baqina: It depends on how you look at it.

In terms of corruption,Nigeria can not be compared to the likes of India, Thailand etc

Armed robbery and insecurity, we have countries like South Africa topping the charts. So many nigerians have been killed in the US and UK by robbers and teenage rascals.

Education, we might not have d best education systems but the products of our institutions are among the best in the world with Nigerians being d most educated group in UK and USA. The highest I paid as undergraduate was #15,000 as school fees and with that I just used it to gain admission to 2 universities in the Uk, I was even thinking they would ask mi to start from Pre masters level.

Health, some people think our hospital is a shame but the president of Ghana died after being discharged from American hospital, Stella Obasanjo died in Spanish hospital,A crown prince of Saudi Arabia recently died in German hospital, Michael Jackson died of overdose prescribed by an American doctor etc.

In America and Uk, we have citizens of this countries feeding from the trash cans and some homeless and jobless.I have never seen or heard of anybody combining 2 or 3 jobs to survive in Nigeria.

For those crying foul, Nigeria owe us nothing, it is we Nigerians dt owe her something and gratitude to God for making us Nigerians. For those that care to know, a lot of foreigners are turning Nigerians daily.

I love my country and am proud to be a Nigerian.

AjanleKoko:

Nope. Those who ridicule the country are in the majority. Both government officials and common citizens. Most ridicule the country by their actions, and/or inaction. It's undeniable.

Dollarman101:
Shut up! Nigeria has not done anything for you but I'm sure you were born in our general hospitals, where almost everything is subsidised including ante natal. Inspite of all the criticism, teaching hospitals and federal medical centres remain the number one destination for health care delivery for a vast majority of Nigerians.
You must also have passed through our unity schools or graduated from any of our federal or state universities which is the most subsidized in the world. Make you take time to ask your friends schooling abroad, how much they pay as school fees. You use our airports including MMAI which is ranked top 10. You ply some good roads in Nigeria without paying taxes or tolls.

Govt subsidizes your electricity bills so that you can pay as low as N7.00 per Kwh. Google electricity tariffs in Uk or other advanced countries and see what Nigerian govts subsidies for you.
If you re from Niger Delta, you collect bursary from your state govts. While you grew up, your only window to knowledge and the world may have been NTA. Recall the educative programmes like sesame street, kiddies vision 101, tales by the moonlight. Is NTA a private Ghanian company?
Make una dey think before talking. We know say things never better but that one no suppose make us dey misyarn.

Bukkyade:
Seconded.

You are living in cloud cuckoo land. wake up man we're talking of Nigeria here. Remember the GIANT of Africa.

Take a straw poll amongst kids in your neighborhood and find out how many of them are grateful to God that they are born in Naija

How do you mean it? You wanna say those two countries are more corrupt than Nigeria? Ever since Transparency International has been listing countries in corruptions rankings, Nigeria has never beat these 2 countries. Beside, there seems to be development in these two countries. Their infrastructural and industrial development outpaces that of Nigeria many fold. Their human development index is also far better than that of Nigeria.

Armed robbery and insecurity, we have countries like South Africa topping the charts. So many nigerians have been killed in the US and UK by robbers and teenage rascals.

Typical Nigerian, unfounded statistics. In Nigeria, there are a lot of no go areas you asked to avoid when it is dark. Let us asume you are right, in most cases of the juvenile criminalities, the culprits are always apprehended. In Nigeria, it is hardly so. Even if the police apprehend anyone, the possibility that they would let the offender go after the exchange of Naira is very high. And dont let us go into deliberate wrong accusatiions. A lot of people are maimed and killed in Nigeria and no government take statistics of it. Life is just worthless in Nigeria.

Education, we might not have d best education systems but the products of our institutions are among the best in the world with Nigerians being d most educated group in UK and USA.

The best in the world you say? On paper or practically? But I am not seeing the result of the cleverness of these Nigerians. Maybe, their smartness is just to wrongfully amass wealth. Who knows?

Health, some people think our hospital is a shame but the president of Ghana died after being discharged from American hospital, Stella Obasanjo died in Spanish hospital,A crown prince of Saudi Arabia recently died in German hospital, Michael Jackson died of overdose prescribed by an American doctor etc.

Forget that Michael Jackson case, it is not the failure of the system but that of an individual. Doctors are not magicians you know, there a limit to their knowledge too. However, if you have an emergency and a clinic, hospital rejects you on the ground of not having money, I can assure you that they will dearly pay for it in many of the countries you have listed.

In America and Uk, we have citizens of this countries feeding from the trash cans and some homeless and jobless.I have never seen or heard of anybody combining 2 or 3 jobs to survive in Nigeria.

Hear yourself! Because you have not heard mean it does not exist abi? I have lived at a time when Nigeria was still a little sane and I have experienced the crazy years too. I can not believe you have not heard of school teachers for instance taking selling provisions to make ends meet. Many people indeed have many jobs in Nigeria. Yoruba people have a saying that: Ona kan ko wo 'ja, lo d'ifa fun Taylor to nta eko. It is not limited to a Tailor, but a great majority of Nigerians have to do several jobs to survive. You should really stop playing the stale card of I dont see, I dont hear and I dont say.

For those crying foul, Nigeria owe us nothing, it is we Nigerians dt owe her something and gratitude to God for making us Nigerians. For those that care to know, a lot of foreigners are turning Nigerians daily.

I am in no way grateful to be a Nigerian, because I have done to Nigeria more than Nigeria has given me. It saddens me a lot when I think about the wasted potentials of that country.

I love my country and am proud to be a Nigerian.

samfibby: If the generation b4 us neva had the same notion a lot of posters have regards this issue, nigeria would be better 4 us. All we can do is fight 4 a better nigeria 4 the next generation. This attitude of criticizing nigeria at any slightest provacation is not doing nigeria or nigerians any good

jerseyboy: Nigeria is The Fig Tree. Cursed


Mark 11:12-14


Jesus Curses a Fig Tree

12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.”

you seem like an person that just relish being a contrarian. We all know what Nigeria is: it's everyman for himself

And BTW the Nigerian flag is mainly displayed in govt offices; never seen it in people's homes

A-ZeD:

Dude you have comprehension problems.

ekt_bear:
Rereading it again for the first time in many years, this parable makes absolutely no sense to me.

baqina:

No country in d world is a paradise, just like you have kids in your neighborhood regretting they were born in Nigeria, we also have kids of other nationals regretting where God created them, this is pure case of self esteem not of origin. We have Nigerians that are today the best in there chosen careers.

Gone are d days when passport was d most lucrative department at Nigeria Immigration Service but now it is d CERPAC, you will be shocked when you see the amount of other nationals turning Nigerians especially the Americans and the British.
