From the pattern of post on the thread and most of the other threads on nairaland. I honestly believe the biggest problem with Africa is mental slavery. I don't understand why you lot are trying to critique the man for changing the name back to what the locals call it. It's their darn ancestral land and whatever they call it, should be the official name. Oh lawd, why are African people so messed up mentally? Heck, some are even blaming the man for economic woes induced by neck-breaking sanctions. The future of Africa is as dark as it's now. There's no future!! 2 Likes |

Wale112: President Robert Mugabe wants Victoria Falls to be renamed 'the smoke that thunders' to get rid of its colonial history. The president of Zimbabwe believes Victoria Falls does not reflect its liberation heritage. What i find ludicrous is when they say it was first discovered by Mr soso so and so. KMT |

pDude: [/b] You know why White folks will never wrong you in America? It's basically because they don't see you as a threat - and subconsciously you're subservient to them, without knowing it. You believe they're superior to you and since that's what they have been raised to believe, they instantly believe you're a house-slave. Someone not to bother. That's their mentality. However, there are a lot good white people out there - but they all have that white-privilege mentality that comes to the fore, when it's time to compete. With Asians and Arabs, they have been indoctrinated to believe that they're superior to black people. And since some of them are just as mentally messed up as black folks - it's just natural for them to show that superiority-complex whenever they meet black folks. Some of them, not all. And they don't like seeing their women with black guys - just stay away from their girls (especially Indians) because you might not live to tell the story. ![]() 1 Like |

Most of the United States use to be British Colonies and Nobody has Changed any Location or Monument Named after the British. So should we say the US has a Slavery Mentality? |

abhosts: Most of the United States use to be British Colonies and Nobody has Changed any Location or Monument Named after the British. So should we say the US has a Slavery Mentality? Apples to oranges. Majority of Americans are ethnic Brit (including Scots) and Irish. The language is English. Virginia and a few other American states are still quintessentially British. Till the native Americans get their land back and become the owners of the country - there's no basis for comparison. Last comment on the thread. I'm out. 2 Likes |

pDude: Darn!!! You made me come back. Just one more comment. How long have you lived in America for? One year, no? I'll tell you the same thing I told Davidylan a few months ago. If you're a FOB (freshie), don't debate western experience with people who have lived in the western world all their lives. Living though an experience is different from just living there to survive - that's something too deep for you to comprehend. It's called: "Experience." Ever heard about "white experience", "black experience", "asian experience", etc..? Whoever is fascinated by you now is doing so because of your naivety. You're still grateful for leaving Nigeria, for a better place. So you won't be able to discern things. However, with time, perhaps after a decade when you start feeling American, with a sense-of-entitlement - and start getting the negro-wake-up card - you would understand better. Everything happens in phases. I'm out this time. 1 Like |

Our people no longer reason. Robert Mugabe may have his short comings but it is on record, for those that can see, that he is the only African leader in Southern Africa, if not the whole of Africa, that has successfully taken over lands stolen by the whites during the colonial days. He took the lands and distributed them among African. Queen Elizabeth's reaction of withdrawing the honour confered on him never moved him. Zimbabwe may have high inflation, but it has the highest per centage of educated people in Africa. 2 Likes |

I concur with president Mugabe on this. Our Nigeria rulers are the opposite. Especially, Abuja that's just developing, they name some of the street in Abuja after some colonial and imperial rulers. Imagine, Bill Clinton has a street in Abuja. That's the way to the Nnamdi Azikwe international Airport. |

pDude: Ok, brother. I'll come back because we're cool and the convo is interesting. I understand where you're coming from. I honestly do, though I don't know much about your naija experience. My experience is different. However, from what I know from being raised around Nigerians - Nigerians definitely are one of the worst people to have any dealings with. They'd rather destroy you, to make their white boss happy, than help you. Most times when I ring the customer service of any company and I hear the naija accent - I always lock off. I'd rather let a white cashier attend to me at a bank, than a Nigerian because of the stupid questions they ask most times. And most of them are just rude for no reason. However, there are tons of good Nigerians out there. And I'm happy being around Nigerians most times. That said, my point is: you need to experience something to be able to talk about it. Ever heard about "white experience", "black experience", "asian experience", etc..? Whoever is fascinated by you now is doing so because of your naivety. You're still grateful for leaving Nigeria, for a better place. So you won't be able to discern things. However, with time, perhaps after a decade when you start feeling American, with a sense-of-entitlement - and start getting the negro-wake-up card - you would understand better. Everything happens in phases. I'm just saying this to you as a brother because you better watch-out before you become a victim. You just need to be vigilant and not get too relaxed because the same white person laughing with you now would be the first to get the feds on you, trust me. I've nothing against white folks. I'd say white folks have done more for me than black folks. The good ones would risk everything they've got and put everything on the line, to help you. However, it's better to study people and know how to relate to them. Than be naive. In summary, what I'm saying is that due to the fact that you're new in the system and you don't expect much - but you're getting more than enough. Life has to be sweet. However, as time goes on, when you start getting into the system - and sense-of-entitlement starts getting involved. Your expectations would start to increase and it would be three-times what you would get back in return. When that time comes, that's the negro-wake-up call. 2 Likes |

shymexx: Now we are talking. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't hang around Nigerians either because the are crabs in a bucket. Horrid people. African Americans are even worse. They are the worst of the entire bunch. I get your point about white people though. Don't ever let them catch you slipping or doing stupid shyt cos they will sell you out in a heartbeat. They are not angels but I like their attitude though: They give you what you deserve. My Nigerian experience (as most Nigerians are experiencing) was not a pleasant one. When I weigh life here in US with life in Nigeria, I think I prefer it here because things here actually work unlike Nigeria where everything is done through backdoor, runz, koni-koni or egunje (bribe). I get your point though. I always watch my back, I don't get too comfortable and I do my own shyt and go my way. I live a simple content life here and I am happy. Thanks for the heads up though. ![]() |
