Our ancestors didn't chase anybody away. UK granted us fake independence. No country will grant it's colony independence, you have to fight for it. That's why UK still controls Nigerian government indirectly, same everywhere in Africa.
Africa's problem is cultural. Every informed person knows that a nation can only flourish if it has a major common identity. As long as there are multiple identities, politicians will always look for a way to exploit it for their selfish gain.
Nigeria is weak because we have 400 tribes with 3 majority tribes, 2 major religions. That is nothing to be proud of. Almost all prosperous nations have 1 major ethnic group and 1 major religion. This minimises identity politics. Politicians will always look for a way to manipulate the system.
Our problem is not our leaders, because all governments are the same. Exchange Nigerian leaders with US leaders and vice versa, US will still remain the same, but Nigeria won't change because we have a docile, uninformed population, where most people care only about their personal interest.
I don't think breaking Nigeria will solve anything, or do you want to break it into 400 nations. Even inside a tribe, people still hate one another. Most races have gone through all these before. Europe had hundreds /thousands of tribes before they started merging to form States. It's just that Africans haven't evolved or aren't planning to evolve anytime soon. Only a cultural revolution can solve our problems (If handled by the right people). Well I don't see that happening anytime soon, but the sooner it happens the better for the black race.

Oh yeah - SA flag... #CleanupSA #RebuildSA

Check how this thread won't be popular. They wanna keep believing people are ready to eat each other in SA. Have u seen the frontpage?

this is the right time Chicco should have sung the song he released in the 80s titled we miss you manelo( meaning we miss you mandela). A song he dedicated to Mandela when he was in prison. With Mandela alive the violent protest would have been averted cos one word from his mouth would have doused tensions.

bunto:
Beautiful song. Thanks for sharing!

Lol , it's currently winter - June, July, August. But most evenings get a chill throughout the year - you should always carry a light jersey.

We experience all the 4 seasons of the year. Best time to visit is spring and summer time (September to end of February).

The bolded is the secret weapon of every politicians globally and they would always be different cultures and ideology merge together. the only way out is for African masses to evolve but like you also said, Africans are not ready to evolve as a society that can look beyond tribal and religious sentiment.
The number of the very few that have evolved are too small to make any change.

My question to you is what is the way forward?

weyreypey:

Used to the strikes. But as you said this was on another level. It is traumatising to business owners. Expect some of them to exit.

TMKsouth:


Thank u very much for your kind words, I really appreciate them at a time of sadness and vulnerability in SA. Comments like yours have been very few on Nairaland over the past week - Nigerians really hated on black South Africans and rejoiced over the unrest.

Lol, the guy in the picture is a local celeb, Prince Kaybee - he's a DJ. I was just fooling around with that guy - he's an enemy of mine here on Nairaland and his comment was actually mocking me. Sorry, didn't mean to deceive everyone.

Good bless all of Africa indeed.

Since black people took control of SA government everything has started deteriorating and going downhill, South Africa is one of the unsafest countries in the world now, White people are migrating to another country each day!

Black is a cursed race!!

edochie12:
But to be sincere,this people are over hyping South Africa,we have up to 38 cities in Nigeria that will rival south Africa,apart from 24/7 light,I think we are living better than them.

chineloSA:


Who lied to you.
SA became more developed since black government took over. The SA you see is not the same SA I found here when I moved to here.
Propaganda is not doing justice. Yes crimes has increased, but what if the Apartheid government was not accurately reporting their stats??

37 without common sense, you will still get to 40 and be a fool forever.

don't be offended, that's the obvious true.

OChimex:


If these happens once in a while like it happens anywhere in the world, it could be understood. But those guys have made these destruction almost a yearly ritual. Have you forgotten just last year or so how they started killing fellow blacks in gruesome manner and burning down their country?
When someone has continued to make the same mistake often, the person is termed stupid and foolish.

These people do these out of fun, they love seeing their beautiful cuties destroyed. They hate progress and envy people progessing.
Just mark my words, they will repeat this carnage in a no distant time. Its not done out frustration, its done out of fun, wickedness and envy. They are just waiting for any slight opportunity to start the destructions.

The truth is that a lot of Nigerians are not happy with South Africans especially in the way they treat Nigerians. The country is well organized and yet we still have people who attack foreigners, to me its not right. Normally, most news these days are fake so it might be possible some of the news from South Africa is fake too. I hope the government take care of the common man to avoid issues like this.

you are southy abi?

Is this an innocent question or mischievous one?

Who told you Nairaland forum is for Nigerians only? I am certain that the founder of Nairaland is happy that the forum has an African Outlook.

The childish question you asked is akin to an American asking you on Twitter why you are using a social network owned by an American.

I am Nigerian and I find your question out of place. I will assume you were trying to be funny, but it isn't funny.
