Take it easy on your black skin that's too harsh

More like DUMB AND DUMBER.

Never mind “harsh”.

The kind of buildings built by the moors in europe, you cant see any of the kind of buildings constructed in africa. There must have been a factor that enabled them to thrive in europe and its obvious a delimiting factor exists in africa. Maybe its some kind of darkness spititually that stunts any form of progress or prosperity

I think the relative good weather in sub-saharan Africa contributed to our complacency and not having the urge to innovate and conquer our environment as much and as fast as the Europeans and Arabs did! What gave them that extra advantage was the invention of gunpowder and being able to conquer the high-seas! It appeared we were content raiding neighbouring regions/ethnicities for slaves and territory to form empires that appeared to be great only in name or only as local players!

Through centres of learning and knowledge like Timbuktu, and civilisations like that of the Nubia of ancient Sudan who were once Pharaohs of Egypt, black Africans had the opportunity to develop, innovate and form progressive societies that could have rivalled those of ancient Europe and Arabia, but we were slow off the blocks and just as we were getting our act together and starting to flourish, our adversaries had taken a head-start and next we knew, our black ass became enslaved for centuries! We’re yet to recover from the psychological and societal damage and trauma till this day!

Informative thread 🔥💯

See what happened to zimbabwe after the white farmers left

No region in Nigeria has the capacity to be Singapore in a million years with our current thought process.

There are rules to development and underdevelopment.

Singapore and most Asian countries developed with Neo Confucianism.

Europe developed with Protestant work ethic.

The Scandinavians or the nordic developed with the Law of Jante.

The USA developed with Magna Carta.

All these principles border on community interest over an individual. Frugality. Hard work. Oneness. Justice. Sincerity. Humility. Etc

But the reverse is the case among Nigerians. They practice the Law of Narcissism.

You can’t bypass the principles and just be wishful about development.

So you mean to say black ppl dont even have a basic philosophy guiding their principles and actions and manouvering them through challenges, seems various think thank organisations are not doing a good job mimicking western society values,norms and practices. Nigerias population explosion was monumentally a serious problem and proliferation of the same business models. How can you have a street with ten supermarkets selling the same thing. Over proliferation of the same business models

I haven’t said blacks don’t have that. I said Nigerians don’t have such principles for now.

It’s not about race or skin color. But if you are trying to say that race plays an important role in holding up to these principles and actions, maybe it’s something we also have to look into in another topic.

Nigerian population explosion was never going to be a problem if we have the aforementioned principles backed by effective action and justice.

Indonesia is close to 300m. USA is close to 350m. China is 1.5b. How is their population a disadvantage to them?

There’s nothing relatively good about sub Saharan weather. Same weather that other people found difficult to live in?

But let’s assume it’s because of good weather that we became complacent. Should the complacency still apply to this day?

We are at the point of death and we are still complacent. This point is where other people like Europe and Asia got to and decided to make something out for themselves.

It’s not about weather. There’s something wrong somewhere among us. We have to begin to talk about it and proffer immediate and long lasting solutions.

And nobody should talk of self hate when we begin to discuss this inherent issues.

I believe less reliance on religion or the gods and more adventures to explore new territory is what helped the Caucasian and Asians develop faster.

@Bolded: The excerpt below from my last post speaks to that.

'........We’re yet to recover from the psychological and societal damage and trauma till this day!'

As to what we can do as a race to fix the situation....it's the same societal damage that has prevented us from facing and addressing our problems! But that's an entirely new topic altogether!

There is no arguing that one

The foundation to build a success story such as Singapore does not currently exist in Nigeria

Lee Kaun Yew the very first prime minister of Singapore was prime minister between 1955 to 2015. That is for 60 years. Our own first Prime Minister was Murdered in cold blood, followed by a senseless civil war. Of course the foundation was completely destroyed.

Clearly, Neo Confucianism, Magna Carta, Protestant work ethic, Law of Jante etc are all religious principles.

These OECD countries that used these principles were very religious as at the time they were actively using it.

Religion has little or nothing to do with our backwardness or crude thought process in Nigeria. The dark minds and manipulation of these religious principles for selfish benefits is the major problem.

Continuity is one major factor for development. However, you must show working the few years you are tested before people can allow you continue. Lee Kuan Yew showed workings from day one. Research more about him, you will find out he did far more for Singapore in 3 years than some Nigerian leaders who stayed close to 10 years. Matter of fact, the development in Singapore took place in less than 2 decades. Other years were just consolidation.

But then again, we’ve had cases of short lived or tenured leaders who set their country up in less than 15 years. Deng Xiaoping was less than 10 years in office. China never remained the same. Park of South Korea etc.

Talk about 3 years Nigeria/Biafra war? It was a big blow but people came out stronger even with 20pounds startup for easterners. How come with this tachiri money, some of them grew to become millionaires in less than 2 years yet the Nigerian structure hasn’t had any significant improvement?

What about South Korea that Japan destroyed for decades yet came out stronger in a few years of liberation?

Japan did same to China. USA did same to Japan and some Asian countries. The world did same to Germany.

Or do we talk about our backyard here Rwanda who fought very heinous wars?

Is the biafran war the reason we are yet to develop?

Baba, I tell you the truth. We are not yet ready. The reason for that, I don’t know.

Never! Singapore works because merit & competence determines leadership, not religion or tribal affiliations.

When I talk about the enemy within see them. The only reason IT loves you because IT hates IGBOs also .

Aside that, IT is a loyalist to the Fulani North

This is not an omoluabi at all.

it's both true and false in the direction of the approach of application of right knowledge. Often our developmental limitation isn't just because of leadership or political narratives but because of the most common value systems we imbibe

fortunately and unfortunately the challenge is not the weather, in fact the weather is good, the major challenge has been the introduction of divide and rule system as far back as the 1800s and the back door divide and rule still going on as neocolonialism and the central focus is power and resource control

IQ TESTS ARE DISCREDITED GARBAGE DEPENDENT ON CULTURAL EXPERIENCE.

YOU DO NOT HAVE SOME WHITE or ASIAN IMBEC.ILES develop IQ tests for the rest of humanity based on THEIR cultural parameters, and then claim “high intelligence” when they inevitably score highest.

it's not so true, most Africans even have higher IQs than the races you mentioned. At a time it was even written that South Koreans have one of the lowest IQs in the world, they were slaves to Japan who believed they cannot be free from their trap, see them today. The central challenge has been the vast availability of resources here and the use of divide and rule to impoverish the people which has been on for almost 300 years

Singapore primarily worked because it had no resources so they have to focus on systemic intelligence

that's not really true, the political system running the world civilization originated from religion. The main issue is Knowledge and Wisdom Acumen especially in the area of Political and Economic Power for turning instabilities into Stabilities
