Interesting discussion..... However, I disagree with the majority of the comments (not in a sublime way), though I agree that our (black race) issues are partly due to colonialism and subsequent identity erosion. Basically, if you don't know who you are, you will never know what sets you apart from the next man. According to the Freudian concept of the superego where he suggests that human behavior is influenced by unconscious memories, thoughts, and urges. The black race have yet to collectively realise who they are. Our leaders focus on money and material wealth that are not even produced by their people. They believe more in foreign investors than local companies. They disparage their own people and cart away the collective wealth of their nations while cavorting with their former slave masters. It should definitely boggle the mind since such actions defy logic. Which is where the Freudian theory comes into play. "This theory also proposes that the psyche comprises three aspects: the id, ego, and superego. The id is entirely unconscious, while the ego operates in the conscious mind. The superego operates both unconsciously and consciously." (Copied). So where there is a psychological disconnect within the psyche due to vacuos existence, then the individual will act in ways that are antithetical to rational objectivity. Having disorganised cities, poverty and bad leadership are the effects, not the cause of our problems. There is a reason why developed nations invest heavily in research, education and information dissemination. It is because they understand that the human starts from the psyche. Controlling a human without understanding his base instincts or knowing how to manipulate them will always cater more to his elusive essence. When we understand the importance of the above, that is when we as a people start to generate wealth, feed ourselves, largely provide our own needs and lastly choose better leaders that represent who we truly are. Beautiful cities and well maintained infrastructure will become the effects of these positive subliminal state of mind. 1 Like |

Raalsalghul: You raised good points bro but then, I don't think we need to have high IQ to have atleast a decent society. The Arabs are not even that smart to me. They are more like we Africans but they realized their weakness and outsource it to those who are better than them. I believe we can do that too. If we can't build refineries, outsource it to Germans. E no dey kill person. No be shame. If you can't generate electricity, good roads, good schools, good railways, good hospitals etc. Just outsource it to people better than you 1 Like 1 Share |

nairalanda1: Gabon is 2.5 million and worse than us China is 6 times our population and has some success Stop making excuses . oil makes more than diamonds Singapore and Japan have no minerals Stop making excuses . who send you message to rely on one export? Is Malaysia not our mate in palm oil Can we not provide cheap labour than china? Stop making excuses . Countries like Nigeria that have a large population size and are prosperous also rely heavily on exporting manufactured goods and services, and taxable income. A multiplicity of money streams if you will. who hold us? .why are we still relying on oil? 6 Likes 3 Shares |

emmaodet: I will disagree with you on the bold sir. It takes intelligence to discover your weaknesses as an entity and take steps to correct them. At least the Arabs and Chinese know they they are not creative and prefer to outsource and copy. The fact that we cannot confidently outsource our sector to capable hand due to selfishness is sheer unintelligence to me. I've seen the benefits of outsourcing with my koro eyes: was fortunate to work at Apapa Port and saw vast improvement when the Dutch company handled it compared to NPA. Now imagine same strategy for other key sectors of our economy. And why are we not doing so? In my opinion, that's a trait of low IQ. 7 Likes 5 Shares |

blueAgent: You think I have low IQ because my comment does not align with yours. As I have repeatedly said here, Nigeria will develop when we diversify our revenue stream via taxes AND when we become an exporter of industrial goods and services, you know, like sane developed countries.

Raalsalghul: I agree with you and Emmaodet. Unfortunately, the most vocal people against such a plan are blacks, both Africans and African-Americans, based abroad. They will never return to Africa to make things work as they are supposed to, but are at the forefront of discouraging such a plan in the name of racism and whatnot. Unless enacted by African governments, most White countries won't involve themselves in such. The Chinese who are doing the same are being accused of racism, whereas no be dem trade black people in slavery. We are too emotional. I and Tensa20 have discussed the same outsourcing and agreed that certain parts of the economy should be outsourced to people who know it better than us. If the ills of slave trade and colonialism would prevent us from working with the White man, let's do with the Japanese, South Koreans and Chinese. Hand construction and maintenance of key sectors to them. Let them run it as they do in their countries. Pay them good money, and ensure our people get trained. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Gerrard59: Exactly. I don't know why it is hard for them to do that. Do they just feel happy, satisfied and contented seeing their own people suffering and wallowing in poverty? How can leaders be so bad and stupid to keep their own people perpetually poor just because they think it is easier to control people en mass with poverty. A well fed society will be hard to decieve and control so the best tool to keep them in chains is through poverty, mass illiteracy and religion. But then, eniti o ba ta Ara Ile ni opo, a ra lo won - if you sell out your people cheaply for your selfish reasons and personal gains, then you will either have to buy them back in an expensive way or pay the price. If you render your farmers useless by not providing them with adequate security to farm, modern farm machineries like tractors, harvesters, sprayers so as to provide more than enough for the society and export, then you have sold them cheaply and you have to pay back by importing with scarce resources for a more expensive food. If you render your education useless, you have to pay the price of your people going to school abroad with expensive pounds and dollars. If you render your hospitals useless, you pay the price by flying abroad to treat yourself and it doesnt come cheap. If you don't make your refineries work, you have to pay the price of importing it and more expensive. Ignorance, corruption is far more expensive than putting the hard work to make the system work but i guess nobody wants to pass through that route 2 Likes 3 Shares |
