Minus his efforts in positioning the yoruba ethnic group for political / economic goals, the bold is one thing Jagabn will always have my goodwill for..

Say what you will about him, he had no kobo outside this shores..

Jazzlite:
Modath.... Ask for his apartments in the UK before concluding .... I would have held my peace if you're not the one.....

Typical predictable reaction above from clueless NL folks blind to their own history.

So tell us why not ONE black African country was even 1/10th developed after these magical white men had governed them uninterrupted for nearly 100 years up till the 1960s?

Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Kenya etc etc were ALL underdeveloped hell holes at independence, with virtually NO universities, NO power plants, NO industries, NO major hospitals, NO dual carriageways, near 90% illiteracy (compared to 30% today), and widespread malnutrition. Despite the white rulers exporting resources worth billions of dollars, annually.

The mistake people make is that they think that a person's mere possession of white skin, IMPLIES that he will work well, and do well in government. They forget that all are governed by interests. If it is not in a person or group's perceived INTERESTS to have you develop, then they will make sure you don't develop, whatever their skin colour.

Why would a white colonial regime strive to turn you into a developed nation, and compete with its own country?

Fact is we have made far more progress as independent nations than we ever did under colonial rule. It's not even debatable.

Ask yourself why your grand, or great-grandparents were stark illiterate peasants instead of bankers and doctors. It wasn't because the colonialists couldn't afford to educate them. It was because they refused to do so, and banked the export proceeds overseas. Which of course, was the reason they colonised you in the first place - to bank your resources overseas.

Thank your stars for black rule which - imperfect as it was - saw you differently.

PLEASE SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!!! You are a useless joker not me and my dear folks! Thank! If you wish to be a slave goodluck to you and all that share you opinion If not for our worthless piece of sh!t leaders blinded with selfish....this insult wouldn't happen and folks like you wouldn't be this stupid to support the nonsense credited to that lunatic

modath:
Having an apartment in the UK is different from keeping funds & having ongoing flourishing biz offshore...

Can you compare that to Akpabio who has been alleged to own a refinery someplace or Alao Akala 's hotel in Ghana? , our system is lax enough for leaders to manipulate, least they can do is spread jobs around..

Davido, Psquare et al have homes abroad, like it is the practice of the elites..

Someone already mentioned seeing him in "west end" a couple of years ago on a such visit of mine..

Merry xmas in arrears..

SirJeffry:
Trump is just a mad man and he can only achieve his dreams in a dreamland.

We were happy before they brought their silly civilization and destabilized Africans.

Our great grand fathers never had the issues we face today such as corruption and bad leadership.

Thank God the whites are minority today in the US so he is not going nowhere near the white house.

Jazzlite:
I can only agree with you in the area of job creation and domestic investments

bobo u r a slave jor. unless u dont use internet, own a car, wear foreign cloths, n other foreign things!

TonyeBarcanista:
Reading comments from respondents makes me to shake head in disbelief. Yes, African/Nigerian leaderd are corrupt but what proactive role is the west playing to stop it? Nothing. All they do is to make their country available to receive proceeds of loots and when they are done, seize the money to shout 'anti-corruption'. They are complicit.

As for Trump, he's a ranting mad man that has no clue about public service. Africa wasn't better with the colonialists.

omenka:
Imagine the ignoramuses applauding this highly racist comment. These are same guys that would complain when they travel out and get treated like subhumans

Trump is nothing but a blabbermouth cvnt.

modath:
No just take this your position!!! Donald Trump is a crazy Arrow but doesn't diminish the point he tried to make underneath all his hot air!!

How are they supposed to stop prodigal "fathers & mothers" who are "helping" their economy? , did they coerce them

sinkhole:
I dont agree with you. India, China, Japan etc were all colonized, but where are they today? Ethiopia and Liberia were never colonized and where are they now?
Trump may be mad and "a weed smoker", but he is right on this one! He is just like our late prophet Comrade Fela Kuti!

DerideGull:
Why should any sane person describe true statements allegedly made by Donald Trump as bombshell? If actually he made this comment, it is nothing but a perfect truth. Africans are useless jokers in general and Nigerians in particular.

TonyeBarcanista:
Sometimes you have to sympathise with African people. The leaders are insane and have inferiority complex/low self esteem, and also the west are more concerned about their own interest in Africa. This interest they can't let go. The average African is helpless. He's himself ignorant but who will enlighten him? He grows into leadership and follow the disgraceful step of his predecessors.

If only the West is sincere, Africa will be better. If not...
