Most people on this thread dont seem not to understand O.P
O.P may be extreme in his criticism but most of Africans are not mentally ready for that level.

Typical African mentality dont accept criticism, thats why the continent is stuck in the past.

If you criticize an African, he will be emotional and ignorant not wanting to accept his flaws, learn from it and develop himself to be greater than the critic.

It boils down to even the African American always screaming racism where as they are in no move to self develop and surpass their host.
Which most of the asians, irish, germans, middle easterns have done in America.

Most of them dont even know that they are greater than their host mentally and physically if they play their cards well.
The few that do are extremely successful(e.g Tyler Perry, oprah, etc)

China was once even lower than Africa in 50s terms of standard living, infrastructure and economy.
Now with little or no resources they are on the verge of becoming a world power because they learnt from their mistakes(feudalistic ideology) and modernised using western philosophy(communism) and perfected it into socialism.
They accepted criticism on their ancient feudalistic idea dumped it and started with western philosophy.

Same as the the creation of imperial Japan
Western idea, Japanese spirit.

Same cant be said about Africans.
Because they are always proud, arrogant, and always willing to repeat mistakes and never wanting to try new ideas.
Because nobody knows better than them.

AS THEY SAY THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS BITTER.



I agree. 100%


This kind of criticisms challenge get status-quo and shakes the foundation of lingerie cringed ideologies, philosophies, beliefs etc.

Rossike, I respected you from afar all these years and thought you were a smart person until today. Maybe you're even a copycat and not the person behind Rossike account.

Being abusive does not make you smart, Aconomist is right about Banana Island being a slum and Nigerians being stupid.

If from every 100 Nigerians only 10 are smart, is that not enough to say the whole lot is stupid?

The smart people are rendered redundant by the stupidity of the masses. Reason Okonjo Iweala, Arunma Oteh, Oby Ezekwesili, Segun Agangan and a host of others were unable to perform in Nigeria but shine exceedingly in foreign roles.

Even the example you gave, the equity, justice and fairness that allowed a black man to be SUG president in a predominantly white school, can such be replicated in Nigeria? Even among ourselves, primitive issues as tribalism will ruin his chances.

Do not bother replying me because I won't reduce myself to argue with you.

Aconomist, you should learn to confine your arguments to educated and enlightened folks. Bringing such talk here is like taking a research paper to truck pushers to review. Value and protect your gold.

Lol. The irony is that emptily pompous, sanctimonious and arrogantly smug folks like you are the people with the least to offer towards the provision of solutions.

Why are you here to begin with when you should be on your own exclusive forum full of "educated and enlightened folks"? Empty barrel.

Wonder why Nigeria is so primitive and slow to develop? Because it is full of Nigerians. Here is an image of Banana island. The colorful skyscrapers are on the part that was developed by Lebanese. The rest of it went to Nigerian developers. See the difference?

The Lebanese built these towers almost 10 years ago. And since then, the Nigerians haven't erected anything taller than 3 stories.

Because Landless and bunch of Lebanese refugees living of their Nigerians benefactors built and are living in Towers, Nigerians should copy and follow suit?

Why are Africans willing to copy useless things from the west? drug use, fornication, creating bastard children everywhere. But when it comes to copying the good things from the outside world -- like skyscrapers, industry, cleanliness, etc. -- suddenly you are too proud to learn from superior cultures?

So television is development now? You are bragging about imported electronics that you can't even produce. Meanwhile North Koreans enjoy security, subsidized rail service, wide beautiful streets, security and cleanliness. Their businesses are owned and run by locals not infested with foreigners from Lebanon and India. But their GDP is only $28 billion compared to $400 billion in Nigeria.

Are you not tired of losing? Only a monkey can look at the situation in Nigeria and not be outraged.

what is wrong with those structures erected by Nigerians... can you give a technical breakdown of what they got wrong ?
Buying land for $1 million to a erect a one story bungalow, a single family home or a duplex is very stupid and abnormal. You don't see this behavior in any other country -- not even relatively poor countries like India, Lebanon or Eygpt.

High land prices are supposed to incentivize you to build higher, the way these Lebanese did. Nigerians would rather just build a single family home to sell for a unjustifiably high price.

Actually, as an economic analyst. you'll need to think more like one. First of all, skyscrapers shouldn't be a mark of development. In fact, they're the very reason that property prices in Dubai have crashing for close to ten years. Just simple demand and supply. Cities like Barcelona,London and Paris do not have as much Skyscrapers as Dubai, Shanghai, Newyork and Hong Kong, but who takes in more money in tourism? Multiple skyscrapers are only suited to a business hub. I expected you to complain more about poor house construction and the poor state of infrastructure such as roads.

Now, I agree that something seems to be wrong with most black states, but this is a complex issue and not what should warrant childish throwing of insults because maybe you think you are part of the "wise" few. There are many factors that has resulted in the disparity between "whites" and "blacks", and it's not only an intellect issue, though that may be part of it. As for me, the major problem is the lack of hardworking individuals, a lot of Nigerians are smart, but they do not work hard, so it looks like they dumb, but no, they just lazy. Nigeria's economy has two growth potentials, Agricultural (eg: Brazil) and Workforce (eg:China), but both need time and hardwork, so we leave them out.

Lastly, do not say all Nigerians are stupid or monkeys or whatever, That's very rude, uninformed and unwise. There are lots of Nigerians out there doing well. Agro Tech startups are being created by teams of smart hardworking Nigerians to bridge the gap between Knowledge and Agriculture. Companies like Andela are taking advantage of the available Workforce of intelligent individuals to train skilled software guys. Others that I may not mention are doing great too.

So, criticise, but please end the hasty brutal generalizations, there are lots great people out there.

coming up with an idea is one thing. actualizing it is another. they had look for a libanese company to fill up and develop the place.left for only Nigeria you will be only Seeing bungalows there. I wonder why we have lost our confidence as a people and nation. While other smaller countries are improving their skyline with breathtaking skyscrapers. e.g Kenya and even Rwanda.Nigeria is foolishly building 5to10 story structures and calling them towers.if you check the skyline of Abuja it has not changed from what it was 20 years ago.even the millennium tower that was supposed to serve as a national monument is in ruins and countries like Ghana have completed all the projects that were started long after it.even those that call themselves billionaire would prefer to buy a billion naira land and put up a 500million naira property on it.like the rubbish Mike Adenuga is putting up in banana island.Nigeria just needs to be re colonized.because the only period they was semblance of real confidence and development was when we were freshly out of colonial rule because almost everybody body had the oyibo mentality. that is why theywere able to develop the Marina district of Lagos island.since we lost the confidence as a country and people.you can hardly hear a Nigerian talking of building skyscrapers talkless of the government. The few tall buildings you see in Victoria island are owned by the libanese.
you are an Illiterate and damm asshole even the almighty Germany don't have 20 skyscraper German have 18 skyscraper fools
