Meestique: Oh Goodness! Exactly what was said when HIV came. Has it occured to u dat had it been so, they would av had the cure before-hand?
Of course I have, they won't just hand over the cure like that! They will want to make billions or trillions of dollars(at d expense of peoples lives) b4 they make d cure readily available. Look this world is full of conspiracies. Its all about d money for some.

My brother that is the bane of we blacks. We are only interested in enjoyment and merriment and let others do the hard work for us. After all we have oil, gold and diamond in the soil to sell to the hard working Europeans and Asians.

It is embarassing that it is Europeans and Asians that is thinking about solving our problems. They help US invent drugs for malaria even though it is purely black mans disease, the same for Sickle Cell Disorder and now they are working hard at solving our Ebola disease. You wonder what they do in our universities and research institutes.
Are we really enjoying? Billions of naira spent on CCTV, which was contracted to a Chinese but it didn't work and we could say nada angry Can the Chinese do that in their country? and is it that there is no university or company that could install those things? Sometimes ago, FG went to Britain to buy plastic waste bin for Abuja (during the time of late Madam Dora as the info minister!) with the excuse that those things could not be found in Nigeria and today we can not see anything again resembling plastic waste bin in Abuja!
What exactly is our problem?

Potential Cure they say !!!!!!!!!!!

Well as sad as it is, our government have not finished looting our tresuries so they won't have time to set up a research like dat. And for the US gov sponsoring d research, they tend to reap billions once d cure is found. Its all business.

I have thought about the black race so much and seriously, i wonder who we are.
Few years ago, one of the inventors of the DNA structure stated that the blacks are not as intelligent as the other races. He was suspended and punished by the USA.
But then, please let's face it: what exactly is the problem of the black race? Slavery is long gone now, but many of us are still mentally enslaved; We hold unto elective positions and refuse to step down even when the electorates say so; as if we are only free when we rule.
Our best hands are leaving our land, foreign companies in our land employ some of the few brilliant ones available; we continue to enrich the strangers; Because, often times, they even treat the blacks better than the way the blacks treat their fellow blacks. Our best hands would rather work for organisations than start up something on their own and employ people. We always take the easy way out... Proffering short term solutions to very long term problems.
Watch how Africans, particularly the black people, perform in sports...

We need a PERSPECTIVE CHANGE.... Africans must grow from dependence to interdependence. Freedom should be viewed as a state of the mind rather than being the absence of chains or presence of money and power. Unnecessary appetite for public funds and resources must be killed.

I am a black man, so please, no offence is intended. We only need to work on our mentality.

We have a faulty educational system and no amount of money can solve it

d way i see it, our main problem is over-selfishness.....a mentality of ''everyman for himself'' is what ails us, n frankly, i dont see any paradigm shift happening in dis generation.
Re: Scientists Have Found A Potential Cure For Ebola by showbantu(m): 4:07pm On Jul 29, 2014
n 1976, Ebola (named after the Ebola River in Zaire) first emerged in Sudan and Zaire. The first outbreak of Ebola (Ebola-Sudan) infected over 284 people, with a mortality rate of 53%. A few months later, the second Ebola virus emerged from Yambuku, Zaire, Ebola-Zaire (EBOZ). EBOZ, with the highest mortality rate of any of the Ebola viruses (88%), infected 318 people. Despite the tremendous effort of experienced and dedicated researchers, Ebola's natural reservoir was never identified. The third strain of Ebola, Ebola Reston (EBOR), was first identified in 1989 when infected monkeys were imported into Reston, Virginia, from Mindanao in the Philippines. Fortunately, the few people who were infected with EBOR (seroconverted) never developed Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF). The last known strain of Ebola, Ebola Cote d'Ivoire (EBO-CI) was discovered in 1994 when a female ethologist performing a necropsy on a dead chimpanzee from the Tai Forest, Cote d'Ivoire, accidentally infected herself during the necropsy.

Can't you see he is the problem with blacks, How a normal black person that hasn't contribute nothing to better the black race ask such question.

Is it a crime if he study to be a researcher/ scientist?

Study to be a researcher in Nigeria? You think research is cheap. You think one person sitting in his house struggling to get food, water and shelter for himself and his family carry out any meaninigful research. When even doctors and professors in our universities have done nothing.

You are still confirming the black mans problems. Thinking only on individual level and never on institutional terms.Research is an institutional endeavour. A society that values progress and development priroritize research. It starts from its educational policy of equiping children with proper inquisitive mind and giving them the required tools and knowledge. The Nigerian educational goal is to enable you get certificates to enable you work in a white collar job. It does not train you to understand how things work

You sir i totally understand your point and i can tell you there are very good researchers in nigeria.

The problem Nigerians are having is Laziness and i can defend that. Many Nigerians wants a government job, many do not want to take risk like a normal entrepreneur or spend time researching about the unseen all we want is that every month salary or be thugs for politicians. Apart from the few i have seen here on nairaland that want to start up a business, they too still blames the federal government for everything.

Its not about the university but its about your will be study "rocket science". Even parent of these day want their children to become either an engineer, doctor, lawyer or An army. Imagine in a class of 50 students no one want to be a researcher because there is no money involved they say.

So lets not blame our learning institutions lets face the real problem. If you doubt me open a thread on nairaland on researchers only and see how many people will comment reasonable thing. But forsure you will see something like
"Abeg who get small pin charger" or "diaris God ooo"
