companies build commodity markets not govt, if people in those respective countries were enterprising and understood world trade, they would have created commodity trading companies that will compete with the west, the western companies saw that the people were naive and had an advantage over them.

Pan africanism is old school and does not work again, pan africanism only works on paper, just because we have almost similar ancestors does not mean we are the same.

As i have said earlier we are different, do you think if Cameroonians all start living in ivory coast and start taking all the jobs just because of the spirit of unity, do you think, your people will be happy?

lets be realistic, let each African countries fight for their own, self interest is more important than pan africanism. pls i dont want to lose my identity.

Most of africa is in mess, leaders stealing resources, so you think, when they join hands and create the bank, they wont steal everything and sell the citizens as slaves, lets be realistic here.

that's not true my friend Ghana has done it all we have had coups, revolution, democracy and we can all see that the only hope is panafricanism none of us can make it on our own no matter how hard we try. If one country is to make headway the rest of us would drown them by moving there in large numbers, the best is for all of us to move together to have a plan every african government is sticking to to develop the continent. African have never been free politically we are but economicaly we are not, who is drilling your oil? The west only passed us on to their companies at the end of the day they are still benefiting from us and we are loosing. The Japanese and co where able to beat the system in order to develop the question how do we as Africans beat the system? The question always takes us back to panafricanism. Do you know that French colonies still pay colonial tax to France? How can a nigerian farmer compete with a farmer from the west? They get loans because they have a huge market of which you and I are part because whenever they give our government loans they add conditions that is aimed at taking your market. I heard you tried banning some items in nigerian and Benin is smuggling them into the country, if all of africa had banned those item who will be smuggling it into your country? That's what panafricanism is about not necessarily you moving into my country.

nigerians are one of the most stupid people i ever met in my life

Potch:


Nigerians are smart but are being led by dull people. From the presidency to the National Assembly, majority are secondary school cert holders. Most smartest people in my set are now in the USA and Canada.

Please Nigerians are dumb.

What flows in this country is negative energy.

Smart people are creative and innovative

Nigerians are lazy and lack common sense

pocohantas:
What Nigerians call smartness, would most times turn out to be total disresgard for the next person, basic etiquette, moral values, laws or rules and regulations.

A Nigerian will drive one way, get to the front- return to the correct lane and feel like a sharp guy.

A Nigerian will jump the queue, luckily they get attended to by whoever after dropping N200. They come back to you that is standing on the queue like a sane human being and tell you that you are not STREET SMART. So, you fit sleep here today o...Truly you might sleep there.


Na this kind smartness we dey exhibit most times. Majority of us are guilty of one or more. Not our fault sha, it is the kind of smartness you need to survive in a third world country, where everything-including the government is working against you.

The people that are BOOK SMART (we call them efiko and even demonise them), we stereotype them as clumsy and timid- NOT STREET SMART. The ones going about their businesses jejely are not left out from the above stereotype.

That is why when we go to countries where normal humans are, we complain it is slow, boring...etc. We have to relearn to live, because we have only been existing/surviving in the jungle we hopped on the plane from.

Like I always say, Trust, integrity, empathy amongst others which obviously MOST Nigerians/Africans are lacking is a big index of developed countries.

Social attitudes impact economic development and productivity.

Africans are not ready.

we can change all these let us demand for full electronic voting system so we can start electing leaders no agberos and tribalists hijacking governance by force and call it election. Start protesting now. we need pure electronic voting system.

SenecaTheYonger:


It's not that there are no smart people in Nigeria. People always loose their shiit when they see that figure. There are people in Nigeria with 100 and above IQ, but the amount of dumb sub 60 IQ Nigerians will drive the average down to 65. Because there are 4 times more dumb Nigerians than there are intellligent Nigerians.

Understood. However, the average IQ of Nigerians is 84.

ednut1 post=8285 hi6658:
you clearly are not smart. This is my last comment here. I work in the oil and gas sector let me school you small.

1- exon, shell chevron help us drill crude/gas and also steal from it. Their refineries also convert it with crude along with indian refineries ( our refineries were from the french and are dead now). There is no oil in netherland but shell from the same country brings in billions from overseas

2- as we no get light we have to use generators from perkins(UK) and some asians ones- if we had light is there any market for those guys

3- cocoa from west africa is converted into billions of chocolate in the west and asia( if we had chocolate companies here would it benefit west?)

4. All the other things we import nko Does it not benefit them

Be smart bro. U say our leaders shud be smart. So our reps and senators shud make laws that will favour all of us So their 33m salary becomes 2m and the 5.5 billion car doesn't see the light of day. U dull sha

I hate it when people blame everyone else but themselves.

Nigeria is home to the world's largest concentration of dumbest people who think they are smart.

If Nigeria was a serious country, NNPC should be managing Nigeria's oil and gas industry - both upstream and downstream.

It would not have to go into JV partnership with any IOCs. Nigeria is so useless that it cannot manage its biggest industry, oil and gas. How do CNPC and Saudi Aramco run their oil and gas industry?

This country is so annoying that it deserves to be shut down and recolonized!

Well that's an improvement from last year. Must be because of all the cyber crime we've been involved in. Can't pull off that many with an avg. IQ of 65

Honestly if you are doing well for yourself, you wouldn't have time to create a stupid thread like this based on useless and fruitless argument and if you are also smart enough you would know that the smart Nigerians who should answer this are still out there making more money and doing great for themselves.

Here is a question for you to answer
1. Please just name one Country that is doing great without Good leadership.
If you can't why leave bad governance out of the Question

Some of you who claimed to have traveled abroad and have seen the almighty brilliant whites, you should know that their Govt. policies have played a major roles in the lives of it's citizens. Most whites you see doing well for themselves are based on the policies their Govt. has put in place for them to excel and if those policies doesn't exist people like mark, bill gates wouldn't attain much success as they did today. Nigerians migrate from the country because their Government is not working and they move to favorable environment that promote their skills/business. Some of them that came back to fought against the Nigerian Government and they either end up dead or their lives being threaten by the same politicians/govt...

Nigeria is a contract between the North and the whites the earlier we realize this the better for us and our votes never counts even Buhari knows he wouldn't lose the election.

I don't have time to argue wither Nigerians are smart, cunny or criminal minded because we all have our individual differences and upbringing.

Blackvic1:
none my brother and the problem is with blacks alone not just nigeria some people will argue South Africa but boom the white Dutch were very smart the South Africans were fighting for independence they seeded the political power to them but still held on to the economic power...check all the companies in South Africa the electricity mining sports ownership everything in South African economically are still owned by the whites real estate tall rising buildings...

Even the big south African companies in Nigeria such as stanbic ibtc, church gate MTN and others are own by the white

thebosstrevor:


Many Nigerians like you are highly never objective in anything but beat their chest all over africa and the west that they are better, they call african-american akata and imagine why african-americans cant use the american dream but to forget to say that African-americans have a spending power that is more than the whole Africa, even they wonder why Nigerians have to immigrate from their country but cant develop theirs but then again Nigerians say they are smart, they can turn everything into gold but cant turn their country into Gold. what an irony.

As for you Mr, you had a convo with someone here on the travel section, you wrote that you are a financial analyst and an accountant, today,you work in the Oil and gas sector, why are you Nigerians lairs

With all the rants you wrote, if you were so smart with the outdated stuff you have written, you would have known that No foreign country can take another country resources without a contract

-For your info, not only exxon and shell play in the Nigeria oil sector, there are also Nigerian Players in that sector

-exxon and shell, do not steal Nigeria oil but are in profit sharing agreement with the Govt of Nigeria, i think it is the ratio of 60:40

-Nigerians destroy their refineries not the west, i guess most Nigerians do not know about maintenance. when you maintain, it last.

the west didnt come and steal the cocoa, there is an agreement, the west are expert in turning raw materials into finished goods, is it the job of the west to provide factories for cocoa in Africa or the the job of Africans to provide factories to process their raw materials

According to the Nigerians, all problem of Nigeria is an external one, man, we live in 2019 were countries decide their own fate, colonialism was 60-100 years gone but in 2019, A Nigerian is still blaming the west for its internal problems, what a disgrace.

Pls get educated.

Forget that guy. He thinks he knows alot but he's drowning in ignorance n proud thing.

tundeb303:




The Problem is that our current social and political climate did not come to be by external forces, or by paranormal superimposition. We created it, Nigerians did. But we blame government? But government came to be due to the citenzry, we blame the system? We created the system. So it is an infintely expanding chain of blame games. It is high time Nigeria took the blame, which is, there are more stupid and blind people in Nigeria then there are smart persons. And demcoracy even makes things, worse. Wrong choices willgo on overulinng right choices. So its a game of Numbers. And the stupid wins here.

Actually the British created this system. We are a fundamentally divided nation and always will be. We were brought together against our will, and are kept together by partisan interests. How do you expect patriotism and good stewardship from our leaders?

I will forever remember the late gani fawehimi, he fought for Nigerians till death

so according to you, if an individual is doing well, he wont have time to ask questions because he is busy making money

you just another ignorant Nigerian who is never objective in thinking, always emotional. get a life man.

KingAzubuike:

Nigerians aren't smart at all bro... Don't be carried away by all those false blog news that a Nigerian went to UK and became the best graduating student. I've travelled to at least 10 countries.. it's a different world out there.. those guys are intelligent... I mean the whites.. they are so fucking intelligent..

Why false? U saying it doesn't happen?

That's what panafricanism is about not necessarily you moving into my country.

so no African country can make it on their own except through pan africanism, sorry miss, this is 2019, Pan-africanism is a simple way for the west and other countries to put africans into one basket so that they can pillage africa in unity.

Many African countries are in mess, so it is pan africanism that will save them? i laugh in french.

for 2 years you didnt have a job, ordinary clearing job they gave you, you almost shit on your pants

the funniest thing about you is that you are broke, you dont have a full time job, you are from a poor family, i am sure you might be depending on your sister but then again you also have a faulty brain to call another person jobless when today is Saturday

if you were sincere with yourself, between me and you, who need a job the most.

a very good example of chest beating...so making money stops one from commenting on a forum? Typical African mentality , go to foreign forums like twitter and quora or Reddit and see successful whites discussing and commenting and they don’t chest beat on been successful ,this is a common problems facing us and discussing or commenting about it means you are not successful ? I am highly disappointed in you for saying all that rubbish And btw it’s weekend except you work on weekends ogam whites are brilliant and smarter than us...all this books you are reading and even the school you go to who invented it remove the whites from the equation the whole of Africa would have still been in darkness by now even the so called great doctors that Africans have produced still depended on White invented books and names to excel believe it or not blacks have a high amount of dumb people ... whites have function government because they are smart enough to set it up for the northerners to be governing us says a lot about our level of IQ

i am so dissapointed in the comments on this thread,gosh many people here have terrible low self esteem and inferiority complex,they are also evil,making dooming pronouncement and curses on nigeria and the black race,all i know is that Nigeria will be great and the black race will be great

Politically, Nigerians are the dumbest set of people in the world. They don't know their rights to good governance, all they do is support some stupid old men who have ruled Nigeria before without any meaningful impact. 5 Years gone Buhari is still blaming everyone but himself, yet he has no clear cut vision to better the lots of this Country. Do we even have long term vision for this Country just like China and Dubai does for their Nation?
