All the unity, love and togetherness we shared then have gone into Oblivion, what we have instead are wanton slaughterings of ourselves like never the way we slaughtered chickens or cows.
The leaderships are in disarray, they lack focus, no specific agenda, no blueprint whatsoever.
Anything goes in our political space, no respect, no honour.

We treat ourselves worse than how we treat our pets at home.
Then, we had two major political parties, the UPN and NPN with proven ideological directions but what we called political parties today are devoid of any ideology.
It is all about 'trials and errors'.
I watched this finals sent by a friend, Dele Ibiikunle on Facebook and I wept and I wondered if it is same Nigeria we are in today.

We are in precarious and pathetic situations that only 'we can stop the mindless killings'. God has left us to our own wisdom.
We see things in different perspectives, we refused to reconcile our differences because of our greed and selfishness.
Watch the likes of star Footballers in those days like, Emmanuel Okala, Best Ogedegbe, Kadiri Ikana, Muda Lawal, Christian Chukwu, Segun Odegbami, Adokie Amaesiamaka, Alloysius Atuegbu, Felix Owolabi, Usima and a host of others, they played as a team in oneness, unity and love. They succeeded.

SOJ WORLDWIDE...ONLINE NEWS with a difference.

Nigeria were never one from day one, WE ARE JUST PEOPLE FORCING OURSELVES ON EACH OTHER.

Buhari has changed everything for the worst with his cow centered economic principles and policies .

Nigeria has passed.

We are now living in cowgeria..

Headed by cowhari and miyetti Allah.

A yoruba adage states that, a house will be peaceful simply because the bastard child in the house is still very young to cause trouble... Statistically, if we look at what the op said.. The last time Nigeria enjoy security, education, infrastructure, partial good governance was in those days... Good governance ended during the period of fela and Co that were arrested and jailed because speaking out were no longer free. Then comes education began to deteriorate.. Government sponsored some people abroad to study.. Nowadays the government can not afford to pay full salary to workers again.. Then as we were told.. Secondary school graduates usually get good jobs... Unlike now degree graduate can only get npower job for 2years.. Infrastructure.. Cocoa house then but now no good roads, no good accommodations for students in universities and colleges, electricity zero, strike actions from no payments of salaries.. Which brings me to this question... Where are we going Which direction Is it forward, backwards or we are stagnant like a spoilt car I rest my case

The Will of The Almighty shall come to pass in this nation in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST

Good old days

With this kind short boxers wey dem use play ball in 1980s, how dem take manage their blokos without tight?

Isn't it funny this is just a few years before the Muhammad Buhari coup of 1983?
Almost everything died with Buhari, the military started dehumanizing citizens, the beginning of state sponsored terrorism, the destruction of the economy and so on!
That man is a plague, which is why people like Tinubu and Atiku must be punished for bringing the despot back!!

I don't think so, we're only good in pretending then. I pray such day will come.

Yes, things were better because the authorities dealt very swiftly with ethnic upheavals and religious ones like the Maitatsine problem. Imagine if Maitatsine had happened in the last 10 or 20 years?

this is one Nigeria for you

Ehen! You no mean am ooooooooo....

Igbos only love one Nigeria when it suit them. While others are practicing one Nigeria in those time, Ibos were abusing the privilege in southwest and Midwest

Do not be deceived, Nigeria was never one from the beginning. After listening to the guys from NINAS, I was enlightened the more.

Watch the debate of 14 years old Boniface Offorkaja and his Nigerian counterpart from the North with other teenagers from other parts of the world.

You are a Kuffar that should be enslaved. While you are seeing a human being when you are talking with them, they are seeing you as an infidel who should be enslaved.

And we can never be one . Make we divide , make everyone Dey go their ways

BeeBeeOoh:
Nigeria were never one from day one, WE ARE JUST PEOPLE FORCING OURSELVES ON EACH OTHER.

Nigeria have never be one and can never be.

Freelane33:
And we can never be one . Make we divide , make everyone Dey go their ways

I tells you bro, the division of Nigeria will save a lot of lives

Nigeria is the only country in this ruled by Cow Herders and the herders have ruined everything that bring us together as a people.

Naija was Neva one b4. we were just like ozo the simp and nengi. Fuckin northerners forcing themselves on other regions.

We all can't remain in family house forever, the population has increased immensely with directionless leaders at helms .
But most importantly, foreigners are tactically usurping bona fidel indigens.

BeeBeeOoh:
Nigeria were never one from day one, WE ARE JUST PEOPLE FORCING OURSELVES ON EACH OTHER.

I never knew "Truth" can be written in three lines until I read this your comment
