It's not that simple! The damage slavery and the subsequent colonialism did to the African psyche was massive! Add this to the systems and structures the selfish colonialists left behind in Africa when they left, and you'll see that the odds have been stacked way high against us! This is exactly how the 'superior' Europeans want things to remain: for us to always run to them for help and protection! They've structured the world economy to perpetuate this dependency we have for them, and when it looks like a great African nation is about to raise like a Phoenix from the ashes, they conspire and do the needful to crush it; of course with the active connivance of their misguided African helpers......kinda like we saw with Biafra! The greedy African elite that collected the reins of oppression from the departing Europeans were not too concerned about changing things because they were quite satisfied and comfortable with the status-quo! 7 Likes |

It would have been better to have used Abiola. Though, he was also corrupt but the man would have surely delivered. As for the foolish atheist that wrote this piece, the word of God is settled forever, if you follow the teaching of God, poverty would not be in existence. As God heard the voice of Israelites, so is he capable of making a situation for revolution in Nigeria. I wonder why some fòòls think God doesn't exist. I just wonder! |

The answer to your question is evident from the sort of response you already got in your post. One is defending the Colonists Gods while asserting that we should wait for that God to set things right , the other told you it depends but has no answer to exactly what it depends on. The illuminist told you frankly that you were wrong because Africa's problems were disease and starvation and God forgot to give us weapons to fight it ,also reminding you that South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria got their countries back (as if there were nations called South Africa,Kenya or Nigeria before colonial destruction started ) and you dare not oppose this stance. The next guy quite true to his Africanness does not understand the write up,does not have any input nor does he have any questions on the assertions but he certainly would bet his left leg that it was written by a black feminist. Here came the most interesting of all, he is against the people's mandate in the body of Biafra and at the same time tries to sell a CIA puppet as the Messiah. Put simply his only problem against the truth offered by IGBOSON is that it was TOO TRUTHFUL. On the OP i believe the writer was right, the colonists never left as many thought they just handed the reins to willing servants , i think the black man is a coward, afraid to effect a revolution, to exterminate the enemies within. I believe there is a solution through education, if the people make a stand that African education must be that; African, and we must teach our kids that which will turn them into brave and proud men ,our own history and our own ideology. The gains that the enemies of Africa has gained through colonialism will be systematically defeated. 5 Likes |

@op, it is false. the evidence on the ground is that we have overcome more odds than any other racial group, and somehow we have managed to spread to more than half the planet. tonychristopher: comparing an immigrant population to the local one always favors the immigrants. Its the same way Americans think Nigerians are more hard working thantheir native born black counterparts. Yet a Benin (the country) man in Nigeria will categorically tell you that Nigerians are lazy. your points have nothing to do with the topic at hand. 3 Likes |

I think a lot factors comes into play. Given the long history of slave trade, and perpetual distortion of African history by the colonialist to aid them in further exploiting us, has put the African man in total jeopardy. This is a deliberate attempt by the White Supremacist structure to keep Africa under perpetual servitude. A progressive super black nation which will unite the black race, as a people and nation is frowned upon by the White supremacist. Such a development will not sit well with them, as that would mean FULL STOP to NEOCOLONIALISM. I keep emphasizing the need for the Black race, to unite as a people and nation then only would we make significant progress and get the respect we deserve from other race and nation. I want to quickly appreciate the efforts of erudite Pan Africanist on this forum, like Cap28, Thoth, Igbo2011, Horus and GenBuhari who keep spreading the word, and enlightening the uninformed African people. If the black race doesn't unite now, we risk facing total extermination in 500 years, by the white supremacist power structure. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

We maybe down now but we could still be on top tomorrow. If you find two men fighting you would be premature to label any man weak just because he is on the ground with the other man on top of him. As long as he continues to fight he may still demonstrate his strength and get back on equal terms with his opponent. We are strong because we have endured a lot and are still in the fight. In the literal sense we are physically strong. [size=18pt]100m final - 100% African men![/size] [img]http://savoiaonline.files./2012/08/bolt-51.jpg[/img] igbo2011: |

Its not just African men. Its Black Americans as well.. We are currently having issues with white police officers shooting down unarmed black kids. Yea, we will march for awhile then eventually it will die out. That's weak to me. There is so much more we can do as a group and we don't. The problem is that we don't care enough about each other. Black Americans like to refer to each other as "brothers" yet we act the opposite at times. We need to go back to the days of Martin Luther King. The people are a resemblance of their leadership or a lack thereof. I think that's the problem with the continent of Africa. Im a outtsider looking in but that's what I see. I am in the U.S. Army and have worked with many soldiers who immigrated from Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Cameroon just to name a few. The people must demand leaders that represent them. Not the leeches that you guys have. The question is how bad do you want it? When Africans recognize their true potential then they will be better off. 2 Likes 1 Share |

thoth: This is a great thread. When Mouamar Ghaddaf of Libyai, Idi Amin of Uganda and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe stood up against the colonialists, they were used as scape goats to serve as deterrent to future pan Africanists. Zimbabwe has been humbled through economic warfare but Mugabe has lived on to old age and kept his country intact. Ghaddafi was always labelled all sorts of names in the past but once he made moves to unite Africa, Libya was brought to its knees and Ghaddafi killed with the support of some stupid Africans. |
