There is no secret about the white man's advancement than being organized. I have been saying it, the day Nigerians learn to be organized the day they start advancing.Indeed, large numbers of black society lacked organizability. 1 Like |

corinna: It is not just nigerians alone. Truth is many black people infact feel inferior to the white race for folowing reasons Blackteeth: Its all about the difference in culture. The white man's culture which involves the zeal to explore, innovate and adventure is what places him where he is today. This culture is been passed from generation to generation. The black man's culture involves very little zeal to innovate, explore, research and learn. If a white boy grows up in a black society he would take up the "uncivilized" African culture. The reverse is also the case when a black boy grows up in a white community. corinna: It is not just nigerians alone.

The reverse is also the case when a black boy grows up in a white community. Best comments so far. We should also note that African, Asians and Native Americans had their great civilizations when caucasians were still living in caves. If we as black Africans wants to move forward in this modern world, we need to embrace and develop our own philosophies to life; abandon extreeme materialism and make education: both formal and informal, part of our nature. If i may add, the Jews have made great contributions to western civilization than most people have observed and they don't consider themselves "white". A lot of inventions and fortune 500 companies were started and still headed by them including your beloved google, facebook, raph lauren , tommy hilfiger, star bucks, major big banks and many others. Jews are also majority of Nobel laurate winners. They control 60% of US senate and a lot of them in the House of Rep. Karl max and many great philosophers that theorized our world and political discourse, many were jewish. Soviet union were arranged and controlled by them. So stop giving the white man more due than he deserves. But i must admit caucasians make hardworking blue collar workers. It is very easy to differentiate between caucasians and jews; their big nose, kinky hair and their brown skin is very telling. LOL. 2 Likes |

@nevderek The post never said whether whites are more technologically advanced but rather why do Nigerians see them as advanced; infering as a race. I for one do not see white people as advanced race, if for anything I see them otherwise. I often marvel why our forefathers had to fall for slavery and colonization. 3 Likes |

Olodostein: I honestly don't know how the Jews do it. They are like 2% of the American population but comprise 48% of American billionaires. Hated and persecuted for 1000's of years but always on top. Always in control. Always 100 steps ahead. Exceedingly cunning and slimy (ha!), but also amazingly smart. Running everything in entertainment, finance, media, politics, business/corporations, economies. Winning all numerous Nobel prizes in hard sciences and arts. SMH I would not even mind it one bit if black people were hated but were running things. How to even start to usurp the world in our favor when we find it hard to even clean house?

Please let's stop assuming that everything that comes from the west was invented by White people. Some of the most important tools in our lives were black inventions but they simply never get publicity because of the racist media we have. Just consider the following 1- Dr Mark Dean is a black man that invented the mordern PC, read more about him http://www.black-inventor.com/Dr-Mark-Dean.asp 2- The Cellular phone was invented by a black man called Henry Sampson 3- Benjamin Benneker was the first person to build a working clock in continental America, also a black man. 4- Elijah McCoy has 57 different US patents for his inventions. Other black inventions in modern times include, the lawn mower, spark plug, refrigerators, elevators and the traffic lights. The first human to build a machine that allows people to fly is a black Arab (Moor) called Ibn Firnas. So those giving credit for our modern tech driven society to the white man are simply ignorant. Again even in Nigeria, most parts of the North don't really see the white man as superior. In some parts, they are even considered somewhat uncultured. 8 Likes |

nnenna.1: You are very informed. Many people still wonder how they do it. What a lot of people don't understand is that the Jews are very natural people. They understand nature and nature is science. A jewish philosopher of mathematics once said that "mathematics is the language God used to define nature". That is one of the reasons they study pure sciences. Because that is how you unlock the secret of nature. They apply these principles to other facets of life. Has it ever occured to you why a jewish psychologist won a nobel price in economics? They came to realize that if you understand human psycology, you will be able to understand the markets. They embrace what other people neglect. They eat natural kosher meals ,yet, they sell junks to the population. They will tell you its business, that if you were smart enough, you should know that organic food is best. That is why people label them greedy and cunny. Centuries of persecution have taught them a lot. They learn from experience and from mistakes civilizations they lived in made and apply it. They learned and understood the principles of money from ancient babylon and still apply till today. They don't value fiat paper money and things other people are crazy about. They value gold and nature. We are in the last phase of human civilization and that is the Green revolution. Africans are also natural and better positioned to take advantage of it. But we will know if we will learn from mistakes of other civilizations or be doomed. Malcolm x jewish employer told him back in 1960's America that if they weren't smart and vigilant, the white man would treat them worse. They get their inspiration from the bible and above all, they are Humble unlike the so called "superior whiteman" most nigerians and blacks worship. 2 Likes |

frankmoney: This stuff is very common in nigeria when people see a white man its like dy have seen an alien & dy treat him as if his special....lol....wonna knw why? But they ARE alien, sort of. It's not about white being superior, it's about them looking completely different. Let me tell you what happens when you take a white man to a remote village in Africa. All the little kids will run after him as he walks on. But if the white man turns around to touch or shake hands with the kids, they all run away. It's all fascination because they look so different. I can remember how shocked I was when I discovered that "redheads" didn't dye their hair orange; that's the natural color! I have seen black hair and white hair. Now orange hair?

Ofcos they are This dumbass statement got four likes! what do mean by the statement in red? Superior in what sense exactly? Is it a natural phenomenon or a result of the blatant lack of equal opportunities/historical occurances. I can't buy into this stereotype abeg. Biologically, no man is superior over another. our experiences, exposure/societal standards is what makes the white man SEEM to be superior. he is not! I must admit that they were able to identify those things they knew would move the world forward, far earlier than people of other races even thought of it. Does that make them superior? I think it depends on the context u use the word. |

Re: Why Do Nigerians Look At White People As Advanced Humans by Nobody: 6:01pm On Jun 29, 2012 |
just read it somewhere ,funny I think but lets look inwards ,whats really wrong Speech made by former South African President P.W. Botha to his Cabinet. This reprint was written by David G. Mailu for the Sunday Times, a South African newspaper, dated August 18, 1985. We are not obliged even the least to try to prove to anybody and to the Blacks that we are superior people. We have demonstrated that to the Blacks in a thousand and one ways. The Republic of South Africa that we know of today has not been created by wishful thinking. We have created it at the expense of intelligence, sweat and blood We do not pretend like other Whites that we like Blacks. The fact that, Blacks look like human beings and act like human beings do not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles simply because they look alike. If God wanted us to be equal to the Blacks, he would have created> us all of a uniform colour and intellect. But he created us differently: Whites, Blacks, Yellow, Rulers and the ruled. Intellectually, we are superior to the Blacks; that has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt over the years. I believe that the Afrikaner is an honest, God fearing person, who has demonstrated practically the right way of being. By now every one of us has seen it practically that the Blacks cannot rule themselves. Give them guns and they will kill each other. They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives and indulging in sex. Let us all accept that the Black man is the symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence. Isn't it plausible? therefore that the White man is created to rule the Black man And here is a creature( black man) that lacks foresight The average Black does not plan his life beyond a year. . LETS US REVIEW DIS AS AN AFRICAN. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO PROVE OURSELVES really wat do you guys think , |

https://www.nairaland.com/856194/why-africans-love-white-people https://www.nairaland.com/972759/why-african-loves-foreigners-hate I made two posts about this. It is mainly due to religion, history, and media. The three main things are religion, media, and history. 1. Religion: When Africans looks at a deity that is white then they feel that god is white. The missionaries know hte original god is Jesus is not white but they still push white Jesus. This makes Africans worship white people subconsciously. Christianity originated from Africa anyway. Isis=Mary Horus-Jesus Ankh=Christ 42 principles of Ma at=10 commandments a set=Mary Magdalene. If Africans knew this then they would probably stop following Christianity. If you can enslave a mind then you can have a slave for a thousand year. Now many Africans are slaves in their mind. There is a facebook page for that as well: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Freedom-From-Mental-Slavery/161399403976816 People always say the race of Jesus doesn't matter, but if it didn't matter then why don't missionaries put Jesus in their original image? TO ENSLAVE THE MIND!!! Read the book Christianity before Christ: http://www.amazon.com/Christianity-Before-Christ-John-Jackson/dp/0910309205 and this book http://www.amazon.com/The-Worlds-Sixteen-Crucified-Saviors/dp/1602062803/ref=pd_sim_b_5 2. Media In Media we always see whites as good and blacks as bad. CNN BBC always portrays Africans badly. Many Africans watch this all the time and get their news from their. They believe everything from CNN even though a lot is BS that is why they justified Gbagbo being overthrown and Gaddaffi dying. Also now with this KONY 2012 thing. Even in Hollywood they show America and Europe and glorify it and they see how great the west is. Then they see how their city is then they say wow whites can build great cites but blacks can't. But the blacks don't know HOW they got all of that. What did they do? They exterminated the Native Americans, they enslaved fellow Africans. They cause many wars around the world to get cheap resources. They fund various African wars. Most Africans don't know this because we are brainwashed 3. History: Some Africans only think that their history is slavery and colonization. They glorify Europe and white people in history and say Africans are less than human. Read the book Miseducation of a negro by Carter Woodson. The educated Africans are taught to despise their own people. My friend went to a Christian school in Nigeria and they taught them Americans and European history instead of African history smh. That is how you make a slave. If you bomb Japan then they can bounce back up. Enslave a mind and they are a slave for life and you make their descendants slaves as well. We must control the media, teach our great history about how western civilization was made by Africans. http://www.amazon.com/Africa-Western-Civilization-African-American-Heritage/dp/0933121253/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1333298517&sr=1-1 We must teach people what these Europeans do behind the scenes and how they do very bad things to get where they are. We must do away with religion and go back to spirituality. Besides the death rituals, spirituality is pretty good. If we must do Christianity then we must only do it with a black Jesus. READ READ READ if you aren't a good reader then watch lectures on youtube. Don't just read TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! We must WAKE UP fast before we get exterminated. 2 Likes |
