I have had debates on here about various issues. One of the debates was about why Africa is always in disarray.
So I talked to a guy from Nigeria and asked him why?
He looked at me and said.
It's simple of why Africa is in bad shape. He said....
Too many difference of opinions of how things should be. He said for example.
In Nigeria. There are over 500 different tribes. With various languages and cultures.
I told him my doctor was from Nigeria to. He said... What is his name.
I told him.
He goes.
Ah... an EBO man with a smile.
I said what's the smile about.
He said.. No offense to your doctor. But we DON'T TRUST EBO guys.
I said why..
He said they are shady and are money hustlers.
I said wow.
He said there are tons of African tribes that HATE EACH other.
Basically he said it's no different than DIE HARD LIBERALS fighting against DIE HARD CONVERSATIVES.
He said.. just imagine if there were 500+ political parties all with various thought processes. He said how much in fighting would there be.
He said. it has nothing to do with intelligence or anything like that.
He said it's all about ego. Such as "Our tribe" is better then your "tribe".
I thought this was interesting.
My opinion, and it’s not worth much I’m just a prol bottom dweller, is that high IQ and genius should be separated. Genius is the ability to adapt and solve problems. High IQ would be the retention of information stored or the amount absorbed, retained and ability to administer into an application. Genius is a very useful and practical quality. High IQ alone, normally seems to lack a discernment and understanding to adapt and respond to critical analysis within practical problem solving outside of retained information, and usually seems to be boxed in and limited to the absorbed information that has been retained. High IQ is a negative if it is not accompanied by genius. Hence why we have so many educated and high IQ fools. But so goes the mystery of life. Next conversation what is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?
BOOM!!!! THIS IS TOTALLY ON POINT!!!!!!!!
AWESOME POST!!!!
The greatest Generals are those who can evaluate and discern the strengths and weaknesses of his division and men and use and place them accordingly. The best quality of a highly skilled and trained individual is knowing when to step back and play a support role. Cheers to an entrepreneurial and independent spirit. Most intellectual intelligence that can’t discern the spirit is limited and can only go so far. I appreciate the post. As far as Africa and its tribalism, a house divided cannot stand. The enemy knows this.
