You may already know that Nigeria is the
largest black nation in the world and the most
populous nation in Africa.
You may already know that Nigeria has great
dependency on crude oil, plus all the other
opinions of David Cameron. Here are 20
unpopular facts about Nigeria.

1. Are you aware that all over the world
Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the
standard by which others measure themselves?
Do you know??.

2. In the US, Nigerians are the most educated
immigrant community. Type it into Google and
you'll see it. Not one of the most educated, the
most educated.

3. 60% of Nigerians in the US have college
degrees. This is far above the American national
average of 30%.

4. Nigerians in US are one of the highest
earners, typically earning 25% more than the
median US income of $53k.

5. In Ivy League schools in Europe and America,
Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from
other nations.

6. A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have
officially been named the smartest family in the
UK.

7. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet
Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super talented Nigerian
from Sokoto State.

8. The World's fastest supercomputer was
designed by a world renowned inventor and
scientist, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian
whose patency was awarded in 2015. This
means Nigeria has the patency to the world's
fastest computer: a Black Nigerian.

9. The wealthiest Black man and woman on
earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs.
Folorunsho Alakija. Both have no trace of
criminal record of any kind.

10. South Africa couldn't have ended apartheid &
achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role
Nigeria played.

11. Of the 3 South African Presidents who ruled
after apartheid, two of them once lived in
Nigeria under asylum. Both Nelson Mandela
(60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria
before becoming President of South Africa. We
gave financial support, human support,
boycotted an Olympics and our politicians,
musicians and activists campaigned
relentlessly.

12. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost
hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both
Liberia and Sierra Leone which the world
ignored because they have no oil.

13. When there was a coup in São Tomé and
Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected
President back to power.

14. Before there were street lights in European
cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights
fueled by palm oil.

15. 500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to
create magnificent art including the world
famous Queen Ida Mask.

16 . Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria
Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria
400 years ago in 1610. Google and see what
she means to Africa.

17. We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our
oil boom and built a statue for France free of
charge. We are not poor blacks. Nigeria is rich
and don't be lied to.

18. The first television station in Africa was NTA
Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE
station.
=========
Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria,
heroes abound both now and in our recent and
ancient past.
If all you do is listen to mainstream Western
media, you'll not get the full picture of your
Nigerian heritage.
Do not listen to any leader who says Nigerians
are criminals, no matter who he is, or his height
and position.

We're not a nation of scammers, drugs &
corruption, but a people with a verifiable track
record of greatness.

==========
Here is what CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western
media will not tell you about Nigerians:

19. On the 7th May, 2016 at Howard University
in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96
graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43
of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards
given, 16 went to Nigerians.

They will only tell you how Nigerians are
scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into
drugs overseas et al.
If you don't blow your trumpet, no one will blow
it for you. VIVA NAIJA!!!

20 . There are over 180,000,000 Nigerians world
over and only less than 250,000 of this figure
have traceable criminal records. This is about
0.14% of our entire national population in the last
20 years: nothing close to 1%. Shame on global
media!
Listen GREAT Nigerian; DON'T let anybody woo
you into believing that you are a criminal just
because you are a Nigerian. Nigerians are NOT
criminals. You are NOT a criminal. You are
topnotch; second to none around the world. Be
proud of Nigeria wherever you go. Take out your
Passport with pride. Be proud of our GREEN
HERITAGE. Be enthusiastic of our FUTURE
GREATNESS #Celebrate Your Nigerianness!
NIGERIA: GREAT NATION, GOOD PEOPLE!!!!

Merry Christmas to you all

God bless Nigeria.

The only problem African countries have is International Media because BAD news is GOOD news which is MONEY.

Op

I can't wait for ds injustice to be Justified.
It will soon Rise. #Watchout.
Merry xmas.

The only problem with Nigeria is bad leadership.


It looks like Nigeria is cursed with bad leaders.



Religion, tribalism, greed, indiscipline and corruption are our major problems as a nation.


I love my country and I strong believe that things will turn around for good if our leaders and follwers can get things right by God's grace.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Good

op your number 20 is misleading,your number 20 is as a result of the gross inefficiency in our system.
