This is something that I have noticed. Nigerians especially, have an inferiority complex and believe white people or people with lighter skin are better than them. That's why you will see Nigerians bypassing obstacles to defend white people in any given situation. Even on this board, I see it all the time. They defend the evil actions of white people to the detriment of their own humanity, its so sad to me.

The colonial masters left 50 plus years ago but we are still getting eaten up by white supremacy. It's like an infection that will not go away.

Like it or not since from the beginning of the universe we were cursed to be inferior
Gen 9:20-27

Noah cursed ham an explanation to black sin and slavery

Ham (Kam > Kamit) is the biblical ancestor of black people, it is irrefutable judging by the genealogy that is given by the bible; (Genesis ch.10 v.6)
“And the sons of Ham: Cush and Mizraim, and Put and Canaan.”

• Cush (Kush) is an hebraic word meaning « black » and it indicates Nubia, today’s Sudan, a country mainly populated by black people.
• Mizraim (Mizraim) is also a hebrew ("semitic"wink word to name Egypt (Kemet),
Thanks to the work of Cheikh Anta Diop, we know for certain that ancient Egypt was inhabited by black people.
• Canaan designates Palestine (now called Israel).

No actually. I'm smart and I'm very enlightened. I don't think any race is better than me. I believe Africa is the best continent in the world. I love being African. From your post I can see you don't feel the same way. Very unfortunate.

This is not just about belief and sentiments, what has the black race as a whole achieved indigenously to show superiority over the white except for the detailed art works of bronze from ancient kingdoms like the Benin and Ile lfe kingdoms?

Do you know the vital parts of that phone/ computer you used to type your comment was mined in the democratic republic of congo? If the Congolese government decided that they don't want western cooperations to mine their natural resources, the price of electronic devices will sky rocket.
Do you know it was a black person that invented the first air conditioner?
The first telephone with caller ID was invented by a black person.
Those inverters that some Nigerians use for electricity was invented by a black person.
Blood banks were invented by a black person
A black person made the first traffic signal
A black person created the ironing board.
A black person created the machines that factories use to make shoes.
Next time you walk through a door like this, just know it was a black person that made it possible.

Nigeria has very intelligent people. The problem with Nigeria is that the system is not set up to tap into our talents.

Developed countries invest in their citizens, people get grants in developed countries to do research. Corporations also spend a lot of money on innovation. Its easier to get loans with low interest in developed nations. Not so easy in Nigeria, because of this, entrepreneurship is not highly encouraged.

When Nigerians invent something, advancements are not encouraged and those inventions die with the creator. There are so many Nigerians that have built, cars, planes, motorcycles by themselves. If the government cared, we would have our own car, plane manufacturing factories by now.

We may not thrive at home but when we travel abroad to countries where finances and support are easier to attain, the sky is our limit.

Africans are not cursed, We just have lazy, shameless, selfish, power-hungry leaders.

How can we claim to be intelligent and yet choose these leaders as the best from amongst us?. lt means there's something fundamentally wrong with us.

it seems the black man brain is fashion to malfunction.. despite all the natural resources endowed with Africa...
we still rely on the white for common aids... imaging our engineering graduates can't construct Bridges,roads without having q white man at the head..
I think it is a thing of the mind. let our people see themselves as superior,innovative and able to do it..then we can scale the topmost height... the whites weren't better but they keep on trying and perfecting their skills...

It's not about us. Was Jonathan a better candidate? Do you think if anyone else had the APC ticket in 2015, their administration would be better? This is an honest question. When Buhari was president back in the 80's he actually did his job. He was not a perfect president, he was still a dictator but there were visible changes during the 2 years he spent in power. I believe that's why people voted for him. Jonathan is from my tribe but I will call a spade a spade. he was a horrible president, Buhari's administration is equally and even worse than Jonathan's administration. Nigerians just wanted anybody else but Jonathan. Do you realize election are still not 'fair' in Nigeria? People behind the scenes like Obasanjo, Tinubu, are responsible for the leaders that we have today.

I noticed that alot of Nigerians are critical of Nigeria without actually thinking about where Nigeria's problem is coming from. Have you noticed that after fighting like lions during the elections, our politicians still mingle with each other, shake hands, hug, laugh together, and party together? While ordinary Nigerians are fighting over tribes/ religions, these thieves and murderers don't see tribe/ religion as a barrier when its time to milk the country dry.

Our problem is the political class. If we keep voting for APC/ PDP, we will keep getting the same results.
