70 years of robbing you is not enough? Buhari or Jonathan are in power for a year and you guys start calling for their heads. But Whitey can come in and rob you for 70 years, and you call for another 70. Did the whites use jazz on you?

But the whites ruled Nigeria for 70 years and built not one university, power plant, expressway, or major hospital. Goodluck Jonathan built 12 universities in 4 years, while the Enugu state govt built more kilometres of road in 4 years than the colonialists built in Nigeria in 70 years. How much longer did you want the colonialists to stay and rob you, since you enjoy being robbed?

Truth that, took a course in my final days on the neocons and their shenanigans. The only development the colonists embarked on was constructing transport facilities towards port cities and point of exit to sites where they pillage countries resources to their countries.

True. Some Nigerians point to the railway system left by the colonialists as 'evidence' that they tried to develop the country. Meanwhile, the network was a simple north to south line built to evacuate resources from the north to the southern Atlantic coastal ports for onward shipment overseas. By contrast, Nigeria is building a proper rail system today that connects and integrates the various regions of the country.

Nigerian cities have slums and south African cities have slums.

So, what do you mean exactly, op?
proper urban planning is absent. Having stayed in Lekki for a while I shale my head when people hype the place... Yes beautiful houses. But in a place e called a hibrow settlement you still see open drainage. Port holes and traffic problems. It's just mediocrity

When y'all stop running to other devsloped countries and go back to Nigeria to develop her. Who's job is it when even your politicians hold multiple citizenships? It will happen when y'all realise you only have Nigeria as a home nowhere else. South Africans know that South Africa is their only country and are not going around the world collecting citizenships, so it has to work.

Nigerians take pride in their most brightest minds being part of development vehicles for other countries. What
good is boasting about a Nigerians doing great things in a foreign country while his/her own country is going to the dogs?

Actually it might happen when Trump starts deporting y'all and you will have no choice but go back roll your sleeves and start making Nigeria Singapore of Africa.

It starts with you!

Going abroad is not always disadvantageous!

Time to educate some folks here. The ONLY reason South Africa is more developed than the rest of black Africa is that she began her modern development long before any other African countries. Of all the black African nations under colonialism, South Africa was the ONLY country in which the colonialists RE -INVESTED export earnings in the local economy. Thus, South Africa's first universities were established as early as the 1880s by the colonialists. They built their first power stations in the 1890s. By contrast, in Nigeria etc, none of these things were built until the 1960s, after the colonialists left. The colonialists had settled SA in large numbers due to the weather etc. They saw it as a permanent settlement. So they governed responsibly. The rest of Africa they just looted. They exported resources from Nigeria, Ghana, Congo, Kenya, Zambia, Sierra Leone etc, and they reinvested next to nothing in those countries, for a hundred years plus. That's why they are so rich today. That was the reason for their colonialism in the first place. So SA has a 100 year headstart on the rest of Africa in terms of development, and in terms of experience in running a modern society. That is why we are all playing catch-up to them. But we are catching up, though it'll take some time. And they are not standing still either.

Good stuff!

I expected someone to bring this up. As a pan africanist I stand for the true emancipation of the black man. Of which the above men stood for. In my previous post I made entire of the 'average blackman'.. we still have a lot of blacks doing exceptionally well. But it's usually individually... Blacks are still yet to create an ideal system and that's what the likes of kwame nkrumah and Sankara tried to do.. And that's why they were overthrown. That the average black man may never wake up from his slumber..

Anyone that believes in the use of violence for the domination of others can`t be said to have any higher IQ. There has never been any time that the white man scores higher than Asian in the IQ department. If China should use the WTO to her advantage outwitting the people that put it in place to rob others, that is an evidence of higher IQ. When you kill leaders that are the best around, leaders that do not just know the right thing to do but know how to do it, then blame the people for not governing properly, I find that barbaric-there is nothing smart about that.

Singa

Thanks for the revelation that Singapore is in Asia, now I know since I didn`t know before. I simply gave you an example that show the stupidity of your argument that, white man that raped you for 70 years didn`t rape you long enough to have developed you. It didn`t take Singapore 50 years to move from under-developed to a developed nation. And since whites have the best brain, according to you, they should be able to do whatever non-whites can do, if not better. So 70 years should be enough to develop you.

You lack a working brain. Propagating discredited racist GARBAGE propounded by semi literate rednecks, skinheads, the Ku Klux Klan, and neo Nazis. Why not just go and post on their satanic forums instead of coming here to insult your mother and father by calling them racially inferior? If you are a black man you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself. You are essentially saying that whites are right to discriminate against blacks - against you and your offspring - in the job market and elsewhere, due to your supposed "low IQ". I mean, are you sick in the head or something?

The guy you have in quote said the honest truth, a black man want to feel equal with a white man when he knows he lacks the fundamentals of humanity. It is not Racism, it is plain honesty, for SA to get to where it is today, the whites had to lock the blacks in cages to make progress.

Ignorant dunce. Where do I start with you? Self hater. It must be such a burden waking up every day and feeling inferior. But I guess you are used to it. I only pity your kids and the debilitating mental poison you'll feed them, and they'll end up hating themselves and feeling inferior like their pathetic father. As for your ignorant question about ''successful 100% black countries", you should use your brain, and realize that Africa is a developing region. It is no shame to be in development. 80 years ago there was no "successful 100% white country". They were all developing, with mass poverty and illiteracy the order of the day, from England to Czechoslovakia. Go and read Dickens, so you can learn that these whites you worship like a stup.id slave were once among the poorest people in the world. And it took them several centuries of independence to reach their present point. When black nations have had the same time to run their affairs, THEN you can make comparisons. Not before.
