Americans and Canadians usually do thanksgiving celebrations every year and it's always great especially when a nation should bring one day to unanimously give thanks to God irrespective of your religious affiliation. Do you think we should have such culture in Nigeria where christians, muslims and others for once can visit each other, celebrate together and thank God for a good year in a prosperous nation?.

Prosperous on what grounds; our endangered lives or the country's development? The later has little or nothing to do with nigeria.
If so, why the thanks?

Why aren't we prosperous? Do you know how much we have right now in foreign reserve? The so called prosperous nations from your perspective are in huge debts that are bigger than the atlantic ocean.

If you wish to compare the amount in the foreign reserve and the human and natural resources we had and still have; nigeria is nowhere prosperous.

FYI: China used about that amount to host a 2 weeks event.

Wake up dear, its not too late yet.

Nigeria and china are not the same and do not carry equal burden. China has over 3BN population while Nigeria has about 150M.duh

Hope you've not told any body this before? I think they are about 1.4BN.

If you refuse to do the maths with the above figures, then find another way to convince us that nigeria is prosperous.

damn nuzo, do u burn a nigerian flag ever day

Honestly, i cannot touch it for now cos i dont know exactly what it represents. Maybe, i will later; but that must have been when somebody gives me a good reason to.

This thanksgiving is gonna be off the hook for Americans seeing how prosperous they were this year!

Time to Par-tay! Woo! Woo!

Is it me or are U always sarcastic?

Nigeria is injurious to the minds of the young; for old people, maybe, but not for the young.

I'm still working on my project of giving Nigerian youths annual scholarships to Russian, US, Chinese, Japanese, European, Indian or Canadian top schools to study, and hopefully gain employment anywhere on our pale blue dot!

We need to help our struggling youths - a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

No! Of course not!

Why do you ask?

Wait oo. Do you mean celebrating millions of Igbo people that were hacked down and are still being hacked down on daily bases by islamic fanatics in northern nigeria? Perhaps you were out of your mind when posting this thread. May be the Yorubas and awusas can do the celebration. Kukuma leave Igbos out of it.

Personally, would be a great thing to take a day to just chill and give thanx to God, i think God would be thrilled and be happy and would heal the land called Nigeria, the bible says, if my people will turn to me, i will heal the land, so we sure can start with a thanksgiving.
Is Nigeria prosperous, not at all, we are not at all cos:
1. most still live on 1$ per day and some even less.
2. health care still dont exist.
3. economy dont even exist.
4. no human right in the nation.
5. people cant even eat 3 meals a day.
6. employees still dont get paid.
infact, the whole place is still like a slave yard.
But it can get better.
However, i so much support the idea of thanksgiving.
