Lol at the quoted. You’re using the internet, a phone, or a laptop 😀 tools your shallow mind couldn’t even conceive of if you were given a billion years.😁

For your information: all cultures have mixed and many have been erased entirely. The Anglo-Saxons were absorbed by the Normans. Gaul was swallowed by the Romans and eventually became France. The Arabian Peninsula saw countless local cultures wiped out and replaced with Islamic culture. This is not unique to Africa, that's how history works.

Africa’s tragedy is that we were isolated for much of history. While other continents were exchanging ideas, technologies, and institutions, raising the collective “technological floor”.. large parts of Africa were cut off by geography, thick forests, and poor navigable connections. Yes, we had great empires: Mali, Songhai, Benin, Aksum.. but make no mistake, we were no match for the great empires of other continents by the time we made contact with the west. The gap wasn’t racial it was a result of our consequences living in thick, inpenentrable enclaves.

Also cultural contact, even assimilation, isn’t inherently bad. The bad part is that we, as blacks, are too lazy and too distracted (distracted by crying and irrelevance) to use the leverage we have now, leverage our ancestors never dreamed of. The internet. Free access to global knowledge. Technology and education the world shares far more openly than in the past.

The Chinese were colonized, carved up, and humiliated, yet they rose by using the tools available to them. The Japanese were obliterated by two atomic bombs, but they didn’t waste decades hating the West..no, they rebuilt and now sit as equals at the table of power.

I implore my fellow blacks to start our own Renaissance, lets fast-track ourselves into that precarious committee of nations as equals, not as perpetual beggars for arms and aid. The constant ritual of blaming whites for how we failed is humiliating, self-defeating, and beneath the dignity of any people who claim they want respect.

In Nigeria, once your education doesn't make you financially bouyant or put food on your table, it seems useless to them. As a matter of fact, most of us believed that finishing tertiary institutions would make us turn rich over night, build our own houses and have our own cars. That was the drive we had that prompted us to tertiary schools.

Peter Obi that left Anambra state the same way he met it?

Before you start, tinubu was no better. Lagos is a mess today, and was a mess when he left governor office...along with paying himself from alpha beta.

You won;t like me, but Obi was no good as a governor. I don't understand why people support him, and I also dont understand tinubu supporters either.

Get us a leader who will be like Park chung hee, Lee Kwam Yeu, and Deng Tsiao-ping...then we can talk. Not the same old geng.

Democracy is flawed everywhere, only that others have a checkmate system to apply caution/prosecution while here caution is thrown to the wind and our system corrupted.
