Many Nigerians don't really know what we have (blessings).
We have so many haters in Africa who are jealous that we are dominating most sectors in Africa. They think day ad night about us and wish to see our downfall.
I wonder why Black Africans would be so wicked to each other like this.

Ever since our economy displaced and almost doubled South African economy as the largest in Africa. The numbers of our haters have doubled

Nowenuse:
Wow, this is another face of our fashion industry. Wonderful designs.
Fashion designing is becoming very lucrative i must say. Let us continue to promote it. We are going higher.

MPSA:
Good for only Nigerians Not for other people

Nowenuse:
It will take all other African countries forever to match the level of Nigerian fashion industry.

We are just too innovative. Haters can jump into the pacific

Onwardvic:
We have to take full responsibility of our downfall and then put heads together to map out our route back to the top and religiously pursue it; if we don't want to remain colonized and re-colonized in this 21st century. blaming anybody will not do us any favour .

There is nothing like permanence in history. Human civilization is over 40,000 years old. What makes you imagine that one race or group can just be ahead of everyone for that long with no challenge from any quarters? It's impossible. Even the fallibility of man will ensure that you will eventually succumb to human frailties such as complacency, greed, in-fighting, cultural decadence, recklessness etc etc.

You will reach your peak and then start to decline, as some other group takes your place. Eventually that other group too will start to decline, and will get replaced by others. That's just life. It's happening today already. Asia is slowly taking over from Europe and the US. Africa is now the fastest growing continent economically, approximating 6% per annum. Europe and the US on the other hand, are seeing 1% or 2% annual economic growth. So the tide is shifting, however slowly. Nothing ever stays the same in history. Come back to this world in say 300 years time, and it will be an entirely different configuration. You could have Europeans seeking a better life, storming their embassies for visas to Nigeria.

Exploring African history means absolutely nothing unless we develop. The Renaissance period happened in Europe because they developed. The literature, pyramids, and et cetra of the Egyptian Empire flourished because they developed from an hunter gatherer society to an Agrarian culture with irrigation and the likes.

Horus:
We have to be very careful around the internet, many people have alternative agendas. Euro/Americans are on African forums to see what they can get away with within mainstream media. Many Europeans are here on Nairaland in disguise just to try and control the wave of information reaching our people and are here trying to deter your understanding. They post tribalistic messages to divide Africans. There are many agendas behind what you read. Know that it is actually an understanding of positive and negative that will truly tell you what is in the best interests for Africans. A righteous African may disagree with aspects of the message but they would not openly try and deter others from receiving it.

Nowenuse:
Of course i do believe you (or even say, believe in you).

I think we really need to teach our history more. It's just that there are 2 points of view pertaining to the possible outcome of emphasizing more on our history. You share one point of view and LordAdam16 and Braden2 share another point of view. Sadly, i can see reason with your own point of view and their own point of view and i think all we need to do is to strike a balance between both views, afterall we all want to see the progress of our race and people.


It's just 2 sides of the same coin which i do somehow agree with, hence my thought of us drawing a meeting point between both schools of thoughts.

LordAdam16 and Braden2, i hope you guys are hearing?

Pls guys, what we are all after at the end of the day is progress for our people, just that the approach differs.
The both of you however, you guys need to tone down your harshness a little bit, because i must confess (sorry to say) that a part of me is suspecting that you guys are not Black Africans because it seems like you guys feel the black race is so worthless and has never achieved anything since this world. Let's assume/agree that we have been the worst race since this world, does it mean at least that we have no single achievement to our name at all? It's just like always scolding a child whenever he goes wrong and never commending him when he does right. Thank you guys for your understanding.

The southern part of Nigeria owns the oil which feeds the entire country. Without the oil today, there is no economy and there is no Nigeria. The same south controls the commercial sector of the economy. The media is still owned and controlled by the South.

When a people owns the only thing that is feeding a whole country and still control commerce plus the media through which people's thoughts and opinions about anything can be shaped and can equally boast of the best human resources, what else does it take for such a people to wield power in such a country?

Jetleeee:
It's a blackmailing trick and most Yorubas fall for it. Let me borrow Ashiwajufoward's quote

"The rest of the country prefers Yorubaland to be the 'One Nigeria' guinea pig where non-indigenes/natives are allowed to misbehave because we are a 'sophisticated' people, while other regions retain their ethnic integrity"

Yes, we are not accommodating, we don't want to be hospitable anymore. Heck! Even if we are, they'll still call us names

Anyone who doesn't like the way he's being the treated in the SW can go back to his cage.

We Yorubas are the only ones always trying to prove nonsense.

LionDeLeo:
Keep supporting criminals in the name of being identified with your people or at best not to be tagged as suffering from inferiority complex but the more they misbehave, the more they get what they deserve. That is not Nigeria where people commit and become the noisiest at the same time. The best you can do is to rant online and nothing more or accuse Nigerian government of being indifferent. Even as you do that, you dare not allow yourself to be identified, abi you want try am? Go outside Nigeria, do anyhow, get anyhow. If you are annoyed, go to the nearest Indian embassy and make unnecessary noise, your body go tell you. Nonsense.

iykofias:
leave him to b forming yankee.


If his type is called upon to judge upon a case between a white n a black he will definitely side the oyinbo. The same thing is being played out by soldiers on highways e.g the soldiers will beat you blue black if u put on cap or dark shield, make calls on roadblock, but when a white do the same they only wave him goodbye wit the accompanying words 'welldone sir'.
Africans always feel inferior to other race, thats y even common Indians maltreat us on our own soil.

new2012:
How can someone hate his own race? Its scary
