I cannot die for Nigeria because I believe if I die Nigeria would miss too much,and as such I would prefer to Live in Nigeria and live for Nigeria, to make Nigeria a better place

@Poster, I do not believe in dying for any country. I do not share that need to attach myself to a country or people. That concept remains foreign to me even at my age. I am sure in the minds of those who do it, it may be the best thing ever but to me, I don't understand that at all. Now I can die for what I believe, but I do not believe in a country, I believe in a cause, in God but not in a country. I can go to war if I will die cause I believe in the cause being the right cause regardless of what people think about it. Just that whole dying for your country/Tribe/state etc, does not gell at all.

I can NEVER die for any country, ESPECIALLY NIgeria. If i cannot do it for England, then i'll never do it for Nigeria.
I just hope and pray that Nigeria becomes what it should be, then the question of dying may be considered, not before.

It's a hopeless situation.

dying for Nigeria is an exercise in futility.
We still cant find a crashed aircraft after 3 weeks.

If needs be, I can die for Nigeria and no other country. Our men are becoming slimy and spineless these days. Where are the valliant Nigerian men I used to know? Our ancestors will surely be fuming over this new breed of cowards with peewee.

No, they are simply becoming smarter. They are suddenly realising that all their fathers who supposedly gave their lives for Nigeria did so in vain. Abiola, Kudirat, Rewane, Dikibo all paid the price of democracy with their blood for the likes of Obasanjo, Babangida, Atiku, Anenih to reap where they did not sow?

Look at Kingibe today? The same man who claimed to be "fighting for June 12" opted to serve in the regime that killed his presidential aspirant . . .

Why waste a drop of my blood on behalf of those who could care less?

Go and die if you want, we'll fly our tattered flags at half-mast for you and promptly carry on looting the nation.

Why am I complaining? This may be the only opportunity for women to become head of states, chiefs of army,naval and airforce staffs. Go girls, our men are loosing their courage.

the mind goes to waste when u die for your country. u can sacrifice for your country but there's no good in dying.

Our ancestors will surely be fuming over this new breed of cowards with peewee.

you are more valuable alive than dead.

You are very correct but you won't use that as an excuse to let your enemy subdue you because you wanna live. Some people will have to die inorder to buy freedom for the living. Freedom is not for free.

If your men are becoming slimy and spineless, then i wonder what you women have been waiting for before you take over all these posts.
What move have you done on your part to achieve this? Or do you usually mistaken sexism for feminism or gender equality?

I can neither die nor fight for my country…the best I can do which is more effective, is to pray
