Every country is blessed. All we need are rulers who are focussed, who have vision, who are unselfis, and who have the zeal and determination to make their vision for fatherland come through  not the type of visionless, zealess, selfish, undertermined and corrupt leaders that we have in Nigeria. In Nigeria, God had blessed us with everything to make us great except that these bunch of vagabonds who called themselves leaders keep hijacking power and are tempting God.

My 9ja friends,

As a born American I can tell you that all is not well here. I think many people may look up to USA for now because for many years now, we were a world leader in many different ways. The country was founded by people who had a great vision of what they wanted this country to be. Many people in history worked hard to make this vision come true, and it has been true for many years now. The problem is that like other empires, people get lazy because they are satisfired with all that they have. The people lose their drive to keep improving and all that is left is an attempt to keep things the way they are.

And this is the America of today. My country no longer has a vision to keep moving forward. Many of the things that made this a great country (personal freedoms, desire to work hard, desire to be the best) is no longer the case. So for all you people who think America is so blessed, keep paying attention and you can watch over the next 20 years how america is losing that blessing.

Sure, America does not always get it right, and NEVER WILL, but that won't make it SENSIBLE/ NON-IMBECILIC to try to compare America with Nigeria in ANY WAY. 

Honestly, that a country does not get it right ALL THE TIME does not remove anything from the fact that it remains a blessed country. Blessed countries are not perfect countries, neither are they countries without turmoil and hard times. No, instead they are countries that have been through many hard times but eventually learn to stand backup and better at the end of it all . . .   grin

Re: Why Is America So Blessed? by buzugee(m): 10:01pm On Oct 13, 2010
from my experience of living in america i dont believe it is blessed. i think it is cursed

1, in order to survive you have to get on the 'train'. the 'train' meaning you have to get yourself plugged into this system of monitoring your credit rating, doing your taxes, working long hours, having over 10 different kinds of never ending bills, healthcare if you have family, etc etc etc. it is a very complex system that turns people into numbers and robots and in which most americans are angry, crazy , suicidal, drugged up just to survive, dependent on prescription pills, and all kinds of distractions just to stay sane. most americans are indeed very angry and miserable people.

2, about 30 percent of the population of america live in trailers. these are huge aluminium boxes that look like houses but they are mobile.

3, another huge chunk of the population live in the projects. these are huge mammoth buildings that are gang and crime infested

4, the place is heavily policed and heavily monitored. in my city alone, their are like 10,000 red light cameras. so that you feel like you are in a fish bowl being watched. you mistakenly go through a red light camera, thats $100 you gotta cough up

5, there is always some shooting spree going on. so this puts people on edge and makes it difficult to trust anyone. like in naija how everyone on your street is your padi ? well in america everyone on your street is your potential enemy. especially if you are black

6, the number of unemployed people is 50 million and underemployed is about 50 million too

7,  the number of people that live on the streets and under the bridge is about 1 million plus. in california they have a place called skid row. this is a huge street of homeless bums.

8, lots of animosity between the races makes it a pressure cooker to live in.

9,  they have places called soup kitchens. at night all the poor and downtrodden queue up for bread and soup. the lines are so long in my city, it is crazy. this is how they get their food to eat.

in conclusion ? i think america is a blessed place for the top 1 percent who own all the wealth and a cursed place for the bottom 90 percent who get to scramble for 1 percent of the wealth

in conclusion ?

Drum it to their ears.

A real American tells the truth about America, a fake one, a Nigerian American tells lies about America, even when we can read and see the truth, and they are ready to defend America with the last drop of blood in them, even if tomorrow, as they step out of the plane, someone tells them the truth about them how being black in America is shi t.

I will say no to the part about working hard. Sure, not everyone gets it but many still do, and yes, times are hard and probably mean you may have to work harder to get that dream of yours ( depending on how high you are aiming right there).

Now to the part about loosing the blessing, Well, you could be right but at least you still admit it is blessed !!!  grin

So you why the past world power failed so easily ? Because they were more concerned about economic and political progress but the US brought a whole new perception to the whole but mostly those that had more to do with negativity.They cast an imaginary freedom coupled with the atheistic belief,give little regards for ethics and morals.the idea is that it has polarized its tentacles to areas that affect the socio-cultural lives of people.so if the US fails say maybe political or economically,it would be remembered for those socio-cultural values it impacted on the lives of people.just like gay and so on.

Re: Why Is America So Blessed? by donclemo(m): 10:28pm On Oct 13, 2010
The simple truth y American are so great today and are different from Nigerians : They always strive to be the best they are always trying to invent new things make research and develop new ideas and follow it to the last.  for example look at Benjamin Franklyn,George Westinghouse inventor of the train Henry W. Seely inventor of electric iron,Charles Cretors  inventor of pop corn machine and many more. In Nigeria today even if i try to invent a new thing the poster wouldn't even support me. Have u asked urself how many people still pound yam with motar and pistil in Nigeria is it not possible to invent a machine to pound the yam if there is a machine already invented by Nigerians how many of u use the machine. Africa especially Nigerians dont like to see people succeed. What happens when you invent something that is going to make ur country recognized for an invention in the world. Ur own people begin to talk bad about u , they begin to look for a way to kill u, they look for a way to stop that invention. yet we want to be great. Until we change our mentality we are not going anywhere. I know we have good tailors in Aba is it not possible for Nigerians to import clothes to America and other countries in the world we have the man power, we have the cheap labor yet if somebody begins to plan to do something big the next thing is for people to begin to plan his downfall. I have a friend in the US when he was in Nigeria his father bought a car a Mercedies benz only to wake up the next morning to find out that his tires were stolen, car stereo stolen, his Wind scream broken and they damage the car. Nigerians change your mentality If not urent going NO WHERE IN THE WORLD
Re: Why Is America So Blessed? by EPOMA(m): 10:30pm On Oct 13, 2010
In a very short words, America is so blessed becos they work had to make sure every other country is poor or look up to them. Why do we have trade wars,why have America interest in so many countries, but at the end of the day they do well for its Citizens.
 Every one will have their differences on this issue. I would rather someone still my country's money rather than cause situations like wars in a corrupt manner to make money and then send its citizens to die for no reason.
Re: Why Is America So Blessed? by makajibbz(m): 10:35pm On Oct 13, 2010
Nigeria is far better tham u.s, based on how many people die each day.

Quote from: Ileke-IdI on Today at 04:26:45 AM
Even tho some of thse natural resources were "stolen".  Labor --- > Brain drain, cheap labors etc. Land ---> Some of their companies are also abroad, they spread out, helps bring money into their economy.

The level of ignorance here is appalling.

1. America was not built on brain drain - contrary to the false tales we are constantly told. The backbone of america's economy is built on the hardwork of white americans. The only reason there is "brain drain" at all is because WE fight tooth and nail, pray and fast for visas to go there. America didnt beg us.

2. cheap labor? And the labor in India and China would be practically free then right? why havent they become so great?

3. The outsourcing of jobs is NOT a boon to the US economy, it only helps the rich who can make more profit (cheaper sources of labour), avoid paying proportionate taxes and take advantage of misguided govt tax breaks.[/Quote]Thank God that on the bold, some of us who are in america are not sedentary. We travel and see this vast country. We know that the bold is absolutely false. Blacks, Chinese, Japanese, etc participate in the larger idealism called america. People who visit the back waters of america will wonder if the poster ever left the state, or even the the town he lives. America is more than urban centers.

It doesn't matter how many people die to keep America in peace.American lives are more precious to them ,so they have to been in Afghanistan,Pakistan to wage meaningless war all geared towards nothing.Sometimes I kinda like the Iranians and the koreans for standing up against the US.

First it was Iraq,they invaded under false pretence of looking for WMD and took over their oil.later,they ventured into Afghan looking for Talibans and they are planning to also take over the drug business there.So it's going to take a while before they churn out another yeye and oppressive foreign policy.

America is blessed because?

There is no 419:  Nigerians invented it

There is no fraud - only in Nigeria

There is no drug: Naija reigns in drug

Every street is paved with gold

No corrupt politician

No corrupt police officer

Noone takes bribe

No breach of human rights

No bombing and no false arrests

No guatanamo bay

No oppression of Islams

Everyone gets what they want

Noone sleeps under the bridge

Youths dont carry guns, very respectful youths

Schools are the safest

No murder suspect goes un nabbed

Street crime is zero

No NEPA

No natural disaster

No armed robbery

Crime is so low.

1000 dead Arabs is not a figure to one dead American

Americans can occupy another country any time they like

The American president is the most powerful

Noone can make atomic weapons but America can stockpile it

Every race is equal in America

No rich, no poor in America, everyone is rich

Naaaa, any one who says America is not blessed needs a check up.
