That's it. You have said it all. They know the efficacy, originality, complexity and value of our arts and culture. The question we still need to ask ourselves is "when they were demonizing our arts and culture and converting us to their religion, if truly our arts were demonic, why did they transport them to their museums? Or who wants to keep demons � in his custody? TouchRight: 1 Like |

Question with question. Why do hunters appreciate their kills than none hunters? Especially if that kill was a lion or something like that. The short answer is that these were the medals of the conquerors. Outside of people for slavery and colonization, they were no other winning medals, except these carvings that most Africans had and worshipped. |

Sunky200:Concerning the state of the economies of African nations,you should know that there are powerful/rich Africans that mismanaged the resources of African nations while they were ruling!!!!! They did it as a result of greed/wickedness. Also, the amount of money spent on the salaries/allowances of the people that make up many African governments is really huge. So,it doesn't make any sense to say Africans are inferior/superior to non-Africans when you consider the relevance of the people that make up every race. It's not about the economic development ratings!!!!! It's about the relevance of the people behind the order of the ratings or the people that contribute to the order of the ratings as they carry out whatever activity in their countries!!!!!!!!!! 1 Like |

Culture has been mixed with religion and that's the reason true Nigerian who understand the impact of such religion avoid the parades. We had a cultural display that almost turned bloody on the 2nd of January in AkwaIbom. Looting and intimidation made those who wanted to see the masquerade show regret. Remember masquerade is a culture that involves initiation of some special people and it was earlier used to control or maintain orderliness while I prefer to be silent on the religious part. Today masquerades are cultist and if you have earlier clashed with them, the revenge becoms sweet under the mask...Trust me you'll pay to watch a young boy matchet you for scolding him for a wrong attitude. The organizers fail to see it from the perspective of purely entertainment maybe because some masquerades from other communities Grace the show and nobody monitors their excesses. How do you explain masquerades brandishing matchet and attempting to stop a car on the highway. Or like we usually ask 'Can Barney or Santa do that' I rest my case! |

Because the average Nigerian is a stupid, easily brainwashed religious slowpoke who will hand over his/her birthright for anything foreign (though inferior). As a matter of fact, you can never convince the average Nigerian that she/he’s actually smarter, civilised and more spiritual than a white man so the whiteman/woman continues to enslave him/her perpetually since he/she enjoys staying low. 1 Like |

mansakhalifa: You are 1000% correct. I've never seen a group of Africans with the level of racial inferiority complex as Nigerians. Highly colonised and brainwashed set of people. That is why they are the world's skin bleaching capital. That is why their newscasters sound so horrible as they try to fake UK and US accents. The other day I started a thread to show how corruption, like drug trafficking, was an international racket, requiring us to tackle both local and foreign players, including western banks and nations harbouring our looted funds. Immediately these slaves pretending to be free human beings descended on me, and accused me of ''blaming white people for our problems''. The very thought of criticising or confronting whites or white nations on an issue at all, is like an abomination to most of them. But they are willing to attack whole ethnic groups that look like them, based on the merest suspicion of wrongdoing. Lost people. 1 Like |

Ajsmart: It's a real pity. Even the moderators of this site are drowning in racial inferiority complex. I can't tell you how many threads I've started showing precolonial African civilization in all its glory and majesty, and clearly deserving of front page presence, only for them to be ignored and relegated to the 'Culture' section by the 'moderators'. Even as they post ridiculous garbage like ''The snake I killed in my backyard'', ''Tiwa Savage Chilling in Dubai'', and ''Linda Ikeji Buys New SUV For her Mother''. Useless, lost people. 2 Likes |

sadiqsalau888: We are only good at attacking ''our leaders'' and demanding they ''Be like China'' etc. But you cannot ''be like China'' if you have racial inferiority complex. If you use European languages with no plans to indigenize your lingua franca. If you adhere to European religions with no plans to develop or adopt your own ancient religions and philosophies. If you automatically prefer foreign manufactured goods to your own. If you are afraid to confront white nations or challenge them in any way, including technological prowess, seeing them as the unreachable ideal or 'ultimate'. To be like China, you must THINK like China. You cannot develop from a mental position of inferiority. Only from a mental position of equality, or even superiority. BELIEVE you are equally as capable and competent as any race on Earth, and THEN you will get there. NOT BEFORE, because it is THOUGHTS that create reality. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Rossintii: You cannot develop from a mental position of inferiority. Indeed! One culture that survived the European intrusion and demonization of various cultures around the globe is the Japanese. They considered their spirituality, gods, and culture to be equal to or even superior to the Europeans’. When the Jesuits weren’t kidnapping Japanese children to be sold to European Christians, they were converting them to their depraved christianity, and destroying Japanese artifacts and religious tokens. The Japanese got smart pretty quickly, they expelled the so called “society of Jesus” and ordered Japanese Christians to renounce the Jesus delusion or face expulsion from Japan. The ones who didn’t were either killed or starved until they renounced the Christian nonsense. To cut a long story short, Japan got whatever value they could get from the Europeans (google Dutch learning in Japan) and discarded the Christian nonsense that required them to demonize their own history, culture, and beliefs in favor of some ridiculous story of a whitewashed Jew on a stick. My people did the exact opposite. Today Japan thrives while so called Nigerians are waiting for the Jew on a stick to come back to earth on horse back in an event called “the rapture” talk less of the ones who consider Arab barbarism as virtue.........stupid mutha... 1 Like |
