Again , I see the kneejerk reaction of an unthinking and very narrow minded troll.
For the records, I have toiled and sacrificed for my optimism for better Nigeria more than you can imagine.
Nigeria is not a nation, and cannot ever be a nation until people like you get off that delusional weed , face the truth , go cold Turkey, and then begin to expand your dilapidated minds .

Theres is a better, more sensible way of making your point without wishing harm on yourself that much.

But i will leave you with your bitterness, i hope you change your mindset because Nigeria deserves more than people with your kind of mentality.

Your arguments are coarse, baseless, sensless and lacks positivity.

Whether you think Nigeria or all other African countries are real or not is besides the point here.

Lets deal with whats infront of us today, and the country we inherited from colonisation is called Nigeria.

That is the reality infront of us today.

Well you need to re-educate yourself and stop hating yourself so much.

That is my advice to people like you.

Stop hating yourself and instead contribute to make the world a better place

plaetton:
...take one step forward and two steps backwards till eternity , because they are unable to purge themselves of falsehoods and delusions , unable to face truth and embrace it.

You seem good at describing yourself and your delusions.

You arent coming across as someone sensible.

Im guessing you are NOT Nigerian?

Are You?

If you are Nigerian, then get off your fat *rse and work for Nigeria.

You display so much hate for yourself its scary dude.

Most humans today are blinded from the truth about African history.

Africans cannot be blinded to the truth about African history, because our progression is highly dependant it.

In all fairness, after all said and done, Africans will eventually re-affirm our place in the world as the global leaders that we truly are.

Stop fighting over trivial stuff.

Theres some much all us Africans can fight for, trivial stuff isnt one of them.

All African should unite and pull in the same progressive direction.

Civilisation started in Africa.

African people are the first in the world to have experienced civilisation.

Humanity began in Africa.

Africa is the oldest and richest continent on the planet.

Africans are allowing Asians and Europeans to define who we are.

Nonsense!

Africans are meant to define ourselves.

Put all you have learnt about African history according to foreigners rhetoric and or scholarship into the intellectual bin.

And strive to research the true African history in accordance with African scholarship.

HeyCorleone:
God bless you for this. May your days be long.

Even here on Nairaland, you see so much hate among tribes. This one calls that one Igbo. The other replies with Afonja. And I'm supposed to be irritated by someone calling me nigger? Hell no.

Because you're obvioisly ignorant and uninformed.

I dont care if you're white, yellow, purple or green you cannot call me a N***er and leave my domot looking happy. Probably a right-cross to the earlobe will put such a person in their place.

Put the effort into studying African history and you will see things from the real and true perspective.

Tribalism is a Eurocentric terminology, what you probably are refering to is "discrimination".

Discrimination is a vile evil.

Discrimination is discrimination stop calling it tribalism.

Africans dont have tribes. Europe has tribes.

Africa has ethnicities or what some refer to as ethnic brothers and sisters.

Therefore, using simple logic, Africans are able to succeed, excell at anything by any means neccessary; including intellectually, scientifically and technological know how.

Science is a good tool for the African.

Biology, Genetics to be precise tells us that all the various ethnicities in Africa are indeed the focal point and origin of all the other peoples of the world.

The rest of the world are genetically offsprings of African ethnicity.

Now we know the truth, lets get to working out a brighter future.

Remember, Africans exist in ethnicities. Africans dont have tribes.

Europe has tribes, Africa has ethnicity.

To assist in knowing where it is that we are going.

Its often good advice to re-trace where we have been.

In the beginning God created the African.

Here is the starting point of African history, exactly the same starting point of world history.

By the time Arabs and Europeans came into existence, apart from the "wheel", almost all the major human advancenents and innovations has already been invented.

During colonisation, black Africans have the most patents (inventions) in human history since recording inventions began.

Africa is responsible for the civilisation of the world.

Arabs and Europeans missed 50% of world history, yet they claim to be the authority of this, that and the other.

50% of world history (from point zero to 50%) occurs exclusively inside the African continent.

Now that is our cup of tea.

Its the concept that matters.

Have fun with the concept, make it ours.

Make it a reality.

We are at about the same stage of development we was before the distruption that was colonisation.

Nation Building!

We have to continue stubbornly on the cause to find our true Identity.


The African Identity.

Western Civilisation is not our cup of tea. We gave the world civilisation.

Africa is our cup of tea.

Nigeria is going to be great.

How?

Nigeria, is going to be a great spectacle for all the world to bear witness one day.

By the means of all us hard working Nigerians.

All of us will combine to make Nigeria proud.

God bless you Rossik you continue your great work o jare.

plaetton:
I laugh that you actually call me ignorant, and then go to expose your own level of ignorance.

First of all, if you know the meaning of industrial revolution, you wouldn't have made the really really ignorant and grievous error using Nigeria and industrial revolution in one sentence or statement.
As a university course, I studied in great detail the industrial revolutions of Britian, The United States , Japan, South Korea . This was long before the emergence of Taiwan, Malaysia, India and China as new industrial powers.

Therefore, anyone who thinks or deludes themselves that you can grow and nurture a failed and dilapidated wasteland like Nigeria into an industrial power with genetators is an ignorant pathetic mo.ron, for want of gentler words .And I'm sorry if that offends you.
Nigeria posses no single factor, ingredient, strength or trait that are vital for economic progress , talkless of an industrial revolution . Not a single one.

No homogeneous culture.
No history of unity.

No political stability.
No stable administrative institutions.
We don't have any quality education at any level.
Very poor science and math skills.
We don't have a long term development plans.
We have no robust transportation sector to seamlessly move goods and people .
No stable power supply.
Corruption at every level of governance and administration.

The very fact that more than half the States of the federation cannot pay workers salaries from month to month, upwards up to 28 months is alone indicative that Nigeria does not even have a workable system of governance.

And should I give an example of Ajaokuta Steel, the biggest white elephant in the history of the world ? 40yrs, $20b or more, and Not even one single steel rod.
And you're talking about an industrial revolution ?
My friend, stop deluding yourself.

Well call me ignorant but what you claim to have acquired in Western knowlegde, makes you lack common sense.

Where are you from?

Who are you?

Where do you claim?

Ask yourself these questions, answer them and come back here to write with your sensible head on

Because your education is of no use to anyone if you cant jump on the bandwagon of progress.

Im afraid its YOU that is the waste here,

Waste of time,.
Waste of money to get you "educated"
Wasted vision, or NO vision

Why waste all those years in a higher institution to come out with a broken-biscuit view of the country that educated you?

Stop and Think!

A total waste of space is what you are.

If you brain was a battery charger, youre brain couldnt charge my phone pass 8%

The powers that be within the government structures have their chance to leave a mark on history for their next generations.

Money is NOT everything.

Anyone can name a few things that are more important, heres one.

Having your names engraved into African history as the set of politicians that began a radical change that leads to major improvements in the political, sociological and economical situation of the Nigerian general public.


(a) free education starting from day of birth
(b) national service programme to start from secondary school
(c) career programme to begin after secondary school
(d) career programme after NYSC
(e) free comprehensive vocational programme available for all ages. running everyday of the year, including saturdays and sundays.

Government can easily and steadily change their ways and make reservations to afford sponsors such programmes for the next 100 years or so.

nazicartel:
instead of oyibo ppl let military take over and rule for 15yrs

That is definately NOT the best choice, i think we've had our fair share of military rule.

We need the general public to genuinely get involved in politics.

Create numerous community associations, co-operative groups, independant political institutions e.t.c

These are the type of efforts the general public can partake to help make Nigeria work for everyone.

No, we should hand the country to an up and coming prospect.

Use our vote to guide our nations future.

Maintain law abiding citizen.

Help Nigeria to greater heights.

Ask yourself, how can i assist in making Nigeria better place for all of us.

Take a part of the responsibiity for making Nigeria greater than ever before.

Very Simple Indeed.

tungamaje:
You and I know that all you enumerated are impossible hence the OP's view that Nigeria has failed and that it's better the whites recolonize us

"Us"? You mean "You"

I dont buy into your low self esteem NONSESNSE.

Get to grips of yourself

uuzba:
Unfortunately, the racist people make very quick and judgements and take action. They don't have time to understand all this explanation

Yes you are correct, bigots are mostly bullies.

So you deal with them in the same way you would deal with bullies.

(a) hold your ground.
(b) involve an elderly person
(c) involve the police
(d) study law

Stop using allegorical terms such as "race" or "racism"; "tribe" or "tribalism"

Use simple, correct and accurate terminology, i.e victory, an unfair treatment, success, discrimination, appreciation, ethnicity e.t.c

Kingkun69:
tell that to a racist

I hear you. Eurocentric biggots are the ones that created the terminology in the first place.

Stop using allegorical terms as "race" or racism.

Use simple, correct and accurate terminology, i.e victory, success, discrimination, appreciation e.t.c

Kingkun69:
And yes racism is a form of discrimination google it

Both you and google are incorrect on that one im afraid.

Racism is not a real word.

Racism is derived from the term "race"

The term "race" is a socio-scientific construct ("lab-created" ) that has no real meaning outside of the social sciences.


Call it discrimination or an unfair treatment, do not call it racism.

There is only one race. The human race

Kingkun69:
yes but they are like siblings like poverty and hunger wherever there is racism there is a form of discrimination

No racism is NOT a form of discrimination.

Discrimination based on skin colour, is a form of discrimination.

Discrimination based on ethnic group (NOT tribalism), tribes do NOT exist in Africa. Ethnicity exist in Africa.

Tribes exist in Europe.

Africa is in existence from the dawn of time, living peacfullysic and glouriously as different ethnicities.

Kingkun69:
racism is everywhere no matter how little u can't escape it wherever

No sir, discrimination is everywhere.

Racism and tribalism are both socio-scientific construct that has no meaning outside of the social sciences.


Racism is meaningless.

Discrimination is what most people expeeience not "racism".

otipoju:
The key to dealing with white folks is never to defer to them from the very beginning...

Gbam!

The Op has experienced a huge amount of discrimination based on the colour of her skin and she seems suprised.

No suprise to people that appreciate world history.

World history tells us that all the peoples of the world aspire to rule the world, except for Africans.

Africans are rulers of the world by default.

That is what happens when you dont know your world history.

You get clowned out by a foreigners behaviour in their own backyard.

You are probaly expecting they are to love you, care for you and cherish you?

No ma, not at all.

I appreciate the fact that you have the courage to share your experience to the world.

Ride out the storm, affect the laws of the land to make a change, that is all you can does.
