Youtube hearted comments of (@orboakin8074).

  1. Another great video, friend. As a African myself (Nigerian) it annoys me when most people only attribute Africa's current problems to "colonialism or racism", effectively removing personal responsibility of us Africans, and ignore more important factors like geography, climate, socioeconomic systems, political unity and leadership. Thanks for focusing on those areas.

  2. As a Nigerian-immigrant currently working and attending college in North America, this video just reminds me of how important good values, norms and cultural habits are to ensure success and prosperity for a community. Being blessed with resources means nothing if you have a poor culture and government that cannot use them to your benefit. Also, the reason many of us black Africans tend to succeed here in the west, despite facing many MANY obstacles as legal immigrants, is due to cultural mindsets that values hard work, rejects identity politics and victimhood, and imitates the habits of already successful demographics.

  3. 1:03 Rudyard, while my country (Nigeria) may trade a lot with China, we are not a strong Chinese ally. They rejected us for BRICS membership (mainly due to our stronger western ties) and when the USA and other G20 members offered us a more solid membership, we gladly took it. We are actually more aligned with the west than many people realize. We have stronger diplomatic, military and economic ties with the west. Heck! We also have a long-standing relationship with India. China is an major economic partner for us but not a strong geopolitical one.

  4. When I watch your videos, I get partly black-pilled, frightened and a little white-pilled at the end. I have no doubt the world is in for some turbulent (or as the Chinese say, "interesting") times but I have a good feeling most of us will make it and it will be grueling and hard but necessary. Heck! My grandparents and my great-grandmother, along with my parents and their respective families, made it through the colonial era of Nigeria, our civil war, military juntas, the cold war, and even I made it through the 2000s, the great recession, the SARS, Ebola, Avian flu pandemics, and much more. We humans are a stubborn and resilient species and many of us have experienced so serious stuff and I am damn sure we will survive what's coming, Amen.😊😊

  5. Sir, this is by far, the most objective, factual, extensive (but still concise) and well research documentaries I have seen. Seriously, I figured documentaries like this were a thing of the early 2000s but you made this in the 2020s?! BRAVO! It is not ideologically biased like most "documentaries" are today and it is, again, so well researched! 👏👏👏

  6. Mister Taras, as a black person, i have nothing but respect for you. The fact that you questioned the CRT ideology and boldly pointed its bigoted nature, instead of simply rolling over like so many other cowards, is a mark of greatness in my eyes. I also experienced a similar thing in college when I called it out and was humiliated for it by professors but most students (international ones, at least) agreed with me.

  7. So who was this change made for? There are many MANY of us who are not white and not even America, who love fantasy fiction and tabletop games like DnD. I am Nigerian and I own the Drizzt novels and love them. Why did they do this?!

  8. Another great video, friend. As a Nigerian, i appreciate seeing this kind of objective, well researched discourse on African history. Plus, i am so glad to see someone mention the role that Africans played in perpetuating the slave trade. So many people believe the false narrative that slavery never existed here in Africa and that only Europeans brought it, while ignoring the role of our African ancestors and Arabs had in the evil practice 😔 Thanks for helping to dispel that fallacy.

  9. You guys are one of the only news channels I watch regularly because you are far more objective and I cannot bring myself to even trust western media or even Arab media like Aljazeera when it comes to news like this. Also, I really enjoy your perspective as a contemporary to the past , especially the 60s all the way to the present day. it really helps young millennials, like me (I am Nigerian btw), gain so much insight into that period and contrast it with our current times.

  10. I was born and raised in Nigeria since 94 and chronic power outages were, and sadly still are, an everyday part of life here mainly due to inept and corrupt government mismanagement and economic policies. So I never imagined that first-world nations ever had to deal with power outages.

  11. As a Nigerian, here's my simple answer: Bad geography, poor social and economic systems, poor political systems, failing legal and social institutions, dutch disease, tribalism and others. During the golden age of Islam, under Harun al-Rashid, the civilization was experiencing great economic, social and scientific development and Islam was moderatingbabd becoming more Secular until Orthodox pushback from Imams and others caused these changes to stop. Then, the Christian West embraced modernity and reform and advanced in all fields. The fact that Christianity abolished institutions like slavery, broke clan structures by removing cousin marriage, and stopped the ban on usary which led to stuff like capitalism and meritocracy, while islam refused to do all of this. Also, the colonialism excuse is just lazy and mainly used by tribalist Arabs as an excuse. Same way Pan-Africans use it as an excuse for Africa's failings.

  12.  @Theretailtrader1  Very simple answer: Our national government, along with those of many African countries (except a handful like Botswana, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Madagascar and a few others) is notoriously corrupt and inept. This singular reason undermines any societal progress and economic development from taking place. No country can progress with failing institutions or bad government. No government on earth is not corrupt but the difference is that corruption in a country like the USA works while that in many African countries doesn't. A governor will take a bribe in the USA but infrastructure still gets built or maintained. An African politician will take a bribe and just pocket the money.

  13. The fact that this man is still praised by some people in the west is so sad. But here in Africa, there are still people who praise men like Mugabe, Idi Amin and so many others, despite their horrors😢 Ignorance is truly terrible.

  14. As a Nigerian, I absolutely agree with this video. In Africa, during the decolonization of the 50s, 60s and 70s, many of our countries began to abandon the socioeconomic and political frameworks (like capitalism, liberalism,and democracy) the Europeans left us. This was partly due to many African leaders being Marxist educated and some underlying resentment for colonialism. Unfortunately, it had the adverse effect of destroying economic growth and development in many countries for decades and created instability and loss of life via wars etc. This trend only started reversing when democracy and liberalism began to return to Africa. An example is my country, where after decades of military rule and economic mismanagement via control-economy, we returned to democracy in 99 and our President, Obasanjo, liberalized our economy and we experienced much of our best growth and development from 2000 to 2015. Very few countries were exceptions like Botswana where Seretse Khama wisely embraced and maintained and continued the policies the British left him and today, Botswana is one of the few economically and politically stable countries here.

  15. I am Nigerian and it boggles my mind how great people like Thomas Sowell are either hated, ignored or derided, especially by the black American community, yet thugs like Floyd are deified. Glad I discovered this man while I am still young and I proudly own all his books.

  16. Great video, friend. Well researched. As a Nigerian, i became disgusted and disillusioned with B L M the moment we had a similar movement here called ENDSARS (they protested against police brutality here but later devolved into looting and rioting 😢) I later did my research about B L M. I was disgusted to see how corrupt their founders are. I was also horrified to learn about the riots, and billions property damage, they did in black communities and how many innocent people they ended (RIP David Dorn). Even more revealing was when i found out that most black Americans actually support more police presence. Truly an awful movement predicated on lies and corruption

  17. I remember first seeing Scott on Timcast and how he was doing the cleanup work in California and that made me an instant fan of his. Then, I remember him starting the mail-in activism for Republicans and I was even more amazed by him. He is a genuinely Goodman and I respect him. I hope I can meet him one day

  18. 13:50 As a Nigerian, I am genuinely shocked that you guys didn't have formal laws requiring ID to vote 🤔 Why?! I mean, even here with all our issues, voting ID is mandatory by law. Why didn't you guys have this to begin with?!
    75
  19. Now this is a topic i have always been fascinated by😲😢 As a Nigerian, the issues with black Americans does intrigue me, especially considering how much better and stable and developed the US is compared to Africa. Even more strange is the fact that many African immigrants (mainly legal) in the USA tend to do better socioeconomically. Makes me think the issue is not racial but cultural🤔 I have been reading Thomas Sowell's writings on the issue but still need to understand more.

  20. 9:30 This genuinely surprised me about you, Rudyard. Thank you for sharing this personal story and also kudos for achieving your hard earned success. You are an inspiration to this 27 year old millennial. Also, you dad is awesome and reminds me of mine👍

  21. As a Nigerian millennial, this sad trend just shows me that all of thos wokeness a d identity politics and victimhood ideology can ONLY exist in a developed urban first-world environment where no existential problems exist a d where said urban dwellers embrace destructive ideologies due to lack of meaning and purpose😢 That's also why thos trend is rareky seen in rural western areas or among legal immigrants from countries tgat actually have problems.
    54
  22. 12:10 Ironically, many of those "target audiences" they tried to get, myself included (being a young black millennial guy), just stopped buying western comics because of all the wokeness, toxif identity politics, antagonism towards readers, and terrible writing😒 I got into in 2015 via Jonathan Hockman and when All New All Different Marvel came, i dropped comics in 2018 cause i just hated how trash it was. I read and buy manga now.
    50
  23. 39:10 As a Nigerian, i am genuinely shocked that this is the reality in a country like the UKand much of Western and Central Europe 😢 Even here, with all our problems and social issues, it's unfathomable. We have insecurity but no one is ever going to say that boko haram has a right to kidnap and terrorize people. So why a developed and first world country like the UK, allows these gro*ming gangs to do such horrible things to children is baffling to me.

  24. @Bhante Thank you, and God bless.
    44
  25. Is there any chance you guys will do a video on Seretse Khama, the most underrated and amazing African leader, in many people's opinion? Seriously, how he led Botswana before and after colonialism, and ensured the country's bright future, is something that deserves great recognition😌👍

  26. Here in Nigeria, Ivermectin has been used to prevent river blindness from black fly larva for decades. It is also being studied for other medicinal properties outside of that. Yet, westerners started calling it "horse paste" simply because it's also used for horses?! By that logic, shouldn't aspirin be classified as only dog medicine?! 🤔
    36
  27. So much good stuff in this video. I had no idea the Yankee groups in Japan were this deep but it makes sense. They eschew the urban metro lifestyles of the majority of the country and focus on blue collar jobs and have more lax but wholesome culture in their communities. It's no surprise that they have better birthrates. Makes me even more determined to get into the skill trades myself. I wanna be an automotive technician after wasting years in college/university on business 😢
    28
  28. It's so weird how this practice of plagiarism has become normalized in the USA😕 Here in Nigeria, despite the corruption problem, in academia, plagiarism is a VERY serious offense but apparently, if you have the right race/gender in the west, it's okay? Is that not bigotry of low expectations?!
    25
  29. 17:50 As a cough researcher of Japanese offbrand anime, i can confirm this is true😂 So many gyarus tend to be depicted as wanting to be happy wives who give their loving husbands many kids. One of the manga i recently bought is also like this. It's called Gal Gohan and it's about a gyaru in highschool who joins a cooking club with her teachers, they develop feelings and get married after she graduates.

  30. That's ehat Raw Egg Nationalist looks like?!😮 I only ever seen his tweets😂 Cool. Respect from Nigeria 👍 i like how even though most of us conservatives are different due to culture and nationality, we dhare a lot of common interests, like anime and manga and PC gaming in my case😊 I hope you guys get someone who os into Warhammer 40k on your channel one day.

  31. I am a Nigerian and I was genuinely surprised that woke hollywood made this movie🤔🤔 Many of us in Africa, especially us Nigerians, know of how Dahomey was a brutal slaver kingdom that also practiced human sacrifice and that only stopped slavery because, thankfully, the Europeans (French) conquered them and forced them to stop slavery. Why did the west think this movie was a good idea?!

  32. Wow, where has this channel been all my life? Objective well reseaiand detailed coverage? You got a new sub. Respect from Nigeria

  33. Yep. Such was life for Uncle Claudius🙄🙄

  34. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. They get what they deserve after screwing over the average folk who were their prime user base.

  35. As I am watching this video and the early history of Xerox, i am truly amazed at how innovative the people who built this company were. Amazing! I swear, America is truly a hot-bed of technological innovation and their free-market economy enables even more innovation. That being said, it's sad how complacent the later leadership became😑😑

  36. 11:30 As a Nigerian, I couldn't agree more with you. I have come to the conclusion that black America's problems are cultural and not racial. I may not live in America but even I know how the richest racial demographics are Asian-Americans. I also know that legal African immigrants do better socioeconomically there. It can even be seen here in Nigeria. The tribes and regions tgat do well socioeconomically are mainly the ones here in the south because our cultures embrace more modernity, capitalism, education and civic nationalism while northern states tend to be poorer for the exact opposite.

  37. Hey, if you guys ever do want to try some Nigerian yam pepper soup, I, as a Nigerian, would love to cook it for you. But seriously, love you guys😂👍

  38. 11:20 How is Fritz Haber not more well known? What he did is right up there with the guy who created the polio vaccine!

  39. I found this very hilarious and endearing. Reminds me of my country's (Nigeria) situation 😂👍 Also, you remind of Vee. Subbed

  40. Just discovered this channel today. You gained a new sub👍

  41. Respect to this man! It is not easy to be an entrepreneur but he is willing to do the hard work. Plus, he contributing so much to his community. How does he fit all that in his cart?! Amazing. Reminds me of when I used to help my Granma in Nigeria with her own small restaurant when I was a kid.

  42. 20:12 This is a perfect example of why/how Christianity was able to grow, even in Nigeria (my country) and much of Africa. The welcoming, kindness and hopefulness in it is why. The best way to describe it is winning through compassion. Even my grandfather who was raised a pagan converted to Christianity because his mother's family, who were Christian, treated him with so much kindness and he was inspired by their faith. They themselves were treated so kind by the British evangelicals of the time and that made them convert earlier.

  44. I know the intro monologue is supposed to be a jokey bit (very well done too) but this one honestly rings way too true. Those who are not competent enough for STEM fields or for trades usually end up going to get useless degrees in idiotic fields and disciplines that usually have the suffix, studies, attached to them.

  45. This is genuinely evil! I would never expect this kind of corruption and miscarriage of justice in a western society. Even here in Nigeria with our corruption problems, it's highly unfathomable for this to happen.

  47. So basically, Saudi Arabia created wahhabi islam and it later cane back to bite them?🤔

  48. That opening part you discuss about the London gr**ming gangs reminds me of why I appreciate American culture. You guys would squash this and not care about Political Correctness. A recent story develowhere an Iraqi father and mother in the USA tried to sell their daughter as a child bride. She refused, they ab*sed her, she ran to her school for help and they tried to str*ngle her but her boyfriend and passersby saved her. Now, the parent are arrested.

  49. Glad they were exonerated. As a Nigerian, i will never understand ehy westerners are now just blindly believing accusations without evidence. Honestly, as a recently turned 30 year ild, i am more and more convinced that virginity as a man is not such a bad thing. I'd rather stay one and avoid sick crazy people tryingbto falsely accuse me.

  50. Great video. I also remember watching Rush Hour movies as a kid in Nigeria and still love them to this day😂😂I am genuinely surprised that there are Americans who now see them as racist films🤔🤔No one here in Africa views them as racist!

  51. Coincidentally, I am actually cooking some curry for me and my folks and I use A LOT of hot peppers (We are Nigerian🤣🤣) Sadly, I doubt this pepper X will be available in stores😥😥I'll just stick with Ghost peppers, Jamaican hot reds, and Habeneros.

  52. Thank you for making this video. i couldn't catch the stream yesterday because of college assignments.

  53. Fuck Sankara and his marxist views! His ilk of "pan Africanist" leaders just set many African countries backwards and all but destroyed their national unity and economic progress in the late 60 to 80s.

  54. I never knew America used to have and make Cab-over trucks😲 I'm from Nigeria and that the main kinds of trucks (lorries😏) we use here mainly cause we import them from Europe. I figured they were only used in Europe and Africa. The times I used to see American trucks was in movies and Tv shows and none were Cab-overs.

  55. 1:13 Simple answer: Those who are wuick and loud to virtue signal are also lacking in virtue.

  56. This channel is the first news channel I have watched covering this issue in Kazakhstan because I DO NOT trust any western media to cover these stories properly.

  57. Great video friend 👍 As a Nigerian, I certainly applaud the altruistic efforts from these individuals and understand their hearts are in the right place but as you correctly point out, their lack of understanding about cultural differences, environmental issues and economic pragmatism is clearly why many of these efforts ended up causing more problems or just were not effective at all. What is important is understanding and also partnering with local charities and individual communities in order to help with effective solutions.

  58. Videos like this make me glad I was born and raised in Africa and breastfed as a baby boy.

  60. This genuinely makes me happy. I am not white (I'm black) but I am so happy to not see another token race swap in media. Most of us black people hate that nonsense a lot. Black Jimmy in My Adventures with Superman was a good character with likability and no toxic identity politics but I prefer no race-swapping.
