Sigh..

No one is to be trusted. Power intoxicates

Even a Weah disappointed the electorates.

Can African leaders plead with the British and Americans to resume slave trade.

Seems its a viable option as at where Africa stands today.

They should just issue them licenses to be kidnapping us, so all we have to pray for is to be kidnapped

I told u people that blacks cant rule them selves and some people dey form motivational speech.

Tell me one black leader has been able to rule well. All of them have same thing: oppress their citizens, steal and loot endlessly, carry women and men and flex.

I am black but not a fan of blacks

zedman1:
Honestly, I personally don't believe the problem with this entire continent has to do with leadership. It's something bigger. Both the leaders and citizens are bad. Please don't mention any African country which you think is doing well with a 'good leader' , until you show me just one, I repeat, just one that is nearly as developed as say, America. I think there's something not good in the black man's head or skin - something somewhere. Else even the few African countries that are a bit developed are either occupied by light skinned Africans, e.g Northern Africa, or have a large presence or influence of white skinned people, e.g South Africa.

Rossinkup:


Ignorant, empty headed dunce.

I bet you can't even name 15 black countries without Google, never mind 15 ''black leaders''.

Or know the first thing about African history.

Just an empty headed dunce walking around and considering himself inferior.

Wasted education.

Rossinkup:


Your problem is that you are a dunce.

You see problems as explainable by magic.

Africa has problems, so it must be something about their skin colour.

How does one assess such low IQ, stupid, and dumb reasoning?

Do you even know what accounts for dark skin?

Ever heard of the word, MELANIN?

It is a chemical and a blessing from your Maker to protect you from the sun rays on the world's hottest continent.

Without that dark skin, you could not be alive today, as your ancestors would have perished thousands of years ago.

Europeans did not settle in West Africa for a reason. They develop terrible skin diseases from long term exposure to sunlight.

YOU are immune from that, being blessed with Melanin.

The whites who deceived you that your black skin is 'evil' or 'inferior', you should let go of their brainwashing now that you're an adult (presumably).

Oh, and America is developed, with an annual budget of 7.6 trillion dollars because her leaders genocided the native population, and brought in slaves at gunpoint to engage in forced free labour, for centuries. She maintains those riches today by invading other nations like Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Congo, Afghanistan etc, and killing millions of innocent people in order to corner their resources.

So it really makes no sense blindly adoring these 'developed' nations like a slave, without considering what they did to acquire their wealth.

Do you have a suggestion whom Africans should raid, loot, mass murder, and genocide to enrich ourselves overnight like America and Britain?

Princedapace:


hahahahahaa, black Africans are so good yet, black Africans are running to the same whites who colonized them for greener pasture. Blacks are even ready to die inside dangerous sea to escape the continent.

As usual, blacks will always allow sentiments to govern them. No wonder we will always sing black lives matter. Hahahaha, we sing it becus as a race, we have not been able to build our race. All we do is loot, loot, loot loot away our resources to white man's land. Up till today, blacks struggle to even solve electricity problem all becus they love to loot away their countries

Rossinkup:


There are even more Asians than blacks in those western countries, so does that also prove to your dumb head that Asians are 'inferior' to whites?

See, you have a low IQ, so you cannot reason beyond a 4 year old's intellect.

''Oh mummy. Those people are yellow and they are poor. Those other ones are white and they are rich. Therefore the white colour is better than the yellow colour! Oh look! The black people are so poor. Is that why they are black, mummy? Can you please change me to colour white mummy!''

That's it. toddler logic. How does one debate a person like you? It's impossible.




How many black nations have you visited out of the 60 or so in existence?

My guess is LESS THAN 3.

Beyond the fact that they are developing nations, you haven't the slightest clue about their current state, their rate of progress and development, their economic growth rates, their history, their leadership, and whatever has led them to their current situation. All you see is ''black = bad'' and ''white = good''.

So how does one debate a toddler like you?

It is impossible.

I said, engage me in a dabate. Since u are intelligent, u may win me over, right? I can assure that I will give you proper account.

Never ever blame colonialism.

We have all we need to develop but we are dam greedy. We steal and loot away our own resources to buy properties in Dubai, London, Paris, while our people lack health care.

Rossinkup:


But THIS was the situation BEFORE colonialism:

''With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’.'' The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century.

The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops”.

Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.

So if the ABOVE described PRECOLONIAL Africa, then, if you had a working brain, you would link the current decline in standards to the entry of external powerful forces that disrupted a working system, by forcing the populations to abandon those systems and embrace those practised in Europe.



So when things go wrong in the new imported systems, you don't go calling the people 'inferior' or blaming their skin colour, because they are not expert at 'copy and paste'.

Everything changed with colonialism. The way we hold our leaders accountable changed.

In the Oyo empire, if a king was found to be corrupt, he was ORDERED by his council (the Oyo Mesi) to commit suicide or go on exile.

We had real checks and balances that worked for thousands of years.

Today, what system do we practice? One that simply holds you to harmless bible oaths.

Imported, harmless rubbish.

Why would corruption not thrive?

Answer me that question.

So what YOU should be doing, if you were a real African intellectual as opposed to a self-hating coon who thinks he is 'inferior', is calling for political and social re-engineering of the people, to draw on our ancient strengths, and abandon foreign solutions.

You would not see it as ''blaming whites for our problems'', but as extricating blacks from theirs.

Princedapace:


The question is why did we have all that and still got defeated by the same whites? We overrated the so called development we had. If the development was that sophisticated, we would have been able to defend the aggressors.

Also, Ethiopia wasn't colonized like we were. So, why aren't they different?

Rossinkup:


The whites defeated EVERYONE THEY FACED. Indians, Arabs, Native Americans, Chinese, Africans, you name it.

The game-changer was GUNPOWDER, plus European moral emptiness and greed.

They learnt from the Chinese how to mix natural ingredients to make gunpowder.

The Chinese had been using the substance for religious ceremonies.

The noise of explosions sounded like a return of the gods.

There was limited military use in 'primitive' firelances.

At this time, Europe was the poorest region on Earth.

They must have felt the only way to change that, was to go on a killing and looting spree of the world.

But how could they? Every nation used bows and arrows and shields and swords, and had done so for THOUSANDS of years.

The discovery of gunpowder was manna from heaven for the Europeans.

For them, it was their route out of poverty.

They used it to make guns and bombs that could kill masses of people in no time.

This weapon changed EVERYTHING.

They suddenly had the power over every other race and people, which they never had prior.

The rest is history.



Ethiopia was invaded and occupied by Italy for decades. The Italians massacred thousands and even used chemical weapons against them in several conflicts. They later imposed European administrative systems, disrupting the original systems. That is why the Ethiopian parliamentary session looks like the ones in Rome.

Nevertheless, Ethiopia's socio-cultural systems have not been as severely eroded as Nigeria's, and you can see it when you visit.

Their life expectancy is 67 compared to Nigeria's 54.

They are also the 2nd or 3rd fastest growing economy in the world.

Forget Ethiopia pics and yeye data. That country is messed up. Take away that their capital, it is nothing to write home about.

All these u wrote, I read them before. The fact that they discovered it before others is a plus for them.

Also, decades after all these, why haven't we sat down to to refix things? We know our problems but looting has not allowed us to do so.

Take a loot at Tinubu now. He was talking of regional govt before but becus he wants presidency, he has changed his mouth. So why can't we have blacks who will stand on what they believe in?
