Tedpgrass: I remember seeing the Italian police for the first time in Rome more than 10yrs ago and wondered why they dressed so smart . Yes,Italians take fashion very seriously and Milan,especially near lake como is very nice. I visited Rome -the vatican,the coliseum (which is amazing) and then went to a small village called palombara |

Everybody knows that Europe is far more developed than Africa. That's not an argument. But, @op, your exaggeration is too much! From your narration, it will not be difficult for any good observer to know your personality. From my observation, I can describe you as a somebody who is suffering from low level/poor mentality, low self esteem and inferiority complex. Are you the first person to travel abroad? Those who have been living in Europe for many years do not even have this kind of your mentality. Many that have made it over there are even long to relocate back home. I don't really understand what you mean by 'their women are very beautiful, neat and do smile'. Does it mean there are no African/Nigerian women who are beautiful and neat? Does it mean Nigerians don't smile? op, something must be wrong with your brain. But there are many whites that prefer getting married to a black African. How can you be comparing a continent that is not more than 60 years of modern existence with the nations that have developed for centuries. Did you read history at all? Did you aware of Berlin conference of 1882, where these evil people shares African states among one another? Did you aware that the development that Europeans enjoy today, was paid by Africans. Europeans that exploited Africa of its human and natural resources for more than 50 years to develop their continent. 4 Likes |

Mizwisdom: Aunty said I ran to Asia. I'm chuckling like a kid up to no good! . God knows I love Nigeria walahi! The black race isn't inferior to any other. But when one takes an unbiased look at how things are done in Nigeria, and other sub saharan African countries, wouldn't it be fair to ask if there's something wrong with reasoning faculty of the black man? How can a people have soooooo much yet live in squalid conditions? I've come to a point in life where living abroad no longer gives me the excitement I used to have when I left 'janded'! These days I spend time wishing, and sometimes praying that all the facilities here were in Nigeria. Aunty, if we could have in Nigeria a quarter of the sanity, and amenities that people here have, a lot of Nigerians would gladly stay in Nigeria. I would gladly stay back, too. Nigeria is a blessed country with some of the best people on earth. Honestly we shouldn't be suffering this much and this long. May our leaders have a change of heart for once. 6 Likes |

HIGHESTPOPORI:Why can't people like you see beyond your noses? Was buhari your president 10yrs ago? Did Nigeria have the quality of life the OP described above? Most of you have been infused with the idea that an individual or a particular political party is responsible for the shiit we're mired in. If you and those with this notion can't mentally break free from such preconceptions, then these selfish leaders without positive vision for the nation will continue their misrule over brainwashed citizens in perpetuity. |

omoelerin1: just so you know, most countries in Europe were not involved in colonialism Britain, France, Spain and Portugal were the major culprits. yet MOST COUNTRIES in Europe, whether the one that participated in large scale colonialism (like Britain ) or the ones that had a brief stint in Colonialism (like Germany /Italy ) or those that were never involved AT ALL (Like Norway Finland Estonia and Sweden) are developed to a significant extent, tho at varying levels (Like Germany being ahead of Italy for example) Africans should find another excuse as to why they are still the bottom of everything good in this world 4 Likes |

gidjah:I aren't doubting the fact that we still have a long way to go even in terms of road. But honestly, the roads he posted is in no way different from what is in Abuja. If I have the opportunity, I will also leave the country but I won't bad mouth Nigeria because I have people here who isn't their fault that they are Nigerians. The worst is that the op has done nothing to even change his community. You guys over there should continue correcting our image and send the currency over here. We envy you guys. 1 Like |

princfred: Yes true.but we keep kicking. It's all but edurance. It took us many yrs t stumble on democracy. Even after independence. We shook we rocked but we eventually found it It will be so with a right leader eventually. We only need the right tide. I sense it's coming soon. The right tide. When the military exhausted themselves in killing and counter killing. They themselves settle for democratic options. The same vain, eleven the rogues of this nations politics finish cheating and counter cheating themseives, they will settle for organise institutional systems and right operational leaders. It in nature that men should seek order in immediate aftermath of kiosk. But we can do with real fighters in heart..not just mere literates. 1 Like |

Ugosample:You don't know what you're saying. Do you know the causes of African problems at all? Have you ever wondered why political instability, insurgency, and corruption are the order of day in Africa, and these things are absent in Europe? It is unfortunate my phone is doing somehow, I cannot type. Be that as it may, go and do research on politics of underdevelopment or look for any research work on African political economy. Then you will understand the root cause of Africa's predicaments. I give you this as an assignment. 3 Likes |

Adakintroy: They had a common enemy not exactly of there kind. Funny enough the common enemy had stayed long enough to improve their value system fundamentally unlike for Nigeria. If whites stayed in Nigeria long enough they would have improved the value system too. Even Nigeria took on colonial masters but afterwards, even if both they come fresh from schooling in University of Ipswich, how can you convince a Yoruba man that Tinubu is corrupt and deserves life sentence, convince Hausa man to say Abacha was heinous criminal and thief, Igbos that Nnamani looted his state dry on the national stage, that Ibori did not deserve a heroes welcome. The overridding mental factor of Nigerians is not facts or superior intelligence but slavery to warped culture, ego and ethnicity. The problem is fundamental not technical. The average black is too self-centered and ego driven to apply himself towards not to his selfish ambitions but to better society or humanity. Ofcourse exceptions abound mainly as he or after he has looted enough for himself. Even most who go to school obtain big degrees yet dont know the value of the education and use it mainly for ego/selfishness driven purposes and drive morally convoluted logic with the clout of the certificates to achieve such self-centered at most ethnic centered quest. 5 Likes |
