Calling Nigeria useless is a strong word to use IMHO, but to be truthful, all what you said is the truth. I know we truly have a long way to go.

If everyone decides to run away from Nigeria, then who would be left to make it a better place.

Turning the country for better starts with you and I.

Coming back to help fix the country is the greatest mistake any sane person will do. I won't use the word useless cos it seems to me people living in there loves the rot. If you don't, after yrs of trying to change you will just find yourself blending in with everyone else . It's like sharing a flat with dirty roomies. One day you are tired, you move out or wait for them to change while cleaning up after them

You drive right, you get cursed. People calling you " Mumu carry your yeye car comot for road" . You stop to let kids cross a dangerous road, you are shouted on. You try to find out why the cops still holding all your licence . They won't release it until your Roger them.
What about the clinics , ministries etc.

Right now, going back to Nigeria, pls just go straight to your village. Fresh food, air , at least you escape some of these nuisance . Nigeria cities are in a mess. Very high pollution. Noise from churches and mosque. Generators running every night.

As at the last time, calabar is the only calm and clean city I know. I don't know what it has turned to with the present government.
The elected thieves keeps stealing and killing. Very sad. sad

Why all the noise? If Nigeria is useless, why not renounce/revoke your citizenship permanently? Granted, Nigeria has many issues but so do most of Nigerians living in the diaspora. Some of these jokers make out to be more American than George Bush or more English than Tony Blair. How sad! But come o, who do you guys think you are patronising? Why not stop all the griping and whining and think of what you can do to initiate a change, no matter how small? Instead of flaunting pseudo-sophistication and virtual affluence why not try to emulate the good things that privileged citizens of developed societies do. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and many more super-rich philanthropists have been known to shun flamboyance in order to advance the cause of their societies. Could the same be said of these so-called sophisticats? What have we done to make a change? Is it not embarrassing to boast with another man's land where you contributed close to nothing to develop while denigrating your own for the fun of it? Would all the 'phoney' and affectations change the fact that you remain a n****r, sort of a carpet-bagger? Please folks lets put on our thinking caps. We should quit over-indulging ourselves in the warmth of another man's fire and then forget to make our own. Stop dissipating your energies recounting litany of woes:think of what you can do to change your motherland. The hues and cries are what they are: a cop-out.

hydeka: Have you been to other countries apart from Nigeria and the one you reside in now? Your conclusion based on your little experience makes me question your capability of sound judgement. Our problems may be many but which other country doesn't have problems? What we need at a time like this is the morale, will and encouragement to become a better people and not this your pessimistic blurting. And please don't ever return to this useless country again unless indeed you are also...#oh forget it! this debate is pointless!#

We all know Nigeria has problem, we Nigerians living in that country knows that but coming from a white land after licking their aszes and use that mouth to call Nigeria useless speak of you.

Nigeria still have long way to go and we want change by protesting, starting a revolution but we can't because we are too "religious" we are waiting for God to come down from heaven, in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya they all protested for change.

Poverty, unemployment is very high in Nigeria and this is because of the bad government, corruption in our land.

My dream is too fly out from Nigeria to live a good life but what gives the guarantee that I will live a good life in a country like america where PhD holders from Nigeria are working in factories, washing toilets, cars to earn money for a living.

Nigeria is not useless, pray for Nigeria.

RANDY1: even if you have uninterrupted power supply ,good roads ,organized housing , hospitals and schools in Nigeria,in fact that would be the beginning of Nigeria's Woes .Nigeria will still be a shiithole like Detroit,West Philadelphia,Camden,Toledo,Mississippi and the rest of the black shiitholes which all have constant power,good roads,organized housing,hospitals and schools .

I have a test for black people , Here's a brand New city. it's got all the infrastructures you'll ever need ,everything is intact . take it and live in it , I'll be back in 5 years to check up on you .

no whites allowed in the city. let us see the wonders black people are capable of . give every black person in the city 200,000 dollars as a head start . I'll be back in 5 years to check what's up.

Are you talking about adults or babies?

What a pitiable dishma pishma. The Bauchi state government has a case to answer, including the school management. Who knows, they could also be culpable in the mismanagement of the funds allocated to the school.

Oya look at the cut off marks into the federal schools in Nigeria
That piece of information IMHO is the most authentic piece on the state of literacy in Nigeria state by state.
If anyone ever wanted to know where very state or region stood educationally,there it is.

How can anything good come from a nation with such disparity and korokoro favoritism on the basis of state of origin.
A nation where mediocrity rules supreme over intelligence

The fabric and foundation of that nation stands on a pack of cards

america also has affirmative action.
a program that gives preference for minorities n blacks when it comes to college admission, employment n govt contracts.
ben carson and so many successful blacks today once benefitted from the scheme.
there's nothing wrong in quota system.
u cant just neglect a certain region simply because they cant compete.
so long as we remain a nation,
its important everybody is carried along.
whether quota system has been utilized effectively or if it has actually achieved its objectives is another matter entirely.

It is your lucky day today as I will give you a free lesson. My pay is normally pretty high but consider the lesson a present from me to you. wink

Even though wikpedia is a popular website, it is NOT considered a reliable source. Do not use wikipedia to prove a point. If you want to provide scientific FACTS, use RELIABLE sources.

Reliable sources come from INDEPENDENT people or groups of people who do research according to the highest standards of propaedeutics.
Their research will be OBJECTIVE, RELIABLE, VALID and at best representative.

It is EXTREMELY important to pay attention to the sources we use and also to how PRECISELY we read statistics BECAUSE unreliable sources can be used to promote PROPAGANDA and be therefore very DANGEROUS.

Homework for you:
Be ready to explain what I have just said in your own words tongue

There is no affirmative action anywhere in the civilized world that calls a failing grade a pass
Prove me wrong
None
Stop comparing a well thought out idea to encourage the disenfranchised with the stoopidity that obtains in your nation
Blacks in the USA were an enslaved people,conquered ,shut out and not given a chance
That was meant to carry them along but it didn't change a failing grade to a pass like your country does


Did the Igbos ,Akwaibomites and Yorubas plus Benue indigenes ever conquer northern Nigeria ?
Were they ever enslaved by us
Did our forefathers humiliate them,lynch them or exclude them from schools and colleges
So tell me,what is the basis of granting them a special status ,converting their failures to passes and what is the origin of their poor testing grades?
Until we tell ourselves the truth,nothing will change


You have a group of people that value Islamic writings above western education and Nigeria enables them by lowering standards to nothingness to accommodate them rather than insist that they shape up of ship out.


FYI affirmative action where it obtains does not give preference to blacks
It ensures a representation of minority groups like blacks,women,native Americans,the disabled ,in some settings ,whites and others from rural populations and other groups shut out from the workforce historically.
Please don't insult affirmative action by equating it to foolishness
You have to have a minimal passing grade to be considered
If affirmative action as it is applied in the USA was used,most of those northern states would not qualify.

What are you doing in your own little way to make Nigeria better?
What is your contribution so far in your own little community or circle?

Everyone has a mouth that can complain or fingers that can type loads of rants regarding Nigeria, but it's only very few people that try their best to implement change...the change they seek.

I'm not a fan of Nigeria too, I also have a lot of disgust for the system but I don't make noise about it cos that would make me just like everyone else.
You're guilty of the same problem by trying to exempt yourself... you just complained about people in offices acting like gods, when you just did the same thing by making yourself feel bigger than your country.
