INFERIORITY COMPLEX... Nothing else. The Brain of an Average Nigerian Is wired to believe that he who speaks English fluently is more Intelligent and wiser... Sometime ago, I was demeaned by my tribeswoman for attending to her Child in our Native Language rather than English. 3 Likes |

mansakhalifa:Moronic assumption. Have you bothered to examine the responsibilities and burden these things place on locals? You need to be balanced in your analysis to avoid moronic assumptions like above. 1 Like |

Because as black we still exhibit that mental slavery behavior . That’s why we value anything from Oyinbo/Arab land And rubbish our own. |

Here's the thing though, those foreigners and pan Africans have a rose tinted view of Africa due to not having any solid culture to associate themselves with. They latch on to anything African in an attempt for forge an identity which is only related to them by the shade of brown they are born with. I personally find Pan-Africans irritating. Another view is that colonisation and Christianity/Islam has turned the artefacts into sinful idols lacking in purpose aside from leading men astray into the sinful "old ways of our ancestors". |

mansakhalifa:My friend there is every reason to feel inferior about being a Nigerian, it simply implies that we are all part of the problem of the country. Once you are a Nigerian, you are starting life in hard mode; that's the reality. You have no right to scold anyone on how they choose to act or speak. What your father told you should rule over family and stick to the confined of your house. |

ethicallyright: The African man's immediate problem is hunger. Thus he looks to satisfy it by any means necessary. The western world has conquered hunger to a large extent thus unlocking the potential to appreciate nature, artifacts, diacovery for posterity. When a western man sees a new snake, he does a documentary on it and tries to understand it's behavior, chemistry and how to explore it to build a qualitative life for mankind. An African sees a snake, he'll get a cutlass, kill it, roast and call Lalasticlala to witness. That's my opinion. 2 Likes |

JoeEeL: You more than right. But what is the way forward? To me, it's better to join them when you can't fight them anymore. When you even try to fight for the African people, they will chastise you for fighting on their behalf. I have renounced humanism (atheism) this year. It almost run me down financially. Nobody wants to help me for saying the truth. 1 Like |

Its the only things we have that are not imported. And they want to see whom we really are. Of what use is it for them to come here and be looking at iPhone, Jeans and cars? They make these things in their country. Your own can never be better than theirs. |
