I am a strong advocate for balance. It feels nice to not take responsibility and blame another for your failings, but they are still YOUR failings. Africans were — and still are — facilitators in the underdevelopment of the continent. We caused it, we aided it, and we still are aiding it. We've cried, and held self-pity long enough!

If you say Nigeria's systemic failure is a result of western influence you're right, if you say Nigeria's systemic failure is a result of Nigerians themselves you're also right, they're two truths that coexist.

I flew from Tanzania and landed at Arlanda International Airport, then took a train 🚅 to Falun, Sweden, to pursue a Master's Degree in African Studies at Dalarna University… I learned more about Africa from a Western perspective, and one thing I can tell you: this book will mislead you. It's a dead book. The main problem with African development is not colonisation; the main issue is what happens after colonisation and the incompetence of African leaders with no vision, who fall into foolish political ideologies and alliances instead of focusing on building their countries, a case study of Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew. It's not a must-read book. The only advice I have for any African youth is to use their smartphones and laptops to study how Lee managed to develop Singapore from rice paddies into a wealthy nation.

I studied political science as a minor in the university and this was one of the books that we read and referenced in one of the courses. Initially as young chaps this book infuriated us and we began to blame the west for our woes until we came across another book “How Africa Underdeveloped Africa”. Till date, I have no blames or fight with the Europeans. The time for blaming them is long gone. Now it is our evil leaders who are constantly looting and ravaging the continent. Sometimes I wonder if there’s really a problem with the black race because how can a whole continent have wicked leaders? Only the “white” part of the continent have major developments. Africans, it is your leaders that have ravaged you, not Europeans.

I find it interesting that Trump supporters have never seen these videos. They claim there is no footage of that day. 😳 I watched it in real time on TV when it was happening, just like Trump. 1. FYI, the footage is all over the internet. 2. You can CLEARLY see them breaking windows. The law says that’s breaking and entering. 3. I’ve been to the Capitol, you have to go through security to enter. You don’t enter through broken windows. That’s just a fact.

If you like, let idiots like this whine you. The werey dey abroad but has “friends” who are now millionaires and billionaires from staying back in Nigeria. Yet, he himself hasn’t returned to make the millions and billions? Just so you know, most people doing well in Nigeria came from families with some level of wealth or connection or both. Another other group is into illegal means. Another again earns money in other currencies. And the final group are just mere lucky exceptions. In a country where more than 80% of its citizens have never come across as little as 1M Naira, that’s the same place you have friends who are now making lots of millions and billions. Dey play! Tell us about the other friends who are now extremely poor or aren’t doing well for themselves. Oh, sorry, they’re no longer your friends, I guess. If you have any means to leave the country, especially if you aren’t from a well-to-do family, please leave! That’s one of the assured ways to get your family out of generational poverty!!! It might be slow and gradual, but it is SURE!!!

I left Nigeria in 2020 and some of the friends I left are now millionaires, one is even a billionaire. Some of you have a small mindset that you think people working warehouse night shifts abroad have made it in your eyes.
