bros if you are smart you would have decoded what was happening. The current nigeria benefits the west and our leaders. So they work in tandem. U think dino melaye will empower his village instead of buying cars He won't because during election he can buy their votes for 1k each. When the west were conquering africa any kingdom those on ground could not beat. The british empire sent naval warships and reinforcements to defeat or make them surrender.

Read this peace by lord lugard. Out of all races the black man is the most back ward. Go to jamiaca or haiti its same story. See what whites did in south africa.


Lord Lugard, the former governor-general of Nigeria, in 1926, wrote his unfiltered thought about Nigerians. From his book, The Dual Mandates, come these excerpts: "In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self-control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.

"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future"

Even in uk, usa , canada indians and chinese are setting up companies to bring their people over. A black man would not do that. So bros we are not smart as a unit. Many voted buhari cos he was a muslim and fulani in the north. But wont vote an intellect like moghalu because he is igbo and has no funds to share. Bros wake up

adonainana:


The whole thing tire me, a country that is not sufficient and needs everything supplied to it, Yet everyone in that country is smart, what about the chinese and the koreans, that have the opposite of all these things in abundance. What should we call them, geniuses

ednut1:
you clearly are not smart. This is my last comment here. I work in the oil and gas sector let me school you small.
1- exon, shell chevron help us drill crude/gas and also steal from it. Their refineries also convert it with crude along with indian refineries ( our refineries were from the french and are dead now). There is no oil in netherland but shell from the same country brings in billions from overseas

2- as we no get light we have to use generators from perkins(UK) and some asians ones- if we had light is there any market for those guys

3- cocoa from west africa is converted into billions of chocolate in the west and asia( if we had chocolate companies here would it benefit west?)

4. All the other things we import nko Does it not benefit them

Be smart bro. U say our leaders shud be smart. So our reps and senators shud make laws that will favour all of us So their 33m salary becomes 2m and the 5.5 billion car doesn't see the light of day. U dull sha

bluefilm:


Have you ever been to Russia, Poland, China and basically any former soviet/communist country where people had to come up with alternative solutions because of bad governance?

Like my mom will normally ask, how can you be in your house and know the prices of good in the market?

Now to the issue at hand concerning the question you raised, majority of the people in those countries you mentioned are not mentally lazy.

I hope I have answered your question?

Potch:


Nigerians are smart but are being led by dull people. From the presidency to the National Assembly, majority are secondary school cert holders. Most smartest people in my set are now in the USA and Canada.

midnighter:


If you say so

I have not, by the way you can find out the prices of goods in the market as long as you have eyes and ears for somebody to tell you!

The fact still remains that comparing Nigeria's situation to that of Russia or Poland or China, is like comparing bread to stone.

Indigenous engineers in those countries are capable enough to build systems that can provide uninterrupted power supply for their countries.

Can you say the same for your country?

PatrickOkunima:


So na you go build road, provide security, etc?

lagdmark:

You missed it totally here. Religion played a major role in the American Revolution
Even till 1976 about 55% Americans were Protestants, 1996 about two-thirds were Christians.
Moral teachings, and civil rights movement, values was based on Christian religion.
Facts is the famous John Havard the founder of Havard College was Pastor.
If you believe religion gave Nigeria her problems, the same Christian religion gave the Western countries her development.

What is wrong with Europe banking system. is there any Africa banking system that beat off Sweden, Luxemburg or Canada?

thebosstrevor:


You write like you own the company you work for because you saw a stock certificate for oil transfer

so it is the international oil company stealing it? always get your facts right

what you wrote down s nothing new, and info you can get on a newspaper..

So how does international trade works? "Mr smart-ass"

you know so much but cant develop your country, you are a damn case study

The more a man beats his chest, the more i know he is bullshit

AntiBrutus:


Lol. I actually find it very demeaning- when guys from Romance section make comments like this (to me) and think it is a compliment or something I should/would appreciate.


Pls, nonsense ends in Romance section. If you think this is my best comment this year, then you need to move around more.

IGBOSON1:


Nigerians are no more criminally inclined than people from more developed countries! However, when a society doesn’t provide avenues for a ambitious and smart people to earn a living legitimately, then they would naturally find other means to survive that may sometimes be unorthodox and unwholesome!

tundeb303:


The leaders and government that are supposed to build roads and provide security, are they not Nigerians?. If they are not smart enough to know and do this, they as well as the people that Voted them into power are one and the same. A congregation of dumb fucktards.

ednut1:
this is my linkedin account. U cant pm lemme send you the link lol. Pointless arguing with people like you. Have you seen a monthly stock certificate for oil transferred to terminals like the bonny one There is s column for theft( by vandals of pipeline) and metering inaccuracies. Na there the real steal dey happen. You move 100k barrells from an oml in delta or rivers . Vandals steal 4000. U record 15000. Meter inaccuracies you record 20000 instead of 5k. Bros you be learner.
You clearly dont know how international trade works. When mugabe took white farms over what happened to his country. Sanctioned and it lead to their doom. Or ask Ghadafi how far too.
I never blamed the west but it is our rulers who make deals with them. West thinks about its people( lived in uk at a point and they give citizens benefits) . Over here our rulers think of them selves and family. Rochas was a billionaire before but still came to loot . Ambassdor oke kept 50m usd raw cash in a ikoyi flat but we have many dilapitaded schools. We are not smart in nigeria bros

ednut1:
the world as you have it today is a western concept. Africa was never meant to be developed . Imagine i need a loan to do poulty gtb would give me at 22%. But in the uk i can get it at 3%. Will ship it to nigeria through cotonou and its still cheaper than the nigerian ones. Corn cannot grow in a desert except there is irrigation in the desert. Government is the irrigation

Blackvic1:
high capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings,and how would leaders have this and still misbehave? An average smart leader puts his subjects or citizens first ie the Emirates of Dubai leader and other leaders of western countries.... Nigerian leaders are too dumb for my liking far from smartness

javaguru:
you beta start believing it

pocohantas:
What Nigerians call smartness, would most times turn out to be total disresgard for the next person, basic etiquette, moral values, laws or rules and regulations.

A Nigerian will drive one way, get to the front- return to the correct lane and feel like a sharp guy.

A Nigerian will jump the queue, luckily they get attended to by whoever after dropping N200. They come back to you that is standing on the queue like a sane human being and tell you that you are not STREET SMART. So, you fit sleep here today o...Truly you might sleep there.


Na this kind smartness we dey exhibit most times. Majority of us are guilty of one or more. Not our fault sha, it is the kind of smartness you need to survive in a third world country, where everything-including the government is working against you.

The people that are BOOK SMART (we call them efiko and even demonise them), we stereotype them as clumsy and timid- NOT STREET SMART. The ones going about their businesses jejely are not left out from the above stereotype.

That is why when we go to countries where normal humans are, we complain it is slow, boring...etc. We have to relearn to live, because we have only been existing/surviving in the jungle we hopped on the plane from.

The answer to your question is called appreciating the fact that there are multiple variables involved in the model.

Are you saying there are no smart and selfish people?

Are you saying there are no smart and unpatriotic people?

Are you saying there are no smart and wicked people?

What is the correlation between mental capacity and altruisim?

missjo:

This is statistically impossible

xerxes456:
what brought about the Hunger? The allies of BIAFRA were not treated as members, rather they were conscripted, their wives and daughters taken as sex slaves and the men sent to the war front, those who saw what was going on had to find a way by working with other allies and enemy to create the backdoor for the fall of BIAFRA, Hunger was a tool, but if the BIAFRANS were wise enough they would have factored it before going into war... To me it was a senseless war born out of personal pride and ambition... if the war had succeeded some member states would be slaves to the majority no doubt, Na Smartness spoil every...

konvict0111:
Statistics don't tell the complete story always, only a fraction of it most times.

In democracy, as practiced in the 3rd world where Nigeria falls into unfortunately, it's possible for dull people to lead a society of many smart people.

First, consider that democracy is about numbers - whoever polled highest at the ballot becomes your leader. Take note that in Nigeria factors such as zoning and tribal sentiments influence choice of candidate.

If you add poverty, thuggery and election rigging, you would just understand how it is a situation that would defy both science and any statistics you can think of.

Ask yourself the question, when have you seen an independent candidate garnering public votes in Nigeria. You either have to come from a family that has had something to do with power both at present or in the past and can only pursue ambition under the auspices of major political party.

I struggle with this irony too, luckily, I don't depend on statistics like you to try to have a good grasp of it.

We need revolution now!
