I have never seen a people who rep a foreign country more than their own country. In Nigeria i always see people wear American flag clothes. I have never seen an American wear any African flag clothing. I have also seen black people wearing polos with Japan, Germany or America. What is wrong with us? America enslaved Africans for 300 years, why do you love them so much? They still neocolonize us too. Why do we admire our oppressors so much? Even African artists have their videos in Europe South Africa or America. They also flash the American dollar too. Also try and wearing American clothing. My question is why?

ever heard of stockholm syndrome?

This inferiority is not limited to Nigerians but it's worse with us. How do you blame us when we're a people that are constantly reminded that anything that comes from obodo America is the best and should be emulated.

I am Nigerian but i don't believe that. I wear African clothes all the time, eat African food, have African art, I do tourism in different African countries. I don't have this mindset but most Africans do. I am trying to change it with my site www.africanedp.com facebook.com/africanedp hopefully more people can buy Africa things.

As Agiliti said, we have stockholm syndrome and love of the agresser is very well in our minds.

There are very few people like you and it's good that you've taken it upon yourself to change the mindset of Africans.

Maybe you should stop using the language of the oppressor and type in Igbo. Or stop using the internet , Watching TV, opening a website, using facebook etc

Since they are all inventions of the Americans/Whites

There's nothing wrong with using inventions made for mankind but always use it to project your own heritage. This is a no brainer. use your brain.

cus d white r god

Not peculiar to only Africans. When I was in the middle east, I noticed the same thing. If not for religion, most of the youths there prefer to dress like Jay-Z, 50 cent et al, and they love when you speak with the American accent. I also noticed the same thing when I was in Thailand too.
The US has the most influential media and entertainment industry in the world. Hollywood, Pòrn Valley, CNN, FOX, Times, Hip Hop, Facebook, Twitter, Google. . . Sometimes you can't help but believe in the illuminati conspiracy.

I hate when people say that. How about whites stop using math, science, architecture, philsophy, and physics since Africans invente it. THe anceint Egyptians taught and civilized the Ancient Greeks. Africans civilized the world.

You are genetically senseless the OP is criticising people for wearing American made clothes why not reject every American invention

dayokanu:

You see why i said that you'll be of greater use being a capenter. There's a difference between producing something and inventing something. The OP wasn't really even talking about production but about the content of the production. Isn't it better to have "African" written on your shirt than have "American" written on it even though you're not the latter.

igbo2011: . Also try and wearing American clothing. My question is why?

You see when people call you daft its not like they are abusing you, they are just defining your state of mind.

I know say you be dropout but ask people wey sabi read to translate for you

You're a very shallow person. Wearing American clothing doesn't necessarily mean a clothe made in America but a clothe that has African content.

^^ You are too daft to be writing on a public forum without supervision

Try get a brain or ask someone with a brain to help you out

the op has his own personal issues with America and he should deal with it personally.

This was the same folk that asked us not to vote Obama. lol.

Yes Africans love America. The land of the free.

I am not a dropout just because I made one mistake doesn't mean anything.

I have two brains. The one inside my head and the toy one i bought to lend out to mentally impoverished individuals like you. Do you care?

He's referring to imperialism and nothing else. Let's focus on that.

Look at the way the American media portrays Africa. Look at how they enslaved us. How England olonized us. Look at how Belgium raped and cut off hte hands of Africans. Why would you love people who have done so much harm to you? It is stockholm syndrome.

Also Obama has a very aggressive foreign policy against Africa. He is going to put troops in Africa next year. Do you still love him?

I bet that America would go to war with Nigeria and kill 10 million and Nigerians would still worship them. Our mindset is messed up.

Dem ask "Which kain vegetable you dey sell" He responds "I didnt get mine from the dunghill"

Why are you being overtly defensive no be only you be dropout, Afam sef follow So you are in good company

Are you serious? You get 2 brains? Dropout. Better go attend to customer and sell your "markate"

My markate is online. What do you do for a living apart from being jobless ?

Your oga put you for shop in Alaba you no face markate, Na Nairaland you siddon put. Dropout. You wan dropout for Oga shop too?

igbo2011: why?

because those who built the Foundations of America, set it upon the Doctrines of God.... Plus, America is a Prophesy in the scripture (though not Mentioned by Name), but surely a Nation that was spoken of, to spring up during the times of Great Trials and Challenges! America is both The Good, The Bad and The Very, Very Urgly!

Dayo guy has been tearing this omo Igbo apart intellectually since 1967

America is heaven to them. They go as far as clinging to plane wheels so that they can go to oyibo land. Crossing the sahara on foot and floating in deadly boats in open seas hoping to reach oyibo and. All is true but I don't know the reason. I can't help you.

Most people want to be associated with success (America).

Very few want to be associated with failure (most of Africa).

ekt_bear: Most people want to be associated with success (America).

Africa has had some of the most civilized and best empires this world has EVER seen. Kemet, Kush, Nubia, Benin, Nri, Songhai, Mali, Monotopia, etc. We were doing amazing things and we civilized the world. Africans have been successful in the past. So why not associate success with Africans?

I hate when people derail thread that will make for good intellectual discourse.

I can't by any stretch of the imagination fathom why this Dayokanu of a guy have to sneak "ibo" into this. Is it primordial or something?

It's a pathetic waste of intellect when bigotry overrides common sense.
