You don't seem to get my point

Look
Nkrumah, lumumba, lugumba, Nkiru, cucumber or what ever they call themselves as well as all African leaders (kings, chiefs) of close to a milenium now are failures and are a disgrace to themselves, their people as well as the whole world
They all collectively failed their people

I wonder if you are African - if you are and you actually make fun of African names then you really ought to be ashamed of yourself - The white man laughs at you and mocks your names and you in turn jump on the bandwagon by mocking your own names - you are in the complete grip of self hatred.

If you had even an iota of knowledge of African history you would understand that Africans were not the passive victims that you are trying to paint us to be, our ancestors actually fought for many years against the European slave traders and colonialists, I would advise you to research African history before making sweeping statements which perpetuate the myth of the superiority of the white man.

One glaring fact that you have failed to acknowledge was that the Europeans had the advantage of the gun which was used to massacre many of us and eventually force us into submission. If i am to use your absurd logic that would also make the Aztecs of South America, the Apache of north America and the Zulus of South Africa ( all brilliant warriors) failures for the defeat that they suffered at the hands of Europeans. Only someone who has no knowledge of history and the trials and tribulations of oppressed peoples all over the world would make such a ludicrous statement.

The fact that africans allowed themselves to be used as slaves for more than 500yr as well as let themselves get even futher colonised and neo-colonized even futher to this present day is a testement to how hopeless and useless they have been for the past milenium

Once again I refer you to my statement above. Africans did not ALLOW themselves to be colonised we fought back and were defeated, the same way the Japanese fought the Americans and had an atomic bomb dropped on them by the US. Would you refer to the Japanese as failures?
Did you watch the video I posted - if you did and you still believe that Africans ALLOWED neo colonialism then I would advise you to go and re-watch the video as you obviously did not understand what it was about.
the dictionary definition of neo colonialism is:

the use of economic, political, cultural, or other pressures to control or influence other countries, especially former dependencies.

Note the use of the world "economic" I have cited below an excerpt from an article about how Nkrumah's attempt to industrialise Ghana was completely scuppered by forces beyond his control:

[b]If Ghana was to become a modern industrial nation, it needed both industry and the power to fuel that industry and provide the continent with its first industrial revolution. The Volta dam was originally the brain child of Britain, but the colonial power was shrinking from the world stage and in doing so, began to withdraw its financial and project support from its former colonies. During his campaign, Nkrumah's platform was founded on the idea of modernization, but without funding for the Volta river project, there was no way that dream could become a reality.

Nkrumah set back out for America to sell the project to then President Eisenhower who took an immediate interest. Ghana at the time was literate, wealthy (as a result of its already profitable cocoa exports, and made a great business prospect for America. And the benefits to America as a young world superpower were two-fold:

First, the manufacturing process for a new metal called aluminum had been discovered, and aluminum ore was abundant in Ghana.

Second, the worlds energy prices were raising, and having access to a cheap source of electricity with which to process aluminum would have greatly increased the profit margins and reduced processing costs for the manufacture of the metal.

President Eisenhower contacted California based Kaiser Aluminum, the world's largest aluminum manufacturer, to exploit the opportunity and fund the project. The assumption that America would mine Ghana's bauxite and use the Volta dam's electricity meant two new large income streams and industries that would assure Nkrumah's dream of an industrial revolution. However, Kaiser Aluminum had different plans. They would only use Ghana's cheap electricity – importing aluminum ore from other places in the world, and then exporting the aluminum back to America. The thought was that if the operation became too profitable, Nkrumah could nationalize the dam project and cut America out completely.

Nkrumah was crushed. The aluminum industry would have done for Ghana what the steel industry had done for the United States. Nkrumah ultimately had to agree to America's terms if he wanted the dam to be built, but as an additional stipulation, he had to raise $30 million on his own.

He sought help from the World Bank, an operation initially set up to fund the recovery effort in post WWII Europe, but which later became a source of funding for the rest of the world. Nkrumah's young new country was now indebted to the World Bank, and the dam became a leash by which the United States could control Nkrumah and exploit the country.

Now what is your understanding of the above excerpt?
Did the US assist or block Ghana's economic development?
Would it be fair to say that Nkrumah was a failure after reading the above excerpt?
Why did the US company chose to import bauxite rather than buy directly from Ghana where it had sited its aluminium smelting company?

Now do you understand that your simplistic understanding of neo colonialism is not simply about ALLOWING others to take advantage of you its about dealing with the reality of what you are faced with on the ground. Ghana TRIED to exert full control over their financial destiny but were unable to do so due to the reality of what they were faced with.


There is no excuss for such foolishness

Just a number of men not numbering up to 10,000 where able to to subdue the continent and keep it in boundage for more than half a milenium
This doesn't speak right for any set of people

Your statement is simplistic and does not even begin to tap the surface of what really happened as stated in my response above.

The fact that they also allowed themselves to
be brainwashed by the same set of people who enslaved, stole, plunder and killed them (arabs, white) puts their foolishness and stupidity on a very shameful level

Again you lack understanding of how Africa was colonised, I would like to see how you would react if someone put a gun to your head and threatened to pull the trigger if you didn't comply.


Weither white, green, yellow or red people are out to bring you down
No one will take you seriously till you rise up to the challenge and defend yourself and take control of your destiny

Easier said than done, have you ever been in a war zone? How would you like to witness having your loved ones butchered before your very eyes. Its easy to be an armchair warrior from the safety of your living room.

In the america the police have continued to harass and kill the black people there
What have the black people done
Nothing order than protesting and rioting

Do you live in the US? If yes, give yourself a big slap for talking out of your back passage. Do you think you would be able to walk down any street in the US without being harassed by whites if black americans hadn't fought for equal rights after they were emancipated from slavery . Have you seen the pictures of black American men and women who were lynched and burnt at the stake by white lynch mobs for simple things like making eye contact with white people.? Do you think you could go to school or eat in the same restaurant as a white person in the US if not for the sit ins, marches and protests that got many of them killed in the 1960s?
Just in case you still don't get it black americans make up only 13% of the population of the US in other words they are a minority - what hope in hell do you think a tiny minority will have against a white majority population that has done nothing but murder, ra.pe and brutalise them throughout history.

I don't know if you know this but the last group of people who rose up against the white majority in north America were the native Americans and guess what happened to them - yes you guessed it majority of them were exterminated by the US military. Is that what you want to happen to black americans?

Despite the huge odds stacked against them, black americans have actually been courageous enough to fight back. Ever heard of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Stokely Carmichael, Huey Newton, Marcus Garvey?


Oh I forgot
Black people don't want to die
They are not ready to die for their believe
Same attitude that allowed them get enslaved and colonized for centuries

If you are not ready to die for your believe
You are not ready to be free

So let me get this right why were Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, the vast majority of the Black Panthers, Thomas Sankara, Patrice Lumumba, Samora Machel, and many more unsung AFrican heroes murdered again?

Black people know what to do to rescue themselves from their current mess
Till they are ready to do it
No one will take them seriously

see my comments above


Also
Gadaffi is not an african
He has arab blood in him
He is also a criminal
I do not take criminals seriously no matter what good they do

And the US and British govt are run by saints I guess? Was the transatlantic slave trade not a criminal enterprise?

How about the US's overthrow of democratically elected leaders (Iran, Haiti, Nicaragua, Grenada, Ghana, Congo) , their bombing and invasion of sovereign nations in contravention of international law (Iraq, Libya); and their imposition of economic blockades against sovereign nations for over 5 decades (Cuba) - are these not criminal activities?

The two party system is a farce.

Of course it is!!

Its the same thing in the UK, either you vote Conservative - the right wing racists whose policies are widening the gap between rich and poor or you vote New Labour who pretend as if their policies are not widening the gap between rich and poor!!

Whats the difference between the two - one tells you to your face that they will do everything possible to make your life a misery while the other does exactly the same thing but lies about it.

Theflint1- just to add - If Trump were to become president - first of all he would revert back to business as usual which means he would become a puppet of the Western multinational corporations, arms manufacturers and international banking mafia (World Bank, IMF) just like Obama, Bush, Clinton and all of the other US presidents before them

All current African presidents (with the exception of Mugabe) have been bought and paid for by Washington and London and will never go up against the US or Britain for fear of assassination attempts, economic sanctions or at worst bombing campaigns by NATO (see the case of Libya, Ivory Coast and Zimbabwe as examples) therefore they will tow whichever line they are told to tow.

Therefore unless there is a revolution in the majority of African countries which uproots these rotten puppets and their equally corrupt puppet masters I cant see anything changing.

Bro, I think a Donald Trump presidency benefits Africa. Why? Trump is a racist scum and he isn't ashamed to show it but the other guys are sleazy and covert in their racists views and ideologies, comparable to a Greek gift. With Trump, African leaders will know where they stand and would have no choice but to look inwards and become self-sufficient. What do you think?

Trump is an opportunistic user who does not wish Africa well. you need to research his background and find out more about his devious dealings. He uses cheap immigrant labour to amass wealth for himself and then preaches against immigration to dumb americans who don't understand how the world works.
US foreign policy is based on exploitation of Africa and if he were to win the presidential elections he would have to comply with it - don't worry about the BS he says now, he's just telling some ignorant americans what they want to hear in order to get elected.

Every US president who wants to stay alive must follow US foreign policy and the ones who don't get murdered like Kennedy.

Check out the US's track record in Africa, they supported the apartheid system of south Africa and declared Nelson Mandela a terrorist, they bombed Libya and backed the bombing of Ivory Coast in order for their puppet Allassane Ouattara to become president, they collapsed the economy of Zimbabwe in order to trigger an uprising against Mugabe as they are in support of the bulk of the land of that country remaining in the hands of white racist farmers. they even supported Nigeria against the Biafran seccessionists during the Nigeria/Biafra civil war they are not our friends they are our enemies.

Are people still on this topic

Fact is
No one takes black people seriously
And it will continue being that way till black people are ready to prove that they are not just mediocre set of human beings who are incapable of proper reasoning and development

They also need to prove that they are not worthy slaves (they are all not in control of their destiny and development) and are not just human beings without shame who enjoy being in a mess

Till then
They can all continue wallowing in their self pity and delusion born out of short sightedness, unseriousness as well as lack of vision and mental muscle

If I recall correctly Lumumba and Nkrumah were far from mediocre, Gadaffi was certainly not mediocre look at the underground man made river that is described by western engineers as the world's largest irrigation project - would you call that mediocre ?

Why was Lumumba killed by the americans and the Belgians, how about Nkrumah why was he overthrown by the americans Lets face up to the truth of the matter - the white man does not want the progress of the black man and whenever the black man attempts to achieve self determination he is sabotaged, frustrated or outright murdered by the west.

PS: Gadaffi was Tony Blair's business associate and close friend until he decided to create the African gold dinar which would have broken Europe and America's stranglehold over Africa's economic destiny - after he did that he became a marked man. OPEN YOUR EYES!!!

vislabraye:
I don't understand why successful people feel like committing suicide. It bothers me. But I notice this sort of suicide is common in the West.
It's a pity.

Not everything is as it seems on the surface.

Just because someone smiles and appears to be happy doesn't mean they are actually happy.

Many people in the West are lonely and live a double life, especially black people in the entertainment industry. One minute you are the talk of the town and everyone wants to be your best friend forever and the next minute no-one invites you anywhere and stops returning your phone calls. The worst part of it is that once your star starts fading and work stops coming in you cant go and get an ordinary job as you will find it embarrassing to start mingling with ordinary people again, this is why many of them either end up on drugs, in mental institutions or dead- its really sad.

Police and family members spent 7 hours trying to talk him down from throwing himself off a bridge:

British actor and Tommy Hilfiger model Sam Sarpong, 40, has jumped to his death from a bridge despite family and police spending seven hours trying to talk him down.



The TV presenter, who co-hosted MTV's Yo Momma show alongside Wilmer Valderrama, toppled from the Colorado Street bridge in Pasadena, Los Angeles.

County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner confirmed the star died yesterday in an apparent suicide, but added that the official cause of death will not be known until the results of toxicology results come through.

Donald trump is best white american president candidate i have ever seen, everything he said is fact about africans we need to re-think. we are lazy mentally,physically and spiritually. we embezzle our wealth and import even tooth pick. we know nothing than to make money,build houses and chase women about. shame to blackman!

African American labour built the United States and made it what it is today. If Africans are lazy how was this possible? African labour also built South Africa and made it what it is today - do you know anyone who would use an entire race of people as slaves if they were lazy?

The US govt has been responsible for overthrowing every progressive African head of state eg Lumumba, Gadaffi, Nkrumah, Murtala Muhammed etc They were also responsible for assisting the apartheid govt of South Africa in tracking Mandela when he was on the run which eventually led to Mandela's subsequent capture and imprisonment so please spare me your ignorant BS. The US is not your friend, never has been and never will be.

The US built its wealth on the backs of your African ancestors who they enslaved, ra.ped and murdered and in doing so became the richest country on the planet. To date the US incarcerates more black people than any country on earth, they also sided with Nigeria against Biafra during the Nigeria/Biafra civil war.
Donald Trump is a vicious racist who uses and exploits black people and uses immigrants as cheap labour in his companies. Just the other day it was discovered that he uses illegal immigrant labourers to work on his construction sites because he can pay them peanuts- he is a cheap opportunistic user, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!

He is pandering to xenophobic electorates. The problem with that strategy is that the bloc is not enough to win any election. The Republican establishment do not like him too because he can run his own campaign without taking huge donations from special interests that controls american politics.

We have similar scum bag politicians here in the UK - David Cameron and his party are the most right wing racist scum you will ever meet in your life and they regularly play the illegal immigrant card to get ignorant English people to vote them into office. Therefore the use of xenophobia by politicians is a vote winner for politicians as it yields a lot of easy votes.

Trump can not win the presidential elections in the US because the lobbyists and the corporations that they represent are more powerful than the politicians, therefore if by some mistake he were to get into office he would still have to deal with them and if he refused to play ball, lets just say he would end up in a very nasty situation, so it is virtually impossible for him to become president without having them on side.

Cap28 what's your thought process on this rubbish by the bigoted fool Trump.

Trump to me is nothing more than a comedy side show who is being used by the media to entertain and distract the largely brain dead American electorate. The powers that be already know who will win the presidential elections and it definitely isn't going to be him but they have allowed him to provide some light entertainment to what would have otherwise been a dull presidential campaign.

To me Trump is in the same category as George W Bush - stu.pid, racist, insular, totally ignorant about the rest of the world and proud of it. The sad thing about him is that he is totally unaware of just how awful he is and because he surrounds himself with yes men 24/7 he actually thinks he is in with a chance, he is the epitome of self delusion.

Having said that I don't think he wrote that article - and if he did I don't think he did so with the intention of it being placed in the public domain. I have no doubt in my mind that he does actually feel that way about Africans because his racist views are well known to those who have been unfortunate enough to spend more than 5 minutes around him. But I think his legion of publicisits, personal assistants and other sycophants who work for him would prevent him from making such utterances in public for fear of the very negative backlash that might follow.

Lol. They will never understand the utter destruction Iweala vested on them. After committing the biggest ponzi scheme in history by paying a debt that no country in history have never paid - apart from Russia that defaulted on its debts once, and just paid it off the 2nd time to avoid another default, so as to be welcomed into the club of big players. But to these clowns, that was a big achievement and they had to get her back in there - to further sell them back into financial slavery. And the 2nd time - she ran up the debts at the speed of sound. And they still laud her, yet you wonder why these folks are utterly poor and miserable? They're just black zombies.

Have you read the poem the great Ben Okri dedicated to Jeremy Corbyn? This is the poem:

They say there is only one way for politics.
That it looks with hard eyes at the hard world
And shapes it with a ruler’s edge,
Measuring what is possible against
Acclaim, support, and votes.

They say there is only one way to dream
For the people, to give them not what they need
But food for their fears.
We measure the deeds of politicians
By their time in power.

But in ancient times they had another way.
They measured greatness by the gold
Of contentment, by the enduring arts,
The laughter at the hearths,
The length of silence when the bards
Told of what was done by those who
Had the courage to make their lands
Happy, away from war, spreading justice
And fostering health,
The most precious of the arts
Of governance.

But we live in times that have lost
This tough art of dreaming
The best for its people,
Or so we are told by cynics
And doomsayers who see the end
Of time in blood-red moons.

Always when least expected an unexpected
Figure rises when dreams here have
Become like ashes. But when the light
Is woken in our hearts after the long
Sleep, they wonder if it is a fable.

Can we still seek the lost angels
Of our better natures?
Can we still wish and will
For poverty’s death and a newer way
To undo war, and find peace in the labyrinth
Of the Middle East, and prosperity
In Africa as the true way
To end the feared tide of immigration?

We dream of a new politics
That will renew the world
Under their weary suspicious gaze.
There’s always a new way,
A better way that’s not been tried before.


Ben Okri and his revolutionary beret - absolute legend. His speech at the remembrance ceremony of Steve Biko will always give me goosebumps. I met him once during Uni days and I'll never forget how happy I was shaking his hands. Salute. grin

I've always respected Ben Okri and I bought "The Famished Road" when it came out many years ago therefore I was pleasantly surprised when Jeremy Corbyn quoted one of his works during his recent speech at the Labour party conference. I have a good feeling about him, he is genuine and in touch with real people, I hope he becomes Prime Minister in 2020.

Honestly, when I first saw the trailer of the movie on worldstarhiphop a few weeks ago - I just checked it out cos I saw Idris Elba and the title "Beast of no nation" ( as you know I'm a big fan of Fela's music). I initially thought the whole thing was a black diaspora thing, using Fela's phrase, to tell a story of Sierra Leone - with Idris Elba playing his roots. I checked it out and Idris Elba killed the Krio accent and it was basically the same Sierra Leonean child soldiers story.

Then a few days later I saw the same thing on NL - and boom, it was an Iweala family thing. I just posted a comment about Idris Elba and how he killed the Krio accent, and left the thread. I didn't really want to get into the whole Iweala family's madness, before these simple-minded useful idiots start accusing me of jealousy and bigotry. I honestly don't know what's special about writing a stale story about child soldiers, to be honest.

You need to understand that a lot of these folks are functional illiterates. That's the same way they have been hyping Fashola all over this forum and the web today for mediocrity. Their standard is just troubling, especially for loudmouthed folks who think they're the brain-box of the black-world (hysterical lol). Who celebrates utterly corrupt non-achievers? I guess that's why when you start listing the greatest and most influential Africans/black people ever - you'll never see a Nigerian in the top-20, apart from maybe Fela Kuti.

Anyway, I think Danny Glover needs to go the Spike Lee route and open a paypal donour thing and I'm sure a lot black folks will donate to the project.

Absolutely agree.

As you know the Okonjo Iwealas are traitors therefore they are willing to sell their souls to the highest bidder as long as the price is right.

Ive got no problem with a film about Sierra Leonean child soldiers PROVIDED THE WHOLE STORY IS TOLD IE CHARLES TAYLOR'S CONNECTIONS TO THE CIA, ISRAELI DIAMOND SMUGGLERS AND THE FACT THAT CHARLES TAYLOR IS THE FIRST BLACK MAN IN HISTORY TO SUCCESSFULLY ESCAPE FROM A MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON IN THE US ONLY TO SHOW UP IN SIERRA LEONE MONTHS LATER ARMED TO THE TEETH AND READY TO OVERTHROW A SITTING GOVT. If Okonjo Iweala's son dealt with the above issues then I am ready to apologise to him right now for failing to acknowledge his courage, fearlessness and integrity but if as I suspect he steered clear of those topics then he can kiss my arse.

The youth in Nigeria are a tragedy, take a look at what the youth in Britain are doing today in order to get rid of the corrupt Tories , take a look at how they have rallied behind Jeremy Corbyn a man so simple in his lifestyle that he rides to work on a bicycle, a man who is so genuine he instills fear in the heart of the corrupt Tory govt, does an average Nigerian respect anyone who isn't rolling in money?

You're right.

Apart from the title which is intellectual theft - the storyline of the movie's basically more of Sierra Leonean child soldiers, that has already been told many times, with Idris Elba as the main character (due to his Sierra Leonean ancestry) than anything else. Nothing spectacular or original - just intellectual theft everywhere, without originality.

I believe he just followed Chimanmanda's blueprint of war story (stories like that sell a lot cos of how westerners are fixated on reading about tragedies in 3rd world countries), with a catchy and legendary phrase, from an African icon. Nothing special.

Thank you bruh.

The guy is mediocre to the core and had his surname not been Iweala - all these dumb sycophants who are kissing his arse wouldn't have given him 2 seconds of their time. Nigerians do not value actual creativity or intelligence only money, irrespective of where it comes from.

Hollywood will always pay attention to stories that focus on negativity in Africa but isn't it interesting that Danny Glover an African American cant get funding from Hollywood for his film about the Haitian revolution?

Fela's name has really suffered - imagine a family of criminals trying to pass off "Beasts of No Nation" as if it were their own idea.

Fela must be turning over in his grave knowing that a song title that he created which was about western imperialism and corruption is being used by a beneficiary of the same corrupt system. I hope Seun and Femi are incensed about the misuse of their father's legacy. Fela was a courageous and fearless warrior of social justice while traitorous Okonjo iweala is a greedy, western puppet who would do anything for money.

Shame on dumb Nigerians who worship this Judas Iscariot of a woman.

Chinom:



You are a very accomplished E.diot. Due credit was given to Fela for the use of the title. Femi sef fit collect small something just for the use of that title.

Besides, Fela's works belong to all Nigerians and the entire black nation at large. STOP HATING.

If only you had at least one brain cell in that big head of yours!

When will you hungry Nigerians learn to value creativity? The issue is not about whether he gave Fela credit for using his idea the issue is that he lacks the talent and imagination to come up with his own title - a clear cut sign that he is a low achiever who is only where he is in life as a result of mummy's connections and stolen money. Keep worshipping your oppressors - may be one day you can apply for a job as his personal driver. Ode!

^^^I think it's come to something else when a nobody like the bastard i'm quoting starts beefing on and finding fault with the achievements of an accomplished individual he can never measure up to.....even if given a million year head-start!

But then again we shouldn't really be surprised should we.....what with the bigoted antecedents of the sad git in question! wink

You are the reason that many women comitt abortions and I sympathise greatly with your poor mother as I can only imagine how disappointed she must have been when you were born.

Don't you think its rather presumptious of you to conclude that this young man is more accomplished than me when you have never met me before in your life? I do not blame you, I blame the doctors who failed to suffocate you at birth, believe me if they had done so they would have done the world a huge favour.

Now back to the topic - why do you hungry Nigerian wannabes worship the offspring of corrupt politicians who are only where they are in life due to the criminal activities of their parents? Your pathetic behaviour is the reason many if not most of you will die in poverty and ignorance. In civilised societies people like this young man are ignored or laughed at as it is obvious to anyone with half a brain cell in their heads that he is only where he is today not due to hard work or intelligence but because he was born with a stolen silver spoon in his mouth. This is clearly borne out by the fact that he is now trying to pass off the famous song title "Beasts of No Nation" as if it was his own idea. Real geniuses come up with their own ideas they don't pass off other people's ideas as their own and that's why Fela Anikulapo Kuti's name will go down in history as one of the greatest African musicians of all time while this nobody who has fed fat on stolen wealth from his fraudulent and criminal mother will remain an unknown wannabe. So continue to bow down not only to the same people who have had their foot on your neck for the past 50 years but to their offspring as you are too s.tupid and ignorant to even notice that you are an oppressed slave.

Absolutely. Nigeria women are just not conscious of the danger they are in. The energy we are supposed to use to protect ourselves in or out of marriage, we have expended the energy to fight to become a Mrs. Somebody. When you tell Nigerian women of these dangers, they feel you are trying to steal their husbands or something along tradition or religion. I'm just glad she's not giving up and got herself a lawyer.

This is the same way women were being treated in the western world until they started campaigning for changes in the law , that is why in the western world a man can not maltreat a woman and get away with it as there are laws which prevent such abuse. It is therefore the responsibility of every so called educated as well as non educated woman in Nigeria to campaign for justice for women and children.

You can imagine that this woman ran to the police and was totally ignored - men who abuse women are cowards and should be forced to face the full wrath of the law. In the west this man would not be allowed to throw her out of their matrimonial home especially given the fact that she has four children - everything is upside down in Nigeria.
