnn in the media propaganda against biafra,they were already painting ojukwu as Hitler,if he now invades another region,they will tag him Africa Hitler,when he made the Lagos attempt,the yoruba media mischievously claimed that ojukwu wants to conquer the Yoruba even though banjo was leading the mission.
We had to fight on our turf.
I heard some YORUBAS ran to Benin republic,so much for non violence.
There is a time we call a spade what it is.
What yoruba nation is exhibiting is pure cowardice.

samuelpeters:
Much have been said here;
I have asked myself and others around me. Most times, they end up putting all the blames on the whites. If that is the case, what were our ancestors doing when these whites came and conquered them.

Blacks should stop blaming others and face their problems squarely. Greed and incompetence/mediocrity is our problem. When we get it right, other things will fall into place. Whites can never do that for us. We only need to up our game. Asians were seen as nothing but they got their shit together and today, they are respected.

It is quite funny when you discover that Nigeria is the most successful black nation on earth. Then imagine other nations. It's not about Africa!
Jamaica and Haiti are in the same continent with USA and Canada but look at them.

If we don't get our shit together, the whites and asians will continue to exploit us until we are useless even as slaves.
