You guys arguing and insulting yourselves along ethnic Nigerian lines should be ashamed of letting some rinderpest gnu curry guzzler manipulate you like this. STOP and get a grip!

You pepe guzzler

Meanwhile as we struggle to comprehend the inexplicable Nigerian tale,,

There is a new world record by none other than a Kenyan in the 3000 M Steeplechase. A cool 8 seconds shaved off in the Diamond LEague

Kenya's Madaraka Express

Things do work here. We launch a brand new train service and it works seamlessly a year later, even more vibrantly. Even tourists have no problem using our public means in the course of their travels.

Okay so the Igbos have always carried that tag of neglected child. And the social vices after the war explain the cultic issues they are accused of? ok.

sharrap their....igbos are none of your business....igbos are family members...you are not.....you are an enemy.....

OMANBALA1:


Alot of factors contributed to the resentment of Igbos in Nigeria but I think the lumping of the three major ethnic groups were the root of the problem.

These ethnic groups has major differences that separates them. Their world views are very different, culture is different and before the amalgamation they knew little about each other.

Upon independence there were bound to be lack of trust because they do not know each other very well and has not developed enough interactions to iron out their differences.


I will deliver my points in little details but stay with me.

Lol That Odhiambo maasai is winding you like a clock and you are here singing like a canary before him. He is laughing at you as you post.

OMANBALA1:
The kind of humiliation Nigeria has suffered on this thread is depressing. I swear, I have tried to defend Nigeria on multiple occasions but it very difficult when you have a dumb leader like Buhari. And yes, I am a confirmed Igbo man so you can call me Igbos yoot or whatever term you can coin to mock a peaceful agitation for secession of the Biafran people. But the fact remains that Nigeria is a failed country and foolliish is anybody that tries to defend that cesspit! In a country where Igbos were declared terrorists and the murderous and bloodletting fulani herdsmen were exonerated of any wrongdoing. God will punish Buhari till eternity!!

Nigeria has suffered no humiliation here,my brother. We know things are not well with Nigeria. No be today. But even in spite of all the shortcomings brought about by the political class in Nigeria, one way or another, the resilient spirit of Nigerians (the honest ones) continue to make a way for them home and abroad. The kind of opportunities you see here is hard to find in other African countries. But you need to open your eyes. I am currently involved in poultry stuffs and every morning I kick myself that I hadn't started earlier. People like Nowenuse and 68888419 have shown with the thread that cost of living in most African countries is higher than in Nigeria. Corruption is worse in Kenya, for example, than in Nigeria. You think police brutality is bad in Nigeria? Nigeria police is a learner beside their Kenyan counterparts.. Nairobi as we have shown, if you had paid attention, is more unequal than Lagos. 2.5million out of that city's 4million live in slums. Most of the Kenyans here cannot even live in the houses they are posting here. . The biggest businesses there are either started or owned by foreigners. That's why they are always so angry when we call them Little Indians One of them almost ran mad when his brother confirmed for him that a poorly run country like Nigeria leads them in cement consumption per capita.. It's understandable that as Nigerians, we should be angry at the level we find ourselves today. There was a time the rest of Africa used to look up to us but like Litmus said,we dropped our standard and because of the failure of the leaders,we started comparing ourselves to lesser African countries. Hence this back and forth with Little Indians and Ghanaians. Another problem is our bad apples, taking advantage of the laxity of security in those African countries, going over there to tarnish Nigeria's image. And again, the olodos who can not pass exams here nor afford Nigeria's private universities going to these African countries to study and even beat them in many cases. As per Buhari's case, I don't think there is any Nigerian alive who detest that no-gooder more than I do. A lot has to be done. And finally, the bolded shows where your anger is coming from. Don't worry, brother, you are not alone there.

Desperation

Nigeria is a basket case. We humiliated Nigeria here severally, its only that we are not in the habit of kicking an opponent when he's down. We are that good. Otherwise if we went full beast mode even you yourself you'd flee Nigeria to experience better life elsewhere. You'd stop keeping chicken with all the risk for Ebola and bird flu.

Nicely put bro!

People like OMAMBALA1 easily fall for the tricks of other Africans here to believe that life in other African countries is better in all aspects than Nigeria, which is completely false.

Other Africans e.g Kenyans are very good at hiding their own problems and painting a very good picture while we Nigerians always try to accentuate our problems.

I'm not against us accentuating our problems, in fact I support it to a great extent, just that it would be stupid for us to do that before those who hide their own problems.
It would be akin to an abused wife sharing her own problems of abuse to her fellow abused woman who doesn't share hers and paints her own husband in good light.

@OMAMBALA1. Tbh with you, when I joined this thread, I thought highly of Kenya and felt they were completely better than us in all ramifications. Not until I did some deeper research on my own. That was when I discovered that these people are not worth taking seriously. They have very very terrible problems as well. Problems that make me prefer my Nigerian citizenship and would never wish to trade it for theirs, not even if I was offered a good sum of money.

Igbos are involved in many social vices around the world not because our ideologies but because the Nigerian broken system. But NO Nigeria tribe or any African tribe can match the Igbos in wealth based on per capita. Igbos are still by far the richest African group, by a very wide margin and we are not talking about drug money here. Igbos even do trades in Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, India and many other ridiculous places no African can ever dream of migrating.

The resentment the average Nigerian have for the Igbo man is not because the Igbo are criminals but because of fear of complete economic domination. Sarduana of Sokoto had expressed this fear, the last Oba of Bini had expressed this fear, the Oba of Lagos had expressed this fear and many Nigerians live with this fear which show is offensive way. But they all love Igbo women, of course.

I get your point but we can't ignore the fact that we have been unfortunate with bad leaders. Nigeria has never had a decent leader. Kenyans have A LOT OF FOREIGNERS LIKE SOUTH AFRICA WHO HAS HELPED TO DEVELOP THEIR COUTRY. The inputs of these foreigners has helped to maintain the standard of projects and institutions.

Do you have any data to back this up? Dont let tribal emotions rule over your otherwise smart posts

TayserMahiri:

Yes, but only a small section of a capital city doesn't make a country. There are many more things to a country than that.

I know the mindset of the average Kenyan. I have met them here and interacted with them. They are quite calm and cool headed and I try not to engage in this ridiculous dick measuring.The pictures posted here by the Kenyans is what Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie called DANGERS OF A SINGLE STORY. These pictures are not true reflection of what is on the ground. But we cant ignore the fact that Kenya is a beautiful country, I mean, look at those pictures. They are breathtaking. The scenery ,the Arab , European and Indians played a major role in what Kenya has become today.

TayserMahiri:

I am not into tribal emotional sentiments. Everything must not be by collected data, common sense can work in many situations. Do you need data to tell you France produce better players than England? Do you need data to tell you Ethiopians and ,Eriterean and Somalian women are considered the most beautiful in Africa ? Igbos are by far the most enterprising African group and a visit to Igbo hinterland will fix your doubt.

The British didn't stay long enough after the amalgamation for the three major tribe in Nigeria to get acquainted. AND THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF OUR DOWNFALL.

Do I want Nigeria to breakup ?












































































HELL CAPITAL NO!

Dang! You hit the nail on the head.

Another factor that helps Kenya is the fact that it is a Tourism driven economy. This makes their government work so hard to meet up to world standards of doing things in order to impress foreign tourists.

However, I discovered that there has been a lot of downside to this ethic of theirs. It has brought about heavy uneven development around the country and many more problems which we have highlighted here times without number.

Nowenuse:

Unfortunately first impressions do matter. A Nigerian who landed in Nairobi airport the other day called your airport a bus station.

The thing about NEVER trading your nationality is what mostly people from back ward places of the world such as North Korea say while at home. The best measure is when they leave home and become open minded and realize how the outside world really has progressed. Thats the same way Nigerians bark about never switching nationality untill they land in places like Kenya that they realize blind patriotism is nonsense. They become more of world citizens as opposed to villagers.

What would impress me in Igbo hinterland if I went there? Any pictures? What's that massive that we never hear about outside here. I can guarantee you that Igbo dominance is nothing special. Take the Kikuyu of Kenya, multiply their number by five or six so that they equal Igbo population and they would easily stump anything Igbos have done. Nothing special.

Bro, you are more intelligent than this. It seems like you are bragging.
I am not denying the fact that Igbos have a good record in terms of wealth creation, entrepreneurship etc.

In fact, you are very correct that Igbos have the largest wealth of any African group. Well, that's partly because there are only 3 or perhaps 4 other African ethnic groups as large as the Igbos (Oromos, Hausas & Yorubas, perhaps we include Amharas & Fulas).

Of all these ethnic groups, only the Igbos have an overwhelming christian and heavily westernized population. The rest have a very strong Islamic culture/background. They are either overwhelmingly Islamic or at least 35-50% of their population are muslims.

Westernization helps with wealth creation and equality in a society (or should I be more specific, in a subsaharan African context).

Have you heard of Kenya's Kikuyus? They are just like the Igbos in terms of the culture of wealth creation. Just that they are smaller in population.

The Igbos have a culture that encourages wealth creation which is cool. However this culture has bred a very destructive mentality of making wealth through any means necessary. This is one mentality other Nigerians fear and not necessarily the fear of domination.
Igbos also have a very bold and outspoken nature. This turns off other people as cocky and proud.

A large chunk of the wealth of Igbos is also made through criminality, fraud, fetishism etc. This also scares other people..

Kudos to hardworking and honest igbos who make genuine wealth. They are all over the place too.

First impressions do matter to gullible people. People who easily judge a book by it's cover.
Sadly, there are more gullible people in the world. So, yes I agree, Kenya's ethic of first impression definitely pays off in many ways.

How embarrassing it is for people to later discover how boring a book is in spite of it's fascinating and captivating cover page! That's Kenya.

I might have not been to Kenya, but the researches and discoveries I've made about Kenya in contrast to the way Kenyans here brag about Kenya has given me a perfect clue to the picture of the country. Sorry, no! But I'll pass.

Using North Korea in analogy to Nigeria speaks of the depth of your ignorance.
North Koreans live in the world's largest prison and have no access to the outer world unless what they are being fed with. Is that the same situation with Nigerians who have the largest access to the internet and satellite television in Africa? Nigerians who are also the most widely travelled Africans? Hell No!

Learn to use your analogies well or go back to your alma mater and ask for a refund of your tuition as I always tell you guys..
