This is spot on! Unfortunately, the vast majority of Nigerians suffer from great inferiority complex (both the government and the governed). We seek for validation from anything ‘white’ and see them as superior beings.

Nigeria is never independent.

Britain positioned Nigerians to manage her resources in Nigeria. The headquarter is in Britain while Nigeria is only a branch office. It is the same as MTN hiring a Yoruba to manage their office in Lagos.

Obama flew all the way to Germany to deliver a speech when he was Candidate Obama. To a crowd of over 100000 people

That does not mean that Obama was responding to the call of his slavemasters.

Political candidates have been travelling abroad to give speeches to foreign thinktanks. It is part of campaigning.
Different senero Americans abroad vote so u can campaign abroad but 9ja abroad don't vote

It is how one gets noticed.

Maybe Farroq is sour because his beloved atiku was a no show .

Chai..

Boyfriend: Babe, my people are ready, we're coming next week to see your family.

Wife-to-be: We must go to CHATHAM HOuSE before marriage. My family wants to see whether you're capable or not!

Boyfriend: Babe, what do you mean?

Wife-to-be: I said CHATHAM HOUSE or nothing..!

peter0071:
for now, the Chattam house is the only and foremost platform for Nigerian candidates to sell their personalities and candidacy. So if we want to downplay that role, then its better we get an alternative. Get another good platform to sell your candidacy

You have to learn to read an intellectual piece and respond appropriately.
Just cause Obama flew to Germany does not validate leading candidates queuing at the door of Chatham house as if it's inec headquarters. That's the point you missed about the article.
That Atiku has not shown up can't be a reason for Farooq to be sour since he actually pointed out that Atiku is also guilty of same behavior in 2017 & 2018.
Learn to read and understand before making comments.

America has military bases in Germany. So millions of potential American voters live there. So Obama can be excused. Let's call a spade a spade, maybe shame will catch these shameless 'leaders' small.

Arise TV tried to build that alternative platform but spoilt it by doing favourism

Modified

And yes, I know what the article says...the candidates by delivering a speech at Chatam house are somehow being subversilent to their foreign masters. Yeah, that is the kind of thing that I have gotten tired of hearing.

Didi2d:


To me Arise and most TV station in Nigeria are guilty of this, favouring one political party or candidate more than another.

Broadcasters in Nigeria are gradually dropping the ethics of the profession. Yes, they are human and definitely they must or should have their own candidate, but as far as you're a professional broadcaster, you must not be bias in doing your job.

Point of correction


Obama flew to Germany to speak with American troops based in Germany

Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee spoke to a huge crowd around the Victory Column in Berlin's Tiergarten(ph) this evening, Berlin yime, about two hours ago now. Police estimate that some 200,000 people came out to listen to the address. In his speech, the only formal address in a week-long foreign tour, Obama called on Europeans and Americans to stand together to quote, "defeat terror and dry up the well of extremism that supports it, and, to fight threats from climate change to nuclear proliferation." And he was clearly speaking to two distinct audiences today, in Berlin of course, and also to voters listening and watching here in the United States. We're going to hear some excerpts from today's speech where Obama said this city of all cities knows the dream of freedom. He called, reminded everybody that this city, Berlin, was a flash point of the Cold War.

Racoon:
Our self inflicted inferiority complex is what makes the Western imperialists exert their dominance on our polity. Nigeria's problems are within. So face the electorate that you will be answerable to back home first not like a druggie that is frantically avoiding the anger of a nation he sold into catastrophic doom because of his inordinate ambition to be president.

inferiority complex that causes psychologically damaged, formerly colonized people to inferiorize and disdain their own country and its culture and to uncritically valorize other countries and their cultures
