all4naija: Good for you! keep praising primitiveness and ignorance. I am not going to be a part of that.

khiaa:
In your opinion tell me, what is beautiful about being white? I don't mean the old cliché that God made us all, I just want to see through your eyes.

chulla12: Honestly? With all of the added bullshit to the already stressful lives we live? No.

If I decide to come back as black - maybe a resident of one of those peaceful island countries.

Not African American or Afro [insert nationality], certainly not African. Yuck at being a Nigerian again.

But I am what I am and I have to make the most of it.

Bunchersstab:

Obi1kenobi:
You're "grateful" because some people in your tribe can perform a tribal dance? Is there any group of humans on earth who don't dance? Seems a rather trivial thing to be "grateful" about. A man from tiny Scotland may be proud that Scotland gave the world the first animal clone, the steam engine, the telephone, radio, the ATM machine, the refrigerator, the flush toilet, the bicycle, radar, penicillin, insulin, anaesthetics, the MRI, the X-ray and ultrasound scanners, the hypodermic syringe, logarithms, football, golf....and good, old, strong, world famous Scottish whisky.

Na you sabi, sha.

koyyes:
Actually, you are the one that is naive. Go and see most areas where americans refer to as getto and the likes. Even an average nigerian can live comfortably with the little infrastructures available. You obviously have no clue about what a poverty stricken african goes through on a daily basis.

Fulaman198:

One should be happy that they have hands to touch, eyes to see, legs to walk and a nose to breathe. These are the bare necessities of life. The true essence of happiness is when you can dance and be happy with whom you are. These beautiful ladies can dance.

Now on a more technological note. Advancing your technologies has nothing to do with ones culture. It has everything to do with a leadership that refuses to advance its technologies. One can simply keep and maintain their cultures (like India did) whilst advancing their technologies. India today has the 3rd largest GDP in the world.

Being a white wannabe/copycat gets one no where. Many Nigerians are simpletons because they lack this awareness. Being a copycat does not make you better, it makes you look like a fool. For one to be truly recognised, they must have leadership qualities. Nigerians must stop looking at themselves as inferior because we are not. We are amongst the most brilliant people in the world. If there is someone you would like to look down on, look down on our disgraceful excuses of leaders. I wish I could talk to them and talk some sense into the foolish leaders we have.

kaybee3: I give up, if you can't see reason with me I see a lot of sense with yours. But my point as never been about if they leave a better life or not and for been delusional I'm far from it.also not only Americans are white as a matter of fact that country is not on the list of country I want to visits any time soon.

And your source of gratitude is the dancing ability of your women?

Okay then. Na you sabi, sha.

Oduduwaboy:
This is a big punch to the face of our black civilization. But seriously, what have we contributed to the advancement of human civilization in the area of science and technology?

Obi1kenobi:
I've long come to the conclusion that people deserve the leaders they get. Our leaders are filth but we've allowed some of the lowest members of society rule us for decades. They reign supreme and act with impunity cos we've proven to be too weak to stand up for ourselves and we cower in fear and submission and even glory in the excesses and corruption of our leaders. Watch some of the Afrocentrists on here bleat about "black power" in one sentence, while defending the scum that rule us and you get the picture. It's our collective failure - a failure of leadership and a failure of the followers and electorate.

Solozzo:

Africans built the pyramids of Egypt, introduced writing, religion, wigs, perfumes and the embalming of corpses

Fulaman198: This thread is a huge disgrace to our ancestors. A lot of you are a complete disgrace to your ancestors and should really think before you post before you make your ancestors cringe at your stupid mindset. Shake off your inferiority complex now before it's too late. Stop disgracing yourselves and act like men or act like proper women.

This all "wanting to be white" needs to stop. All the butt-kissing and low self-esteem is really infuriating and I won't have anything to do with it. The self-depreciation needs to stop. If Axum came in here, he would be laughing at all you losers who are ashamed of what you are.

jopheezy: I better remain in heaven than to come as a black man or worse nigerian

Funjosh:

YES

I dont for once envy the skin of white man abi na chinko skin u want make i choose

Fulaman198:

I hope you do realise that your Nigerian brothers and sisters in England the United States are outdoing those people in academia, but of course you don't know that because you probably never went to school.

Funjosh:

YES

I dont for once envy the skin of white man abi na chinko skin u want make i choose

TeamSimple: Y not,what if by then its the black race that is ontop n we have the whites as d second fiddle..Black man with white man sense that's me.

sexzskil:

I beg to differ that WHITES are superior, infact they are lords of the Black race. Isn't it evident even in nature' face the hard truth, face concrete reality, WHITES are superior to Blacks in every area of existence by billion miles, FACT!!

Orina:
dude black south africans are slaves they are poor, the richest south africans are the whites.

JonBee1: Dear Chineke,

Hope this letter get to you in good time.
Please change this your harsh sun and weather condition in Nigeria (Africa) to that of Europe. It is making our lovely women (and some useless men) blacker. We prefer the climate where the snow falls all year.

Edumare, Please, can you please just make it like the Oyibo own so that we can maintain our light skin.
It's high time you consider creating new model of African women. It is 2014 for Osanobua's sake; we are tired of this old models. Here are few suggestion of the vintage features you can replace in the latest models.

For a start give us lighter skin like Tonto Dike's complexion and a wavy straight hair like Wendy's, maybe an option of blonde like Nicki Minaj if you will. And while you are at it, you can throw in a couple of things like longer eye lashes, talon-like nails, blue-coloured eyes, thinner nose, a hairless eyebrow and so on (you know what now, you know what to add to make us not to look like our ancestor)

Thanks for being the understanding type. One last thing can you give me a foreign accent like those of our Naija OAP, pleaaaaase.
We don't want to sound like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Onyeka Owennu, Oby Ezekwesili; who despite schooling abroad still sound Nigerian (and look African). Tufiakwa!
So help me Ubangidi Amen.


Yours,
A Nigerian girl next door

yim: Yea but as one of those people in High places
