I've read a number of posts here and i agree that we should be proferring solutions to the problems rather than using the identified problems to run the country down with our mouths and posts.

Why should we criticize the country if we have NOTHING to offer it except to make things worse by verbally running it down? Nigeria has massive problems BUT we should identify the problems and SINCERELY work towards solutions.

I dont agree with those who said developed Nations have also gone through this phase. We have been in this phase for too long considering all the potentials. We are not passing through this phase; we seem to be stuck in this bad phase. Time to find a way of passing through it.

@ Blatant
You are so right, I say they should shout up and put up with it since nobody is ever willing to do anything to improve the state Nigeria's in.

That’s the problem here. Why do we remain in this stage, because people like Toyin and her gang travel overseas and contribute nothing towards the growth of the Country. Instead they try to run it down. I can give you case studies of similar problems in developed countries and you’ll see how they overcome them. First you have to be willing to TRY, I can never be comfortable in a country where I know I can not run for any political office, if I want to, because I’m a foreigner, when I know the sky is my limit back home.

I agree with you its time we find a way, but how do you want to achieve that when people cannot even summon up an atom of respect for the country?

@ RichyBlacK you are pathethic. And to assume or assert, that the only way people make a living in Nigeria is through corruption or illegal ways is just BOGUS, Abeg jare, the likes of you have never been to Niger, Pls, Pls, Pls go and DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!

Your assumptions are quite BOGUS and one of the stupid statements of this threads.

For your info, there are hardworking people in Nigeria. Like it or not, not everyone makes money the ILLEGAL or CORRUPT way.

and yes, Rich Nigerians (I KNOW) only come abroad for vacation or School.

I understand your point. However, do you really think those who sincerely want to help move Nigeria forward will ever be allowed to do so?
Before I got annoyed and decided to move back here, I tried to help in my own little way to change the mindset of those around me and in my own local government because I knew that I commanded some respect there. We had an association and had lots of youngsters in support. I was not willing to join any political party and many people were unhappy because I was not throwing money around for these people. I had a few friends with me trying to just let the people see reasons why they should not support anyone who has a history of bad politics or maladministration.

Many people said it to my face that they'd rather support people who are spending money for them because thay was a sign that these people will spend more when they get into government. One known looter actually became the Local Govt Chairman for Ebute Metta in 1999. I made many friends who told me about the mentality of the average Nigerian having experienced similar things as I experienced. I dont see how anything can change until Nigerians themselves, in large masses, decide to change things.

I am not a foreigner here in the legal sense of it but I still sometimes feel that I'll be better back in Nigeria: just not wanting to go back and feel frustrated at seeing people suffering in the midst of so much.

i am very certain that the same people who run Nigeria down here have contributed to the present state of Nigeria.

thank you for sticking up for our country, you even have time to list things, its wasted unfortuntately . Anyway those saying there is absolutely nothing good about Nigeria and absolutely no reason to be patriotic are the first in England and the US etc to trek to their neighbourhood stadiums etc to watch their so called jaga jaga country play football and scream the loudest flying their green white green like they actually live in Nigeria. Its just a small example but lets not be hypocrites here. i am sure if a non African man or woman calls one of them here jungle rat or say ''go back to Africa'' they will be the first to beat their chest like wild gorillas shouting how proud they are to be Nigerian. in the words of Catherine Tate 'what a load o shit''

See ya. I haven't rely looked at the points just saw a reference to Catherine Tate and thought it was funny.

Nawa ooooh!!! wonders shall never end. Simple questions turns into personal attacks.

You are acting as if Nigerians in nigeria don't complain.

And comparing nigeria to other countries is not exactly a bad thing, that's how people and things develop
Most countries do it even the developed ones to improve certain aspect of their infrastructure/society

Sometimes I wonder, if a top Nigerian official came to you and gave you a contract to make you financially set, I bet many won't be complaining and wont really care about the poor or poverty in Nigera, so may be we should look at things differently, what do yáll think.

Contract is not a bad thing though, its normal business around the world isn't it?

ooooooooooh God, nah Xiomarra now? y u dey confuse ur identity now, abi na u be d osama bin ladin wey dem dey look for

nigerian in nigerian really dey complain well well madamkoko,except de ones where dey previledge positions as you say.also i noticed some of our brodas and sistas abroad who have alot of great ideas when given de oppotunity to come home to serve and save the motherland, have not lived up to the task.this are the people madamkoko said much earlier that had education abroad and come home to nigeria and tell you all is well becos they are recieving fat pay check and afford the expensive life cost in naija(e.g you pay 4 nepa and still buy 200 lts of diesel at 135 naira because de light is hardly there,u pump ur own water etc).this people most of them time come back with high hope and lose their faith to turn things around when faced with the y challenges that everyday people are faced with and then start looking out for themselves alone.

I just get sick of retarded Nairaland members with shit brains. . . bastardizing my screen name like their mothers' wrinkled arses so I would like to see how many they can insult now.

Just a change in MO! When you are dealing with retarded Nigerians, you become a great psychologist!

Bring it on I say. . .your ugly monkey arses!

Where did this dog come from?

I have just looked through to see that you're just a nuisance on the forum. Go and find other dogs like yourself. And while you're at it, you may wish to see a clinical psychologist to examine your mental state.

It wont be long till you get sectioned.

You should be in Aro

@ Superboi, you make very good points. Many Nigerians abroad when opportuned to go back home to create change, most of the time, end up being part of the problem, They sometimes join those who are just as corrupt, its like every moral part of thier being jumpedc out the window. If the oppoortunity dey there, dem go chop am, No lele. They will turn blind and deaf to the ideals they once had.
