Reason Why Nigeria Is Better Than The Usa. by franklinjoseph(m): 11:28am On Nov 04, 2011 |
Everyday people tend to see something bad about our country Nigeria, but we fail to froget that Nigeria is a country and not human. People say that Nigeria is 51 years and we've not gone anywhere, but we fail to forget that 50 years is a very young age for a country. In my own point of view Nigeria is still a baby country. Just have a thought about how the USA would have looked in 1843, it would be far worse than Nigeria. America and other more developed are where they are because they have come of age. So my fellow Nigerians let's allow our country to grow and mature at it's time. It's just like comparing a 10 year old boy and a 40 year old man, there can actually be no comparism. God bless Nigeria! |

Many Asian countries like Malaysia who got independence around the same time as Nigeria were poorer than Nigeria. Look at them now 3 Likes |

You chose 1843 to compare? Well he is what it stands for USA.
It doesn't look like there is any "backwardness" at that time. 1 Like |

I am sorry to say, but Nigeria is the biggest disappointment of the 21st century. Reminds me of children living in a house with plentiful supplies of food and yet starving to death. One day things will improve, then and only then we shall return ! 3 Likes |

USA in 1843 was probably better off than Nigeria today (unless you are a black slave in the south.) Probably higher GDP/capita, higher life expectancy, etc, etc. I'm sure someone can look up the #s and let us know. 2 Likes |

nigeria is a conquered nation and a product of white colonialists - america is an empire which fought and won its independence from its former colonial masters - america has built its wealth on stolen labour and the plundering of other nations - nigeria was and continues to be plundered and ra.ped by europeans and americans as well as nigerian collaborators. 1 Like |

^-- A lot of truth to this, I guess. Still, better to be the guy doing the plundering and r.aping rather the guy being plundered and r.aped, right? Hrm. I'm wondering if malaria and some of these other tropical ailments actually protected West Africans from suffering the same fate Native Americans did. If it weren't for some of these tropical diseases (and our immunity to different European illnesses, which the NAs didn't have), it is quite possible we could have suffered the same fate as they did, no? If so, God bless malaria |

South Africa (which they moved to en masse) doesn't have quite as many of these diseases that causes the white man to die like a fly, right? |

^^^^ One of the highest Aids and TB rates in the world. Should I name others? But I get your point, white man seems to be immune |

AIDs did not exist in the 1700s, 1800s and early 1900s when whitey start moving to South Africa. And it isn't as if white in SA are having unprotected sex in large #s with black folk. Or with black folk in any country in large #s, for that matter. Interracial sex is still relatively taboo, in a sense. |

I can also say tha malaria didn't exist in 1700s and 1800s until whites arrived there and called it ''malaria'' |
Re: Reason Why Nigeria Is Better Than The Usa. by ektbear: 10:05am On Nov 05, 2011 |
Wtf? You do realize that HIV/AIDs is recent, right? And that malaria is old? |
Re: Reason Why Nigeria Is Better Than The Usa. by paniki(m): 11:21am On Nov 05, 2011 |
Just becaus whites discovered Nigerian oil in the 50s doesn't mean it was not there in the 1700s and 1800s. Aids same with malaria is white mans discovery even though it has always existed. |
