Sky Blue:
I can't believe anybody even takes this guy seriously anymore. He is simply there for comic relief and the only thing more annoying than his rants are the way he always tries to sell himself as a spokesperson for Africa. How can a man who seems to look down on anything south of the sahara be talking of African unity? The last thing Africa (united or not) needs is another despot. The world needs to stop giving this man relevance.

May God punish gadafi, he is not my leader,

this is what happens when thieves are aloud to be politicians.

Before seeing this pics, I thought Pakistan was on the same level with naija but now I know say; level pass level

Good move by Senegal. But why are the rest of West African Nations not doing the same?

OMG,
a great iroko tree has fallen.

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=562695.msg7335587#msg7335587 date=1292357796]There is something called the demographic transition theory that says that "underdeveloped" will have to pass through a industrialization phase before we can become more "developed" china and india are currently in this industrialization phase and europe and America went through theirs in the 1800s and earlier 1900s.
So my guess is that after China and India have passed their industrialized phase, we will be the next. I think that we probably won't have it now since we won't be able to compete with China and India who have already started ahead of us and developed the industry.

That's one theory of mine. What do you think?
overall though, i think these stuff anyways are bullocks. I think things will happen when it will happen (maybe influenced by my religious views).
I'm not a fan of industrialization for some reason. lol all i can think of are heavily polluted streets and what not (china is currently going through this). maybe we should think about how we can skip that step. lol[/quote]I agree with you on the industrialization phase. But I cant add anything to that now. will have to do my research first. The British Victorian era will be the best case study I think. i will be back. LOL

Guys can we now talk about what the Europeans did in their past that made them more technologically advanced than us today. what should we do to surpass them or beat them. thank you please.

Please show me where the Hausa/Fulani people are marching ejor o.
I nor wan follow Yoruba and Igbo people march. Or Drunkards from the South-South(the cheapest head in Nigeria to be sold for free).

blazay is a goat.

OMG, and this woman is somebodies daughter, mum or wife. God forbid

Col Gaddafi said Europe "could turn into Africa" as "there are millions of Africans who want to come in".
We don't know what will happen, what will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans," Col Gaddafi said. We don't know if Europe will remain an advanced and united continent or if it will be destroyed, as happened with the barbarian invasions.

This is the dude that wants to the king of Africa for life.

[quote author=john_blaze link=topic=562695.msg7328793#msg7328793 date=1292275824]blackteeth asked a question and no one is yet to answer it, can you mention on great civilisation that existed in sub-sahara africa? Most civilisation that existed in those regions were pretty much primitive and that was why when the europeans came they quickly crushed them and subdue them. Its quite unfortunate but its the hard truth, the europeans came with their guns, cannon, war ship and other artillery while the primitive africans fought them with their bows and arrows!! how the hell did we think we could defeat them,  and yet some people still talk about great african civilisation.[/quote]Benin empire etc  

Secondly, what do you think Nigeria/Africa would have been like if we were on a planet of our own and never came into contact with the Europeans? The Europeans brought in new knowledge to us including most of the things we use in our daily lives Today ranging from toothbrush to Cars and modern medicine . I doubt if Africans would have had this much knowledge and enjoying these wonders of  technology at the level of this present day if actually we were on different planet away from contact with the Europeans. I believe Africans may invent one or two on their own, but not close to the present day level of knowlegde.

Good question, But also think Europe would have been like if they were on a planet of their own, without contact with the rest of the world?
Mind you about two thousand years ago some Europeans were still living in caves.

these mumus need to be humiliated humbled

Pharoh:
I don't know the kind of hatred people have for igbo made product, the asians started this way too. We should see ourselves as one and try to support or is it a case of jealousy?

word, I was thinking the same. We should show some love to our Igbo brothers, we will get there someday.

OAM4J:
And where did you get this information from? let me guess. . . from your home-economics teacher

So you don't know that Ghana was richer than Nigeria in 2006 GDP per capita world rating. mumu

The reason why Africans are the most underdeveloped in the world today is because we are the most heterogeneous people on the planet. Africa needs to move towards being a more homogeneous society.
A major study was founded by Jewish Professor Robert Putnam from Harvard University, showing that heterogeneous  societies are very stressful, and dysfunctional. People tend to disengage socially, huddle together, and avoid each other.
What is a homogeneous society? A homogeneous society is such a society where most of the people share the same types of cultural values, language, ethnicity and religious system.
Homogeneity comes to a society in a number of ways-ethnically (as is the case with the Japanese), religiously (many Arab nationals), culturally (Indians), politically (communism China) etc.
The question now is, what does Africa need to do to be a more homogeneous society?

If you are clever enough to see that, then what in your opinion is the cause?

Good question but it doesn't have to be gene

Would you then not think that its the people? ?
If you blame it on bad leaders, then fair enough but WHY DO WE CONSTANTLY HAVE BAD LEADERS?
(the answer is simple: it is from us and this is across black Africa )

I agree it's our fault, but it has nothing to do with GENE

At the time the op started this topic (2006) Ghana was the rishest; GDP per capita, while Nigeria is rishest; GDP purchasing power parity In West Africa. But now Nigeria is the rishest in any which way. LOL

Rossike, I am very impressed with your vast knowledge of history and world affairs. to say brownteeth is daft is an understatement. he is ,

what a great man.

@brownteeth
does a homogeneous society exist?

Brown teeth it’s not about the gene, there is nothing wrong with the black gene. LOL.
It’s more of a sociological and political problem. Humans are advanced enough to learn from their mistakes.
Even ant has a well structural system that works for them.

Why is the Nigerian government neglecting this road? Is it not important enough for the country, I can’t understand why something as Important as a good road is not taken seriously by the Government. We need this road fixed immediately.

This is the same road where this horrific accident took place

A bus was ambushed by armed robbers, the passengers were robbed and raped, those that had nothing to give were asked to lie down on the road face down and the driver on gun point was commanded by the robbers to drive the bus over them

Very sad story that one. 

I think the state of the Nigerian federal roads should be used as a yardstick on the performance of any administration.

Only unity can bring the development we truly need. Unity and development goes hand in hand.

Lol

Nigeria do not have the resources to generate enough electricity for the whole country. the only way forward is nuclear. we too plenty boo.
