My buroda, you get eye see o. Not like the rest of us wet dey celebrate crumbs.

The water, sugar and cocoa companies have never made any significant investments in Africa. Indeed, they make less investments today than they did when they were paying tax to colonial masters.

In the first place African countries do not know how much profit they make. Same with Oil companies.

It is worse today than colonial days because their African Executives cater to foreign shareholders and launder money out as kickbacks to hide profits .

Check Ghana forensic analysis of chocolate profits for the amount that got to African countries.

So if monkey dey work and bamboo dey chop, if both are happy, weytin be your own biz?

COMPAQ:
This investment is all well and good, but Nigeria needs more real manufacturing investment. Not investment in soft drinks, beer and cigarette that will kill our 200m people and give us health problems in the future.

We need to also see $1bln investment in solar and wind farms, white products manufacturing (ac,s, fridges, freezers, washing machines, etc) solar panels, etc

So you guys still do not understand Tinubu. Ask Lagosians.

This is how he bowed and prostrated to Pa Dawudo until he replaced Funso Williams.

He later kicked PA Dawodu to his grave in regret.

Hausa/Fulani know his game well.

A lot has changed

When politicians twist your brain, you would vote not only against your interest but elect Presidents and Supreme Court judges that are worse than sexual abusers.

Not only in South Africa and Nigeria but in countries you worship as Paradise.

Does anyone old enough know of any rebellious act young Wole Soyinka did not support or even staged?

The same Soyinka that was almost killed for supporting Biafra curse was labeled a traitor by the same Igbo!

Obasanjo was the detribalized Nigerian because he brought Igbo back from the doghouse and appointed them to powerful positions while ignoring his own people. He even sent "shoot on sight" order to Lagos. What do Igbo call him today?

No need to mention another traitor named Fajuyi.

Yoruba have been warned, you die for Igbo curse, you die for fun.

Yes, Azikiwe was not home during the coup because he knew about it. Do you know of any President, ceremonial or not, that was okay with his own overthrow?

Akinjide and others came out that they never handed power to the Military. It was a lie also repeated by Azikiwe and planted by the so-called Acting President, Nwafor Orizu another Igbo.

We know where they belong.

Praxis758:
An average nigerian leader is a tribal supremacist who prioritise his ethnic interest above national, posterity and collective interests.

The only detrabilised and pan/nationalistic leader Nigeria ever had was Olusegun Obasanjo. He never tiltled towards his ethnic interest during his days as both head-of-state and president.

All I see is cuniman die cuniman beriam.

Soon, di interest and penarity go grow pass Nejeria sef.

Come see better business. So some of us dey waste our time trying to get rich. Beta way dey.

Have you guys ever wondered why the son of Dan Tata family with all his money failed to make it in United States.

But came back home as Dangote and became the richest African. Even foreigners like Trump will tell you what their friends say.

Nigeria is a good place to make money. But only if you can hold your nose.

Ask yourself why why why?

Where did Sudan Mo Ibrahim before he came back to Africa?

I think there is another British taxi driver named Adenuga.

There are many unknowns making it in Africa that are not as loud. Of course they are not enough because of overseas glamor where you "can work half as hard as in Nigeria and make it twice as big." Ai dey laff O!

Unfortunately, with food don ready crowd, Olorunsogo, their home is shiithole and grass is greener overseas.

Chai! See likes. No wonder you are falling over one another through desert, sea and Belarus to get to Promised Land. The land your fathers, the oppressors you refused to confront at home created for you, abi?

Then you wash your mouths on those whose fathers and mothers created the greatest wealth on Earth through slave labor as lazy members of gangs and baby mama's.

Biko, Look at the mirror!

FalseProphet1:
Because Nigerians naturally are husslers and hard working people, so if they apply half of the effort they use in Nigeria over there in the USA, they'd become millionaires.

Also, the American system is built in such a way that there's reward for geninue hard work. Over here in Nigeria, no matter how qualifed or how hard you've worked, if your name isn't Abdul, Mohammed, Aisha...and come from a certain section of the country, you're just wasting your time.

By 2023, more than 98% of Nigerian youths would have successfully migrated out of this hell hole.

This I have seen.

The same stereotypes.

It's the opposite or other way round: If Nigerians work half as hard as they do overseas, Nigeria would be a better place.

Stop beating your chests. Education is not the only way to riches but the only way to progress in your country.

Meaning informed enough to pursue discoveries and inventions to Arts and Sciences while riches come later.

Asians are the most Educated, not Nigerians. You find them in places Nigerians are yet to climb. Yet, they don't beat their chests like Nigerians.

If successful Nigerians confess to you how they have to work day and night, school and work at the same time; just to live like their white counterparts, all these silly stereotypes will stop.

Why are people so miserable, what is this for?

Vickkymanny:
Girl, can you just do us a favor and die?!

Where can I get this song, original or remix:

Mo ri sisi Kan to njo Ku Simi laya

Ewa woran, MI o le jo ru eyi o

There used to be a country called Nigeria.

Ask them what money has done to that country and learn.

Sometimes you just have to stop and wonder.

With so many conscientious Youths and minds in Nigeria, where did we go wrong. Some are so mad, they shed their anger on hungry petty thieves in the market while old senile crooks walk free.

No amount of prayers can save Nigeria. God is not coming down, heaven helps those who help themselves.

#ENDSARS Report has vindicated the Youths of this Godforsaken country again.

Where can I get this song, original or remix:

May his soul rest in peace:

While it is true that Aliko Dangote is opening a family office in New York, it is false that he is investing 60 percent of his assets in the United States. His interview with David Rubenstein reveals that he is planning to invest ‘a[b] major percentage’ of[/b] his company’s future revenue outside Africa. Investing outside Africa could be anywhere in the world, not necessarily the USA.

The article reminds me of the days we used to think only underemployed educated Africans faced discrimination in factories and low class jobs from their high school dropouts coworkers and supervisors.

Come to find out it was worse at the highly professional levels.

Who do these people think they are talking to!

In Nigeria, we could have got them fired immediately. Nonsense and infra

I can't read all the comments but the husband is very sensible.

Some guys are even disappointed if the girls parents fall below their expectation.

I know of two rich parents some years ago. The boy's dad gave them a Benz expecting the girl's dad to give them one of the houses in his estate.

The smart man, who grew up poor knew what they were up to. He gave them a Volvo.

Op, be careful. Do your best to be nice to your wife as expected and be respectful to your in-laws as expected.

But make it clear to your wife that you are not for sale. She will pass it on to her parents the best way she can.

If Albino dress kari demself well, make up well, you nor go know de difference between Oyinbo Albino, African Albino and real Oyinbo self.

Their genetic mutation are closer.

neonly:
I grew up with one we were very close then until society and distance come interfere in our relationship

Thank you sir.

If Iya Oniresi give you bookmedown credits until pay day, whose rice are you buying. If you refuse to pay, she go ban you and make up the loss from good customers.

Ai dey laff when people say USA is the greatest Debtor. In whose currency?

Americans buy more of their debt than anyone. Even if China get mad and decided to cash in, American can devalue it's currency and make it worth less for China. China market and holding around the world would crash. So, in whose interest is that?

China and America are like Iya Oniresi. You cannot get loan from them and go to neighboring African countries to buy goods and services cheaper. Even ordinary bottle water must be bought from American companies.

You see, loans make your country poorer and foreign creditors richer. They use loans and foreign aids to boast Goods and services in their markets expanding jobs and factories. Do you know how much American contractors made in Afghanistan?

Stop listening to African Wharton School of Business, Cambridge, University of Toronto economists. They are selling you out.

Until Nigeria start borrowing from foreign countries in Niara that cannot be exchanged for dollar or euro, Africans will keep on exchanging mirror for gold.

Capish?

joyandfaith:
Op is too naive. What is debt-revenue ratio of these nations? It is not about debt, but revenue to pay the debt.
Nigeria is like jobless man who keeps borrowing money to service previous debts and without hope of getting any meaningful job.

Debtor is a slave to his creditors. Nigeria is like a slave man who has borrowed too much to be enslaved forever.

Common guys, it is a wise investment.

For that price, I will take three and open a farm, daycare or elementary school.

I don't think social media is the best place to educate a serious educated mind. You have to satisfy your curiosity by personal research.

My personal opinion about your question is like saying every disaster has a silver lining. Then praising that silver lining over the disaster.

The world has more to learn from one another. Of course Africa also has more to learn.

But the same Africa that provided ancient inventions from Sudan (North Egypt) has been denied, whitewashed, concealed and even usurped by those Barbarians.

Barbarian is the name given to Northern Europeans by Southerner (Romans) who came to North Egypt to learn Astronomy, Medicine and Mathematics from the Masters.

Read up on Cheikh Anta Diop.

happy200:
Okay. This is educating but please answer my question.
Apart from what you wrote up here. Are you saying that the colonial masters didnot help us in any way? This is what I want to hear from any of you, hence i'm saying that instead of always blaming them let's also look at the positive side of their coming here.

The first thing ignorant Africans must do is to learn the difference between Civilization and Invention.

Simply put, Civilization is the ability to live in peace and among in communities, between cultures and societies.

Africans we're the first to exist as civilized communities. In the days of Mansa Musa in Mali Empire, the historian Basil Davidson told us a child could go to the market and buy without being cheated.

Iron, terracotta, etc were invented in West Africa. The Queen of Sheba and Mansa Musa exposed African gold riches and flooded world market with.

Gold attracted Explorers, Religious Missionaries and slavery started when Pope gave edict to enslave Africans from the coast of West Africa.

In 1452 Pope Nicholas V issued a papal bull that granted Portugal and Spain 'full and free permission to invade, search out, capture and subjugate unbelievers and enemies of Christ wherever they may be ... And to reduce their persons into perpetual slavery' .

Indeed, the world first Cabinet form of Government started in OYO!

As someone indicated already, information is too readily available to spoon feed anyone. Remaining ignorant is a choice and excuse to glorify the people that are still enslaving your mind.

Please ignore this our buroda. There are many of them around.

We must concentrate our energy on Oxford and Harvard trained economic saboteurs that embrace Structural Adjustment and Devaluation.

But then, you are right. They all started from cultural enslavement

Reflect7:
First of all, you are an ignorant dunce who has no business on this thread.

That you think the Moors were 'Arabs' despite the MULTIPLICITY of evidence presented here, including actual statues, monuments, and family crests showing BLACK people, shows you are a conditioned and brainless imbec.il.e and pea brain steeped in racial self hate.

To call Nigerians and West Africans ''too stupid to offend whites'' shows your tragic slave mind and wretched inferiority complex.

I have also seen the disgusting, hateful anti-African imagery you used to represent your moniker.

Whoever did this to destroy your mind so comprehensively, deserves serious hell time.

You can break down or melt most materials into their finest tiny particles and weave them into anything you want.

The easiest way to think of it is how plastics are turned into noddles and rice leaving unsuspecting victims to consume them.

Scientists have gone further. Vegetables are converted to vege-meat.

After all, cow eat grass and covert it to natural meat. Artificial processors as cow could do the same.

The problem we have in Africa is that too many people are just struggling to survive, fighting, while others only care about making money.

These are brains and talents consumed in ventures that has never moved most countries forward. Think about how many sculptures, iron ore first made in Africa, artists etc. we lost in this process.

Singers and actors generating foreign income are just a fraction of African talents.

What do you think those expensive shiny colorful suits worn by world politicians, the rich and famous made of?

Don't tell anybody o!

The best thing you can do for an ingrate, man or woman is to let go and grant her or him their wish.

As you get older and more mature, you will come to realize no one is worth more than your peace of mind, even your favorite kid.

At some point we all do what we want, not what others wish.

Aaronsrod:
I did what any husband should do.

I granted her deepest wish.

She has become a free spirit.

I think the exaggeration got your point across. But those abroad still with their wives will call you a dreamer.

There are good and bad husband and wives. If you claim African wives are more stable than whites and black women, you do have a point.

White women fear their husbands that can kill them for no or any reason and get away with it.

ednut1:
For every bad news there are more than 1000 married people enjoying their marriages abroad. Both men and women do all sort of rubbish abroad.
1. No house maid abroad, yet you allow your wife to work and do all chores alone. Some even demand for fresh food. Wont she divorce you after

2. Some men have been beating the wife from Nigeria, the day you slap her here she called police. Is it not justified

3. You cheat without shame, she con do you strong thing. Is she not justified

4. Some bring women abroad and tell her to use your account as salary account. Then you give her a fraction of her own salary o.

The law favours women too because for centuries men have had the advantage. The system corrupts them too, they hear things, see things at work places and lawyers working on commission bases plenty. A woman is entitled to your house after divorce especially if kids are involved, na you go leave. Child support and alimony too dey. Who no like free benefits

Abeg i don tire for man and woman matter hahaha

You just want to open a can of worms. The whole of the Country has not recovered from the War.

People around Asaba, Igbo or Igboid faced massacre from both Biafra and Nigerian soldiers.

Ask General Ejor if you can wake him up

Thank God he is safe.

There are many ways to make a difference.

Very decent man. You cannot fight with pigs in the mud.

All of us cannot be politicians.
