The truth is if world war 3 were to happen, no African country has the means of defending itself because most countries in Africa are equipped with weapons from the cold war era and also we rely too much on countries from outside Africa for our weapons. There's a program on discovery channel that shows the latest weapons the Americans and Eurpeans have got and Nigeria will struggle in a battle with any of these countries.

None of them to be honest. Nigerians have suffered so much that anybody that gives them a facility that should be their basic right, they start to praise the person.

The solution is in the hands of we youths, instead of us bashing our ethnic tribes everyday on nairaland, we need to organise a peaceful March in FCT in our millions and fight for our future on a daily basis until the cretins we call leaders start listening to us. I am happy to join any peaceful demonstration that can achieve this. Going to church or mosque to donate money for private jet will not help us, God is not a magician!
Oyinbos that don't even have GCSE will come to our country, we give them official cars with drivers, we give them company houses with security, they enjoy a luxurious lifestyle they can only dream of in their own country. We would have to fast and pray to get a visa to their country and when you get there they make you wash toilets and work as a security guard and still blame us for their economic problems. It's hightime we Africans realised we cannot continue to live like this and we havve to sort out our problems at home because there is no place like home.

rash47: Op great! In as much as am tired of reading essays on african underdevelopment of afrocentric views,couldn't help to agree more dat u brought in some fresh nd challenging insight into african palaver.


Pls can u help with solutions too?

Very good analysis, it annoys me so much when our government gives important projects to foreign companies as if our people are so daft they can't do it. How many African companies have you seen constructing schools, hospitals etc.... outside of Africa?
We cannot grow if we contine to rely on other countries for everything.

FrostyZonn: [size=16pt]6. The Rich


Subaltern Mentality[/size]

There are two kinds of people in Africa, those who can’t make a living regardless of how much they put in, and those with lavish lifestyle and privileges regardless of how little they contribute.

The first group is made of those who has
not contact with “white” people, and the
second is made of people who has contact with “white” people.

If you live in Africa or know some African people, make a list of 10 people you know or have heard about who have a “good life” and social privileges. You’ll quickly find out that 90% those who have a good life are people who work for the “white” or with the “white”. They serve foreign-owned or controlled companies, organizations or foreign NGOs in Africa. They have big houses, nice cars, home servants, and enjoy high social status and privileges.

I call those the “Rich subalterns” or the “Selected subalterns”. (“White” in Africa is used for “European”, “Chinese” “Lebanese”, “American”, etc. In the context of this article it could be easily
replaced by “foreigners”.)

What is the problem?

The problem is that you can’t develop a country or continent where the majority of people who have the potential to become leaders are raised to be “good subalterns” to be successful.

Young people aspire to emulate the most successful models in their society, and now the only visible and tangible model available is the rich subaltern model.

There will be no problem with the rich subaltern model if this group of population was not made mainly with “non-productive” people working in middle management position. Middle managers in office don’t create companies, they don’t create value, they don’t create jobs, they don’t invent, innovate or act in leadership position with the power to change things.

Another problem we have is greed and no respect for ourselves. You try hiking around Africa with white friends, you will realise the whites will be treated better than you when trying to cross borders and you the African will be humiliated by your fellow Africans.

None of the above. They are all hopeless with no vision for the country.

How I wished the high speed rail was true. But the truth is Nigeria is cursed with bad leaders and people who are too daft and greedy to realise what they are doing to their country.

The three officers - dressed in high-visibility jackets and uniform - began jiving and grinding, and even displaying a little light twerking, before forming a line on the floor and starting to row.

They were circled by crowds of revellers who cheered and screamed as they danced.

A video of the policemen on YouTube under the name "Notting Hill Carnival 2013 Police Dance Off", posted by MOOF Bulleh, had attracted more than 100,000 views by Monday night.

The identity of the officers is not known. A Met Police spokesman declined to comment.

God bless them.

Thieving bast@rds, we can't see what has come out from the money they've been borrowing. The politicians should take a pay cut to fund the imaginary power project. Thunder fire all of them. Ole!

Good riddance if it's true. He can get his 72 inch devil's knob up his butt in hell.

Well said, everything he said is true. Naija is the only place a yoruba teacher can become a cimmissioner or general overseer within a year. Instead of us to rise up and take out our hopeless leaders in a revolution, My people will rather sit down in religious gatherings and donate money for private jets and rolls royces to their ebagenlists

Stupid plebeians, that's what idleness does to you.
Yeye people.

As long as his wife keeps behaving like a feudistic oligarch, I'll never respect him.

I think op has been smoking too much wee wee

Nigeria is hell already, we all know Satan is a Nigerian

From Abridge UK to Varna Bulgaria. It was almost 3000miles and took 3.5 days

May have died is not patronizing, the government should tell us this cretin is dead only when they are 100% sure.

Over the years I have always struggled to find out what Nigeria and other developing countries gain from the common wealth. The UK claims they give us foreign aid but most of that money goes back to their economy with our politicians buying Rolls royces, private jets and weapons from that country and keeping their remaining loots in banks there. The recent visa bond imposed on countries like Nigeria, Ghana, India, Pakistan etc..... proves my point. The UK govt defends this bond because citizens of these countries are high risk migrants despite the fact there are lots of migrants from other common wealth countries such as Australia that overstay their visas in the UK. With the rate of economic growth in countries like China, India, Nigeria, South Africa and Brazil would it not be great if we formed an economic block with these countries and let the UK go screw themselves, Or can someone tell me what we actually gain from being in the common wealth.

Wow, first time I have seen Nigeria league football played on a decent pitch unlike the ones I've seen played on semi arid desert grounds. I am happy to pay to watch a match on a lovely pitch like this.

If black magic works, how come Africans especially the zulus could not stop the white people during the slave trade?

He is telling the truth. Nigeria is a cursed country, even if we had Obama as our president Nigeria will still be experiencing the same problems. It's easy for us to acuse our leaders of corruption but we still keep voting for them and wven ordinary Nigerians are corrupt as well, corruption is flowing in our bone marrows.
We all need to go on our knees and beg God for forgiveness from the sins of our fore fathers such as human sacrifice, jungle justice, slave trade etc.......
It took the europeans two world wars with the loss of millions of lives before they got saved from hunger and poverty.

If this guy is testifying in church about his past as a terrorist murderer, should the authorities not arrest him and try him for murder instead of every one praising the Lord for his new life. He is a murderer that has destroyed many lives and a lot of families are still suffering from his actions. Just because He's on the pupilt now does not mean he should not pay for his past. He can practice his Christianity in prison.

The money that will be spent to build this mega structure can be better spent on building an orphanage or food bank for the poor, I'm sure Jesus would love that as well. We have more than enough places of worship in Nigeria already. These pastors travel to Europe and America and see how religious organisations invest in looking after the poor and not building mega structures and buying private jets. Great Ormond street hospital which is the best hospital for kids in the world gets majority of its funding from churches in England.
