Nauttyprof: To take this guy words seriously is to have one's head checked. Were people not being prisoners in Anambra while he was the Governor also? These politicians don't have our interest at heart, they are first concerned about themselves, their ambition and investments.
Here is someone talking about being a prisoner in Nigeria but has millions of Naira to dole out
IN ADDITION TO BEING A LIAR WHO CLAIMED HE HAD DINNER WITH THE US PRESIDENT WHERE THE LATTER PAID FOR HIS OWN DINNER.
IMAGINE THE SORT OF LIES OBI WOULD TELL AS PRESIDENT, IF HE COULD LIE OVER AN UNNECESSARY THING LIKE THIS.
MetalJigsaw: What is false in what he said oo chai! why are some Nigerians like this?😫
HE IS A LYING, CORRUPT LOOTER.
WHERE DID OBI GET HIS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM?
WHAT JOB DOES HE DO?
A CRIMINAL WHO WORKED FOR THIEVING MILITARY DICTATOR AND MURDERER ABACHA WHEN OTHERS WERE RISKING THEIR LIVES FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY IN NADECO IS PLAYING SAINT TODAY AFTER LOOTING.
TopBanter: This Obi is a clown beyond belief. An awfully dull and unintelligent parody of a leader always making disparate and asinine examples because of a desperation to 'famz' everyone including even criminals in prisons and lunatics in asylums.
The same clown who admits he takes advice from a madman now wishes to equate Nigerians to prisoner merely because he wishes to 'famz' inmates he is visiting who have been correctly and justly incarcerated for their crimes.
Na wa for this dude and his desperation to always talk patronisingly to Nigerians as if they are all dullard like him.
DON’ T MIND THE CORRUPT CRIMINAL WHO REFUSED TO PAY DOCTORS IN ANAMBRA FOR A WHOLE YEAR.
HellVictorinho6: One of the reasons i dont believe in Nigeria is the amount of white supremacists there
I will rather be a REFUGEE IN GHANA
How can skin color determine anything apart from skin color?
Why should we even talk about skin color here?
spits
It’s sad, my brother.
The other day I was watching a video on YouTube of some white guy touring Nigeria. If you see how they were treating him as if he was some kind of god, it was so shameful I couldn’t even watch it to the end.
kkins25: What does this mean? You can aswell say when Africa colonized the earth... because homosapiens all originated from Africa..
You talk as if everybody knows this.
Most of these Nigerian youths don’t know this stuff you are saying.
You’ll be shocked by how ignorant they are.
They need to see videos like this because they don’t know anything, and regard whites as gods from another planet, not the bleached-out descendants of ancient African settlers they are.
tsdarkside: dont dwell in the past....use the past to move forward in the future.... if you didnt fvckedup soo bad in the past,the ol world would still be black today.....
You are talking rubbish.
When white people bombard you with films and documentaries about the Roman Empire etc, do you attack them for “dwelling in the past”?
No. You enjoy the movie and even cram the dialogue.
So why are you objecting to Africans learning their history?
Beremx: Na we colonize yet we remain the most backward continent in the world. So what's the big deal?
Dumbo. Instead of insulting yourself out of self hatred, why not shut your dirty lips, learn your history, and contribute your quota to your continent’s development?
9182736455O1999: Agreed. Blacks were the sole inventors of basic technology in the past. We're talking about the present and the question still remains "Why?" In as much as we know that no country has it all. Why are the black nations more ridden with underdevelopment and ridicule?
MEDIA MISREPRESENTATION.
African economies are growing fast.
You will NEVER see this on CNN because they are RACISTS who wish to portray black nations in the worst possible light.
Here are the facts:
''According to the African Development bank, middle-class Africans have tripled to 313 million (approximately 34% of the continent’s population) over the last 30 years.
The rise of the African middle class is due to the continent’s strong economic development, move towards a stable and salaried job culture, and a shift away from traditional agricultural activities.
......Moreover, according to a 2019 World Bank report, poverty rates in Africa decreased from 54% in 1990 to just over 41% in 2015 (affecting around 400 million people). If these trends continue, Africa’s poverty rates could reach as low as 23%.''
Where do you see ANY of these facts reported, or represented in world media?
Where do you see this middle class Africa that has TRIPLED in 30 years to 313 million, portrayed in the world media?
NOWHERE.
So you can either believe the lies of CNN, BBC et al, that Africa is irredeemably backward, or you can STUDY THE REAL FACTS AS THEY ARE, which are that AFRICA IS RISING.
nairalanda1: China used to be very 'diverse' (and even today, there are a lot of 'minority' tribes...you may have heard of the Tibetans and Uyghurs, who both speak different languages). Conquest over the centuries created the dominant 'Han' nation.
Agreed. But in Africa, there was no impetus in any ethnic group to conquer the entire continent, which would have meant killing millions of people. It just wasn't considered.
The inhospitable terrain, from desert here to thick mangrove forest there, likely also was a disincentive to large-scale conquest of the continent.
Plus Africans were egalitarian people who accepted the multiplicity of states and kingdoms.
nairalanda1: Another reason why black people are behind is resource dependency.
The reason why Japan is developed is because in the 19th century, they realized they were under threat from the West , and they also relaized that there wasn't enough land for their growing population and rice growing.
So, at the end, they began to industrialize.....to save themselves. Result, Japan is advanced.It took them a while.
Most African countries, have lots of resources. But they also have large land mass, and a population that wants to be fed...now. Telling them to suffer for a while while the Leader's industrial plans continue is not advisable. So, we sell resources, fund subsides, free education, and when the money runs out, take loans to continue.
Also, crucial to Japan, China and Singapore's development was the development of high standards of education...even way beyond what the West does. If we applied those standards in Nigeria, prep for WAEC would start at primary 5. Plus, we have a large uneducated class, and we need to educate as many as possible.(Not that government hasn't tried. El Rufai tried to bring Finnish standards to Kaduna state education, but he was labelled a demon for trying to sack teachers who did not measure up)
Africa is most similar to China in terms of its setup. The difference is that China does not have the ethnic diversity of Africa, and so it was easy to bring them under centralised rule by the Han people who comprise 91% of the population. This centralised rule also became authoritarian, which meant that policies were put in place quickly without debate, arguments etc, while dissidents were repressed/imprisoned/executed by the government, which holds no elections till date.
In Africa's case, the ethnic diversity made it impossible for the continent to unite under a centralised authority, which made it easier to conquer and be balkanised by the Europeans after they introduced firearms..
Little21: 1. Black people are slow in thinking. 2. They would rather value other people stuffs than value theirs. They don't wanna hear what you have to say if it's not in foreign language or foreign culture.
Some parents will go as far as beating their children to almost death because he/she can't speak foreign language.
They don't value whatever is theirs. They see no importance in making it known to the world that this is who they are, they would rather be someone they are not. Cuz being who they really are, is disgraceful to them.
Your prostitute mother is ''slow in thinking'', you stupid animal.
You think you know anything? This topic is beyond your brain capacity please
I am older than you, and I KNOW 1,000 times more about the BLACK RACE than your entire family times 100.
You need to SHUT UP, stop feeling inferior to other races, and stand up like a man created by the Almighty, instead of reasoning like a stupid maggot who thinks his skin colour makes him inferior.
Without that melanin that gives you a black or brown skin, you would not be alive today, because your ancestors would have perished in the African sun.
Your dark skin is a GIFT from God, and you are dumb and brainwashed to consider yourself inferior because of it.
franchasofficia: Only God knows the answer to this worrisome question.
All you said are nothing but the truth. I believe its beyond our control, it has something to do with our origin, something is definitely wrong with the black man's origin and creation.
I'm a black man and there is NOTHING wrong with MY ''origin and creation''.
Speak for your damn self and your family. Mor.o.n.
nairalanda1: We are behind because when most African nations got independence in the 1960s, we had a problem
A large poor underclass, a tiny middle class and a even tinier rich class.
This meant that governments , most of which wanted us to advance as quickly as possible had two choices
1. A long period of industrialization which meant more suffering for some time. OR
2. Mass welfare projects like subsides and free education to bring as many people as possible to the middle class
We chose no 2. And the result was a huge welfare project built on a tiny revenue stream ( Corruption made matters worse).
Which forced us to take loans to keep up which led to debt and more debt.
We should have chosen no 1. But that would have meant that generations would have sacrificed in deep poverty before we saw the benefits.
Now THIS is what we call intelligent analysis.
I don't necessarily agree with your point, but you are speaking about Africans as if they are HUMANS BEINGS, not like some of these mentally colonised nitwits programmed to believe they are 'inferior'.
junketer: Insult me all you want, na you sabi. I have visited a lot of african countries. I am in south africa as i am writing this so i know what i am talking about. White neighborhood in SA and Black neighborhood in SA are completely different. Say all you want but facts are facts. We have refused to grow as a people. You are the colonised one. Do you celebrate xmas, easter, are you a christian?, do you have english or christian name? Did you take pre wedding pictures? Did you do white wedding? If you have or done any of these things i listed then you are the colonised one. Keep deceiving yourself.
Air head.
Have you spent even one hour of your useless life studying the history of South Africa and its racial disparities?
So you just enter a country and see one set of people living in nice, pristine surroundings and another living in rough settlements, and you assume automatically that the latter are inferior?
Adult reasoning like a 3 year old.
So the people in clean, nice, Banana island, Ikoyi, and Asokoro in Abuja are superior beings to people that live in Ajegunle?
No?
Why not, because they are blacks?
If they had been whites, you would have used their living in Banana Island and Asokoro as 'evidence' of their 'superiority', just as you're doing with South Africa.
NO, I'm not a christian. Neither am I a muslim.
I reject all foreign religion.
Name the black countries you have visited out of the 60+ in existence, to make racist statements against blacks.
junketer: We as blacks don't like ourselves. Black on black hate. See one up there writing we invented speech, WTF. The other one wrote we are fastest growing economy. Statistics given to him by the whites. Look at the useless challenges we do on tiktok, dance, shake you a55, who has the biggest waist, jollof rice, nothing that helps anyone. Bring black people to any nice area, leave them there then come back after 2 years, that place will be a mess. Anywhere in the world where black people are more, they run the place down. Check. We have refused to grow.
You are a BLASTED, THICK MO.RO.N.
Proper mentally colonised dunce of the first order.
Out of the 60 black countries in existence, how many have you visited, to make such categorical nasty remarks?
Pathetic thing drowned in self-hatred.
Without the black people you are insulting, your blasted thick head will be stuck in a cave today, unable to type that vomit spewing from your rotten mind, because it was BLACK AFRICANS who invented writing, the mining of minerals, iron smelting, the calendar, mathematics, pioneered the sciences, medicine, laws, architecture, philosophy, religion, and other strides, over thousands of years, when these newcomers to civilisation - the so-called whites, were ignorant savages living in caves of the Caucasus mountains of Russia.
Even as recently as the last few centuries, it was BLACK AFRICANS, known as the MOORS, who pulled Europe out of its Dark Ages and into their Renaissance between 711 and 1492. The Renaissance was the springboard for the IndustrIal Revolution.
So without BLACK AFRICANS, there would have been no Industrial Revolution either.
TILL TODAY, Europeans have festivals where they dress up in BLACK FACE to celebrate the BLACK AFRICAN MOORS who civilized them between 711 and 1492.
Nearly 800 years of black African dominance of EUROPE, which of course you know NOTHING about, being an illiterate of your own history.
So you can take your inferiority complex and stick it up your dumb, mentally colonised head.
gidgiddy: The problem of black Africa, or should I say black Africans, is what I call backward mentality
Others are thinking 300 years ahead, the black African is thinking 300 years backwards
The inability to adapt to changing times and move forwards has eluded the black African. A typical example is much of the developed world where gays and lesbians are no longer judged for their sexual orientation, as long as it is consensual. However, a typical black African will want to kill a person who does not conform to the normal sexual convention.
In other words, the black African is still ready to kill his fellow human being over what people no longer care about in the West, showing his still rather low level of value for human life
But homosexuality is banned in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Middle East, etc etc.
In those places you are more likely to be killed, or punished severely for being gay than in Africa.
Why don't ''forward looking'' white countries accept polygamy, which Africans practise?
Very ''backward mentality'' from the whites there.
And why do whites judge human beings by the colour of their skin?
Very backward, savage and ignorant mentality there by the whites.
KosiGee: This is bad news for democratic republic of congo and the rest of subsahara Africa. Congolese people should vehemently reject this. There are lots of other countries with enough landmass and similar culture and religion with the Palestinians that should be approached. Saudi Arabia is just about same landmass with Congo. Saudi Arabia is 2,149,690 sq km with 35.4 million people while Congo is approx 2,344,858 square km but with about 106,262,808.
D R Congo has nothing in common with the Palestinians. It’s a deal that will bring them flood of tears 15years from now. Iran is about 1,648,195 square km, why haven’t they offered to take them in? Countries of North Africa like Egypt, Libya, Algerianor even Sudan have enough space to accommodate Palestinians, why DR Congo??
Congolese government is playing with fire.
They cannot do anything in Congo. If they try any shiit there, they will be massacred.
But it's probably best to keep them away, just in case.
Sunnyconvo: The question is why are we as black peoples not making the same strides today?
One race cannot dominate forever bro... this world is turn by turn. Today Asia is slowly taking over the mantle from Europe/US.
Africa will take over from Asia.
I've seen reports hailing Africa as the 'next China'. Our turn will come, and by then, these whites you people regard as invincible today, will be the wretched of the Earth. I suspect they will destroy themselves in war. The endless enmity between their two ideological blocks led by Russia on one hand, and the US on the other, could be their undoing.
In the next 60 to 80 years, Africa could be at the very top.
