Let me tell you the truth. When people grade humans around the world, they always consider Black Africans the most inferior race. We are always on the last rung of the ladder. Like you wrote earlier, that's why other races have no regards for Africa. In fact, they had to coin the phrase sub-Sahara Africa so that Arabic countries of North Africa can cut off from us. No, we don't think alike.

Instead of our leaders making efforts to rewrite our lachrymose narrative, they keep stealing the little we have and stashing it away in foreign countries. In the end, they keep proving right those people who consider the coloured man inferior.

Also, Black people are terrible and we always play the victim, forgetting the evil we do unto ourselves is even worse. Senator Ned Nwoko is still wailing that the UK should compensate Africa for colonizing the continent. The British colonized the US, but the US has passed them in all development indices today!

The US is not an accurate comparison seeing as a lot of Americans were former Britons. Just compare Singapore a former colony of the UK that is miles richer than the UK today, and the inhabitants are indigenous people.

In a land were government don't deliver their promises to people, What do you expect

Technology my foot.
If you think the Blackman had any technology donkey years ago,then that's bull shit.
This is a people that even uptill this 2023 believe everything has a supernatural cause.
You die,it's spiritual,you kick a stone,it's not ordinary,an owl flies near your house at night,oh God,this must be your village enemies envious of you because you bought new clothes!

Lol, Nigerians are so funny

And imagine that these set of people make up the majority and they are surprised of where we are today? Keep playing

This thread is funny or sad, which one sef?

To see a people come together with the sole aim of insulting themselves to a stupor, accepting their own inferiority, the lenses from which others see them.

Don't know if I should cry, or feel sorry.

The problem with black is lack of collective will.

The collective will is how wall of Jericho was built. The collective will is let us build a tower that reach heaven. The tower of Babel. Those things are the collective will blacks do not have.

Black people were never organised and never had a written text or history. They tell stories of the past which contradicts one another. Before the white men came they were naked with leaf and hagered looking.

When some of them begins to proper or get rich they oppressed one another and destroy people preserve to have bright star.

The history of the black race is not very interesting or educative like the other race. Modernization is been forced on us as it was never part of us and reasons we are finding it difficult.

Give a black youths big money. He will start throwing it in the air. Party and sex.

Former South Africa Apartheid Leader (P. W. Botha) made a controversial statement about this in the past. Many people condemned him but his narrative is totally valid about Black.

I can also say without a doubt that if most Brazilians didn't have any African origin, there wouldn't be slums/favelas in Brazil. It's so bad that even just having a drop of blackness in you has already corrupted you.

Ask those people in several government houses in the country and the man in Aso Rock.

So we must wait for Government to keep our streets tidy and organized?

You do know that Nairaland is a site, not your life?



Qatar: 1.9 m barrels a day for 1.1 million people
UAE: 2.8m barrels a day for 12 million people
Kuwait: 3million barrels a day for 4.9 million people.
Saudi Arabia : 11million barrels a day for 40 million people


Nigeria: 1.6 million barrels a day for 230 million people.

Any questions?

And my point eventually is oil money is not enough for us. For us to be rich, we have to 1) be an exporter of manufactured goods and services 2) be an exporter of manufactured goods and servicies 3) be an exporter of manufactured goods and servicies 4) have a diversified economy which involves us being....an exporter of manufactured goods and services.

Which is why your governments are bad because...they do not want to go the route of us being a manufacturer of gooods and services. Because they are chosen by people who love imported stuff and don't want to be..(you get it now).




Note that I do not deny embezzeling happens...but if we used oil judiciosuly...at the end we produce the same amount of oil as Libya for a population that is 20 times that of Libya. We produce about half of the oil the UAE produces...and we have a population that is twenty times theirs.

Our leaders are korrupt, I DO NOT DENY THAT...but if they were not, we are still not having enough from oil. That is why we need a leadership that would make us become...an exporter of manufactured goods and services.





Well, most Nigerians are not bus conductors or civil servants or in formal employment, most Nigerians work in the informal sector, and that area is notoriosuly undertaxed.

As at 2019, 30% of Nigerians pay the taxes you just mentioned. 30% of taxable Nigerians. That's not much. Our tax to gdp is even lower than Niger Republic self.

What you see is what you get.






Yes, but when we ask you to join or form a party, you don't have the time...so, I guess the people will keep choosing the bad, until YOU stand up.




Well, if we want to be like the USA...we have to pay taxes like the USA, and like the USA, become an exporter of manufactured goods and services. The oil we have cannot sustain a country of 20 million people, talkless 220million.

Which is why you people should please for God's sake stop voting APC, PDP, LP and company and vote in some new parties.

all what you have been saying is till proving the fact blacks has the worst IQ. If Nigeria were to be a white country it wouldn’t have been where it is today. The development of every country boils than to their IQ. And that’s where collective will comes in. When the majority have a better IQ the country will move forward

nairalanda1:


Now a word on looting. China was a large empire that invaded lots of naitons and looted them. Now, China is peak

Please list the countries China invaded and looted within the past 5,000 years.

If they don't want to be told how to spend their money, they shouldn't complain about the conditions based on their money choices.


What people spend their money on says alot about who they are. The only good looking institutions Nigeria can boast about are lavish churches. That indicates what Nigerians prioritise: greed, fantasies and delusions.

What gender are you?
I'm amazed by your intelligence.

Pansophism:

Ah, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, the Turkhic homelands, and in order to form the chinese empire, a lot of conquest was in order.

But then again....

This is South East Streets… not most Nigerian Streets

Well, there is a simple way Nigeria can become developed

1.We pay more in taxes...like the whites do, which does something important. FORCES US TO HOLD GOVERNMENT TO ACCOUNT.

Like now, if we spent 40%-50% of income on tax, you think that we would let greedy leader loot?

2.We focus on becoming a manufacturing exporter of manufactured goods and servicecs....and it starts by investing more and more in vocational and tech education


We are poor because you guys think our oyel is enough. It isn't.

What are the names of the war or invasion, please?

For example, Hitler's invasion of the USSR was known as Operation Barbarossa. The US invasion of Afghanistan is named Operation Enduring Freedom.

So be specific, please.

You go and find out.

Good afternoon. And no, I am not excusing bad governance, because that's where you are after.

Mindlog:


Nigeria's population is burdensome because it is not productive as it should be and so much wastage in the system.

There are states in Nigeria with population less than 3 million residents and billions of naira passing through their systems daily with intentional leakages and deliberately not exploring their human capital resources by investing intentionally on them because it would impact hard on the amount they want to steal.

Eg: Port Harcourt, Delta, Bayelsa.

Lack of planning and no love for the aesthetics.

owagbeba:


Let’s do a critical analysis why the streets are trashy.

The local government / state government organizes town planning. But here in the Nigeria, individual home owner or builder do the planning. When there is no state involvement, it becomes chaotic. Most of the time the individual home owners or builders move into a new location before government notices, and ignores this new location until it gotten past the critical stage where some semblance of organization can be done.

When this new communities are formed, there is no paved road, no organized trash collection, no sticking to town planning rules because there is no town plan. Wooden stalls built in front of house, open drains and enforcement.

A way out of this apparent disorganized dwelling is the estate approach / gated communities with an estate management body. A body raised from amongst the resident to keep everyone in check.

It’s not about Low IQ as some have suggested. IT IS THE ABSENCE OF GOVERNANCE!
There is no one telling that landlord not to build a stall on the pedestrian foot path. No one is telling POS guy who has erected a shop along the road to quit. No one fined that landlord who projected his roof/zinc beyond the boundary of his land into the street. That Aboki burning wires by the road side to get metals. Or the one herding goats on a street corner. It’s all CHAOS because there is no enforcement, there is no government. Free for all… do as you like! Madness!

its part of the IQ test. There are several white communities without government interference. They are alway more civil and organized that that if a black man. Its part of IQ this topic is all about

stupid tribalist, your destruction is near i assure you.useless black man.

VaselineCrew:
What do you mean you “think” Africans have low IQ?

Don’t you mean the lowest??

Check the chart below

You any anybody with IQ below 70 is basically a retärd right? This is no surprise. Chimpanzees have IQ or around 30-40. Black people are a little over that but not fully human. I wish I could simply die and wake up 1000 years later when the black race has finally evolved.

Blacks man 'Wakanda'

Foolish race.

Raydos:
What is hard in achieving this simple street view??

Even the most overhyped and overpriced places in Abuja/Lagos/Portharcourt/Kano don't look anywhere close to this!!

These are Enviroments one will conveniently and gladly spread ones mat or bed and sleep with two eyes closed

Someone will even Snore

You are spewing nonsense, that is why.

China is a country that only trades and doesn't invade their neighbors. If you believe differently, proof it.

Corrections:



Please stop saying because people don't pay tax is the major cause for this. The billions that Nigeria generates from natural resources how have they the leaders been able to manage them? Is it right for some people to pay taxes only for some other in government to embezzle them and still go with little or no punishment?

the billions of dollars buhari borrowed we are finding it difficult to account for them. It wouldn’t be different from with other resources

sharpwriter:

Yes blacks do fvck ups but to you now, Nigeria is Nigeria àbí? First split Nigeria into its original components before you make your judgement. You can't work using the template and foundation of a slave master and expect success.

You said 60 years? Are you just realizing this? After the so called pseudo independence, the first crack of the faulty and fraudulent foundation began in just 6 years and since that 1966, it has been from one trouble to another and still we all sit by the cracky foundation and crooked built Nigeria and expect to enjoy... Na lie.

In fact, the tears linger on as long as this establishment exists... Una never see anything, una go cry tire.

Do you realize that Africa would have over 5,000 countries if everyone were to have their nations.

tobstarizhia:
The people I pity the most are those IDIOTS who still believe in God. I mean, most of Asia and the West are either Atheist or believe in some other religion aside monotheism abrahamic religion, yet they are miles better than this cess pit. Most of you fools are so brainwashed that you think your suffering is a test by God

Rubbish.

Is religeon the reason why the blackman has Low IQ?

bro, we are the problem! The average Nigerian has low IQ.

The Government isn't doing anything, their foolish followers will praise them to high heavens for squandering their commonwealth.

It is even heart breaking when a good Samaritan volunteers to tar the street, the Baale and his Chiefs will resist it, asking for a bribe first before you can help them.

Are we not mad in this Country?

Reflect7:


NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU WOULD DO.

Other sensible people around the world glorify their history and ancestors except you brainwashed-to-self-loathe, mentally colonised, self-hating buffoons in Nigeria, who believe yourselves to be inferior beings.

All u low IQ blacks ever boast about is history!
What happens now? See how dirty your environments are & all u can boast about is one invisible history? The world is talking about the future, but u people are talking about the past? I sorry for u..

nairalanda1:
Funny thing about this thread is that Nigerians want what the Europeans have without making the sacrifices the Europeans make.

All I know is, if we paid something like N100000 per month in council tax..for everyone earning 200000 per month, you will see nice looking cities in Nigeria. The poor would be more invested in seeing their money is spent right, and the leaders won';t dare steal money.

But it is far easier to engage in self flagellation and call black people dull.

Am out.

Crap.

Ppl like you are the reason we are 3rd world.

nairalanda1:


And the USA looks like that because cities collect TAXES , as does the state and their federal government...at rates we do not do in Nigeria.

The honest thing is, if our cities want to look good, either every resident in a Nigerian city pays a council tax of at least 100000 naira monthly to the city, or we accept what we have, because that is what we get from relying on just one income stream.

& u think the money paid as taxes will be put into use by our corrupt leaders? Lol
What are they doing with the budget allocations? You guys are funny..
