Lugardism, UN Imperialism and the prospect of African power


CHINWEIZU*[1]

A public lecture delivered at the Agip Recital Hall, Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos on 18 February, 2006.



In a nutshell, my presentation today argues that:

1] The 20th century has been the most disastrous century, so far, for Black Africa. It was the century in which, under colonialism, Black Africa was subjected to culturecide at the hands of White Power. That culturecide destroyed our ability to resist the genocide that is now taking place. As a result, this 21st century is likely to see the physical extermination of Black Africans, unless those now under 30 organize and defeat the extermination campaign that white power has already unleashed on Black Africa. Therefore,



2] The problem of the 21st century is the problem of African Power – how to build it, and enough of it, to end the long era of our defeats and disasters in the race war, to prevent our extermination, and to ensure our dignity.



3] We should particularly note that Lugardism is a false framework, and these Lugardist states, Nigeria included, are the wrong foundation for building African Power



Introduction:

I just want to get us started on an examination of the awful situation in which we find ourselves in Nigeria, and in Africa, at the start of the 21st century, after some 50 years of fake independence, and more than 500 years of race war. We, Nigerians and Black Africans as a whole, have been in a race war for 500years or more, and we have no chance of surviving it if we refuse to recognize that fact and act on it.



[b]Since 1960, many attempts have been made to diagnose the trouble with Nigeria. Chief among the usual suspects have been, “tribalism,” corruption, and bad leadership. May I submit that these are symptoms, not the underlying causes; the fevers, not the malaria or typhoid parasites. Our problems are much more serious than corruption & co. They include identity crises of various kinds, a lunatic elite, cultural schizophrenia, Eurotoxification and the fact that Nigeria is not a nation but a noyau—i.e., a society of inward antagonism, one held together by mutual internal antagonism, one which could not carry on if its members had no fellow members to hate. And if we want to end the troubles of the Nigerians, we must dig deeper to find the fundamental causes. And I would like, today, to draw your attention to some of the systemic causes that do not usually appear on our radar.



1] First of all is Nigeria itself: The fundamental trouble with Nigeria is Nigeria itself—the Nigerian state. This Lugardist state, by which Nigeria was invented and is maintained, has been a disaster for the Nigerian peoples/nationalities and their society.



2] Second, is the refusal by Nigerians to recognize the race war in which Lugardism is a key weapon that white power is using against Black Africans.



3] Third is our failure, in Nigeria and in Black Africa as a whole, to study the Haitian experience and learn from it.



I, now, invite you to examine the following theses:



1] The Lugardist state is an enemy to the Nigerian population;

2] Black Africans, including Nigerians, are in the semi-final phase of a race war with the European and the Arab branches of White Power.

3] Nigeria has been Haitified--Turning Nigeria into a Haiti has been a way to totally defeat its people and all of Black Africa in this semi-final phase of the race war. For, just as Haiti in 1804 was the hope of the Black race, even so, in 1960, was Nigeria the hope of Black Africa. And, for your information, the Haitification of Nigeria is almost completed by now.

4] The key enemy weapons in the race war today include the AU, NEPAD, and the organs of the New World Order, especially the UN and its agencies.

5] If Africans do not build African Power now, and use it to prevent their final defeat in the race war, Africans will be exterminated in this 21st century. This, therefore, is the do-or-die century for Africans.



Recognition of these facts is the first step on the road to liberation and survival for the Nigerian peoples/nationalities. I shall say a little to introduce each thesis, and we can then together explore and illuminate them through questions and answers that, I hope, will continue long after we leave this hall. [/b]

Quattara as a Ecowas chairman has shown how useless African leaders are. Some people are making points here while others are posting nonsense, but woe unto you to sell your pride to the westerners. We are African, we must think like African, Islam and Christianity is dividing us woefully, this is never part of our forefathers. and God never made any mistake for making us African, God blessed Africa soo much. people are here talking about civiliazation, what is civilization? are we born with it?, we shall continue to follow the westerners as far as Islam and Christianity exist in Africa, this is what they have used to bound us, we are no longer thinking like Africa.  our fore fathers doesn't know anything like crime,hatred,gossip, fornication , hiv, famine etc, these are never part of Africa when there was no Christianity or Islam.  God is watching, oneday on this earth our children will rise and fight for all this nonsence and we African shall retrieve our pride. Until we say no to Islam and Christianity, we shall have peace and unite once again,
God bless Mother Africa,
May the souls of our ancestor lives well,
May the power of our land, unite us.
and may the Creator of humanity remain unchanged
God bless you all.

Yes undergraduate in us then I plan to get an MBA at maybe lagos business school. I am into economics so in order to undertand economics you need to know socialogy politics and history. So I study all of this on my spare time. Us africans have willy lynch syndrome because we have been trained to believe we ate inferior. We have to learnn about our great history in our past. Also our inferiority complex hurts the economy because we rather buy a whote mans product than a nigerians. So we have a love for foreign goods which depletes our foreign reserves. This is why I created the website www.nigerianedp.com I want to promote nigeria. I hear wizkid talk about gucci an dolce and gabana. In his song don't dull. In his song holla at ya boy hw wears americans clothes american slang and dances. If he were to wear nigeria clothes then this woukd create many jobs because the youth would follow him and a bbigger demnd will be there. I don't blame the west for everything. We need to change our colonial mindset. My ite is a start. Hopefully people can follow this.

Also read cap28 afro blue isale gan horus they mukina they know what's really going on in nigeria and africa too. You just cannot watch cnn and fox because they lie. Like right now they want to go in iran and syria. They can do the same for nigeria if people start to go their ow way. America wants to turn nigeria into sudan and split it up. Then it is easier to control. They also want the chinese out because they fear china.

Puppets like Ouattara and Zuma continue to perpetuate the agenda of their masters:

Danka7777:

Awesome brother. Very proud of you. Stay focus and you will be up there in just a little while. I did my undergraduate and masters in US but in chemical and Nuclear/energy engineering, respectively.

cap28:

You don't get it - GEJ is their puppet just as Ouattara is their puppet.

GEJ did everything they asked him to - he voted in favour of the no fly zone over libya which led to the destruction of a sovereign state in violation of international law and the UN charter.

He supported the French invasion and mass murder of pro Gbagbo supporters in Ivory Coast.

He endorsed the NTC who hate black africans and who openly lynched black africans and posted the videos of the lynchings on youtube

this is the behaviour of a puppet -

oh and last but not least - he took orders from Christine Lagarde (head of the IMF) who ordered him to increase the price of petrol plunging 99% of nigerians into even MORE poverty and degradation - a complete puppet - owned lock stock and barrel by america and europe.

Demdem:

In otherwords GEJ is an a*rsehole

what i'm sure is that a new generation of Africans will rise that will liberate Africa and i'm proud to be one of that generation.
as much as i love following cap28 posts right from the foreign affair section but i'm angry at him because he only talk as if you people better find solution to your problem because i'm already out here with no problem. Africa will not be liberated while we sit here posting alone. if evil men have cabal a cabal is also needed to challenge them not just talking

Danka7777:

.Have you asked yourself, how did our forebears survived without Christianity or Islam?

Danka7777:

we Africans need to know, the bible as we know it today was written based upon ancient African literature and proverbs. If you take a cursory look at the 10 commandments handed down to Moses, around 4000-6000 yrs ago (remember I mentioned a while ago that Blacks have lived on this planet for 50,000 yrs ago, which means they were here before Moses, Christ, e.t.c) these commandments were actually taken out from ancient African proverbs.

morpheus24:

My dear fellow the above is a lot of heresay. Can you point us to some convincing fact including the claim that black people were around 50,000 years ago or the ten commandments were extrapolations of Africna proverbs. Who are you getting that information from.?

morpheus24:

And the communist conspiracy theorists a run amok again.

igbo2011:

Black people are the original people so whenever humans started blacks started.

igbo2011:


"Adam and Eve" were black.

igbo2011:


It isn't a conspiracy theory. WAKE UP!!! Take an international relations class and you will learn the same thing. Watch foreign news sources and you will learn more. CNN, FOX, and BBC are biased and lie all the time.

@cap
i actually understand what it may look like living out there.just 2days ago a friend was telling me he'll want to have his children abroad to claim dual citizenship and have right like the oyinbos i just laughed at him and told him none of my kids will be born outside the shores of Nigeria. i've learnt that you don't need to argue with some people its just like whippin a dead horse.

morpheus24:

You also need to advise some people on this forum that as a consequence of his new found patriotism to the African continent, he needs to denouce his foreign citizenship status as well cause technically speaking not Nigerian-born.

i'm concerned about my own opinion i bliv i can be successful right here without having to run out likewise my unborn kids.it does not mean i can't go on vacation anyway

cap28:

igbo 2011, danka777, isale gan, afro blue and all other conscious brothers and sisters on this forum i want to say a big thank you for propagating your deep understanding of what is going on on the african continent. 

as for you ugosly you are sleepwalking into a very deep dark and bottomless pit of hell. 

i cant beleive that any sane african person can actually open their mouth and say that we africans have a  lot to learn from europeans who invaded our continent, enslaved us, destroyed our continent, brainwashed us with religions that they themselves do not even believe in, destroyed our culture , replaced our indigenous languages with theirs and degraded and dehumanised us - are these the type of people that you want to learn from?  you must be mentally ill to want to learn from someone who hates you and continues to do everything on this planet to ensure that you remain as an inferior being.

here are just a few atrocities that your european and american idols are  currently comitting on the african continent:

mobilising a military force known as africom in order to recolonise your entire  continent
overthrowing or assassinating any nationalist african leaders who try to mobilise the people against their  puppets


using debt slavery courtesy of the IMF and the world bank  to reduce africans to beggars in their own country


arming, funding and training rebel groups to overthrow legitimate nationalist african leaders who refuse to hand over their economies to the IMF and world bank

using their media to brainwash young africans into accepting western cultural values and ideologies in order to neutralise any feelings of nationalism and make them gullible docile zombies who accept western domination.

using their media to make young africans reject their own cultures, look down on their own people and aspire to be more like europeans and americans.

funding, arming and training BOTH SIDES in military conflicts in resource rich regions of africa in order to:
plunge the entire country into chaos
create an environment that will allow them to sneak in and keep stealing the resources in the midst of the chaos without any challenge
facilitate mass genocide and population depletion of those areas


the bottom line is they want to plunge the entire african continent into a state of chaos, war, famine, economic collapse in order to make it easier for them to make off with every valuable natural resource that the continent has UNCHALLENGED.

AFRICOM IS ALREADY ON THE CONTINENT AND ITS PLAN TO DESTABILISE THE ENTIRE CONTINENT IS NOW UNDERWAY - YOU BETTER AWAKE FROM YOUR SELF INDUCED COMA!!!
