A few days ago, the Nobel Laureate, Dr James Watson, made a remark that is now generating worldwide uproar, especially among the blacks.
He said what to me looks like a self-evident truth. He told The Sunday Times of London in an interview that in his humble opinion, Black people are less intelligent than the White people.

Since then, some of us cannot hear anything else but the outrage of black people who feel demeaned by what Watson has said. So many people have called the man names. To be expected, some have said he is a racist.
Some even wonder how a “foolish” man like Watson could have won the Nobel Prize. Even white people who, deep in their heart, agree with Watson want to be politically correct… so they condemn the man.
Why are we blacks becoming so reactive, so sensitive to any remarks, no matter how well-meaning, about our failure as a race?
Why are we becoming like the Jews who see every accusation as a manifestation of anti-Semitism? I do not know what constitutes intelligence. I leave that to our so-called scholars. But I do know that in terms of organising society for the benefit of the people living in it, we Blacks have not shown any intelligence in that direction at all. I am so ashamed of this and sometimes feel that I ought to have belonged to another race.
Nigeria, my dear country is a prime example of the inferiority of the Black race when compared to other races. Let somebody please tell me whether it is a manifestation of intelligence if a people cannot organise a free, fair and credible election to choose who will lead them.
Is it intelligence that we cannot provide simple pipe-borne water for the people? Our public school system has virtually collapsed. Is that a sign of intelligence? Our roads are impassable. In spite of the numerous sources that nature has made available to us to tap for energy to run our industries and homes, we have no steady supply of electricity. Yet electricity is the bedrock of industrialisation.
When you agree with the school of Watson, some say you are incorrect because all these failures are a result of poor leadership. Why must it be us Blacks who must always suffer poor leadership? Is that not a manifestation of un-intelligence?
In the name of international trade, bilateral co-operation, globalisation and other subterfuges, the norm in the world today is for smart people to appropriate the wealth of other people for themselves and their countries. But more among the blacks than any other race, the practice is to steal from their own country and salt away to other peoples’ country. Is it intelligence that our leaders steal billions of naira and hide in other people’s country?
Anywhere in the world today where you have a concentration of Black people among other races, the poorest, the least educated, the least achieving, and the most violent group among those races will be the BLACKS.
When indices of underdevelopment are given, Black people and countries are sure to occupy the bottom of the ladder. If we are intelligent, why do we not carry first when statistics of development are given?
Look at the African continent.
South Africa is the most developed country because of the presence of [9%] Whites there. This may be an uncomfortable truth for many of us, but it exists nevertheless. If the Whites had been driven away after independence, we would have seen a steady decline of that country. Source

Is this a serious post?
Yes.
This writer is Nigerian, Black and lives on the ‘dark African continent’, right? Hmmm….
Inspite of his simplistic and myopic analysis, I wonder why anyone would take his support of Watson’s remarks seriously- because Idang Alibi is AFRICAN and BLACK, so by default and per Watson, he is stupid, dumb and ignorant. So who really cares what he thinks? I certainly don’t.
What an ignorant journalist.
