AjanleKoko:

Nonsense.
In that case, even Australians, Arabs, Asians, etc, even the people living in Florida, Arizona and Las Vegas should be daft, abi?

PeeDaVinci:

@Redsun: Sorry Dude, the assertions you made in your post clearly shows that you are the first victim of your scorching sun theory coz u no well, a large percentage of rational thinking capacity has been melted away by the sun shining on you(at wherever you are)

Jakumo:

Interesting angle, Redsun.    There is a lot of truth to the theory that the tropical sun, coupled with long annual seasons of sweat-inducing high humidity, does in fact sap human energy, both physical and mental.

The Mexican siesta time of day sees much of Latin America kicking back and snoozing through the hours when that mean old sun gets hot enough to make them beg for their next breath.  Africa is no different, as most forms of strenuous outdoor activity taper off by 2pm every day.  Any visitor to a Nigerian government office building will notice that most employees spend afternoons either absent, or with their heads on their desks while the air conditioner, if functional and generator-powered, runs full blast.

The cumulative effect of losing half of each day's economic productivity, summed over population generations and across entire geographical landmasses, is no doubt a contributive ingredient perpetuating the historical discrepancy that exists in the rate at which civilization and technology have evolved in the pioneering industrialized West, whose constituent nations are largely concentrated in the cooler Northern Hemisphere, and the lagging Third World, whose laundry list of beggar and basket-case nations sprawl accross planet Earth's hotter equatorial belt.

After all this writing, I need to take a nap.

@Redsun

Another self hate thread eh. . .

why do u still come here and hang with Africans

u should go find an eskimo,Scandinavian and other such blogs and chill with them(No pun intended)

If u know your history(which i doubt)(
u will know that the Africans were the first humans(homo sapiens),on this earth?

Without us developing the brain to survive and thrive,there would have been no other race of ppl on earth

e.g your oyibo(European) neanderthals.were just too dumb to survive and hence died out

Also humans lived in Africa for 2/3rds of their time on earth. . . developing modern methods of farming,culture,language and so on

while u are at it. .while not go and marry a blonde blue eyed oyibo to make u feel better

Just be ready to stand with her when her face starts to develop deep wrinkles at only 30yrs old

when she looks 60 but is only 40
and when she cant step outside without sunscreen. . or yea,your oyibo cannot survive in the sun,the source of life on earth. .

Cohomology:

@redsun,

You have a point but it's a bit more complex than you may think. See http://pvhramani./2010/03/02/why-are-we-in-the-tropics-underdeveloped-and-poor/.

For a more balanced and detailed theory read Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies.

I've always been troubled by the imbalance in world development, but after reading the above book, it was clear to me. Nobody has done a better job than Prof. Diamond on this topic!

Following your view, I think the sun's effect on the brain is accumulated over many generations and the interaction of the sun and other factors that exist in the tropical belt (some of them cause by the sun, e.g. deserts) creates a complex picture of how development is affected by the sun's heat.

By and large I agree with the theme of your submission.

I love very much who i am as a blackman,nobody can be more african than me,but it baffles me every minute of the day when i think of us as a people that are systematically invalid with nothing tangible to offer ourselves,talkless of the world.We always have to depend on the mordern day whiteman man for our survival,not ever thinking of using our initiatives in working out ways to make our race distintive,proud and independent.All we do is loot and destroy our natural endowments as if we are plaque  with self-destructive mental disorder.

Where are  those instincts for initiatives and doing the right?

paddy_lo:

[b]U are basically saying with your thread that there is something deficient in your brain because u are black
If u dont see how grotesque that is then u are living in a white mans fools paradise. .

U say black people are systematically invalid,  . .what the hell does that mean?

If u live in EUROPE and dont understand how the monetary system of the world works,then u have not even begun
IF The FEDERAL RESERVE in the USA can print $1trillion dollars today and pump it into the USA economy
how does that affect AFRICA. . .and how is AFRICA positioning itself to attract that capital into its economies
that is the issue that should concern u the most. . .

The white man u eulogize is probably the most self/natural environment destroyer on the planet. . but its all good to u

u think that the money britian is spending in its budget this yr it actually has it?
u think the USA actually has all the trillions its spending?

dude wake up and understand the world around u. . . .i am a capitalist
but i am also a realist and i know that the so-called first world economies have used financial engineering and the dollar Reserve system to bully their way to the top

Its ok. . i have studied the system and i understand how it works. . .This system was being built up in the 1960s when most of Africa was not even independent

The issue at hand now is that African countries are beginning to use this system to their advantage
attracting capital and developing their economies

Forget the oil money or whatever u think Nigeria has. . .The way to develop rapidly
is to attract yearly a part of that trillions of dollars printed with a keystroke in the computer into our economy. . . .

and it is happening. . . .but u are too blind to see it. . .
The same west that is falling apart right now,while Africa and Asia grow at 5% plus. . . .

paddy_lo:

@Redsun

I am sorry i cant help u. . u are too far gone/ brainwashed by the white man

U live in the matrix and u are blinded by it

Most white ppl i come across are living bland meaningless lives
That is why they commit the most suicide. . .

It doesnt matter if they are teenage,young teen or old. . .They are all almost existing and going through the motions

Compared to Africans back home that i know,that have a real zest for life and living

There is nothing on earth that will make me wish for Nigeria to be like the west
This place is souless and the people that reside here have no happiness in their lives. . .

Keep living the fools paradise. . . .

Beaf:

Funny minds like Redsuns that have accepted a self imposed third class status in human society, would no doubt argue that the Great Zimbabwe was not built by black people (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Zimbabwe);



[size=33pt]Shame on you![/size]

It is not about being like ostentatious white people but  about being able to feed our children without having to beg for aids,like paupers,doesn't it make u cry?it is about having the basics of life like human beings without majority having to leave off scraps like rats,it's about discussing objectives issues and making constructive plans for the betterment of all,not about the nonsense and the irrelevant issues we discuss here,of which leaders is stealing money than the other,of which thief is better to be elected as the president even when we all know they are all retarded thieves,yet we are bent on following them.It takes functional brains to have good leadership

Meddler:


But then again redsun if you're theory holds up, why is it that most African are more successful outside the country? Even more successful than their black counterparts in that country case in point- America?

redsun:

That is the problem of people like u,u live in the past while your own short time is slipping disastrously and ''retardedly'' through your fingers?What will history speak of your generation?paupers generation.

EzeUche:

What about the great empires of India, Persia and Egypt?

What about the Aztec and the Incas in the Americas?

These were advanced civilizations?

What about GREAT ZIMBABWE?

Beaf:

Oh, have you dropped the "Scorching Sun" argument? Because I can assure that the sun shone as brightly on those ancient Zimbabweans as it shines on us today.

Stop making self defeating arguments. If you are a third class human, I am not. This generation of Africans is wretched for one reason only; the sort of inferiority complex expressed by people like you. It shows in different ways, from those who name their kids Van Iyke or Donatus to those who believe they are slightly more than monkey men. Free yourself, you are lost.

What the new generation African needs is inspiration and direction, not the chaos and despondence that depressed minds like yours can offer; so please, waka!

redsun:

Inspirations that will be given to them by your rogue role models.

Do you blame some sceptical white people for coming up with the theory that the ancient ruins of zimbabwe was built by some lost white tribe,since the present africans don't have the kind of innovational instincts and ingenuity that was exhibited in the ruin?I don't really blame them,we are not living up to that kind of genetical legarcy as a people

Beaf:

When people like you claim to be little more monkeys, why wouldn't your level of ingenuity be the same as that of a monkey?
YOU and your type are the biggest problem for the new generation African; your name if Fredrick John and you feel so inferior that your son is named something like "Napoleon". You look at the traditions of your own people and call them devilish and barbaric, while wearing your most polished clothes to the church and mosque. Pity.

The sun doesn't seem to have blasted the brains of the makers of such stools.

redsun:

I am just the total opposite of your analysis,i think u are the monkey minded,since you can see that u are in a monumental sh-it and u are not in anyway heading towards the direction for total cleansing.It is sad but it is the raelity of life.

Meanwhile Ghana is just making me proud right now,i hope they beat these motherfuckers like they did to the american.Ghanians are beginning to feel the consciousness of humanity.

Beaf:

Oh, maybe Ghana is shaded away from the scorching African sun!

You are the monkey, you have admitted the same over and over and over on this thread. Those struck stup!d with an inferiority complex caused by an identity crisis, always think they it is their right to be consoled for their verbal farts. Well, a verbal fart is just what it is, it stinks! But then, the village id!ot too thinks he is smart.

redsun:

You are bitter with yourself for your inherent stupidity just because i am pointing it out to u,but like i said,it s the fact of life,u have to learn to take it for u to be able to deal with if not u will remain in limbo and u will be making something big out your local champion stupidity
