I don't like this expression "First World problems." It is false and it is condescending. Yes, Nigerians struggle with floods or infant mortality. But these same Nigerians also deal with mundane and seemingly luxurious hassles. Connectivity issues on your BlackBerry, cost of car repair, how to sync your iPad, what brand of noodles to buy: Third World problems. All the silly stuff of life doesn't disappear just because you're black and live in a poorer country. People in the richer nations need a more robust sense of the lives being lived in the darker nations. Here's a First World problem: the inability to see that others are as fully complex and as keen on technology and pleasure as you are.

why should we go backwards?
why should we think backwards?
why should we feel bad for progressing?

my ancestors struggled their asses off to get me here. They probably struggled more than the people in 3rd world problems nowadays. I respect my ancestors by not looking back and thanking them for getting me here.

discalimer : that doesn't mean I don't care. But if you need that explaining.
