ednut1:While some of his assertions maybe correct, many were coloured by his own prejudices. Many African societies were pretty well organised. Without any contact with Europeans or Asians. The Romans wrote worse about other Europeans that they dismissed as Barbarians. Nubians were black and went to conquer Egypt and ruled as black Pharaohs. Something Europeans of 1926 when Lugard wrote would have archeologically dismissed. About same time Lugard was writing, Hitler dismissed Jews as an inferior race. An ancient people with a superior history of civilization than the Germans. Today Jews are the richest and most influential people per head in the world. Over 100 years before Lugard wrote, Toussaint L'Ouverture led Haitians to defeat the French. Haitians worked hard to win and their incentive was freedom. Which was and is priceless. Remember that until about 40 years ago, maybe only 25% of Africans were educated in Western terms. It affected how we processed our history. India alone has more deities than Africa. They were mostly polytheistic too. Not just pantheistic. It's not so much how others define you that matter. It's what we do with ourselves. Currently we practice a political system alien to us. We have other people's religions. These are forms of colonialism that most Africans have not even realised. 7 Likes |

abbey621: That’s my point. As organised and democratic and as economically thriving as Botswana, the Negro community of the United States or Brazil, cannot point to Botswana as evidence of a Black nation being able to govern itself and thrive. They are just too small. Ghana’s making strides, but it’s not made the African American community in the US more respected. Nigeria would have, if it was a serious country. Nigeria isn’t. The white man fears strength. Hence, for their racism, the Indian or the Chinese in the US would always be respected. A strong Nigeria would have released a statement that would cause the racist white man in the US to reflect. 4 Likes |

Gerrard59: People who celebrate socialism or its similtudes are simply lazy folks. Capitalism, for all its defects, is the singular system upon which the hugely economically successful 21st century is predicated upon. From Nairobi to Johannesburg to Lagos to Aba, the argument leans towards jobs and infrastructure that supports these jobs and not handouts. |

madridsta007: The Indians are more disrespected than you know, they only use them when they are useful but to the US community at large, Indians are seen as gas station owners. The Chinese the same way, they are seen as really smart dudes but socially they are mocked. Nigerians in the USA are also hailed in certain sectors especially sport medicine and cultural schemes. Racism in America is beyond just whites, it's beyond just one nation, it is a mixture of conscious and unconscious bias. In fact, here in 9ja we are guilty of racism as well because tribalism is the offspring of racism. In the USA, you ask a black man are you african, he'll say no, I don't come from Africa, I'm African American, I'm Carribean, I'm Jamaican, they'll say anything to separate themselves from their true origin. This is what gives racism so much power, lack of identity and unity, a country like Nigeria cannot and will not bring unity when it is divided in itself. Can you expalin what unites us? What does a Yoruba man have in common with a Fulani woman? What does an Edo woman have in common with someone from Bauchi? We are only Nigerians by name, what divides us is much much more than what actually unites us, it was a mistake from the start and honestly I see no path forward except mutual disintegration or forceful revolution.

xxxXXXxxx: Just seeing this, I changed it when I was in the university and about to graduate. So I started practicing aptitude tests in preparation for post-university life and mehn, I was shocked by the amount of math these tests had considering my discipline was largely non-math based. I practiced SHL, GMAT, McKinsey's PST, Saville, Workforce tests etc. Initially, I found them so hard considering the long years I touched a math material and current degree background. Additionally, during my mini investigation of fresh graduates in the job market where I worked after university, I discovered that the obstacle was not poor grades (I met persons with excellent grades who could not go to the next stage due to failing aptitude tests), course of study (largely unconsidered these days due to varied nature of entry-level jobs) or university (although it affects some but mostly unimportant provided other criteria are fulfilled), so I believed it was very important that current university students need to learn mathematics, at least the very basics. I did it as I had to go back to study mathematics from junior secondary school to senior secondary to grasp a fair understanding of the subject. That said: I recall last year's quarrel South Korea had with Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%932020_Japan%E2%80%93South_Korea_trade_dispute It deteriorated so badly which made China & the US to wade in settling the issue. Tourists from Korea to Japan reduced, they boycotted Japanese companies' products (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Muji Holdings, Fast Retailing, Korean Air cancelled travels for routes in both countries etc.) and their bottomline got affected, economic growth of both countries receded, stock markets plummeted etc. Business leaders from the United States wrote to both countries pleading with them to reconcile because of their importance in global chip/electronics/chemicals' production value chain. You think it is because those US' executives love Koreans and Japanese that made them write letters? Or you think Koreans and Japanese love themselves? They don't but the least they do is respect as both countries (esp Japan) know the consequences for any form of disrespect. This boycott never happened at this level when Korea was poor while Japan almost eclipsed the US to be the world's largest economy 30 years ago. But it started getting serious when Korea(ns) became rich and had the eleventh largest economy in the world. I wager that if the vast majority of Sub-Saharan countries are as rich as South Korean and Malaysia combined, we can demand for reparations from every country that enslaved black people in whatever form and we would get paid. With wealth comes power and with power, you can talk when others are talking. Japan spoke 1, South Korea retorted loudly with 2 and everyone got affected. The black race should be rich to reduce racial discrimination and that can only happen when the dominant environment (SSA) is rich. 4 Likes |

Gerrard59: Aha! I realise you have an exceptional penchant for making false analogies!! Since you are good at dropping links without understanding them, DID you read that JAPAN ANNEXED ( annexation, or the transfer of political sovereignty over a chunk of land to a new state) Korea turning it into a colony? Till their rule of Korea ended in 1945 after the ww2 loss? Did you also read that at the centre of this allegation that you are calling "quarrel" is about Japanese occupation of the Korean peninsula from 1910 to 1945 (war), particularly the use of forced labour. And it being a period of war, anything and human rights are bound to be violated? Likewise Austrian hungary annexation, France Tahiti annexation, Portuguese Indian annexation etc. FFS where in that article did you read that the events was as a result of racism? Or you now regard annexation as racism? Because at this stage there is no postulation we have not heard from you. It is entirely a countries decision to sue its colonial masters for damage and exploitation of resources. OGA GERRARD NO WHERE IN THIS STORY HAVE WE SEEN A CASE OF ANTI KOREAN RACISM in Japan. For one they are both Asians! Gerrard59: Oga you dont need to be Rich as a country who has suffered being under colonial rule to demand reparation! The first treaty in 1965 had Japan out of post war and "mutual respect" provide more than $800m (£620m) in Japanese financial help to Korea. AND DO NOT BE DECIEVED THIS PERIOD (1965) WAS JUST FOLLOWING THE KOREAN WARS AND SOUTH KOREA WAS ONE OF THE POOREST COUNTRIES WITH A GDP PER CAPITA OF 79$. IT WASNT UNTIL INDUSTRIALIZATION IN THE 80S THAT S.KOREA ECONOMY GAINED TRACTION. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_South_Korea Facts from history Boss not what I now term "Gerrard theories" Again you said Gerrard59: But all along you said in page 1 ![]() Gerrard59: And I also asked in page 2 for you to give links with dates in history where there were mass relocations from America by Asians or Asian Americans back to Asia for its development due to Anti-Asian Racism as you didnt reply it seems either it is another "Gerrard theory" or that my particular post did not submit ![]() When you can tell me when this silly idea of "mass relocation to a country or areas of racial dominance for development" has resolved Racism in history or examples of how wealth saved an already prejudiced people or race from racial provocations - Wealth and richness didnt save the Jews anti-semitism in America, it didnt save Armenians in Ottoman Empire. It didnt help the 1800 - 1900s Anti-Asian Racism in America. Then, when you can, we'll consider your points as a solution. Till then - they remain "Gerrard theories" Again, and I wont be tired of saying this. ![]() Africans can and should develop their continent if they wish. AAs have a different and unrelated Anti-Black racism struggle, they have already contributed to development of their continent and country. They dont need your help, you do your own. 3 Likes |

annex1:maybe you don't understand, here is the simple summary about is write up. A country who have a rich economy have a substantial for it's citizen. Even if a citizen of such country travels to other countries, they are catered for because of the valuable contributions they have globally. Where a Usa or Japanese passport will get me is different from the one Nigeria will get me to and not to even to talk about the power of their currency. It's a shame on us thats Ghanian currency is more valuable than ours, relating it to racism, it's everywhere but why don't we concentrate on building a rich economy and see how things will fall in place naturally.

Just saw that I had new commentators. ![]() Hotspotbro: Well, you start with the basics. Even powerful and rich Japan doesn't have nuclear weapons even though she can produce them in less than six months. Regarding pencil production, there is a facility that manufactures them somewhere in Akwa Ibom State. Prior to the recession, many Nigerians who worked in the tech industry abroad returned but they and other intellectwats masquerading as intellectuals voted Buhari, here we're. tony5: Nothing shameful on that provided we produce and export valuable goods in larger proportions than the Ghanaians considering our population. South Korea Won has less value than the naira which also converts to 4 naira with 1¥. Nigeria doesn't need a strong naira rather she needs constant electricity to drastically reduce the cost of production. 2 Likes |

annex1: In Brazil exist many racism but that is ridiculous. In Brazil all people have acess to free public schools. Black Brazilians have free condoms and contraceptive like all Brazilians. Black Brazilians have acess to public health like all Brazilians. We have respected black Brazilians singers and actors. Brazilians professionals like nursing, doctors, teachers treated black Brazilians very well. Of course exist much racism in Brazil society but that is not true the point 'Brazil is a satan of black people". How many countries in África getting free vaccines, free condoms, free public health, with a good doctors like Brazil? White Brazilians treated black Brazilians very well. Of course exist racism and many African Brazilians live in slums but not like the media portrays. We have here is a clear-cut example of media brainwashing. |

Gerrard59: A Chinese official posted a photoshopped picture of an Australian security personnel killing an Afghan, the Prime Minister of Australia demanded an apology which the Chinese have refused to offer. Rather, the Chinese raised levies on exports from Australia. The Aussies are currently in a of conundrum: wither security/historical ties with the US or economic survival with China? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/01/world/australia/china-australia-morrison-tweet.html The tweet: https://twitter.com/zlj517/status/1333214766806888448?s=20 (The tweet is pinned at the top of his profile even after the Aussie PM told Twitter to remove it). Meanwhile, the Chinese government ordered Weibo (China's version of Twitter) to remove Morrison's reply which the company did. Did China try same in the '90s and 2000s? No. Can an African country try same? No. In fact, Australia can ban students from Sub-Saharan African countries and nothing will happen but she dares not do same against the Chinese no matter the tensions both countries are facing. Only the US can do it which she tried but after seeing the losses backtracked. No one disrespects a rich person. 1 Like |
