Foreign Affairs › If Bill Gates Were Black...by John Hope Bryant by Techwriter(op): 7:13am On Sep 09, 2014
If Bill Gates were black, it would be less important that President Barack Obama is black. This is no slight to President Obama. It is an acknowledgment that while the route to success has changed, for too many in the black and minority community, their game plan has not.
For much of the past century, African Americans pursued social justice through government intervention, the ballot box, and ultimately elective office. While the number of black mayors and elected officials in this country is impressive, the number of black entrepreneurs is not. As a result, job creation in underserved communities, and among the black middle class, is stagnant.

The main driver of freedom in the world today is not the vote but self-determination and access to capital. When I speak of capital, I obviously mean financial capital, but I also mean the Latin root word capitas, or “knowledge in the head.” That means financial literacy education, financial capability, and financial and economic empowerment. But you cannot have freedom and self-determination, in the 21st century (an economic age), without an opportunity for and access to some measure of financial freedom.

This means that financial literacy is the new civil rights issue for this generation. Or, put another way: If you don’t understand the global language of money, and if you don’t have a bank or credit union account, you are simply an economic slave.
What Black America needs is a business image of itself that matches its political image.

Is it that GEJ is working and his government is undoing many coverups and administrative negligence or that he is doing all this because of next years election? I used not to support this dude, In fact I even voted against him but truth be told I may have been wrong. With several "transparent" projects to empowering the youth with entrepreneural drive, to the railway wonders and now rebuilding the desolations of many generations of leaders, I think I can say he is trying. Anyway this is my first time saying this on Nairaland.

However, every government should read emeagwali's thought about Africa and the way forward. I found it very inspiring(not minding the controversy surrounding the writer) http://think2wize..com/2010/09/where-is-africa-going-wrong.html

Health › Does The Recent Ebola Outbreak In W.africa Remind You Of Botha's 1983 Speech? by Techwriter(op):
We just heard that 2 Americans has just survived an attack by the virus but another "American" brought it to the most populated country in Africa. How come HIV is said to come from the West yet we are the greatest victims. Don't be decieved we are not more sexually immoral than the West.
Now remember the speech purportedly given by former South African president Botha in the heat of Aparthied(80s). Part of that speech he delivered to his parliament reads:

I wish to announce a number of new strategies that should be put to use to destroy this Black bug. We should now make use of the chemical weapon. Priority number one, we should not by all means allow any more increases of the Black population lest we be choked very soon. I have exciting news that our scientists have come with an efficient stuff. I am sending out more researchers to the field to identify as many venues as possible where the chemical weapons could be employed to combat any further population increases. The hospital is a very strategic opening, for example and should be fully utilized. The food supply channel should be used. We have enveloped excellent slow killing poisons and fertility destroyers. Our only fear is in case such stuff came in! ! to their hands as they are bound to start using it against us if you care to think of the many Blacks working for us in our homes.

However, we are doing the best we can to make sure that the stuff remains strictly in our hands.....

My scientists have come up with a drug that could be smuggled into their brews to effect slow poisoning results and fertility destruction. Working through drinks and manufacturing of soft drinks geared to the Blacks, could promote the channels of reducing their population. Ours is not a war that we can use the atomic bomb to destroy the Blacks, so we must use our intelligence to effect this. The person-to-person encounter can be very effective.....

Christianity Etc › The Power Of Ideas By Rev. Sam Adeyemi by Techwriter(op): 2:14am On Aug 24, 2014
Many years ago, in a small town in the United States, a doctor climbed his horse and rode to a chemist’s shop. He went in through the back door. He carried in his hand an old fashioned kettle and a wooden paddle. He brought these items to the shop clerk with a sheet of paper on which was written the formula for a drink. Both of them began to bargain and eventually the clerk gave the doctor five hundred dollars for the items that he had come to sell. What the doctor sold to the clerk was worth a fortune to the young clerk but not to the doctor who gave away the items for just five hundred dollars.

To the surprise of the clerk, the content of the kettle which has since become a household name in the world, began to pour forth gold. The content of the kettle has been heard of in more places on the earth than any gospel.

The Addition that Made a Difference
Somehow, the young clerk added something to the kettle, the paddle and the formula. That thing, I believe is an IDEA. Today, the content of that kettle is the greatest consumer of sugar in the world. It is sustaining sugar plantations, the workers and their families around the world. It is one of the world’s greatest consumers of glass and has turned the fortunes of many men around. The name of this drink is Coca-Cola, and the name of the clerk is Asa Candler.

The same thing that the doctor placed a value of five hundred dollars on has today assumed a value that is difficult to estimate. The difference between the doctor and the clerk was one idea. The doctor did not realize that all the while he was holding the kettle, the paddle and the formula, billions of dollars were potentially lying in his hands. Unfortunately, he did not find the idea so he could not get the billions of dollars. But one young man caught the idea and was able to release the potential for the billions.

In as much as I respect your fight for sincerity, I would also want to let you know that you believed the White stories, because slavery made most of you believe everything White is Right. But that is false. They wrote what they wanted you to read. Have you ever read that Shakespeare did not write the books attributed to him(Google it!) or that Neil Armstrong never landed on the moon? The white conspiracy theories that amplifies their achievement and belittles yours caught up with you and you swallowed them and now using it as an example against your black brother. Even the Sahara Reporter that blew the whistle cannot deny that Philip Emeagwali had a Gordons Award, owns two masters Degree, is a geologist, mathematician and engineer all of which are great feats.

idupaul: Please don't ever show me an open sourced content link again when it come Emeagwali ...1000 dollar prize award now turn into father of the internet accolade ..

Hate him or love him, he has achieved what majority of Nigerians will never achieve. It may be exaggerated, yet you can't deny the fact that he is an enigma. One more lesson for you: those who focus on the wrong side of people rarely move ahead in life. While you are busy criticizing them they are making more impact while you have not moved a step from Nairaland where you stay and waste your bytes and time. So use your time to do something more constructive than looking for who to bash. Try it and thank me later

Oil Tanks exhausted, Think Tanks Needed
Should Nigeria migrate from oil to soil, as is often suggested. I think not. It should leapfrog into the Information Age. Nigeria cannot return to an agricultural age because the West is being urbanized, the East is being eroded, and the North is being desertified. A Nigeria without oil must make the transition to a knowledge-based economy.

Nollywood can redefine 21st century Africa as the continent of arts and innovation. If Nigerians have an average of three children per couple, it will become the world's third most populous nation in 50 years. It will lag behind China and India, but will have a greater population density. Where will we find farmland? My grandfather's farmland was located where Onitsha market now lies. For countless centuries, my Igbo ancestors were farmers. Sons walked in their father's footsteps, ploughing the same land. Their life expectancy was about 37 years.

I understand you, but Nigerians need to value education and knowledge first before you bring such things if not they will loot the infrastructure. Our youths would rather attend a political rally to share immediate money than IT school to prepare for the future. Our political leaders would rather empower a tout than a youth with vision.

Politics › Where Is Africa Going? A Must Read Article By Philip Emeagwali by Techwriter(op): 9:36am On Aug 22, 2014
You may see Philip Emeagwali as controversial but one thing you cannot take from him is his philosophical writing skill and his scientific prowess. Yes it may have been exaggerated but the truth still remains that most Africans have not attempted his feat in the science world. This is one of his write up I believe every African youth should read:

WHERE IS AFRICA GOING?
Out-of-the-Box Thinking in an In-the-Box World
[img]http://1.bp..com/-eLluBp8snXA/U_KjQiJc4II/AAAAAAAAAdE/lUX1MEcboHo/s1600/Philip-Emeagwali.jpg[/img] I once believed that capital was another word for money, the accumulated wealth of a country or its people. Surely, I thought, wealth is determined by the money or property in one’s possession. Then I saw a Deutsche Bank advertisement in the Wall Street Journal that proclaimed: “Ideas are capital. The rest is just money.” I was struck by the simplicity of such an eloquent and forceful idea. I started imagining what such power meant for Africa.

The potential for progress and poverty alleviation in Africa relies on capital generated from the power within our minds, not from our ability to pick minerals from the ground or seek debt relief and foreign assistance. If ideas are capital, why is Africa investing more on things than on information, and more on the military than on education? Suddenly, I realized what this idea could mean for Africa. If the pen is mightier than the sword, why does a general earn more than the work of a hundred writers combined? If ideas are indeed capital, then Africa should stem its brain drain and promote the African Renaissance, which will lead to the rebirth of the continent. After all, a renaissance is a rebirth of ideas. And knowledge and ideas are the engines that drive economic growth. When African men and women of ideas, who will give birth to new ideas, have fled to Europe and the United States, then the so-called African Renaissance cannot occur in Africa. It can only occur in Paris, London and New York.

Christianity Etc › Re: I Am A Jealous God. by Techwriter:
Yes there is positive jealousy and negative jealousy just as there is negative pride and positive pride, negative. I can be proud of my heritage yet we know that pride is not a good attitude. When He said we should not be jealous, he meant envy(kjv properly translated it as envy in that verse) but when He said He is a Jealous God, He meant He is a loving and protective being. If you are not jealous of your wife, it simply shows you don't love her

kheart: Here is what Jesus said in d bible "... if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and
buy one."

"If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his mother and father, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters - yes even his own life, he cannot be My disciple."

"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter against her mother-in-law, a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household."

If i were to go by the literal and laymans view of ur quote then ur bible s also no diff.
Yes Jesus brought a sword. If you are a Bible student you would know that the Word of God is a Sword(the Sword of the Spirit)Ephesians 6:17 and Hebrews 4:12. For you to follow Jesus, you can not be a friend of the world,(including your parents if they are unbeliever) you must hate that system(James 4:4, 1Jn 2:15). Your philosophy may sometimes go contrary to theirs in which case you must go with the standard. So they will definitely hate you and you must hate their system.

Remember it was Jesus that thought that if they slap you on one cheek turn the other. Remember it was Jesus who rebuked Peter for using a physical sword. Remember it was Jesus who never fought nor killed anyway even when he was accysed falsely and killed, he still prayed for God to forgive them. If the sword means physical sword, he would have exemplified it himself or encourage his disciples to, instead the Bible teaches that when your enemy is hungry feed him(Rom 12:20). Remember it was Jesus that foretold us that the time is coming when Islam will kill us and think they are doing Gods will(John 16:2) he didn't tell us to fight back when that time comes

if you say the Koran was being literal then the founder wouldnt have practiced it. Muhammad was a murderer, a loot and a pedophile.... don't let me start. He is just everything satanic

No matter how good you are, provided you are a Muslim you are one step from terrorism. Let me explain: you will bear children that will go to mosque, read Koran and mix with other Muslims. You can't guarantee what they will turn out to be at the end. Abdulmutalab the terrorist has a father who claims to be a good Muslim. Bro the only way is Jesus
Health › Online Ebola Tracker Invented by Techwriter(op): 3:23am On Aug 11, 2014
Those looking to keep track of the Ebola outbreak know it can take days for the World Health Organization to update cases, a source of frustration when it comes to the fast-spreading disease. Which is why an online tool created by Boston Children's Hospital is seeing a spike in visitors of late, reports the Boston Globe. It's an Ebola tracker—part of the HealthMap.org site—and it updates occurrences of the disease in real time by factoring in social media, news stories, government websites, doctors' online postings, etc., explains AP.

"The news reports and social media posts aren’t always reliable, but in general they provide an up-to-date sense of what’s happening," says a co-founder of HealthMap, which made its debut in 2006. In fact, the site began getting reports of a "mystery hemorrhagic fever" in Guinea on March 14, nine days before WHO issued its first official report on the Ebola outbreak. (One of the two US patients undergoing treatment in Atlanta says he's getting better.)

You are suffering from a disease called inside-box-thinking. This ailment makes its sufferers measure God with man's ruler thereby limiting the sovereignty of God. At its acute stage, the sufferer refuses to acknowledge the existence of God and turns to science for solution to all of human problems. Then sets in Blindness. Imagine that even your eve has tatoo on her. You need Jesus for enlightenment. Pray that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened, for truth is hidden from those who think they are wise
