So who modernized those old factories, built on them and from them to build new ones. I am sure they went to the same schools Nigerians did.

How many local Carter Bridge have we built or world class engineers have we produced?

Practice make perfect, that was how Japanese built better cars, Chinese acquired Nuclear bomb and now North Korea. If the Russian did not start their Space Program from local materials, could they buy or compete

Nice to know that some of our looters have some moral values after all.

Do what I say, not what I do.

All this ceremony for Peter Obi!

The whole Universe must celebrate this o.

Igbo kwenu.

Tinubu must be furious in Nigeria

No country or prosecutor indicts so many people otherwise we are all guilty.

It is not all the drivers that are speeding that the traffic corp stops except of course in Southern Nigeria to collect bribe.

Make example out of the most egregious fellows.

Is it a reality or not? True or false.

Another day, another femboy spouting imaginary theories.

Keep good eyes on 7 on the "voluntary" invitations of China by Taiwan and of North Korea by South Korea to take over.

As Ukraine gave up to Russia!

MARRIED WOMEN COMPETE WITH SINGLE WOMEN FOR BACHELORS

There are many more bachelors well beyond the age of marriage in any society today than ever but they refuse to take the jump for fear of rendering responsibility to many young women without husbands. It is not about mothers who would not let their sons leave home or the economic and political situations that has made them underemployed or unemployed. Even those young men, who have good jobs or prospects, procrastinate about getting married.

As if we do not have enough competition between men for that woman or between women for that man, some of these young men hide under the wrapper of some married women. Why should they marry if they are getting it by succumbing to married women’s tender care? The fact is if they are getting it from girlfriends, she expects commitment to marriage in return but with a married woman, there is no responsibility whatsoever. So do not blame it on the young girl who gives it out in order to can keep him. Retaining virginity for marriage is mostly a passé.

In the first place I thought this type of Nepo kids only get this type of judgment abroad, with their mothers kicking out their fathers out on the streets.

Naow, do people forget that Jonathan ruled this country surrounding himself with Wailers and left Niger Delta Environmental degradation worse than he met it.

Sey Dokunbo Asari and his comrades that got Presidential Plane to negotiate with Obasanjo in Abuja nay poor man?

You see the reason they refused to extradite him to join Husspuppi?

Ibori, Alamsco, Deseani etc should have stayed in Nigeria instead of running out.

If dem born Kyari well, let him step out of Nigeria.

I wonder if Chinenye is out of Peru prison

banku:
In the first place, I cannot stand any of the three Presidential candidates and anything about them cannot surprise me.

If this is Opposition Research, fine. But we also know about Peter Obi's drug mule Chinenye Ezewuzie. If Tinubu spent as much on her as Obi and others are spending, all side will knock one another out and we shall have peace to concentrate on the problems of the Country.

Note that the original story was bought and killed
in the SUN newspaper. It was too late.

Under which President was El Rufai a fugitive and what was he charged for then

It is sad how situation has turned against Nigerians. Please, those of you old enough, teach the Youths the reasons behind "Ghana Must Go".

Everything we accused them of then led to their expulsion. Nigerians are worse in their country now. Ghana is more accommodating than Nigeria.

Everything said here is not exclusive to born or adopted children. Your own children can turn against you just like adopted children. But it really hurts when children you went out of your way to adopt turn against you.

Parents would tell you how their own children neglected them as adopted children came to their rescue.

Just realize that children are not assets as we dreamed of in those days. They are liabilities that you should accept and rear cautiously. Ladies that decided not to have children because they could hardly care for themselves, not to mention children are not stupid after all.

It is the fathers that always get the short end of the stick today.

Gburu is no longer in vogue, not because there is no more gburu abroad but because it is now glorified.

It does not matter what you say or counsel, you are seen as enemy of their progress or dream.

They ask you how hard gburu is. When you tell them it is like life sentence in prison. They tell you they have millions saved ready to buy ticket and visa!

Even worse, some older people are also on their way out to Prison Paradise.

So in the Western or Eastern countries, tooth do not fall off? Once fix, you do not have to go back and back until it is properly done.

Obviously, you are not sure of what Nepo-children means.

It is an insult to call "AJ to Geoffrey" that work their butts off without nepotism, Nepo-children.

QuinQQ:
But that was 2010. Today is a different story.

In 2010, it was a minority of Black African Diaspora.

Today, it is worse. It is minority of Africans that do not want to be called African.

I guess you have not heard about Nepo-African children. Their parents do not even speak African languages to them. They lecture their parents that just as their parents like to be called African because they were either born there or grew up in Africa.

Nepo Children love being called European or American for the same reason their parents love being called African. The only time they come to Africa is on short vacation or when one of the parents die!

Don' Call Me An African

The cost of this self inflicted inferiority complex is enormous. It destroyed our economy and those of African communities in Diaspora. We do not patronize ourselves anymore turning us into consumers of other people’s services and products because subjectively, we see them as superior to ours. The minority middle class we want our image makers to celebrate push many to glaring crime, poverty and meager infrastructure foreigners see.

Many people take pride in being called Native or Indian American, Italian American, Irish American, and Polish American, etc but don’t dare call this black man African or African American. It was only yesterday he was called Negro and later graduated to black. It takes a while, please, to get adjusted to African or African American. A popular singer said: he is an American period; otherwise everybody is African American in man’s origin. Relatively, the denials are not that many but they heavily put Africans at economic peril.

One Trinidadian university student once told Stokely Carmichael all African slaves died in the sea. Stokely, an American Civil right activist born in Trinidad, said his ancestors must be seamen. At the same time, they claim we are all Africans, as long as black, white and green are included going back to the migration of man from the Continent. The comfort in it has to do with lack of inferiority complex attached to African origin of man. Black or African American is based on a sole African relationship. Socio-economic disarray within Africans, West Indians or African Americans disenfranchised us of economic power.

We also have those that just want to be called Nigerian, Jamaican, British, or American period – black, white or green. The complex shows with the way some protest against or how they deny any association with Africa, even in Africa. We have been cautioned that black Australians have never been associated with Africa and they would be mislabeled if called African. This is ignorance on their part since black Australians are fully related to Africans by geo-anthropology. Identity of the minds revolution across waters is overdue.

Informed Africans from Africa or Africans in America or Europe are not free from this form of inferiority complex either. Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba pride themselves as Oyinbo, Fulani, Jews, Aje-butter, Akada or Adaka. So they patronize or kill for the goods, services and religion not theirs. “Colonial mentality” passed on to kids discouraged to speak local native languages at ages best suited for bilingual training. The freed slaves brought back to Liberia assumed different culture to the indigenes. The same is true in East African where some refer to their Arabian ancestors, even with darker skin than Africans.

African freed slaves from Brazilian quarters in Lagos and other coastal cities in Nigeria still refer to countries they have never been while those in the North, Central and South American and Arab world struggle to keep their culture closer to the point of their great grand/parents departure. So it is not unusual to hear an African Diaspora dialect difficult to catch. A perfect Yoruba may sound archived to the new generation in home Country.

Therefore this inferiority complex is not limited to Africans in Diaspora but to some of us at home. We know the basic reason some downplay our association with the so called “Dark Continent”. While the candidacy of Obama in America brought pride to Africans including tiny Basra in Iraq, it created envy between Africans just coming from home and some that have been there before Columbus without their chance to be President.

The factor of inferiority complex and first come first served, in combination, bring out discomfort rarely seen in others from Germany, Poland or Russia. The Irish American welcome Irish from old Country and so do Italians and others but when it comes to West Indians and Africans in America, there is some uneasiness spreading the welcome mat.

Africans in Africa are just the opposite. Their welcome mat for Africans from Diaspora is so long, those who have lived abroad and experience opposite treatment from African Americans become envious. If you wonder why we were so readily taken slaves by the missionaries and re-discoverer, it is because we generally treat strangers well.

The opposite is true in the case of those we patronize even when their products and services are not superior. Until recently American cars are the norm in United States and those buying foreign cars are seen as either unpatriotic or so rich, foreign cars was one of their fleet of cars. Politicians would sell their foreign made cars before contesting for elections. Workers of auto plants could be fired for buying foreign cars for some other excuses. These biases have diminished but are coming back with the recession.

Foreign auto makers got smarter and stated to build and assemble, manufacture car and truck in the USA. Not only has jobs been created in for the locals any bias against foreign cars and services has divided the communities between American makers and foreign plants in the Country. In Nigeria, where foreign contracts reigns, they left local assembly plants to purchased cars overseas until our assembly plants closed. Self hatred is suicide.

From self inflicted inferiority complex to loss of business in the African communities to loss of jobs within consumers of other people’s products that are makers of none. The best contracts in African countries have foreign taste. In African American communities, even sneakers are not made there but the advertisers are African American sport heroes pushing products and services outside their communities like African politicians.

The basis of our economic problems that turns us into consumers of other peoples’ products and manufacturers of nothing was demonstrated as far back in the fifties when African children in the United States prefer white baby dolls to black baby dolls. CNN’s Anderson Cooper replicated the same studies 60 years later and still found the same results. We cannot blame the white society for pushing their products and services in their best interest. The fact that same study still apply to our children in Africa or in Diaspora shows that we do not buy in our own interest. Self-discrimination is economic.

Since we hate what we produce, we pay with the little we are given for raw materials.

Don’t Call Me An African

It is this celebration of Nepo children that are being miseducated abroad that will encourage more money launderers, looting and bankrupt African countries.

What degree and skill do these Nepo kids learn that cannot be acquired in Nigeria or any African country?

Even graduates and professors in African studies abroad are given national recognition while genuine African professors and graduates in these areas at home are ignored.

Which god did Africans offend that did us dis tin?

Very impressive young men.

Money-Miss-Roads that are supposed to invest their privileges and loots are not. But they acquire Vanities they enjoy temporarily but become their burden for life.

We blame Lazy Youths, their start-ups all over the country is amazing without internal investment in their projects.

I do not care if foreigners believe in them and invest millions that the looters would not.

Trump will change the place to Paradise for American Tourists vacation. If you do not know the value of what you have Chagori abi weytin be ime name self will turn it into Eko Atlantic.

Legendhero, ai de warn you. Mind yourself o!

All the gragra young Alafin from Canada made on Ooni of Ife has backfired.

He could have come humbly and respect everyone even as Alafin.

Buy he was advised that once he slayed Ooni, all other Oba would follow his leadership.

Governor Makinde has humbled him making Oba of Ibadan, Ladoga the Chairman of the Oba council.
