Nigeria? A country made up of 3 major tribes, who live together in a state of mutual mistrust, and suspicion, and ruled by a parasitic, cunning, and uncontrollably greedy elite.

if we really want to know if Nigeria is developing or not, then we should imagine what America or Britain are like when they were 51
Re: What Can You Say About Nigeria by superior1: 10:16am On Oct 01, 2011
Nothing. I have said enough without any impact!!
Re: What Can You Say About Nigeria by Orblonde: 10:27am On Oct 01, 2011
Stop blaming the leaders, it is also the people that create such leaders, sycophants who cannot stand up to corruption. %95 of Nigerians are corrupt rulers on standby. Na lie? How will the majority vote for the minority?

How very convenient!  What about Singapore which became independent in August 1965, and is 5 years younger than Nigeria?   Read about it on the link below and weep for Nigeria at 51.

Nigeria is a dangerous place to think and a risky place to argue.

You cannot think aright with the deluge of contradictions, bad leadership, bad educational system,  bad roads, bad security, bad basic amenities,

worst kind of poverty, terrible fanatical religiosity, irresponsible adolescent, irreligious clerics, myopic politician

You cannot argue with them, they either kill you or kill your concerns, (The them) meaning those mission minded to destroy Nigeria

Re: What Can You Say About Nigeria by john6006: 10:51am On Oct 01, 2011
I think trying to be hard on Nigeria is a mistake rather the attention must be shifted to the people ruling the system of Nigeria, is like having a good car with a bad or inexperienced driver,

Re: What Can You Say About Nigeria by MrWhy1(m): 12:23pm On Oct 01, 2011
NIGERIA, A nation where wrong is increasingly being justified. Where those who got their money through illicit means are seen as heroes and glorified. Where the Youths put instant wealth and gratification over knowledge and long-term planning. Where status, nepotism, cronyism, religious fanaticism, tribalism and every other type of negative isms is the order of the day. A nation where Natural and Human resources is a curse rather than an asset. Where religious leaders prey on the weakness of the vulnerable and extort the little they have. Where stupidity is seen as a normal thing.

A place where intellectuals go to quench. A place where education is becoming a liability instead of an asset. Where a bookworm is looked down upon and caricatured to go "Hustle" for money and stop wasting time reading books because in Nigeria "Money is everything". A place where corrupt leaders, officials thrive because of sycophants. A nation where an aspiring Youth would gladly say man if I became politician "me too go loot my own share". A nation of cowards that continue to deteriorate every day. Putting all that together, how do you measure it , A proud fool at 51 or proudly independent at 51?

With the way things are going, I foresee a practical failed state( because it is already a virtual failed state), a radical change(that could be violent) or the inevitable breakup of the artificial nation called NIGERIA!!!
