You see.This is the kind of truthfull answer that makes us shy and angry.It is the truth.There are many brilliant citizens in this country,but the majority are ignorant,arrogant, proud ,jelous,not cool and creative.That's why the average measurement of brilliance by way of IQ falls far below what obtains in advanced countries.

That is why envy and jelousy would not allow the electorate to project inteligent people to leadership position irrespective of where they come from.

An average Nigeria is so immersed in trivialities of life.No sincere collective effort to solve her problem.

Most importantly,the solution to our under developement is to first solve the problem of ethnicity.Let's stop pretending ethnic bigotery in Nigeria is more serious than the U.S and Soviete cold war.We are living lies in Nigeria and hating with bitter hearts behind smilling faces.Once ethnic trust is restored,then Nigeria has gotten a concrete platform to manifest any ideal vision she has. With ehnic and religous bigotery in existence,just forget about developement- it all like building mighty and fantastic mansion on a sinking sand or ice pillars.

Bullsh1t!! straight up bullsh1t. I didn't wanna make a comment but this argument drives me nuts. I think the op should include the attitude of blaming others instead of taking responsibilities for our actions. We always wanna take the easy way out which is to blame others for our failures. I have heard this all my life, it's so damn irritating to my ears now.

Your conspiracy theories are highly delusional. You might want to start seeing a psychiatrist in the new year.
The Eurozone is in crisis, the US economy is not rosy, they all have their own various problems to face. They are less concerned about what happens in god forsaken country like Nigeria. It is highly delusional that you heap blames on people who could care less if you can't take wipe your own azz.
No difference between you and other crazy nigerians blaming oil as the source of our problems.

can you point out the conspiracy theories and explain why you feel they are conspiracy theories?

where did europe and america's wealth come from?

what are european and american multinationals doing in nigeria if they are less concerned about us?

why has the world bank placed one of their agents in a position of power in nigeria in the person of Okonjo Iweala?

Africa is the richest continent on the planet as it has all of the world's most valuable resources namely: oil, gold, platinum, cobalt, uranium, coltan the list goes on and yet you think the europeans have no interest in africa - you need your head examined.

Funny.

Cap28, put on your thinking cap and analyse these issues. Quit making these glib statements and soundbites. All what I said are the root cause, except for education which could be termed a "symptom", in your words. Meanwhile all what the OP said are nothing but "symptoms" of the rot in our society.

Think critically and answer these questions: What makes up the society? Aint it the family?
What's the mindset of an african man? What are his core values? What is our belief system? Does an african man believe that character is destiny?

Let's delve into politics, Nigeria is just a 13-year old baby in the world of democracy. Yes a baby because no country ever got it right 13 years into democracy. Although this does not give any excuse to glory in our filthy system because there's a lot that needs to be done.
We need to fix the system and create values, look into the faulty laws of the society, encourage honesty and integrity, so that there will be a good reward for anyone who's willing to put-in his/her effort. These are the basic tenets on which democracy is built.

Take a look at all these parties and their candidates: what's their character ethic vis-a-vis their personality ethic. Zilch! Why do the electorates vote for them? Tribal reasons.

Then something must be fundamentally wrong with both the electorate and the elected. Values!

The value system must change.
Fix the system and things would change.


Frawzey

There is no way you can talk about changing the value system in a society when a greater power dictates and controls everything about your life ranging from economic policies right down to what you watch on your tv.

How do you change the system when your economic policy is decided for you in washington and london?

how about trade- who dictates the terms and conditions of how you trade? you or the western powers? have you heard of the world trade organisation? are you aware that international treaties and regulations are created by this organisation and are you aware that europe and america its most powerful members dictate international trade policies - can you explain how nigeria will be able to operate outside such a powerful organisation?

are you aware that europe and america form trading cartels which they use to maintain a monopoly over certain areas of trade thereby keeping third world countries outside this cartel and forcing them to be dependant on whatever these advanced economies decide - can you explain how a country like nigeria can circumvent such cartels?

you can not bring up family values when you have not dealt with the more pressing problems that influence the value systems within society.

for example - last year nigeria decided to implement the IMF policy of increasing the price of petrol - the knock on effect of that was a further decline in the standard of living of the average nigerian - the consequences or symptoms of this have been an increse in the crime rate - kidnapping, ritual killings, armed robbery etc which have peaked dramatically, would it be right to blame the perpetrators of these crimes without addressing the root causes of these crimes? in other words does it make sense to spend hours castigating armed robbers and other criminals without asking why nigeria continues to implement economic policies formulated by western powers like america and britain that create the kind of poverty, miserty and hopelessness that force people into a life of crime?

You say that nigeria is only 13 years old as far as implementing democracy but i beg to differ - nigeria is yet to implement anything remotely resembling democracy, a dog that is born in a stable can never be mistaken for a horse but will remain what it is - nigeria is a creation of the british empire and has remained so since 1960, nigeria in its current state was created to serve the interests of the british ruling class not the people of nigeria - the sooner you realise this the better for you, almost all of nigeria's leaders since independence have been handpicked by britain - those who were not chosen or who deviated from the instructions of the british empire were assassinanted or removed from power, all the nigerian people have ever got out of this set up is flag indeppendence which is merely symbolic and means nothing.

Nigeria can only become truly independent when it throws off the shackles of economic and political domination from the US and britain - but how do we do that? - we create awareness among the masses - the more people know where their problem is coming from the better their chances at defeating it.

we have to get organised - there has to be a mass movement of nigerian people from all walks of life that must be willing to remove the current system that we have in place.

this is how the chinese defeated the western powers and became what they are today.

I agree with ayox2003, it starts from the family, where most values are developed.

In actual fact, most of the poverty issues we complain about will reduce drastically, if tackled at the family level.

More often than not, there is almost a linear relationship between poverty and values

Why would a low income earner have 7 children and raise them in a room apartment or ghetto?

How do you change the system when your economic policy is decided for you in washington and london?

This post is typical of nigerians attitude: shifting the blame. And it goes to show you are one of the nigerians that needs re-orientation. Listen, without any doubt, the West have done more harm than good. But take a look at the situation of the country right now and u'd agree with me that the harm we have done by ourselves is gazillion times much more than what the West's done.

By the way, how does this post correlate with the issue at hand? Did the West make you drive against the traffic flow as in the OP's post number 2? Or would you boldly say the West forced you to vote for the Senator just because he is from your village? Did the West tell you to bribe custom officers instead of paying a fine? Gentleman, the West is overrated. We need to do some home-keeping here bro. Ghana did theirs and its gradually getting better with Ghanians, Botswana did theirs and they have an enviable democracy. Nigeria can also do it okay?

cap28:

Again you talk about the West and its cartels. Oh yeah! The cartels are milking Africa. Let me whisper this into your ears: these cartels are everywhere, even in the West. Why do you think the US fiscal cliff negotiation is stalling? A negotiation that would bring US to recession if it fails? Cartels. Mister Cap, cut the crap! Cartels have been before we came into this world and cartels will remain when we leave. We joined WTO the same day with Malaysia, why has Malaysia been able to take oil-palm shoots from Nigeria here to become one of the largest producers of oil-palm in te world? She has 4.5million hectares of land used for oil-palm and exports 39% of the world oil-palm. Arent there cartel in Malay too? Or the West controls their production and trade dynamics too? Do you know the number of jobs that oil-palm has created in there? Keep blaming the cartels! Shior.

cap28:
you can not bring up family values when you have not dealt with the more pressing problems that influence the value systems within society.

this is how the chinese defeated the western powers and became what they are today.

Lastly, the Chinese are yet to defeat the world powers and they may not even defeat them in our lifetime. The Chinese also have their short comings but I would use them to engrave my point.

1) Chinese have values. They are ready to keep those values with their lives.
2) Chinese have succeeded in creating such an atmosphere for themselves to thrive. Their homekeeping is superb. Remember Bo Xilai, the Party chief that was expelled recently in China cos of corruption? Do you know the latest news in China? They are calling all party members to declare their asset privately.
3) China is spending a lot on education- home and abroad.

All these things boil down to all what I stated earlier.

Re: Reasons Why Our Society Is Underdeveloped by KDULAR: 8:38am On Dec 30, 2012
I want to say that hardly is there anyone who has at a time or the other perpetrated or participated actively in reaping the benefit(s) of any of the afore mentioned reasons. This calls for a sober reflection and for us to really think about what we want.

I want to add my own submission and one main reason is to me is that makes us live in a new world with an old mind is RELIGION WITHOUT FAITH ( mainly " Christians and Moslems"wink. In our country here it is hinged on the bolded. We defend this religion from not the faith in God which it ultimately preaches but on politics. Rather than access and bring the humanity into the religion, we are engrossed with knocking out and judging each other from our different religious stand points.

Nobody prepares Amala or Fufu or Tuwo by stirring the pudding in the other direction but towards self. Rather than we the adherents read understand and pray to God or Allah for the the understanding of the principles of the letters and the applications in each situations and endeavors, just like the two individuals the adherents of these religions claims they look up to( Jesus and Mohammed). We take the letters in its face values and use it for the desecration of humanity rather than the improvement and THIS is very obvious from the posts here seen on Nairaland.

Furthermore, we start bringing up political issues that happened thousands of years back in strange far away counties that had no bearing on us and their offspring ( modern counties) that does not give a breath about our welfare and wellbeing Economically, culturally, socially and even religiously except they want to extend their dominations). We keep aligning ourselves with such without thinking about the fact that our own destiny really is in our hands. Some parts of the country in Christianity started same some years back in this identit and allignment issue taking cognisance of our cultures and traditions ( not the religious)and today, they,ve carved their identity although not popular but it creates them different and they are nonetheless Christians.

Of what political economical and social and indeed religious relevance is the issue that happened between the Europeans and the Middle East ( Arabs Persians Berbers and Hebrews) hundred of years back to me ?. Spain , Greece, Malta, Tunisia and Turkey have for long left that chapter and are moving ahead infact making money from relics of the conflicts.
It is for us in Africa and indeed Nigeria to start looking inward into our humanity and ourselves first and how to better ourselves Practicing opur religions with faith and not the politics and stop Comparing prices between religion loke women in markets and as much as possible,remove thT FROM OUR POLITY, and I think our society will be better.

ThankGod u admitted, then you are no exception.

At post, Nigeria needs total overhauling.

uncle,
go and read up the definition of government. i also urge you to read leadership and fellowship.
a leader leads and a follower follows. is it our fault that we are stealing as a result of what we learn from our leaders?
a good follower will work in obedience. we do what they tot us. in a football pitch, good players play according to the coaches'instruction.
when the coach asks that u play 4 -3 -3, if you play 4-4-2, u are not a good follower.
if a nigerian goes to american uae, they go through driving tests and get the necessary clearances before driving other they will face the law. what do u do here when someone is not ready to go and test u rather he wants 1k to even give clearance in absentia? until these stealing/death bound politicians learn to make laws, interpret them and punish law breakers, we can do nothing unless we are ready to answer rebels and bring them down via violence.
