comon common sense to assimilate and interprete u no get, did I say anything bad??

Wisereborn:
Comprehend what you cannot make anything out of

Make my IQ reduce 😁😆😁😄 Abeg ooo

Gustavowhite:
not the north but Yoruba
They support every wrong as far it’s not against their own

plaetton:
I guess you mean that common sense, patriotism, prudent economic planning and management, constitutional democracy and the rule of law are all western solutions that cannot work in Africa.
RIGHT?

Well, So far, that has proven to be correct.
So maybe we should abandon civilization entirely and just live like animals.

Sangoamadioha1:
Does civilization mean copying the west. Africans by our heritage and culture are more socialist in ideology than capitalism which is a western culture. Our economic model should be socialist in nature. That is looking at your peculiarities to resolve your challenges and not just copying in the name of civilization.

DaChosenOne:
The North contributes nothing to Nigeria. Yoruba people are some of the successful and brilliant Nigerians. Science, Technology and the Arts. Nigeria's richest states are Yoruba states. The North needs to destroyed. Then Islam and Arab culture banned!

DaChosenOne:
Nigeria needs to get rid of the North. Bomb and sterilise them. Then make Islam illegal. Then Nigeria needs to build a wall separating Nigeria from the Islamic/Arabicized Sahel. Nigeria Then needs to build strong ties with Israel, China and other important countries for better development.

plaetton:
First of all, kindly name any tribe in Nigeria whose economic culture was socialism. And I hope you understand the meaning of socialism.

Secondly, If you name any country on earth were socialism has succeeded as an economic model, I would be willing to listen you a bit more.

The funny but sad thing about Africa, with Nigeria as a good example, is that we continue to fail at every single subject , every year, and rather than do a thorough self- examination, we keep blaming our teachers and our schools for not being good enough.

We blame slavery, colonialism, neo-colonialism. We blame the free market capitalism ,and then we blame the democratic system of government as not being suitable enough for us, even though the free market system and democratic system of government is working very well for our ThirdWorld peers, who were also previously colonized like us.
If we were a child, we would be treated as a dysfunctional child with learning disabilities.
And that's the bitter truth we should be telling ourselves.

Sangoamadioha1:
I should be asking you if you know what socialism is if you dont know that Africans practice socialism as a cultural norm.
Capitalism and democracy are western cultures not suited for us. Please show me one African country doing well with pure capitalism and democracy, just one example.


An example of African society that practiced socialism and succeeded is Libya (Gaddafi's era). There are other examples but let's start with this.

plaetton:
Ha ha ha.
I challenged you to show proof of something, and then you throw it back at me to show you proof of the opposite.
Very very brilliant

You failed to give me even one single example of a precolonial culture in Nigeria that practiced socialism, an obvious repudiation of your earlier statement.
Congratulations! You just scored an F in common sense, and an A+ in fragmented thinking.

As for Libya being your example of a successful socialist nation, that is soooo laughable.
I actually feel a tad embarrassed just reading such nonsense in defense of Africa's perennial failures in governance in a public forum.

Sangoamadioha1:
In the olden days, the community will give you land to farm. You and your age grades will work on each others farms. You give some parts of your produce to the community. The community in turn helps those that need help with these contributions.
Now lie to yourself if this is not how the average African society is before the white man.
Like I said, you don't know the meaning of socialism.

plaetton:
Where exactly was this practiced ?
Name the place and time, please.

Sangoamadioha1:
And the guy does not even know about his culture. Go and read up about African culture before the white man came. As an advocate of capitalism, you should be able to pay for your knowledge, so i refuse to educate you for free.

plaetton:
This guy can't be serious.
This is not happening

You postulated something.
I only asked for where and when it happened, and you cannot even show me ? You're asking me to read up on African culture?
Are you kidding me ?

My dear friend, now I know why you failed most of your courses.

I find it very amusing that people come to a public forum to pontificate on issues for which they have half-baked knowledge and zero verifiable facts.

Sangoamadioha1:
Try all these on a less intelligent person. You are ignorant of the issue you are arguing about but hiding under a facade of false superiority.
I thought i would even gain some knowledge from you through your thought process but I never knew i was wasting my time with a dullard with a superiority complex.
I am through with you.

plaetton:
We blame slavery, colonialism, neo-colonialism.

DeepSight:
I believe it is fair enough if Sangoamadioha1 says that some of the pre-colonial societal arrangements in Africa were socialist or akin to socialism.

Not all, just some. There were actually very warlike and predatory African Empires and States all over the place. Also many were trade kingdoms with a highly mercantile nature. There were also despots and blood thirsty tyrants.

DeepSight:
These three things are a huge part of the explanation for where we are today - but please note that I hasten to add that I do not say this as any excuse. We have utterly failed and need to brace up and take responsibility and do better.

I just wish to note that people often tend to dismiss the impact of these three things in retarding Africa.

Long time bro.

No a rocket science..

In as much as Anambra became a dubai under Peter Obi, nothing God can not do

helinues:
You are the one who has given up about everything considering your activities on this forum.

I understand the frustration of supporting things that are meant to be doomed for almost a decade not to talk of shattered dream of Utopia Biafra

Better Nigeria with Tinubu's presidency

Uchek:
U comment shows that u don’t even know how Dubai became the inspiring and acclaimed Dubai of today. Anambra does not have the political & economic independence Dubai had to become what it is today. Even Lagos which enjoys undue advantage cannot be Dubai. So why expect Anambra to be.
OLODO RABATA!
