Why Most Africans Are Just Like the Monkeys in the Supposed 5 Monkeys & Banana Experiment

Monkey Experiement
Monkey Experiement

It is obvious that today’s people have become the product of weird dogmatic practices without pausing for a moment to scrutinize why things are the way they are. We strictly follow and adhere to principles pertaining to traditions, religion, politics and other systems blindly because “that is the norm.”

Although somewhat contested, it is believed that Stephenson, G. R. in 1967 contacted an experiment to point out the flaw of this human’s disposition.

Five monkeys were put in a room and in the middle of the room was a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.

Each time a monkey tried to climb the ladder; all the monkeys were sprayed with iced water, which made them miserable.

Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempted to climb the ladder, all of the monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon and beat him up. Soon, none of the five monkeys ever attempted to climb the ladder.

One of the original monkeys was removed, and a new monkey was put in the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wondered why none of the other monkeys were doing the obvious. But undaunted, he immediately began to climb the ladder.

All the other monkeys jumped on him and beat the hell out of him. He had no idea why he was being beaten. However, he no longer attempted to climb the ladder.

Is Majid Michel Really the Best Actor in Africa? | Stella Damasus Says YES

Nadia Buari And Majid Michel
Nadia Buari And Majid Michel

Majid Michel celebrated his birthday few weeks ago. Well, he his 34 years old now. His friends organized a surprise birthday for him in far away U.S.A and It was during this moment that Nollywood screen goddess Stella Damasus declared unequivocally that Majid Michel is the best actor on the continent.

This is might be a harmless compliment meant to boost Majid’s already bloated ego, but I know perfectly well this would ruffle the composure of lots of the actors in the industry especially against the background that Africa has a huge array of stars who are considered far better than Majid Michel.

Majid rose to prominence in the series, ‘Things We Do for Love’ in 2000. The series was very popular with the youth and became a huge success. He played the role of a womanizer who wrecked girls’ heart into shreds. ‘Things We Do for Love’ also launched the career of Adjetey Annang, popularly called Pusher, Vincent Maccauley and the adorable Jackie Appiah.

Majid’s major breakthrough came when he featured alongside Van Vicker in ‘Divine Love’ a film written by Abdul Salam Mumuni. He has gone on to feature in a lot of films—both in his native land Ghana and Nigeria.

He Has Slept With Over 15 Women & He is a Damn Hero | I Just IMAGINED Doing the Same & I Am Tagged a Prostitute

black woman

 

I do not like to come on here always upset—as many may begin to call me an angry black woman, especially the men.

But since my circumstance which usually pushes me into frustration has not changed and the world we live in today is full of cotton headed men, I guess you will be reading a lot from me in this tone—things will change when some goddamn aliens descend from outer space and take away all the waste of time men who keep getting on my nerves.

In fact, I don’t really care if you think of me as an angry black woman—you don’t even know me so who gives a toss? Whatever it is that is currently going through your mind about me is your damn problem.

I have my own issues and surely you do have yours too. If you want to leave your issues unattended to and appoint yourself the moral police or the person in charge of counting upset people in the world without pay, then good for you.

For me, I freaking much do not care how you use your time and energy since all what some people do nowadays is to sit and judge people—without knowing the sort of hardship and nonsense they’ve been put through.

Before jumping to my main subject, let me clear the bushes by telling the men who may be lucky to be reading me the hard truth, albeit the awkward gospel, which many women do not tell them, making the men think they are always the winners—when in fact, they get used all the time.

Men think (I will not say some because all of them do and if you are offended, go and jump into the red sea) they are far smarter than women. And they seem to think they define who gets used in relationships—mostly, placing themselves as winners.

What these men forget is that, women are also human beings and just as they have the human feeling to want s£x sometimes, if not all the time, women do too. The only difference is that, we are extensively smarter than them and when we want it, we do get it but in a diplomatic and cunning ways such that, we retain our pride.

Few years ago, I was having fun with an area guy and yet he thought he was playing me. He had a girlfriend at Dansoman which I didn’t care. Even if he told me, I wouldn’t have mind but he kept pretending—all along thinking he was playing smart.

Ghana is Sick & All the Institutions Are Sick Says Politician/Lawyer- Ursula Owusu

Ursula Owusu

Lawyer and Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West- Ursula Owusu Ekuful has said Ghana is a country is sick—and even though she blames the NDC Mahama led administration for it, we think it goes deeper than that.

We play a lot of politics in Ghana, apportioning blames on political lines but the truth is, Ghana’s sickness goes deeper. Our government institutions and supervision is a rot, our religious bodies are worse, our schools are useless and most of the ordinary people are dumb—failing to think when needed.

Doing Good Becuase You Are Afraid of Hell is Wrong Says Wanlov Da Kubolor

Wanlov Da Kubolor
Wanlov Da Kubolor

At this point Ghanaians are never shocked by what comes out of the mouth of Wanlov. He has proven to be a very outspoken person who takes every opportunity to comment on social and religious issues.

More than just commenting on issues, he often speaks a lot of sense. He made news a while back when saying that Ghana’s sickness is worse than Ebola; and by sickness he meant our proclivity to rely on divine intervention in everything we do.

Staying on that same theme, the more controversial half of FOKN Boys told Flex newspaper that he believes he is a good man. And this is because he does good out of the goodness of his own heart. Most other Ghanaians, he thinks, try to do good because of a fear of hell or other some otherworldly punishment.

“I don’t need to practice doing good because I am afraid of hell or dying but because I believe it is a good thing. I think God would be happier with that than doing it because you are afraid of hell. Some people do good things because they are afraid of punishment, and that is not right.”

Even with the fear of hell motivating us, most of us fail in our attempts to be good, but I get his point. We should not require religious teachings of God and Satan to compel us to be decent human beings.

There Is More to Life Than Grades: Obsessive Reliance on Grades By Ghanaian Schools a Big Hindrance To Quality Education

blank
Labone Students

The airwaves have been clogged for the past couple of days with the news of the sacking of 250 students from LaBone Senior High School.

Said students were believed to have failed in four subjects out of eight, and by virtue of that have earned dismissal from school.

I don’t know why I somehow got the idea into my head that schools were meant to educate, because clearly LaBone Senior High School are not ready to educate these 250 students.

If students came to you for education, and the response is to send them back home at the first sign of failure; then the school as a whole has admitted failure in carrying out its core purpose.

These senior high school days are the most formative stage of anyone’s life, and are the time the adult to come is formed in every teenager.

Tinged with such failure, it does not bode well for these 250 students.

Aside the absurdity of an educational institution turning away students because they failed: keeping mind this is not the tertiary level or higher- the far bigger problem I feel is our over reliance on students grades whilst we run a highly theoretical educational system.

Students have to learn and grapple with several theoretical concepts, half of which they do not fully comprehend. Then they have to take exams on these; I’m surprised more students do not fail.

The Stupidity of Some Africans | A Bird Falls from Electricity Pole & Turns into a Woman in Nigeria & People Actually Believe This…

Bird turns into a woman in Nigeria
Bird turns into a woman in Nigeria

I wouldn’t dare say the ignorance and stupidity of a huge number of Africans are beyond measure—but that is exactly the case and we continue to display this in the sort of things we come up with in African each day.

And shockingly, a lot of people believe in and hold such absurdity and preposterous superstitions as true, which makes you wonder what happened to their thinking faculties.

News coming from Nigeria which has been circulating on social media (with photos and a video of a poor woman sitting on the floor surrounded by a crowd) is that, a bird fell from a ‘high tension’ electricity pole and the moment it landed on the floor, it turned into a human being.

The last time I checked, a man turned into a cat in Nigeria and another turned into a snake—and people actually believe this. Such stories keep coming from not just Nigeria but different parts of African, the continent of superstition and offensive ignorance…

Maybe that is a supercharged Darwinian evolution happening every day in Africa; animals directly turning into human beings. Tell the African any gibberish and without subjecting it to reason, you will find a great number of them believing you—mostly influenced by their obsessiveness with the concept of; believing without evidence-FAITH.

You know what I think? Maybe this bird-woman (a witch) was trying to fly out of Nigeria to escape Ebola…
