Okay, I spiritually identify as a white American. Do you hear how silly it sounds?

How many white people are from Nigeria?

You claim the British military is over 300 years old, at that time, what were Yoruba people doing? They did not even call themselves Yoruba until this British force used the name to identify the set of black coloured human beings they started to deal with.

As for my contribution to the so-called black race, I would not say because there is this culture of "drag him down" we all have which is why black nations are not progressive. Your leaders would see potentials to make society more liveable but would actively setup policies that plunged everyone except them into perpetual poverty.
Total cap shit.

Cubans identifying as Yorubas spiritually isn't stupid, most of them actually have Yoruba genes simply because of the fact that they had ancestors who were Yoruba slaves in Cuba and passed down the Yoruba religion to them..... you're actually the one that has been sounding stupid.

Yorubas, lucumi or nangos whatever the name the British calls them doesn't invalidate the fact that they were an ethnic group of millions of people sharing similar genes, language and culture, and before the British came over they managed to build an empire that lasted over a hundred years, we may have not been as developed as the British due to demographic and geographical factors but it doesn't mean our relevance was insignificant.

And your failure to state your contribution on your black race on an anonymous platform isn't because of some preconceived pull him down issue with black people but basically because you've made no tangible contribution whatsoever except for complaining, bitvhin, blaming your issues on your government which is a represention of you, blame it on your race, blame on your country and everyone except yourself passing the fvcked up ideas to your kids and making circle of blame and no impact.

What's even hilarious about some of the chimps on this thread is how they don't see that their ignorance is part of the problem that they bitvhin about.
It's hilariously ironical

Plus how can you complain about your race not doing great things when you yourself aren't doing anything worthwhile.... you'd think most of these chimps are running the next SpaceX but they probably living off pocket money or earnings from bet naija and spend their free time watching Bbnaija. Lol, it's really stupid.

[s]A race that never introduced any known technology and couldn't cloth themselves until white man came? Is that a race capable of thinking? It can never rise.

Before the white man came, most black never had an idea of the shape of African continent until the white man came to explore it for them, conquered it and thought them. That's a race that is not intelligent enough to explore it's immediate domain. Most white at about that same time knew the shape of European continent and even Asia because they travelled and explored it. They had compass and sailors, even traveling explorers who wrote books describing cultures in Asia And Europe[/s]
Please, please, please, learn your history. Read and please keep mute until you've studied historic African civilisations. Start with our people from Benin and then go to the Ethiopians and the Egyptians.

I have American genes and I spiritually identify as an American, why is it hard for you to understand angry

I also speak English which is the language of my ancestors.

Of course your relevance was not insignificant because the British empire needed hard working slaves to sustain itself. Did your ancestors expect their white master to pick cotton and dig up all that coal?

Trust me, like all black folk, the moment I can create an environment that matters , I will make significant contribution. You will hear my name. Be patient.

The Black race will only rise to prominence if Black people stop being coons, sell outs and self sabotaging. The African man will connive with the Whites to keep his fellow Africans down. How can you rise to prominence when you are joining hands with groups of people like the Caucasians, Chinese and Arabs who don't even want you to rise to begin with? Other racial groups put their people first. They prioritize their own people while Black people will support other racial groups at the detriment of their own. No be juju be that?

Look at African leaders as a typical example. African leaders are instructed by their colonizers France, Britain, etc to create policies that will cause inflation and economic down turn in African countries and these African leaders agree. Our so-called leaders sell us out to the Caucasians, Chinese, etc for loans which they our leaders turn around and loot.

You cannot expect to rise to prominence when you are self hating. Caucasians are where they are today because they won't join hands with non-Caucasians who would want to bring their race down. Even when it comes to hiring for jobs, they (Caucasians) consider their own people first. In Nigeria, Nigerians will rather hire a White person than a fellow Nigerian with the same qualifications and work experience. No be juju be that? Take a look at many of the top private schools in Nigeria. Many have principals that are not Nigerian or African. Nigerians feel since it is a white face running the school, it means the quality of the school's education will automatically be top notch.

Until Black people begin to practice self love and love for members of their own race, they will continue to remain at the bottom of the barrel. Until Black people begin to support and uplift one another rather than seeking to tear down and destroy one another due to greed, envy and unhealthy competition, we as a people can never rise. Until we stop self sabotaging, don't expect the Black race to rise to prominence. White people did not get to where they are today by throwing members of their own race under the bus. Think about it.
You are talking joor.

First of brown is the color of my skin and yes I've seen white Cubans who spiritually identify as Yoruba. The term black was invented by the racist europeans to classify African American slaves in America and it's neither a real identity or grouping. Plus what wokeness are you referring to? Is it by not wallowing in self pity and taking up an identity created by some europeans that you consider as "petty wokeness"? Plus it's pretty stupid and dumb to say that blackness refers to place of origin.

You sit an compare a military of less than 70years old to one that is over 300 years old and think that you sound intelligent? What has been your contribution to your so called black race that you speak of except from sitting down opening self pity threads talking about how you suck meanwhile offering no impact or solutions.. stop bitching
Abeg shut up there. Less than 70 years old kee you there.

In 2 years, see what Biafran military built. See what Isreali military built in just a few years. See what Vietnamese military built under one year. And so on and so on.

Ethiopians and Egyptians don't identify as black. They identify as Arabs.

Now, where is the much talked about Benin civilization today? Why is there no continum after independence? Do you still want to blame the white? Dubai transformation from desert to skyscraper city took just 30 years. What happened to Nigeria 60 years old black nation

Don't argue with that guy, he is irredeemable. After patiently reading his comments I can identify he has a personality disorder - a sort of superiority complex that lets him argue to win without absorbing reasonable facts presented to him. Throwing up the argument of Igbo and Yoruba being different race made me see he has hidden tribal sentiments too for Igbos. So he is part of the problem we mentioned. Blacks hate themselves that's why they never progress within the African continent. It was blacks who kidnapped fellow black men to exchange for mirror from Europeans or use fellow black to pay for Hajj in Saudi

I think he has a personality disorder.

First, from his moniker, western(Yoruba) oligarch(superior/elite)

Second, from his comments, "Igbos and Yoruba are different" - shows subtle hate because he doesn't want to be grouped together with other blacks, cos he feels somehow superior.

Then he tries to prove that superiority by saying even white Cubans identify as Yoruba spiritually. This is not necessary but to prove a point that Yoruba is a race of its own

This is called superiority complex and it's a mental disorder. You can realize throughout that he throws tantrum each time in self defense rather than show some logic. You can't have a meaningful argument or discussion with someone like this. They prefer to win argument than to learn from a discussion and are averse to constructive criticisms and opposing views

When asked to give a solution. He gave none but hit back at the OP to quit banter and bring the solution instead. Summarily, he is not the type of individual to involve in a logical argument. Nothing will come out of it
Re: Will Black Race Be Able To Rise To Prominence? by Ruke1989:
The day indigenious Nigerians (Yoruba, Fulani, Hausa, Igbo) become minority in their own country Nigeria, that's when Nigeria will progress. Benin civilization talked about is not solely Benin. Benin empire had urhobos, Benin, isoko, ijaws, Delta igbos, itsekiri and part of ondo under the oba of Benin.

If you look at developed nations,the population demography is such that non indigenes make up not less than 60 percent of the population. The USA only indigenous population are red skinned indians in the state of Oklahoma. Every other person came from elsewhere.

If you look at Australia, new Zealand, UK and many other European nations, migrant population dominate all of them. From UK, Italy, Germany, etc. Even internal migration among Europeans is just as good. In the Arab world, Dubai, Kuwait and the most developed of them has not less than 60% migrant population.

What decimated indigenous population means is that it renders tribal politicking meaningless. Since a Fulani man for example will know that Fulani + Hausa + Yoruba population can't win him election in a Nigeria made up of at least 60% foreigners. A Fulani or Yoruba or Igbo politician will be more ready to win the heart of the entire population since he knows playing tribal cards won't work.

If I am to be a politician my answer to bad leadership will be to introduce all sort of African students scholarships, citizenship by investment, visa free movement from target countries that will make foreigners flood Nigeria. Even if they are from other African countries. That will put a final end to the mess of all these south west, north, south east presidency (politics of ethnicity) and leave politicians with no option than performing hard to win the masses where tribal affiliation won't work

With exception to China, most developed nations had their development fast tracked through the foreigners who flooded their country during the slave trade period and after. Look at Gaza strip, the most densely populated city in the world. Despite all the bombing, it gets quickly rebuilt because so much population compete for little space makes development faster, opens business opportunities. Only lagos is densely populated in Nigeria, so all companies want to go there for the market opportunity it present. Part of the reason oyibo keep giving out visa lottery to 50,000+ people every year. They see it helps their development to allow skilled people come in

Blacks on our own we would still be living in caves no cap. Did you know that Australia was a dumping site for British prisoners. But the white British people conquered their environment and the aborigines and built what we now know as Australia.

The point still remain, the whites are on another level to all other races especially black race.

Take a look at South Africa as a concrete example. No sovereign black African country has been able to match South Africa till date, tells a lot.

The gods sorry the whites came to our shores. Clothed us, gave us civilization, gave us religion. In fact we owe our lives to this guys.

Y'all be humble. The whites are levels above us!

Can we evolve to match them? Well yes! We could deliberately copy some of their genes to replace ours (intermarrying) with them or genetically rengineering our genes. So that in about 300 years time we should be somewhere close enough you know.
Re: Will Black Race Be Able To Rise To Prominence? by Goodlyhrt(m): 9:14pm On Oct 23, 2021

Most them complaining about black race don't have their shit together, thus they mirror their failings on something external, either a race or the opposite gender. Lol, i know their types.

the op asked a valid question but you are taking it somewhere else. Firstly, you use a white man's language to write. I bet the yoruba alphabet is made up of the white man's alphabet. Stop lying to yourself. The black person hates the other black person and until we change that, we are going nowhere.
do you know that there's a Yoruba script?
