Quintessence44:
The problem is YOU.

Get rid of your inferiority complex.

When you feel inferior, you will only see the bad things in Africa and the black world.

The minute you rid yourself of racial inferiority complex, you will start to see the things that MILLIONS of FOREIGNERS who visit and settle in Africa and the black world every year, see in us, from our food to our culture, to our hospitality, to our vibrant cities, picturesque rural regions, fast-growing economies with vast opportunities for business and investment, to our music and film industries exploding in popularity across the world.

Today, 11 of the 20 fastest growing economies in the world are black African or black Caribbean.

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Fastest-Growing-Economies_Oct-20.jpg

As we speak, 20,000 black Americans have left the USA to live in Ghana just in the last 2 to 3 years.

They don't have your inferiority complex which says everything black is bad and ''behind the world'' and such rubbish.

Or they would have moved to Norway.

Use your time and energy to help build up and promote your continent instead of feeling inferior.

You are not totally correct.
It's not inferiority complex but the sad truth is that Africa is lagging behind in developmental strides globally. Many Asian countries were like this especially the south east Asians but with political and economic reforms they are now on a path to greatness..... Africa has a lot to learn from them.

That 20k blacks have moved to Ghana isn't because of any patriotism but an economic strategy.... Europe and America is becoming too expensive to live in so thousands of Migrants are retiring to Latin America , Asia and Africa
But one thing you are very right about is the insane affiliation of our people for anything foreign. It's insane that Nigerians even don't want to eat food grown here especially rice... And tomorrow we will be wondering why the naira is so weak

Sunnyconvo:
Hello all,

Why is every large community of black people in this world behind? Africa is a country with a majority of black people and it is known all around the world as a third world continent and is used as an example of world hunger.

In America here, black people are only about 14% of the population yet they are responsible for over 50% of the crimes committed. Yes I know we have dealt with racism and colonization but can this really give such a hard blow to an entire people like this? Moreover, why did we suffer from colonization and slavery in the first place. What was it with us that we could not stand strong as a nation? Was it really a bad hand that led to almost an entire people being colonized or enslaved?

You look at Italy, they are known highly for many things like their food, art and architecture. Germany is known for many things including technology, philosophy. Japan is also known for many things such as it’s advanced technology. What is Nigeria known for?

Today look at Nigeria and other black African countries economically, how do they fare to European countries? It is only their will that is stopping them from conquering us again.

Other peoples promote themselves and their people. They are at least somewhat not too narrow-minded to see that the state of affairs of their people also affects them.

I know no people is anywhere near perfect and you can argue that other countries are actually worse but it is less obvious. Still I will say why is it us that must shine as the examples of inferiority for the world?

Calm down bro
Don't be too hard on yourself as a black man
There are poor European countries too
And many homeless Europeans and Americans
While
There are also very rich black countries like Nigeria
Nigeria is not a poor country but a rich country with poor leadership.
If Africans get leadership right then theres hope for Africa....

Floky215:
But it's same moslems that would give them the opportunity and enabling environment to invade by their actions just like Hamas did on Oct 7th..!!

If Hamas didn't invade and be killing people house to house in Israel on Oct 7th almost all those killed since then would still have been alive today...!!

The moslem also have their own problems akd causes most of the invasion to happen...see what Houthis are doing today to innocent shipping lines..if the Americans and her allies decides to invade today, who would you blame..?
Is it the Americans and her allies or the Houthis who gave them the enabling environment to invade..?

People like you pretend Israel Palestine issue just began on Oct 7.

And the West didn't do anything to warrant Muslims becoming what they are....Muslims just woke up and began blowing up westerners.

You be hypocrite

Love800:
Explain this.

Simple
Either open a restaurant
Or
Get a stand where you will be selling cooked food from

Solofresh2:
Add more money because I don't think that money can start any tangible business except if you want sell akara for junction

You will be surprised how much one can make from Akara especially if you find a good spot

Randal:
Hello, it's not news that we're in a new year and we all have desires to start something to make money.

I have 200k and I don't know where to put it and make good profits.

Please give Me ideas.

Buy and sell foodstuffs
If you can add more value by cooking = more money

Jokerman:
Another pain for haters 😂

Why him no dey wear black on black clothes again?
The shaman failed him

mii4u:
The day dat peter obi will reply him is the day he will stop all these nonsense, but Peter obi is too busy to notice him. Reno is seriously craving obi's attention.

The born am well make e reply Reno..... Ordinary Dino torment am.... PO wan cry

He won't reply Reno
He knows that's what Reno is waiting for so that he will write a book on peter Obi..... The way Obj did Atiku in with that his book.

PO better resist the temptation to ever reply him or else the day he does Reno will reveal a secret about him which many don't know (maybe the cult he joined that asked him to be wearing black clothes)

Any Politician wet get sense will either avoid or try to bring into their camp these guys

Reno Omokri
FFK
Dino Melaye
Fayose
And Finally wicked wike

Give it to PBAT he is a master of the game. Except for Dino..... All these other guys are with him
Haters can go hug transformer

Bigkoko:
Say it's people from that region that are cowards. Do you know what personal and business sacrifice a lot of people have done to save Nigeria?

I know a section of Nigeria that have been trying to make everyone see that things are not going well, what did you guys reward them with?

Abeg allow the breakfast to go round. Let the sophisticated morons turn mugu. After they have all turn beggars and ridiculed by the street, then if G-d permit, we go try to save una small.

See how wicked they're. After voting in crooks fraudsters certificate forgers riggers coupists and broad daylight murderers, they will Japa leave una wey no see road!

Didn't you people know things are not working well in Nigeria when PDP was ruling for 16 years that it was when APC came to power that you people suddenly realised that?

Allow APC people rule too. When they get displaced they too will become like you and start seeing that things are not going well in Nigeria.

Who be MUMU

kingsways:
And the answer is that the average Nigerian is very selfish and a big coward

Very Selfish Cowards.
Those one that sells all their belongings to japa are the most foolish. I kept asking if the citizens of the palaces you are all running to had ran away like you....will you have anywhere to run to

But me I'm not bothered.....most japarians are people that already have more than most of us and if people say they want to willingly enslave themselves in 2023....what's my business.

NapoleonHill:
Who has noticed the unprecedented level of combative tribalism that has taken over our timeline?

It seems the short break on Nairaland led to the exodus of the tribal elements to Twitter. The kind of banters and ethnic bashing is unbelieve.

What a mess.

I always laugh when people open threads on nairaland to complain about tribalism.... Nairaland dey play where twitter and Facebook dey....
What made twitter (X) worse of recent is Elon who gave the impression that he won't be gagging free speech and the monetization..... People just started saying whatever they liked .... He had to travel to Israel to appease the Jews for all the anti semitic rants he allow on Twitter

Okoroawusa:
Any you believed Gidgiddy? A person that we don't know whether he is Obidient, IPOB or even ESN...dey play

Gidygiddy is someone that love the east.
It's that love that blind him to the facts.
His argument has always been that the insecurity in the east is overhyped and overflogged in the media.

He could be Right.....as I don't see the difference between east and the rest of the country.

Where I disagree with him is his assertions that the atrocities in the east is not by ESN UGM but DSS operatives.
Yes DSS could be involved in some staging but the vast majority of the killings and destruction is carried out by ESN UGM ..... something he doesn't agree which shows his insincerity

madridguy:
We Nigerians should start calling out our governors. Those people are our biggest obstacles. They're just there, receiving monthly allocations, pay little civil servants salary and pocket the rest of the money.

Na ORTOM of benue 2015-2023 you describe so.
His own worse he was not even paying salary and pension.
When it's 20th of the month dude will start making issues out of the security situation and whip up sentiments . Then month end no salary but the people won't talk because he is fighting Fulani herders
That's how he refused to pay salaries because he is fighting herders......does fighting herders stop you from paying salaries and pension?

Blankstare:
Apapa faction is rather deepening our democracy with their stand on how the rule of law should be obeyed .

Usurpers won't know what deepening democracy means

Peter Obi really fall hand with his role in their LP matter..... But I like the way he showed be isn't any different from those he seek to replace....it's only the headless mob that seems not to know this.
The way he ended up on LP is a disgrace to someone who claim to want to do things differently.

nnamdi640:
Always defending evil, no wonder terrorism won't depart from you g*ys. You mean Hamas was defending theirselves by killing innocent Israelites who were busy celebrating passover. What they did was to commit terrorism act, that is why nobody can save them from the hands of Isreal armies because the whole world knows that they committed evil act by killing innocent people. To be honest with you, you deserve the type of treatment Palastine is receiving from Isreal presently for saying that what Hamas did was to defend themselves.

If you don't see what Israel is doing as Evil and Terrorism then you are a very dishonest mudafuka and don't deserve my response again.
You think referring to me as whatever will make me not tell you the truth then you are really naive and now that I think of it .....it's a waste of time replying you

shortgun:
I know many of you are paid to label any opposing opinion as igbo.
If Tinubu was an Igbo man igbos will still not vote for him so stop crying about Tinubu cos most igbos are objective and detribalized.

But the most opposing voices are from igboland now?
Nobody needs pay anyone to label igbos as anything as you yourself acknowledge igbos will always be igbos
Fulani will always be Fulanis
So it's not wrong to label igbos as igbos

So I can also say you are paid to come and defend igbos too

I actually LOVE the last part of your submission. But it was only Obidients that wanted everyone to vote only Peter Obi....we keep telling them it's wrong.
I wanted to vote an igboman...but not Obi ....maybe if am ogbonnaya onu or Moghalu. But because the majority of igbos decided on Obi I respect the choice .
But what did igbos do
They began to hate everyone who was not for Obi especially Yorubas ..
The most annoying thing is igbos were saying they support Obi not because he is igbos but the most competent
And at the same time fighting people Yorubas that wanted to vote BAT not because he is Yoruba but because he is the most competent.

Hypocrites

joyandfaith:
Mentality deranged yorubas see people with contrary opinins as igbo. Tribalism is a disease. It is even worse that racism you accuse oyinbo people of. I wish you healing in 2024!!!

If you are not mentally deranged ...... where in the write up you quote did you see igbos

Show me please

Are you confusing pdp with igbos?

You really need see a psychiatrist ASAP because your hatred has made you lose your senses

And YES
YOU ARE IGBO.


come do wetin you wan do

joyandfaith:
Off point. You didn't address his concern.

All he highlighted as BAT sin are thing PDP and it's past leaders did over and over again without you lots saying anything.....but since you lost out of power you feel we have forgotten all your attrocities and how you failed woefully to develop or create the room for development. PDP era was full of graft , violence , poverty and misery at a time the government had lots of oil revenue.
Hide your face in shame .

Obj that was removing democratically elected governors illegally is your role model . Weldone
Talk something else abegi

nnamdi640:
More terrorists will go down, death to all terrorists and their supporters. Isreal is fighting a well justified fight, unlike Hitler that planned to rule the world. Confused set of people are comparing Isreal and Hitler, assuming Hamas didn't attack Isreal, do you think Isreal would have acted attack Palastine?

So is HAMAS defending a just Cause

Free2Fly:
Do you know what the Palestinians mean when they say "from the river to the sea"?

Id!ot, that's an expression to show their desire to destroy the Israelis and replace them.

No country will face what the Israelis are facing and do nothing.

Na LIE.
From river to the sea : The phrase was popularised in the 1960s as part of a wider call for Palestinian liberation creating a democratic state freeing Palestinians from living within Israeli as well as from other Arab regimes such as Jordan and Egypt.


But you want Palestinians to keep quiet in the face of all they have been going through in the hands of Israel this past 70years?
You be hypocrite

Yashita:
Dear MOD, let's push this to front page to get more sensitization.

Modified: I am a woman who has also lived in an Asian country for 2 years and got really worried why these race of women don't put unnatural hair on, but black women die for their hair in imitation.

And the reality is, these Asian countries saw the black woman's craziness and thirst for their own hair and decided to milk us out. I'm talking billions of dollars on a yearly basis.

We need to reorient ourselves, African woman!

Was surprised to know our women buy some of those artificial hair as much as 200k.
Least I saw that day was 100k..... 100k for hair?

nnamdi640:
Iran. Honestly, you guys including the Islamic Jihad are all confused set of people. Continue hating USA while they fight you guys with wisdom. Again, my love for Isreal is the way they are teaching Islamic Jihad the bitter lesson. .

You keep repeating the same thing like a rabid dog because you are empty up there.

Jews doing the same thing Hitler did to them
Or
The Romans did to them
Or
The Assyrians
To Palestinians only excites imbeciles like you. Even the Jews you pretend to love ..... because of the oxymoronic belief called Christian Zionism.....don't care about your miserable existence

shortgun:
No igbo person dead or alive have persistently denigrate, mocked, ridiculed and dished out lies about any ethnic group unprovoked in Nigeria the way Reno Omokri is doing.

Dey play
Wetin you go call what igbos have been doing to BAT since ?

So e dey pain una if them insult una.....but you think you have the monopoly of insulting othe tribes elders abi?

Una never see anything

You still think igbos can intimidate anybody in this Nigeria in 2023?...you lot have been demystified and made a laughing stock.

PBAT and PMB proved anyone can become Nigerias president without igbo votes. So do what you wish with your 5% irrelevant votes

Fujiyama:
^^^
But your government is still subsidizing fuel imports...so you are right back where you started. Or didn't you know that?

They said they are not and I believe them.
Why?
You lots seems to forget NNPC signed an agreement with AFDB to provide funds for future crude. That's what did the magic that enabled Government be able to sell at this pace because NNPC brings in the product at a price less the market rate so it can sell at the current rate.
So no more subsidy.
But I cant force you to believe otherwise if you are not willing to open your eyes to facts

Edusouls:
she is an Igbo woman keeping his family together for him till death, what most Yoruba women can’t even do, one reason most successful Yoruba men go for Igbo woman don’t mind Yorubas their tribalism is the worst in the whole Nigeria, I pity all those naive Igbo young women marrying there, in future they would understand their mistakes not now

Which one be most successful yorubamen go for igbo ladies
Care to name any? Apart from the usuals..... Adelekes , Rhodes vivour etc

Abegi

The vast majority of rich yorubamen are married to yorubas

broadman20:
And salary nko?

I know it is not increasing globally just like NIGERIA.

Keep deceiving yourself.

Is salary not increasing in Nigeria?
It is.
Both in public and private.
If your employer hasn't increased your salary this years....hold him responsible.

And by first qaurter 2024 new minimum wage will commence

HarunaWest:
Tor if that's the case, the CBN normally injects funds to distressed banks for a period of time to see if they can recoup their loss. Mine is Skye bank was hastily sold to the Katsins Mafia. Even keystone bank is in their grips as well.

They did before selling it to Amcon. They do that to ensure stability of the financial system and assure investors
