Interesting comment. You admit that Nigeria is poor when it comes to infrastructure but not so when referring to its human capital. A couple of questions:

Does the infrastructure exist in and of itself, i.e. did it come about independently?

Shouldn't the rich human capital reflect in its environment, in the state of its infrastructure?

Is there any nation that has poor human capital? (and at the same time have great infrastructure?)

We naturally believe we are the best in Africa, there is also a lie that we are the giant of Africa, may be in terms of number though, not development or technology. But I've never heard Chinese called giant of the world.

A thread of Jan 2014 just making front page...Interesting.
@Topic: OP,the issue is that,an average Nigerian basically believes that we are far ahead of any other African country: in reasoning; smartness; in human and natural resources, in wealth (economy-wise),etc.We believe our level of civilization is beyond the african continent.Therefore,they have nothing to learn from other African countries ; they have no reason to compete with other African countries...
My opinion
I think Kenyans are one hell of smart people. Infact I call them Pakistanis in Africa. Damn smart Africans

I have gotten many opportunities because I'm Yoruba. I've met powerful people because they knew Yorubas and thought they were smart.

Ex: Got a great job partly because my boss is a great Fela fan grin (he keeps wanting to learn Yoruba sef)

I didn't know Yoruba was so damn popular around here.

I thank all my Yoruba bros and sis who left great impressions with these people.

I feel superior because I'm Yoruba.

Nigeria does not sell as much.....sorry tongue But I use it when someone talks good about Nigeria (which is rarely)

About Superiority or Inferiority I don't know. What I know is that Nigerians are great and you can't hide true greatness. The World knows Nigeria is the hope of the Black man. If anything goes wrong with Nigeria then Africa is in trouble can you say that about any African country? Nigerian Military trained and still trains the Military of soo many African Country, ask Botswana there was a time when the white man believed that a black man couldn't fly a plane. When they landed in Botswana, the whites there insisted on seeing the supposedly white pilot after being told the pilot was a black, a Nigerian, he still didn't believe and when he wanted to force himself into the plane he was rebuffed for security reasons. smiley .When a Nigerian Naval Ship was sent to Angola there was confusion everywhere this was I think in the Sixties or seventies. The portuguese were bewildered when they saw a Naval Ship fully commanded by a Black Captain. You can read more in General MC Alli's Book. Leave that aside, who knew Nigeria would Contain Ebola.?? They say our country lacks data and organisation true but we were able to trace all the people that flew in Planes that had the ebola victim on Board and any other person that had any contact with any other Ebola victim through any other means. Despite the fact that we did not have a prior plan. But we did not only suppress ebola we defeated it in record time without the help of America. Even WHO was surprised. We might not be sophisticated but we get the Job done. There are only three types of people in the world, Blacks, Whites and Nigerians. God I thank you for making me a Nigerian. I am Proud to be a Nigerian. Our Greatness goes before us.

You are right; the same story here in UK. At my working place, you ll see all these other Africans shivering over trivial working related issues but trust Nigerians; you see Nigerians saying to one another "Nothing they happen".

I never believe that other Africans get intimidated by the presence of Nigerians until I started working in UK. What an interesting experience..............

I have taken my time to look into this issue holistically and all I can come up with is that Nigerian ladies and guys are far beautiful and handsome than other Africans from other africa countries; just my observation in UK and US.

Nigerian ladies in diaspora are killing other african ladies with their swagg; the way they talk, chat and walk is killing and it's d same story with Nigerian guys.....

You ll hardly see Nigerian ladies dating other Africans due to the fact that Nigerians are more superior than other Africans

It's our belief, it's our religion. The pride and dignity is what makes us Nigerian. Even when our brothers travel abroad they miss home because Naija is the hood, the real street.

From the palmy joint to the newspaper stand to football viewing centers; when you look at the unity in diversity; you see the true beauty of being African.


Don't hate, being superior is us,our religion and belief.

Proudly Efik
Proudly Nigerian.

Loool.

Brev, it's good to be proud and patriotic but stop flattering yourself - Nigeria isn't an intellectual property and there's absolutely no impeccable record for anyone to envy, apart from a few high flying individuals. Maybe, impeccable record in scams/fraud and naija Churches scattered all over the planet - who knows? grin

The earlier Nigerians start telling themselves the truth, the better for us all. The only reason why folks notice Nigerians everywhere is because of the huge population explosion. Outside that, there's nothing to be proud of. Even the ol'good Super Eagles have now gone bust! grin

Big ups to naij - but someone has to say the truth, no matter how bitter it's.
And out of all the numerous threads available for you to say your so-called truth, it is here you find appropriate.
On a thread where even citizens of back-water african countries like somalia are defending their own countries is where you choose to rubbish Nigeria.
I wonder what you are trying to prove.
