Gbawe:

You don't get it. They can talk because of the abysmal failures of Nigerian leaders. Show me a Police college in the UK, US, France or even South Africa that looks as bad as the pictures that emerged recently in Nigeria. Will those pictures not prompt even the most liberal non-Nigerian to lash out at the corruption and profligacy that leaves such a pivotally important national security agency (the NPF) so starved of funds?

We should start learning to get real in Nigeria to understand charity begins at home. If someone tells you that you smell, why should you be angry with him for having a functional nose? Why not go and take a bath? Will that not shut him up faster than crafting all manners of inane arguments over how he should have ignored your stench?

Our Yansh:

Jealousy!!!

Kill yourself if you like Mr. Gbawe is one of the most cerebral posters in the Politics Section..

... ‎​Άnd you my friend are a NONENTITY!!

Ryabcool: Will all of you shut the hell up?! Can any of you dumbheads falsify their claims? What David Cameron said about squandering, is he WRONG? Yes or No! All of you are stuuuupid stuuupid people who evidently do not want betterment of yourselves and your environment. All you feed on is sentiments and utter display of stupidity. Ask yourselves; if Nigeria was on the right path, would these foreigners be saying these things? Good God these stuuuuupid nairaland people have pissed me off this morning.

Symphony007: who ever said we did'nt have problems? We have monumental problems that need an all hands on deck approach by all nigerians to solve...every country has problems, south africa that you spoke of with all his wealth has the highest hiv rate worldwide, checkout the raw poverty that sits in "soweto", russia a member of that G8 is extremely corupt and has more oil than nigeria why are'nt they being asked how their money is spent? Some weeks ago the bbc carried out an experimen on the most traffic congested cities in the world, lagos toped moscow!!..yes, we have problems but we as a people, a nation has to solve them just like china did and today it is sending shock waves around the world, because once again this western nations don't have friends but interest, THEY CAN'T HELP US, WE MUST HELP OURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!

Ijogz K: Is it their Money or Oil? Abeg free us jor,

Are we complaining?

Goddex: This racist Cameron guy is up to something - perhaps to cut aid to Africa.

olas2u:

Nigeria is an independent state and nobody needs to ask any questions expect Nigerians themselves.its interference.

mascot87: Thank God we still have responsible thinker in nairaland like Ryabcool,omo_tier 1, Gbawe, our yansh , Dhebuck, mdbabah, onyenna, naptu2 and d likes of other reasonable thinkers in nairaland. With people like you and me,Nigeria has hope for a better future

skyfall:

Do you know the no of Nigerian economic refugees who run to these countries annually? Still think Nigeria is an independent state?

micath09: It is no doubt that the quality of a nation, is dependent on the quality of its people. Most Nigerians are morally obtuse in their reasoning. And until this is changed, I doubt there can be a meaningful change. Can't we reason for goodness sake? With some of the immature comments on this thread, I doubt if the future would be anything better for Nigeria. I suggest the moderator should be sifting through some daft and illogical comments for deletion. How insane should a sane person drum and dances to the oblique evil state of our nation. Just four years today, I left Nigeria with $85 to U.S in a nation I had nobody; not even a friend. But today, I had cause to thank God. The same nations some retards out here condemn, gave me an opportunity to serve in their Armed forces without nobody's connection, but solely on merit. Now working at the State department and preparing for my LSAT when I can barely survived back then. My fear is that Nigeria will remain this way, unless there's a shift from mental foolishness.

Gbawe:

Keep seeing 'Agenda' and keep portraying yourself and your nation as victims. That will surely prevent you from ever acquiring the confidence, vision and self-assuredness to understand that you can buck the trend and hold your own against others or even control their will. Some of us achieve it in the diaspora that is meant to be a place we should fail in given how people like you talk. What is then the excuse of Nigeria controlled by Nigerians?

Look, the notion others "mean us harm" is so yesterday. Today's world is about brave self-determination and the usage of the concept that every Nation must position itself well to win rather than be the lackey of others. No free lunch anywhere geezer. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and square up to those you claim work against your progress. They don't have two heads or two brains and they don't do anything to you that you do not allow. It is sad we Africans still have the mentality to always portray ourselves as victims every time and in relation to every issue. Charity begins at home.

Lilnikee: Does it concine them how we manage/spend our oil Money.

EagleNest: Because we can't think some people are thinking for us.Yet some people have the
Because our voices are inconsequential to the King in Aso Rock but people like Bill Gate, Obama, Cameron etc voices cannot be trashed
Because we have sort of resigned to our fate, nevertheless there are people that believes that there is HOPE.
For me, anything good whether internal or external is welcomed as far as it is geared towards turning Nigeria around for GOOD.
Shall we continue in this sin of impunity and recklessness because we have such massive grace of patience, resilient & hope by the peoples?

ocelot2006:


Yeah, because the looting began with GEJ's administration. Forget about past military regimes and last 2 democratic administrations were governors, including your beloved Tinubu, looted this country's coffers dry. [b]Heap it all on an administration that's trying to cut down on spending [/b]and instill a culture of saving, one that even BRF kicked against.

queensmith: the worse they can do is cut off aid, which they should do. But it won't make a major difference, theres still plenty of oil money to steal


Are western governments getting jealous of Nigerias new rich? What exactly is Obamas problem with millionaires nowadays? Is it because non americans are taking over. . . . . jus wonderin

Toto Licker:
All those people above who you so eloquently praised would sing a different tune when the next president emerge from their region. Some of those people would die to see Tinubu as president not withstanding the fact he holds the record for looting as a governor. Tribalism is our biggest headache.
