I ain't no ignoramus on the issue you just raised.. I don't let logic come in my way when metaphysical issues are raised.. Shalom |

iamord: We are not intellectual inferior to them, the problem is that centuries of false indoctrine can not be wish away so easily. The good thing is that some are now waking up now, to realize their true nature and take their rightful place. We are the ancient Kings and Queens of the ancient of time... The wall of fallacy and error of civilization in which we are imprison is gradually crumbling, this accounts for recent surges among the white supremacy clique doing everything to forestall the coming forth of the Truth... 1 Like |

OrlandoOwoh: False. As a certain thread was closed down yesterday on the South African racist attacks I was alluding to the price Nigeria paid in the liberation struggle. Spare me a few moments and note the time lines. For starters it is well known that Yakubu Gowon was the last Nigerian Head of State to be received warmly and on equal terms in Bukingham Palace. After his ouster Nigeria under General Murtala took on the apartheid regime headlong. Nigeria became the pre-eminent voice of the international anti-apartheid movement. This pitted us in the UN and in other world capitals first against our colonial overlords Britain (strong backers of the racist regime) then the US (Britains ally). In the process we lost the 'special relationship' Europe has with her former colonies (the kind Francophone countries enjoy and other Anglophone countries such as Ghana, the Gambia and S/Leone). We have not recovered that till date. The late Murtala didn't care. He ramped up action, calling for boycotts of S/A and fuelling a new pan-african renaissance which led to FESTAC amongst others. Britain retaliated by dis-investing from Nigeria massively in most industries (except oil, obviously, and leading to the Lebanese and Indian influx of that period) . But this was beginning to hit our economy. By the time Murtala was assasinated and Gowon fled to his motherland Britain (I refuse to believe they had a hand in that but...) our economy was going down. Coupled with the low oil prices an infruriated Obasanjo nationalised all oil assets and kicked out all European IOC's. The backlash was bad and our economy tanked. We were effectively isolated to the world but our African stock stood higher than ever before. You know the west. They don't give up. The pressed and pressured for democracy as a panacea to our problems. Obasanjo caved in, Shagari stepped in and the money started flowing again. The summary is this. If not for Murtala's pan africanism Nigeria at worst will have had a standard of living at par with middle income South Africa. We lost so much in our fight against apartheid. We sacrificed our economy and relationships with the west for Africa. We turned from their friends to their rivals and had the misfortune of playing against some of the meanest presidents and prime ministers in America and the UK at that time. No it was not FESTAC that did us in. FESTAC was merely an expression of what grounded us. Pan-africanism. That is why OBJ remains highly respected in international circles as an african diplomatic warrior. That is how we got our honour as the giant of africa. Not by population or economy but by sacrifice and goowill. That is why he was brought back again in 1999 to get the anti-abacha foreign pro democracy sanctions off our backs. That is why he went roaming round the world trying to convince them Nigeria is back and loyal. But see what is happening to us and other africans in S/A. That is why it hurts so much. Can they restore our lost decades of development. They bring us MTN, DSTv and Shoprite. We had better than these foreign investments prior 1976. Can they replace the lost scholarships, grants and co-operation in many fields only restored during the Shagari era. Most importantly can the South Africans restore the unending mistrust between Nigeria and the West. No. If there was any spell cast on us it was the spell that made us look with compassion on Mandela and his co-travellers languishing hopelessly in prison and casting in our lot with the suffering people of South Africa and taking on a super-power on their behalf. These days it feels like a really bad spell. 5 Likes |

OrlandoOwoh:op, sometime last year while on evangelism, I met an elderly man, after sharing some thoughts with him, he asked me what book I was holding, the book had a picture of national theatre on it. The old man told me I should ask our leaders what they did at national theatre during Festac 77. Well, i didn't really read much meaning to it!! pls where did you hear yours from?? someone needs to investigate and correlate with the truth. |
