Some folks think the Biafran cause is advanced the more they see news of Kanu and IPOB in western media. Wakey wakey.... International publicity of 'Biafra' means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It is even an indicator of worse to come for the South East, in terms of insecurity, if care is not taken. This was exactly the same way 'Biafra' was publicised in the western media in the 1960s. Ojukwu was the toast of the world media, giving interviews to major western news networks. Prominent Igbos like Chinua Achebe went abroad to play influencer roles as per Biafra. In the end, what happened? Biafra was crushed. There is nothing to suggest that the support the world gave for One Nigeria against Biafra back then, will be any different this time. Until you people understand that the world does not want NIGERIA to be dismantled, you will keep wasting your time in conflict. Forget oyinbos for a minute. The entire black world, including America's powerful Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People), Black Lives Matter, et al, ALL lobby the US govt to ensure the stability of Nigeria, which is regarded by the global black intelligentsia as Africa's and the black man's ONLY hope for a future black superpower on the Earth. They, as well as international investors, are well aware that Nigeria is projected to become the 3rd most populous nation on Earth after India and China by 2050, making it a veritable world power and a world investment and industrialisation magnet of the first order. Major international companies are already conducting multi-million dollar research on how to thrive in the Nigerian market in coming decades. Indigenous businesses here in Nigeria do NOT want a breakup of Nigeria. Because they KNOW that that will cut their market. Today they have free access to a market of 210 million people, which a splintering of Nigeria will reduce to 30 to 40 million, if they're lucky. So why will they support breakup? Go to INNOSON and suggest to him that Nigeria should break up. He will chase you out of his office. Same as any manufacturer in Nnewi or Onitsha, or Awka. Or go and say it to Chief Allen Onyema, CEO of Air Peace, West Africa's biggest airline, which is now competing with Ethiopian Airlines. Air Peace became West Africa's biggest airline just by operating within Nigeria. Now they're expanding to Europe, Jamaica, India, Australia, America, based on profits they made by operating within the Nigerian airspace. I mean, come on. What are we talking about? The money men and businessmen of Igboland are 100% aware that their prosperity and continued business expansion are directly tied to their free, steady, uninterrupted access to the Nigerian market. And they know that such access is only guaranteed by the South East remaining part and parcel of the Nigerian family. So the stakes are too high, both locally and internationally. Money makes the world go round. Money talks and bullshit walks. Nigeria is going nowhere, and there will be no Biafra, unless via some sort of Divine Intervention. ..............[img]https://media./images/352a64818fc74fc7a0f006a367b4e124/tenor.gif[/img] . . . |

Adeolajude:Shut up, you dunce. Nigeria then was a feeding tap to the British treasury, which, in case your dumb head doesn't realise, was the whole reason for colonialism in the first place - to LOOT your resources and enrich the colonist's homeland. That is why at the time this picture was taken, there wasn't a single university or power plant in Nigeria, despite the British having ruled for half a century, while extracting and exporting your resources. It was why literacy was under 10% (compared to 70% today courtesy of black rule and investment in public education.). So your ''relevance'' then was as a slave nation feeding Britain and nothing else. Mumu generation. Don't go and learn your history. |
Christistruth00:Is your imported bible not filled with curses, mass murder and killings? Dumbo. Colomentalized dullards typing rubbish from their anus. |
ibedun:Actually, you brainless donkey, Africans have known the Supreme Being for thousands of years before white people even existed. TUFIAKWA THIS GENERATION OF YOUNG NIGERIANS. YOUR IGNORANCE STINKS TO HUGE HEAVENS. YOU JUST KNOW NOTHING. |
preshyusufu:So you consider the artefacts of your ancestors to be demonic? You are the very epitome of colonial brainwashing. You are truly disgusting. |
omoharry:You are the very epitome of ignorance, colonial miseducation, self-hatred and stupidity. You are an utter disgrace to whoever gave birth to you, and I sincerely hope you don't infect your offspring with your poisonous, disguting self hatred and inferiority complex. Rwanda, Ghana, Botswana, Tanzania, Angola, Kenya, Senegal, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, and Jamaica are all fully black nations and are all doing well with fast growing economies. You've travelled to not ONE of those countries, guaranteed, but you've already formulated in your little dumb head that only countries with other races included with the blacks do well. As for the other vomit you typed regarding ''Put [blacks] all in one place without mixing them any race then you will see how they will denigrate that place without any development.'' Explain THIS: Benin Empire report by the UK Guardian newspaper: ''With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’.'' ''The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops”.'' Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours.. to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”. Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace. When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world. In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.” In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”. African fractals Benin City’s planning and design was done according to careful rules of symmetry, proportionality and repetition now known as fractal design. The mathematician Ron Eglash, author of African Fractals – which examines the patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa – notes that the city and its surrounding villages were purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with similar shapes repeated in the rooms of each house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village in mathematically predictable patterns. As he puts it: “When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet.” At the centre of the city stood the king’s court, from which extended 30 very straight, broad streets, each about 120-ft wide. These main streets, which ran at right angles to each other, had underground drainage made of a sunken impluvium with an outlet to carry away storm water. Many narrower side and intersecting streets extended off them. In the middle of the streets were turf on which animals fed. “Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,” writes the 17th-century Dutch visitor Olfert Dapper. “Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.” Dapper adds that wealthy residents kept these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”. What impressed the first visiting Europeans most was the wealth, artistic beauty and magnificence of the city. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace |
XXXXTENTACION:Are you aware that, in addition to the trains we have now, there is also a huge train manufacturing plant under construction in Kajola, Ogun State, by the same company CCECC, which is set to employ 5,000 Nigerians on completion, and build train coaches for the NRC and even export to other African countries? https://allafrica.com/stories/201911100092.html So we are not just importing trains. We are building capacity to produce them. How will you know this when all you breathe is negativity? Many of you are just pathetic. |
Gsentme:Things were not good during colonialism, you ignoramus. A footpath led to your village, not a road, and everyone in your family was an illiterate peasant. Be thankful for independence which brought you to your current level. |
Minjim:Don't mind the tribalist, primitive spear-chucking dullard. |

capitalzero:Look, my friend, this is not the thread to discuss anthropology. It is indeed arguable that race is a social construct devoid of real scientific demarcation of humans. But such thoughts are merely tangential to the topic at hand. Nobody is saying that blacks are a biologically superior race and whites inferior. We are simply saying ''This is what happened in history, and we oughtta know about it.'' Finish. |
capitalzero:Can somebody please explain what this one is talking about? Go to Alabama and tell them there is nothing like black and white and see how fast they string you up to a tree and burn your black behind. When it is time for you people to kiss oyibo ass, praise them night and day, bleach your skins, form accent to sound white, you don't say ''there is no black and white'''. Only when we showcase black excellence you remember ''there is no black and white''. Rubbish. Oh, and if ''Asians, Red Indians, and Arabs were described as blacks'', it is because they WERE blacks. Originally. Even the first Europeans were blacks, from Africa. No one described ANY the above as 'blacks' AFTER they had turned to their current complexions. |
Miracood2:I think you should be asking that question to those who changed the colours. ![]() |
Aconomist:Your prostitute, whorish mother is the one you call a 'monkey', you demon shiitface from hell.. GET LOST FROM HERE, repulsive little maggot.. You have been reported and should be banned permanently from this site. |
Top 10 Mega Projects Going On In Nigeria - Vid Total project costs: 100 billion dollars (app) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8vvV5IBY6E |
Aconomist:The reasoning of a beastly mind. If you had a working brain, you'd realise that a dog eat dog world without moral restraints will ultimately lead to the extinction of the human race. Even now we are on the precipice, with the people you worship having built enough nuclear warheads to destroy all life on Earth many times over. All that is needed to set it alight is a slight quarrel between the 'superpowers' and you, Aconomist, will be fried quicker than you can say ''yes white massa''. |
justtoodark:How I wish that Nigerians, instead of travelling to London and Dubai to be treated like dirt, would open their eyes to the beauty of their own continent, and visit: Luanda, Angola https://urbannext.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/005-4.jpg Nairobi, Kenya https://fulltimeadventurer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/54aefe53be665a62888d8a0ab5df4b11-1.jpg Or Maputo, the beautiful capital of Mozambique: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/47/40/1a/47401ad4ede65c5a8bfff09dba157a86.jpg |
justtoodark:Impossible. Africans are on the rise. These ones like Aconomist are just the dregs of society. Don't be too bothered by them. They are increasingly irrelevant as the continent moves from strength to strength. |
Aconomist:We hate you too, so kindly get lost from Nairaland. |
justtoodark:Abi o, my brotha. This was the type that used to show the whites how to kidnap the king so they could tell his village subjects to produce 100 slaves for the white ship on the coast, in ransom. |
Aconomist:Oh lawd... here we go again with more excuses from the ''black is evil'' brigade. This thread is about LIVING STANDARDS, not about who 'owns' what. Those companies pay corporate tax, boost economic activities, and create employment, which is all THE Jamaican govt needs from them. There are numerous Jamaican-owned resorts and hotels in Jamaica, albeit smaller-sized than the Hiltons, Sandals, and other multinational resorts. The overwhelming majority of ''common provisions shops'' and restaurants are owned by JAMAICANS. Jamaica has just 3 million people with only a few resources like bananas, bauxite and cannabis. They did the RIGHT thing in building up their country's infrastructure to attract foreign investment, and now you're blaming them for getting foreign investment, something EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH except maybe North Korea and Cuba, craves. Only heaven will save you people from your self-hatred. |
Idiko1:You are a crooked nitwit and a dumbass Uncle Tom. You made a claim. DEFEND your claim or get lost. Crook. Even the whites you worship like a cursed slave would discriminate against you and kick your butt the minute they can. |
heniford2:If you pay me 5,000 dollars, I promise to understand 5% of what you just typed. You can't even express yourself properly, yet you are criticising ''black man''. Shouldn't you start first by sorting out yourself? |
Idiko1:So you have NO grand ''products in world demand'' from New Zealand or Australia to show? Right. Run along now, little boy.... Go back under the rock of self-imposed inferiority and insignificance from which you crawled out of. Pathetic little twit. |
Idiko1:So TELL US the fantastic products in world demand developed by New Zealand, Australia, UAE and Poland!!! Don't just SAY they have them. TELL US about them. And you really have no clue what a ''product''' is, little boy typing rubbish. The reggae music of Jamaica popularised by Bob Marley IS a ''product'' and a unique selling point for that country. Millions of people from around the world visit his house in Kingston yearly, and that brings in billions of dollars to Jamaican coffers each year. |
Idiko1:Err...actually yes it is. Because those resorts and hotels contribute to employment and GDP growth, which is why Jamaicans have a higher living standard than Indonesians, and are roughly equal to China on the UN HDI list. |
Idiko1:Nonsensical reasoning. Development is about PEOPLE and LIVING STANDARDS, not ''products''. If you are going to measure countries by their ''claiming a product from field to market which is a major stay in the world economy'', then you will have to leave out a truckload of developed nations, from Australia and New Zealand to Austria, to Italy, Spain, Russia, Canada, Poland, UAE, among others. Only a tiny handful of nations like the USA, UK, Germany, France, and Japan, can be said to have genuinely unique products that are in global demand. |
motymop:Those are genuine resorts you dumb, ill-exposed illiterate. The pictures below are of America and Europe, so what is your point? Every country has poor areas and poor folk. Ode.
