An Intelligent population have a way of throwing out bad leaders. We've seen that even in the Arab world. You get my drift.

Therefore, you guys are just what the Indians believe you are, period!

May God visit you,na people like you can't tell people the real truth.

Nigeria is a failed country,if you really know what the poor masses are going through in this nation you won't spew that rubbish.

You are an ardent loyalist to some politicians,my candid advice is to tell whoever you lick his ass to support resource control and also practice true federalism.

You and your croonies hate the truth.the man said it all.

Not smart?

How many Nigerians do we have heading global companies?

Should i list Indians for you? Pepsi, Microsoft, Deloitte, former Vodafone, former Citigroup, just past Deutche Bank. Should I continue?

If we are honest we know he is telling the truth.

We have a poor attitude to work a work always looking for the short cut and quick riches.

Do we value ourselves in Nigeria? Licking foreigners Ass over our people. Do foreigners queue in Nigeria? No.

A person that said he travelled to another country and can't find something to bring back for his friend is simply blind, stupid, gullible and probably stingy. So he meant he can't find anything indigenous in Nigeria to take home. He must really have been living in recluse all his stay in the country. What about all those Nigerian artworks?
And it is quite disgusting that Nigerians are always willing to join some foolish expatriate to talk ill about their country. If India is heaven, then why was the man in Nigeria which is hell? Or does he mean that he prefers living in hell than living in heaven? Even Americans, Britons and many from many developed countries have come here and found something to take home to remind them of their stay in Nigeria. Nigeria has problems just like any other country has its own but we are not despondent. The comments I read here paint a gloomy picture for Nigeria, my people have developed so low an esteem they are willing to agree about any silly comment posted about their country. Really quite sad.

Now in NLNG, Indian expats is now the order of the day. The general boss word from the Nigeria managers is that their Nigeria subordinate lack competence, hence the need to import Indians. Still finding it difficult to understand such silly mentality

While I agree with the first point which is about us importing fuel, I don't quite agree with the context in which he said the second thing - importing intelligence

Importing intelligence is not necessarily a bad thing
There are Nigerians who are expatriates in the US, Canada, UK, US, Australia etc.
Does that mean those places lack intelligent people?

I understand that hardly happens where he is from (Asia) but it's not because they're smarter or better. It's because of their population. They have too many people for very few jobs so they can't afford to employ foreigners.

And I have worked with Indians, there's nothing so laudable about their country, work ethic or competence: those are essentially individual traits

Lol at the countries you mentioned!!.
There are Nigerians you claimed are expatriate there?
Loool!!
Expatriates in which/what field?

Or you mean footballers?

he said " in this country nothing worth bringing back, they import everything". I think that's a myopic comment.
also, see d comment abt us importing intelligence.

Indeed, we also import intelligence, not only in Nigeria but the entire African continent!. And, that's the most worrying.

Africa is home to world's largest number of expats. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/expat-money/11616082/Expats-in-Africa-earn-most-but-work-worlds-longest-hours.html

These are screenshots of a comment on facebook about Nigeria that broke my heart. I felt as if the insult was directed at me.

This man worked in same company with me as an expat for a few months. He's my facebook friend, and he's Indian.
Someone asked him to bring something from Nigeria, then he went ahead and lashed the country in his comment.

I want the world to see this careless post. I hope he repents of such a stinking mentality about Nigeria.

You are a moronic fuuktard!

Instead of you to focus on your leaders, you are wishing he repents.

Did he lie?

Repent to start telling you lies to save you face?

You Nigerians are the ones that have a stinking mentality. The same you just demonstrated here.

Would he say the same thing about USA?

About UAE?

About Morocco?

About South Africa?

About Malaysia?

When we tell you your country is a shithole cesspit, you will think it is an exaggeration.

People can smell the shyt the minute they step into your embassy for a visa.

Abi, but I find the comment of importing intelligence harsh, cos it implies that Nigerian are intellectually deficient.

Its our leaders who import intelligence not the citizens. cheesy

Its not an insult bro. That's fact.

When you hire expatriates, you are in the real sense importing intelligence.

Our leaders are a reflection of who we are. They sprout forth from among our ranks.

By the way, you and I voted them in. So we are no better.

The real problem with Nigeria, is it citizen, not necessary the leaders. They only thrive on our collective stupidity.

Blame both the government and the people.

The mentality of Nigerians must change from one of quick riches and short termism to one of collective growth and progress. Innovation and research. Reduce our religious zeal and invest in science and technology rather than pray for everthing.

He 'was' a colleague.
He's being paid thousands of dollars from Nigeria's mny so that he can contribute to her development, he apparently doesn't av much value to add, as he doesn't see anything good here, but still wants to stay. I feel he shldnt av made such a comment in public. Sadly, many other expats are like that. 'collect the mny, mess d place up'.

he is your colleague and Facebook friend.
