CultureRe: Rich Black Africans Vs. Rich Black Americans by igbo2011(m): 2:38am On Aug 19, 2012
Inb America caucasians control most large industries. They run music and sports. All the rich blacks are workers and can be cut in a second. The wealth is in the hands of jewish and causian people. We need to learn how to CONTROL companies and be heads of businesses. This is why oi don't like Africans getting signed by American labels because that means they will be controlled by Americans. Atleast in Nigeria we control industries such as music sports and movies.

So when d banj got signed by GOOD music he is under Kanye and Kanye is under a caucasian owned label. We don't distribute or market anything.

If black americans controlled sports and music then their community will be a lot mpre rich. But caucasians won't let African Americans run anything because they love control and wealth.

f i o: tanx, u just spoke ma mind.......that's why they call us animals, not bcoz of our skin complexion but due 2 our mode of thinking.......little advice"DONT MESS WITH AMERICANS" these people tink 10years ahead of us. They cause the division of soviet union, Nigeria is just a piece of cake.
Yes they funded the war in Bosnia, iraq-iran war in the 20s rwanda genocide. They also overthrow governments around the world like Haiti with Aristede, congo with Lumumba, opinochet of chila, mossadegh of Iran. Those big multinationals like Shell and BP also play a huge role too. Africans need to realize that America doesn't care for Africans and haven't since slavery. Why did America kill Troy Davis? Why did it take a month to kidnap the killer of Trayvon Martin. Why are schools in. Majority black neighborhoods so poorly funded? Whyvare blacks in the bottomof everything? Like healthcare and economics? Why are 38 percent of people on welfare black americans when they are 13 percent of the population? WAKE UP!!! They don't even care about black americans why would they care for black Africans?

ballabriggs: Bla bla bla Kings college. Haha is it the one at Obalende? If you don't know the story of South Korea's development and the role of openess to trade and investment then sorry I can't help but let you dwell in your hate filled world. Is Brazil's FDI induced growth as a result of its ability to "defend itself militarily"? The World is moving, the only problem we've got is ignorant and hate filled minds like you that would be gone over time. I ask you again, where is your domestic investment and technology? Blaaaaa, you're still looking for those who conquered you. That we fought wars in the 19th century does not mean we can't be partners today. That is what the world is about today. Unfortunately you are still in your 19th century world.
History tends to repeat itself this is why some people believe we will be in another civil war in Nigeria because we didn't learn from biafra. We need to learn from bosnia, sudan, india and other countries who broke apart.

We also must understand slavery and colonialism because it shouldn't repeat itself. We cannot let our former colonisers recolonize us. They already are to some extent but it can be worse. The whole world wants our resources we need to unite before its too late and we are exterminated

The usa will cause more problems just like libya ivory coast congo and somalia. We need to wake up. America is the root cause to many of the worlds wars. They fund many wars to get cheap resources. Next they will put a base in Nigeria just like they are doing in liberia. When will us Africans wake up? Stop letting mainstream media tell you lies!! Cnn fox and bbc lie all the time.

Rossikk: I wasn't blaming the athletes either. I was blaming the poster. You say 'everything is crumbling' but I don't see 'everything crumbling'. I just see people like you claiming everything is crumbling while sat on your fat assses doing nothing to assist the country. Sports being one example. WHY ARE YOU not an Olympic athlete? You sit behind your computer expecting others to go and win medals for you and when they don't you say the country is crumbling. It is YOU that's crumbling. You and all those well fed middle class Nigerians who were raised to believe that sports is for paupers, and the underclass. Well guess what? The underclass lack your nutrition, strength and confidence to take on the world. It is the well fed middle classes, fed on beef, chicken and cornflakes all their lives that should be out there competing for gold on the world stage, and even working in sports administration, training etc, but no, after attending our elite secondary schools, we all abandoned sports (no matter how good we were at it) to become lawyers, doctors, engineers, IT specialists, and then when the dregs of society are left to be our sportsmen and officials, we moan about a ''crumbling country'' when they don't bring home the gold. But it is you that is crumbling, not Nigeria. Go back to your air-conditioned office.
You know I used to be a track and field athlete. I trained very hard to make it to the Olympics but I was nowhere near fast enough to make the Olympics. Track and field athletes are usually born fast. It is in their blood to be athletic. My best times are nowhere near fast enough to even win NCAA college nationals. So I said forget it and stuck to economics and I made a site promoting Nigerian economics. www.nigerianedp.com

I wish I was there in the Olympics but God didn't give the the natural speed. Maybe I can give track a second try because I am still young enough to make a comeback. If I can go under 50 in the 400 hurdles in the next 4 years then I can make Nigeria's team.

Look at Christine Ohuruogu and Lawrence Okoye they are of Nigerian ancestry. If Nigeria had more economic opportunities their parents would have stayed in Nigeria and they might have been able to play for the Nigerian Olympic team. We also need to INVEST in the sports industry and we can have more Olympians!!! We need more track and fields, well maintenance football pitches and more state of the art basketball courts. We can start a huge billion dollar sports industry.

afam4eva: Why Are These Not Olympic Sports

I find it unfair that it's only the sports that are popular in Europe and America that are olympic sports. What about sports that we're good at.

‎​Nigeria has not won any medal at the London Olympics.
May be they should introduce new games like:

stealing public funds,
bomb planting,
how to set up panel of investigation ,
how to carry ballot box &
kidnapping,
scam
So that we can pick Gold medals quick quick !!!
What do you think?
America and britain would proba ly win gold in all of those because they taught Nigeria how to do it. Also america is more corrupt than Nigeria.

Basic Information

o Hometown: Timbuktu, Mali
o Sex: Male
o Birthday: Unknown
o Political Views: King/ Monarch/ Emperor
o Religious Views: Islam
o B​io:
I earned the title Mansa in 1307. Mansa means “king of kings” or emperor. I took my position from my father, Abu Bakr II. I am the best known of all the emperors of the Mali Empire. I brought the Mali Empire to a golden age. I am known throughout Africa, Europe, and much of Asia for my generosity and my wealth. However, I am better known for my pilgrimage to Mecca, the hajj. I was Islam and am famous for spreading it around the Mali Empire and much of Western Africa. Some things I worked hard to improve during my time were trade, a justice system, and education. We traded with many nearby nations and empires. We were part of the salt trade and our empire became very wealthy due to this. Also, we had a very safe land. We wanted to be very strict in keeping our streets and area safe for foreign traders and ourselves. Through this desire, we created a very strong justice system to eliminate criminals. Also, I believed in a good education for all. The more people that were educated increased the amount people that could work to increase the economy of my empire. I also really like arts, agriculture, and industry. Since my empire was very wealthy, we were able to attain very valuable arts from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Northern Africa. I also believed that an increase in agriculture would increase the population and would make that population stronger and healthier. With a bigger army, we could take over more land, and have a larger workforce. With a larger workforce we could increase our industry. Having a large industry is important because then we would be able to produce more product and trade it. All the things I believed in were related. With a large, educated population we would be able to increase industry and agriculture. With more products we could increase trade, which we protected with our justice system. With the gold we received for the salt we traded, we could then buy more art. Overall, I was the best emperor of the Mali Empire.

We need to have an AFROCENTRIC point of view on every aspect of history. The Pythagoras theorem needs to be changed to the Kemet theorem because AFRICANS already had it. We should have a through dose of AFRICAN history and empires from Mali, Songhai, Carthage, Phoenicians, Egypt, Zulu, Ile Ife, Benin, Nri, Bornu, Kongo, Luba, Kuba, Ghana, Kilwa, Swahili, Ethiopia, Punt, Monomotopia, and other GREAT empires. This should be taught not western history. The west steals most of their stuff from people around the world. They stole African, Asian and Native American ideas and took it as theirs. So western civilization is a mix of all civilizations around the world. Did you know Europeans learned about the C section from Ugandans? There are authors that should be taught it schools like Ivan Sertima, Anta Diop, Drusila Houston, Runoko Rashidi, Chauncellor Williams, Amos WIlson, and others. This will UPLIFT and UNITE Africans. We need to stop thinking like Afropeans and start thinking about Africans. Watch these videos to learn more:
