Truckpusher and 50cal

Why are you lot fighting?

You need to allow it, Nigeria isn't worth fighting over.


Topic:

Artificial countries aren't meant to be a source of pride to anyone because of the identity crisis. I tried to look for something to cite, despite the medieval ages in which the country is stuck in, but I couldn't find anything that represents Nigeria. However, I can cite the different ethnic identities within the artificial embodiment called: Nigeria. Even the Super Eagles are rubbish these days!

....You cracked me up so bad

Lmao @ despite the medieval ages in which the country is stuck in........

I was only pulling 50's leg then he took it too far and I came bang! bang!! bang!!! but the mutherfucker won't just lemme be

No more fighting bro , hey 50! no hard feelings .....You're still my friend.

Corruption

Truckpusher: Jeez!!! Boy you've got to quit smoking that cheap crack.

We having an argument and you started talking about your phantom academic achievements that would put me to sleep and I replied your stuupid post telling you that you have nothing but a 4x4 cubicle you call home, while waiting for the next Government handout.

When you started talking about your supposedly academic achievement then you are the one who obviously needs a validation and not me because my academic achievement already translated to the green back 10 yrs ago.

Talking about observing me in this forum is funny to me because everyone here thinks you're an iidiot.......just ask around I'm not the only person that feel this way...........I'm done with your moronic rants, go to bed you're not in my league - Get that straight and stop ranting like a rabid dog.

Yeah I brought up academic achievements when you tried to mock my typos like you're some kind of English scholar.

I said my academic achievements will put you to sleep and that's the truth. There is no comparison between the two of us, it's akin to comparing a team like Real Madrid to Enyima.

Your comments are disrespectful to me, and do you know in ancient times, disrespecting someone of a higher social status could cost you your head?

Only pedestrian minds like you think I'm an idio*t, well thanks be to Tim Berners Lee & his colleague for creating the Internet, they've created a medium which allows simpletons like you talk to people you wouldn't otherwise be able to meet in real life.

Bruv, it's better to always tell the truth. Whenever I see the positive things Nigeria is known for, I see Benin, Ife, Igbo Ukwu arts etc.. And the perhaps the history of the African kingdoms from there. Evidently, today's Nigeria is still stuck in that era. Not throwing shades though.

In today's Nigeria, I've check everywhere and I can't even see anything. The country isn't an intellectual property, albeit it has a few distinguished individuals. However, that doesn't negate the fact that the overwhelming majority are just book readers - mixed with educated illiterates. No pun intended. As for the governance of the country and the institutions there - dead end.

Music: maybe Fela Kuti - apart from him there's absolutely nothing else on the global stage.

Sports: Nigeria isn't a global power in any sport. We don't dominate anything.

Er, I hate to say this, but I'd say a lot of naija women are riders and warriors - maybe naija women to an extent.


Anyway, you lot are my e-doozies, there's no point beefing about it - two different opinions but still the same soldiers. And Nigeria should be proud of something by the next century.

A useless one at that.
Makes nothing but wants to consume everything.
The giant sore of Africa and
A disgrace to the black race

Who is Obama to talk of my land?
Is it not in the same USA policemen killed 'Daillo' and of recent 'michael brown' what do we call that? Legal terrorism?
The pressure is much on Nigeria yet you see smiles on faces...I ask myself,would any other nation be able to hold their own amidst this troubles we face in Nigeria?
Look and thiink rather than Obama-ing your brains with BS....if Nigeria has nothing to be proud of,does that means you are nothing among all humans?

I don't know who you are,where you are,where you from,what your hustle is like,buh what I truly know is how you have made the month of August complete for me. I can't believe such a comment can be made in Nairaland where the hate for the word "Nigeria" is alarming.


imagine the st..upid op stating that Brazil is proud of her football.What is Nigeria proud of? what the phuck is he/she insinuating.


everyday on Nairaland threads are created just for the sole aim of national bashing.


little-wonder some baztards from ghana in the monikers of oxygen1 and Ashantiking keeps spamming various threads with derogatory comments on Nigeria just because we derive pleasure in bashing our own in forums like Nairaland.
