Nothing deep here; it is simply a matter of looking at the facts. Compare Black communities across continents and regions of the world, and assess our progress and achievements against those of other societies. Look at our performance in education, science, technology, industrialisation, infrastructure, governance, and economic development.

When you examine these areas objectively, you cannot ignore the gaps that exist. And when I say “we are wired with negative energy,” I am referring to the destructive attitudes and behaviours we have normalised among ourselves: corruption, tribalism, selfishness, the celebration of mediocrity, and the tendency to defend our own people even when they are clearly wrong.

Of course, historical injustices, slavery, colonialism, and systemic disadvantages have played significant roles in shaping our present circumstances. But we must also be honest enough to examine our own choices, leadership, values, and collective attitudes.

We cannot keep blaming external forces for everything while refusing to confront the problems within our own societies. Until we develop a culture of accountability, integrity, discipline, and genuine commitment to collective progress, we will continue to struggle to achieve the transformation we desire.
you are absolutely right bro I give you 98/100score, you are person with lots of rational reasoning,when we reach heaven only God knows why we are like this, happy Sunday

Some few weeks ago i suffered from back pain, i thought it was something small until it turned severe that i could barely standup from the bed, it got so bad that all my joints were seriously aching from morning till night, that was when i realized that health is surely wealth. Got to know it was due to bad mattress i had been sleeping on and i have changed it, but the trauma, the challenges still haunts me. Nothing beats good health ooooo.. E get how you go sick reach, you fit dey pray for quick death embarassed

No mind dem, na dem know wetin dey keel dem... Oyibo people have been working night shifts before dem born us africans, suddenlly na we dey call oyibo lazy becaus we tink say na we get power pass dem..

Nonsense! Plenty over weight african women/men in the UK dem no dey do exercise na to just eat, eat, eat, drink sugary drinks and eat more, sleep and go work night shifts, some of them are always driving to work thinking it's luxury because dem fit buy car on finance, Some Oyibo pesin go park New Range Rover for garrage and walk to work sometimes.

Some are hooked on finance cars, not realising that cars are liabilities, car finances, high rents, huge bills maybe mortgages. Many oyibo people no get much but they are fine our own we go dey work like say work no dey finish that day, work wey some oyibo people don do for 50 years retire na im we wan do in few months.


If they are not happy in the UK they are free to come back to their own contiri. Simple!
Simple!
Some people go just take yeye thread title to catch cruise and spread false information. Many yahoo-yahoo Nigerians not used to earning decent income and living within their means will work hard without working smart and others with lack of understanding and without knowledge of facts will be spreading misinformation.

Learn to work hard while working SMARTER.🍷If you can’t make it where you have labor laws to protect you, then you are doomed. Not everyone is cut out for “business “.
