Difrent: You are not totally correct. It's not inferiority complex but the sad truth is that Africa is lagging behind in developmental strides globally. Many Asian countries were like this especially the south east Asians but with political and economic reforms they are now on a path to greatness..... Africa has a lot to learn from them.
Stop this ''Africa'' nonsense.
Is Africa a single country?
Some African countries are doing very well, and some are doing not so well but ok, while some are sluggish but still growing, and some are doing badly and need to improve.
You cannot just paint Africa with one negative brush.
That 20k blacks have moved to Ghana isn't because of any patriotism but an economic strategy.... Europe and America is becoming too expensive to live in so thousands of Migrants are retiring to Latin America, Asia and Africa...
African-Americans moving to Africa has next to nothing to do with the cost of living in America.
They are returning to Africa because of the effects of YOUTUBE, where African vloggers have shown them that the western media has been LYING to them about Africa all their lives.
They are returning because they can see that AFRICA, their motherland, is a FAST-DEVELOPING REGION unlike CNN and BBC's racist, ultra-negative misrepresentation of the continent, which many of you on this forum, stupidly parrot.
Incredible. These folks have been out of Africa for anything up to 600 years, but the spirit, traditions, and character of the Motherland are still very active and vibrant in their souls and in their lives.
Fantastic and impressive.
A true home away from home.
Welcome to the South American and Caribbean nation of Suriname.
tubolancer: You continue to blame the Federal government, what are the governor and the men in that state doing? How can Fulani be raiding that state continuously without being challenged, what is the population of the locals against the rampaging Fulani militia? Why are the Fulani people finding comfort in that state, killing them at will?
Good points.
Why have they not established their ‘Amotekun’ or ESN?
That should be their top priority.
I’ve no idea why they seem to let themselves be sitting ducks for these illiterate herdsmen.
Perfectbeing: How many universities, power stations, asphalted roads etc did the British built in Nigeria in their 77 years of colonisation? How many do we have in our 63 years of independence?🤡
Don’t mind him.
A FOOTPATH led to his village during colonial rule, not a road. Not even a ‘bad road’.
tsdarkside: bros,its a tragedy....no matter what blacks do,people like him will still think whites can do better....
its like fallin in love with somebody that robbed you ran away,returned and beat you up added to it.... we will have to let his kind behind....
Stockholm Syndrome.
It’s a psychological state whereby you develop affection for, and trust in your exploiter and abuser. Many Nigerians suffer from this condition in relation to so-called whites, and it’s tragic.
Bobloco: A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Daniel Bwala, has suggested that the current administration of President Bola Tinubu may end up like his predecessor.
He noted that this was exactly how Nigerians were told to be patient for eight years while the Buhari administration was busy doing very little or nothing at all.
Bwala said that Tinubu has already spent 31.8 percent of his first term in office and has only succeeded in raising the sufferings of Nigerians during this period.
“When people talk about being patient and waiting, you have to look at the time frame the public officer is expected to execute the work,” Bwala, who was the spokesperson of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council for the 2023 elections, said on Channels TV on Monday.
“The President has just been voted into a term of four years. He is eight months into the term which constitutes 31.8 percent of the total time that he has.
“He has less than 70 percent time in government, when is that going to happen? When President Buhari took over in 2015 it was the same language and we patiently followed and he finished the first term and finished the second term.
“When there is a fundamental problem with policy, time is irrelevant, 30 years it will not work. Most of the economists I’ve listened to have faulted the President’s budget with which he was supposed to deliver the agenda flat-out…
“We want to see deliverables. Nigerians are tired of English, Mathematics, Economics, Science, and Technology. We want to see practical things,” he said.
princemillla: The year African states eye was opened.
It's so good to know we are still enslaved.
We practice almost everything colonial master brought. Mind slavery is the worst of slavery.
No African or fewer African states practice their indigenous religion. You are either Christian or Muslim.
Fewer African state name their kids local name. Everyone wants to bear foreign name (highest slavery) you can never see white import names from African.
Our wedding has gone to the dogs. No one wants to practice traditional wedding without practicing the white ritual wedding ( white /reception).
African has woken, but should ends this mind slavery.
Almost every of our activities from democracy we practice to the common stuff we do, eat are all what the colonial master brought. A look into Indian n China should set our eyes n mind aright.
dikings: Nigeria has never accepted they are one from the begining. We are a forced nation with various ethnic differences. Divide the damn contraption and watch everyone flourish.
North as a whole dey ur dey, Middle belt can be part of you since you have alot in common. South west (Oduduwa republic) dey ur dey. South south (Niger delta) dey ur dey. South east (Biafra) already long overdue.
All nations can manage what they have in their regions to develop themselves. We can still inter-trade and all be happy and comfortable. No Marginalization, No tribalism, bigotry, whatsoever.
This can be peacefuly achieved. The idea of operating largest economy in Africa is just an avenue for looting, more looting and relooting. I wonder why its so difficult for us to do this and end all this menace
Abeg shut up jare.
Your belly right now is full because of federal allocation from Abuja to your state, with the funds coming from the Niger Delta oil fields.
If we all ''go our ways'', is it your palm kernels and garri that you will use to develop your region?
Nobody is stopping any state from developing today.
Some states have a higher GDP than entire African countries.
Your corrupt state and local leaders will not become angels simply because you've left Nigeria to become a small banana republic.
Redhot0007: The church belongs to them and they have the right to determine what happens. If you are catholic and you are not comfortable with this decision, you have the following options: 1. Pray to God in your home, he will answer you. 2. Open your own church, invite God. 3. Change church 4. Atheism 5. Paganism
Good luck
You forgot AFRICAN RELIGION.
And if you dare call it ''paganism'', may thunder fire your homosexual head there!
Bluffly: How do you mean he is not Messi or Ronaldo. Stop debasing your own. Talk to him and stop comparing to put him down. He can be better than those duos
He is a typical Nigerian youth drowned in inferiority complex.
Foreign and white is always better in their colonised heads.
deji17: Stories like this is common in the US. Some of us laugh when ignorant people that has never left the shore of Nigeria will be telling you about "saner climes".
It's like the way other Africans look and appreciate Nigeria based on what they see in our movies and music videos. The big houses, nice dress, big cars, opulence, the portrayal of abundant wealth etc. And many Nigerians will be wondering, what are they talking about? Is it the same Nigeria or they are discussing another Nigeria?? US is not just what you see on movies. The glamour, the splendour, the affluence, etc. There are ugly sides of the USA too. But where they are smarter than us is that they don't denigrate their country for any reason.
Sladem05: Bright future? There’s a reason Europeans called you “the dark continent”. This whole thread is bogus.
SHUT UP YOUR SLAVE LIPS THERE.
Spokesman for ''Europeans''.
Better get it into your thick slave skull that black Africans civilized the Europeans in the ancient world and as recently as between 791 and the 1500s via the MOORS. And it was the Moorish influence that led them out of THEIR Dark Ages and into their Renaissance, which was the springboard for the Industrial Revolution.
Blasted empty heads drowned in racial inferiority complex because you're historical illiterates, with ZERO knowledge of your past.
The only African nations that have constant power supply like what is seen in developed is the North Africans nations like Egypt, Morocco etc.
You don't KNOW that, so SHUT UP.
What research have you conducted to make this claim?
You think your light skin worship is what constitutes research?
Tetrahedron: It’s not we that called Nigeria a zoo or shithole, it’s Donald Trump that did!
Blame your leaders that have made Nigeria a shithole and not the messengers
Shut your lying lips, you Igbo devil.
Trump NEVER called Nigeria a 'shithole'.
That was something you IPOB outcasts dreamt up after the lunatic criminal racist Trump insulted AFRICAN countries in general with that ugly term.
And you really show your classless level by parroting a pea brain like Trump, who is so thick and ignorant that he can't even spell basic words in English, his own native language.
His officials said his attention span was under 5 minutes when they deliberated state issues.
The man is dumb as a brick, in addition to being a criminal with 90 felony charges on his head as he awaits trial.
A name given to a bunch of Black Africans by racist thieving whites to insult our forefathers and foremothers...
Nigger Area that is what is was and they funkyfied it to Nigeria...
What they did to us their children out to be pay reparations... as they are enjoying their stadiums and airports and EPL things..
But then again, you still call yourself what your slave masters called your slave ancestors.....
Shame LOL
Shut your dumb, ignorant lips there, you dunce.
The word NIGER has signified BLACK for thousands of years, long before the British existed.
The word is even used in the Bible.
''At the beginning of Acts 13, we find a list of additional leaders in the Antioch church. These leaders, including "Simeon who was called Niger," had a hand in sending Barnabas and Paul on their first missionary journey to other gentile cities in response to the work of the Holy Spirit.
Simeon, a Man Called Niger So why is Simeon significant in this story? Because of that phrase added to his name in Acts 13:1: "Simeon who was called Niger."
In the original language of the text, the word "Niger" is best translated as "black." Therefore, many scholars have concluded in recent years that Simeon "who was called Niger" was indeed a Black man. He is presumed to be an African gentile who had transplanted to Antioch and met with Jesus.''
So wherever your head is getting that garbage of adding an extra 'g' to 'Niger Area' to use the N word to insult Nigerians, kindly go educate yourself, you dumbass ignoramus.
Even Flora Shaw, Lugard's wife who suggested the name after the River Niger, was herself a brilliant historian who wrote in her epic book 'A tropical dependency', that in the ancient world, ''the leading race of the western world was a black race'', and the west owed the fount of its original enlightenment to black Africans
She was no racist. So NIGERIA meant NIGER AREA, just as she said it did.
