A stupid leadership reflects a stupid population..

Until Nigerians elect better leaders this type of nonsense will continue

Why do Nigerians take great pride in marrying out? Other groups in the world like the Japanese or Swedish take the opposite view..

Inferiority complex sha...

OruExpress:
They have also bought his cars. Have you?
What is the obsession with government in Nigeria. It is the beginning and end of the problem. Nigerians use government as a scapegoat to avoid responsibility.

No true, the govt has failed in things that are their responsibility. Power and Water supply/waste being a notable one.

Innoson will ultimately struggle against international car companies. Why? because can they be assured 24/7 electricity in Nigeria? Probably not.

Can they be assured 24/7 clean water supply to wash their cars? Probably not...

The north again.

Bring on the Federal Republic of Southern Nigeria, so we can have peace...

No new news from the North I see...

Honestly who cares anymore..

Bring on the Republic of Southern Nigeria and let us have peace.

Yeye Country.

Fashola has truly failed..

As buhari is to the economy, Fashola is to power.

Useless people..

Correcto:
True North fears a United South, but is the south United?

Increasingly yes, especially as the North monopolizes power and yet pretends to be the victim....

The South would thrive without the North. But the North, look at Niger, Chad or Mali and see your future..

Correcto:
Southerner Nigeria ke? SW has taught SS &SE how to sabotage southern interest

I am half Yoruba, half Igbo. Our two people can get along and I am living proof of that.

Keep trying with your Northern trick of trying to pretend we are divided.

Everytime SW, SS and SE join arms, you snatch up and arrest people. Why was Sowore arrested after he met Nnamdi Kano??

Because the North fears a united South...

Then prepare for the federal republic of Southern Nigeria my Northern friend...

You can become new Niger or Chad. Landlocked and broke..

Don’t worry Allah will provide

Conner44:
haba, mr. ‘I am in the diaspora’ you have changed the topic of debate again. I can understand your insults because of listening to the truth but Why do you enjoy shifting goal post?

The thread is concerning a pain level research

someone said it was dumb

someone else pointed out how most folks who were afraid of taking dumb risks never achieved anything

The person said it’s sounded insulting and I answered that it was a bitter truth.

You accosted me with thrash concerning inventions

I replied you that research was different from inventions and that even if we used your example the inventors you referenced never had to receiving pain willing to get steady input for their final work

You spoke of how a man invented comb that sometimes straightened hair or burned the scalp and about the man inventing a gas mask.

I pointed out that what you are overlooking in your analogy in relation to the initial point of discussion was that the man had to burn scalp and inhale gas just because he had not yet perfected his work. His perfect work would never burn scalp or allow inhalation if gasses yes?

Now compare it to a man who takes pain again and again until maybe when his body breaks down too far to continue his work. Does his work have a point where he has to stop receiving pain or discomfort?

You say if you speak English for me and I hear you I will think you’re queen Elizabeth abi?

Later you now started looking at the way I spell my moniker and wondering if I’m black... only heaven knows why. telling us how if we see you we will think you look like oyibo? Lol. Remembering how your elderly folk used to talk to each other and tell stories which made you realize you come from a long lineage of fo*ls.

Is that why you’re attacking me? Why is the truth making you bitter? Just because I said that Black people involved in research never deliberately take harm to further their work?

nograv I no just understand your type of person at all at all I swear

Just Sharrap... You are not even Black hence this long epistle...

Also somehow you neglected to mention the same man also developed the gas mask, where the brother almost definately exposed himself to noxious fumes repeatedly to ensure his invention worked..

Now be quiet, adults not children are talking..

strangest:
Black America na Oyibo nah
the topic wasnt actually about white or black... Oyibo in my context refers to people living in the countries, most Nigeria are dying to relocate to... You got it all wrong, its about Oyibo scientist...

My brother I am part of the dispora. I assure you we are not considered Oyinbo and dont consider ourselves as such either.

Nigerians would be making huge advances scientifically if we chose and had better leaders.

But when you have someone like Buhari at the helm a man without vision, how can we progress.

The fact the these inventions were invented by black people shows we have the brains. We just need an environment to show that talent..

But putting ourselves down helps no one.. Especially the black race..

Conner44:
So after he invented the hair straightening comb it then ‘originally burned the scalp? Was that what his invention was supposed to achieve? What of just straightening only the hair as initially intended? Just accept it was a mistake and he corrected it.

Burning your scalp isn’t supposed to be a feature of a hair straightening comb buddy. Isn’t it obvious You’re ignorant And have comprehension issues?

You’re just sinking, stop struggling on this issue we’re discussing. You’re just giving me an opportunity to make a fool of you.

And I’ll reject it I can’t stoop to your level to effectively make you look silly like I’m doing right now

Listening to you talking rubbish, reminds me of those old uncles who pretended they knew everything and knew nothing.

In your case you remind me of the adage "Better to be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt".

Sadly you have already done the latter and are too simple to realise it..

Are you even Black? As connor is a strange username for a Naija man or even an African for that matter. Perhaps you want to be an Oyibo so much you took on a Celtic username lol..

I will pray for you.... That god does not scatter your tiny brain any further..

Conner44:
Oh okay, so you’re the insult+reply type

See you’ve now turned it into a white and black thing just because of skin color abi? Do you comprehend at all when you read? If you wanted to school me on anything you should be objective. The op was concerning research and you’re here speaking about inventions. [/b]Those are very different things buddy.

Okay answer me this one question

[b]Of all these inventors below, how many had to agree to knowingly take expected harm and pain on their body and person either psychological or physically ... deliberately ... just to get steady input to further the research for their final invention?

Dr. Shirley Jackson : caller ID, call waiting, and the fiber-optic cable

Lewis Latimer : Carbon Filament crucial to creating a functional lightbulb

Marie Van Brittan Brown : Created the world's first home security system. (CCTV) closed circuit television

Lonnie G. Johnson : Super Soaker Water Gun

Charles Drew : Developed the first blood banks

Elijah McCoy : Developer of oil lubricant systems for the rail industry. His products were so well regarded that people didnt want imitations. Hence the phrase "The Real McCoy"

Garrett Morgan : This one may surprise Nigerians. This man invented the Traffic Light and pioneered the Gas Mask.

Mary and Mildred Davidson : Sanitary Belt and Toilet Tissue holder.

You can use google in your answer and abeg don’t forget the insult at the beginning or end

As I said the only dumb person here is you.

You havent refuted that these inventors were black and you have implicitly accepted a black inventor in the west is still African. So that is some progress..

Now you want to measure scientific progress by some weird measure of whether pain was inflicted in the development of their innovation?

You truly are a numskull..

Garrett Morgan would probably be a good example. He invented hair straightening products that originally burned the scalp and his invention of an early gas mask involved exposing himself to smoke and noxious fumes..

Now explain to me why having "to agree to knowingly take expected harm and pain on their body and person either psychological or physically ... deliberately ... just to get steady input to further the research for their final invention?" Is important? you self hating negro...

Even when given clear examples of black scientific excellence you down play it to extoll the virtues of white people in comparison. That sir the clearest example of SLAVE MENTALITY

Conner44:
You wrote many things here in this your post but you made no single iota of sense at all.

How does what you wrote here correlate with what I posted earlier? Shebi you know that because you have a handset and can type letters doesn’t exempt you from being an illiterate and ignorant

Reread my post and try again..

If anyone here doesnt have a brain it is you.

If a black man invents something in the west, it isnt a black invention and that person in your simple mind isnt African?

Numskull..

Conner44:
And how many of these people you mentioned made such discoveries and breakthroughs while living in a country on the African continent?

Shebi you know that while overseas if you see a black man it doesn’t necessarily mean that person is an African

So because I am a Tokumbo and I am black, that means I am no longer an African...

Mumu when I speak English I sound like an Oyibo, but I assure you like Anthony Joshua I am very much a son of Oduduwa..

Slave mentality chai..

strangest:
Without their stupidity which is research, we will still be worshiping the sun, volcanoes and killing twins... .

Instead of us to appreciate the ones that developed the venom antidote, we are calling them stupid...


Kudos to the oyibos that led us to this day...


I heard electricity killed Faraday, imagine if had never pulled such stunt .... you wont be shouting up nepa upanddown

Nonsense, there have been great black inventors, except oyibo rarely tell you about them..

Dr. Shirley Jackson : caller ID, call waiting, and the fiber-optic cable

Lewis Latimer : Carbon Filament crucial to creating a functional lightbulb

Marie Van Brittan Brown : Created the world's first home security system. (CCTV) closed circuit television

Lonnie G. Johnson : Super Soaker Water Gun

Charles Drew : Developed the first blood banks

Elijah McCoy : Developer of oil lubricant systems for the rail industry. His products were so well regarded that people didnt want imitations. Hence the phrase "The Real McCoy"

Garrett Morgan : This one may surprise Nigerians. This man invented the Traffic Light and pioneered the Gas Mask.

Mary and Mildred Davidson : Sanitary Belt and Toilet Tissue holder.

Be careful with your slave mentality and learn actual history.

A lot of great work was done by the BLACK race, without foolishness that you are attempting to say is science...

Chi59:
Man so cute

Mtcheww you ladies love Joshua too much..

When you come back down to earth, normal guys like me are waiting for you

Mtcheww while China celebrates becoming the world largest economy, with an army that threatens the USA.

We celebrate the a nation that has become poorer than when it became independent and has an army that cannot even defeat forest bandits..

These failures celebrate with cake and big smiles...

Shagari part two...

Northerners ruining our reputation with other Africans since independence mtcheww.....

Atlanticfire:
Too many ignorant people in Nigeria. They are seeing pure nepotism and hailing it as if it is a good thing

Correct... You said it better..

Nepotism is bad period. They just want a leader from their region or say from their village so money should flow their way..

They are cursing men from their region who apparently did not invest enough in their home towns.

That is wrong on so many levels..

So sad that Nigerians dont understand the first thing about leadership

A leader's primary job is to promote the development of the WHOLE nation based on need. Not to just pour money into his own town, based on personal bias.

Nigerians keep choosing leaders without a national vision. Based on the ignorant comments here, Nigerians choose the leaders they deserve..

Who gave birth to this tribalistic tin?!

It because of the useless Nigerian elite that mostly hails from the North that is the reason why Nigeria looks the way it does today.

While Singapore, South Korea and China have progressed, we are standing still. The current situation breeds tribalism. If Northern elites delivered in their tenure, do you think anyone would care about their origins..?

Use your head..

If the North is so confident. Then relinquish the oil blocs and go your own way.

Republic of Northern Nigeria and a Republic of Southern Nigeria it is.

We all know who will be bankrupt and begging for reunion in a year... Mtcheww...

Hmm And I thought Nigeria was a democracy, with freedom of speech..?

SMH.
TRIBALISM has eaten so deep into your.
What a life!

No common sense is what has eaten into my life.

Hausa and Fulani are a historically a land locked people, beyond Lake Chad, they know nothing about navigating great expanses of water.

Nothing will come of this announcement and even if anything does, millions if not billions will be stolen by those involved..

Some of us are not partisan and call a spade a spade...

I pity any animal that strays too close to a Nigerian...

The man ate the lizard scaly skin and all.

Even more of a reason not to do it..

The British union of North and South has largely been a disaster.

Why should we implement another disastrous idea?

He truly is a simpleton...

Northerners should never be allowed near the seat of power ever again...

How can an oil producing country need to borrow money

Finally Nigerians are showing sense!!

Why go where you are clearly not wanted. Add India to that list as well.
