Your country is killing us with GMOs, Ebola, HIV, ISISs. US is a colonial master. Until we can get back at you, well just hate from far. And apply for visas to come take back the money siphoned from our land to yours by your multi nationals who stole all our minerals.

SlaughterGang:
Y'all mad you got denied Visas? Seriously stop the jealousy, it's downright comical



Or is there a better reason why you have such hatred?

Lucasbalo:
Go and tell the people working for those companies that they are getting peanuts in a country where an average citizen earns less than $2 a day. All your Thieflicians and their proxies stealing the country blind, how many employment they created in Nigeria. They take the money abroad. That's how useless your leadership are. Imagine a President has to travel to London to get ordinary ear of his fixed. You guys don't know how bad Nigeria is as a country because most of you are just used to third world way of living. Hating America won't add any positive to your life. It's only for entertainment on Nairaland.

Muafrika2:


I now see you are a Nigerian who ran away for greener pastures. You should have stayed here since you do not see anything wrong with multinationals paying workers less than 2$ a day.

I really don't know your independence fighters. But am sure they would agree with me concerning your kind. So will the future ones.

APCsupporter:


Bros don't mind those guys. They are too blind to see reality. America is an evil nation and we shall continue to say it.

ATERI:


Of course, there are better reasons why people criticize America than the laughable reasons you posted above. What type of delusion would make you think that people criticize America because they were denied visas? I mean, what are you thinking and where have you been living? Are you sure you are American living in America, because only a confused African-American would be surprised at seeing blacks that are critical of America. If you want an intelligent argument, maybe you should start by asking yourself how many topics that are critical of America make it to the front page of Nairaland. Please ask yourself how soft Nigerians are on fellow Nigerians, especially Nigerians that are in the corridors of power as leaders. You are displaying one of the characteristics of a typical American here, which is to comment and judge others without full information.

You can also tell us what percentage of the news that you watch or listen to in America that is positive and portray Africa, especially Nigeria, in good light? Or you just think that American networks should have monopoly on the demonization of others without any reply?

I like the way you have been characterising Nigeria in your postings here. Since America is a paradise, do you mind telling me what America is actually good at? Do you have the best literacy rate in the world or is income inequality in your country the lowest? What about your infant mortality rate and what is the poverty rate in God`s own country? When it comes to the indices that define a great nation, does America lead the world in any shape or form? Of course, I would give it to you that you are in possession of all the infrastructure of terror, but beyond that, anything? Yours is a country that doesn`t have a mandatory paid leave for your labour force nation-wide and you still think that people should not criticise America. Your America was responsible for the murder of the winner of the best presidential election in the history of Nigeria and so many other terrorist acts that have never been punished.
My brother, if you want me to define America for you, it`s the topmost terrorist nation in the world. Good morning!

Appleyard:


With that list, the United States of Anarchy is practically at war with the rest of the world. But, like we all know, some of our Kool Aid drinking brothers on the otherwise won't bother to checkout facts for themselves before commenting. None of them will borther to ask why was the United States voted as the greatest threat to World Peace? The only defense they can put up is that you are jealous of America's freedom and wealth. And you hate America because you wasn't able to secure a visa. Now, that's how you can tell a delusional gentleman from a critical thinker.

Let them be, brother. With time, they will learn.

What Moniker? This is my only handle here. this is the 5th handle i've created and i might even delete this too in a few weeks if i get bored here. I've had Braden102,Braden104,Braden107,Braden109 ,and now Braden105. I mostly post on property section.
All what you guys are saying is total garbage.You are the underdog . Every country always fights for it's interest .You think Russia or North Korea are fighting or your interest? None are innocent. Your bickering changes nothing . Even if Nigeria were world power,Nigeria would also dominate ,and other countries would also bicker about Nigeria. Blame your corrupt leaders for Nigeria's predicament.

APCsupporter:


Its your type that made this country what it is today. You sold us out for mirrors and bicycles. God will judge you.

Lucasbalo:
The garbage you posted is not for me. How did I sold you out for mirrors and bicycles ?. Go and blame your worthless leaders over the years who looted and still looting the Commonwealth. I have never taken a dime of Nigeria's money. Maybe you are sleeping when you posted the tripe.

Zoharariel:


Excellent post! I’d like the Amerikans including traitors like Lucasbalo & his Committee of Amerikan Defenders to see what a nuclear strike in Amerika looks like.

Amerikans are complete wussies, look what 3000 dead on 9/11 did to their psyche?

Try 3 million dead - with the CIA, Pentagon & all Central Government wiped out.

The oligarchs who control Amerika are cold, heartless, calculating psychopaths without allegiance to any nation, philosophy or culture.

For them, money and power is everything and everything they could get their hands on can be stolen, murdered for & appropriated.

APCsupporter:





Shut up I said its your type. These evil people set africans against each other and stole our resources worth billions by buying people like you with bicycoes and mirrors.

Lucasbalo:
Dummy, you don't know what the heck you talking about. Go and fuss at your useless leaders not people like me. I am not the source of your woes, it's your corrupt leaders.

Mindfulness:
SlaughterGang,

the reasons are many.

America has a long histor of slavery with slaves taken from West Africa.

People around the world watch the police shootings targeting young Blacks.

America's reputation (not only in Nigeria) is not clean. We can't deny that America's wars have often served their best interest.

America has been trying to impose their gay laws on African cultures, it's considered neo-colonialism, not an enforcement of human rights, which most Nigerians do not even enjoy in Nigeria.

Nigerians have been brainwashed into believing that other countries are controlling their misfortune so that their leaders can fill their pockets with the development aid coming from the USA or other countries.

And too many people, not only in Nigeria, love to think in black/white or good/evil categories.

These are all the reasons which I could come up with spontanesouly. If I can think of more, I will be back.

missjo:

I'm sorry to interfere, I saw this thread because I follow someone who posted here.

My questions are:
1. What's your opinion on the way the US tries to police every other country into doing what she wants?

For example, just yesterday, Hungarians voted against accepting Syrian refugees. The US is having none of this,but how is it the business of the US to determine if another country should accept refugees.
Canadian PM in the last UN summit made a move to accept refugees into his country in their thousands, why doesn't the US do same of she cares so much about refugees rather than trying to bully other countries into doing what they don't want?

Another recent instance is the issue of France banning Muslim women from wearing BURKINIS at the beach. Again, the US is citing civil rights and condemning it.
But how is it the business of the US?

2. What's your opinion on the Russian, China, and most notably, North-Korean anti-american sentiments?
We understand how potentially destructive it is for countries to develop nuclear weapons and then go ahead to test them. But do you know that America is the first and only country to have detonated a nuclear weapon?
Since this is the case, what gives the US a right to decide who should develop nuclear weapons?

China as a country enjoys trade agreements and economic partnership with the US, yet they are innately anti-american.
The censure in that country is so much that the government openly limits what it calls 'western influence' especially in their media. IS THIS A BAD THING?

3. Are you a Nigerian?
If not, why do you remain on this forum which is a product of the country which you detest so much?

Mindfulness:


Hungary is part of the EU and the EU and the US of A are partners on many levels. It is legitimate to criticise your partners.
Obama also recommended that the British do not leave the EU. While some Brits got upset, others felt he supported them. Whatever you do, there is no pleasing everyone, especially not in politics, be it domestic or international. We have to allow freedom of speech on a global scale, we live in a globalized world. As long as you do not use bombs to force your opinion on others, a respectful dialogue should not be much of a problem. We would live in a much more peaceful world if we allowed and respected the opinions of others. It's hard sometimes, I know.

I think that you have asked the right questions which can initiate an interesting discourse but your rhetorics is part of the problem. You speak of the US as one political entity when in fact the US only exists as one geographical unit. The US like any other country is diverse and divided into different political camps, which also differ in their approach to international politics.

I think that we should be careful to condemn an entire nation, which consists of diverse political, religious, ethnic and racial groups. The Iraq War was one of the biggest biggest mistakes in human history but was it the US who invaded Iraq? No, it was the Bush jr. administration and if you want you can blame his voters too but what about the rest of America who didn't vote for him and who protested against the war?

It's more important than ever that we differentiate.

Again, who is the US here? Was it Obama, was it a Republican or was it a journalist or maybe a blogger? I am commenting on US presidential campaign all the time. Do I live in the US? No! Do I have the right to speak my mind? Yes, I do. Does it mean that I want to force my opinion on people? No. Is it my business? Yes! I live in a globalized world and what happens abroad affects me to some degree.

Again, who EXACTLY detonated these nuclear weapons? It's not the cab driver in New York or the strawberry picker from California, is it? And it wasn't even Obama, was it? And does it mean that all future governments have to keep quiet because of what former governmets did?

Generalisation again. It's not that simple. Even Putin's relations with what is called the West are changing all the time, for better or for worse, like in an ordinary marriage . And like in Russia, in China alike, people support or oppose US governments and policies. You can perfectly observe how complicated these issues are in different European countries because while European governments have sanctioned Russia after the annexion of Crimea, Putin enjoys a lot of support from the opposition in some of these countries and people are divided into pro Russia or pro US. I was reading the comments under an article on the Syrian war yesterday. Europeans were fighting a cyber war and the two camps involved were either pro Russia or pro US. I was wondering if in all of this they forgot that this way of thinking is responsible for millions of casualties and children whose extremities were teared off by land mimes.

Yes, it is. My two cents. The media should be free and people should decide what they want to see and have the freedom to decide. State censorship is a very dangerous thing.

If Nollywood improves their quality, for example, more people will watch their movies. If African producers learn to sell their artists successfully, more American and European kids will listen to African pop, hip hop and maybe even traditional music, some already do.

Europe is full of sushi restaurants, Buddhist monastries, Muslim fashion and most people - despite the rise of right wing parties - do not complain but embrace cultural diversity. It's called globalization. You can embrace or oppose it but I doubt that anyone can stop it.

Lucasbalo:
Let me answer your three questions straight up. I am not in support of America policing or interfering in any country as long as America is not threatened. I am an isolationist in the sense that I believe America should worry about America as long as no nation threaten her. About China, Russia and North Korea, I couldn't care about them or their hatred for US. America is a very strong country that can take care of herself. Your last question was if I am a Nigerian and if not what am I doing on Nairaland. I was born in Nigeria as an American citizen by both Nigerian American parents but grew up with my siblings in US. I don't hate Nigeria because Nigerian blood runs through my veins. I just don't like the way the country is being run to the ground due to corruption , greed, nepotism and tribalism. I visit Nigeria at least once or twice a year to see my folks who are back to Nigeria many years ago after their retirement . In fact, will be in Lagos in December. Critiquing your leadership is the highest form of patriotism. I criticize America too because I believe she's not perfect . I criticize America for her interventionalism and police brutality and senseless killings of minorities mainly Blacks and Latinos. I hope you got your answers.

missjo:

Lol,you've got a funny way with skirting around the point of my question.
When a president makes a decision, America makes a decision. There's no such thing as differentiating the country into who supports what and who doesn't,this is a fact. The president won an election to be in charge of EVERYONE,not just those who voted for him. His decisions are American decisions,not Republican or Democrat decisions.

About the issue of Hungary,the question remains, what is it to US if another country refuses to accept refugees. It isn't the business of USA.
Also, why doesn't the US go get the refugees into its borders since it cares so much.dont you see how things like this make many countries develop anti-american sentiments regardless of having good bilateral relations on the surface?

Speaking one's mind is different from trying to force one's thoughts on another.
Again, what is it to the US what Muslim women wear in France?

America detonated a nuclear weapon,this is how history remembers it. It isn't judged by who was president,lol. Come on now,you gotta be joking by trying to make it seem like only few people are responsible.

What is the US scared of with countries that develop nukes?

If you ask me,i think they know very well that they're the most hated country on earth and will probably be the first target should world war 3 begin. You know this is the reason if you're honest.

China and Russia are visibly and proudly anti-american,no need to argue that.

It is a bad thing,sure.

The question is the Chinese run a sovereign government,they are not an America colony. They make their laws as they deem fit, it isn't the right of you, I, or America to tell them which laws to make whether we like it or not. Get it?

Mindfulness:


This is how democracies work and yet I won't feel responsible for a president declaring a war that I haven't voted for and I won't take the blame and neither will you. So yes, a president represents his or her country but not necessarily the will of every single person.



I am not here to defend every decision that the American government or people make but the referendum wasn't about Hungary accepting refugees or not but whether there should be a central European quota system deciding how many refugees should be accepted or not. Let's be more precise about it. Moreover, the US have accepted Syrian refugess as far as I am informed (even though relatively few) and they are still the country that allows many migrants in every year.

And yes, I see how many political decisions lead to anti-American sentiments and I understand them perfectly well because I was the one (back then still in school) speaking out loud against the war on Iraq. Today I am helping refugees from Iraq. Welcome to the globalised world!

But I would like you tell me who criticised Hungary (out of curosity) because last time I checked the USA is not a person.





Again, who EXACTLY criticised France? I really want to know.
The European Union and the USA see themselves as a union of shared values and one of these values is freedom of religion so an American is justified in pointing out that such a decision can be considered a violation of this value. And it doesn't mean that I don't see that many of them have no right to criticise Europe when their presidential candiadate is well know for his islamophobic statements.




Not a few people and not everyone either. That's the point. Albert Einstein fled Nazi Germany. Was he responsible for Hitler's decisions or was he affected by them in one of the worst ways possible? According to your logic, he was responsible for simply being German, right?




Now you are joking.



I don't live in the most hated country in the world and yet I don't want countries to have nuclear weapons. This is the evidence of human incapacity and pathetic and I wonder why it takes so long for humans to overcome it. And just by the way, who the most country in the world is, very much depends from whose perspective you are looking at it.




Another mistake that many people make is to compare Russia and China. China has an entirely different approach to international politics.



This here is the world wide web and it's not your right to tell me what to think or write, get it?
And since you have the freedom to criticise America and so do I, we can also criticise China because the decisions of their governments matter and because it would be hypocritical of you to criticise one country but tell me not to another.

I have a first experience with refugees who lost everything thank to Bush jr. and I see how this war led to the situation the region is now in today but I still won't join the wagon of those who think that every American is to blame for what political elites decided to do or didn't do.

Lucasbalo:
Of all the HAC members, you are the one that's very surprising to me. I really believe you are very intelligent and I am not patronizing you. Who cares about what some non entity says about how America is the most hated country in the world. Let you and i travel anywhere in the world with our different passports and see the kind of different treatments we get. I have traveled very extensively due to work and R and R. The respect of carrying that blue passport is unique. Will be in Nigeria this coming December and the respect is still there. All you need to do is go on to Travel Section on this Nairaland and see how your country men are jostling for US visas. Go to the Consulate in Lagos and see the behemoth crowd seeking entrance to God's own Country. You and your comrades in HAC can say all kind of vile things about America, the bottom line is that the Americans don't give a hoot. With all the unimaginable corruption and nepotism coupled with your Naira turning to tissue paper, that doesn't bother you guys. It's America that gets your mojo kicking. If I live in Nigeria, the worthlessly corrupt and whole fully inept government will be my numero uno concern. Nigeria is like a Titanic sinking and you guys are foaming in the mouth about a First World and First Class Country. What a misplaced priorities. I won't be worried if the house 10 miles away from me is burning while I know my house is on fire. Charity begins at home. Make Nigeria whole before you critique a great country called USA.
