Google will lie and tell you that it was the American Wright brothers who invented the plane but it is a big lie. The first person in flight was Alberto Santos a Brazilian. Trains were invented by the British. Africans invented ships

Frederick Jones, a black boy invented the AC, Generator, refrigeration for trucks.

White americans hardly invent anything. They only know how to dominate google search engine so their names come out on first click

It was Europeans whom later invented most of the stuff in America. Blacks were slaves. Cotton didn’t build America.
They invented Google and the internet and almost all the inventions we utilise today along with Asians.
Ah yes who invented Google? Was it not Larry Paige and Sergey Brin who are white? 🤣🤣

That’s not a modern plane. Santos invented a bush plane. It was more of a glider. It was the wright brothers that invented an aeroplane. British people are white debunking your claim.it was ancient Egyptians and Greeks whom weren’t black that invented ships.

Shokoloko:


Who do you think provided the basic amenities in the US. It was not the white man. 80% of inventions and amenities were black made but slaves cannot own right to inventions.

My question is why are we upset that they are playing the victim card when we as Nigerians play the victim card ALL the time.

The same way we are shocked about their "laziness" is the same way that they are shocked at our stupidity of not being able to vote out bad leaders.

So when you say "African americans stand up and work" let's also remember to tell ourselves "Nigerians stand up and get rid of these corrupt people in power"

The problem of Nigeria is not the leaders. The problem of Nigeria is the people with victim mentality who will not rise and change their leaders but prefer to lament daily.

So you know, a lot of those boys and girls on crack and weed became addicted in utero (in the womb) by their addicted mother who was supplied enough crack by white people. They are also doing it to the native Indians here so you have newborns addicted already.

That isn’t even remotely true. Look at Silicon Valley, Austin and other tech areas of the US. It’s all full of Whites and Asians with some Latinos very few blacks. Silicon Valley is where most US inventions particularly in the last 50 years came from. Only 3% of Silicon Valley is Black. The overwhelming majority of inventions in the US were whites. It was the Germans, Chinese, Irish etc that built America. They were the ones that made the lion share of inventions. It’s impossible for what you’re saying to be true because A) Slaves were just picking cotton and doing farm work. They weren’t really inventing anything. B) Blacks have always been a tiny segment of the US population. They’ve always been concentrated into the southern part of the nation. They can’t build what they haven’t been through most of. America was built by various ethnicities but lion share of contributions came from whites and Asians.America has a large Hispanic population as much of its states were ruled by Spain/Mexico. Even the Hispanics contributed more to America and its innovations than the Blacks did.

You’re the kind of fool to actually believe that slavery enriched the US. It didn’t. America was a joke until after the civil war. European empires were far more powerful than the US until the late 19th century. The country’s rise is much more recent than you think. Before then, It was mostly a poor agrarian society till Europeans and Asians and later Latinos/as flooded the nation. The poorest and least developed region of the United States is the American South which is basically an advanced Eastern Europe and it’s also the blackest part of the nation. It’s the hub of black Americans and also the most dangerous and crime ridden part of the country.
Slaves weren’t picking up patents. They were picking up cotton and doing farm work. Even Freed Black Americans were still far less productive than their white counterparts.
“From 1870 to 1940, Black people living in the North were eight times more likely to be awarded a patent than Black people living in the South. White people in the North were three times more likely to invent a patented technology than white people in the South, but regional effects were weaker for white people and they were much less concentrated in the South than Black people.
In the North, Black people’s share of patents equaled their share of population. Black people accounted for 1.6% of the North’s population and 1.6% of patents across the decades studied. The rate of patenting per capita among northern Black and white residents was extremely high (0.31 per 1,000 residents for Black people and 0.39 for white people). Both of these rates exceed the U.S. rate of invention for most of the country’s history and approach the highest rates observed around the world today at the country level.2
With 50,000 total patents, Black people accounted for more inventions during this period than immigrants from every country except England and Germany. In our database, 87% of inventions were traced to people born in the United States, and 2.7% of the U.S. total were invented by Black Americans, which is a larger share than nearly every immigrant group. After accounting for patents during nondecennial years, we estimate that Black people accounted for just under 50,000 total patents during this period”
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-black-innovators-who-elevated-the-united-states-reassessing-the-golden-age-of-invention/
The Industrial Revolution of the USA was powered by whites and Asians. It was mostly whites but Asians played a significant role in it too. Most of the people in the Gilded Age which was an era of an economic expansion in the United States were from Europe
Or Asia. They were the building the country and spurring innovations.
“During the Gilded Age there were around 11.7 million people that came to America. From those 11.7 million immigrants10. 6 million of those immigrants came from Europe, which made up 90 percent of the immigration population. The Canadians made up 6.7 percent and then the Chinese made up 1.7 percent”

America as a country didn’t really start innovating till the Great Wars began. It was the influx of European immigrants in the 20th century that made the US a hotbed of innovation.

African Americans are the most useless people I've ever set my eyes on on this planet! Especially those males. Even with all opportunities they have there, they waste it and later blame the whites for their predicaments! They feel so entitled, it's so irritating! Not to talk of their horrible use of vocabulary! Some can't even read well or write! They're so impatient and violent like the typical nïggers in African countries! How can you see a male adult of about 35 years old be sagging their pants so low like a brainless môron! They don't know how terrible they look! They're a bunch of disgraceful animals! The whites see them as shit! To them they're waste product. That's why they kill them like chickens! The black race is just a disgusting useless race!

Sadly what you state is quite true. Blacks in general we have a victim mentality. It’s really strange that we blame the West for everything. It’s not to say that the west doesn’t have any influence over Africa’s situation absolutely not. But they make it seem as if Africa was a wonderland before the white man set foot on it. Pan Africanists/ Afrocentrists view any critique of Africa to be pro-western. They always seem to think that any critique of Africa is that you are “viewing it from a western lens” or “western brainwashing”. It’s ridiculous.

drlateef:




I personally believe a confederation will do us good. Because it will stop the lazy governors from thinking there’s ready made cake to bite from at the centre without doing anything in their home states. It will sour up competition. And Nigeria will find its greatness in that. But total balkanisation will only create dysfunctional nation states around prosperous ones, thereby causing cross-border security problems for prosperous nations. But when such dysfunctional regions are still part of Nigeria, the federal government can still take over the management of such states from the ineffective leaders to administer, thereby bringing peace to other contiguous regions.

One Nigeria continuing to exist will just make the people hate eachother more. How much more bloodshed do you want before accepting that Nigeria can’t work? A confederation can never do it good. Look at how well it has done for the country now. There is no unity.

drlateef:



Flat scalp republic should be excised from Nigeria. If this is done, Nigeria will be No. 3 behind India in next 20 years. They are dragging us back by a thousand years into stone age.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nigeria will never ever get to that stage. Look at the current politics of the country. The people there elected a drug barren as their president. The country also has an overpopulation crisis. Nigeria can’t even maintain its current population not to talk of 2-4 times that amount. People that still believe in One Nigeria amuse me. The country doesn’t work. It never did, never has, wasn’t meant to and never will. It was created as a business transaction. It’s a pseudo-nation. I’m not saying that Biafra will happen but as the suffering worsens. Nigeria will eventually balkanise. There is no unity in that country. Nigeria is not real. It’s just a rumour. It was rumoured to be a country.

Topman7:


Oh shut up…

So long as GDP growth rate is higher than population growth rate (and it IS), Nigeria is on course for greatness.

If you hate to hear that, go jump in a lagoon.

Your hateful parents were also predicting the ‘imminent’ demise of Nigeria 30 years ago.

So nothing new about your type.

IPOB outcasts

Delusion is Free. When has Nigeria ever functioned? Was it in the 60s,70s, 80s when shortly after independence the country had a civil war, coups after coups and more insecurity. You still believe in this scam called Nigeria? Nigeria on course for greatness? Look at the naira, look at the drug barren of a leader, high insecurity among numerous other problems. Nigeria is a failure that will soon be balkanised. The country never worked. It never did. It was never supposed to. It’s just a failed experiment of Lord Lugard.

Godsonkemz:
I told someone that living in Nigeria is better than living in UK because of high cost of rent and tax so long as you are working here in Nigeria. The only advantage is the availability of jobs.

In Nigeria you can own houses and fleet of cars but in UK it's not like that as you'd be questioned to explain how you make your wealth and if it's discovered that you've been evading tax, you're finished.

UK would turn a generous man to a stingy man in a space of time because UK mentality believes that nothing is free.

My godfather, a medical gynaecologist is an example.

Living in Nigeria better than UK?
There is no alternative reality in where what you saying is true 😂😂 No African nation can ever match up to the western world.Absolutely none. I hate it when Africans try to compare themselves to the rest of the world.
It’s called corruption. British society is millions and millions and millions of times less corrupt than Africa.

BigBashiru:


I used to think like you but now I know better. It was after I understood somethings that I got to know the truth.

Science and technology including mobile phones and computers were not invented by Europeans as they hv lied to you. Instead they were invented by a global body of researchers including Indians, Argentines, Brazilians, Nigerians, Egyptians, Iranians, Chinese, Uzbekistan. It was a global effort. Electricity is normally attributed to Faraday and Einstein. But they merely claimed it. Electricity was found in Africa and in the middle east but during European conquests they claimed it for themselves.

European savages impose their language on local populations when they win a colonial invasion war.

"Modern civilization" - define it. Don't let the western savages brainwash you. Africa is just as modern as Europe

You have to give up this victim mentality
You can’t think of a western achievement as being a western brainwash.
Wrong again- Asia had contributions to civilisation but the West was even more so.
Just look at Ancient Greece and Rome who built and developed concepts like maths, science, democracy and so on.

It was a white American called Martin Cooper who invented a mobile phone.
It was Frank Canova that invented the first smartphone.
Internet was a global effort as UK, Canada, Australia etc were involved but it was largely the US Department of Defense.

It was neither Einstein or Faraday that discovered electricity but Benjamin Franklin.

Electricity was not found in Africa. This is mega coping at this point. Africa is as modern as Europe? Africa is not even as modern as Ancient Greece or Rome. Africa is centuries behind the rest of the world in modernity. Compare life expectancy, GDP per capita, HDI and other development stats of Africa to that of the rest of the world. Africa is by far and large the poorest and least developed continent. It is largely pre industrial

Latin America is far ahead of Africa

Asia and Oceania is way way ahead of Africa

The Western world/ East Asia is just overkill and is light years ahead of Africa to such an extent that it makes Africa look like it’s literally on a different timeline compared to the rest of the world.

You call these Europeans “savages” but compare the crime rate, violence levels of Africa to Europe. The deadliest wars be it internal or external have largely been in Africa and the Middle East. Africa is more violent than the rest of the world.

You’ve proved my point by saying that
“European savages impose their language on local populations when they win a colonial invasion war”
Why did they win this invasion war? Why didn’t Africa defend itself. The Europeans kicked Africans asses. They conquered the land and divided into pieces, took slaves to the Americas and so on. You say that Africa is on par with them yet you speak their language?😂😂😂😂
If really Africa was what you say it was. They wouldn’t have allowed Europe to impose themselves. They would have repelled such an invasion. But they didn’t and you know why? Because the Africans were not a match for Europe back then and still aren’t today.

Just accept it, The West beat Africa. Africa is influenced by the West culturally and so on hence why it speaks their languages, practices their religion and so on.

BigBashiru:


Ethiopian civilization predates European civilization. Hv you ever been to Ethiopia to know its nor good? Ethiopia is a very successful country.

Now every country has a breakaway region. Nigeria is bakassi and Biafra. Canada is Quebec. United Kingdom is Northern Ireland. United States is Alaska.

Ethiopia is successful and there's nothung wrong with it. Also the best countries aren't popular.

Western media does a good job of projecting that western countries are the best in the world. They aren't.

I agree with Western promotion being a thing. They like to promote themselves as superior. But they clearly did create modern civilisation and this goes all the way back to Ancient Greece and Rome which in many ways are more sophisticated than Africa today.
You’re using a western device, western made things and even speaking a western language to communicate with me right now😂😂

BigBashiru:


No they didn't start the "Industrial Revolution" these are all lies we hv been taught. Always challenge what you hv been taught and you will be free.

There's critical thinking in Africa. Don't let the Europeans and their propaganda deceive yoi

They did start the Industrial Revolution. Whom else did?
There is little critical thinking in Africa. We are talking about a continent with more mosques and churches than schools, hospitals, universities and so on. Africans are some of the most irrational people you will ever meet.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong
You don’t have to go to a country to know if it’s successful. That’s what empirical data is there for. You dating that Ethiopia is successful without empirical evidence is a joke.

1. Ethiopia is not a successful country, it’s not a world power. Its quality of life is like other African nations. Ethiopia is not even at the standard of Ukraine.
Ethiopia HDI-0.597
Ukraine HDI- 0.77
Ukraine GDP per capita-$4,835
Ethiopia GDP per capita $925

There is a lot wrong with Ethiopia from poverty, crime, rampant corruption underdevelopment and so on. Face it, Africa doesn’t measure up to the rest of the world.

2. Do not compare the division in African countries to ones overseas. How can you compare Nigeria to USA or UK? UK is 300+ years old. US is almost 250 years old. Nigeria is only 60 yet had a civil war, coups upon coups. No one asked for Nigeria. It’s an inorganic, artificially created state. It was just some white guy (Lugard) telling tribes to live together. It was a country no one fought for. At the time, Lugard didn’t even gain a public consensus before doing amalgamation. At least with America, There was a desire for the nation to be formed. They fought a bloody war with the Brits that led to them receiving their independence. The same with the UK. They were also born out of wars, conquest etc. those nations are far more organic. They are actual nations unlike Nigeria that is a fake nation. It’s a make believe country. The tribes have always hated eachother since day 1.

With the UK, Northern Ireland will eventually leave but they already have a mechanism in place that allows for that under the Good Friday Agreement. But it ain’t happening anytime soon

With the US, You must be absolutely mad to see any of those states as a breakaway region. Don’t you remember how the US civil war ended? We will be long dead before there is any genuine threat to the US’s union. That ain’t happening in this century. It will take AT least another 100 years for something like that to happen.

Canada and Quebec situation was solved long ago, Quebec is still Canada but with much more autonomy.

But with Nigeria, There’s no way in hell that country is existing in 20 years. The people have had enough.

BigBashiru:


Contemporary europe did not birth modern civilization. Blacks hv been too critical of themselves. CCECC employs Nigerian engineers who did the actual work.

Europe did not birth any modern civilization. Don't swallow that lie. Unfortunately thatblie has spread for long and ir will take a lot of typing to convince you otherwise so no point.

The western Europeans are savages. If only you know them well.

Also such thought comes from relying on western media.

A point of fact is Nigerian culture is quite laid back which is very bad when European culture is more disciplined.

Except they did, Europe and later Asia developed the modern world.
1. They started the Industrial Revolution.
2. They pioneered industries and even till today remain highly innovative
3. It’s not relying on western media. One thing I hate that Africans tend to do is anything that criticises Africa is pro-western. Look at East Asia, They are just as modern and sophisticated as the Western world. They too made significant contributions to civilisation.
You say that

Western Civilisations are more successful than Black civilisations because whites prioritise Science and Technology. Blacks prioritise Religion and Superstition. Africans just see their life as a product not to be tampered with. They don’t want change but rather to lnanguish in poverty, despair and pain. There is also a lack of critical thinking in Africa.

BigBashiru:


Black civilisation is very successful and it was what got the European savages envious.

I agree with you that Africa is the way it is because of the people and not colonialism. That I agree.

What about Ethiopia and Liberia? They weren’t colonised by Europeans. The Ethiopians defeated the Italians. But look at where they are now. You can’t blame the white man forever.

Black civilisation was never successful. That’s why the European “savages” tore Africa to shreds.

BigBashiru:


Black success is not a myth. It's real. Europe is poor and was poor and met rich kingdoms in Africa which is why the decided to invade.

I said it was largely a myth. Contemporary Europe that birthed modern civilisation, sits as one of the largest economies in the world is far from poor. Europeans wanted Africa for its resources. But there is a reason why they beat Africa easily. Africa was and still is no match for them. Europeans built America a country that has been the strongest nation this planet has ever seen. There are no successful black civilisations out there. Please do not have the victim mentality of other blacks. Africa is the way it is because of the people and government not just colonialism.

BigBashiru:


And it's China building the rail tracks for Nigeria the Nigerians aren't even doing it themselves!

Yeah it’s ridiculous. The therapeutic history that blacks tell themselves allover the world. Black success is largely a myth. It’s not to say that there aren’t successful and highly talented black people out there. But Black Civilisations are all failures. It’s hilarious whenever I hear blacks talk about “Black Success” But they speak all of this in the language of the white man. Whites are obviously not superior. But their culture is different. There is a reason why European and Asian civilisations are the strongest, most advanced and developed in the world. It’s their work ethic, culture, history and so on.

Day169:
Nigeria's level of development in 2050 will be as good as the decisions we make as a country today.

That will never happen. The country will be divided by then.

There is random gun violence, but not nearly as bad as the US. So it's nothing to really worry about.
You're much more likely to get shot in the US than in most of LatAm. Except a few of the really violent LatAm countries, like Honduras, but people rarely visit there.

Crime in Latin America is considerably worse than USA. The stats prove this. However,It is far better than Africa. Latin America is far far better than Africa in almost every way that it matters. Outside of the western world, the only parts of the world I would consider living is Latin America and East Asia

capitalzero:


There are poor people everywhere even in US and Europe. To your question, Africans are poor because there must be poor people. Other contributing factors to poverty are bad governance, superstitious beliefs, lack of skills, and disasters either man made or natural.

African poverty is like non other. They at least have a welfare state in those countries.

motymop:


How do you think most countries got rich? Do you think, its by playing nice?

It was via industrialisation. Afrocentrics are hilarious, they speak as if without colonisation that Africa would be dirt poor. With or without colonisation, Africa will end up in the same position that it is today.

[quote author=motymop post=100773514]

I think it will be nice if we logically debate this topic instead of being emotional, the data is not in your favour.

About 60% of the world poorest people live in Africa.[/quote
Look at the other data too

[quote author=Rossikki post=100773700]

There are millions of children going to bed hungry in America every day you devil.

Millions of Americans are homeless and sleep on the streets, in one of the world's most unequal societies.

There are blacks harassed, brutalised, and shot on the streets daily by US police.

Homicide rate is 60,000 a year in America.

There is a terrible gun crisis there, and people walk into a shop and buy a gun with no background checks.

Opioid addiction claims 70,000 lives a year in America, your country.

You have MORE THAN ENOUGH ISSUES in your country to deal with, so get lost.

If you care about 'Africans', deal with the structural racism against the 40 million people of African descent in your country before coming here to cry crocodile tears for Africa.

SATAN. ''Caring about Africa''.[/quote

That’s not even how you calculate homicide rate. US homicide rate is like 6 per 100,000 compared to Nigeria at 35 per 100,000

Rossikki:


The 60,000 Americans slaughtered by guns did not have any ''government safety net''.

The 70,000 Americans killed by drug overdose had no ''govt safety net''.

The blacks routinely killed and brutalized by US police did not have any government safety net when their killers are let off scot-free by racist all-white juries.

Wouldn't it be nice if you go and deal with your American problems before showing FAKE concern for other peoples' issues. SATAN.

Racist demon coming here to deceive his father with fake love for Africa.

Except they would have, The US alone spends 2 trillion dollars a year on social security for Americans. Blacks that tend to be in disadvantaged communities live on welfare.

It's absurd the white man claimed to have return a billion dollars, it means they're other unaccountable Billions stashed. Switzerland don chop Naija money no be small.

It’s better that Switzerland keeps the money. That money in Switzerland will be far better utilised to improving their society. In Nigeria, It will just help find the extravagant lifestyle of Nigerian politicians. The Swiss government/politicians will invest it for there people. In Nigeria, It will be looted by the rich.

Rostikol:


Shut your dumbass.

Nigerians bathe daily, unlike white English people who bathe once or twice a week, and stink.

Indians and Bangladeshis are worse. Their food makes them stink even hours after they’ve eaten.

The only people I can comfortably sit beside on a train or bus in Europe are blacks, whether from Nigeria or anywhere else.

Yeah sure thing pal, When many Nigerians bathe in dirty rivers? 😂😂 Nigeria is by no means of imagination a hygienic country. You would be delusional to think otherwise. That’s why Nigerians and Africans get the most diseases. They have poor hygiene standards compared to the rest of the world.
You’re a comment is a joke😂 Nigerians are far more unhygienic 😂😂 It’s not a comparison.

The only people you can sit around comfortably in Europe are blacks? They are probably the ones that one to seat with you.

Indians and Bangladeshi are cleaner. Their food is way better too. I’m sorry but wtf says that “who wants to go Nigerian food?” overseas? No people say let’s go Mexican, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese etc. Stats will even suggest that those cuisines are the most desired all over the world.
Nigerian food is distgusting.
It stinks. Egusi smell can last for days. Even after wiping your ass. You will still smell that shit. It will last for weeks and weeks on end. Only Nigerian dish that is decent is Jollof Rice. But that’s a west African dish.

Shame...happening in a country that is supposed to be among the 1st world countries.

Nigeria has never been first world, not by any stretch of imagination.

sorepco:
It helps China. Can'tyou see the way America is forcing China to revalue her devalued currency??
A devalued currency helps a country that produces and manufacture things, not one that only imports because if you only import as we do in Nigeria then the more we need the dollars. Were we a massive producing country then the dollar will not be this high as more dollars will be coming in than going out!

Those economies are actually producing something. Almost every thing we utilise comes out of
The Western World or East Asia.

How is it anecdotal when there are multiple videos on it? ☠️

Say what you want about Nigeria. But you'll never catch us making street food like Indians.

It is anecdotal

The fact that there are videos of Indians eating street food doesn’t mean that India as a country is less hygienic than Nigeria.These stats and diagrams prove you wrong. Your delusional. Nigeria is finished.
Drinking tap water in Nigeria or any African country for that matter is suicidal. One is signing their death certificate. One would have to make sure they buy excess amounts of toilet roll and toilet detergents in order to prepare for a war with the toilet 😂😂

Better than india🤣 Have you seen their street food ?

That’s anecdotal nonsense. India’s sewage system is nowhere as bad as that of Nigeria which is non-existent. Nigerians are by no means hygienic.

kk

Is that it? That’s your response?
Poor show. You must have more than that!😂😂

grandstar:


Sad you say this. Perhaps its the presentation.

Something made you hate Nigerian food. I can sense resentment and bitterness, a form of transfer of aggression. You may have been introduced to you the wrong way. I can imagine Nigerian parents forcing you to eat it and presentation can also be poor. I am a big fan of presentation. I hate with passion being served yams in large chunky forms. It is best when it is cut into cubes.

The swallows such as eba, fufu or amala can do with better presentations as well. Look at the stylish fufu attached

You have a bad history regarding our food. There are 250 tribes and probably thousands of recipes

That image you showed me doesn’t support your argument, It makes it worse. Nigerian food is not aesthetically pleasing FULLSTOP Fufu just looks like whitened poop 😂 and the soup looks like vomit.
You should have posted jollof. That’s West African though not really Nigerian That’s why African food cannot compete with foreign dishes whether it’s European (Italian, French,German etc) or Asian(Chinese, Japanese, Indian food etc) and Latin American food (Mexican, Brazilian) It doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing, has a terrible smell and the taste is meh.

grandstar:


Where are you from?

What does that have anything to do with this? I have Nigerian parents and sadly had to grow up there (partially) Food stinks, taste meh and is aesthetically it looks horrible. Nigerian Food either likes like shit or vomit 🤮 💩
