After seeing all these developments over the years we still resent and hate the white men that, through nothing but inspiration and hard work, gave us all these things. Agreed that white men where brutal during colonial times, it should be given to them for practically changing the world positively.

What happened to the black men who invented other things too? You sound like a racist.

I didnt say anything about breaking up.
I said they fought wars for centuries to achieve the peace they currently have.



Life often doesnt work that way. Each people need to inculcate and imbibe their own lessons over time and arrive at their own unique solutions. Copy and paste will not resolve such deep issues.

learning from people's mistakes doesn't mean u are copying hook, line and sinker. Adapting autochthonous home grown approaches might be all that is needed to make a difference. It's just unfortunate we've had leaders who think from the opposite lens of life.

That is who we are by nature and circumstances. Nigeria and Africa need these 3 solid rules to make progress.

1. Forbid private ownership of properties. No one should be allow to erect a structure except government or authorised agencies. All land should belong to the government.

2. Government most take total of 100% care of the young below 18yrs and those above 65yrs.

3. Social security for unemployed people should be a must for the government.

If we can do all or one of the above, you will see a tremendous human development like what we are seeing in western countries. You don't expect poverty striken people whose major focus is to accumulate wealth for the future to be innovative.

Your policies will impoverish and devastate the economy. It won't work.

Private property ownership and security of title is essential for the development of capital.

Taking care of old people is very costly. Nigeria does not have that kind of money.

China does not take good care of its old people and it prospered for years.

Well, we definitely have a huge problem with the dismal quality of leadership.

reason why I buy a part of your initial position of the colonial masters merging completely different people together. But that's not a complete reason for us to keep derailing at old age.

Listen to him.. white men? Did you know that the traffic light ubiquitous to all cities in the world was the creation of a black man?

Did you know that the portable refrigeration unit was also the creation of a black man?

That the light bulb we all use and love today would not have been possible without the work of Lewis Latimer a black man..

I do hate the older generation and how much it licks the backside of oyinbo.. Had your generation had more belief in itself Nigeria would have progressed like UAE, Japan, Singapore or South Korea (All excluding Japan were behind Nigeria at independence and became first world nations)..

This life ehnnn...now same movies we crave to watch then, I can't even watch 20 min before I sleep off..

The cost of Sony betamax video players were astronomical then, before cheaper VHS videotapes arrived on the scene and became more popular than the betamax video tapes that used shorter UHF tapes.

Very correct. Even some parent show dem Pepe. You will just see their goods dropped somewhere at the corridor and you will not see the girl. That happens mostly school hours and working time when the house is quiet

All mentioned were able to achieve all that because of the white who paved the way for them. That’s just the bitter truth

Hard way. The only way comes to mind

No be lie

Lol this isn't about being born in the 80s it's about the family u were born into or grew into abi how. As a kid in the 80s I can't relate to any of these. Before we moved to our own house in the late 80s to early 90s, our compound was just 3 families. Twin storey buildings we occupied one while two other families shared one and we all had everything we needed. And no street kids could barge in cos it was all gated and abokyy dey mount gates 24/7. Just try get money and give better memories to ur kids abeg so people won't take advantage of them while being naive. I just dey imagine how many girls today one brother use TV wipe off her virginity with steady samba

A lot of people are very ignorant. They don't know anything other than the basic circulated information. Trying to enlighten them will cause U more headache. It's why I laugh when I see such posts. I just let them remain in ignorance. The white man is God to them. If only they know half of the truths.

Why can't you enlighten us, but make sure you list side by side the achievements of white and Africa. The most painful thing, one can do to himself is for such person to be leaving in self denial, I mean deceiving yourself.

Both early 90s too.

make i reduce d volume.

I sabi one Zanga for that side that year that I cannot decode. Dem dey sharpen pencil live and direct for one agege pen cinema not to far from the territory of the empire

Ran one or two films in that cinema not to far from the emperors palace in my early breakout years until I downloaded the latest software and upgraded to digital platforms.

Please educate me with one of these groundbreaking inventions. Please don’t add Egyptian civilization.

You have search engines, I recommend Google and chatgpt.

Before colonial mentality will finish us all and because we're dark skinned , many have been brainwashed to think in a defeatist manner

Ika lomo Ejo. My mum must not see you do this thing

You are now blaming white for our woes and failures. Is white Man the president of this country now

dalass:
The so-called whites got everything from Africa. Medicine, science, astronomy and several other things, education etc.

No one is telling the story but there are many groundbreaking inventions of black people that are untold, unsung because whites would rather attribute horrible things to black people

I didn't mean cumminsm where state are ownership of the properties. Check my subsequent posts for more explanation.

Nigeria doesn't have money to take care of old people but have trillions embezzled by politicians annually?

You talked about China, what about hundreds of countries in Europe and North America that are doing it? Do China more economically, socially and resourceful better than them?

This is a typical Nogeria mentality, we are quick to refer to particular society, while we neglected what good societies are doing.

kachistone:
How do you think government ownership of all properties can spur development? This looks like extreme socialism. Can you explain how government ownership of all properties can lead to development ?

Government don't own properties, you only acquire them through through government. Check my subsequent post in this thread for explanation.

The same system western countries all of us are running to is operating.

Fiscus105:
Any room where there is videotape then, 3 things most likely in that house.

1. Bed bugs would be their regular customers.

2. It attracts thieves.

3. If you are a bachelor, it was a charm to sleep with variety of girls.

Today, every Genz has his/her choice of films on his/her phone and laptop.

Nah only 2 Television we had in our street, my grandfather has 14" black and white and one other man.

Highway to multidimensional poverty. In the first place such can only work in ethnically homogeneous countries such as Namibia and Botswana. However, for Nigeria with its many ethnic groups, such is impossible.

Number two and three require enough funds to implement. How do you generate funds when you have banned capitalism - the only economic system that has pulled more people out of poverty than any economic system?

30-40 years ago is not overnight. In a Working country 10 years is more than enough for minor evolution like this.
