BananaBender and 50calibre I was going to call it a day when I saw this thread. I think the both of you are right. Both the government and the people are responsible for the woes of Nigeria. Government: in as much as Nigeria is just a mere geographical expression/location on a map occupied by Nigerians - the government since its inception started the systematic destruction on the mentality of the people. And the fault-lines for sentiments were further instilled into the psyche of the people with creating a centralised system that never bothered to analyse how the country would work, and create a dialogue on the way forward for the different ethnic nationalities - and how to douse the fears of ethnic domination over the other. That was how sycophancy, and tribal sentiments were planted into Nigerian mentality. I'd wager that a lot of these sycophants do whatever they do based on that. Then, you have to also consider how a long period of military dictatorship enmeshed permanent fear in the minds of the average Nigeria. I believe that affected the people so much that it has become a vicious cycle - and failure has become part of the everyday life of the day. And once you throw faith and always hoping, rather than going out to what you want and your entitlement into the mix, then you should get a better picture. Also, once you look at the education system, created by the government, and how it has failed the people - you definitely can't absolve the government for creating this vicious cycle of destruction. People more time are just a product of the environment. People: in as much as the people are also those who make up the government, perhaps, you should blame the system for systematically destroying the people, who end up becoming the government. However, it's also difficult to absolve the people since we live in an age where information is universal with globalisation. And accessing information and enlightenment, has never been by easier in real time in history humanity. So, it's the responsibility of the people to be able to self-educate themselves on what's right and what their entitlements are, devoid of sentiments, and stand collectively against tyranny and whatever destructive forces are holding their collective destiny to ransom. So, blaming the people for their insensitivity, selfishness, and aversion to change, is also right. Hotep! Ciao! 2 Likes |

I shall be back around noon to read your reply. Too busy with work now. - Breaking of the ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’ of rotating presidency between North and South. - That effectively and temporarily shifted power to the South from the North who had Nigeria on the chokehold since independence. - By default GEJ became the president. - He, GEJ, left himself unguarded by exposing his rear-end and by surrounding himself with sycophants. He moved away from the Boss/Don (I don't know if you understand the mafia's hierarchy) who played the game on his behalf to his advantage. Bear in mind that GEJ is the Underboss and the Underboss is basically useless without the Boss/Don and his connect. - Subsequently the North with the help of the Americans changed the game plan after clipping his wings. - Then the proxy war began. ^^^^Now think and post something sensible! 2 Likes |

They have two aces now: 1) Sleeper cells in the naija military to orchestrate a coup and 2) They have hijacked BH... The game is being played in phases and they have subtly said they don't want GEJ. EU also don't like his face - Archbishop of Canterbury also told you that a few months ago. Just allow it and tell your man to break the darn country.

very interesting and apt write-up. There are still a lot of extremely intelligent Nigerians out there who can look beyond the facade and see what's really happening behind-the-scenes. GEJ boxed himself to a corner by surrounding himself with sycophants and noisy people across the East of the Niger River who think settling the whatever scores they have to settle with the Nigerian establishment can be done at once - despite ostracising the rest of the Southern power-block and the Nigerian people. The Americans also played a blinder in this one - REALPOLITIK. Western countries love the Northerners and they prefer them lording over the rest of Nigeria. I believe Northerners are better serfs to lord over in the scheme of things. This is a classic example of no-way-out and I expect the North to start dissecting and decimating GEJ soon. The guy is basically finished. Dead and buried. And once the North gets back in power (which is most likely going to happen) - the South is the finished. R.I.P GEJ! Just break the darn country and redeem yourself before it's too late. PS: eGuerrilla, when I grow up, I definitely want to be like you, Sir. 8 Likes |

Nigeria is the giant of failure, corruption, population. educated idiots and grandiose delusions. Ghana is the giant of West Africa. Angola is the giant of Central Africa. Ethiopia is the giant of East Africa. Algeria and Egypt are the giants of North Africa. And South Africa is the giant of South Africa. Africa is a continent with many regional giants - but no real king. No big brother to help the little brothers out. Hence why the continent is fvcked up. 1 Like |

DerideGull: You could not be more correct. In addition, Africans are sentimental goats and can never match the deftness of Europeans especially on the propaganda front. Europeans made sure Mandela parted ways with Winnie and arranged a waste pipe for him as a wife.I agree. Winnie was too much of a black woman for the post-apartheid Mandela to handle. You wouldn't want them to destroy their investment - would you? They would have given him an ivory queen but that would have destroyed the whole agenda, hence why they gave him a coconut. Most black women these days are coconuts and most of them are barely intelligent and superficial. So no hard feelings there. It was just a case of giving Mandela the modern-day chicken-headed black woman. |

| Foreign Affairs › Re: Ghanaian - Nkrumah Is Greater Than Mandela by ImHotepX: 1:54am On Dec 13, 2013 |
Who was the greatest African? This is very debatable. Also, we need to define Africa and what it actually means to be African. Africa itself is so vague and vast that trying to define the term in a myopic way would obfuscate what it actually means to be African, and exempt a lot of people. And like Zuma, the South African president said a few weeks ago: "There's no Africa/African." A few other African academics share the same sentiments. Perhaps, we need to start defining it as "black" - to make it all inconclusive. So to call either Kwame Nkrumah or Nelson Mandela the greatest black person ever is a tad bit too generous IMO. However, we can debate who was more influential, more popular and more accomplished between the two icons. I'd say Kwame Nkrumah was more influential to the "African" cause since he was the face of anti-colonial struggle and he paved the way for everyone else. All the subsequent pan-Africanists came from his school of thought and they all studied him. But when it comes to popularity and accomplishment, as a black man, then no one is ever going to touch Nelson Mandela. If you want to use the creation of OAU as a yardstick to measure greatness, despite the non-achievements of the OAU - then Muammar Gaddafi also deserve to be in the conversation for creating the AU. Personally, for the greatest black person ever - I would lean towards Malcolm X and Steven Biko since they both provided blueprints on how to solve the unique problems of the black race. However, they never really accomplished much while they were alive, so we can't really call none of them the greatest. But some might argue that Jesus also never really achieved much while he was on this planet, but most people believe he was the greatest that ever lived. That's an argument for another day. All in all, I believe there's no greatest African/black person. They all contributed to black history and were icons. Edited. Hotep! 44 Likes |

Let me just conclude with this post. In the last few days, I've done a proper analysis of the great icon, Nelson Mandela, and I believe I kind of rate him more than I used to. I believe if I were in his shoes - I would have done the same thing. If I had gone to prison for 27 years, only to come out to see a continent that was in a worse state under indigeneous rule than it was under colonialism. Civil wars everwhere. Military tyrants enslaving their own people. Extreme corruption, hunger, poverty and underdevelopment as the face of post-colonial Africa. Africa's only hope, Nigeria, in a state of anarchy. And a South Africa under apartheid rule as the only shinning light of the continent, with a lot to gain from a compromise - even if it meant being slaves under minority rule. I would have compromised and titled towards being a slave in "heaven" than being free in "hell." Let's be honest - the black race is accursed! I guess that was why he had to settle for less and embrace the status quo, with the hope that future generations in South Africa would turn it around when they become educated enough to understand the necessary steps in taking power. I doubt Nelson Mandela would be angry with the omission of Nigeria from his story because if there was any country he hated, that country has to be Nigeria. I believe that stems from seeing a country with so much potentials in ruin is enough for anyone to hate such a country. Especially when at one point in history, the hope and destiny of a whole race was tied to that country. He never hid his hatred for Nigeria. And that was a man in which hatred/hate was foreign to - so you lot need to understand why you need to smack yourselves rather than pointing fingers everywhere. Also, despite how Mugabe was painted black everywhere - Mandela and South Africa indirectly supported everything he did. Mugabe's like a god in South Africa. Mandela was also an upright/upstanding man - and he's the type that would never deny his "friends" regardless of what anyone says. A very loyal icon. Nelson Mandela described Fidel Castro as, “In all my years in prison, Cuba was an inspiration and Fidel Castro a tower of strength.” Go read about the battle of Cuito Cuanavale in Angola 1988 and how it was the turning point for apartheid South Africa. That was Cuba's contribution. Nelson Mandela once described Muammar Gaddafi as "Brother Leader" and said this to those who had something negative to say about his bromance with Muammar Gaddafi: "Those who feel irritated by our friendship with President Gaddafi can go jump in the pool." Then went further in 1999 by saying this: "No-one can deny that the friendship and trust between South Africa and Libya played a significant part in arriving at this solution. It vindicates our view that talking to one another and searching for peaceful solutions remain the surest way to resolve differences and advance peace and progress in the world. It was pure expediency to call on democratic South Africa to turn its back on Libya and Gaddafi, who had assisted us in obtaining democracy." Heck, one of his grand sons was named Gaddafi after the late Libyan leader. That was Nelson Mandela for you. Very loyal to his friends. So before we critique the man's legacy - we need to understand the reasons and circumstances in which he made whatever decision(s) he made. And why he wouldn't want his legacy to be associated with Nigeria. Finally, no matter what you lot say on here - nothing can negate his status as the most celebrated and accomplished black hero ever! Only Michael Jackson was close. Maybe, Obama and Muhammed Ali would also be close when it's all said and done. The most important thing is that the man never complained about the celebrity status those who jailed him gave him. He loved and embraced it. I went to his statue at the Parliament Square two days ago to pay my last respect to him. And loads of people were also there despite the cold weather and the frost. 3 Likes |

In as much as this isn't the right time to start dissecting Nelson Mandela due to all the sacrifices he made. Yes, he did sacrifice a lot and I doubt there would ever be any black/African person like Nelson Mandela again. The consciousness is different now and we as black people are too much in-love with the white-media created world and modernity that we don't rate anyone except the white-massa shoves him/her down our throats. There are tons of black political prisoners still in prison for fighting for black people - how many of us remember or celebrate them? So we can't fault white people for telling the story of the image they created the way they want it to be told. However, we need to understand that there were two Nelson Mandela. The first one was the freedom fighter - the one we've all forgotten. And the second one was the most celebrated and most loved one created by white people. I believe a lot of African academics and even the ANC share this sentiment based on what I've read from different online outlets across the continent. Hence why there was a campaign for him to be buried as the former - the freedom fighter. But that campaign was black-balled into abyss. I guess that's why Thabo Mbeki also wasn't allowed to speak at his funeral. They created the image and you can't stop them from burying him the way they want to bury him. The same way King James wrote the Bible the way he wanted it to be written - and that has been the standard for holy scriptures since then. You have to follow the rules of the owners of the world. For the real Mandela to be celebrated, then not only Nigeria would have to me mentioned. Zimbabwe, Gaddafi and Libya, and Fidel Castro and Cuba would also have to be cited. Nigeria contributed a lot. So did Mugabe and Zimbabwe. Same for Gaddafi and Libya. And Fidel Castro's Cuba tied the noose around the neck of apartheid South Africa with the Angolan war, hence why all the countries around South Africa got their independence and that isolated apartheid South Africa. It's very complex and you don't expect those who created the post-apartheid Nelson Mandela - the same people who supported apartheid South Africa to tell you how they were complicit in the same devilish and dehumanising system of government - do you? So you need to let it go. Finally, in as much as I don't like Nigeria that much for being a failure, for failing black people after so much promise in the 60's and for keeping my people in a permanent state of perpetual retrogression - I'd say Nigeria has done a lot of Africa and the black folks. It's just a shame that Nigeria itself is a failure and it has failed its people. It's not just South Africa. I believe almost all Africa countries have at one time or the other benefited from Nigeria. Heck, Nigeria did pay the salaries of teachers and government workers in Jamaica and some other countries in the Caribbean in the 70's, during the oil boom. That's Nigeria for you. However, that doesn't negate the failure that the country is. I just hope they teach you lot your history in Nigeria! Hotep! 4 Likes |
