adejumoadeoluwa: You are suffering from intellectual laziness. I am surprised that some people are trying to answer these meaningless questions. What do you mean by most unsuccessful race? How do you measure success, compared to whom? What constitutes a race? 1 Like |

Clentuzbaba: That's not courage, the act of isolation slowed Japan's progress globally as at then. It was until they became accessible that they began making progress in scientific fields, architecture, arts and engineering. So there is nothing courageous about isolating one's self, the Chinese tried it and failed. They opened up and are succeeding! 1 Like |

Muafrika2: 1. That you are an indigene doesn't confer rights to earn more when working. Monies paid during employment is based on productivity not "I'm son of the soil". If only Caucasians are the ones paying so low, how about the Asians controlling various mines, mostly illegally? Stop blaming others for lack of productivity. How about Nigerian nay African firms that owe their employees in "their land"? 2. Laws by various African nations prevent such. If there's a law that supports it, most firms will be forced to do it. However, since there's none, no point doing anything. Moreover, it saves money and cut costs (every business's aim). It behoves on Africans to hold their legislators accountable to formulate laws that protect the land and royalty fees. Also, not only Europeans mine in Africa. 3. Why does Dangote transfer profits from other countries to Nigeria? Companies transfer profits from wherever they conduct business to their home nations or anywhere it's profitable to park a profit. Even in the west, firms find every loophole not to park the profits in an unprofitable place. Read about Delaware being a tax haven in the US. Various firms worldwide do same. It's simply cutting costs, nothing about Europeans. 4. Laws, rules and regulations. Make yours. Increase your standards. Ghana and Cameroon export bananas to European nations, ditto Kenya and Ethiopia in ornamental flowers. Are these European nations? 6. Simple, reduce trade barriers, taxes, bureaucracy, unnecessary law enforcement agencies, streamline the process, make things uniform etc. It's simple. Don't transfer the blame. 7. Mugabe is a foolish man. He should have learnt lessons from Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore. Apparently, he goes there only for medical check-up. 1 Like 1 Share |

Gerrard59:Your argument is idealistic. It assumes that the world is a perfect and equal place where everybody can travel to any place, get involved in any venture and governments are FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE I would have to pull out agreements, reports, etc to debunk your idealism but am feeling lazy. I will only respond to the flower farms part .... They are mostly. . 1. Owned by European companies. I Ethiopia, they are viewed as land grabbers .... in addition to being seen as offering no benefit to local communities ... so they burned many foreign owned flower farms.
2. Underpay, and are cited as the worst violators of workers rights. They are greedily exposed to pesticides, herbicides, because their employers can't hold the work while spraying. While pointing out the issue, the medics don't even have the guts to point out the poisoning ... dust
It is poisoning. ..
And I can't believe that one of your arguments is that Indians do it too, |

efficiencie: I would like to join your conversation with hiddenshadow and observant. I agree with you that selfishness, self aggrandisement and greed is the bane of the black man and the Igbos exhibit the worst examples of these traits. The igbos look for who to blame for their failures and blame everybody else and everything else but themselves. If the igbos possess inate greatness in them as propagated by hiddenshadow and observant, why didn't the igbos make great civilizations in the past? Why didn't the igbos make technological, artistic social or literary contributions to the world before the advent of the Europeans? Biafra would have been a political disaster. why? Because no Igbo man is ready to subsume his interest for another. Ojukwu would never have sacrificed his political ambitions for any other, he would have been the mugabe of Biafra. Same with the present agitations for Biafra, it was all about Kanu, and Kanu would never sacrifice his political ambitions for the Biafrans goal. If Biafra has potential to be great, we would have seen evidence of that from the way the present Biafra (Igbo states) are run, from state levels to local government levels. The Igbo states and local governments exhibit the same levels of greed, self interest and wickedness as other states. The total money the five Igbo states receive from the federal government ( both state and local government allocations ) is enough to run a country successfully. I am sure many countrystudents like Gabon, Benin Republic, Togo, Chad, etc do not receive the kinds of money these state receive and yet they are able to run the countries and build infrastructures. Only a bad workman quarrels with his tools, the Igbo states governors can make use of the Nigerian laws to build critical infrastructures. Nothing stops the governments from applying for licences and investing in the mineral and oil resources sector either alone or with foreign partners if they are interested. Nothing stops the state governments from building bridges and roads and tolling it to recuperate their investments. Nothing stops the state governments from building refineries, power stations or any other critical infrastructure if there are ready to selfishnessly work for the betterment of their people. 1 Like |

adejumoadeoluwa:Who do you think established the civilizations in Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia among many others in Africa? They were black ok. There is not going to be Christmas everyday, so we were great in the past and not great now. But we will come out of this mess in the future. The ancestors of most of the now Europeans were used to be called savage in ancient times. But they are great now, so why can't us also improve to our former glory? We will do it! |

I've always had this feeling that there's something about Blacks People, hopefully, this book will open my eyes. I'm still reading right now (it's 401 pages). Thank you once again. 1 Like |
