Villagers stop accommodating boko haram....You will cry

amen

next time the village shouldnt harbor boko haram.

Many of you see the things I write on Nairaland and conclude that I hate black people. This could not be further from the truth.

The backlash I have received against this messaged has necessitated that i do what i had been hitherto reluctant to do: I must release the evidence and let the black people of nairaland stare deeply into the horrible magnitude of the problem which afflicts this black race. Eugenics or extinction.

Brain capacity between the races:

IQ and brain size has around a .4 correlation, the latest brain imaging technology has verified this. We must keep in mind that there is an interplay between brain size and brain efficiency so the fact that a person has a smaller brain doesn't always mean they are less intelligent.

When measured will all the variables however, brain-size is one key piece of the puzzle of black dysfunction

You live the loser's reality.

do racial surgery to evade your silent woes,

do what Jackson did.

I love being black, thats why im trying to rid our race of stupid people.

2prexios:
your majestic thread has been closed, can you think of another sick titles?

and make sure you burrow very deep.

That's the way you always shield your ostrich head in vain and delusions.

only a fool call himself a sage.

If writing yeye poetry resulted in economic development africans would be the richest people on earth.

Is this all you got? Even dog language can translate this.

Well first the dog has to understand what the passage is saying, which will never happen. He will get closer at understanding it than you monkeys though

StarFlux:
You're a very funny man, and certainly not a linguist. Nearly all scientific terms in English are French lol! What are you even talking about? Amalgamated calcification of mollusk shells. Lol! Three French words in less than one sentence. French is a very accurate language, so gender agreement actually clears up many ambiguities. As I've said before: any language can do extensive borrowing. Nothing special about it. You might as well speak French as it is the original source language of nearly everything science-related in English.

Okay. So it had nothing to do with British and American dominance during WW2 and colonial powers. If you're going to come with ridiculous statements such as the one above, source it. Every one knows English as a world language has nothing to do with what you're saying, it's all tied to historical roots.


That English is capable of the most nuance, is a mere myth. Feel free to feed your own bias, but that doesn't make it more or less true.

There are published books released on Yoruba scientific terms. Feel free to browse a little: http://www.amazon.com/ENGLISH-SCIENCE-TECHNOLOGY-HANDBOOK-%C3%8CW%C3%89-%C3%8CL%C3%89W-ebook/dp/B00EXXDORQ

You can see for yourself the accuracy of the Yoruba language (same with many of our other native languages) and how it doesn't need to borrow words to express scientific ideas. Instead it binds words together like a thread. Elegantly. English can't do that, hence it borrowed.

bla bla bla, this is not a discussion over which European language is better. I really couldn't care less. You monkeys are trying to derail my point with strawman arguments. The fact of the matter is that all of them are better than African languages; French, German, Italian, Russian etc.

And this is because they evolved with a writing system.

I personally think the Lingua Franca of Africa should be English for self evident reasons. If you disagree that is just your stupidity, anyone with basic understanding of the world would not need to be convinced into this point of view.

And finally: The Yoruba language is not usable for science, you cant even go an entire day speaking Yoruba without inserting English vocabulary. No amount of brainless black arguing will change that fact.

PabloAfricanus:


What the above writer was trying to communicate is a concept, an idea, a mental picture...a description of some observable abstract or concrete reality.
As such it can be expressed in far fewer words in a language with a native understanding of the idea, concept or description being conveyed.

For example, the word acceleration is a Latin derived word is used to describe the rate of increase/decrease of speed.
It was coined by Western scientists when researching statics and dynamics.
While a coined word, acceleration today is accepted as an English word.
It might actually take 2 or more sentences to describe what is called "acceleration" in today's spoken Yoruba.
Such a verbose description would be equally as valid as the very succinct word "acceleration".
A culture or people who decided to independently research dynamics or statics...will invariably come up with their own words to describe
rates of change of direction, height, weight, speed, mass, volume etc.

Point is...it does not have to mirror other people's definitions which might even be unnecessarily verbose or not precise enough.
For example, the Eskimos have a very fine vocabulary of words for "snow" and the different ways of describing "snow behaviour".
Whereas in the English speaking world, the word "snow","sleet" suffice to describe frozen atmospheric water vapour, Central Siberian Yupik has 40 such terms, while the Inuit dialect spoken in Canada’s Nunavik region has at least 53, including “matsaaruti,” for wet snow that can be used to ice a sleigh’s runners, and “pukak,” for the crystalline powder snow that looks like salt.

Check this out from this article from the Washington Post

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/there-really-are-50-eskimo-words-for-snow/2013/01/14/e0e3f4e0-59a0-11e2-beee-6e38f5215402_story.html

If you have not figured it out yet...this is meat of it...the idea or concept being conveyed by the German in your quote does not have to be that verbose. At the end of the day, the writer is trying to describe an observed aspect of abstract or concrete reality.
Some African people if they want/like/endeavour can actually invent a single word or phrase to convey the exact same meaning your writer was trying to express.
It could be a single word or it could be more verbose.
Point is...it can be done today. The words and terminologies just have to be invented to describe all the observations, units and measurements. Just as ohms, volts, meters, farads, torque, inertia etc. were all invented by your white masters.

So holding up that abstract writeup in German on analytical geometry as a proof of the backwardness of African languages is well...just lame IMO. Propositional logic,negation,conjunction, disjunction, perpendicularity, orthogonality, Banach spaces, partial differentiation...are all symbolical and arbitrary inventions by Westerners and others to describe aspects of observed and measured phenomena.
Any similar effort done in say Fulbe or Xhosa would be equally valid as long as it coherent and meaningful to the readers.

If you give a hoot about Africa, you should actually start speaking and writing in one of the widely spoken languages like Hausa.
Or even better...prove the validity of all the superlatives you've been using to describe ya IQ by translating the above into say Kiswahili, Hausa or Amharic. Deal?

Try this...translate the following discussion into English or German.

Yetunde : Pelumi owon, o kare omo mi.
Pelumi : Iya eku ijo meta.
Yetunde: Ati ijo kan pelu.

I don't have time to read all this. And if I did spend the time to read it i'm sure that time would have been wasted. Condense your point into one paragraph next time.

Teempakguy:
why do you want to know?

Reading some articles about medicine shortages in Africa and was wondering if Nigeria is affected.

GorkoSusaay:
How ironic

how so?

makahlj2:
Yes, I am, unfortunately, due to excessive melanin in my skin. But... do you think it's inappropriate to respond with joke to a joke?

Black people are not dumb because they are black, the low IQ and the race are separate. The problem is that there are too many black people who happen to be low IQ.

Think of it as an individual with an illness. The illness can be cured

MorrowCaligari:
lol! i seriously doubt it.


you do know hausa even in the old days is a combination of different ethnicities right, hausa states like katsina kano and the rest, never got along. now, the fulanis have a much higher number than people think because these people will tell you for all that they know theyre hausa. there was a good number of fulanis living in hausa land back then, including Bil Foduye. Fulanis rose to prominence because of the fulani war, which they constituted the majority of rebels, but trust me, there was a good number of hausa peasants because the hausa rulers back then were unjust, infact, i read somewhere that one of Bil foduyes most trusted generals was a hausa man. and no, fulanis are not all peasants, theyre a nomadic ethnic group, its a lifestyle. and no, they are not the lords of the hausa, if youre talking about the monarchs, for every fulani monarch theres a corresponding hausa monarch. and not even all these monarchs that you think are fulani are fulani.



Yes, i am well aware of some fulanis who think theyre superior to hausas but whenever i meet such idiotts im happy to cut them to size. i simple thing is to ask them to speak their language, always gets them because they cant. Im a proud hausa man and i can hold my own against any bellend who tries that nonsense with me because i know my history and i know who i am and only a hausa bloke who doesnt know his history will even think the fulanis are remotely superior to us.

That being said, majority of fulanis i know have the idea of unity and some even identify as hausa, which i am against but just goes to explain our unity.

Aliko dangote is a hausa man, grand son of dantata, a proud hausa man who was once the richest man in west africa.

Sanusi lamido is a good fulani man, from my state and one that i respect very much, but if i were to chose a role model from kano state id choose Ibrahim maitama sule, dan masanin kano, who has a very vibrant mind as well, look him up.


Well, as for me, i dont really think ethnicity defines intelligence but if thats the case and given the evidences throughout history Id say hausas maybe the smartest ethnic group in Africa.

Personally I don't think there is any empirical basis for claiming the Hausa are the most intelligent. However the most trustworthy and peaceful? Yes, you could support that. I also believe most of the negatives in the region where brought in by outside forces and don't originate in mind of the Hausa people.

The Hausa also have a good well structured language which was actually taught at my university here in the U.S. The main thing I like about the group (because I actually do like the Hausa believe it or not) is the fact that it absorbs other groups into it and can coexist relatively peacefully as a result. This is really important for the development of large ethnic states. As I mentioned earlier, this lingustic/cultural conflation is one of the natural results of civilization advance, the fact that is occurred in the north demonstrates that the Sahel was a little further along in this process.

At the end of the day the Hausa is one of the great races of Africa. All of us have good aspects but we could all use some improvement also.

.

MorrowCaligari:
Well here are the facts i have, it seems most fulanis and most ethnic groups in the north speak hausa, live like hausas, eat and dress like hausas am i right? so what does domination mean? The brits are made up of different ethnic stocks, like anglo saxons, norse, romans and celts, is any group dominating the other? ave you thought that theyve accepted that even though theyre different they can still be one because they share these similarities?


These hausas you claim are the least smart ethnic group, are they the same hausas that built one of the most advance and civilized societies in Africa? the same hausas with their unique architecture and great cities? The same hausas who dominated saharan trade? the same hausas who could read and write long before any ethnic group in Nigeria?

Which makes me wonder where the igbos were all this while? if not for the white men, would they even been clothed or civilized? you ask why they are liable to crime maybe youre too biased to face the true answer. IQ just tests knowledge and not intelligence. give an iq test to people 1000 years ago, everyone will fail, that doesnt mean there weren't intelligent people. The fact that hausas achieved a lot on their own and were proud of what they achieved is why they were reluctant to succumb to western education at first but i assure you if hausas were as learned as other ethnic groups you'd be surprised.

i am assuming based on your stuupid assumptions that youre from the south, but see this is why youll never understand our dynamics, you dont know your history, you know nothing about us and that is why youll continue to succumb to us, the so called low IQ beings.


You are just like ben carson, the sort of Nigga the white masters want you to be, deceived into a false sense of superiority above your own people when in fact youre as dumb as they come.


leave this forum and go to a white one where they will appreciate your thoughts, boy.

I'm glad we cut through all the B.S and got straight to the point. Next time don't play games with me kid, speak your mind from the start and stop trying to be a smart-ass. I can see right through you.

I'm glad the people of the North get along, good for you. The fact of the matter is the Fulani, a small nomadic tribe conquered a settled agricultural developed society on their own territory. This is unprecedented in history and a compelling argument for low IQ, especially when you observe the Fulanis meagre position in every other society they occupy. The gypsies of west Africa, beggars everywhere, lords of the Hausa.

Deep down the Fulani know they are superior, why wouldn't they? Aliko Dangote, Sanusi, Yar' Adua, Lamido the entire aristocracy of north Nigeria is Fulani blood. There is also very little Hausa contribution in science, literature or really anything. When you look at Niger you see that the Hausa are perhaps one of the lowest IQ people in the entire world. A big part of the reason why Nigeria average IQ is so low is because of the Hausa contribution.

I couldn't care less either way, it doesn't interest me very much, but this is why I think the Hausa are the lowest IQ group in Nigeria.

Do Nigerian Hospitals have an adequate supply of Narcotic painkillers? Are they legal in the country?

Ayt27:
I was actually looking forward to compelling evidence and a comprehensive write-up you had prepared to back up your claims. Hoping you hit the nail or at least a nail on the head, then I open this up I see at most what can be described as compound sentence.

I go to your profile and look through it all, I smile to myself and say these short words. "Why am I not surprised"

Hey if you are trying to be intellectually honest, I am all ears.

Rossikk:
Satan. YOU came in here full of praise for the colonialists. I then showed you that they did virtually nothing despite ruling for over 60 years - no expressways, no universities, no power infrastructure, and thatched huts for courts, etc, and then you claim I am blaming them for their negligence and corruption. Are they beyond reproach? Hell no. Are our present leaders, who have performed better than the colonialists by miles, beyond criticism? Hell no. It is YOU who operates double standards by seeking to absolve the colonialists of their thievery, and place them as superior beings, when their record here clearly shows otherwise. Your attempts to glorify whites and belittle blacks has failed woefully. Now get lost from here, you charlatan, and go to some other site where less informed people might buy your ignoble, discredited, poisonous trash.

This is what is wrong you you people. You cant even think about anything without obsessing over whites... the whites are gone, its time to forget about them and move on.

Rossikk:
You're an idiot and a dunce. We are NOT "your people". You are a slave. We are free people. And save that ''negro'' crap for your idiot dad who clearly failed to raise you properly. Wild dog.

You aren't my people, my people are the 5% of black people who's minds are free.

Our job is to separate from you regressive niggas who are still blaming everything on white people and colonization when its actually your fault.

gatoyi:
The world filled with fear, terrorism, hate and climate change? Sure it is. This is the path that Imperialism has led humanity down - let's hope we, and the earth for that matter, survives. There's nothing wrong with living simply. There's nothing heavenly/advanced about the drudgery of a nine to five - no wonder some people snap (and apparently arm themselves with assault weapons to slay their workmates). This constant need for western-style advancement is what is draining the earth of its resources; is what has turned Nigeria into the dog eat dog world it has become. Money money money. What new, flashy thing can I buy with it? What lavish party can I throw? Rubbish. We need to decolonize our minds. I'll happily move to a peaceful, calm society free of all this rubbish.

Meanwhile Africans are reproducing 5X the rate of the rest of the world. Whether you like living simply or not, Africa needs to advance or it will decend into a living hell.

Imagine if ebola comes back and the west isnt there to save you?

Rossikk:
Tell that to your stup.id mother and stup.id siblings. Not forgetting your stup.id self. Need bleaching cream, stup.id?

No, i don't. I don't care about whites, im trying to improve my own people by getting us to look inwards instead of crying about colonialism in 2015.

wake up negro. The world is leaving you behind

Rossikk:
You are either a black Uncle Tom with nothing upstairs or a white impostor pathetically trying to push white worship.

Oh yes it does. If the "good posture" stems from standing at attention for your colonial master, it's hardly a praiseworthy scenario, or are you dumb?

You're a compound idiot if you think speaking with a British accent means you "speak English better".

Dunce, Africa is advancing as we speak, and will do so faster the quicker we get rid of ignorant, colonised, self hating scum like you.

See progress. If there is a race of people stupider than blacks that race is extint.

Rossikk:
Yeah..."recordings from the time period" show them speaking with a pseudo-British accent, which you tragically consider "superior". Their "good posture" and "standing with dignity" signifies their jobs as trained bodyguards and court clerks for your colonial rulers. It is YOU that needs to free your mind from mental slavery.

Again, can you stop thinking about white people for one second? lordie, you people are sad.

Good posture is good posture, it doesn't matter why. And the official language of Nigeria is English, they spoke English better. IF you think English is bad why don't we continue this conversation in your native language?

You people are the reason why Africa will never advance.

Rossikk:
It's all in your colonised mind. If someone tossed you one of those khaki shirts and shorts worn by those "handsome" people, you would throw it in the bin. I can't imagine you'd go for their haircuts either.

My comment has nothing to do with the white people, free your mind from this insecurity.

I'm just saying those guys are handsome for the circumstances, good posture and they stand with dignity. If you listen to recordings from the time period you would see that this superiority extends to speech as well.

Why do these men look more handsome upright and responsible than modern Nigerians?

Why does the black race go backwards.

kingston277:
TL; just skimmed. It's all just theatrics anyway.

Congrats, you read a few basic books that every soul whom has possessed an ounce of interest in human cultures has read. The truly dedicated ones however go beyond that and actually seek to learn the history & culture to understand how a group of people got to where they are today. Without preconceived bs.

You "researched" Africa's history but only mention a handful of post-colonial events and a few controversial but mildly relevant events outside of Africa by blacks. You are unable to even pretend you have more than superficial knowledge on the thousand-year history of the second largest continent on earth, you're just here to drum up attention with these click-bait topics. Thankfully others here have exposed your fraudulence early on.

As for the last part. If I haven't mentioned on here before, I will do once more. There is no such thing as race in the way you are describing. Define race? What are the parameters of where a race begins and ends? Geneticists looked at it and didn't find any "black" or "white" genes; They did find Igbo genes, however. Can't use skeletal forensics either, because each tribe is identifiable from their remains, like how they traced a 30,000 year old skeleton in Germany to the Khoisan. Not to mention forensics specialists classify "African" skeletal forms as Tropical because of the fact that native Australians and South Americans shared similar forms.

Smh. Some of the biggest actors I've seen on the internet have come from NL. Must be that failed education system mixed with abrahamic religion.

bla bla bla, someone like me would be demeaning myself to waste time arguing with a simple minded person like you.

Show me an IQ above 100, and then we will talk. Otherwise just go fuq yourself.

self selected eugenics

Spyker:
Nigerians have low IQ yet many Nigerians excel in their studies abroad when compare to the so called high IQ Nations. This is a racist ideology published by the foreign media. The only difference is that we have depended so much on the western nation right from the slave trade days up till today. Coupled to bad leadership and corruption. Many technology discovered in Africa were stolen by the Europeans and made theirs. Common groundnut is now labelled peanuts. Utter rubbish.

Low IQ nigerians are not able to leave nigeria.

Ednite:
F.Y.I top three countries with the fastest growing economy in the WORLD are
1 china
2 india
3 ethiopia

i am not trying to make my country superior but we Ethiopians believe in our selves not a foreigner. there is only one telecom here, and that's ethiotelecom. was it because air-tel don't want to or MTN also doesnt wana work here? NO! we rejected because we believe we Ethiopians are able to run a telecom, the same goes to our banks, we own allll of it. and lot of investors want to invest in our country more than any other African country because it's soo peaceful. we sweated to turn our country to a royal. Now look at all of the companies here, their plan for 2025. you will get inspired with what they are doing. Even look at Ethiopian airlines, running to have 140 destinations for 2020 having 90 destinations currently. It was not supposed to be a reason but, ask if we have oil? NO! ask if we have port? NO! we built this country. no other foreigner have a hand in it. even they were trying to ruin it stealing our statues, heritages can u believe it? we have many heritages stolen by Italians, Germans and Britain in their museum!

I like your passion, but its starting to look like false pride. Its good to love where you come from, but when you aggrandize the accomplishments of a failure you grow complacent and lose the spark needed to make much needed change.

even if Ethiopia maintained a 10% growth rate forever, it would still take 100 years even to reach the GDP per capita of botswana., 100 years to reach the GDP of another backwards African country. You do not realize the hopelessness of your countries current trajectory. When there is nothing, people will take pride in nothing.

What Ethiopia actually needs is population control.

PabloAfricanus:
Easy on him bro...he's just projecting his anger on his kith and kin.
It has just dawned on him the level of work that needs to be done to develop Africa to world class standards.
Rather than see it as a call to duty...he's just chickening out and ranting to cover his cowardice.
Just like other Africans of his ilk who shirked the responsibility to develop Africa and ran away to Western countries...reality will hit him hard one day...when he's reminded of his status as a foreign black immigrant.
He doesnt belong there...and he knows it.
kleek here's a poser for ya....generations to come will call you and I cowards for not doing something about the condition of Africa.
Any ideas?

I'm not from your generation, don't include me in your failure. If you wanna know what i'm gunna do, its right here:

https://www.nairaland.com/2772412/africas-political-situation-caused-low

PabloAfricanus:
There's the rub of it dude...you actually think your privilege of having a father who struggled to provide an enabling environment for you in a white man's country equates to you being "special". Do you know how many millions of Africans have migrated into Europe, America and Asia over the years? It is expected that you will receive a superior education from superior educational institutions over there in Western countries...by virtue of the fact that Western universities are more excellent than African ones.
That applies to you and all children of African immigrants out there. If you excelled there...its not entirely attributable to your perceived genetics or what not. Environment plays a large part. Also you could actually come from a family of really smart folks...and yes their smartness woulda rubbed of you too. But attributing some "superior" IQ to yaself cos you were privileged to acquire a better education due to ya pop's efforts reeks of inferiority complex. You got no point to prove. Time and chance just aligned well for you.


I don't believe ya. Buzz me up when you have packed and come back to Africa...and have actually joined a political party or started making moves to bring positive visible change to Africa.

First off IQ is .5 to .8 genetic, I don't know who taught you niggas that education makes a person intelligent, it doesn't. My dad has smart people, genes and so do I.

I'm 22, in college, I have room to talk. Don't get it twisted, i'm not from the generation who failed Africa, you guys are. I don't how old you are specifically, and unlike you i'm too smart to make sweeping presumptions about someone i don't know. The fact of the matter is, however, that most of you Nairalanders are 45+ year old dusty African niggas who know nothing but how to talk. talk talk talk talk. And I don't give a flying rats ass if you believe me or not, your opinion is not worth a fart in a rainstorm.

My family is not like your family, we actually do things. My father has gone back to start two businesses, not yeye importing but actual production. How many people has your family employed pabloafricanus, how many Fulbright scholarships have you used to educate your people? none?

PabloAfricanus:
Nope. From your arguments...you made it sound like other Africans are to blamed for not being privileged like your family...you know the American education thingy. Thing is there are also many intelligent and probably smarter folks here in Africa like you...you just happen to be among the privileged few to escape the mediocrity obtainable down here. That's what it is.
It's not a function of superior "intelligence" or some super gene you have. If you had not been privileged and still lived in Africa with ya fam...I'm pretty sure you would have either accepted your fate and quit complaining or just gone nuts with frustration.


All the stuff you are quoting up there was developed or taught you by...white men. All that Nobel Laurate Sperm Bank thingy...LOL
Imagine you living off the hard work and ingenuity of white men...turning around to call your brothers in ya village idiats.
You are just another black African immigrant...neither you nor your forefathers contributed to the building plan of say New York or DC.
You are living off the magnanimous nature of white men who allowed your family settle and prosper in their midst.
The social amenities you are enjoying were planned, implemented and financed by white men.
All the buzz words about intelligence you are throwing around were invented by white men.
Your disgust at the backwardness of where you come from is understandable...but who will develop your village to be like Manhattan?
Who will undertake the task of organizing your backward village to have a semblance of say crime ridden Compton...huh?
You like many black Africans of your ilk who revel in their perceived "intelligence" are only running away from your responsibility.
In plain words...you flatter your self and your status.

Back to the topic...
The Europeans when they landed on the shores of North America met it a virgin fertile land peopled by native indians living off the land.
They single handled turned that vast expanse of land into the beautiful urban paradise you revel in today.
Infact your forefathers contributed their own bit by selling the white their kith/kin to pick cotton in the white men's farms and siring more slaves to continue harvesting more cotton for massa. How dumb or intelligent is that?
From the political system to the business/industrial sector to the vibrant American culture...it was the genius of white men that made it happen.
Who will do the same for Africa?
Any takes?

Nope, i'm not flattering myself. My father grew up in a dirt poor village, not even in the city. They got their water from a stream just like any other poor people in Nigeria. He became successful literally though academics. I hate to burst your bubble, but when someone is the best student in every single class they take doors tend to open for them.

..... maybe you have never been in the situation, and thats why you dont know?

And you are preaching to the choir with all this. I have already decided I will go back to Africa, for either business, non-profit work or politics.
