she won Nigeria another gold yesterday , I chat her she confirmed

Yes, Canada is not just taking our young people, they are taking the fattest of our crops, the best, the brightest, and the brainiest!

Not just Canada, but the US, Germany, Ireland, the UK, Australia, etc. But they are not stealing anything. Nigerians worked with the imperialists to enthrone a facist regime with zero knowledge of the economy and zero concern for Nigerians.

What did you think would be the result? We need to stop pretending to ourselves.

The colonialists think ahead of the black man, their subjects. When Obama, Clinton and the UK were helping to topple GEJ in a bloodless regime change in the connivial of Nigerians from the North and South West, you think they hadn't seen this brain drain coming? Germany and Ireland, I am told from very reliable sources, were complaining that the IT industry, which had many Nigerians, had seen Nigerians relocate back to Nigeria leaving their families in Germany and Ireland because of the economic policies of the previous government. The NHS was loosing Drs from Nigeria.

Don't blame the colonialists. This is a capitalist dog-eat-dog system. Blame the Nigerians that helped topple the last government and brought in an inept and clueless and lifeless regime.

Canada is just one country

USA IS using underhand tricks (via scholarships and all) to steal out bright minds too

Australia Is doing same
NZ as well
Even Britain (with our doctors and nurses and IT)

Germany is luring our bright minds with free post graduate education
Even South Africa has critical skills visa too stealing us all...

By time you add the figures for above
And then multiply that figure by 10 years

You will see that Nigeria is doomed to be populated by complete idiots in the next 10 years...

Una never see anything

Mbok, how sure is the bold? And if it's true, why have the colonialists not done same with Malaysia, China, Indonesia or India? Please no conspiracy theories.

It is much easier for neocolonialsm to be implemented in nations where the seminal forces of tribe, ethnicity and religion is more evident and deep-rooted than the other. The divide and rule tactic, as implemented from Rwanda by the retreating Belgians to Nigeria by the British, where the colonialist set a usually weaker and more pliant tribe as rulers over the others, is much easier to successfully implement in Nigeria, than in China, India, Malaysia or Indonesia. You have named countries with large populations and less hetereogentiy of these factors (and there are more than 3 factors) in comparison to Nigeria. 79.8% of Indians practice Hindu; Is it the 1.7% Sikhs or the 2.3% Christians that you want to set up against a United 79.8% Hindu?
Have it evenly distrbuted and it comes quite fertile for the Nigerian situation.

Now there are many books and research papers written on this subject of colonial domination. You should read further if you want to know more.

Gerrard59:

Why you deylaugh lmao
Don't you see it looming in the horiZon?

DexterousOne:


It's not issue of tribe /religion per se

But it's more of ignorance, lack of education and having $hithole mentality

Even homogenous countries in Africa are being screwed over

The leaders of these countries offered up their countries in exchange for a pittance (a false sense of belonging/a seat at the table)

These elite class are just gate keepers
Making sure that their respective countries remain ignorant unexposed and uneducated
So that they continue pillaging

Look at tho sacrilegious deals your leaders are striking with Chinese interests?

madridsta007:


OK.
I have been privileged to have written peer-reviewed academic papers in top quality journals on this. I think I know what I am saying.
But your opinion is duly noted (even though I sense a deviation from the main question you raised. You seemed to have questions on my idea on the roots of imperalism in Africa).

DexterousOne:


I'm not disagreeing with you

I'm just Bringing a different perspective


Heterogeneous and relatively homogeneous countries in Africa are being screwed over

And the common factor between these two sets of countries is the high illiteracy rate, lack of proper exposure and EDUCATION and a mentally defeated bourgeois class often willing to sell their country for a pittance

Maybe you should research from that angle too
Cheers

madridsta007:


Well, Sir, neocolonial intervention first seeks to exploit the gaping holes or the discontinuity in systems- tribes, ethnicity, religion, etc. When it finds a united people, it targets someone in the elites. For example, Blaise Compaore who was Sankara's close friend and eventual murderer. Or a unit of disgruntled elites as was in the case of Lumumba (the Belgians and the CIA) and Nkrumah (recent files shows the CIA involvement. Their argument? Nkrumah was a Communist, of course false!).

[b]High illiteracy rate, lack of education, etc, are only outcomes of neocolonialsm,[/b]nce the Western-backed elites/leaders are in power (this wasn't my focus). This is playing out in Nigeria today.

Thanks, though. It was nice chatting with you!

DexterousOne:



Interesting...

So in the midst of all these
What is the way out?

Tho I don't agree 100 % with the bolded
At what point did we really have a critical mass of well informed and educated people in Africa?

But I get you

Your point valid

salford:

Have you seen how much money these present crop of Senators and HOR members have allocated to themselves as salary, benefits and stipends?. its stomach churning for a 3rd world country. it shows how callous and unrepentant they have become. That is enough to make any one think of leaving the cesspit.
When people protest against the injustices, they get tear gassed or shot by trigger happy mopol or get locked up by the DSS. The easy way out is to leave the country for the elites.
I do not blame those leaving.

Beautyaddy:


buhahahaha!!….Keep up with the wishful thinking. We all know it's the Only way to keep you sane with the current and ongoing insane situations in Nigeria.

firefox4th:

I don't in anyway support the jumbo take-home of our legislators.It's an absurd and labour could have shut the nation in protest for a detour, but what happened ? Labour, instead negotiated for pay rise.You mentioned protest,I hope you're not referring to bring back our girls and revolution now protests.They are borne out of politics. No intelligent people should be part of them.
Meanwhile, why referring to Nigeria as a cesspit ?SMH.

DexterousOne:


It's actually a cesspit

Best decision I ever made in my life was to leave Nigeria. I still get angry once in a while for not leaving earlier sef.
