Why Can't Nigeria Be Like Ghana?

methinks medube is Nigerian (by birth and by marriage)  not so medube?

just because he's white don't mean he can't be Nigerian.

Never been to Ghana so I can't compare Nigeria to Ghana but from being a Nigerian American and being around Nigerians, I won't be surprised to hear how life is better in Ghana.I have never seen a group of people as greedy and self-centered as Nigerians.Just my two cents.

If you have a British Passport you are indeed British, whether you speak Igbo, Hausa, Pidgin or even Ijaw.

panthress, if I may ask, say I was given a form to fill and they have a space there for NATIONALITY, what should I put?  And by the way from what you earlier said :


You seem to forget that these were colonial rulers in those countries and eventually nationalised to be their citizens. That means you will accept a British man in 1958 to say he is Nigerian because he nationalised during their colonial rule


Indeed I am correct Nigeria to the core 

Thank you jare my sista

Frewilly now, you don't know what it means to be from a country. Go on dictionary.com and look for the word "citizen" come back and tell me what it says before you start telling people they don't belong to their countries.

If i got married to a white guy (his nationality will be part of mines too) talkless of a guy who was born in a country lived there all his lives only to get rejected by his people. Now i don't blame him for thinking Ghanaians are friendlier and more loving.

go on Dictionary.com and look up "citizen" i tell you.

you need to get out your history book if you have any and tell me that again. they might not  be a high significant number but i'll tell you there definitely are white Nigerians whose parent were actually born there (well i know of 2 families like that. the owner of the school i went to in Nigeria was one).

Do you actually know what the word "Nigerian" means??? at all?
you can be a citizen by birth, neutralization or if your parents are citizens. anyone is applicable.!!
even if it's only a passport you have (as long as the passport says you're Nigerian (or you want to say you know better about nationalities than those who made the passports?)

See, you were bred in Nigeria.
Wnat have you got to say about someone who was born in Japan, taken to america at 2 months and lived in the us all his life has families and kids. are you going to say his kids aren't americans? are you going to say He's not american
His children are definitely second generation americans whether their facial features show japan or not!!

well not you. If you don't got pride in the country you were born, leave it for someone who has!!!! not especially if you weren't actually bred in Britain! He lived all his life in Nigeria.


Go tell african americans that. of course africa is their roots but whether you like it or not, they're Americans. . . If you don't get curse rained on you. telling people where they come. jainsense. tis its tis.. . .


panthress, Frewilly. did you go on dictionary.com to look up the meaning of "citizen"?


If you say you're not British. then, your not British. agreed.
But medube definitely is Nigeria. go ask your teacher or someone who actually knows what it means to be from a country.

I'm sure medube knows his roots and is proud of it! if he wasn't he wouldn't tell us on this forum that he's white or even show us his pics (of course he has a beautiful Nigerian wife and an amazingly beautiful daughter too  . i couldn't forget that)

what have you got to say about the South African whites. They're south African. If you tell me they aren't then you've got issues.

nice Points WesleyanA

panthress just for your record, my grandparents were both born in Calabar, my parents were both born Port Harcourt and I and my juniors were born in Lagos, now even if u accept to be British, Im more dam Nigerian than you are British.

Secondly as stated in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria, Chapter 3 section 25 subsection (b)

"[/i]every person born in Nigeria after the date of independence either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents is a citizen of Nigeria[i]"

Well I was born after Independence to parents who were already citizens of Nigeria So whther you or anyone else (freewilly) accepts it or not, I don't give 2 f***

Even Medube knows the constitution than me or any of you.  and he actually has roots in Nigeria!!!!!

you can argue with him now!

You sound racist. sorry to say 

you can't just make a statement without backing it up with proove. Why don't you think he's Nigerian? what are your LEGITIMATE reasons?
If not for simple sentiments that it makes you mad that a "white" guy can be nigerian.
he's not a "boy" by the ways. he's an adult, married with kid(s).

I wouldn't want to be on your debate team anyways.

I'm not racist, it just sounds to me you just a kiss a** typical Nigerian. sorry sis don't care what you have to say the white boy is not Nigerian and never will he be one. Don't care if he was born there or has a Nigerian passport. And thats all I have to say about this so you all can kiss my natural black a**.

v

So sad to see my fellow Nigerians kissing up to some white boy in 2006

  ROTL... LMFAO!!!!!!!!! 

OMG OMG OMG.... That's is fxcking AWESOME and AMAZING!! Ohh please.. im laughing sooooo hard!!!!!!!!!!!! 

OLORIDIDAN, U R EVIL!! BUt i like it.

Ghana women are better prostitutes than any Nigerian woman trust me I've been around

Ghana has constant light YES, there are places in Nigeria that has constant light YES, me thinks its only in light and perhaps sanitation that Ghana beat us. Here in Uniport, staff children that cannot pass common JAMB because their parents are either politicians or friends of politicians send those "dumb" ones to Ghana who by the way charge them almost half a million naira for a session.  Its the greedy political class that is killing Nigeria but even at that its also our press.  The crime rate in south africe is a 100 times that found in Nigeria yet the US has not given a bad statement of em to their citizens.
