Rossikk: Since I joined Nairaland, I've always known you as someone who loves excuses, blaming others for your predicament and most obviously supporting ineptitude in Africa. I'm surprised you didn't blame the white man for the pic. Here are pictures from an important street in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State - an oil producing state - which Japan doesn't have. Who do you blame? The white man? ![]() 1 Like

harmbhrosz:Sorry, but fixing a road as damaged as that in 6 days flat, requires advanced technology which in itself is tied to heavy funding, which is tied to GDP. Have you asked how that road was fixed and what it cost to fix it in 6 days? No? Well, start from there before attacking Nigeria. Let's assume it cost $50 million to fix it. If you were the Works minister in Nigeria, with an annual budget of say $400 million, do you realise you would be crazy to pay $50 million to fix that road in 6 days, rather than say $5 million for a 6 week job? And if you made the intelligent 2nd choice, how would you feel if some uninformed, insolent kids on Nairaland started insulting you for not completing the job in 6 days, 'like in Japan'? |

Rossikk: Mr excuses. I knew you must find one excuse to blame the ineptitude in Africa on the white man. Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Brazil, Thailand and Nigeria had same in common during the '50s and' 60s, where are they today? Where's Nigeria? Honestly, can Nigeria be compared to South Korea of today? Singapore got her independence in 1965, Nigeria had hers in 1960. Both nations underwent turmoil, economic crises, tribal warfare etc. However, as of November 4th 2016, Singapore has uninterrupted power supply but Nigeria that possess crude oil doesn't have same - Singapore refines more oil than Nigeria, even though she doesn't have a drop of liquid. Who do you blame for such? The white man? Even when Lee Kuan Yew finished from Cambridge University and Balewa finished from UCL. ![]() The problem of Africa lies with Africans. Learn to take responsibility for your actions. Japan doesn't possess crude oil, but she can never have that kind of road I passed through today in an oil producing state capital. Imagine the city of Nagoya having a road as such ![]() ![]() BTW, has Cap28 been deported by Theresa May Brexit? ![]() 3 Likes |

Gerrard59:Slaveboy, Who mentioned 'white man' here except you? Go and read about how the west deliberately created the 3 or 4 Asian Tiger economies as capitalist bulwarks against communism after WW2, by granting them access to western markets, capital, and technology transfer, before assuming they did it all in their own. If they are 'superhuman', how come their brothers and neighbours like Cambodia, Nepal, Burma, Vietnam, Bhutan, Mongolia, Laos, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc, are still mired in poverty and underdevelopment? Why are they not all like Singapore? If your racial nonsense is true, they should all be advanced, not just a few. 2 Likes |

Rossikk:No one is attacking Nigeria, we're simply saying truth of how bad our governments are. See how it works over there, construction companies over there do have maintenance deal with the government based on location so when there is any damage on their road, the maintainance company does the repair with immediate effect. Not unlike Nigeria that even old Federal roads has derailed to an unacceptable stage. And they have to stall every project that concerns the masses And forget about the money, because Nigeria has the money but greed is killing us I didn't actually buy the "6 days" crap but our leaders are incompetent in every way. A country that is the number 8 most populous nation in the world where over 70% of it cities don't even have steady/functioning street light in 2016, is this how it's meant to be? |

Ugosample: Such GARBAGE. A sign that you have read something, but you are not WELL READ (Big difference). For your information, Mobutu was a US stooge, and a blatant IMPOSITION on Zaire, and he was most certainly no progressive a la Lee Kwan Yew. He was put there to make sure Zaire remained a primary product export economy, as is their intention for Africa, ie to produce raw materials for export, NOT for internal processing and value addition. Before Mobutu - an army illiterate - was imposed on Zaire by the US to destroy the Zaire economy and turn it into a playground of western interests, that country had a PROPER, elected leader called PATRICE LUMUMBA, who was highly popular, and was on his way to turning Zaire into a virtual EL DORADO, until he was assassinated by agents closely tied to the CIA. This is even declassified information which the US openly admits to. Many conscientious, progressive African leaders who would have fast-tracked African development after independence were either assassinated or deposed by western-backed elements. Thomas Sankara, Murtala Muhammed, Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Muammar Ghadaffi, the list goes on. Those that replaced them were intimidated and essentially became puppets of the western powers. That is the TRUTH. To be a 100% true African leader, you will battle not just against your opponents at home, but your (very powerful and influential) opponents abroad. So please, go and study more. You don't really know what is going on in this world. This is from the Guardian UK: ''Patrice Lumumba, prime minister of newly independent Congo, was the second of five leaders of independence movements in African countries to be assassinated in the 1960s by their former colonial masters, or their agents. A sixth, Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, was ousted in a western-backed coup in 1966, and a seventh, Amilcar Cabral, leader of the west African liberation movement against Portugal of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde, (Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde or PAIGC) in Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde, was assassinated in 1973. Lumumba's death in 1961 followed on from that of the opposition leader of Cameroon, Felix Moumie, poisoned in 1960. Sylvanus Olympio, leader of Togo was killed in 1963. Mehdi Ben Barka, leader of the Moroccan opposition movement was kidnapped in France in 1965 and his body never found. Eduardo Mondlane, leader of Mozambique's Frelimo, fighting for independence from the Portuguese, died from a parcel bomb in 1969. The loss 50 years ago of this group of leaders, who all knew each other, and had a common political project based on national dignity, crippled each of their countries, and the African continent. The effects are still evident today.'' https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/poverty-matters/2011/jan/17/lumumba-50th-anniversary-african-leaders-assassinations |

Rossikk: I know all that story,, no be only you sabi read. The U.S. foreign policy of the 1960s was to contain communism, not ruin African countries per se. If Mobutu invested in his country with all that money that he got from outside as bribe not to swing east, he would not have been deposed at all. I know all about Patrice Lumumba, heck, my house mate currently is from DRC, but how singular crime was leaning towards the east, and that is why he got deleted principally, not because he wanted to develop his country. Even in Nicaragua it was the same thing. Leaders who leaned towards Russia got deposed, simple, whether you were developing your country or not, that is your headache.

Ugosample: MORE GARBAGE. The west's prosperity is DEPENDENT on regions like Africa remaining primary commodity exporters and consumers of western manufactured imports, and western services, including financial services. It's been that way for CENTURIES. They do not have the same agenda with regard to Asia - for obvious reasons - Asia lacks the primary commodities Africa is endowed with. You simply have not studied the world the way it operates. You are blinded by your inferiority complex which defines issues according to 'skin colour' and race, as opposed to what is really at issue - interests. |

Rossikk: I know all these *smiles* The game is an old game. Use greedy and disgruntled people in a country to betray their own country, and sell it to the foreign business interests, that has always been the thing. The one that pained me the most is Sankara, who to me is the best leader Africa ever had (forget that criminal Gadaffi) He loved his country and was steering it towards the right direction, until the elite class in Burkina conspired with France to depose him. The whites know our nature as greedy and selfish people who like power more than anything, that is why they keep doing what they do Let me give you an instance With the trillions of dollars at the disposal of the gulf States, that is more than enough to influence politics in European countries, hire mercenaries to depose governments and other shady things like that, and if it was possible to be deposing and controlling European leaders like that, don't you think that they will like such power? But they can't because most of these leaders are loyal to their countries, and will not just ruin it over a piece of porridge But what do you have in Africa? ![]() ![]() Many who are willing to sell their countries To cut a long story short, this thing is two sided, and you must acknowledge it. But as usual, you blame whitey |
