THE 3 TYPES OF PEOPLE ON EARTH: IDIOTS, TRIBESMEN AND CITIZENS

 UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE IN SOCIETY, YOU CAN NEVER MAKE ANY MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION.

According to the Greeks there are three types of people on earth, 

- the idiots, 

- the tribesmen, and 

- the citizens. 

 




Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens. 

The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

Germany Regrets Killing Jews and Admitting Arab Muslims

Beloved,
In view of the contemporary issues globally, this article is sent to you. The article was written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15, 2008. It doesn't take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe - and possibly to the rest of the world.


REMEMBER AS YOU READ -- IT WAS IN A SPANISH PAPER

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ

By Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez


I walked down the street in Barcelona , and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz ... We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all,  as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.
And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted  to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.

Why I will not vote Buhari again come 2015

BY JUDE OGUTA

It is no secret that I voted Buhari in the last election. This was because I believed a team of Buhari/Bakare will fight corruption (Nigeria's biggest problem)-to a standstill. I will not try that again. Well not because Goodluck is a better person but for the following reasons:
1. Sectionalism: Buhari has failed to carry a major tribe along in his campaign-The Igbos. He goes about his political pursuit with an attitude that says "I will never need them". No trying to win them over even if it has to be a failed attempt. No visits, no campaign in the South East, No possibility of a running mate. For a group of people most widely traveled and scattered in almost every part of Nigeria, they would need assurance that they would be voting a leader that will make policies to accommodate their versatility. For Nigeria to forge ahead as a nation, I believe we would need a president that will be accepted by all tribes and religion, even if it is just a minority from that tribe. I loved someone that suggested Obi Ezekewesili as a running mate to him. She's Igbo, She's Christian, She's a woman, She's no-nonsense- Her attachment would have balanced the equation.

2. Borrowing lifestyle: While the general masses who are not into building enterprises will actually think that being poor is a form of piety- I beg to differ. A true leader must succeed in other areas like business, social works etc. If after many years of "affecting lives", Buhari has not built enough social capital to support his ambition or even have someone that will build him a house just in appreciation then I doubt his credibility and reliability. The media has it that he borrowed money to build 3 houses and to pick form etc. Its either he was not affecting lives or he does not know how to manage and multiply resources, or worst still he lives above his means. If you must borrow, let it be to invest in business, not to build houses. A house is not an asset, apologies to Robert Kiyosaki-the world renowned financial adviser and author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It is dangerous to hand over the wealth and aspirations of over 170 million people to such a man as he will assume that every rich man is a thief. He may kill corruption but will also kill the economy with it

Profound Statements that will Shape your thinking Aright


Compiled by Marc Chernoff


Our lives are shaped by what we think about in our quiet moments. According to the Bible, 

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. " Phil 4:8

 I wish to share with you some profound statements that will help you shape your thinking aright.

If Bill Gates Were Black...By John Hope Bryant

If Bill Gates were black, it would be less important that President Barack Obama is black. This is no slight to President Obama. It is an acknowledgment that while the route to success has changed, for too many in the black and minority community, their game plan has not.
For much of the past century, African Americans pursued social justice through government intervention, the ballot box, and ultimately elective office. While the number of black mayors and elected officials in this country is impressive, the number of black entrepreneurs is not. As a result, job creation in underserved communities, and among the black middle class, is stagnant.

Where is Africa Going Wrong?

Out-of-the-Box Thinking in an In-the-Box World
by Philip Emeagwali
I once believed that capital was another word for money, the accumulated wealth of a country or its people. Surely, I thought, wealth is determined by the money or property in one’s possession. Then I saw a Deutsche Bank advertisement in the Wall Street Journal that proclaimed: “Ideas are capital. The rest is just money.” I was struck by the simplicity of such an eloquent and forceful idea. I started imagining what such power meant for Africa.
  
The potential for progress and poverty alleviation in Africa relies on capital generated from the power within our minds, not from our ability to pick minerals from the ground or seek debt relief and foreign assistance. If ideas are capital, why is Africa investing more on things than on information, and more on the military than on education? Suddenly, I realized what this idea could mean for Africa. If the pen is mightier than the sword, why does a general earn more than the work of a hundred writers combined? If ideas are indeed capital, then Africa should stem its brain drain and promote the African Renaissance, which will lead to the rebirth of the continent. After all, a renaissance is a rebirth of ideas. And knowledge and ideas are the engines that drive economic growth. When African men and women of ideas, who will give birth to new ideas, have fled to Europe and the United States, then the so-called African Renaissance cannot occur in Africa. It can only occur in Paris, London and New York.
