A similar thread was open five years back ago and people made some serious points would love a refresher and oh I know some of you disagree so for those that disagree you will have to mention one race Black's are more successful than fair?

By unsuccessful I bet you mean this ....

1. Why are Africans the underpaid casual labourers in mining companies owned by Europeans and Americans in their own land?

2. Why is it that only Europeans are mining our oil, gold, silver, diamonds, they don't pay tax or engage invalve the real land owners of those minerals in their profits?

3. Why are foreign investors transferring profits gotten from lucrative African companies to tax havens and getting away with it?

4. Why are there so many trade restrictions for Export of African manufactured goods while European, American goods are unrestricted as to what and how much gets dumped on Africa - including actual trash from their dumpsites.

5. Why is it easier for African countries to trade with their colonial masters (mostly importation for Africa) than it is for Africans to trade with each other?

6. Why will the west insist on buying only raw products from Africa while at the same time sell us their finished products?


7. Lastly, ask Mugabe what it costs for a country to try to change the world economic order by displacing the Europeans from their place at the top of the pyramid in African counties. Its called sanctions and embargoes. Enough to keep any other African leaders with similar ideas in their place.

horsepower101:
Me personally I don't know about other Africans but I know that igbos in particular if given a nation of their own will develop rapidly like Japan and Korea did. They have the potential to do that but unfortunately they are surrounded by people that want them to fail and remain subjugated.

Actually Ibos are even worse. If you look at human civilizations, the key to progress is stepping down individual desires for community or social goals. This is how to build great empires and organizations. China is 1.5 billion people but they have succeeded because they had people able to work in hostels, for low wages for many years.
In Europe , they had people able to sacrifice for their kings and queens in Spain, Portugal, England to do extensive voyages to Africa and America's to look for raw materials.
In all cases LACK OF SELFISHNESS and BROAD VISION seems to be the answer.

How many ethnic groups are in Switzerland? Is it a poor country like Nigeria?




Let us stop making excuses for our failures.
Did anyone stop Benue, Ekiti etc from making Anti-Grazing laws?
Did anyone stop the 36 state governors when they sued the federal government of Ebola Owu over the SOvereign Wealth Fund?
Does anyone stop you from petitioning your councillor, state honourable, senator, representative to address issues of concern in your area?
Has anyone stopped you from joining a political party and volunteering your money, time and talents for identifying and supporting more useful candidates?

Are you kidding me? Do you know the ethnic composition of Belgium and Switzerland compared to Nigeria? There are just 4 ethnic groups in Switzerland, and the largest are the Germans who makeup 66 percent of the country's population. Can you compare such with Nigeria? In Nigeria, we have three majority ethnic groups!!! Isn't that madness? In order to make it seem like we have a major ethnic group, the Northerners created "Hausa-fulani".
Make una dey deceive una selves about fake unity

During the era Mansa Musa a Kanuri did pilgrimage to Mecca, the world was spell bound at the opulence and learning.He passed through parts of Chad and Sudan that must have been distant outposts of his empire. We need to accept that Africa was developing large, homogeneous sustainable civilizations at one time. The question is what happened?.
I would say lack of higher doctrine beyond self, sentimental attachment to clan, laziness and restriction of knowledge flow.
If you have any of these characters as a person or people you are not going anywhere.

'Obviously', you may be thinking, 'the contributor, Litmus, states African nations may be backward because they are aping the West but doing so badly, who does not know or argue this at one time or another?'

Well, don't be so fast, I'm in principle declaring something different than may at first seem. It begins with recalling that the piper not only plays the tune but at first selects and then later interprets it. Here's an example, take Britain, X-(to some extent)-colonial power, X-empire power and near fundamentalist-level advocate for the implantation of Democratic values throughout the realm (for the sake of argument). What if I told you that Britain is not in fact a Democracy, in the conventional sense, but a One Party State that rules Britain by derivative of a tripartite philosophy, namely Conservatism, Socialism and Liberalism? This came about because of realising early that it is nearly impossible to literally implement democracy – as African and many third world nations ignorantly attempt – because true Democracy leads to instability and anarchy.

Chew on this for a time and the truth will dawn on you but I'll continue later for the sake of those for whom it does not.

How many African leaders have transformed their country to a 1st world nation??

The exaltation, adulation, devotion, immortalization, beautification, deification and domination of Self interest is the only problem of the Africans... Take Nigeria for instance; Self interest was the reason for the slave trade, the reason for the West riot, the reason for the Aba women riots, the reason for the first military coup, the reason for the successive coups, the reason for the first civilian war, the reason for the monumental and dumdfounding levels of corruption today, the reason for the death of tertiary education, the reason for the teeming mass of the unemployed despite the growing number of jobs, the reason for BSc graduates taking up routine jobs that SSCE holders can effectively handle, the reason MSc holders are applying for NPOWER...

The white man does what's best for himself and his country...the black man does what's best for himself alone, every other person can go and die!

I believe u laughed at urself after typing this trash? Switzerland actually has 4 ethnic groups while only 6% of their entire population accounts for 'others'(minorities). Nigeria on the other hands has 3 major ethnic groups and over 200 minorities. The minority groups in Nigeria collectively outnumber the 3 majorities.

Do you think on a good day the US, EU and Russia will sit down and watch China rise to become a world power strong enough to pose a technological, economic, social and diplomatic threat to these advanced nations. Guy, power is not given to anyone...power is taken and the Chinese rose from obscurity to seize international political, economic and social domination by sheer SELFLESSNESS!

If the Biafrans had the stuff of greatness in them, by now their rich elite would have rallied the human and non-human resources towards making their nation great irrespective of the assistance or distractions from the federal government. Will the federal government stop you from making roads? Will the federal government stop you guys from building formidable tertiary institutions? Will the federal government stop you guys from building strong alliances with advanced nations? Will the federal government stop you from pursuing socio-economic development? The answer to these questions is NO! What actually stops Biafra from being the Biafra that can formidably demand for secession from Nigeria is the same thing that plagues Africa as a whole and it is THE DEIFICATION OF SELF INTEREST.

Ignoramus! 66 percent of swiss are ethnically Germans( also known as Swiss Germans), while the other three( Italians, French, and another) makeup 35 percent.
It is ludicrous to compare the ethnic composition of Switzerland to that of Nigeria.
In Nigeria you have three majority ethnic groups while Switzerland has only one! That is madness! And you wonder why your country has failed in every aspect? Even China and Russian are not as diverse as your failed "nation".

You are wrong and Horsepower101 is right for the following reasons.


All those things you mentioned, will there be built using words or cash.

If cash, who controls the resources in Biafra land.?


So in the end, the FG is a major impediment to the resources that can build such society we desire.


The only options left are:

to establish Biafra's Research & Development Society that will fast track the Development, Industrialization & Commercialization of marketable agricultural & technological products.

or

Restore the independence of the Biafrans.

Nigeria did not fail cos of diversities but the type of government we practise which is supposed to be federalism( unfortunately, it's not what we're practising ).
Indonesia has over 300 ethnic groups and also practise 'federalism' unlike our own federalism and they're progressing big time!

1.Inability to plan
2. Inability to organise society around principles of justice and equity
3. Inability to learn, adapt and borrow knowledge
4. Inability to reason
5. Inability to research
6. Lack of courage
7. Inability to confront nature without resorting to mystical bul.lshit
8. Inability to appreciate technology, it's too much work joor. No worry I go carry the load for my head when I tire I go carry am for my shoulder. Which one be wheel and carriage and horse abi which one be steam engine?

9. Inability to read, write and measure. Too much work.

10. Inability to evolve political systems from backward ones to modern ones, except forced by Westerners

11. Inability to evolve religion and spirituality as knowledge grows. All the popular religions of the world from Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam to Christianity have undergone several changes under different sects and leaders. Old beliefs and ways were successfully questioned and challenged by more enlightened thinkers who went ahead to institute reforms. African spiritual cum religious leaders would rather the earth burn than change one little way of doing anything. The thought of having a sect teaching a reformed version of the same religion is an abomination.

12. Inability to document and share knowledge. The African mind has not even began to contemplate the benefits of documenting knowledge or sharing knowledge (that's assuming they have any). It is simply too much work to write the smallest stuff down and archive it safely for retrieval later.

13. Inability to appreciate beauty and aesthetics. This should probably be the one and only reason Africans are backward. Take a walk to the nearest Mercedes Benz car shop and do a tour of the brand new cars, take a good look at care, attention and expertise that went into crafting such machines. Now think of medical equipment, industrial equipment, the WC etc.
To the African mind, it is simply toooo much work to build something like a car, with an AC, GPS, keyless starter, luxurious interior and all that jazz.
For wetin? Na house?
Guess who the biggest buyers are?

14. Inability to plan towns and cities and run them effectively.
If you doubt me, take a walk to Aba, Warri or one of the slums in Lagos. The only country still running it's economy on generators. Where pipeborn potable water is a luxury. Where good roads are celebrated. Where national airports still have power cut at any moment without notice and smells of liquid and solid waste still ooze out from public conveniences.


15. Lack of a liberal mindset. The typical African mind does want his neighbour to succeed, even when he's not contributing a dime to the success. A tendency to sabotage and blackmail each other for absolutely no reason other than the realization the their neighbours efforts might pay off.


16. Lack of empathy. Africans don't care. No they don't. It all about today, my stomach, my pocket and me and mine. The next door neighbour and his family or village can burn to ashes for all he cares. Africans love pain and suffering. They gravitate and attach themselves to things that bring and increase pain and suffering. They cannot mentally relate to a world where there is less pain and suffering for him AND his neighbour. The idea of doing anything to reduce the pain or suffering of his neighbour is a very very strange concept to Africans. Such altruism is a concept Africans still cannot understand nor relate to.

17. Inability to reason.
18. Inability to reason.
19. Inability to reason.
20. Inability to reason.


Now, these factors are not exclusive to Africans as we all know Westerners are the most evil and murderous people on the planet going by all they've done over the past 600 to 900 years. But still with all of that, their superior application of technology, political organization and dedication to research has seen them transform any land they invade and colonize into first world countries.
Africans on the other hand can't even imitate all they've seen the Westerners do. Its too much work for them.

I laugh again at your reasoning. Enugu has coal, wasting away like every other resource! What have you guys done with it. Biafra is waiting for the federal government to tap it and make a fortune out of it. Whereas South Africa supplies over 40000 MW of electricity from coal. Phillip Emeagwali has a Nobel prize in super computing but it seems we only know of the contributions of Wole Soyinka...

You Biafrans are the problem of Biafra. A child cannot break off from the influence of the powerful only an empowered adult can! Shouting and yelling Biafra or death will not make the federal government back-off...If Biafran economic, intellectual and political elite come together and plan the growth and development of Biafra with the human and material resources at your disposal the federal government will be forced to come to the negotiating table...

The father of a betrothed girl cannot ask for a worthy bride price if the girl in question is a cheap LovePeddler...if Biafra becomes a political, economic and social might today its words would be few and its decisions respected...I say again THE DEIFICATION OF SELF INTEREST is the key problem of Igbos as it was the problem of the Jews (your brothers) in the wilderness of Kadesh Barnea!

Three! What are there names? Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo. Just two years ago, when some guy began agitating to leave Nigeria,some people berated them. Tell me, how has Nigeria improve since then? How has light improve? Oh! I forgot. It is still erratic. Road nko? It get worse everyday. Health care system nko? Education system? Teachers still go strick. Compare Nigeria of 2005 with Nigeria of today and tell what has improved. This is how we can know how Nigeria will look like in 2050.

The House of Windsor is the royal house of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. The dynasty is of German paternal descent and was originally a branch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, itself derived from the House of Wettin, and it succeeded the House of Hanover as monarchs in the British Empire following the death of Queen Victoria, wife of Albert, Prince Consort. The houses of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Windsor have provided five British monarchs to date, including four kings and the present queen, Elizabeth II.

The name was changed from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English Windsor in 1917 because of anti-German sentiment in the British Empire during World War I.[1] During the reign of the Windsors, major changes took place in British society.

Bro, I mean no offense and if you are offended by my remarks I apologize for that...my point is, humans everywhere are capable of doing the IMPOSSIBLE if only SELF INTEREST, though in existence, is made a slave to COLLECTIVE INTEREST! All perfectly functioning social systems are anchored on each participant or actor being driven PRIMARILY by the INTERESTS of the SYSTEM and not SELF INTEREST.

In an age of archaic technology people gathered to make a name for themselves and attempted to build a structure that would reach the sky. Their oneness was so strong and their resolve so resolute that even GOD felt challenged (Genesis 11;1-6)...I admire the abilities of the Igbo man, just as I do any Nigerian, but I still say that if the Igbos can make COLLECTIVE INTEREST rule over SELF INTEREST there is nothing they cannot achieve...

I believe the Igbos can be a world power if only they can kill SELF INTEREST and ENTHRONE COLLECTIVE INTEREST...

Well the Asians knew where the word capitalism came from and realized how deadly it could be for welfare and overall development...so they thought it wise to build an economic system that extracts the benefits of capitalism while entrenching the tenets of nationalism. No wonder the Asians are so smart...they do not copy like the idiots of Africa that lift western models hook, line and sinker!
