Colonialism us a crime against humanity and one the most absurd concept used by so called WHITE to steal and kill most third world nation.

White don't developed the indigenous population, they dominate, exclude and marginalized host community wherever they settled. Look at the native American in the state, look at black South Africans in South Africa, look at aborigines in Australia, look at native Canadian etc. The so called WHITE create all these mess all over the world.

Our biggest problem is the type and quality of education we inherited from the so called white, they rule us for more than 60years and leave us in a serious mess, with no infrastructure, an artificial nation build on divide and rule etc.

Black or dark skin people are also capable of building a great nation if left alone, we can build our roads, electricity, factory etc if allowed to live in peace.

South Africa is in trouble because of apartheid which discriminated against native.
How would you feel if you are not allowed to attend the University just because you are Black/dark skin?
How would you feel when you are systematically camped in a getto, all your ancestorer land taking away from you because you are black?

South Africa black are one of the poorest group in South Africa because of white injustice.

I will take up arm to fight any white or Chinese invader that want to take over my country

NL1960:
Are the Chinese not already systematically taking over with all these infrastructure 'MOUs' we are signing with them?. Just do your 'proposed' lucrative assets sales and see the people that will buy them.

abdulwastecx:
I think we can take advantage of the rise of China. The Chinese have the money, the know how and technology. They need raw materials and market, we can use that to our advantage, we can copy or borrow their know how and technology to build our nation.

We can provide the market, cheap labor force that Chinese desire. The Chinese don't have history of colonization like the west.

That would not happen now o, I doubt it sha. When I have discussed this during beer parlour talk of the country splitting by the river Niger and Benue lines. Everybody seems to think the hausa's would be worse off, but I do not believe that. They have abundance of untapped resources and fertile ground, you saw what happened with the tomato fiasco. And you also know the SS people will say they are not Igbos

If they (Hausas) stop doing BankaDEDE, they will not be worse off. I also hear oil exists within the Chad basin, may not be in commercial quantities to warrant exploration activities. I read the Northern governors have contracted a British firm to search for Oil in the North.

So many eastern European nation are poor, Infact majority of the world population leave in abject poverty. Prosperity is not a European thing

South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and other East Asians nation has proved to us that it is possible to developed a great nation comparable to the west Europe or North America when the citizen are focus, ready and willing to sacrifice.

We are to blame for Nigeria under development and any foreign film or European expertriate is interested in taking from us.

NL1960:
They do not have the history because the colonization of the West is now past history. They will create their own. You normally see that for every infrastructure 'MOU' they sign, it is their companies that do the work. They cannot transfer their technology to you because technology is never transferred, it is normally 'stolen'. Check all their projects and see if there is any 'local' in their sensitive technology areas

Apologies to anyone that finds this offensive, but I would prefer it if the colonial masters still rule us till now. In fact if it's possible for them to rule us on request based on referendum, I would be delighted .
The presence of the whites presently in south africa is the reason they are still making progress. I don't think the blacks contribute much to their development asides from being in government.

diordaves:
Why would one build in such environment beats me. With due apologies to Hajj M: I don't just get it ! All I can say is this is just a classic case of herd mentality: Herd mentality describes how people are influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors. Examples of the herd mentality include stock market trends, home décor (property/land purchase) etc. That is making decisions based upon the actions of others, it is a widely held view that humans flock like sheep and birds, subconsciously following a minority of individuals. Research shows it takes a minority of just five per cent to influence a crowd’s direction – and that the other 95 per cent follow without realizing it. Fela called it Follow Follow mentality (Zombie). This explains why one will buy Atlantic Ocean for land just because it is Lekki......wanting to belong. I don't get it !

IronGalaxy:
well, I don't find this post offensive at all, I find it rather sad, pathetic and shortsighted. I don't know if it's Nigerian mentality or what but you guys are always so eager to shower white people with praises, like wtf? Don't you have self worth? You even throw logic out of the window. At a time where the Arabs have made Dubai a success, the Chinese are a world power, Indonesia and Singapore are also success stories, here you are screaming for re-colonisation.smh. Lemme ask you a question, why are all your short- comings as a country attributed to the Buhari administration but all South Africa's progress is not a result of the South Africa's government? Aren't those double standards? Are you saying 80 percent of black population, who also the biggest middle class aren't responsible for the progress and direction of their own country? What are black accountants, lawyers, economists, architects, etc doing if they not part and parcel of South Africa's progress? The same South African government you accuse of not doing much has been responsible for the massive infrastructure expansion post 94, building roads, dams, airports,houses schools, universities etc and it's currently building power plants. You are the type of Nigerian that touches down on South Africa and see any positivity and go back to Nigeria screaming "Oyinbo this, Oyinbo that" what of Kenya then? Since they are also doing better than you? Come on bro, I know it's makes you feel better saying such things in light of your hardships but don't mislead people

NL1960:
Nobody will think about this now. Instead we will be going about abusing each other on cyberspace. When the Chinese move in now and start making millions on a daily basis from it, we will start crying that the Chinese are carting away millions from our backyard.

Contrary to what you think it actually makes better financial sense to build in this area than some of the egbeda, agege, ikorodu, ota, alimoso etc areas better income and ROI better capital appreciation.


Also, it is too simplistic to put down to herd mentality peoples reason for choosing to live in this area. I choose to not go into it in a public forum but I have lived in both and know the difference for me and my family.

The metal fabricated stairs looks unique but not very safe from a layman's point of view.
kids and ladies with high heels may feel uncomfortable navigating on it.
The concrete stairs looks sturdy to me. It has wider steps too and looks different from the usual concrete stairs.

Good concepts here, a change to see real things rather than random google pictures. I have some questions.

# The metal one would not be as strong as the concrete one, will you have something like a rail for it or will it be open like that ?
# A friend of mine who built at cooperative villa told me he used wood to cover his steps, I told him to polish/wood stain it, and then lacquer it for a nice finish. Would you be doing the same and would you be wrapping wood on all sides, as if it were my house, I would not want to be seeing any metal.
# The concrete one, what thickness of reinforcement did you use for the spine that runs in the middle ?
# Tiles/marble would look better on that, again how about kids in the house (you know kids, they may want to take shortcut and jump down) ? Any safety measures here
# Do you also think it would have been better to lock the edges onto the wall as well on one side of the concrete steps ?

A simple google search, I found some ideas. See how some of the stairs are locked into the walls, that way if something heavy is being lifted up the stairs, I would feel more comfortable.
Also, is there a concept of using aluminium railings and glass balustrades in Nigeria ? Abi we go import that one also ? Simple tempered glass see through.

Despite the economic downturn, I still give God the glory. So I have no idea of what you mean by your hardship.
I only stated my opinion that I am entitled to, you either state yours or take a pass. I don't have shortage of self worth sir, rather excessive of it.
You don't have to take the post to seriously and personal. The whites are a very organised and developed race. It's the obvious fact. doesn't mean we don't have our own area of strength.
I've stayed in my subsequent post on the reason I feel nigeria and Africa at large is underdeveloped.
In any case, any development an organised african nation makes still depends largely on inputs of the Asians and Caucasians. Can any african country make the steam engine ships or train used as far back as the 18th century?

IronGalaxy:
I don't care who invented a toothpick, the fact that you still want to be colonised this day and age says a lot about your self worth.

gbadexy:
Do you think you are a free man in your own Land? A police man or military man would slap you and infringe on your rights an nothing would happen.
I think it is you that has self esteem issues that's why you are overly sensitive about this issue.
I could really care less who is in charge so far things get done right.
You criticize me for suggesting a colonial Rule but I bet you can't wait to travel to the white man's land to live under its rule.
Don't you think military regime was worse than colonial Rule?
To give you something to vent more about, I don't really believe the black man is ripe for democracy.
Anyways, we aren't in the politics section. I still retain the right to air my opinion but what I won't take from you is a condescending tone.
The very well off and exposed people are the most humble from my interactions on this forum and I continuously meet them regularly.
I think you need to go engage yourself somewhere else and don't bother with my self worth or lack of.
