MrRenaissance: The dumbest post I've ever read since the history of NL. Religion/Tribalism is the bane of our existence in Nigerian. Such a pity. Religion is actually the saving grace of millions of Nigerians... At least Christianity and Islam offer the hope of a better life after enduring this one, a paradise that exists to compensate for the hell they live in, and the promise of divine intervention into their desolate affairs... Imagine having to suffer the daily Nigerian grind without any hope of improvement? 4 Likes |

many people will say what have u done to effect this change we need, what can i do? What power do i have, i try my best to be fair in my dealings with my fellow country men, that's all i can do,like my state which is a PDP state, even if i and the majority of people in my ward vote for an honest and upright candidate from another party for ward councillor, the result will be doctored, and the PDP candidate will be declared the winner, what can we do, who can we report to?, is it the governor who had a hand in rigging that election, or the police who dey do wetin ogas at the top dey tell them, or the judiciary, who will adjourn the case till u are tired of going to court? 3 Likes |

Meddler: Let me give you just two of my experiences. I was home for an internship last summer and because I never really liked driving in the traffic, I leave home as early as 5am. One morning at Orile, I was flagged down by the police. He checked all my documents and everything was intact except one of the documents that was renewed whenever I got back home. I told him I had it but it wasn't with me and at some point, I told him I don't mind we going to the station so that I can park my car and then go home to bring the document. You needed to see the looks on his face. At the end of the day, I spent over an hour and his boss who came thereafter implored me to do whatever it is the guy wanted. It is highly pathetic and for me, in as much as things are not as good as we want it, the challenge still remains that it is getting worse with each passing day so I understand the pains of baby mama. 1 Like |

Babymama1: babymama1, pls go and read about affirmative action. Virtually every developed nation has a preferential program for its ethnic minorities especially in university enrolment. In Germany, 30-35% of admision into gymnasien(preparatory university school) is based on lottery and not merit. Eligibility for lottery is irrespective of primary school performance and such students may not be expelled from gymnasien even if they perform poorly. This is to ensure students from poor socio- economic background have a fair chance of graduating from the school. Special quota is also set aside for children of low income working class. In canada, the canada employment equity act requires employers in federally regulated industries to give preferential treatment to aboriginal people, visible minorities and disables. In most canadian university, people of aboriginal background normally have a lower entrance requirement and are elgible to receive scholarships. We can see from the 2 countries mentioned above that affirmative action is not all about compensation for past discrimination, persecution or exploitation by the ruling class of a culture but a system that promotes fairness and balance in the society. It also adresses existing discrimination. Although, i admit some countries e.g south africa and usa establish affirmative action to atone for past misdeeds. Now coming back home, I want u to get something clear. The inability of ur cousin or niece to secure admission into unity schools has nothing to do with the northern candidates low cut off marks. Stiff competition from her colleagues in enugu, anambra and delta fizzled her out. In short, ur cousin couldn't compete with her peers from the south. Pure and simple. Stop blaming the poor nothern child. Despite the ridiculously low marks for northern candidate in entrance exams into unity schools, they still dont get to fill up their slots. Therefore most of these spaces are re-allocated to southern candidates. So tell me, how were u cheated? U really need to stop behaving like the typical rural white american who blames black people for his failure to secure a fed. govt. job or his son's failure to enter an ivy league school. He simply believes those position were given to blacks who didn't merit it. He ignorantly thinks he was denied because of affirmative action. Concerning education backwardness in the north, passive approach rather than aggressive policy by succesive govt to promote education is the problem n not any preference for islamic education. For example, i see no reason why the medium of instruction in northern schools(from pry to tertiary) cannot be in arabic or hausa. They can equally write their waec or jamb in arabic or hausa. Its not a must u're educated in english. The most important thing is to be educated n stop being ignorant. Finally, u came here and started ranting, cursing, and displaying emotions about a system u dont understand. U even have a poor knowledge of the system u claim u are staying. If truly u're passionate about naija, why dont u ask questions or express ur concerns about the present state of the nation in a civil and matured manner, rather than displaying the typical egoistical american like know-all syndrome on this forum. My piece of advice; dont be hoodwink into accepting any political appointment in the guise of nigerians in diaspora, or else ur own case go worse pass Magnus kpakol. 2 Likes |

Nigeria is so failed a country to the extent, primary school teachers help their pupils cheat, a method i know they use is by writing answers on the back of wooden rulers they enter into the common entrance exam hall with. Instead of reading, WAEC candidates surf the internet for websites they can view the qnswers to theor next paper, they google questions right inside the exam hall. Secondary students will find it easier to narrate 5 series to you than stating the 5 laws of motion. The list goes on but i will pause here. The youth and middle aged prefer their lives and future in the hands of senior citizens (age 60 and above) who won't live long enough to experience the full ripple effects of our future that‘s being mortaged, than having the power to make decisions in their own hands. Nigeria and Nigerians are just a typical example of a failed society. We are suffering and smiling. 4 Likes |

GboyegaD:Reading a story about Abraham Lincoln he wanted to abolish slavery but the leaders in the house are against it. Were women allow to vote in the 1920s? women were like second class citizen then this triggered the protest of the women's suffrages. [img]http://terrycato.files./2013/07/man-spanking-wife.jpg?w=600&h=600[/img] This is how women were treated in America. This is how blacks were treated in America. So tell us was america in the past the same as america of today? I can tell you that they(Americans) went through what we Africans are going through. Yea America is first-world nation that makes we Africans useless and to lick their aszes. |

America never took us as slaves without the help of our greedy monarchs who sold us so cheaply for the sake of mirrors which tells you how terrible we have been since ages. To the issue at hand, we got our independence at some point where there had been modern civilization yet, we refuse to harness the benefits of technology because we like our leaders are controlled by our greed. This is the very reason we support mediocrity and sell our votes for 4 Dericas of rice and hide under the guise of hunger. |
