Rossikk: What a load of slave mentality ridden, white worshipping garbage.

South Africa for your information has grown economically in leaps and bounds, by all measurable indices, from GDP to HDI et al, since the end of apartheid and the advent of black majority rule.

Millions of blacks have had their living standards drastically improved and public amenities have been diversified away from catering solely to the white population.

Left to you, apartheid should continue, with the black majority holed up in shanties and bantustans, illiterate and destitute, as the whites run riot with the country's wealth. Shame on you.

As for your claim that when western multinationals are allowed to ''do their own thing, everything works well'', you must be living on a different planet.

Was Shell not allowed to ''operate freely'' and ''do their thing'' in the Niger Delta throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s to the point that when one of us stood up against them he was hanged by our (then) dictator? All leading to the massive environmental despoilation of the place from which we're yet to recover?

Was it not after they were stopped from ''freely doing their thing'' that they began paying compensation and engaging in clean ups and corporate social responsibility measures etc etc?

Kindly go and widen your knowledge before posting racist claptrap here pls.

I agree rosik too much self hate. Too many self haters on here. We need more militant Africans!!

shymexx: China is definitely the "lesser devil" - and I admire their non interference policy... However, I think the better option for Africa and China's romance at the stage of our development should be: resources for infrastructures and industrialisation - since our elites are utterly corrupt. We definitely don't need the "cash."..

Africans need to work together instead of relying on foreigners

This is so sad

ROSSIKE: True. And they hate (or more accurately, fear and wish to suppress) black people because they know the history of ancient black global dominance, even if most modern blacks haven't a clue.

It is too bad we are in the information age and us blacks still choose to not learn our great history. smh

shymexx: There's tribalism all over Europe, however, how come there's no hatred involved Scots and English people go at it all the time the same way Nigerians go at it but it doesn't go beyond that stage...

It only becomes hatred when bigotry is involved - you should able to discern the two...

Racism on the other hand is just pure hatred!!

Divide and conquer...

It should but if AMerica did that they would be broker than they already are. Not gonna happen. I wish it would though

Why do the international media portray the goods and bads of India, Brazil and China? Those countries are very poor but they show both parts of those. They show the Tahj Mahal, the skyscrapers in Shanghai, the Beauty of Brazil but never of Africa. Also history too, slavery/colonization is less than 10% of African history but they focus so much on it. Why not talk about the positive African history like Sungbo Eredo or Monotopia, or Ancient Egypt, Benin, Songhai, Mali, etc. They do this for a reason. TO make you hate yourself and make everyone look down on you. The world elite HATE black people.

cap28: i love igbo tradition and culture , when i see these kind of pictures they uplift me, i pray our culture, language and traditions never die.

Do you speak Igbo?

panafrican: Whites may not be the real problem. Our most challenging issues are the crooked ones who can sell their own country on purpose to come to power and kill anybody who opposes this crime.
Just think about the sell-out who are now in power in Cote d'Ivoire. Think about the fake muslims stirring trouble in northern Mali.Think about all these african leaders on foreign secret services payroll.
If you make the mistake to go to Burkina, Togo, Gabon, Liberia, Benin, Cote d'Ivoire, Algeria,Chad, Mauritania,Niger , Libya today and talk about a strong Africa you could well end up 20 feet underground (dead).

If those guys don't obey they die or get verthrown like Sankara, Lumuba, Gaddaffi or Gbagbo.

kpozite: Hmmnn In the bible the woman caught committing adultery was she doing it alone? Where was the man?
Today if a guy has 3 girl friends he is hailed for his prowess but lets hear that for a girl her own don finish.
the society is indeed biased against girls.
Or why was Beijing Women's Conference of 1995 held?

It has its pros and cons. But during the woman's conference did they discuss having women foight in armies? What was being discussed? In America women vote for men into presidency then complain about never being a female president. There were female candidates in third party but they did not vote for them. In divorces women get the child and lots of money. This is why men committ suicide at a high rate after a divorce. Does that benefit men? Why do men go to jail longer on average than women? Why are men always looked at as criminals more than women? Did the Beijing conference talk about that? There are pros and cons to being a women I agree but I am sick of hearing that women are the most oppressed it gets annoying being men go through things too and nobody is here for us.

This is good but Nigeria needs more local content. We need to make our own building materials for the construction. This creates thousands of jobs and makes us self-sufficient. Also all these new malls are useless unless many of the products in the mall are made in Africa. We must not continue to import everything from outside of Africa. Also the new stadiums may be useless because mostpeople cannot afford to go to a stadium. We should be investing in power. That dam is nice but we need more. Also solar and wind energy are important. Those industrial parks are good too.

cap28: because most africans (especially nigerians are ignorant, self hating crawling fools who have no knowledge of self and are obsessed with empty materialism.

if i had my way i would nuke all of these coons off the surface of the earth and rebuild a new race of militant, radical proud nigerians.

Not too many militant Nigerians that I know. Most don't know much about Africa, the history, language, or culture. Iti s a damn shame that Africa has a great history but most black people are unaware. I try and tell people about African hisstory on facebook to uplift them. I try and do my 2 cents.

ThiefOfHearts: Sure if it were a Nigerian, they would continue laughing like the oyibo worshipping coons that they are.

Yes we do love oyibo, but hate ourselves. This is how they treat us and we still love them. smh

smh

Who is your favorite politician fro Africa for 2012 and why?

[quote author=Afro_Blue]good drop dude, we figured such ....


CAR President Bozize has urged the US and France to intervene against the rebel forces. In a speech last Thursday, Bozize accused unspecified “foreigners” of backing the rebels and suggested that the unrest was triggered by his granting of oil exploration contracts earlier this year to Chinese and South African corporations.

“Before giving oil to the Chinese I met with [oil company] Total in Paris and told them to take the oil. Nothing happened. I gave oil to the Chinese and it became a problem,” he said.[/quote]Recolonization of Africa has begun.

martyns303: Mods pls rephrase what this person has just written and take it to front page. There are 1.2 Billion people in India, that's more than the entire Africa in excess of 200 million, according to statistics the ratio of girls to boys is 2:1, meaning there are 800 million females in India. Why this girl? And why can't these mofos get a GF out of 800 million girls.

Source?

THi s is bad, most Nigerians don't use planes or airports. They should invest more in the people. Education, healthcare and infrastructure.

shymexx: True.. Just keep doing what you're doing and don't let these mis-educated people make you lose focus..

Even in Africa they have a colonial education. They teach you thatvAfricans are the most inferior people in the world. While giving religious courses worshipping white people. We need to change this and put black images of dieties. These missionary schools are bad IMO. I know Africans who think their history started with the white man. They we need to change our mindset. I try posting positive history or documentaries here like Motherland 500 years later and hidden colors 1 and 2

We have crabs in a barrel mentality. If we see someone wants to make a change we say he is too "afrocentric" and demonize him. I get demonized all the time for trying to uplift blacks. It is crazy it is from my own people too. SMH Us black people worldwide have self hate. Slavery, and colonialism destroyed our minds.

But I will work to make Africa better. I work hard for this reason.

We are underdeveloped because we don't produce. We are not industrialized

BlackEmperorX: There is nothing wrong with emulating a country that has seen success. Look at China as a perfect example that was once considered third-world...I say this as black American born and raised in the states.

Nigeria has all the potential to be the NEXT success story as a progressive society. Yet.. somehow...some way... ppl are troubled by other Nigerians wearing American shirts? Utterly pathetic, bitter, and sad. Enough with the oppression bull crap. It never ceases to amaze me the striking similarities of Africans and black Americans.

Nigerians should ask their selves why your most brilliant minds leave the country in MASSES to places like the US or UK. The American shirt wearers should be an indicator!!

Ravaged by terrorism, corruption, poor infrastructure, and failed policies. I got an idea for you all. The Nigerian Government should implement policies to work with the TOP Black American Businesses. FACE IT your "culture" is irrelevant if you got nothing to show for. European and Western countries laugh when they see ethnocentric battles in a black society like Nigeria.

At the end of the day if you come to America. They DO NOT care what your "culture" is. You are BLACK and nothing more.

Which black American businesses are there to bring to Africa? My page Facebook.com/africanedp www.africanedp.com I am trying to unite us together economically.

[quote author=ekt_bear]Most people want to be associated with success (America).

Very few want to be associated with failure (most of Africa).[/quote]Africa has had some of the most civilized and best empires this world has EVER seen. Kemet, Kush, Nubia, Benin, Nri, Songhai, Mali, Monotopia, etc. We were doing amazing things and we civilized the world. Africans have been successful in the past. So why not associate success with Africans?

[quote author=Mr. Globe]the op has his own personal issues with America and he should deal with it personally.

This was the same folk that asked us not to vote Obama. lol.

Yes Africans love America. The land of the free.[/quote]Look at the way the American media portrays Africa. Look at how they enslaved us. How England olonized us. Look at how Belgium raped and cut off hte hands of Africans. Why would you love people who have done so much harm to you? It is stockholm syndrome.

Also Obama has a very aggressive foreign policy against Africa. He is going to put troops in Africa next year. Do you still love him?

I bet that America would go to war with Nigeria and kill 10 million and Nigerians would still worship them. Our mindset is messed up.

dayokanu: You see when people call you daft its not like they are abusing you, they are just defining your state of mind.

I know say you be dropout but ask people wey sabi read to translate for you

I am not a dropout just because I made one mistake doesn't mean anything.

dayokanu: Maybe you should stop using the language of the oppressor and type in Igbo. Or stop using the internet , Watching TV, opening a website, using facebook etc

Since they are all inventions of the Americans/Whites

I hate when people say that. How about whites stop using math, science, architecture, philsophy, and physics since Africans invente it. THe anceint Egyptians taught and civilized the Ancient Greeks. Africans civilized the world.

afam4eva: This inferiority is not limited to Nigerians but it's worse with us. How do you blame us when we're a people that are constantly reminded that anything that comes from obodo America is the best and should be emulated.

I am Nigerian but i don't believe that. I wear African clothes all the time, eat African food, have African art, I do tourism in different African countries. I don't have this mindset but most Africans do. I am trying to change it with my site www.africanedp.com facebook.com/africanedp hopefully more people can buy Africa things.

As Agiliti said, we have stockholm syndrome and love of the agresser is very well in our minds.

I have never seen a people who rep a foreign country more than their own country. In Nigeria i always see people wear American flag clothes. I have never seen an American wear any African flag clothing. I have also seen black people wearing polos with Japan, Germany or America. What is wrong with us? America enslaved Africans for 300 years, why do you love them so much? They still neocolonize us too. Why do we admire our oppressors so much? Even African artists have their videos in Europe South Africa or America. They also flash the American dollar too. Also try and wearing American clothing. My question is why?

Nigerians are brainwashed. Britain is not a Black Country so why would try have black government people. America is different because of slavery and the 14 percent blacks there. ALSo those blacks don't serve the interests of the global African. They bomb Africa and fund genocides inadrica. I don't like house negros

Rossikk: If Nigeria does what China did - banning all imports, including imports of foreign vehicles, forcing everyone to ride bicycles for several decades pending the rise of indigenous vehicle manufacturing, among such other draconian measures (including executing dissenters in their millions), would you subscribe to THAT?

See, it's really easy coming here to post what China has achieved. But are YOU and others who think like you, willing to do what THEY DID to get to where they are?

In in news they are starting to manufacture cars. Look up innoson

C. African Republic President Seeks Foreign Help


BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) — The president of Central African Republic on Thursday urgently called on France and other foreign powers to help his government fend off rebels who are quickly seizing territory and approaching the capital, but French officials declined to offer any military assistance.

The developments suggest Central African Republic could be on the brink of another violent change in government, something not new in the history of this resource-rich, yet deeply impoverished country. The current president, Francois Bozize, himself came to power nearly a decade ago in the wake of a rebellion.

Speaking to crowds in Bangui, a city of some 600,000, Bozize pleaded with foreign powers to do what they could. He pointed in particular to France, Central African Republic's former colonial ruler.

About 200 French soldiers are already in the country, providing technical support and helping to train the local army, according to the French defense ministry.

"France has the means to stop (the rebels) but unfortunately they have done nothing for us until now," Bozize said.

French President Francois Hollande said Thursday that France wants to protect its interests in Central African Republic and not Bozize's government. The comments came a day after dozens of protesters, angry about a lack of help against rebel forces, threw rocks at the French Embassy in Bangui and stole a French flag.

Paris is encouraging peace talks between the government and the rebels, with the French Foreign Ministry noting in a statement that negotiations are due to "begin shortly in Libreville (Gabon)." But it was not immediately clear what, if any, dates have been set for those talks.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, meanwhile, spoke via phone with Bozize, asking the president to take responsibility for the safety of French nationals and diplomatic missions in Central African Republic.

U.S. officials said Thursday the State Department would close its embassy in the country and ordered its diplomatic team to leave. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were unauthorized to discuss the evacuation publicly.

The United Nations Security Council issued a press statement late Thursday reiterating its concern about the situation in the country and condemned the attacks.

"The members of the Security Council reiterate their demand that the armed groups immediately cease hostilities, withdraw from captured cities and cease any further advance towards the city of Bangui," the statement reads.

Bozize's government earlier reached out to longtime ally Chad, which pledged to send 2,000 troops to bolster Central African Republic's own forces. But it was unclear if the Chadian troops had all arrived, and even then, it is far from certain if the combined government forces could withstand rebel attacks.

At least four different rebel groups are involved, though their overall numbers could not immediately be confirmed.

Central African Republic, a landlocked nation of some 4.4 million people, is roughly the size of France. It has suffered decades of army revolts, coups and rebellions since gaining independence in 1960 and remains one of the poorest countries in the world.

The rebels behind the most recent instability signed a 2007 peace accord allowing them to join the regular army, but insurgent leaders say the deal wasn't fully implemented.

Already, the rebel forces have seized at least 10 towns across the sparsely populated north of the country, and residents in the capital now fear the insurgents could attack at any time, despite assurances by rebel leaders that they are willing to engage in dialogue instead of attacking Bangui.

The rebels have claimed that their actions are justified in light of the "thirst for justice, for peace, for security and for economic development of the people of Central African Republic."

Despite Central African Republic's wealth of gold, diamonds, timber and uranium, the government remains perpetually cash-strapped. Filip Hilgert, a researcher with Belgium-based International Peace Information Service, said rebel groups are unhappy because they feel the government doesn't invest in their areas.

"The main thing they say is that the north of the country, and especially in their case the northeast, has always been neglected by the central government in all ways," he said.

But the rebels also are demanding that the government make payments to ex-combatants, suggesting that their motives may also be for personal financial gain.

Bozize, a former military commander, came to power in a 2003 rebel war that ousted his predecessor, Ange-Felix Patasse. In his address Thursday, Bozize said he remained open to dialogue with the rebels, but he also accused them and their allies of financial greed.

Those allies, he implied, are outside Central African Republic.

"For me, there are individuals who are being manipulated by an outside hand, dreaming of exploiting the rich Central African Republic soil," he said. "They want only to stop us from benefiting from our oil, our diamonds, our uranium and our gold."
