@op u want to know why? For me, it's simply this: Their founding fathers people like George Washington Carver were close to God and all their affairs were thrust into God's hands and just like the biblical(and even the mordern day)Israel, God blessed them exceptionally despite all the vile and immoral acts that emanate from there. Till date, the dollar bill still has the inscription 'In God we trust'

A real American tells the truth about America, a fake one, a Nigerian American tells lies about America

The land itself is fertile and ideally placed to produce agriculture. There is lots of water.

no ther country in the world would allow 12 million illegal immigrants to cross their border, with more jumping the fence every day , try this anywhere else and you will get hanged or shot on sight.

The US is great because they use their science and technology to explore and invent, not cut roosters heads off, running around dressed in masquerades,governors bathing in babalawo leaves,rituals,not touch and follow.

1.the name united states of america adds up to 77 which is a very powerfull number (power and leadership usually associated with the combination of people and nations )and when you break it down it it equals 5 which is a blessed and lucky number in numerology.
2. when you calculate USA the shortened version of united states of america it =10 or 1 which is associated with leadership and rising to the top in all endervours.
3. they were born or had their independence on july 4th 1776 or 07/04/1776 which when you add them up again equals 32 or 5(7+4+1+7+7+6) which by the way has the same meaning as their name explained above. someone born to be powerful,succesful with leadership qualities to lead people or nations or combination of both. 1 and 5 are very powerful numbers in numerology and in this case for the usa their birth and name are both very powerful and lucky numbers so therefore you can see y their are very powerful

I live in beautiful areas Always

The founding fathers were extremely smart people who left England to form a country they envisioned, a country that inherited the good qualities from England, and eviscerated the bad qualities.

yeah, I Hate the White people here,

But, I'm NOT moving to Africa, either

In Nigeria, we are largely religious with only a small % of those who can match their talk with their walk. If we uphold the law and do the right things in the eyes of God as a nation, God will lift us.

There are many reasons why America is blessed. One of the things that pops to mind is that Americans LOVE our country. Most will never consider leaving it for another country.

We are also not content to set back and let our leaders take us down the black alley. When there is something going wrong here, we stand up and scream about it. Because our politicians are more heavily watched they are not as corrupt. The strongest leader can be gone in the blink of an eye if they are found to be corrupt (think Tom DeLay). Many if not most truly love our Country & look out for the peoples best interest. Those that don't are quickly replaced.

Taxes are another reason. We all HATE taxes, but they are a necessary evil. They allow the infrastructure we love so much, the free education, the quality healthcare.

My country was founded by men who sought God in all things. The wisdom given to them has led us well. The basic principles we were founded upon & our Constitution has served us very well. Because we stick to these rules and ideals we remain strong. We are truly a country that is for the people by the people.

Something that has to be considered when you feel compelled to compare Naija with US is that you are really only 11 years out of Military rule. When America was only 11 they were no where near as strong as they are today. Nigeria is my second home and I love her (almost as much as my own country). Everyday I pray for the country. That corruption will end, the people will stand up and make the leaders do right, that the values and traditions (some of them, lol) will continue to lead your people in the right direction. I think that in 200 years your country will be just as blessed because you are a passionate intelligent people.

To those hating on my country, if you travel you will know that what you say is silly. There is opportunity for everyone here. If you choose not to use it that is your own problem. Poverty is no excuse because our education is free and easily obtainable.

Well, America isn't blessed. A country on its own is rarely ever blessed, at least not naturally. Their founding fathers had a vision for the country, and they worked to actualize it.
Plus, over the years, a system has evolved to support the development of the country along economic, political, social, and cultural lines, into a world superpower. They have their issues, but they also are darned good at coming up with fixes to the problems they encounter along the way.

Nigeria on the other hand is naturally blessed. However, the founding fathers of Nigeria were not even Nigerian to start with. They were British. Right now, the greatest beneficiaries are not even Nigerians, but Indians, Chinese, Lebanese, and a host of other strange peoples, who are HAVING A BALL right inside the country. The native Nigerians work hard and strive to ensure that the blessing is totally reversed, and the nation is turned into a hell on earth.

i think the answer depends on which side of the fence you happen to find yourself on if you live in america - by "fence" i mean racial divide. if you are white educated and affluent - you are very likely to think america is a blessed country, however if you are black and conscious ie understand the history of black struggle against oppression in america then you may probably think otherwise.

America is a nation which was established by slave owners, merchants and pirates, the main objective of these so called founding fathers was to break away from british control so that they could control their own political and economic destiny and to ensure that they, the elite or founding fathers would continue to maximise their wealth at the expense of the majority. This is where race came into the equation - the founding fathers (white elite) in their determination to consolidate their positions of power in american society knew that the only way to stay at the top and stay rich was by dividing the people - this why they introduced the racial pyramid of power, those at the top are usually (but not always) white and those at the bottom are usually black or any other non white minority. In creating a racial pyramid of power the white elite's position in american society would never be threatened because ordinary whites would look at blacks and feel that they were superior because they had not been condemned to a lower social hierarchy in society, this in turn would weaken or even prevent any chance of both races ever uniting to overthrow a tyranical white elite power structure.

Again to go back to the question - if you are white in america -the sky is the limit, as long as you show a willingness to work. You don't necessarily have to be educated as your boss at work is likely to encourage you to further your education or recommend you for promotion, if you are black, it is a different story, despite showing a desire or even an ability to learn and work hard you will face discouragment and obstacles at every turn, why? because the american system was not established for the benefit of blacks, remember their so called constitution did not regard anyone of african ancestry as an american citizen but as property or chattel . This is why african americans have spent the better part of 200 years fighting for equality in a country that does not recognise them as full fledged citizens.

America is therefore the land of opportunity as long as you are white, every one else can just get to the back of the queue and if there are any scraps left over a non white (black) person may just get a look in.

Let me just qualify the above by saying that there is one exception and this is in the field of entertainment and sports where blacks dominate but only because blacks bring in so much money that they are regarded as cash cows by their white owners who realise that applying racial discrimination in such fields will lead to massive financial losses for themselves and their shareholders, hence the exception.
