OP,your brain has been fried to accept and label yourself the way you are indoctrinated. You must be one of those that call the village, town or city you originated from a ZOO.

If Africa was crawling for over half a century with our civilization, we would still be better off than where we are today.

Why? Everything that is not yours you want because it is branded by white skin. This is why your Chiefs exchange gold for mirror. Today you exchange printed paper that has no worth or gold standard for your talents and resources.

This is why you gladly accept and argue for Structural Adjustments and Devaluations. How was that determined other than bulls taught you at London School of Economics.

Kotinu but don't compare your wretched brain with that of every African because they put your likes in Power to turn the richest and the most successful Black community into poverty stricken place with brains like yours begging for Foreign Salvation

Oponu!

Brainless donkey. ''Oyinbo come and colonise me because I am inferior to you''. 

Tufiaa. You are a wasted life.... Sad thing is you can't even see you're a disgrace.

A whole man calling for his fellow man to come and colonise him and turn him a slave once more....... Tufiakwa!

You are the one with a wasted life dude. Going around nairaland preaching black supremacy and shit while the whole continent continues to wallow in poverty and lack. Your own country is the world's poverty capital and is stepping deep into terrorism and all you come here chanting is how some olden days mysterious blacks who didn't even have clothes to wear taught the whites how to bathe. Don't you have any shame and I am sure you are more than 40. You are finished. You just don't know it yet. I hope you have another citizenship as the Nigeria of your old age will cause you serious gnashing of teeth. Fool.

Ignorant school dropout typing vomit.

Africa is a developing continent. That is no reason to feel inferior. Many African nations actually have higher living standards than non African nations. You are dumb and thick to paint all Africa with one negative brush.

Secondly, you dumbass airhead with rocks for brains, stop watching National Geographic and Tarzan and read some real African history, so you can learn that Africans did wear clothes, and had whole textile industries, before the invasion of white people a couple hundred years ago. Olodo rabata.

1. [s] As for the tap water, a lot of parts of Nigeria are still under water supply.

2.We don't have universal power and water supply because we are not willing or ready to pay the market price for these things, or the tax for these things.

I know people will abuse me and call me government supporter but before you do, consider this

1.Our budget in dollars is less than 30 billion. For comparison, South Africa spent 23 billion on education in 2019...and even then they still grumble that that isn't enough

2.Our tax to gdp ratio is 6% . For comparison, South Africa is at 23% as is Ghana. Even Niger is at 15%. Working countries like France have it at 46% . In practical terms, 30% of the taxable population actually pays taxes....and this is because 70% of the economy is in the informal sector.

3.Power costs, according to someone elsewhere , N73 per kwh to make. We pay between N48-71 per kwh, with most people paying below N60. Then there are, as at 2018, the 34% of people who don't pay...rich or poor. Plus our oil sector is groaning under subsides, and price controls which makes it difficult for gas producers to produce enough for market...and all this translates into a loss making power sector...and you expect them to give you light 24/7? Like how?

Plus when it was NEPA, the same things happened. Illegal connections, etc, etc.

4.We keep on telling ourselves we should get side hustle...yet we won't tell our country to get side hustle. Na oil we dey rely on. Oil whose price jumps up and down like someone's pulse rate. Right now, since 2008, oil has been at a price below our sustenance levels, and we are running into debt trying to live off one income...and yet, you expect to be like Europe or US with diversifed economies, and very high tax rates?

5.We keep on talking about corruption. Today, most of the people on this site who were blasting GEJ for being corrupt are excusing Buhari corrupotion,, while those who are blasting Buhari, when GEJ and co were doing looting, they kept quiet, or defended him. We only care about corruption when our side is not in power...when it is our side in power, corruption no longer is our concern...and the choopping from a very small budget continues...and we expect miracles.

6.We are a resource dependent country, not an industrial country. We import many things (we are not as bad as Venezuela though, but still awful)..and make nothing for export. And the things we sell...like oil, or want to sell...like minerals and agric produce ....their prices are not set in Abuja and Lagos, but in London, Paris and New York...and we somehow expect to earn enough income. Meanwhile industrial nations are able to set their own prices.


If we want a better society, we have to face some hard truths. Like we are not as rich as possible, and we are spending money we don't have...and we tolerate corruption too much...then we can progress. And even if we split into many countries tomorrow...these truths will still come and look at us in the face well well.[/s]

Good afternoon.

Is it the 30k minimum wage they will pay the tax with. I thought you were intelligent it didn't see you mention low wages as per reason why an average Nigerian can't even pay much for these things. Govt agent

CodeTemplar:
Your attempt at passing the blame back to the people quickly gave you up. You talked about SA's education budget alone being close to our national budget. Nice point if true. What about our leaders and their jumbo pay? Does it compare in any way to SA's or even Canada's?
Instead of passing the blame, why not address the ills?


You also talked about tax-to-GDP ratio being around 6% and therefore low. Tax principally is a cut of profit. Profit is tied to business activities or productiveness and competitiveness. How conducive or competitive is our business environment. People have to generate their own power and that drives cost up. What about corrupt officials in civil service that can hold the industry to ransom, thus inflating their cost of final goods?

Not even that, how much is minimum wage, the dude is hopeless

Nigeria will be here long after you are gone. Focus on improving yourself and getting rid of your colonial mentality, cos right now you are a pitiful creature steeped in ignorance and low self-esteem, and it would be tragic to pass it on to your kids.

I changed my mind

rosinkkit:
You are a mental midget and an intellectual TOAD, to be suggesting a return to colonialism.

Dumbo, do you even KNOW why nations colonise other nations?

Has your dumb head ever thought of that?

Colonialism is a system in which the coloniser seizes control of a territory in order to extract and evacuate its natural resources for the enrichment of the colonising country.

That is the simple definition of colonialism. A system of direct, deliberate exploitation.

Being a dunce, you obviously have no clue that Nigeria under colonial rule was systematically raped, exploited, and degraded, with the colonialists exporting our resources and putting next to nothing back, which was why in 1960, after 70 years of colonial rule, Nigeria had not one single power station, not one university, and not one express road, with literacy rate at 5% (compared to 75% today courtesy of black rule).

Seeing that Nigeria has developed in leaps and bounds from the abject state of near-zero development it was at in 1960, you must be demented in the extreme, to be calling for a return to colonial rule, and I suggest you seek mental help for your horrible affliction.

people like you is the number 1 reason why nigeria would never progress in 1 million years time. You are one of those who suffer and smile, today Nigeria is at the bottom of every statistics in the world the country is even collapse. You are praising the idiot which have destroy to country. Let me just inform you one thing ask yourself when Nigeria is today will it have been better if we never got independence. I can tell you right now if Nigerian never got independence we will not have any electrical issues at the country will be far more developed. Look at South Africa and Kenya including Botswana Namibia when Nigerians run to to sell akara and and bananas. Are catastrophe we got into bed is too early because of a literacy . Africa is 10 times looted more after independence than before independence. Before independence the white man will hire African slaves to go and look the minerals, they do some payment of black people including the driver. Today all the white man does stay in his country and let the African people bring him wealth he does not even employ anybody in Africa again. In America 80% of America's gold was acquired from 1985 upwards. In Britain 78% of British gold was acquired from 1980 upwards, please stop fooling yourself because by this time most African countries were independent. The looting of Africa after independence is 10 times greater than before independence because it is no more raw materials which they are looting it is physical cash which cannot be replaced. If you did african history of european history you will know something which was all the lancaster house agreement in uk in the 1950s, where the former rulers of Rhodesia and South Africa submitted a proposal to the Queen of England that if we give the African people independence we can look them more after independence. This is well known in british and european history. In the last 5 years people from third world countries have carried 88 billion British pound cash into UK this report is for standard chartered bank. We are not talking about transference we are not talking about investment we are talking about people carrying cash into UK with suitcases. No you tell me how much was the British stealing from us before independence it is not even up to two billion pounds a year. Independence in Africa has made milk and honey all over the world especially in the developed world South America and Asia. If Africa never got independence South America and Asia would be no work today. Look at countries like Brazil Chile argentina China India Malaysia Indonesia Singapore Vietnam these countries have replace African countries in every blessed thing. A woman and a boy run to this countries to do prostitution. Please tell me where is the development when all the countries are passing you. Before independence a lot of Africa countries had bigger economies than Brazil India and China. Today these countries have bigger economy than the whole of Africa. As I say Nigeria's problem is illiteracy they do not look at data. Nigerian is the only person who can run to another man's land and want to vote for the idiot which could do nothing for him in Nigeria. Today Africa has built the whole world and where are we no way that is what you call independence if we never got independence we could be better than Canada Australia and New Zealand

Please my friend it is very difficult to explain to people which are illiterate whatever you say they cannot learn even when the ship is drowning they will be telling you the ship is alright. A problem in the country is illiteracy

It borders me when those that try to educate some of you guys are mercilessly attacked.

If most Africans knew and absorbed what Rosinkkit is trying so hard to put in your skull, nobody would even open a topic like this in Africa.

Thanks for your time.

Do have a good day.

ThinkSmarter:
I agree with you to a very large extent.
White people have rich mindset.
For example: give an avg whiteman a hut in a town and watch him transform the premises into phographic scenario with beautiful flowers, ornamental trees and gardens.
And make the hut and its compound stand out.
But an avg black man will litter everywhere with rags, polytene bags, feaces.
Whites no matter how poor will not allow his environment look like a slump.

This shows you don't know white people.
Before they colonised and exploited Africa, they were known as the dirtiest in the old world. The Arabs call them "pigs" because they rarely bath, change or wear much clothes like them or the Orientals.
Read more.
Even the report of the British colonialists said the Ndigbo were the cleanest set of people they have seen, that the women spend most of the time bathing and looking after themselves which is strange for black people. Or them that Bath once a week

i support the guy haunted the saints for telling the truth how can you have it continents which has build the word for the people cannot build himself. All our problems started from Independence because we were sold out at independence. The British and the Europeans were getting fed up with investing in Africa, the Japanese Korean Chinese and the Soviet Union used Africa as a launching pad for their technology development. Why did Chinese and Russian what telling African government to close their borders to foreign investment, China with open hands from the 1970s opened its borders to foreign investment who is the fool, the same thing happened with Brazil and Argentina in the 80s and 90s. Why we were talking about nationalization black empowerment those guys were opening their hands to foreign investment who is the illiterate there. All that glitters is not gold the way you make your bed so you lie on it. Illiteracy is a bad thing when you have Nigerians in developed countries telling you to vote for somebody which can do nothing for them

I think we are digressing to women. For all I know, no Nigerian women clean pass Calarba women na.

Back to dirty pigs. Please go to historical dictionary and find out why the Greeks call pale Northern Europeans Barbarians.

So much HOT AIR.

The solution to whether Nigeria would be better off under colonialism is simple.

What did the colonialists do in their 70 years in power?

Then what did Nigerian leaders do in their 60 years in power, so far?

Compare and contrast.

In case you don't know, in 1960, no roads actually led to our villages.

You couldn't get in a car (assuming you were lucky enough to be in one), and drive all the way to your village.

What you did was drive to the nearest road to your village, and then TREK on footpaths, sometimes for days, before reaching the village.

Today we take it for granted that we can drive to our villages and even complain about ''govt failure'' when the road has a few potholes, or is untarred.

In 1960 Nigeria had not ONE full fledged university.

Today it has over 200, thanks to black rule.

Her first power plant was Kainji Dam, built by the Tafawa Balewa administration, and commissioned in 1964.

Prior to that, the colonialists imported huge industrial generators to power their GRAs, Ikoyi etc. The rest of Nigeria was in darkness. No power stations. No power grid. No power lines.

Meanwhile, the British were exporting resources worth billions of dollars in today's money - palm oil, groundnuts, iron ore, rubber, cocoa.. These were the 'oil' of their day, and brought in huge amounts of money, which were simply embezzled to Britain for 70 years straight!

Oh, so the Nigerian economy is doing poorly, but you can try your luck in another country abroad, no?

Why? You are EDUCATED, courtesy of independent rule. The new black rulers pursued universal education and built thousands of new public schools across Nigeria from 1960 till date.

Your grandpa - illiterate and stuck in a village farm under colonialism, WOULD have loved to check out America, or Germany, if he knew where the hell they were or what an airport was!

Count your blessings for Independence, or you would have been like him.

And no, South Africa and co had the colonialists reinvesting export proceeds in the country right from the start of colonial rule, which is why South Africa's first power plants and universities were built in the 1860s!!

The whites saw it as ''their'' country, with many of them having settled there cos of the weather etc, so the national income wasn't all looted and sent to Europe. Some of it was used to build the country, which is why by the 1940s South Africa was already a developed country, and Johannesburg was like New York.

So it is not a question of saying, ''they should have stayed longer in Nigeria''. Their interests in Nigeria, and elsewhere in West - Central Africa are very different from their interests in southern African territories where their people are abundant.

Quick notes: Two important factors for becoming a rich country that still hold from ancient times.

1. Cheap labor by serfs or slaves or starving wages.

2. Large patrons

China got admitted to World Trade to spite Russia and they sold abundant cheap products made with starving wages to the world including America and Europe.

Africans, unlike Asians hate their own products as taught. This is what is behind Foreign Salvation.

No, Africans have to salvage themselves by trading what they have and make with one another.

We need little from Europe, America and Asia. If we want anything, we can copy copy like the British, Americans and Asians. Forget intellectual property, they all stole from Africa.

Hasher and more bitter truth has never been said. There is a need for a more organised and better society in Africa. However, having a desirable society is achievable through inclusive socio-economic development of all African people.

[b]Listen to me you are a total illiterate in 1950s and 60s Nigeria was rent number 52 country in the world to live in Nigeria was ranked number 55 most developed countries in the world. Today we are rent 140 to 160 in most things empty vessels make the most noise. In 1960 a passport what number 20 in the world today our passport is behind Cameroon and Benin Republic. I know a lot of Nigerian people do not have any brain. I have seen Nigerians in Europe and America telling themselves and going to vote for people which can do nothing for them. Today Nigeria is number one country in the world in capital flight even your president is admitting the country is a failure. Why we cannot move forward is because of illiterate like you most African countries are passing us and going. In 1960 Nigeria's growth rate was more than Brazil Argentina India and China today we are the laughing stock of Africa. In the 60s we were the biggest producer of sugarcane groundnut rubber Coco leather textiles timber in the world where are we today burgers.[/b]

When you travel abroad to western nations, you don’t even know where the gutter is, you will be looking and looking for gutter but you won’t find it. Come back to black man Nigeria, and be greeted by smelling open gutters all over the nation, but black man no send

...


Some are happy to remain like this, but few are asking questions, seeking for a better representation of our race by building great black nations. But of course this is the minority, the majority no send

ThinkSmarter:
I agree with you to a very large extent.
White people have rich mindset.
For example: give an avg whiteman a hut in the middle of the town and watch him transform the premises into photographic scenario with beautiful flowers, ornamental trees and gardens.
And make the hut and its compound stand out.
But an avg black man will litter everywhere with rags, polytene bags, feaces.
Whites no matter how poor will not allow his environment look like a slump.

Stop your nonsense. Have you ever been to America and seen the filthy conditions the homeless live in all the major cities?

Beancounter94:
1. As for the tap water, a lot of parts of Nigeria are still under water supply.

2.We don't have universal power and water supply because we are not willing or ready to pay the market price for these things, or the tax for these things.

I know people will abuse me and call me government supporter but before you do, consider this

1.Our budget in dollars is less than 30 billion. For comparison, South Africa spent 23 billion on education in 2019...and even then they still grumble that that isn't enough

2.Our tax to gdp ratio is 6% . For comparison, South Africa is at 23% as is Ghana. Even Niger is at 15%. Working countries like France have it at 46% . In practical terms, 30% of the taxable population actually pays taxes....and this is because 70% of the economy is in the informal sector.

3.Power costs, according to someone elsewhere , N73 per kwh to make. We pay between N48-71 per kwh, with most people paying below N60. Then there are, as at 2018, the 34% of people who don't pay...rich or poor. Plus our oil sector is groaning under subsides, and price controls which makes it difficult for gas producers to produce enough for market...and all this translates into a loss making power sector...and you expect them to give you light 24/7? Like how?

Plus when it was NEPA, the same things happened. Illegal connections, etc, etc.

4.We keep on telling ourselves we should get side hustle...yet we won't tell our country to get side hustle. Na oil we dey rely on. Oil whose price jumps up and down like someone's pulse rate. Right now, since 2008, oil has been at a price below our sustenance levels, and we are running into debt trying to live off one income...and yet, you expect to be like Europe or US with diversifed economies, and very high tax rates?

5.We keep on talking about corruption. Today, most of the people on this site who were blasting GEJ for being corrupt are excusing Buhari corrupotion,, while those who are blasting Buhari, when GEJ and co were doing looting, they kept quiet, or defended him. We only care about corruption when our side is not in power...when it is our side in power, corruption no longer is our concern...and the choopping from a very small budget continues...and we expect miracles.

6.We are a resource dependent country, not an industrial country. We import many things (we are not as bad as Venezuela though, but still awful)..and make nothing for export. And the things we sell...like oil, or want to sell...like minerals and agric produce ....their prices are not set in Abuja and Lagos, but in London, Paris and New York...and we somehow expect to earn enough income. Meanwhile industrial nations are able to set their own prices.


If we want a better society, we have to face some hard truths. Like we are not as rich as possible, and we are spending money we don't have...and we tolerate corruption too much...then we can progress. And even if we split into many countries tomorrow...these truths will still come and look at us in the face well well.

Good afternoon.

Where did you get the impression that Nigerians aren't ready to pay for water from?

You said many parts have tap water supply. So, how are they paying for the supply?

Is it not far cheaper to pay for tap water than other sources which the same people are paying for?

Aganju849:
Been saying this for years...earned quite a few enemies in the process, egomaniacs and afrocentrists who insist the black man is the apex of human races despite his obvious lack of collective achievement, his underdeveloped and chaos filled societies.

Truth is, an unacknowledged problem, one that has been normalized as the accepted state of affairs, will never ever ever be solved.

I agree with some of your points. When you talk about the black man there are different category. I have been to 17 African countries and I can say the words black man is the Nigeria anything which is a failure is what they want. There is no other black man in Africa which will vote for somebody which will destroy him and go abroad to a developed country and vote for that same person to destroy him there again only a Nigerian
