tonychristopher:

my brother we are looking at this from the same direction ..delusion isn't an escape ..what is killing us is the fact that we have believed that we can't go the whole mile alone without assistance

Chinese closed their economy believing in the principle of what you can't produce you don't need ...that's another way if saying that necessity is the mother of invention ...they curtailed their contact with outside world

today they are better off

today we have unsatisfactory appetite for anything foreign. we buy fairly used undies we can't just produce anything . the Lord given oil we just can't refine ..its shameful sometimes I am so ashamed


its like having a cassava farm you will uproot and harvest cassava then sell it to buy garri etc ...that's our position

now some urchins are refining oil in the creeks of Delta what do we get ? government clamping on them

in America the government makes good use of criminals that's proactive thinking

we need to change

Asians Americans Europeans and Latinos are laughing at us and some few semitic people of Arabs not Dubai or Qatar or turkey

why us why Africa

ooshinibos:


You are right , delusion is not an escape route as we must have to take responsibilty for our predicament and actions ...
so , the question is who are those ''We'' ? that are responsible for creating poverty and mayhem in Africa .
Another issue we did not mention is the wickedness and selfishness in our society , is this genetics as well , or it is just lack of understanding how the world works ...as you rightly said deluded leaders should not be the reason for lack of basic infrasrtucture that have evaded Nigeria year after year , with different and various electrification programs ..and we have not managed to produce 5000 MW to this day , why ?? ..something he definitely wrong .
I spoke to an official recently .. I asked him why infrastructure programs are never completed ?, he said because the money is not enough to round due to pkickbacks or bribes , i now told him , why cant they add extra money for this kickbacks and complete the project , i also told him that if they actually complete projects , people will like them , the government will make money via tax and the economy will benefit .....guess what ? he did not understand the logic and failed to see the benefit for all . if we start edutating the massing about good governance , and the benefits ..actually discussing government responsibilties and what to do if this things are not done ..maybe we see the change you are talking about .................

the white people are baffled that we are still in poverty with all that we are blessed with ...they are actually disappointed and thats why they will never respect us :-) ..some hate blacks because we have become dependents on their little resources ..

its a shame on us , we should be feeding them not the other way round ...

wetin you talk bruv

.

tonychristopher:

its not only the whites that are baffled that we are in this mess...I am also baffled ...take a trip to oil producing community and see what is abject poverty ..in the midst of aplenty they lack then visit places like Nnewi with no oil ...that us the situation we have in Nigeria

natural resources cause a nation what is known as dutch disease and that we are suffering

are you still wondering how...in university there is an elective course I did then called sociology of development ...there it was stated that the west practise white wizardry while Africa practice black wizardry and that is just truth

look at Macbeth the witches told him that he will be a king and he became a king

here in Africa witches will see you to be a king they will use their powers to thwart and avert that throne from you ....


that is Africa

look at Zimbabwe when it was Rhodesia it was the best economy because whites where there ....now look at Zimbabwe when they chased the whites away then renamed it Zimbabwe ..such a mess of a country

so I think its nurture that nature

we need to change our thinking ..first its thinking not money

pro2010:

African countries lack strong INSTITUTIONS and that is the bane of our development!

wetin you talk bruv

tonychristopher:

he is Philip emeagwalli he was one of the founders of internet ....I know the discredited report sahara report did on him ...just because he is Igbo and black

what of Dr abakaka the HIV vaccine guy...they didn't believe him

what of engineer Izuogu that built the cars in 80s they killed his dream cos he is black and Igbo

so many instances ....I am an igbo but I am talking from black view point not trivial tribal

too much pull him down syndrome in us...irks me so bad

logica: LMAO. The quote in bold highlights your idiocy; which is really responsible for your travails but I don't expect you to understand. Whether you like it or not, Emeagwali was a scam artist and was well exposed. I am sure you find this hard to believe as you are Igbo. Of course we know Igbos can never scam anybody. Igbos are very honest and hardworking.

Well, I have news for you; you are pro-Igbo and not pro-African; this is quite clear even if you try to hide it. It is in plain sight. As such, I will advise you to speak for Igbo only and not generalize too much.

Secondly, you strike me as the kind of guy that when told to "stick to his guns", will go find a few "Awka" rifles and use Super Glue to make them stick on him. If I want to speak like you, I will say this appears to be a malaise common where you come from.

If you marinate in my post and it doesn't make sense, I don't expect it to; to you that is. Just let it go.

tonychristopher:

it will be be nice if you don't have anything meaningful to say on how we as black will be lifted out of the doldrums.. please stay by the sidelines and watch .

logica: Once again; you are not pro-Black/Africa; you are pro-Igbo. So stop deceiving yourself and stick to your domain. It's a friendly advise; as doing otherwise will seriously expose you FURTHER.

tonychristopher:

if I am pro Igbo and igbos are blacks automatically I am pro blacks indirectly

have you ever encountered a subject called logic and deductive reasoning sir.

logica: LMAO. You see why you have a hard time; yet you always think you are victimized because you are Igbo?

That same logical reasoning that you think you are an expert in exposes you right there.

How does pro Igbo => pro Black? Basically, you used logical reasoning to imply that a subset and a superset are one and the same. From many of previous posts, you barely hid your hatred for a "tribe" you cannot name; the "tribe" at the heart of your problems (and this "tribe" happens to be a set of black people or not?) Obviously for someone who has a poor handle on logic, we can deduce the real heart of your problems - you.

tonychristopher:

we Black's always blame somebody either we blame colonialism or we blame it on something flimsy like superstition.. do you know that today in northern Nigeria they are seeing education as an aberration.. they will not do immunizations neither will they allow census or allow people to choose their way of life

now tell me with a scene like this how can Nigeria move forward

today we still practise nomadic agriculture where cattle will be taken from a place to place instead of having them in ranches ...today we practise seasonal agriculture today you will see engineers in banks and doctors as electoral officers while lawyers are selling books

a whole lot of things is wrong

I think massive orientation is what matters

take a look at our stations today and tell me programmes that are focusing research and developments... just few what we get to see is music and dance shows

we are just dancing to our stupidity and its shameful

take a look at waec you will but weep for the black mind

smoothsk: seems someone has being smoking a lot of God knows what.............lolz. dude dont take this personal, i read through your stuff i must confess some do make sense, its all about agreeing to disagree. You are not bound to agree with my views and neither am i bound to agree with wih yours.

My point is stop the insultive and name calling if you read a post that does not agree with your views kindly act the Bigger Man and read or ignore and move on. besides there are better ways to present your views without resorting to the use of crude remarks.

Not every rant deserve a response.......cheers

all4naija: I haven't being smoking anything detrimental to my reasoning faculty at all. If you cannot make a meaningful notion on what I have said in my previous post that is your own problem not mine.

Let my correctional terms be. They aren't insulting rather they are meant to correct something about those who are aberrant in nature in this forum and that includes you.

Your last statement is very funny. I don't think it is going to change a thing about my views in this forum. Bwahaha...

smoothsk:

Not every Rant deserve a response. If you must comment on any of my post then tone down on your so called correctional terms............men na d english wey u too sabi dey worry u sha........lol

tonychristopher:

nice attitude

I love your enterprise and your business concept ..Airfresher please keep it up

I will call you or whatsapp you

smoothsk: .


Thanks a lot I do look forward to hear from you. Do have a nice weekend.

all4naija:
You are just an attention-seeking prick!I am not going to let you have that here.

andy24: Black beauty. Black is our African Pride

fightforchange1: Will you become accountable for our own actions and then we become accountable for the things we do and stop blaming other people s people will be able to to flourish to prosper to have wealth to have success
victimization.

tonychristopher:

are these strong institutions not manned by human being ..what happened to the institutions when whites where in Zimbabwe and what happened when whites left

what happened to institutions when there was colonialism in Nigeria and what happened just few years after they left

its not the institutions but the mentality of people Manning the institution

that's my submission

tonychristopher:

that's what I have been trying to ask all these while ..I feel that each set of human being and race should be able to apply solutions that is peculiar to their environment the Greek used democracy in their own light the americans have their own version of democracy called the presidential system now the Brits have the parliament where monarchy and democracy are interwoven the Chinese and Russians have their unique form of democracy then in Arabs the Saudis and Dubai have their own form of government nobody is disturbing them

now come to Africa we try to copy the american system and not knowing that we are not American . we should be able to find home made solutions for home made challenges

but to me I feel that the time we start looking inward the better. but the problem with Us is that we lack the ability to believe in ourselves always seeking help outside .

that is where we get it all wrong . we can make it. Dubai proved to the world that Arabs can be smart

china and Japanese proved to the world that the Asians or mongols can be smart

the Caucasians have gone far and place men in the moon

Nigeria can also prove that black man can be advanced but will internal bickering and bring him down syndrome help us.

the message I think we youth need is that we can make it only if we believe .

I don't want to believe that we are not at par with other races generically-genetically or intellectually
