pansophist:I am not that vast with international politics nuances, but from listening to Dr Jordan Peterson, one can tell he seeks for the truth, and most times criticises the west for their shortcomings and even his beloved Canada, going as far as taking legal actions against the Canadian govt and winning. I rely to a large extent on the education he gives for free on YouTube, everybody is shaped foremost by their environment. I believe Dr JP is well read and a deep thinker worth listening to, like one of the rules in his book I think he seeks to understand the opposing side perspective before taking a hard stand. From reading your posts about "western hegemony" you've been preaching since the Rus-Ukr war started, I understand your view point, "absolute power currupts" there must be check and balance. But If China becomes a solidified world power tmr omo I won't be surprised if their subtle oppression of weak 3rd world countries supercedes that of the US/West or retaliate adding jara for all the evils Japan did to them in their low state...or will they play the bigger country ![]() When you finally get to listen to this episode, I'll really like to read your take on it, especially on the points raised by the guest Mr Micheal Yon - WEF and the imminent Global famine. |

Despite this reality, I wish our leaders can just create the enabling environment for the citizens. Good roads & constant electricity alone can go a long way to help businesses to thrive. I don't know if I've asked you this question before, but how does the West prevent our politicians from building good roads, providing constant electricity and other basic amenities? For instance, the road leading to my house in Ogun State is so bad, did the West prevent the governor from fixing that road? I guess the part where you said our politicians choose to embezzle answers that question. Thanks for your continuous supply of good info on this forum. More grace. pansophist: |

maak400:The west does not stop our leaders from doing what is within their ability. What I wrote is not a justification for bad governance, I'm sure you understood it in that sense, I'm merely pointing out the realities of global politics from an historical perspective. Lots of countries with even lesser gdp and resources available to Nigerian government utilised it well, they did their best, putting Nigeria to shame. Having said that, my aim saying all these is to wake other lion who are fast asleep, to understand what's going on, and the kind of world they were born in. |

inspirator1:There is no panacea unless the international order (global leadership) changes. We are in a very complex, extremely hopeless, and almost impossible situation. I talked about compound wealth all the time, and it's a best friend or your worse enemy. The formula of compound wealth is that it would reward your work, either good or bad. So since Africans have been under captivity for over 400 years (judging from when the first slave ship arrived in Africa in 1619), our complacency and inability to defeat the west have compounded favorably to them, and negatively to us. Compound wealth is exponential, it's like how you get a huge tree even if you plant a single seed. So imagine all that we could have become for hundreds of years, and instead, we went backward. It is almost impossible. We have been chained and locked. Let me give a scenario of how worse it is. Imagine we are a one-week-old orange plant, and the west is a farmer, they will never water it, or expose it to sunlight and photosynthesis, instead, they will uproot it. It is exactly what they did when they killed Gadaffi, Sankara, Lumumba and co. When they were silent during the killings at lekki toll gate, and many more. But there is a tiny way out, but we won't reach there with cesspit democracy, democracy is a scam, it's too flawed. For example, a sheep might not be able to protect itself from a hyena, but if the sheep are protected by humans, then the hyena will have to defeat the human first before it can kill the sheep. The sheep is Africa or the third world, the hyena is the west, and the human is the new challenging superpower, which is China. So we must understand power politics, and play accordingly, to ally with powers capable of defeating the west such as Russia/China duo (this is what Assad did hence he is still alive and Syria getting back to normal), Sadly, we don't have good leaders and our political system makes it easy to infiltrate. Democracy is so useless that if for example, Buhari is doing what the west doesn't want, they will sponsor and fund an idiot that will do everything they want will billions and return it to the status quo, a good example is Ukraine and Zelensky, or when they sponsor Blaise Compaore and killed Sankara, which Compaore then undo every progress Sankara did in Burkina faso. A one-party political system such as the one practiced in Singapore and China is the way. Just like a CEO of a company takes a company from zero to a billion USD, leadership is not something you change every four years. No leader can achieve anything within four years. Even if Peter Obi is elected, he cant not undo all the mistakes of Nigeria for over four hundred years in eight years. Democracy is flawed. Only in democracy will ancestors like Tinubu win because he has money. Democracy is a system for the rich and famous to rule. Democracy also equalizes the vote of intelligent scholars like Soyinka and a northern almajiri that will sell his vote and future for a plate of tuwo and tea and will vote for useless reasons such as he is a Muslim or he is from my village. And in a country where over 80 percent are undereducated, it is easy to get their vote. Democracy is a new political system that was enforced on all colonized country and lots of respectable philosophers criticized it in the past, and they were killed for that, I think Socrates was killed due to his criticism of democracy. Africa needs a leadership league from the ground up, that will carry the affairs of the country like a CEO without cutting their time in office like how democracies do and disrupting progress by electing an idiot after four years. But for that to happen, expect the west to come to bomb us and return us to the status quo, they won't let that happen, so we must ally ourselves with other powers, like how a sheep seek protection from human, because the only thing a monster fears, is another monster. Either we become a dangerous monster (eg have ICBMs like North Korea that can reach any part of the globe), or ally with those that have it. This was what China did in 1949 with the soviet union before they could stand on themselves. |

You have a good analogy. I equally enjoyed how you attacked the loopholes of democracy. I was discussing with a friend this eve, I told him our problem in this country especially the Southern part of Nigeria, is that we cherished so much the kind of education the West bequeathed to us while the North despise it and align most with their Islamic studies, which favours them most during electioneering; using Western education for penetration when necessary. Sequel to what the West did to Africa, in a wholistic approcah till we erode every systems they bequeathed to us, we will always be their pawn. Behave like the Northern elites that gauged western excesses to their educational system while we develop indigenously and then set up laws that will equally promote such environment. It will be a win for us. Nonetheless, the political will is DOD because of the primitive accumulation of wealth that have bedeviled their psyches. Even the weak wills are attacked just their GEJ - Ajaokuta steel. It is these obvious reasons the West is always at loggerheads with Communist states (who chooses to be truly indigenous and independent) because the evil which the perpetuate with democracy is not obtainable. Hence, the constant mispresentation of the communists acts with the aid of their media. The picture below is a succinct pattern of how the West presents their friends as against their perceived foes. pansophist:

inspirator1:I have not even attacked democracy yet, I have closely studied the flaws of democracy and I have reached a conclusion that democracy can only work when the countries are already fully developed such as in scandinavia. Anything short of that is kidding. Let me shock you a bit. The so-called beacon of democracies (eg US, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, etc) never developed with democracy, they colonized, raped, and robbed the world for centuries, even up till now, but they mask it with democracy and tell you to follow it. How stupid are we? Democracy is like how a thief will rob at night but calls himself a Christian. Then tells other Christians that are not thieves that they are poor because they aren't Christian enough for God to bless them. For example, China, a nondemocratic country is the only superpower in modern history that grew from zero to a superpower status without bombing a single country, raising an amount of x4 Nigerian population (800M people) out of poverty, without robbing no one, but the west wants you to hate them and call them dictatorship. Nigeria and Africa will NEVER grow with democracy, there is just no way to sugarcoat it. I know the leaders know this, but politics is a game of power, they know the fate that awaits them, and hence they just stick to the status quo. As the decades roll by and the world deepens in multilateralism, then you will see countries moving away from that system and political groups in hibernation springing up from all corners, and the dawn has arrived. Democracy is a scam. |

It feels refreshing to know that there are still informed people left in this country of brainwash£d individuals. Some people dont understand that the west watches Nigeria (africa) steady with eagle eyes. we are like a shiny toy they will do every thing to keep.

Babtunz:Yes it's like that. There is a saying that "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times".You see when you're born with a silver spoon, all your survival senses are tamed. You become docile and moral, and see the world through such lense, until reality hits you in the face. It's why it's easy for yahoo boys to scam these white people, they have never lived under existential threat all their lives, have a good heart, and assume the same for the rest of the world. People are only as moral as their survival. When your survival is under threat, at that point, you'll know if you're a good person or not. Take covid for example. people are buying everything and loading on stocks and weapons to prevent neighbours from showing up lol. In the US where gun ownership is legal, you'll be shot for trespassing, even if you did not come to beg or steal food. Europeans lived all their lives with a sense of lack, a threat to their survival, hence they have to do whatever it takes to be on top. For example there are areas in Nigeria and Africa with no trace of modernisation and civility. No electricity, roads, hospital, even coca cola. No phone network mast, TV, etc. Many don't even know they are in a country called Nigeria, as far as they are concerned, they know that they are under some village and identify with it. And they survived, because our climate and soil is good. Not in europe. You'll die, to put it simply. Technology has to penetrate deep into its interior because the winter will teach you a lesson if you don't make provisions for it. So you see, you can't compare the temperament of Africans and Europeans. One lives in constant existential threat, while the other does not, a reality that shapes their outlook of the world. Just look how fragile Europe is now, they are facing an existential threat as Russia is cutting off oil to them, and winter is coming. If they don't solve this issue before the peak of winter comes, they will suffer no caps. Especially Germany. This should give you a sneak peak while the Europeans have been so brutal trying to be on top, because it's a matter of their survival. They will rather you call them evil than not existing at all. Their survival is first before morality. That's the way of the world. So if you don't make yourself strong and tough, others that are will use you as a beach to go on top. That's how the game goes. |

0neal:I am done watching it, and to some extent, I am quite disappointed by the general theme of their discussion which is centered around ''China bad, west good''. They see others through their western lens which is heavily biased and subjective. They focus more on the ''outcome'' of things, not the ''why'' of it. I think JBP should just focus on psychology, he is doing really badly at political discourse. And his over-usage of profanity and anger toward things he disagrees with just kinda reduces the esteem I hold him in. Let me know what you think and we can discuss it. There is more I have to say, but I start with this on first. |
