If you have a disability, you are the one with such. Not me an you, you twaat! Nothing is wrong with me. I have schooled and lived with these people and beat them silly in different fields. My only daughter is biracial and the smartest in her classes. Nothing wrong with the black man or his color or continent. We are just going through a rough period which has been very tough because we haven't been able to chase out charlatans from positions of power! Simple. I am soooo tired of characters like you and your deluge of outbursts riddled with all sorts of inferiority complex! In that Asia, there are countries like Laos, Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, sirilanka etc that are as poor as Mali or Cameroon. In Africa, the southern and eastern African countries are picking up rapidly. China was so bad the people used ordinary grasses for vegetables Les than 5 decades ago. They have fixed that.. we will fix ours at some point when people like you stop electing buffoons like Buhari as president!
Once again; you are the one with disability not Africans! Thank you!!
Hello sir, I'll agree to disagree , it seems a lot of africans don't think and we should not measure our progress with failures. Thats what we do when we boast as giant of Africa yet we don't have ordinary 15hours of electricity. Just imagine me software developer I'm waiting for our turn to have light before I could write software. And fuel is now expensive .
This country is killing many brilliant mind but many dumb youth seriously supporting greedy politians . I believe this has to do with some kind of disability from African mentality. This inferiority complexity is a disorder that might not be easily cured.
Let me use this as example , I've been trying to explain to my friend that its inferiority complex that make people see light skin as fresh and looking good but dark skin as a problem.

I'm many areas of our life we act like we aren't irrational thinkers, even google confirms that majority Nigerians suffers from schizophrenia

when only their defense budget alone can fund Nigerian budget 2 years none stop...

Lol. If you are born in Nigeria and you grew up in her, aged and die within her without ever travelling out to a developed country, you don't deserve to go to hell. Nigeria is a dead contraption below the developmental level of a good number of even other African countries. No roads, pipeborne water, electricity or even security. No sane person will visit any of these developed countries and return to Nigeria to still support the type of politics happening therein. Anyone who does so is a thief.
Do you know most car drivers in developed countries rarely use there car horns? The reason is traffic lights are top notch and most people on wheels follow the rules of driving. The result is very low noise pollution and sanity. Less aggression and mental stress. Not like in Nigeria with noise and insults all over.
You need to visit any developed country for even a month before you die. After that, Nigeria will disgust you.

I don’t think it’s fair to generalize like I did but with Africans and the current look of things it’s fair statistics.
When it comes to advancement Africans (black Americans included) in general are spectators, you might think you’re at par with the top races to that I say congratulations sir.. whatever achievement a black person gets in the next 30yrs it’s old news in the Asian and white community. A&W community also have losers, they are just like any group of people a small amount of winners and a whole lot of losers..

If you blame the government always where are the good people in Nigeria the ones that won’t include vices in governance, i will tell you they don’t exist in Africa we don’t have them. Every politician comes from the African community what we see is our best , the best we have the best we deserve and the best we recieve... Personally I don’t believe there’s hope for Africa, Nigeria especially, our leaders got the worst lecture during colonialism that was all about stealing and exploitation, so you can’t expect them do anything worthy that what the British taught them... and that’s what the politician are teaching their henchmen and lackeys ...

My problem with what you guys are saying is that you have refused to do a more critical analysis of the situation. You will rather whimsically pin the whole mess we found ourselves in, totally to our color. It's very wrong! I gave you some Asian examples for a reason. Basically I need you all to know tht countries like Bhutan and Mongolia tht have common boundaries with China are comparatively poor. North Korea and south Korea are of the same ethnicity. Yet the south is waxing strong while the north struggles.., can't even feed. Same in South America. There are communities in China tht are so poor, you will think you are in Africa. What's my point? Everything is all about good leadership, good education, good organization and every society in the world are INHERENTLY CAPABLE of these. It all boils down to good governance/international alliances/good leaders. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR SKIN COLOR! Culture?

You talked about blacks and inferiority complex in thier relationship to the white guy! You are right there. That exists! It's a product of the Masters-servants relationship we have had with them white for almost 500 years! From slave trade to colonialism to imperialsim. Those did some violence on our culture/confidence! Obvious! But we are not the only ones with these regrettable hangovers... The Chinese word for America is "Mei Guo", meaning "beutiful country/people"! I mean, just as you will say 'I want to go to America'... The Chinese will say'i want to go to the beutiful country', when they want to go to America! Their gals will kill to date a Caucasian... is there any bigger example of feeling inferior before another country? Yet the Chinese have been able to pilot their development to compete with the Americans! How? Good-steady-patriotic leadership! Nothing else! Get yourself a bunch of good leaders for a long period of time to pilot the affairs of Nigeria and this embarrassing country may start to compete.

No, it isn't ignorance at Neptune's level. Bigsarah is right, there is something fundamentally wrong with the black man. It is no happenstance that there is not a single prosperous black nation on earth. The black race is a very wicked and envious race. The most we care about is seeing our neighbours suffer. Wickedness and greed. No love whatsoever.

Go read how China came out of poverty, when the system was created to pull millions out of poverty, everyone made it a point to ensure it succeeded. Whenever a person was lagging, the community came together to pull that one person up. Think of a single place in Nigeria where this is happening? None!

When politicians come out to seek office, instead of the electorate asking what does your manifesto contain, we dwell on siphoning money out of them. In the end, we can't hold politicians accountable.

You spoke of removing tribalism, ethnicity and other vices to allow Nigeria grow. When there is no love, how can we forge a common ground to achieve anything.

When you try to make Nigeria work in your own little way, you're singled out and bullied. You become the evil one in the crowd. Recently even Dr Joe Abah, said he has tried. When his children asks, he will say he tried.

Look at successful nations, the patriotism, kindness and love they show to their nation. Americans are the most proud people of consuming locally produced but in Nigeria, we detest our own, political leaders want us to consume made in Nigeria while they consume foreign made. No patriotism or love for nation.

We believe corruption is Nigeria's problem but it is only a symptom of the underlying wickedness and greed.

This is the problem of the black race in it's entirety. African Americans cry a lot about marginalisation but they deserve every ounce of the oppression given to them because they are also a wicked race who look down on their own kind from other parts of the world. Even a child born in USA to immigrant parents believe they are superior and should have nothing to do with new immigrants from same country.

I could go on and on. Bigsarah was right, the black race is disabled.

Read the book and exorcise yourself of some of these self-depreciating beliefs. Like I told you before, no superior humans! Just societies with more organized cultural outlooks skewed towards acheiving societal goals. Lee told a story in that book of how the government then had to try to stop their people from going up the newly built high rise apartments with their pigs! Remember Singapore was more of a desolate fishing port before him! Folks were so basic with their lifestyle then they wanted to rear their pigs in the new skyscrapers!

But he pesevered! Go to Singapore today.., shiny modern, pace setting. That is a product of inventive leadership. If Singapore had Buhari as their leader instead of Lee, I bet by now instead of talking about high rises to accommodate the population of such a small country, the discuss will be about ruga! Leaders should skew cultural growths towards modern standards that makes the acceptance of new cultural tools easier. Not turning themselves into agents of retrogression and stagnation. Get yourself a bunch of forward thinking leaders and watch your country compete.

Frustration can't solve our problems, clear headed decisions will. You have to take time to study more about black history, African history, assassinations of top black thinkers/leaders Sankara, Lumumba, Sekou Toure, Frantz Fanon, Walter Roodney...,and the impositions of the bokassas, the Biyas and the Mobutus that replaced them and messed up things thereafter. Culture differs! Every culture has had some changes following events in such society's history. Those guarantees new outlooks to life/behavior. And again, Africa/black doesn't begin and end with Nigeria. Couple of African countries have made bold steps and left Nigeria behind. Give them some respect. Kenya is biulding a nuclear power plant. Ethiopia just completed the biggest dam in Africa. Nigeria? Still in the middle of their Rugamania! Choices...pls Read my recent reply above. When you travel to Asia you willl see tht there is nothing to it other than persistent-constant- dedicated leadership.... And again; spare the black Americans pls. Those guys went/are going through hell. You can't even imagine what being raised like chickens in poultry farm can do to ur culture/confidence/lifestyle in the long run...

The Africanized environment is a success killer. You beat them because you were among them.

They gave you the conducive environment, atmosphere, to operate at your highest potential which Africa cannot offer you.

So the lady is right, and Nigeria has the worst set of character traits among Africans.

I don't believe anyone is special. People are capable of doing special things though, but are Africans those people?... Look at Africans track record even prior colonialism, western civilization isn't our game it's the whites game you can't beat the creator of the game... Africans would fail in attainment of real western development goats don't fly... No I haven't read the book but i know a little about Singapore's advancement, but can it ever be replicated here in Africa or God have it Nigeria?
