It is the British with their western predatory culture that have corrupted us. The only hope for this country is Sharia law being implemented by God-fearing Muslims across the nation, from the Niger Delta to the shores of Lake Chad to the islands of the Lagos Lagoon.

Yea ! Nigeria is "Hell on Earth'where this British dude spent 3 years. He still wants to come back to spend another 3 years !!. Could it be all the fine, easy, Naija babes he picked up at the Lagos clubs he went to? Spending our oil money.

His Blog is a joke. As usual, the Diaspora Naija haters are quick to jump on his trail. He DID NOT say anything new.

Sentiments and opinions aside, this is the pure truth about the landmass called Nigeria. Just a boiling pot of stupidity.
I knew I had seen that name before! Tim.......yes he truly lived in Nigeria(Lagos, Eleme and Abuja) and worked with a few colleagues in the industry.

Upon all the man said, the thing that bothers you the most is the fact you "think" he wants to comeback to work in Nigeria?

Not only is your thinking that poor, you seem to also be poor in reading as what he said was that he hopes never to have to live permanently in Nigeria again.

It is not totally your fault, it is mainly the fault of the corruption the man is talking about that you lack thinking priorities and have comprehension challenges.

haha..lol!

booqee: another thing, if this dude say we're corrupt, no shit. He isn't lying about dat. But wat i don't seem to understand is why he still wants to come back. He has described nigeria with every negative words imaginable. Didn't he say the average corrupt nigerian has the mentality of "i want all dat is there and still want more". Now see where dis dude shot himself in d foot; its obvious he's working in d oil and gas sector and paid a very fat salary(who wouldn't know dat), but still he wants to come back to this 'cesspit' for another three years to amass more wealth. He has said he isn't really having fun here, so why come back?? Bloody hypocrite. Talk about a pot calling a kettle black.
atleast some one saw how one dimensional the brit was. although majority of wat he said were true, there was one particular sentence that he made which exposed how partial he was in his assesment... the point he made about nigeria being classless and that even if we are to change the 109 senators with a random 109 nigerians, that the result would still be the same..... and even if he repeat the process 100times, nothing will change. he now later turned round to say that he lads he worked with were one of the most honest,intelligent and upright people he has ever met.... so i ask, are the lads not also nigerians? he said tht though majority of nigerians were corrupt,there were still few who werent corrupt.. so according to him, the only people who werent corrupt must be the lads he worked with shey? if no body saw that statement of his as patronizing ,then alot of u guys here lack comprehension. .Now the issue of experimening with 109 random nigerian for a set of hundred times..... now lets do the maths 109 x 100 = 10,900. so he is saying that out of ten thousand nine hundred random nigerians, there can't be atlest one hundred nd nine honest and truthful nigerians? this articule is so true as well s false. i wont even go into the return to militry rule bullshit, cuz it will only expose how unprofessional his assesment was concerning the average nigerian. i urge you guys not to swallow this write up hook line and sinker. this articule to me is 80% accurate.

Another example that our education system has failed.

This cretin does not understand and cannot comprehend the concept of random selection and he is feeling like a superstar that he has found a contradiction in the guy's write up.

Cretin, when a random selection is made of 109 people out of 170, the possibility of sticking to the few quality people intelligent enough to be working in the premier industry (oil and gas) is low or virtually impossible. You have better odds of lightening striking you!

And your moronic maths would get you a fail as well. I am sure when you are doing that kind of probability statistics, you will be using something like permutation formula or combination formula to find the possible number of arrangements, not your okrika formula you called maths.

He never said there can't be at least 109 Nigerians found to run the country, he said if 109 random ones are picked it would be the same as the majority junk you have in the legislative upper chamber. Basically he is saying majority of you are mentally ill and morally bankrupt. And he is right!

You should appreciate his analysis and complaints because he is highlighting why someone like you that would probably claim to be a graduate can be so intellectually bankrupt. Your leaders are destroying your life with their looting! You education budget is being stolen. You have an Okrika education!

Yes, religion is used as a way to control and suppress, and yes, none of the Muslim nations are truly advanced. But that's because real authentic Islam is not implemented anywhere on a national level.

The first Islamic nation at the time of the prophet was the most just, safe, equitable, and flourishing political entities in the history of mankind. If we can only return to the rule of Islamic law, of devotion to our Creator and His Holy Quran, than there is no reason why we can't recreate such a political entity today.

Islamic nations across the world have been rife with corruption and outside meddling by the West. I have no doubt that if Nigeria is ruled by educated and God-fearing Muslims, well versed in the Quran, Hadith, Sharia, and Usul ul-Figh, Nigeria would become one of the greatest nations in the world. As a believing Muslim, I find it my duty to unite other God-fearing Muslims in this country and to enact real change in Nigeria. Sharia is the only way Nigeria can truly move to the light from the darkness that it now inhabits.

The changes enacted by the Prophet (May peace be upon him) in establishing the Islamic nation were humanitarian reforms never before seen in mankind (toleration of the conquered peoples, mandatory charity, promoting forgiveness among feuding families, care for orphans and widows and the poor).

Furthermore, the Islamic nation soon became the most scientifically advanced civilisation of its era. Many advanced concepts came from that era in the sciences, philosophy, and interestingly, finance.

before you start with your islmic propaganda, u might want to visit syria and egypt and see what religion (islam) has done to these two countries, after your tour, do not hesitate to look up on the this name ''boko haaram'' and see how the pursuit of islamic state has greatly improved the lives of people living in the north,prescisely the region where the afro mentioned name have been operating in.

What rubbish are you chatting?

Toleration of conquered people is some achievement?

And you mean toleration by insisting they pay higher tax (jizya) than muslims to avoid being slaughtered?

You still haven't explained to me how "The first Islamic nation at the time of the prophet was the most just, safe, equitable, and flourishing political entities in the history of mankind".

You will cancel your trip because of commentary on any anonymous forum?

Why do some folks in Naija like to deceive themselves? And be boastful while doing it?

Well said, everything he said is true. Naija is the only place a yoruba teacher can become a cimmissioner or general overseer within a year. Instead of us to rise up and take out our hopeless leaders in a revolution, My people will rather sit down in religious gatherings and donate money for private jets and rolls royces to their ebagenlists grin
