They are beautiful Is there any city in Naija with jacaranda?

OMANBALA1:


Pride is a very destructive thing!! Infrastructure wise Kenya, Ghana and Rwanda has left Nigeria behind. Look at the quality of leaders they produce to begin with. Today, Niherians are trooping to Ghana, SA , Kenya to acquire quality education and you are here wasting your energy. Have listen to Uhuru , Akufo Addo and Kagame speak ? They exude immense knowledge and conviction. Nigeria on the other hand is still contemplating among Kwankwaso, Buhari, Dambazzu, Attiku and the rest of those trash who to elect....I am frustrated with our condition. Why can't we elect people in the mould of current Emir of Kano, Soludo, Kingsley Muoghalu and co. I don't mean to actually elect the guys I listed but Nigerians in their mould. What is wrong with Nigerian youths?

OMANBALA1:
Nigerians are hardworking and probably the most successful Africans due to our population and the very harsh system that has toughened us and made it literally impossible for us not to survive anywhere. But actually it is not a positive thing because it has compelled us to sustain and bear pains sufferings. We are more desperate and will do unbelievable things just to get by in life due to hopelessness. Nigerians are aggressive, rude and unrefined yet they mistake it for "confidence". We need a President who will change the thought process and worldview of the average Nigerian because it faulty.

You can insult the Igbos and call me IPOB or whatever but these are facts.

TayserMahiri:


Some countries like Ghana cant have that terrorism because terror operates in a vacuum. Nigeria is a fertile ground for terrorism because there is a large leadership vaccum. Even in Kenya the terrorists have to operate from outside the country because here there is no leadership vacuum and the terrorists know that. Its not about size.

TayserMahiri:


If I may ask. Why do you think Igbos are disliked? (I learned that here I had no idea). Were Igbos justified with the first Biafra war? Do you think Igbos are responsible for the mayhem in Naija or is their agitation (and subsequent hate) a result of other issues that were/went wrong? Im asking cuz recently I watched a speech called The Danger of a Single Story by Chimamanda Adichie and I was impressed then I learned she's Igbo! Sorry to sound tribalistic but Igbos seem to produce too many sensible and bright people to be as terrible as they are presented here.

justtoodark:


pictures of things that dont belong to kenyans,yes.....

when this foreigners start making strange demands,then una will smell una yansh....

dont trust foreigners...you may make them to kenyans,but they will never see themselves as you....

very dangerous gamble you kenyans are playing......

Timewilltell3:



What a low life question. Is there any African nation as advanced as Nigeria in education , health , military , standard of living, English speaking ,smart people, travelled people , ownership of passport, business mind,music , movies , science etc ? are you a fool? .

OMANBALA1:
Igbos are involved in many social vices around the world not because our ideologies but because the Nigerian broken system. But NO Nigeria tribe or any African tribe can match the Igbos in wealth based on per capita. Igbos are still by far the richest African group, by a very wide margin and we are not talking about drug money here. Igbos even do trades in Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, India and many other ridiculous places no African can ever dream of migrating.

The resentment the average Nigerian have for the Igbo man is not because the Igbo are criminals but because of fear of complete economic domination. Sarduana of Sokoto had expressed this fear, the last Oba of Bini had expressed this fear, the Oba of Lagos had expressed this fear and many Nigerians live with this fear which show is offensive way. But they all love Igbo women, of course.

Nowenuse:


First impressions do matter to gullible people. People who easily judge a book by it's cover.
Sadly, there are more gullible people in the world. So, yes I agree, Kenya's ethic of first impression definitely pays off in many ways.

How embarrassing it is for people to later discover how boring a book is in spite of it's fascinating and captivating cover page! That's Kenya.

I might have not been to Kenya, but the researches and discoveries I've made about Kenya in contrast to the way Kenyans here brag about Kenya has given me a perfect clue to the picture of the country. Sorry, no! But I'll pass.

Using North Korea in analogy to Nigeria speaks of the depth of your ignorance.
North Koreans live in the world's largest prison and have no access to the outer world unless what they are being fed with. Is that the same situation with Nigerians who have the largest access to the internet and satellite television in Africa? Nigerians who are also the most widely travelled Africans? Hell No!

Learn to use your analogies well or go back to your alma mater and ask for a refund of your tuition as I always tell you guys..

LMFAO, the question should be is there anyone dumber than you on this forum ? I'm guessing there are two more , the ones who liked your stupid post . Education ,that honour goes to South Africa and Egypt, check top 10 best universities in Africa and top 10 best secondary schools they both rule. Health ? South African , Kenyan, and others are cured in their own countries, Mandela didn't die abroad, so there you have it . Military , we have more soldiers with less technology, Egypt , SA , and Algeria make their own weapons , so there you go again. Lol, Nigerians are running to Gabon, Kenya, Botswana, Ghana and others just to enjoy peace and ease of life , so what standard of living are you talking about ? . I won't even mention South Africa, I've lived all over naija before relocating here and seriously can't see what we can compare ourselves with, their bad neigbouhoods are even better than lekki In basic amenities . English speaking? when our accent is one of the most mocked? Yes we have many educated naija people who sound good , so does SA , Ghana, Kenya, and others ,btw English is a Whitemans language not ours. Smart people can't possible be the poverty capital of the world, that also goes to your business mind point. We are more travelled because there is mostly no comfort back home , if naija was half of what South Africa is then how many of us would be desperate to move even going as far as moving through libya . Music , we have good artists yes , but Sout Africa has good musicians and diversity of generes. Tanzanians and Congolese also make great music . Movies ? I know we are improving but in advanced countries our movies are used as an example of mediocre acting and production. South Africa alone has quality movies that have been nominated and won international wards , if quantity yes naija wins but quality I will give that to South Africa again, same as music video production . Lol, science ? What do we manufacture or produce in naija ? . Like I said before ,Brits, Americans and South Africans are known to own less passports than countries like China, Nigeria, India, Liberia, Pakistan etc , now ask yourself why . Stop displaying your stupidity online , it's really nauseating to watch. If you want to defend naija then please stop using embarrassing points.

Jayceon:
I just want to touch on the bolded.Why do idiots think owning a passport guarantees a new lease of life? If you lack survival instinct,you just lack it,it doesn’t matter where you go in this world,if you ain't strong enough to swin with the sharks you going to drown and get devoured.

TayserMahiri:


My friend, that unveiling looks like a perfect fail for me. Failing right from the start

nemesis8u:
When it comes to R & D in pure science and applied sciences no African country is even at half the level of competence of South Africa.

It takes decades of investment and nurturing of human resources to even possess the fundamental skills and know how.

Daejoyoung:

And why do you expect any African country to be above the level of South Africa?
South Africa has a solid foundation to build on. ln 1890 for instance ( before Nigeria was even born), South Africa already had the Johannesburg Stock exchange, and access to Whites man education.

Lol, you wouldn't get it . With many Nigerians it symbolises a way out of the country, which most imagine is automatic success and wealth . Plus it's not s easy to get like it is here , without paying a bribe , it's not your two weeks , it can take months even a year unless you settle someone . That's what I always tell people, []if you can't survive where you have an advantage, what makes you think you will make it in a foreign land?[/b]. This is the reason we have criminals littered everywhere, we are so quick to spit at our country and run off thinking things will be good for us in other countries as they are good for the citizens only to find out it doesn't work that way, we will have to work 10 times harder , which we detest and turn to crime ( fast and easy money schemes). Sigh!

In the world scale only US , Japan , Russia , China , India , EU , South Korea , UK have the skills , in-house facilities and resources to undertake R & D in the same.

One of the few examples

The world's most complex machine, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), a project to prove that fusion power can be produced on a commercial scale.

ITER, the most complex science project in human history, will use hydrogen fusion, controlled by superconducting magnets, to produce massive heat energy.

Scientists say a pineapple-sized amount of hydrogen offers as much fusion energy as 10,000 tonnes of fossil fuel coal.

The ITER project is funded and run by seven member countries

1.European Union
2.China
3.India
4.Japan
5.Korea
6.Russia
7.US

The ITER project cost is about $22 billion. The European Union is paying 45 per cent of the cost; China, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the US each contribute 9 per cent equally. ITER's member countries finance the manufacturing of project components via their own national companies, shipping the parts for assembly at the reactor's site at Cadarache, in southern France.

African countries except for south Africa have a long way to go , as of now they r not even in the picture

nemesis8u:


No offence sir

But most of u guys r ready with excuses when the narrative goes against u.

South Korea also never had a solid foundation to build on but where r they now ?

Same for China , India , Japan.

Our youths are lazy and brainless. At least you know that nigeria is not working. Most of my brothers from southwest only want to hear lies well they are suffering . A lot of people in south west do not even have jobs but it seems we are happy. Only thing we like party party suffering suffering.

Daejoyoung:

South Korea and Japan has benefited immensely from the U.S especially after the second world war.
China and lndia were both ancient progressive civilizations already before colonisation much more exposed than the native Americans or Africans.
This is not about giving excuses, and it is true that Africans on their part are not doing well. Of Course Nigeria at a time( no matter how poor) were way ahead of lndia and were more or on same level with China and way more progressive than Singapore/ Malaysia. Many things have continually moved on a downward slope for Naija, and of course the fault lies in us.
However we must tell a story completely and not always fall into the danger of a single story as Chimamanda Adichie advised. You must take everything into perspective.

nemesis8u:


Well I don't agree agree with u r points but that again is my personal opinion.

And the thing with opinions is that r simply opinions be it mine or urs or others

South Korea or Japan benefitted from America is what sense ?

Afaik it was only in the sphere of security

It makes no sense that Americans helped the Japs and Koreans set up their industries / research institutes etc which in the future would endanger the American industries / interests

Everything they did was on their own initiative and their own effort , they took risks they worked hard and they got the results

Among nations there r no friends only interests

China and India were ancient civilizations which meant they also had a lot of luggage ( socioeconomic etc ) which created more disadvantages rather than advantages.

China had to purge and kill millions of their citizens to conform them to what they r now . India had to carry the burdens of the past and r still struggling with it.

But inspite of that they r making a difference and competing with the west.

Big picture always matters but aren't they the culmination of small pictures ? So many small stories end up in a big story right ?



can u mention the time / period and additional info about the same. Would love to know

Daejoyoung:

Well my points are there for those who can understand to understand, and l can't keep going back and forth. So we agree to disagree.
lndia and China were ancient civilizations with cultures such as Hinduism( a common kind of philosophy for all of lndia) and then the dominant Han Clannish Culture uniting China, which means they have had more to get to know each other, fight wars, etc, and then learn from their mistakes and build on their part.
Japan and South Korea have benefitted greatly from the U.S, in almost everything and most importantly in transfer of tech, just after the second world war.
IF YOU CAN'T GET ALL OF THESE, THEN SORRY l CAN' T HELP YOU FURTHER.
