This is soooo brutal! grin

The truth is that everyone doesn't have the same mental capacity; I found out in the university. In school, some of us read to learn.

However, I was shocked when I met a course mate who could cram the text of an entire page of a textbook and reproduce it without looking at the page word for word. I am not kidding. God knows that I cannot do that. He graduated with 4.23. He nearly made a first class.

Meeting that guy exposed me to the fact that there are things one can never be, no matter how much one tries. Humans are not the same. Humans don't have the same mental capacity. Genetic makeups differentiate races. For Black Africans to come close to Caucasians in mental capacity, we have to invest massively in education.
God bless you. Black people need to invest massively in Education especially Africans. We need to re-orientate our mindset. Call it white man curriculum but we need to start from somewhere. I've been not Less than 5 sub-saharan countries bro. I swear it's a sorry sight. They still discriminate you as a black person, telling you to go back to your country of origin.
I don't think in the next 100yrs black man will be able to find it'd footing.

It’s like that because people provide for almost every infrastructure like roads, water, etc, by themselves.

It’s when the government comes in that you see streets been properly constructed

Most of the people shouting sh*thole here...once government initiate moves to demolish some of these shacks for roads and other developmental projects....you see them shouting and cursing like their umbilical cords are spiritually fused to disorganization.

It is on this same platform we saw them attacking the new FCT minister just because he wants to sanitize Abuja.

It starts with the little things people see as "normal" in Nigeria:

- You drink sachet "pure" water and dump the sachet on the road like a retard.

- You crack boiled groundnuts along the road, chewing and leaving a groundnut shell trail like a bush animal.

- You cross the express running like a confused chicken when there's an overhead pedestrian bridge few metres away from you.

- You bring out your wa.nker and piss in the nearest gutter like a baboon when you're pressed...

- And many more.

It's not magic - We are the streets.

And poop in the gutter
If you enter bush poop no go gree you do anything for there
I stopped complaining when I realized people are eager to see the gov to treat them bad, if you try to act good you’ll be overthrown fast

The problem with black is lack of collective will.

The collective will is how wall of Jericho was built. The collective will is let us build a tower that reach heaven. The tower of Babel. Those things are the collective will blacks do not have.

Black people were never organised and never had a written text or history. They tell stories of the past which contradicts one another. Before the white men came they were naked with leaf and hagered looking.

When some of them begins to proper or get rich they oppressed one another and destroy people preserve to have bright star.

The history of the black race is not very interesting or educative like the other race. Modernization is been forced on us as it was never part of us and reasons we are finding it difficult.

Give a black youths big money. He will start throwing it in the air. Party and sex.

What you said up there, is like a dagger to the heart, a very painful and annoying truth.

It's just unfortunate.

It's like, we have made up our mind to be permanently backward, signed a permanent and unending treaty with mediocrity

So, why do our streets look bad?

Simple answer....we don't pay the type of tax that should make our streets look good..

Very funny . What happened to all the taxes being paid before now .
Do you know how much FIRS hasn't been able to account for ?
What about the Nigerian postal service...do you the billions unaccounted for ?
What about the yearly budget by the ministry of works, how much is being padded and how much is actually being used to do the work
what about the former minister of petroleum aka the president , how much accounted billions and no one dares to question him ...
That tax excuse you're bringing up doesnt cut it all , so how are saudis able to do theirs with their income tax? We have solid minerals , crude oil , natural resources you can ever think of and even a young population ... So tell me how tax is the main issue

You're the epitome of thougtlessness.

Do you know how many countries are on this Earth?

I know you haven't a clue, because you only know ''the USA''.

Plus the rest of the 25% of nations that are 'advanced', in a world of majority DEVELOPING nations and populations who look NOTHING like the USA.

The USA has acquired its wealth, which gives it a 7.6 trillion dollar annual budget (compared to Nigeria's 50 billion dollars), by invading directly or indirectly 198 of the 202 countries on Earth today, killing MILLIONS of people in the process. All geared at accessing resources on the cheap, and economic allegiance.

THAT IS WHY THEY ARE SO RICH AND DEVELOPED TODAY.

THROUGH BRIGANDAGE.

So when you are there, and you see all those bright shining lights and facilities that are shacking your head, KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM before demanding that Nigeria ''be like them'', or before ''praying for Nigeria''.

Instead, pray for yourself that the wrath of God does not fall on America (Babylon the Great of Revelations) while you are sitting their praying for Nigeria.

Or that an intercontinental ballistic nuclear missile from the Kremlin doesn't drop on your rooftop.



See them!

Typical Black man!

Everyone is the problem, but yourself.

I am sure it was because of the US invading countries that the world was waiting for them to develop COVID vaccine and distribute.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was busy crying and wailing for access to vaccine for Africans as a way of stopping COVID-19 because it was a pandemic.

Any disease America cannot cure, no other country will make effort to find the treatment. Everyone's waiting for America for the solution to everything, yet you dare write trash about them!

In serious countries, they don't joke with research. America spends billions of dollars every year on research. In fact, American government funds the research of private universities, companies, agencies and research institutes. Tomorrow, they invent new things and implement them. Those they don't commercialise, nobody will have access to it. If America didn't commercialize the internet, nobody would have access to it today.

When we were in school, a lot of us in STEM spent money to do research and develop something. The same thing we did in school ended up in the dump sites of various universities because the Black man is only interested in finished products. Nobody cares about research in Nigeria. Nigérian research institutes are not even funded.

Until we begin to admit we have problems and learn from countries that are genuinely making progress (like the Asians are currently doing), in the next 100 years, we will still be struggling with epileptic electricity supply and politicians will be promising us pipe borne water as the dividends of democracy. We haven't been able to solve those problems 100 years after amalgamation.

I leave you in peace...

This is not only in Nigeria, This applies to every African countries,

Anywhere you see a white person, There are 97% chances that the place will be organized and clean

But anywhere you see a Black person, There are 100% chances it's gonna be a slum

Even far out of African down to the carribeans which is mostly habited by black people, It's also sh*thole, Even the most dangerous and dirty part of America are where black people live, they call it "HOOD

No Single Lie.

This Is 1000% Correct Fact.

It's a SKIN Problem.

Some of Us despite being a Black Human. We have High IQ but We are very Unfortunate to have found ourselves amongst these set of Beings. But the goodnews is we can change the direction of the Tide.

Personally i don't want my Offsprings to carry the Gene of 100% Black Gene. That's if i change my mind about having Kids.

This is the reason why I hardly interact with Black People, Most especially the Poor Filthy Ones.

1. We don't collect enough in tax or 80% of government revenue won't be oil

2.We also earn enough oil revenue to make a country that has less than 10m look nice. Not a country of 220 million people.

3.And like I always say, we have to change our economy. And stop corruption.

I've been to 15 states in Nigeria my whole life, and one thing I always notice is, Untarred roads, Lack of drainage system, Lack of proper planning e.t.c

Which always make me curious, Why does everywhere in Nigeria look like it got hit by a nuclear bomb? Why? Why don't we have modern streets and cities!!

Since the inception of Nigeria, I Don't think we have built any city, And please don't even mention Banana island, It's a piece of crap!!

It's sad that only about 3% of Nigeria is actually developed and the other 97% is just straight up piece of trash!!

Its a function of poverty of the people, illiteracy of the people, incompetence (from our town planners and government).

It may be acceptable that some of the poor, old parts of a town remain this way. After all the core of Ibadan, which is characterized by those brown tin roofs, were in existence hundreds of years ago. So the only way to modernize such areas is to bring them down in large chunks and redevelop.

However, where I weep more for Nigeria is the new areas of cities are not much better. For example, the Lekki peninsular was pretty much virgin land in the 80's and 90's. Lekki really took off in the late 90's. We had an opportunity to really plan that axis well, but as usual, we no dey get sense.

This is what Gov Ambode was trying to Eliminate, Get at least 70% of Lagos Roads Tarred so that the Sands and Filth will reduce.

It's so sad that over 10 trillion dollars has been stolen since the inception of Nigeria

That huge amount could transform any serious country from the worst to the best in just a decade, Are we really cursed as a people? I've been to other Africa streets too, They also suffer from the same bullsh*t, What is wrong with us as a race?

Someone said if Nigerians Moved to America and Americans move to Nigeria, In just 5 years America will be messed up and Nigeria will become a thriving nation

Are we cursed?

A lot of Nigerians have a low IQ. Black Africans have the lowest average IQ of all races (80). But that's not even the main issue. The issue is that if there was such a thing as Organizational Quotient, most Africans would be retärded

To solve the African problem, we have to ban Africans from travelling abroad. Especially the politicians. Imagine if politicians know that the moment they get into politics or hold any political office, they won't be allowed to travel abroad for things like medical treatment or to send their kids to school. Most of them would be reluctant to hold any political position. Black Africans are like small children, the way they think. Consumerism culture and low intelligence

So, for telling the truth, I am now defending injustice?

At the end , my point is clear

We have to vote in a government that

1.Improves tax uptake

2.Ends corruption

3.Creates an economy that is dependent on the sale of industrial manufactured goods and services to world markets.

And it is not APC, PDP or even Tinubu. None of them meet that criteria for me.

P.S : Arphateid South Africa did spend more on whites than blacks. Black areas were in a bad state as a result. Part of the issues that have blighted SA.
