INDESTRUCTABLEX: I think we feel inferior. We are made or rather compelled to feel inferior from the onset. The issue is from the very top down to the least of us.
For instance, on a Tuesday morning while in school I wore a native cloth to attend lectures. First thing my room mate says is "why are you dressing like our lecturers and fathers at home who don't know anything?"
In essence native is restricted only for Fridays. That's what I have observed in the past four years of schooling.

Let's compare. Can you compare the IQ of a 6 year old black to a white? NO. Save for the recent curriculum of schools that appear to teach toddlers beyond their level, you can see a white toddler play musical instruments, give compelling speeches. The black counterpart will cry for this and that and if they are not well to do(diobu bois oye) they will even run naked under the rain.

The list is endless. The question is why is it so and what is the way forward.

What school did you go to?

shymexx: The black mind is evil!!

Why do you say this?

solomon111: Congo is a painful paradox.
Africa's richest and poorest nation.
The entire military and aviation apparatus of america is totally dependent on the cobalt from congo,yet congo is probably africa's weakest nation.
The biggest and richest brands in the world like apple,samsung,nokia,boeing,will collapse without manganese and silicon from congo,yet that same congo is striken by concentrated poverty.
The nations of africa that should be soaring high as eagles have been converted to ants and forced to eat dust due to desperately poor leadership.
What a shame.

Africans are too selfish, we will kill and massacre other Africans o behalf of the west just for some money. Then we give all the resources to the west. America might exterminate us lik they did the native Americans. If you watch the movie Lon Ranger it is similar to what might happen in Africa in the future. We have land and resources what the whole world wants. Do you think we won't be like the Native Americans?

Where are these products made? We need to become producers instead of always consumers.

cap28: By completely remaining silent about the role of the United States and France in Haiti's demise you are attempting to distort the truth and blame the victim - this is a tactic used over and over again by the western media in order to divert attention away from the real villains.

you blame them for looting and killing, following a devastating earthquake but you failed to acknowledge that poor and desperate people do not behave the same way as people who have grown up in an orderly society.

Comparing Haiti - a country who for the past century has been subjected to devastating economic and political subjugation from the combined might of europe and america is simply unconscionable.

We are talking about a proud and courageous people who defeated Napoleon's french army , the british and the spanish imperialist armies.

A people who literally had to pay the price for freeing themselves from slavery. Did you know that France threatened to invade Haiti after they fought and won their freedom from slavery and in order not to be reinslaved they had to pay france the equivalent of what is in today's money the sum of $21 billion ? I made a mmistake in my earlier post, Haiti did not finish paying off this "debt" until 1945 approximately 140 years after they freed themselves, think about the economic damage that did to Haiti.

Do you know that because they had to make these payments Haiti had to divert monies meant for public healthcare, education, social amenities into paying off France?

Haiti was also economically blockaded by europe and america which prevented them from engaging in any form of meaningful trade - this went on for over 100 years.

Also the united states did not recognise Haiti until 1862.

the president of the united states at the time was abraham lincoln and he was looking for a place to repartriate freed african american former slaves - it was at this point that Haiti was recognised by america, prior to this period the US govt referred to Haiti as a country run by "niggers who spoke french"

Was japan ever colonised by any country? Did the japanese ever have to pay hostile neighbours off to keep them from invading their country?

yes the japanese are diisciplined people but they had the added advantage of never having anyone on their back trying to exploit or destroy them. when you are left to your own devices the chances are that you will be free to develop economically and politically.

In as much as they did not get the lions share of the Marshall plan funding they were still given substantial financial assistance by the united states, you can check the role that the late General Macarthur played in the rebuilding of Japan after the second world war.

Compare that to how haiti has been and continues to be treated by europe and america.

I reiterate that it is not the responsibility of africa to give Haiti financial assistance but it is DEFINITELY the responsibility of France to pay reparations to Haiti for destroying Haiti's chances of ever being able to provide for its citizens, france is what it is today because of the wealth generated from african slave labour in Haiti, it is absolutely immoral that france is being allowed to get away with the wholesale r.ape and destruction of an entire nation of people. The united states are also culpable becvause they invaded haiti more than 3 times, imposed murderous puppet govts who helped suck the remaining wealth out of haiti and they very recently KIDNAPPED and DEPORTED Haiti's only democratically elected former president therefore they are obliged to compensate Haiti for all of this destruction.

Africa may if it choses help thier Haitian brothers and sisters but the above mentioned countries are OBLIGED to do so.

every other nation in the world has been compensated for damage and destruction suffered at the hands of other nations ie Japan (by america) Germany (by america) why is Haiti's situation different - let me guess........

I have a question about Haiti. If they fought of the British, French and Spanish for slavery. Why didn't they allow France to come so they can fight them off again? I get confused in this part of Haitian history. We talk about Toussant and Dessalines but why couldn't the Haitian people say F U! to the French government an not repay them anything?

Bino and Fino also this

Wear African clothes.

I am getting sick of these weaves/ wigs and bleached women. I see it everyhere! I don't like Brazilian, Korean or Indian hair I like AFRICAN HAIR!!!

InvertedHammer: It is not how one started that matters most; it is how one finished. By the way, I was talking about production/
manufacture of goods and not the inventions.

How many African inventions are patented? Africans might have invented stuff but they usually lack finesse or government protection
from intellectual poachers. Just like biblical Joseph, your people will sell you out for peanuts. Are you aware that left to Africans,
slavery would have continued? They wouldn't mind issuing coupons or Buy 1 get 1 free for pecuniary gains. It is a lot easier to
blame whitemen for buying slaves without blaming the local chiefs that forcefully sold their people. Demand for slavery was abolished
and that was why the supply stopped. Go figure!

If you come up with any invention today, your fellow Africans will be the ones that will make sure that it does not see the light of the
day.

Looking for venture capitalists? Look towards the west.

Most African countries don;t have the industrial infrastructure base to produce. Africa is meant to be a permanent cheap labor, cheap resources and consumer market. The global capitalist system is designed that way. If people don't obey they get bombed ie Libya.

thoth: MEND is not as big a threat as they would have you believe, the fact is that not majority of the indigenous population supports MEND so it would have a hard time if a full scale campaign is launched against it.
Why they blew MEND out of proportion is that they tend to do that with any group that threatens their interests so to garner support for action or to isolate such groups even if it comprises of just a dozen people. In this case MEND is a threat to western Oil Interests in Nigeria though i don't know if they still are .

I know about the drone bases, i read about it at globalresearch.ca and it is getting scary, AQIM gave them the reason they needed to implement AFRICOM and BOKOHARAM will give them further reason to dig deeper but if Nigeria is truly united which i am afraid we are not then all these gigs would not be a significant threat to us, adopting pre-emptive strategic policies would solve the problem by having those nations which they built their bases become very hostile to them and ejecting them even before they can use it for their real plan.

The reality is that your leaders are not that visionary, they care more about looting the nation than safeguarding it.

Where is th article on globalresearch? Also do you have morei nfo on the buhari and abacha regime? I am trying to do eonomic research and their policies would help.

InvertedHammer: [b]

What solutions are you advocating? Kill all whitemen? Look around you everything you use was developed by them. What do you
manufacture? You import even toothpicks!

You are just tap-dancing around the issue and I am done with arguing back and forth with you. The root cause of the problems you are
latching unto is beyond your means. It is beyond the means of other developed countries because the format for the world economy
was developed by the West and the rest follows. What alternatives do you have? Nada. Zil! Zero!

You can elect to keep harping on wishful thinking or embrace practical approach to alleviating the suffering of the masses. Give
them basic infrastructures that will help drive private sector and middle class. I don't know which part of this you find extremely
difficult to understand.

For the love of Christ, the whole world is not centered around Nigeria. If your leaders don't want to get it right. So be it. It is quiet
disturbing that you will leave the source of your problems to blame others. Do you know how retar.ded you sound?

As inter alia stated, Nigerians need basic amenities and couldn't care less about all these macro-economics you are throwing
around. You keep saying "problem with Africans". Why don't you remove the ignorant log on your eyes first. I gave you
examples and you still don't get it. The major setback for Nigeria is corruption. Take it or leave it. I am done with you[/b]

Everything wasn't developed by them. Africans are the starters of civilization and we civilized the Europeans.

cap28: The first thing you must understand about nigerians is that we are not a nation - nationhood is defined as:

a community of persons not constituting a state but bound by common descent, language, history.

When you are a nation you do things that are in the interest of the country not against it.

The average nigerian does not see himself as a member of a nation thats why a nigerian politician can loot billions of naira from his own people and feel no guilt at seeing these same people living in abject poverty.

Again this goes back to the west- why did they force all of these vastly different groups of people to live under one articificial contraption ia - because it suited them thats why. they knew very well that we were all very different but they forced us into this fake union because they needed to have easy access to the land, labour and natural resources , they knew that the people on it would be at each others throats sooner or later but they couldn care less, it was all about what was in their best interests.

You are only ever going to get sefless leadership where you have a group of people who share common objectives - there are two many competing and conflictng interests between the various ethnic groups and this is reflected in the smash and grab mentality of the average nigerian politician.

however i still beleive that there are selfless nigerians who are willing to serve the nigerian people and lead the country to greatness its just that they are never allowed anywhere near the corridors of power.

I think the most pressing issue for nigerians now is to rid themselves of this cancerous elite, once we can acheive that, half of our problem will be solved.

@Cap28
You have to understand that the MINDSET of vast majority of Nigerians (And black people around the world) is the thing holding us back. Why is it that in Nigeria you will see many Nigerians wearing shirts with flags on the, the countries are Germany, Britain, America. Why do Nigerians wear the flags of their oppressors? Is that white man forcing them to do that? Why is it that during the "royal baby" there were many black people going to see the royal baby. Isn't it crazy how that baby's ancestors tried to commit genocide on us? They also enslave, colonized and continue to neocolonize us. They portray us badly on media, steal our history, mis educate us and we love them so much? We have stockholm syndrome to the MAX. We love and worship whites nd hate our own people. White supremacy is nothing without black compliance. You know how blacks are treated badly in the west, why don't we treat whites badly in Africa? NOOO We love the expats. We wear European cloths, speak European langues, have European standard of beauty, give our kids European names, aspire to be like them. Nigeiran artists film many of their videos in America, Europe or South Africa. They worship the light skinned women. WOrship Italian designers. We give them good jobs in our countries even though they only give us bad jobs or stereotypical ones (entertainer) in their country. We spend billions of dollars importing Brazilian, Indian, Korean hair.

I have talked to a Nigerian and he said that everyone wants to be white. We were talking about business and he told me that I should bring H and M to Nigeria. WHY SO they can import everything and send all profits to Europe which will lower our foreign exchange. And this man said this after having a university degree. With this mindset we will ALWAYS be in our situation. I also talked to some Nigerians in London and I told them that the war in Libya and how America and Britain financed it and caused hell to Nigerians and other blacks who died in the black genocide. Instead of standing up for them they made an excuse for them. Then said if you can't beat them join them. I have spoken with so many black people around the world We have a severe case of mental slavery. This is the WORST form of slavery.

We need more Pan Africanist nationalistic black people around the world then our situation will be a lot better. We must not blame whites for everything. We are too selfish as well. I talked to someone and asked him if there was a war in Nigeria and people were going to exterminate Nigerians would he go back and fight them off, he said no because he might lose his American citizenship. Instead of caring about the SURVIVAL OF HIS PEOPLE he cares about his citizenship. Too selfish. We must change our mindset first and foremost.

Sagamite: How?



Prove.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xft6JVLBdcw

Sgamite there are too many articles on the internet. If you choose to be naive then so be it.

Sagamite: That does not answer my question. Here are the questions I asked you:

So they are the ones that started the trouble in Syria?

What is GEJ obeying?

1. Yes America started the trouble in Syria.

2. GEJ is obeying America as in what thoth said: "Like Devaluing the Naira, removing subsidies, sacking government workforce, privatizing public institutions at peanut prices to western exploitative and destructive multi-nationals , Transferring the Data Collected during the ID card registration to US and Britain in the name of fighting terrorism, Turning a blind eye to the destruction of his Ijaw homeland by British and American Oil companies and even repressing his people who dares speak out, publicly and unashamedly lending support to western intervention in African affairs and violent overthrow of African leaders bypassing African Organizations like AU( cases: Gbagbo and Gaddafi) in fact GEJ is a Moronic Zombie American Puppet with no conscience."

thoth: Nigeria is not Libya, it will be unreasonable even outright stupid to invade Nigeria by the USA, we are a nation of 160 million people and Americans would need millions of soldiers on the ground to ever accomplish anything. If you ask me i will like to have Abacha/Idiagbon combo as the leaders of Nigeria. and people like Soludo as Advisers. USA can only sanction and foam at the mouth as they did during the time of Buhari and Abacha.

However unlike those period they have acquired an asset in the name of Boko-Haram which they can activate to cause mayhem but unlike Libya which is a nation of 7 million people if a military man like Abacha is our leader we would stop hearing about Boko-Haram in two months. even if the Americans recruit millions of foreign fighters from chad and Nigel(which would be impossible) they can still not accomplish anything.

A wise reader can now see why they really want Nigeria to break into smaller countries that are easily subdued.

Did you know that America is building a drone base in Niger? Also AFICOOM in Liberia. There are also French bases all around Nigeria in Francophone countries. America can also fund MEND to destroy Nigeria as well. What are your thoughts on that?

Also do you have articles on how merica sanctioned Nigeria during Buhari and Abacha?

thoth: Like Devaluing the Naira, removing subsidies, sacking government workforce, privatizing public institutions at peanut prices to western exploitative and destructive multi-nationals , Transferring the Data Collected during the ID card registration to US and Britain in the name of fighting terrorism, Turning a blind eye to the destruction of his Ijaw homeland by British and American Oil companies and even repressing his people who dares speak out, publicly and unashamedly lending support to western intervention in African affairs and violent overthrow of African leaders bypassing African Organizations like AU( cases: Gbagbo and Gaddafi) in fact GEJ is a Moronic Zombie American Puppet with no conscience.

I agree with you but my question to you is would you rather have him doing this or have someone who is against the west like Mugabe, Bashir and Gaddaffi then America destroys Nigeria like they did Libya and are doing now in Syria? What do you think?

Sagamite: So they are the ones that started the trouble in Syria?

What is GEJ obeying?

Yes AMerica and their western allies are causing thousands of deaths and bringing hell to Syria. Destablizing the country. Goodluck obeys whatever Obama and his corporate masters tell him.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkamZg68jpk

thoth: You should familiarise yourself with the Islamic Philosophy and definition of fate so you can understand what that sentence truly means. It has no relation nor propose anything close to what you just stated.
I was in Mogadishu from July -September 2011,That sentence was a reply given to me by a very devout and popular leader amongst his people when i asked him if it is not wiser to wait for reinforcemnets than to face Kenyan onslaught(with western Aerial Assistance ) with just few albeit brave men.

I have come to think so much on that answer in relation to the situation at that moment and the Islamic perspective of life. So i decided to use it as a signature.

I am never a Muslim though.

How was Mogadishu?

Sagamite: What treatment did Syria get?

And what does Nigeria need to obey?

Syria treatment as in fund terror groups in order to overthrow a leader. Right now Goodluck is obeying America and not going his own way. He is a good puppet. If he doesn't obey and tries to be like Gadaffi, Mugabe and Bashir then Nigeria will get hell brought towards it. America might fund Boko Haram and MEND to start a ivil war to kill thousands of people. America has a history of doing this.

[quote author=CROWÉ]Yes, Mugabe is a horrible leader, after almost 30 years Zimbabwe have no economy to speak of, he is easily one of the worst rulers by any standard. By comparison the emperor of Japan turned Japan from a primitive state to a recognized power in about 30 years, even outperforming Russia who was a great power at the time. Zimbabwe is the perfect example of supreme ignorance and stewpidity, Mugabe took farms from the white people split them into smaller chunks and effectively ruined their commercial value and gave them to the black people, today many of them are abandoned, they are as failed as a state can get before it collapses and that man has had enough time to fix that country a few times over.[/quote]There are reasons behind this.

Can you guys blame goodluck johnathon? If he doesn't obey America then Nigeria would get the Libya/Syria treatment.

panafrican: 1. Mandela; South Africa
2. Zuma; South Africa
3. Gaddafi; Libya
4. Houphouet Boigny; Cote d'Ivoire
5. Jomo Kenyatta; Kenya

Why Mandela and Kenyatta?
Also is this recent histoy of all time?

Recent:
1. Thomas Sankara

^^In no particular order.

THe Chairman is Indian but this is good. Hopefully the money stays in Africa.

cap28: Is there something wrong with the Black Panthers?

If not for the sacrifices they made you wouldn't be able to use the same restaurant, toilets, schools, libraries, movie theatres or shops as a white person in America.

America practices meritocracy ? whaaaaaaaaat?

so what was the civil rights movement about and why is the unemployment rate amongst blacks disproportionately higher than that of whites?

Did you know that Africans were only permitted to immigrate to America to live after the civil rights movement of the 1960s prior to that period only Europeans were allowed to immigrate there, as a matter of fact Africans and blacks from other countries were only allowed to immigrate to America AFTER the European immigration quotas had been exhausted that's why whites remain the largest and most powerful racial group in America

Africans were allowed to imgrate to the US before civil rights. Look at Kwame Nkrumah, Nnamdi Azikwe and Chinweizu Ibekwe. They all studied in America.

ebdib: come on man!
Lots of post graduate students get common wealth scholarships

Commonwealth games also brings national pride and gives athletes much needed exposure

its Australia under the UK? Is Canada under the UK?

Africans should just cut this "under them" mentality. it doesn't make sense

Common Wealth scholarships to go to Eurcentric University where they teach them that Africans are the most inferior people on the planet? That is what they teach at Oxfrd Camridge and many EUrocentric schools in the west. White supremacy to make the students hate being African. I was educated at western schools and they give you an inferiority compex. Is that hat you want as education? Why is it all th educated Africans look down on other Africans and have slef hate and inerioirty complex? They become educated servants.

Based n my research the only Afrocentric people who came from Ivyleagues are Emeka Ojukwu, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Kwame Nkrumah and Chinweiu Ibekwe. Are there any more than that?

GH PATRIOT: Gbam! I've always hoped & Prayed my country Ghana withdraws from this useless organisation. **Where is Nkrumah whem y0u need him?** I don't like Jammeh but I will give him thumbs up for this..... **But his days 0n earth are numbered! He is a dead man walking**

Why don't you like Jammeh?

thoth: You will be surprised it being done with Nigerian Soldiers, or the support of Nigerian Government.
Just like Goodluck Jonathan Condemned Qaddafi even before other African nation could wrap their heads around the western military intrusion into the continent.

Didn't Nigeria go into Liberia and Seirra Leone as well?

seedord247: Why Aliona?

Whats the meanin of Aliona?

What of chiamaka, chinyere, ebube, chidimma, chizoba etc...

Our culture is dying silently.

Because we identify with our master's. We are still slaves now we don't know it. Give our kids Christian/English names.

Why cant any of these women wear their own hair?

Ezili danto is a great source for news from Haiti from a non colonial perspective.
