“Nigga Rich” is African economics: “Civil servants filling the posts vacated by departing colonial officials insisted on the same high salaries and perks – pensions, housing allowances and cheap loans. Government budgets soon became burdened with the huge cost of salaries, allowances and presidential expenses. Writing in 1962, the respected French agronomist Rene Dumont noted that a deputy in Gabon was paid more than a British Member of Parliament and earned in six months as much as the average peasant did in thirty- six years. He went on: ‘As for the Gabonese presidency, parliament and ministers, with all their supposedly useful trips, it probably represents, in relation to the national income of the country, more than the cost to France of the court of Louis XVI in 1788.’ Ministers in Nigeria were rewarded not only with princely salaries but rent-free, air-conditioned residences, replete with stewards, gardeners and drivers, generous car allowances, entertainment budgets, free telephone and free electricity. Senegal’s budget for 1964 showed that 47 percent of the total was allocated to civil service salaries. In the Central African Republic and in Cote d’Ivoire the figure was 58 percent; in Congo-Brazzaville, 62, percent; in Dahomey, 65 percent. A report on Zambia noted: ‘Expensive houses built for the emergent elite swallow up the bulk of urban housing investments. Thus the construction of 1,710 high- and medium- cost dwellings and 1,307 servants’ quarters absorbed 77.2 percent of the amount spent on urban housing in 1974. Another 13.4 percent went into the building of 1,266 low- cost units, 4.7 percent into 2,000 houses on serviced plots, and the remaining 4.7 percent into 9,905 houses.’ The wealth the new elite acquired was ostentatiously displayed in grand houses, luxury cars and lavish lifestyles – ‘platinum life’, it was called in Abidjan. In East Africa a new tribe appeared, cynically known as the WaBenzi, in description of rich politicians, officials and businessmen who drove about in expensive Mercedes-Benz cars. Though ministers in parliament and at public meetings still issues promises about social equality and referred sympathetically to the needs of the common man, the gap between the rich elite living in plush villas, elegant apartment buildings and town houses, and the masses surviving in slums and bidonvilles on the fringes of the towns became ever more noticeable. A study of trade figures of fourteen francophone states in 1964 showed that the amount spent on importing alcoholic drinks was six times higher than that spent on importing fertilizer. Half as much was spent on perfume and cosmetic imports as on machine tools. Almost as much went on importing petrol for privately owned cars as on the purchase of tractors; and five times as much on importing cars as on agricultural equipment.” Martin Meredith, The Fate of Africa: From the Hopes of Freedom to the Heart of Despair (New York: Public Affairs, 2005), pp.170-171. |

Sabrwahaqqo:Actually, I said that not so long ago (historically speaking) some 1000 years ago (give or take) some african societies where at par with european ones (And am not even talking of the great civilizations at Egypt and Ethiopia, think ancient Ghana, mali, songhai, kanem-Bornu, Asante, Benin etc. Look, its on record, check it: the earliest european visitors to Benin in the 16th century compared it favourably to Amsterdam in amazement of its culture, socio-political organization, andand fabrication technology. Now, there was an historical point of divergence, which I identify as the european enlightenment (when they cast off superstition, and embraced logic and science) and the subsequent industrial revolution (still ongoing) and which has even industrialised science itself in the nature of giant government and private funded research establishments. Magic and superstition is now on the average as good as cancelled when you look at the orientation of the upcoming generation...Oh yes! The old magic and superstition seems to have gone...BUT WERE ONLY REPLACED WITH THE NEW ONES OF RELIGIOUS SUPERSTITION. Please do not get me wrong - I make a very firm distinction between religion (which is indespensable to man) and RELIGIOUS SUPERSTITION, which is just the mentally lazy mindset of ascribing any complex physical or social phenomena to spiritual causes instead of logical analysis and scientific research to find a solution. You take careful look around, you will find that the malaise of the elders have not escaped most of the youth. I think it is self evident. So, I'm putting it to you that the problem wd the blackman 's land is not with the people and their believes . It's actually with the system that allows for grand cheating. Mind you the system is one designed for us by the whiteman you're telling us to copy word for word. Bro, the fact is that our 'destiny' is different and we just have to pave our own path by either changing the system totally or modifying it to suit . I choose the latterWhen you advocate changing the system, we are on the same page. The issue is how? You do not point to an actual direction. You say: 'Our destiny is different' - there we go again with the spiritual instead of logical and scientific analysis. What is destiny? If the gravity at the poles is less than at equatorial african does it nullify the law of gravity or should we study and understand the concept properly? There are general physical, sociological and political principles that have be discovered by MAN using the scientific method and these principles hold true with respect to the universe. The rest of the world uses this scientific method to understand and manipulate the world. Why not use the same method to free yourself. NOW, how to go about the clean up for the already messed up system?Earlier on you said and I quote "So, I'm putting it to you that the problem wd the blackman 's land is not with the people and their believes",Now you assert that Africa needs to believe in itself first. This is self contradictory! But if we have agreed that belief is crucial, then the next thing is the content of the belief system. And do not say belief in your self because it is too abstract and meaningless: believe in yourself as what? That you are god? Invincible, intelligent?... I suggest that Africans simply shun superstition and completely embrace the scientific method as a reliable formula for understanding the world and changing physical realities. |

blueAgent:Martin Meredith is fond of writing incomplete analysis of Africa. Those CIVIL SERVANTS were the specially trained Africans the colonial powers groomed (brainwashed) right from childhood in specially founded missionary schools, colleges, and european universities and war colleges (for military personnel) to take their place at the sham African independence as their surrogates( read achebe's there was a country' and also 'The black white man', by Adebayo), trusted to carry on their masters colonial ( now neo-colonial) agenda. These are the fake elite of African society. |

blueAgent:Blueagent, I would suggest that if your questions are honest (that is, you have not closed your mind to information contradicting your present belief) then continue with an elaborate study and research in history, political science and sociology and you will get clear answers to your questions. However if you want enlightenment from forum users, then let your debate be less dogmatic. |

I think you just hit the nail on the head with regards to this black/african inferiority complex. It is just a coping mechanism for managing personal failure. You cant find such sentiments in succesful people. Unfortunately, just as failure begets this inferiority complex, yet it too is bound to begat more failures! Its a vicous cycle. This mental disease of the op and his adherents is deadlier than the worst snake venom. If you are afflicted with this black inferiority complex, you cant do anything right. spellingcheck: |

MyFlair:Roger! There is a significant difference between religion and regious superstition. Religion is diverse but underlining every religion is that sense of wonder, feeling or reverence for the universe in all its manifestation and glory which even the most notable scientist, Einstein was quoted to have felt. "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."Religious superstition, on the other hand, is the result of the mental indolence associated with attributing of spiritual causes to most natural and social phenomenon instead of seeking understanding and solutions via logical reason and painstaking scientific research All human societies were once superstitious in their infancy. The developed world has overgrown it, but Africans are still steeped in it under the cover of religion. |

| Re: Am Now Convinced God Is A White Man And Satan An African *picture Proof* by holocron: 1:29am On Sep 12, 2015 |
blueAgent:The simple answer is YES. The present leadership is the same crop. Think about it. How long ago was independence? Was it not just 55 years ago. The generation that was groomed, are they not still in power? How old is buhari, obj, ibb? Even when they die or leave power, dont they try and handover to their biological or ideological children for continuity? Was that not the case with Eyadema of Togo? |

blueAgent:All those malaise you have listed are simply symptoms of the disease itself. Mind you, the white man is not the greatest problem the blackman has. The greatest problem is the blackman himself: his superstitious world view and unwillingness to use logic and the scientific method in the search for solutions to problems. All that being said the white threat is still a reality. Though if not for the black man's weakness, it wont be so pervasive. The western countries are very powerful as you have equally observed, and have the historic advantage - technological, military, and economic power- over the africans and other blacks. They have used this power to exert an 'undue influence' over the elite of African societies(the said elite they helped to create in the first place) by offering incentives and blackmail that is practically tantamount to coercion. Find out how Nkrumah of Ghana was unseated. Lumumba of Congo. Do you know the Taylor of liberia was a CIA agent? We are not of the opinion of black helplessness and apathy in the face of all this. We believe the blackman can wake up and begin to change this state of affair, especially now, at the dawn of this information age. The key is for the masses to gain enlightenment. If what we have type makes any sense to you, it is well and good; if not, let it be. I'll just urge you to investigate for yourself. |

blueAgent: You are such a gullible neophyte! Do you know how the bible came about that you are quoting it with such relish? You are mistaken to rely on the fable that is the Bible as words of God when man has not even been able to decipher the origins of the cosmos, quantum physics, multi or parallel universes, etc., let alone ability to quantify or qualify God! If you cannot grasp this, then you have limited analytical imagination and are held back by fear of the unknown. So you see, you don't measure up let alone able to hold water! |

Ilekeh:Some of these people did not know anything about the white people but at least they must have heard about the extermination of the red Indians in America and the aborigines in Australia, i'm just sighting these two instances just in case they thought that 300years of slavery, a 100 years of colonization and apartheid in Africa was some folk tales. |
