.Stokely Carmichael reminded us that West Indian countries were not built to be self-sufficient or successful but used as a sugar cane plantation. It is up to us to change Africa into a sustainable place that can trade within and negotiate fair and equal trade with the rest of the world. We cannot cry over the ways others protect their self-interest anywhere if we do not protect assets and talents at home. There is nothing wrong with loving yourself or your own people as others do, but everything wrong with self-hating and justifying their policies and insults against you

Grandstar you have comprehension problem. Otherwise the very first paragraph and the above should have solved your problem. Africans are capable and they have demonstrated that inside Africa by creating enabling environment in the jungles to create factories but more important in foreign countries where obstacles have been thrown at them.

We need more, not from outside but at home where they are too complacent. If it was not for their resilient DNA, Africans could have perished long time ago.

You mister, is part of the problem.

. quote author=grandstar post=80424496]Most of what he wrote here is gibberish. Writings such as these leave me seething. He has a poor understanding of how things work.

Ukraine is poor despite 930,000 of people of Ukrainian American. Ukrainians going back achieves nothing.

They say a fish rots from the head. Same with countries. As long as the head can't formulate policies that will change the economy, no amount of return will change things. Africans didn't ruin their economies. Their leaders did.

Also, there are developed black countries such as the Bahamas and Barbados. There are even some respectable ones such as Botswana and the Seychelles.

Returnees can make only the amount of change they are permitted to make or know how to make. A good example is Okonjo Oweala. She tried her best during the time of Jonathan's Presidency but the weak man did not follow all her advise.

If the Europeans all went back to develop their countries, there'd be no America to go.

Italy was transformed by Italians living at home even though over 9 million millions of their country men emigrated worldwide to all parts of the world. 2% of Scots have Italian blood. Sylvester Stallone , Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and so on are either 2nd or 3rd generation Italian Americans.

The article also neglects the fact that many African economies are growing quite fast and I am sure in 25 years time, many will by unrecognizable then. If the world hasn't come to an end by then, people like this writer will eat humble pie.

Great. This is a better way to spend money rather than the onstetatious display of vanities.

If the money was not stolen in the first place, there would be no need to take on this task.

It may not be popular thought looking at the way Okorocha was blasted for his education program.

Nice gesture, thanks.

You are talking to people with selfish interest that want to destroy the country by any means, that have supported every measure that destroyed middle class. Whenever they have the chance to to rule, they steal Nigeria blind and still cry for power.

Thanks for you patriotic messages.

Jacseyi:
The more people becoming successful the better the society.....If you as a man become successful, everyone around you would feel the impact. That's how society is.....If black Americans have the same opportunity with the white folks from the beginning America would have been closer to a perfect society. Lack of opportunity equals to imbalance and crime in any society.

Nigerian youths need more opportunities and jobs esp in the south. The north needs more investment in early education while govt needs to restructure the justice system and power supply. The solution to Nigeria problems would be solved by 80% minimum.

Make una see O!

When Trump tell una the same thing, you were happy and even praised him.

But when any African tell you, una dey fes.

gimakon:
dummy. Stop showcasing your foolishness on Nairaland. Yes, Igbo has realised your stupidity and we have started to fix our errs. Not just now, Long long long time ago... Anambara has moved businesses fulltime to Onitsha, Nnewi, Upper Iweka and co and the whole East now, thats why we have Innoson, etc and the likes.

with 20 pounds , we have given back Chisco, Coscharis motors, GUO and the likes, you think Chinese people come here because of You? Go tradefair, Ladipo and Nnewi and let the answer baffle your blindness.
Now we also have Aba who make clothiers and shoes and export (Just like Anambara too) at least they have started to do it in small commercial quantity. Now lets see Imo, Since oil has been discovered there , we are seeking to see if it can be in commercial quantity too. why do you think we clamour for biafra? You think we are as stupid and lazy as you? God forbid.

Igbo kwenu! I hail you guys biko. Them day struggle for power we day struggle development , yet them day beef us. Ndi Iberibe!

So you take "Development everywhere" but you reject Ruga Development?

Please save some of your "Development" for the East so that you will not be asked to "Go Back" to your ancestral land and fix it.

gimakon:
Hushup! The only tribe which actually practices the 'One Nigeria' policy is the Ibos . We have our properties everywhere and we take everywhere like our Lands. Hence if we take 'Development' to you you should be grateful.

People like you are the primary reasons Nigeria is as is today, Not that you have anything good to offer, you just have This Crap of a comment to offer and thats all. Nothing Meaningful.
If there comes a war today , you'd be the first to relocate to Benin Republic. At least the Northern people are becoming mindful of what they doing, You -> No single idea of what you doing. Who even buy phone give you sef?

It is hard to see Nigerians arguing on behalf of Trump and the Republicans that have lost their bearing and moral values so much that they have pushed their fellow party members out.

These are values some Nigerians are supporting. You then wonder how our country has gone to the dogs.

This reminds me of the discussion on Structural Adjustment and later on Devaluation. Look at how those two programs wiped out our middle class. These champions of schools of how to turn Africans and their descendants into serfs forever never stopped.

Even in the face of realities creating the poorest number of people on earth. As long as they serve their masters like Trump that is ready to sacrifice them at the alter of "freedom" in Libya.

Dumb Africans!

My God!

This Kanu guy is more obsequious than I thought, even foolish. Who told him the Fulani are retreating?

Their only fear is going to war without the support of the Middle Belt and the West. Obasanjo broke their camels' back after Danjuma have up on them.

Fulani have never fought any battle. They used Hausa against themselves to overthrow their own Dynasty by using religion. They claimed victory over Biafra but who fought the battle?

Give it to some of them, they now realize that without Obasanjo and Danjuma, they have already lost.

But, they will try again. Kanu: other Igbo know better, they are smarter than you boy.

Wait, so Yoruba are now NOBLE says Kanu. Since when?

RAGU Developers are not welcomed in the South but other developers go around Africa especially Yoruba land and they are accommodated or were accommodated.

It seems Developers do not like Developers.

This group of Trump supporters should not amaze us. They are more in line with Trump expediency than in principle.

World leaders condemned Trump but these Nigerians see Trump differently until they taste some of his policies. Even then, they will deny it and clean mouth.

One claimed he has been in the US for three years and never experience racism. Do you think he knows what racism is except when he is in Nigeria.

Ebele PhD, got a Mandate from all spectrum of Nigerians but was pushed to the extreme to satisfy greed of a few with impunity.

This minority of votes and substance will never stop to hala. They are now using every opportunity to blame others for Buhari Election

Blame yourselves and the failure of Jonathan.

The end of maximum Dictators are grim.

From Abacha in Nigeria to Mobutu in Congo to Idi Amin or Pinoche and many others. Aiyelala finally catch up with them

Buhari got a second chance.

Many of you guys are pathetic, really.

Is there anywhere in the South Fulani have not perpetrated their atrocities?

Many of you use every single opportunity to cry about who voted for Fulani. If Jonathan was that good, would anyone think twice about voting for him? This guy carried both North and South in his first election only to squander the goodwill.

Who was pushing him around? the same guys complaining now. During Jonathan reign you kept up emphasizing your tiny votes as if that was all that got him elected. You occupied every powerful position and left Nigeria worse than you met it. Even worse, Southsouth remained environmental disaster while you crowned DANSUKI your king and Father Christmas.

Instead of you to hide your face, you have the gut to blame Southwest for the same coalition you had with Fulani since Independence.

You nor dey shame? Ndi Ara!

One would think the parasitic billionaires among the Hausa/Fulani would caution them.

Fulani are lazy but smart enough to use others to fight for them. Hausa are loyal to them but if Biafra could not defeat Nigeria, what makes Fulani think they can defeat the rest of Nigerians is nothing short of Insanity.

Before Boko Haram attempted murder of Buhari in Kaduna, he had defended them, Ciroma openly said they would make Nigeria ungovernable and Maitatsine went wild. None were called to order or invited by DSS until they turned against Northerners. Buhari, no prayers can solve this. All Nigerians are not Hausa conquered by Fulani with prayers. You are waiting for war!

Deomelo,

Please mis-educate us again how Raufu Aregbesola has planted ranches all over Osun State to feed the whole South with O-Beef.

So what is all this wahala about Fulani cows?

BTW, those of you trying to divide Yoruba into Christians and Muslims, nor dey taya?

If you know of anywhere in the whole world where there is more religious tolerance than Yoruba land, let us know.

BTW, Wole Soyinka is neither Christian nor Muslim and he is against RUGA.

You know dog wey wan loss nor dey hia wisle.

Who destroyed Syria, Libya, Zimbabwe or Nigeria. You don spoil your countari finish you dey look for anoda place wey you go destroy.

The South Americans trying to get into USA paid more money to kayoti than you. The poor in their countries cannot afford kayoti.

They are like Nigerians fleeing "shittass" country.
You will live in consentration camps, drink toilet water or get bombed in Libya, drown on raft boats and get roasted like suya before your dead body eye go clear in hell.

Which other country do you know or built to put a welcome mat for you? Until you are treated outside for your gread, you will never learn.

Point to one community you or your ancestors have ever built apart from those who loved their
own community.

Ugosample:
what is this one saying?

smh

you really think NiggerArea led by a Buhari, cheered on my millions of dumb, uneducated almajiris, agberos and cultists have a future?

Syria was once like Nigeria
the ones who smelt a rat ran away

but those living under the illusion of "I am doing well in Syria" remained there
now Syria is done for, and that "comfortable" life they thought they were living is now a mirage and they are now refugees


NiggerArea is on the brink of implosion
many have seen it and ran away

look at the fulani herdsmen and theur impunity

look at the federal government insisting on RUGA for fireuhj herdsmen when his country men that he swore to protect are dying like fowls

Look at the northern groups threatening a sitting president and people from the south

And look at the South spoiling for war if the plan is forced down theur throats

What about the excessive hate and division in Nigeria today due to the destructive politics played by APC especially?

The so called "middle class" are just living in a bubble
when it burst
una eye go clear


that is all I have to tell una

The first million a Nigerian makes, he looks for ways to throw it into foreign countries.

I see Canada as a choice for many of you. The mistake most Africans make is that they think the so called "civilized climes" they hear about apply to them.

No, it does not apply to you, it applies to their privileged class. You are the firewood they use to burn their engines. The same jobs you will never do at home because of your PhD, "MD" or DrSc, you will beg to do it when you are desperate and hungry or go into crimes.

The new generation of Blacks in Canada and US cannot even make or buy the same house as their parents. Over 50% live from pay check to pay cheque. Many of them cannot boost of a thousand dollars in the bank.

Note most of those 50 are 90% of you.

Who told you millionaire and billionaires do not have security? Try them u hia?

You think they go on social medias to display "gifted" instead of remaining anonymous?

Until Africans learn how to make use of their God given resources, stop throwing it away to those enslaving you by branding mentally, continue to use your labor to enrich themselves, Africans will continue to cry inside and outside where you are wasted as slaves, body parts and poo lickers.

Kotinu!

This is the type of post that lead naive people outside the country.

While privileged Americans survive on one income that provides a good life for every members of their families, it gives the partner usually a woman the choice of work or devote time for the family.

Compared to Nigerians on two or three jobs to make the same money, that is if they survive it. Even professionals have second jobs. A doctor may work heavy schedule and work at emergency for par time. An accountant may do security or taxi part time. A lawyer is not excepted.

They still have to pay student loans, live big, send money home. The children that hardly see their parents and those that work themselves to death are gone and forgotten.

These are the Nigerians conservatives pitch against native blacks as lazy. Do professionals Nigerians work that hard at home?

One of the best ways to discover a country that is going down is to look at the alternative leaders.

Must we resign ourselves to the least of two or all the evils or feel great about some good good people?

Arguing with cronies of Raufu is just a waste of time that could be better used on productive pursuit of the best anywhere in the world.

Anyone that thinks Osun is the Showcase for Nigeria or the world has serious problems.

But we must be fair, this is what we are reduced to in a country of the blind. I saw one of the pastors who paid a visit to Europe and started pouring curses on our leaders. He could not believe that these leaders have seen what he saw and still kept us in the dark.

Well, one has to wonder when was the last time this Raufu crony got paid and from which fund while the rest of Osun lament without salary in poverty.

This is beyond Osun, we are now used to mediocre in Nigeria and ready to compare a few asslickers to the masses. If they are doing good on the social media with "gifted", the rest of us must wait for God to pick up our calls.

In the process, we are creating the greatest amount of poor people in the world. But Nigerians say it is only in the North and poverty has nothing to do with them.

Suffering and smiling!

BTW, no need to argue any further on Osun, the poorest state in the West that failed to live up to its potentials.

The main problem we have in Nigeria is building on what others did. How could Awo be a distraction here if those that followed left it better than they met it?

If Raufu was not a rogue like Tinubu and others that think Lagos or Osun was better off after these two rogues, why did Osun not pay salary? You see that as derailing?

MetaPhysical? You or someone hijacked your handle.

The cattle Ranches propagated could have taken Osun to the 21st century. I fail to understand why we settle for second best when we can be the best in the world.

Awo and co. are relevant here because if they were thinking like you, we would not have Western Region to rely on, we would still be dwelling on ancient history of Ghana, Mali and Songhai.

MetaPhysical, are you going to brag about today's Osun to your children?

Thank God the old pictures and videos of Lagos are now being circulated on social media for people to compare and contrast since oil income and all the vagabonds took over.

MetaPhysical:
My brother, you are mixing apple and oranges. Take it in piecemeal. You are the author of this thread and it focuses specifically in one area. Deomelo has responded and showed what you needed in this area. If there are other areas of performance you need to get truth on then open thread for them. Do not derail your own thread.

Tinubu, Awo, Ajasin, and all these people are distractions on a topic about cattle ranch in the administration of Aregbe.

When you see truth, acknowledge it. This is truth...Aregbe did not dissapoint, period! Everything else belongs in a different thread.

Deomelo,

This is interesting.

In a country where there are blind people, one eye man is the king. The way Raufu left Osun and the way he started are like night and day.

Mind you, I was so high on this guy when he was making this promises of feeding the South, I started the applause for him. That was how I love this guy.

If he fulfilled his promises, the Fulani would have been out of cow business in the South preventing the RAGU or Ranch problem we have today.

Moreover, he bankrupt Osun but had to pay his master Tinubu. Well, both are from the same State and Tinubu sponsored him anyway.

Let me ask you: Is Osun better off today?

This is how folks that do not know Lagos praised Tinubu to high heavens. Is Lagos better off today?

Can you imagine if Awo, Akintola, Odunjo, Ajasin and co. we're this selfish and gready, we will not be talking about many Firsts in the West.

But I do not blame their cronies, you never had it so good. Well, some of us have and we know where we were born.

This is what is killing us in this country, bragado all hat and no cattle cowboy.

See all the propaganda, training and social media advert. Somebody once asked me why do Nigerians celebrating during commissioning of roads, farms, now pig and cattle. Celebrate in the middle before competition and after with little to show

Has Raufu been able to sustain Osun not to mention Lagos and the West or South?

Time and Time again, seed money and the projects disappeared. I thought someone would show us how the project has multiplied to become source of income for Osun. No they did not even pay salary.

O-Beef ko, where is the beef ni.

BTW, has Kwara been able to feed Nigeria after all the grants and loans to Zimbabwe white farmers?

These politicians are bloody rogues.

Raufu went on a world tour promising cattle Ranch that would turn Osun State beef exporter to Lagos, West and the whole South.

Where are thou now?

As long as you keep on training them for Europe, that is where they will go. Go to China, Russia or Cuba to find out how to train doctors for local needs.

I don't blame them, they go for the highest bidder

This clarification is disingenuous with a k leg.

The North has more land than the South, it make more sense to spread this "generosity" to the land mass where it is needed most - in the North.

Desert is taking over the North, spend the money there so that Nigeria can buy grass as they bought from Niger.


Leave the South to the South. If you are serious, buy land and hand it over to indigenes not Fulani to manage.

So Men Of God Do Pray & Trafficate

Yes O, they do O!

So Men Of God Do Pray & Trafficate


Abusing the privilege of free press is bad, but locking up sexual accusers as a deterrent to discourage sexual abuse report is worse. The right many societies has given women to report sexual harassment or abuse is a balancing act. We expect some loud mouths, no matter how notorious, to abuse that right. But it must never get to where those of us falsely accused must use police without due process, to lock them or their relatives up.

Powerful men of God had used heaven and hell to threaten anyone that crosses their line by publishing or revealing their sexual escapades, that takes time. They now call on the police to lock up disenchanted without due process. It was what military politicians used to do when any journalist wrote against them. Nigerian press was too vigorous to repress then or now. They moved from one house to another at night to print their stories. We have internet now, it is more difficult even for erring pastors to suppress.

Before that was Lagos Weekend that printed all types of salacious stories about anyone that had to be exposed. Unfortunately, most were unfounded gossips to sell newspaper. Powerful men have become thin skinned and unforgiven since then and are ready to deal with anyone by any means including instant justice by using their believers, threats, police to lock up alleged accusers and the courts by imposing excessive or no bail.

RUGA is not new. There were ranches for cattle since the 50s From Cross River to Ondo states. The difference here is that Federal Government wants to build it only for Fulani from the North.

Yoruba, Efik, Edo or Igbo would welcome RUGA as long as they are manned by indigenes.

Thank you.

I was so disgusted when I saw that comment. It shows the type of people and problems we are dealing with in Nigeria.

People do not hide their subjectivity anymore. If they disagree with you on anything, they are ready to call you a dog so that they can hang you.

Is this not the same Okorocha that gave free school, food and money to poor children? I guess they are not old enough to sing his praises or go on social media.

I do not support jungle Justice since it is sometimes applied to hungry bellies stealing food in the market but if you take a life or even lives as terrorist, if your time is up, it is up.

Damfostopper:
did Okorocha invade homes of the citizens robbing and killing them??........
seems yu and ur senses are at loggerheads


I pray you encounter these daredevils before today runs out.....



foolish simpleton.....



I spit on ur kind

Search for ways to mend your past and get along with your hosts wherever you are

The strategy of going on the offensive and confrontation failed to pay any dividend in the West. If anything, it has resulted in the loss of privileges and goodwill.

Why kontinu my broda and sis?

Returnees go into depression when they come back home and a few commit suicide when they found out all the money they sent home did not build the house they thought they had.
