Disgrace from Nigeria

Pathakee and Funkybaby: All I can say is, wow! 

So, Armed Lion and Figurehead are one and the same, hmm. Stands to reason.

@ Figurehead: One thing you can't change is your personality, regardless of how hard you try. You develop it as you grow into adulthood, and the only way that would change, would be if you suffered a major trauma (to the brain, if there's one). There's absolutely no need for multiplicity, how do you actually remember who you are, on any given day??   

Anyway, back on topic.

Nigeria, like any other nation, has her good AND bad sides. Regardless of how black folk may paint her, the UK and US, despite being "developed" countries, are no better. Yes, life MAY be easier, but the average American, or Brit IS lazy, in Nigeria, you can't afford to be idle, else you won't survive.

When it comes to media coverage on Nigeria, or any other developing African nation, surprise, surprise, it usually reported by US / UK media agencies, and of course, folk believe all the media reports, because it's easier to do so.

When last did the Western media cover any positive attributes about Nigeria? I honestly can't remember. But, the negatives are covered constantly.

Disgrace from Nigeria? So, is everything about the West great? It's not unusual for the Western media to do a "fig-leaf" job on their negatives. Just because not a lot of negatives are reported, does NOT mean they don't exist.

Dirt on your clean white shoes? That was hilarious! There are slums here in the UK, that would rival any I've seen in Nigeria! There are ghetto's in the US too that you'D be forgiven for thinking you'D been teleported to some Ajegunle, if you were taken there!

I'm probably just as guilty as some folk who only see the negatives in Nigeria, and I'll admit it. But, I wouldn't blatantly come out on a public forum, and slate the country my parents were born and raised in, jeeze! No wonder the average white man / woman will rain abuse, you can't blame them, when her own citizens publicly say, "there's NOTHING good about Nigeria."

@ pataki

your personal insults/attacks are unwarranted man, lets keep this thread on focus.

I'm perplexed myself . . .

@ topic - I think this thread is a more a personal attack on vicjustice than it is a defence of Nigeria.
I don't agree that there are no positives to take out of Nigeria, but we would be decieving ourselves if we try to claim that the negatives don't far outway any positives.
Funny that most of those who sound so "proud" of their country do so from the relative comfort of foreign nations. uh oh

Is Nigeria a disgrace? YES it is . . . we are the 6th largest producer of oil in the world and yet at the bottom of the development ladder. We have no business having an economy worse than that of Botswana, we have no business with almost 50% illiteracy rate, we have no business having 70% of our population below the poverty line, we have no business generating less power than Ghana.

No other OPEC member is so poor . . . we call ourselves the giant of Africa but all we have to show for it is a largely unfed and disenfranchised population and we come here pretending to "love" Nigeria.

@Ape Man

    

Sorry o,HM no dey give chimps permanent visas.  If you were bright enough,unlike some of your guys here in North America,you won't end up an "exchange student" in Holland.  Abi your apeness reach your brain? Even people with "goat hearts" go UCL,you dey do exchange for Holland.   

Its a measure of how bad things are in Nigeria,that people are dragging up divorce rates  and haircuts. . .  , while some folks have been brushing up their visa expertise in a desperate bid to come to the UK.

Where are you buddies to tell you to desist from personal attacks at me? Compliation of stupidities.

What is HM? Do you mean Home Office?

Goat heart go UCL? Mr fake Corporate Lawyer, who are you deceiving? You want to call yourself a graduate when all you do is sit at home because of your medical status and you live on your parents gratuity?

Pataki na ape-man, that is a stale gist. Show us your Hammer Head of Horror. At least I have my profile picture uploaded, show everyone those big teeth and big head of yours, outstanding dwarf.

Pataki and 4play, please cut out the personal insults.  . You guys are too much for that.

O boy u no get shame. We no longer can tell if this is you or islander anymore. Same MOD, same distasteful use of personal information said in confidence to score cheap brownie points. The only thing left is that you have not highlighted your own so we can see better.

It were better u just had blank space there. don't show us the back of your head and come gloating about "at least i have my profile picture uploaded".

O boy get something else doing. This personal insult crusade is getting u no where.

lol aint it funny? 
I knew you for 5 years and u didnt figure on my list of people i cared a hoot about . . . is it now that i'D be seeking your attention?
O boy go enjoy your one man crusade of disgrace.

@ Chacal . . .
Myself i know, pataki i know, who are you?
Even if pataki and i fight till next yr, we are still bound to meet up in our small town as buddies again . . . you i continue to relegate to the dustbin of memory. 

I agree with Doyin13, i leave this thread until adults return to discuss issues.

@ 4Him,

You are a bloody pillock!!!!!!!!!!

Who gives a mess about you? You have been seeking ma attention all week
You went to Arsenal thread to start saying you hid your face in disgrace. . . what was that about?
You being dead or alive means nuthing to me, mate. . . .
I just think your excesses should be curbed as u are running around like a rabid dog.
Look at this balding gibbon talking about knowing me. . . . .I don't associate with tramps, faggot!!!!

What a revelation galore on this thread. So 4Him and Pataki go way back. Interesting, i have to say .

Pataki dear, can you upload that 21st party pic. . Hmmm maybe not a good idea, though the thought of it is funny
