I'm glad someone brought this up. I've been wondering if anyone on Nairaland even thought deeply at the state of not just Africa, but EVERY Black Country in the world.

First I'd like to start off with the small yet very familiar analogy of the Iceland scenario. White people used to joke around with this but in reality it’s a painful truth. It goes something like this:

Example 1. Imagine that everyone from Iceland and everyone on the Island of Haiti traded places. Haiti would be turned into a tropical paradise within a decade, while the blacks in Iceland would freeze to death. It seemed like a sad joke at the time, but looking at South Africa, I am beginning to feel more hopelessness at the state of the "black" mindset and situation.

Example 2. If in North America there was some kind of imaginary hypothetical rapture where all the people in the country disappeared, EVERYONE but blacks. Mexicans, Whites, Asians, Indians, etc, all, gone, just black Americans and African Americans left. Power, water, sanitation, basic services such as garbage collection, let alone taxation and the maintenance military equipment. Sad joke?

I thought it was until the power outages in South Africa that began last summer. The country is HAVING POWER OUTAGES!!!!! It’s starting. The sad decline towards it becoming another sub Saharan African country.

If South Africa turns into another pitch black at night African country I believe we may have no-one to vouch for us next time someone decides to invade our homelands.

gadogado: I have noticed in the media and other readings that south africa is retrogressing fast.the crime rate is sky rocketing,the health crises is bad and worsening (HIV) and now there is endemic corruption from the leadership all the way down. In short,the country is going down the drain,in the last 10 years 1/5th of the white population has left the country seeking greener pastures in new zealand,australia,canada and europe and even dubai.The country's economic situation is worsening. Why is this? there are now power cuts and water shortages in most parts of SA

A discussion i had with a friend implied that its because the country has a black leadership.So, do you think that there is something in the mind of a black man that cannot allow him to develop?
Is there some sort of curse on Africans that suggest that one cannot enjoy something as simple as electricity (the dark continent jk ) provided this country is headed by black men? in short,why do we suffer backwardness in africa?

sinako: which african country ever goes forward, why do you expect anything different from South Africa.
One should always be prepared in Africa, it might just go on fire like a joke,same like Zimbabwe

You're talking 1000% garbage while displaying a pathetic and shameful inferiority complex.

Here's a few lessons to cure your mental illness.

1) Under apartheid, the townships for the most part HAD NO ELECTRICITY. As in there weren't connected to the national grid. Same applied to the numerous rural bantustans into which the black majority were herded. This is what the whites you worship will never tell you. In fact today power distribution has become democratised in South Africa, which is WHAT has led to power rationing. So which is better? Constant power for the 5% white minority under apartheid and near zero power for the black majority, OR 85% power availability for EVERYONE as obtains today? Of course SA is a developing country, so 24/7 power for all is an ideal being worked towards, not something that ought to be there, because it NEVER WAS there.

SEE, F0LKS LIKE YOU NEED TO USE YOUR BRAINS, RESEARCH THINGS, AND GET RID OF YOUR stup.id and ignorant ''BLACK IS BAD, WHITE IS GOOD'' COMPLEX.

2)As for Haiti, THAT COUNTRY would be a paradise on earth today if she did not have to pay 80% of her annual national earnings to FRANCE since independence in the 1800s right up till the 1960s -or risk ''annihilation'' by the allies- as payback for denying France her 'property' owing to her declaration of independence from the latter. Not to mention the numerous US military interventions to remove populist, elected leaders like Aristide, and impose pro-US dictators on that land.

ARISTIDE BANNED THE IMPORTATION OF US RICE, saying that Haiti, once a net exporter of rice and other staples, HAD NO BUSINESS IMPORTING US RICE, and impoverishing her own farmers. Shortly thereafter he was removed in a coup led by US marines. (CNN never told you all this in their 'heart wrenching' reports on Haiti did they?)

This from the UK's Guardian Newspaper:


America's subversion of Haiti's democracy continues

Even though former President Aristide has eschewed politics since his return from exile, the US is still threatening him.

When the "international community" blames Haiti for its political troubles, the underlying concept is usually that Haitians are not ready for democracy. But it is Washington that is not ready for democracy in Haiti.
Haitians have been ready for democracy for many decades. They were ready when they got massacred at polling stations, trying to vote in 1987, after the fall of the murderous Duvalier dictatorship. They were ready again in 1990, when they voted by a two-thirds majority for the leftist Catholic priest Jean-Bertrand Aristide, only to see him overthrown seven months later in a military coup. The coup was later found to have been organized by people paid by the United States Central Intelligence Agency.

SEE, IF THE USA AND FRANCE DID THE SAME THING TO WHITE ICELANDERS, THEY WOULD SUFFER AS WELL, SO IT'S NOT A SKIN COLOUR THING, MUCH AS THEY HAVE DECEIVED YOU INTO THINKING.

Rossikk:

What do you have in that brain of yours apart from rubbish fed you by the BBC? ZIMBABWE today is MILES BETTER than it was before Mugabe decided to end the minority white ownership of all national resources. TODAY the average Zimbabwean owns a stake in his country and is no longer a peasant on his ancestral land. Meanwhile the racist whites who fled during the land redistribution programme are now making their way back to a renewed, more equitable Zimbabwe. Thankfully, the Zimbabwe govt is giving them a tough time as per visa. And long may that continue. Thankfully, Zimbabweans do not think and act like slaves the way you do.

I have noticed in the media and other readings that south africa is retrogressing fast.the crime rate is sky rocketing,the health crises is bad and worsening (HIV) and now there is endemic corruption from the leadership all the way down. In short,the country is going down the drain,in the last 10 years 1/5th of the white population has left the country seeking greener pastures in new zealand,australia,canada and europe and even dubai.The country's economic situation is worsening. Why is this? there are now power cuts and water shortages in most parts of SA

A discussion i had with a friend implied that its because the country has a black leadership.So, do you think that there is something in the mind of a black man that cannot allow him to develop?
Is there some sort of curse on Africans that suggest that one cannot enjoy something as simple as electricity (the dark continent jk ) provided this country is headed by black men? in short,why do we suffer backwardness in africa?

Rossikk:
fleep or whatever u call yourself, why not return to your nasty neo nazi forum where you really come from, instead of pretending to be one of us, and posting bogus, racist garbage? And stick something in your mum's stinking puss.y to clean it out on your way out, will you?

Rossikk:
Nasty, ignorant dunce. South Africa's economy has quadrupled in size since the start of black rule, showing competent leadership, and the lives of countless millions of blacks have been improved. Also, 6 of the world's 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa, with the continent's middle class the fastest expanding on earth. This puts a lie to your racist, anti-black nonsense. If you cannot contribute to the African renaissance, at least do us all a favour and shut your nasty trap.

Fanirandele:
because the difference between the rich and poor is far too much, as long as that keeps up crime , HIV e.t.c will keep rising unfortunantely

LOAD OF ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. SOUTH AFRICA HAS PROGRESSED RAPIDLY SINCE THE END OF APARTHEID. EDUCATION AND SOCIAL SERVICES FOR THE MAJORITY HAS EXPANDED, INCOME PER CAPITA AS WELL AS GDP IS FAR HIGHER, AND THERE ARE FAR MORE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO THE MAJORITY THAN EXISTED UNDER APARTHEID. ANYONE TELLING YOU OTHERWISE IS EITHER DELUDED OR A STINKING RACIST. UNDER APARTHEID THE BLACK MAJORITY WERE FORCED TO LIVE IN GHETTOS LIKE SOWETO. TODAY, BLACKS LIVE EVERYWHERE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND ARE ABLE TO START ALL SORTS OF BUSINESSES, MOST OF WHICH ARE THRIVING. THE BLACK MIDDLE CLASS - NON-EXISTENT UNDER APARTHEID - IS NOW WELL ESTABLISHED AND GROWING. THAT ALONE SHOULD TELL ANYONE WITH A BRAIN THAT THINGS HAVE DRASTICALLY IMPROVED FOR THE BETTER IN SOUTH AFRICA, UNDER BLACK LEADERSHIP.

Mpele:
RSA! Just leave these people, most of them are so jealous of South Africa. They have this obssession with us. Just leave them to rant & rant & rant. They so wish that South Africa could become like Nigeria, where everything is a mess. Right now as I'm posting, I'm sitting with a Liberian student. When he so this,he just rolled down on the floor with laughter. He was actually telling me that that's how these people are.
They're so negative of everything, they hate their government and they hate themselves. I'm one of the South Africans who actually acknowledged the fact that yes we have challenges, especially AIDS and Crime. Only a fool will laugh to people who have AIDS, because even successful countries like India are struggling with the AIDS pandemic. It seems as if in Nigeria not a single person have AIDS.
When coming to crime, i don't know. I've never been a victim of crime since I was born in this country. Crime is there but mainly people who hate this country are the ones who dwell on it.
I wonder if this country is sooo bad in the eyes of Nigerians, then why do we have over a half a million Nigerians in this country refusing to home.

After the xenophobic attacks many foreigners refused to go home.
I'm proud of myself, because regardless of the problems we have in this country, I remain proudly South African and I will jealously guard this country with my life. I don't give f#$%%% what some Nigerian says about Mzansi Africa. Our only crime in this continent is that we have things that they don't have. Beautiful malls, beaches, first class infrastructure and we don't have to board a plane to enjoy finner things in life.

The fact that who developed this country, is a non issue, even whites don't talk about that, its only Nigerians who rant about it. Whether whites or Indians developed South Africa or what, the fact is the country is developed and our black government continue to develop it. WHO CARES. LIVE WITH THAT.

morpheus24:


First you say we are jealous of you and can't stop talking about you. Notice how most of the topics on South Africa are either brought up by you numskulls or by some "Mugu" SA girl whose Nigerian boyfriend dumped her.

I gurantee you, If you, Angelheart, Luaranette and RSA vamus from this forum no one will be talking about SA for a long time coming we have other issues to attend to. Just try it and see.

The liberian guy is lauging with you but when The RUF and Taylors hoodlums come back, he knows who his country will call first to come help, plus he knows your ass is xenophobic so is simply try to apease you. Guy,You no know wetin dey happen!

The statistic reads 1 out of 4 SA is either HIV postive or knows someone who is, Likewise 1 out of 4 persons in SA has been a victim of crime or knows someone who has.n Thats alarming! Llike I said you didn't go to school and are busy building those railroads and stadiums, cause if you did you would just hav to ask 4 of your friends and if one acknowledges that they have been or know someone who either has Aids or has been a victim of crime then stats are relatively accurate.

As long as you numskulls keep praising your Suncity, casinos and malls as great acheivements of modern society while you trade this for moral decadence, lesbianism, rape,xenophobia,ethnocentrism, we will continue to point out your ever growing problems.


What really erks you is that you can't go anywhere inside or Outside of your country without coming in contact with a Naija and obviously are fascinated by this phenomena. Don't worry the Banana Republic of Rainbow nations will soon see the light.
