Even if our ancestor did as OP and many say is the case, at least we can absolve them of full blame because they were not as formally educated or as exposed as their trading partners then. Bringing in the concept of exploitation.

What is the excuse of the Japa lot, that includes some very well-educated people, abandoning Nigeria to go and seek better fortunes abroad yet the Chinese, Lebanese etal are trooping in to make fortunes from opportunities in Nigeria in numerous sectors?

I think it is the modern generation that has shown we have not progressed as we should have, even with education, to be viewed substantially evolved in comparison to our forefathers.

Easy to blame leaders, colonial masters, "outsiders" etal but, for me, the issue is that education does not seem to have improved the capacity of Nigerians to solve their own existentialist, economic and societal problems as others elsewhere have achieved.

Are Nigerians even educated?
When they keep spewing that gold for mirror shit.

Government matters alot,there's no excuse for Nigerian government eg for allowing Chinese to mine Nigerias resources, no excuse at all,its a satanically wrong thing to do

Again take for example, the ruling monarch of eswatini busy marrying wives,is that not gross irresponsibility?

Africans elite rulers majority of them ,along with majority of the people are simple too irresponsible to rise above their challenges

jara:
If you are one of those people who think that our forefathers were stupid to sell gold and people into slavery for mirrors; what would our grandchildren think of us?

Stop this lame narrative that ancestor blacks sold gold for mirrors its a complete lie and falsehood,they traded gold and other things for lots of useful things,like guns,steel,clothing materials, etc,mirrors were a minor item in a long lists of goods they exchanged for

LocalStandard1:
You have a very good point. But addressing one problem does not mean one should completely ignore the equally important challenging ones, you will end up never solving any as a lot of the times they all linked.

Take for example Borkina Faso, the country evicted the Western troops, who are the direct causes and sponsors of terrorists in Africa. Then the African country are building their own military capabilities with more credible international partners and effectively gaining and taking back terrorists control areas.

Borkina Faso is also stopping any previous mining deals with the West and with the strengthening military they can control their own mines and resources, while also rejecting any IMF and World Bank loans which are really a neocolonialists trojan horse for control.

Africa is the last strong hold of White supremacy and exploitation because it is the last conquered territory of the Europeans and most closest to Europe and the West geographically. But I can see awakenings happening.

And for the record I am here in Nigeria and will never travel or even visit a single Western or Arab country. Any country with a history of the exploitations of Black people and Africans will I never set foot in even on a paid free trip. That blood shed shall not be endorsed by my presence.
But I can go to Russia, China, Indonesia, other African but non Arab countries though.

Well maybe countries like burkinafaso are growing up,I pray it's so and stays that way.

They aided and abetted the exploitation of their country by the Western systems.

But If they are now growing up,then they on the right path

LocalStandard1:
Firstly before you have the right to talk about the "failings" of African people you should make sure you've contributed to the society first too, else you're just a loud hypocrite.

But you Should also educate yourself enough to realize the "White man" did not single handedly create the "platform" I am using. Their are contributions of every races and peoples to the creation of the phone, internet, rockets, aeroplanes, medicine every areas of life you can think of Black people are even now contributing to things. Infact, you're able to hold the phone in your hands thanks to the contributions of a Black man in chip technology making the telephone portable. Along with plenty in all areas of life.

But if you are only allowed to exist based on your contributions to a so-called "platform", then you do not deserve your life, first of all. And if that is the case then 99.99% of the entire humanity and living things do not also deserve life, as only the most tiny percentage of any groups have any direct contributions to most things. You see how st@pid your logic sounds?

Then again Africa has come a long way, it only gets better for us from here, we've seen it all and have survived it. Now is the time and this is the generation to start getting really educated and enlightened about what Africa and Black people can do to change things for ourselves and start fighting back head on.

People that think like you, people with such little knowledge and ideas about solutions, and people with such low self-esteem and passion can take the back sit quitely.

I just said my truth,am here in Africa,in NIG, I suspect you not based in Africa, Nigeria especially that's why your reply is thus.

If you in Nigeria ,you'll observe first hand, the irresponsibility of black people ( in this case NIGERIA) you'll understand, why they sold their neighbours into SLAVERY and continue to aid and abet white control.

All that boils down to the irresponsibility that is so rampant in countries like Nigeria.

Irresponsibility and meanness.

My statement is not from a POV of low self esteem, but my view is that Africans are well aware of the evil systems that seek to pauperize and maltreat them,but somehow due to gross irresponsibility,the people that are equipped to fight and change the narratives do not.

Just like you alluded to,there's only a few group of people to effect causes in any groups.

In Africa,most of the people positioned to effect this causes do not due to their child-like irresponsibility,instead they love running to the whiteman like children for saftey and shelter eg the Nigerian japa wave.

Take for example, the needless Sudan war,that is further pauperizing an already pauperised population.It is a needless war, but gross irresponsibility leads the actors to destroy their own country, the whiteman moves in ,exploits them,then they start crying foul.

Africa's biggest problem is not the whites or any evil system, it's their gross child like irresponsibility that prevents them from emancipation.

Africans and Africa simply needs to grow up

The platform you using to preach this was built by white people.

Until blacks wake up from their irresponsibility, they'll be trampled on
Blacks are irresponsible, especially the majority tribes blacks,so they'll keep being trampled on.

Like a child that refuses to grow up.He or she will keep being treated like a child despite they being adult.

Africa will continue to be whipped till they grow up

Hearing what the jigawa governor said about hardship from God and that his religion believes good or evil is from God.

My question is why do people have to believe in certain religions or doctrines.
Can they not believe in their own self and doctrine?

I believe in the fight against evil
I believe good should overcome evil

I believe in a campaign against the politico occultic NW SW evil system of Nigeria.

helinues:
The north which they hoped on to lead the protest are withdrawing hence as usual blaming thread.

They have been caught unaware..

Your evil politicians system will be destroyed, I'll Mk sure of it

History is very important for a reason, it enables one to peep into the past and interprete current situations.

Sometimes I laff when people accuse the igbos of evil.The igbos were never evil,atleast to most non Igbo tribes.

Instead the igbos were victims of themselves and evil to themselves.

The Nupe under Fulani rule,along with Hausa and kanuri settlers launched devastating raids and wars against innocent tribes in the current Middlebelt and south ( the Edo area).
This people were so evil,guess what they haven't changed.

What's more is that the Yoruba led by Ibadan and igbomina slaves of Ilorin,launched a devastating attack at the same time to the people of middlebelt especially the kogi area and northern Edo.

I tell u,no tribe as seen ancient wars historically in nigeria more than the people of kogi and Edo north.

These Yoruba People launched devastating ,deliberate war joing the (Fulani led) Nupe armies to attack their brothers in ekiti,Akoko, and okun,as well as others in Edo north.

Guess what, the SW and NW haven't changed,they still practising their evil systems through APC starting from Buhari to the current.

These evil peoples are Satanist.
Who believe in destroying innocent lives.

The igbos who they loved to scape goat and blackmail historically didn't invade anyone, until they were pushed to the wall under Nigeria.

The minority tribes have to be aware of the evil system they operate in and the evil systems that seek to destroy them and their livelihood sponsored historically by the SW and Nw.(aligning with the nupe-a middlebeltern people)
It is time

Everyone can see what is happening in the middlebelt( specifically this time in plateau- Benue area ) since the coming of APC ( the evil SW-NW politico system).

It's the same thing,they satanically seek to destroy the innocent Middlebelt belt tribes

It's real,the elites of these SW NW system are bound in occultic covenant from ancient times, they require the blood of innocents to sustain their land.They can kill their own people but they fear to do it due to the backlash especially the SW ,the NW do it periodically.

so they turn to the middlebelt as easy prey for their human sacrifice. Ancient Human sacrifice didn't stop,it only went underground.

My duty is to make the middlebelt aware of the dangers they face,they are feeding this evil politicians elite system with their blood and suffering

Protest must start against the FG in abuja

Abuja is the capital of Nigeria ,all national protest should be in and start from Abuja,LAGOS is no more the capital of Nigeria, any protest should be Abuja based.

No more occupy LAGOS, no more endsars in LAGOS.

Take your protest to the presidency

Because he set up refinery,that your governments could not do abi.

Wicked people

Ibrahimcoomasie:
You don't outrightly own the land. The c of o is a 99 years lease that can be revoked by the governor at any time. Alot of you posters are illiterates.

It's a lie,a governor cannot revoke c of o at any time, there must be cogent reasons,99 years is a lifetime,equating to ownership, 99 years is just corporate talk,it essentially means forever,eg dangote probably bought the land in 2013 that means the lease will expire in year 2112, do you think he cares for ownership for that long?

That was about 25 billion naira in 2013

That expanse of land is owned by the hausa-fulani now,they should not come later to say foreigners are taking over their land.they paid a whooping 100 mil usd

lawani:
Ijebu was defeated by an alliance of Britain and Ibadan. The bulk of the army was Ibadan. Ibadan was the Yoruba capital and the opening up of ijebu for trade was paramount in their mind as it was in the mind of Britain. Oyo was the second headquarter of ibadan and it was not bombed by Britain as you said. The only Oyo nation that gave Britain problem was Ilorin and what they said was that they signed a trade agreement and not a protection agreement with Britain. Oyo ile was burnt down by ilorin at a point and the burning down gave rise to the high population of many of the Oyo cities in the south of Nigeria

I maintain that oyo was bombed,check your records well,Britain defeated ijebu with its west African frontier soldiers mostly from the Caribbean, Hausa and sierraleonian with few Ibadan soldiers.

There's no argument. Going by dangotes narrative wether true or false. There's a recurring theme in his narrative, it's that Nigerias rulers are deliberately ruining the country.

But the people that constitute majority of the country are not sensible enough to decipher or tackle their evil rulers and are content as SLAVES.

It's always been this way for them.

Their ancestors were enslaved, colonised and now neocolonised.

These major tribes people disgusts me.
A predestined people for slavery

Ibadan was the Yoruba capital and they never fought with Britain. Yes Ijebu was defeated by an alliance between Ibadan and Britain and a resistance by Ilorin was stopped by Britain after the Kiriji war.

Oyo town itself was bombed,ijebu was defeated singlehandedly by Britain, IFA did not save the Yoruba from destroying themselves in civil war

lawani:
Can't you read my explanation that Yoruba never fought any war with Britain?. They were invited.

The ijebu fought Britain though and oyo was bombarded by Britain at a point

lawani:
Slavery was accepted and practiced worldwide and Yoruba never fought war with Britain. They invited the British to end a civil war and it ended in colonization. What is the meaning of your question?. Ifa nevertheless can only help you on the level at which you operate.

My question is IFA cudnt save them from Britain

TopBanter:
Okay that is fine. If you live in Lagos then speak as if you genuinely appreciate good efforts towards infrastructural development of the State.

Speaking objectively as a benevolent stakeholder and well-wisher of Lagos, I think infrastructural improvement under Sanwo-Olu Olu has been commendable, strategically effective and solutions-based.

Am simply speaking the truth,nothing else.the link bridge as taken too long to complete.
Other completed bridges have been overtaken by Street selling,homeless folks and dumpsites

You're from Kogi though meaning, ideally, you should mind your Kogi State business rather than talking ungraciously and ignorantly about a Lagos State Project.

I live in LAGOS,if you from LAGOS and live in kogi you are free to make comments on kogi.

It will stay that way till the end of naijeriya
