obedience4: I apologize for the abrupt interjection, we as Africans have no one to blame for our shortcomings but ourselves. We can try to debate this all year long but at some point we'll have to agree we have no one else to blame but ourselves. However, I'm of the opinion that you trying to downplay the word "colonialism" is one of the greatest disservice to our great continent. If the good people of Jewish decent can still talk about their ordeal or simply put " the Holocaust", I see no reason to downplay or whitewash the hardship our forebears went through. Furthermore, to my bemusement, this subject matter was one way or the other absent in our school curriculums. To the best of my knowledge, it was barely spoken of or taught, I fear the coming generations would know nothing about these heinous act or the gravity of the subject ( that would explain your notion). In conclusion, I urge you to retract your last paragraph, as it contains elements of revisionism. The British conquest in Nigeria and Africa as whole was despicable, the Jewish people didn't forget about the Holocaust, we as Africans need not forget. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Procashtips: Iran combine Islamic system of government, theocracy, democracy amongst others. Like I said previously, it mustn't be democracy, practice whatever systems that fits your society, even if it mean combining 3 systems. If there is any part of democracy or Islamic system that fits your society take it. I think the only good thing about democracy is election where people can choose who leads them. |

⚡Endless irresponsibility in Europe — Hungarian PM Orban “Europe is so drawn into the war that it does not even have an estimate of the amount of costs and means necessary to achieve the military goal it has set. I have never seen anything more irresponsible in my life,” Hungarian PM Viktor Orban said in an interview with the YouTube channel Patrióta. He added that he believes NATO is itching to get involved in the Ukraine conflict directly and that the alliance is refusing to listen to reason on the matter.

usmanpogo: Love your disposition on the subject matter, I didn't say we should forget about "colonialism" and also support that most people don't know the exploitation Africa endure during the hay days of colonial rule. And rightly should be enlighten on the things that happened in the past But my issue is why after so many year's why will Africans especially Nigerians still putting the blame on colonialism, For the underdevelopment, poverty, crisis on colonialism. No Africa country apart from south Sudan that isn't over 50 years as a independent sovereign state The Jewish state endured the holocaust, has that stop isreal from developing into one of the most technological country in the middle East. has the second-largest number of startup companies in the world after the United States and the third-largest number of NASDAQ-listed companies after the U.S. and China In conclusion do you know that Isreal even with the holocaust history, that after China, the USA, Germany is isreal biggest trading partner, so even though Isreal remember it's holocaust history, did that stop it from moving on and even having the same Germany as it's largest trading partner in Europe Cheers 2 Likes 1 Share |

⚡Kaya Kallas: Putin wanted to prevent me from becoming head of NATO "When we talk about different positions at the European level or in NATO, the main argument against me is that I am an anti-Russian provocateur. That’s why the Russians put me on this list to make it clear that I’m provoking them."

Ibime:Don't sound childish. ![]() BlackRock is a company, not a state. It is subject to state financial rules and regulations. If push comes to shoves and the governing state where it or it's subsidiaries operates introduce monetary policies that undermine the use of the dollar, BlackRock would simply have to comply, sell of its dollar holdings since it cannot use them overwhelmingly in its business dealings with certain clients and third parties. So, it's holdings are immaterial in terms of financial market regulations. Talk of the people that matters ... States and their financial regulating agencies and organizations. |

Appleyard: Talk materiality not caveman analysis This is what drives dollar demand, trillions of our pensions and savings being held by BlackRock and co, not few billions held by countries, not to mention the money held by individuals and companies who are transacting in dollar daily That's before we even get to other asset managers, 2 of whom individually hold more than all countries combined. 90% of BlackRock holdings are in America or Europe or friendly nations That's the materiality aspect, not to mention the fact that nobody in the world will hold their assets in Yuan, when Chinese themselves don't use Yuan but renmibi which is only for internal Chinese to use.. Two conditions always apply to the dominant currency of the world. It must be freely traded and the issuer must be the dominant naval power in the world. That has always applied whether it was the Roman Denarius, the Spanish Real, the British Pound or the American dollar and that's not changing anytime soon. You also think countries like India will take leadership from the Chinese who are their geopolitical enemies and constantly pressuring them with Pakistan and the likes. Don't let BRICS fool you, nobody trusts their future to the autocratic Chinese whose Government have few humanist values. 1 Like

Obedience40: Does the British, Danish, Norwish, Swedish, etc people get to choose who becomes their king or queen? Or the problem you have is because Iran calls their supreme leader and not king or queen? Apart from Democrat and Republican, can the American people pick anyone else ? Even within these 2, the owners of America decide who's selected from any of these 2 sides of a coin. The problem you have is a shallow mentality on how the world operates. You need to understand that virtually everything in the world system belong to the same plug, what differs is the name they're called. 7 Likes |

WHAT is the definition of DEMOCRACY According to the Marian Webster a : government by the people especially : rule of the majority b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections Key word there is the people When the ultimate power isn't vested in the people then it. isn't democracy Iran dose not practice any f**king democracy because the power isn't vested in the people the supreme leader of Iran who is the highest authority in Iran wasn't voted Or elected by the people |

Obedience40: And what's wrong with that? Do you think Sunak would make any big time decision in the UK without approvals from the royal house? Like I said, you are living life on the surface. Iran has chosen the system they want just as the US, UK and other chose theirs, how on earth is this an headache to you? Is Iran asking you to convert to their system? Who is actually going around the world trying to force others into practising their own system of government? Who is actually democratic in the sense of it? Abeg I get better things to do. 5 Likes |

usmanpogo: A very great point you made there. I didn't reply to his comment because I didn't even know where to begin. China and Singapore are bad examples. And as for Rwanda, it's even a worse example, especially considering he compared events that lasted centuries with one that lasted a few months. Genocides and colonialism are even two very different things with different intents, which makes them more incomparable. Colonialism is one of the many evils the Europeans committee against Africans. Colonialism on its own is just one of three: - The first was slavery - The second was colonialism - And the third is neo-colonialism All three are forms of slavery, subjugation and exploitation. All three kept -- and is keeping -- Africa poor. All three followed one another. When one ended, the other began. There isn't even a clear date to specify when one ended and the other began. The difference is just how they are used to steal from us. But the results is always the same for us and for the Europeans and now the United States. It keeps them richer and it keeps us poorer. Africa is currently poor because of neo-colonialism. And let's forget all that talk about our leaders being bad. Yep, they are bad. But they are the ones we are allowed to select from. The colonists and neo-colonists killed the good ones they had no control over. Then they give us the bad ones and tell us to choose. Anyone we choose, only ends up doing their bidding. And those who refused are soon kicked out and replaced with those who will do what they want. In all, African leaders did not make a good situation bad. They made a bad situation worse. 6 Likes 1 Share |
