gulfer: Even in these uncertain times, great things are coming out of Nigeria.

In as much as I understand your frustration, do you expect the bigger world to take blacks race serious with the high level of poverty and lack of growth on the African continent? I'm not trying to be anti African but raising a reality of what is happening in Africa.
The only solution to ending the stereotype you so despise is looking for how to develop Africa because almost everything we use or learn have been developed by other race. We have to look inward and ask ourself what is the problem with Africa first because getting angry will not solve the problem.

Keneking: Spirit of Okija - You are damn right, the MOD must be racist? Or what do you think, my post was just hidden immediately it was posted. Another losre?

slimming: so 3.9 GPA is a celebration in that university? when lots of people are making 4.5+ in Nigeria without international recognition.

I'm sure dis dude^^ don't knw that the University of Ibadan have a maximum CGPA of 7.0. I'm also sure he doesn't read very well before making inferences. I hope he is able to make a CGPA above 2.0.. That's if he is in school, cos I don't fink has graduated.

That got me LMA0!! BTW: anoda GEJ hater on d prowl~~

Congrats Emma!!
Truly 9gerians are intelligent... Its just dat d system does not bring out the best of our students...

lyfe: This guy would be lost in the crowd if he was in Nigeria. I think the educational system in the US brings out the best in you. Through out my final year as an undergraduate I used candle and light illuminating from my mobile phone to read, the incessant strikes and bad lecturers; that would tell you that you would fail his course at the beginning of his class and only bright student would manage to have C. It's no fun at all schooling in Nigeria.
My only concern for the dude is the Phi Beta group he joined has some elements of occultism.

omenka:
Are you blind or u are just another variant of gudluck jonathan. It says 3.98 out of a possible 4.0 and not 5.0 as we hav in naija. So tell me, between 3.98/4.0 and 3.9/5.0, which is greater?

bezimo: This is coming at a time when the Ibos and yorubas are producing people of excellence, and bringing glory, honour and respect to themselves and the Nation, The Hausas are busy promoting and encouraging terrorism to tear the country apart.Congrats Ohuabunwa.

I am not frustrated at all. Only replied to the observation made by the poster. I have no doubt nor am I pessimistic on the ability of Africans to invent and build things. Africa has always been the cradle of civilization. Egypt is not in Africa by happenstance, it has been there for thousands of years, and if you went to Egypt today, you would see pyramids built with precision, absolute precision, that still baffles a lot of white scientists and engineers today. To top it all up, the builders erected and sculptured monoliths that look like us: Big/full lips, wide nose and prominent head; all these features show they were Africans/Blacks. To get to the spine of my comment, slavery did erase a lot of about who we were; which was the intent of it, and its only question of time, we will be reinventing ourselves as the fathers and mothers of civilization!

You response is similar to the Greeks always reminding us of the ancient civilization they once had. The world have moved far ahead of the ancient Egyptian civilization and the sooner African realise that the better for them. You can be happy that 3,000 years ago Africa was doing well, but in the contemporary world, all those civilizations are a thing of the past and does not add value to the life of a common man.
My point is people are suffering from poverty that is why a greater chunk of the African population is looking for how to leave Africa to other continent. Leave history alone and face the present except you can use the history to improve the life of Africans.

When he grows up, I hope he drops this lame unscientific part of his thinking.



Later, some lunatically western law would say a woman is entitled to half because he made it by being married to her.

When his parents do not even have a right to claim a cent.

bukatyne: some of us believe in the divine intervention of God. He stil speaks to us on a daily basis. ve a nice day

Well in a very basic sense you need to look at the standards we are using to measure things like poverty and development. What are we using to weight our development? Who are we using as an example.

Who standard are we going by with the 4.0 average, who determines how intelligent we are? Who are we (as blacks) competing against?

It's going to be a never ending race if we continue to try and model ourselves on the West.

What Africa needs is it's own identity.

Standing5: Nigerians will always be Nigerians!!! How does a High CGPA solve our problems? A good achievement though but most times these kind of folks don't match result with impact.
