Nigeria Would Have Been Developed If We Had Winter by VaselineCrew: 2:05pm On Apr 21, 2022
The weather here is perfect, with great soil and great resources.

However, we as black people have not taken advantage of these gifts.

I tell you, if there was winter in Nigeria, we would either be forced to develop, or die.

You think malam will be having 20 children, without electricity for heating in -10 degree weather? Trusssss me, it can’t happen.

How would you all survive when you can’t power heating in the winter? When your pipes are all frozen? When your roads are covered in ice and your corrupt government won’t salt the roads.

But since the weather is nice, someone can just sleep on the grass from morning till night and be fanning him/herself.

Naso


Africans don't know how blessed we are


Try living in desert region as well and tell me how you won't be wise

The more the challenges a person faces the smarter they become

I met a Muslim cleric dressed like an Arab with headgear and long rob and asked him why he said it was because it was islamical, Arabs on vacation in Europe wear casual wears

I had to educate him that Arab use headgear because Arab countries are prone to sandstorm which can happen at any time and they need the scarf to cover their faces so that they can breath

The wear long rob because temperature can reach extreme high in the afternoon and crazy cold at night

Their men prefer white and light colour because white and light colour doesn't attract heat, and with low humidity, heat and dry wind, you can wear your white kaftan for over 3 days without washing it

Their women wear black because they practically stay in door all morning and only go out at night when the weather is cold unlike Nigerian women copying them going out in hot sun wearing all black everything

Again as desert dwellers, they need to conserve water and their women can't afford to wash their cloths everytime, that's why the prefer blacks that hardly get stained, and can be dusted in hot air to re wear

Seriously necessity is the mother of invention, Nigeria is so blessed that we take many things for granted and the leaders and the citizen have become so complacent that we resolved to destiny and God for ordinary efforts that would better our lives.

Imagine a northern governor sending 1000 men to Hajj to pray against Bandit.

This is my view as well. We are over pampered by nature . That's why a couple with less than $1200 annual income can have kids and survive . Nature forced Europe to prepare for the future , and optimize the scarce resources available to them . Not just winter , asides flooding, which can't be compared to tsunami or hurricane do we have any natural disaster?

You are just writing this without gathering much insights...


A Northerner and a Muslim believes in their Quran doctrine that permits a man to marry upto four wives.... You are to even marry a widow that her husband died and left her ... The Quran explained to them not to worry about taking care of the children... because it's Allah that takes care of everyone...

So these men go out to birth children at will... The reason they have a growing population in the North...

That doesn't have anything to do with weather or winter season... And it wouldn't stop them if the winter season was in Nigeria.


The reason why Nigeria isn't develop is simple and we shouldn't shy away from it... Our leaders....

Just imagine Zamfara governor buying cars to religious leaders and even pay an all free trip to Saudi Arabia to them...

That money would go along way to build a school or a project that will be beneficial to everyone...

Quran and Bible was written by desert dwellers of the middle east by Persian, Jew and Arabs

Back then infant mortality rate is very high, many men die in war, so to fill up the vacuum created by war God permitted them to marry more women and give birth so humanity doesn't go extinct

Northerners have no real reasons to give birth lie rabbit, just an abuse of Quran and Hadit

Exactly....


They're abusing the Quran out of selfishness.... And lack of exposure...



I have seen lots of Saudi Arabians married to a single wife.. And I e seen them keep to a child or two...


It will be a better place for Nigeria... if these people will be expose to education...

Their leaders are against it and making them remained in this situation for decades.

Small children typing rubbish.

Europe got developed, not because of 'winter', but because, in a world that had used iron weapons for millenia prior, their greedy leaders deviated from the norm around the 17th century, and used Chinese gunpowder mixtures to build FIREARMS which they used to conquer whole continents and loot their resources. Simple. Prior to this, Europe was the poorest region on Earth, with widespread hunger and starvation.

So it was greed and desperation that drove Europe, not 'winter'.

Though I it's your opinion but I hate reading all these useless history that add no value to Africa.

So, because Europe steal Chinese gun powder is the reason Africa is underdeveloped? What about countries colonised by Europe that are now developed country?
Was it not African kings and slave merchants that sold our forefathers to the white in exchange of cigarettes, mirror and umbrella.

It sucks to blame others for your problems that have been ingrained into the skin like enzyma

You are absolutely right. Suffering forced Japan, European, Oceania and North America to think and develop. Necessity is mother of invention.
Europeans ravaged Africans and Asians in search of solutions to their problems. They saw people with abundant resources and took advantage of our ancestors. They had developed guns. Our ancestors
were still using fires,arrows and sword during wars. We were colonized and enslaved.

Black death of 15 and 16th centuries forced Europeans to develop and improve on medical sciences.

Britons move around the world. They settled in north America, NZ, Australia and some other islands.
They came to Africa. Weather discouraged them from having larger population in Africa.

If our resources are finished in Africa and hunger sets in, two things would happen-
1. Recolonization
2. Pan- Africa bloody revolution/wars.
We would now start afresh.

South Africa and Australia have winter but they were not developed when the europeans came and occupied those regions.
Re: Nigeria Would Have Been Developed If We Had Winter by Nobody: 6:33pm On Apr 21, 2022
I completely disagree

Greece Egypt Rome were great because they had good resources, water, fertile soil, gold and geography...

Today you can argue that America and Russia are powerful because of their landmass and resources...

Norway has lots of oil yet it is very successful

Africa has lots of resources but the truth is we have no control over those resources, hence the poverty...

but I still think culture has a role to play, Africans are cowards and courage is what promotes mankind.

Not just weather. We barely had any major wars, we rarely have any cause of catastrophic destructions like wars, tsunamis, natural disastars, heavy famine or drought periods, and even viruses dont seem to affect us much for whatever reason. Its these hardships that make humans want to come together and use their heads to make things work, and that is the origin of developed countries. Look at how frustration pushed us to come together and end sars. Look at how sufrin has pushed us to be more involved in politics. Sometimes, problems can be blessings, but theres always a price to pay.
