Who Is Responsible For Nigeria's Decay?

 u see, no one is free from this issue, unless and untill we seek for Gog intervention

Nigerians are generally good at speaking grammar and telling untruth.  now we have graduated to telling ourselves more lies. this is where our wahala is. we enjoy deception as a lifestyle.

i have always said if we swapped places with countries like USA and the UK it would only take Nigerians at most 5 years to ruin these places and start looking for visas to the place they ran away from. we don't plan for long term as a people so how are we  going to maintain the lovely environment we inherit. by the times the thieves steal all the wealth here and send them to private bank account in old Nigeria how do you guys  survive?

and  o by the way,  are we bringing our lovely police and nepa people along too? God help us there is great use of energy here because of short daylight and cold.

i hear someone talking about what the various tribes would do when they arrive.  the question should be what the various tribes  here have done so far.

i don't have figures for north America but i guess it wont be different from what we have in Europe. Nigerians are the highest number of prisoners in any European jail and that is not counting the large numbers masquerading themselves as Sierra Leonians, Liberians, Cameroonians, Congolese  and Ghanian's.

God has blessed us as a people  but there is something in our psyche that just think it is normal to get what you are not entitled to or work for.

some of you complain about the military as if the uniform is your problem.  everything you have working in  Nigeria today were all done by the military. the hospitals, schools, water and even the bad nepa. all the Nigerian  complaining during the buhari/idiagbon regime about being asked to queue up for things are better now for not waiting for their turn.  the fact of the matter is that the nation is full of very undisciplined people and i think there is something in the general populace that love disorder  because it is the only environment that allows them commit the abominations they don't like the result.

I agree!  The Arewa-Oduduwa rotational corruption treaty!  With guns to the rest of the "Nigerian heads"!  Then they indoctrinate and coerce the gullible East and South with carrrots and hang them after doing all the dirty work for them.

I will maintain this belief to ma grave, because looking at history. . . . .you can't deny it unless you are a coward or a "daft".  With the clandestine alliance between those 2 groups. . . . .Nigeria will NEVER progress. 

We can smile at each other from here to tomorrow on Nairaland and Nigeria or even the diaspora.  We are not deceiving anyone but ourselves!  THAT IS THE DAMN TRUTH! Even "agape" cannot help this matter.  One day is one day.  Monkey will go to the market and shall never return!

Unless you realize that Nigeria's problems stem from "tribalistic" frameworks, we can never move an inch!  Like it or not!  We can only deceive ourselves for so long.  Unless you are in the "ruling" class, you can see everything wrong in what the "forefathers" have done. . . .since you benefit immensely from the whole unjust set up----you will always be blind to the factstill your own children die and suffer for the sins of others,

Perpetrators never feel any guilt till the tables are turned and they become the victims!

bullcrap, when was this treaty signed.  wasn't alex ekwueme VP at some point. wasn't aguyi ironsi a millitary rule. wasn't Nnamdi Azikwe a president. haven't igbo's like nzeribe or okadigbo had the senate president seat.  the three major groups are well represented in power.  the people that are really marginalized are the minor ethnic groups. it's a myth that the hausa's control the power. southerners have had power but have done nothing with it. there are many examples such as igbenideon or iwu to go around. it's the mentality of nigerians that is messed up, not our ethnic makeup.


tribalisms problems mainly rose due to the "coalition" governments of the 60's.  the political parties aroused tribalist sentiments to get votes. 

Just like Atiku was "figure head" VP! Why don't you try taking the senate presidency and the VP slot so a southerner or Easterner can smell the presidency and see how being an underdog without a gun to point at others feels. Senate president and VP my pinky finger.  Which three major groups?  Ironsi for 6 months out of 48 years. . killed out of office like they kill the rest of the Southerners and Easterners? Senate presidency?  Minority groups?  I am happy you know they are marginalized.  I wonder who is doing the marginalizing.  The minority groups?

You are right. . . the coalition government of the 60s. . . The Arewa-Oduduwa Looters Accord? he he he he he he.  You are really trying hard to find new labels for old problems.  Keep it up!

Thank You Bawomolo, behind Abacha there were people from allover Nigeria looting along with him,

Nigerians themselves caused their own woesna it be Hausa, Yoruba, or Igbo or the rest of them tribes in Nigeria, they all had sth to do with its corruptions, esp. its unsanitary system
