18 Great German Values Nigerians & Africans Can Emulate To Be Top by Ade3000yrs(m): 1:15am On May 28, 2016
Without racial sentiments or cultural bias parameters, we must examine and horn the historical significance of the rich Dutch cultural insights and what makes them exceptional from the rest of the world.
As we speak, German or Dutch is the official franco phone of the European Union as it is widely spoken world wide and by all the European Countries. German language is second to English language world wide.

Unlike the French, Portuguese, Spanish, Americans, Russians, Japanese, China and the British, The Dutch has a long standing history for mobility and results as inclined to its intellectual nobility and laurels in the pact of philosophy, sociology, politics and science. The brazen strategy to frustrate and unsit the Roman provincial power and consuls to deter further Roman expansion and exploitation of Europe. With 9 Nobel Laureate in its portfolio and a handful stocks of philosophers such as Arthur Schopenhauer, Karl Max, Friedrich Engels, Max Webber, Emilie Durkheim, and Scientist such as Alexander Von Humboldt, Johannes Gutenberg, Hans Geiger, Konrad Zuse, Daniel Gariel Farenheit, Wilhelm Rontgen, David Hilbert, Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, The German maintains a parlance of exuberant civility. Perhaps the best country before the war mongrel perpetrated themselves into power. For the recon I must say that Germans are peace loving and people but at a time the larger stocks were polluted by the Nazi in the ambiguous struggle for superiority of race.
At time Japan, Germany and Italy declared war on the world it was as if it was Germany against the rest of the world. The German people has never claimed inclusion by self will in the war but it was a selfish fronts of an Orangutan Power crazed Adolf Hitler at war against the world. He wanted more land and felt he never had enough so he shelved due procedure and resolved it was best to grab what belongs to others instead of asking to be granted.

The 1940 Blitzkrieg Strategy employed to ransack & humble the rest of Europe demonstrated the momentum and deadly pound of the Juggernaut. The Germans pride herself in her Rich Prussian history and not the Adolf Hitler antisemitic and avaricious vindictiveness meted on the 6 million Jews in concentration camps with acid bath & nerve gas out of the 9 million Jewish population that existed on earth as at the time of the 1939-1945 second world war onslaught. With about 300 million Dutch speaking people scattered all over the world with 100 million in Germany, 100 million in the USA, 10 million in Brazil, 6 million in Canada, 6 million in Argentina, 3 million in South Africa, 3 million in France, 3 million in Australia, 12 million in Russia, 400 thousand in Kazakhstan, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Paraguy, Surunam, Chile, Spain, Portugal, Namibia, Madagascar, Hungary, Venezuela, Romania, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Finland, and Estonia, Netherlands, Republic of Ireland, the economic power of the Deutsche is vast. The modeled subject examined here is her efficiency and not the chaos caused in her Sovereignty boarders and Colonial shores.
With the German bank playing a participatory role in economic and industrial investment and development, every one on earth who is a student of history understand what the word Germans stand for, not rebellion, not masochistic nor megalomaniac streaks but efficiency.
Just as the recently concluded 8th of July 2014 FIFA world cup Brazil versus Germany that ended 1-7 in the favour of Germany was no coincidence, so is the German dexterity in other gainful human ventures.
The dutch has the power of the Sphinx that rises from the ash and makes something out of Nothing. This inherent culture and enviable feature, I expect Nigerians to emulate. If the Germans could come out of rubble and pile of dust in 1945 to become the center and the European frontier and sit of economic power today, I believe We Nigerians can do the same.
I compiled this write up to depict the Dutch cultural and moral values for Nigerians and the rest of the African countries to wake up and light a fire in our behind.
Here are a few German and Dutch Cultural Orientations that makes the Germans & Dutch top of every venture & reasons for their efficiency boast from which you can draw strength and reflections: 1. All beginnings are hard, 2. He who rest grows rusty. 3. The devils favourite piece of furniture is the long bench {Procrastination}, 4. "Practice is what makes a master," Mastery is hard to attain. It takes continuous honing of your skills to get realy good at something. To attain high level of proficiency, u must practice, innovate or you loose been number one in your field. 5. Only the strongest survive. 6. Starting is easy, persistent is an art. 7. failure makes smart, Ever tried, Ever failed. No matter, try again, fail again, fail better By Samuel Beckett. 8. the cheapest is always the most expensive, invest in quality and never take little things for granted, 9. You don't see the forest for all the trees. Success & failures mks us vulnerable to fate's whims & sets in frustration easily, 10. First think, then act. 11. Don't worry about eggs that haven't been laid yet, 12. Crooked logs also make straight fires; The perfect is d enemy of good. A lot of people wait for d elusive perfect moment that may never come, when d stars align & everything falls into place. Life don't work like that, "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. By Theodore Roosevelt, 13. You have to take things the way they come, 14. Employ an adaptive mindset and take life as it is, not as it should be, 15. The morning hour has gold in its mouth, 16. Actions speaks louder than words, 17. Yourself is the man, Yourself is the woman, If you want something done, do it yourself, 18. He who chases two rabbits at once will catch none.
As individual, let's save each other the adjulation of a future nobody can predict. Nigeria and Africa is going through a developmental phase. It is true that we want Miracle overnight for which almost every advantage puts us at the spot light of disappointments.
The rest of the developed countries with which we compare Nigeria also had their darkest nights of thick socio economic tumult as far back 300 to 416 years ago. Till today, these acclaimed and admired countries still have their peculiar problems and challenges that if meted on Nigerians and Africans will sink our economy completely, and our fall, pain and agony will be astronomically sharp and sour.
For me, I still consider Nigeria and the rest of the Africa countries as virgin and green horn in the eye and in the light of truth, conscience and knowledge.
So that we don't rescind into becoming an inexperienced powerful child with a nuclear war head that can consume the world in its darkest hour like the Waring Post Soviet States of Abkhazia and Georgia, Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan along with Armenia, Novorossiya and Ukraine, South Ossetia and Georgia, Transnistria and Moldova, Gagauzia and Moldova, Chenchen of Ichskeria and Russia.
Let's not separate the heart from our bosom chest in a jolly experiment. Amorously, So that our 40 days journey does not become a 40 years extensional Exodus like the people of Israelites, Only the lazy and the weak amongst us expect the hocus pocus in one night. Only talkers but unfortunately, 365 days of lip service don't build bridges and sky scrapers. Let's demonstrate shrewdness and caution the way we futherly tear down our father and motherland for others to join in the crow feast. Instead be an agent of Change just like the German spirit from the moment of the Zero hour.
like I always say, Nigeria and Africa is a very beautiful land enriched with multi cultural diversity which is an enviable blessing. let's not allow people to bad mouth us out of envy and without knowing what it takes to be an African.
Promise Land is not America, its not Europe, its not Asia, Australasia nor Mecca nor Jerusalem, Rome nor Israel but a state of mind.
Those who don't know your struggle can never know your pain. Stop complaining, start doing something. Imbibe the German spirit of efficiency. Been focused on the efforts of politicians as your GPS or Compass to chart your course is potent enough to make you a candidate of doom and acrimoniously an embittered critics. You may never learn to stand straight nor see anything straight. Politics has been long before Emperor Julius Caesar from between the 100BC to 44BC whom at the Pinnacle of Nobility met his bitter endings in the hands of his ingratified childhood friends and embittered fellow Senates by the Name Brutus & Cassius. Octavious succeeded Julius Ceasar after the deposition of Mark Anthony & Cleopatra and yet his shrewdness gave earned him the revered title Augustus. Politics will continue to exist centuries and thousands of years when you are gone so keep your pedagogy at a close tune.
Just as was Napoleon Bonaparte the revolutionary 1769-1821, Carl Von Clausewitz 1780-1831, Miyamoto Musashi 1584-1645, Tai Kung 400BC, Niccolo Machiavelli 1521, Thucydides 400 BC to 455BC, The Odyssey, Honor Circa 900BC, The I Ching, China Circa 800BC and Xenophones all kept their cool with their time.
Only do your best and leave the rest that is not within your power and capacity for other concerned persons to do. We must remember as a people that in this world we are not alone; That is our pain, fame and joy are discretely shared. The Germans today have learnt the lessons of the disease of war and socio economic instability thats why they hold themselves accountable of what becomes of their tomorrow. As Africa and Nigerians, its our turn to do the same.
We need to make decisions of our own and and buttress it with action like the Germans and not just talk.
