ceo4eva: I now strongly believe that this Jonathan's Administration Cultivates, Breeds, Nurtures, Fertilizes, Harvests, Packages, and Distributes CORRUPTION.

solomon111: Your inflation is lower because of your minute population.
It dosen't mean anything.
Your inflation is also lower than SA,india,japan and other major economies.
2)Our debt profile is less than $10billion.
Very low for a population of 170million.
I'm sure if you compare the population/debt ratio of both countries,Nigeria is better off.
Btw,Nigeria has the much bigger foreign reserve.
3)credit ratings don't tell the whole story as they're usually based on many factors like security and stability,which is still pretty fragile in Nigeria.
Credit ratings are meant to act as guide for investors.
Anyway,Nigeria attracts the highest foreign investments in africa.
So your A+ is only on paper.

mafolayomi: Hehehe, Nigerians wont learn, if this is true, then it is obvious that other countries of d world dont have regards whatsoever for this country. And here we are mourning Mandela even more than d south africans and his family. Same thing happened when Obama won d first time, we celebrated more than any other country of the world, but the same Obama came to africa and never cared to give us common phone call not to talk of visiting us. Thank God i dont usually give a Bleep about all this stuff

ocelot2006:

GEJ was introduced and everyone cheered loudly. What more do you want?

geeez: Sometimes, beyond the office, the personality determines the extent of your influence

If BRF was president, I'm not sure any serious nation would snub him like this

He's ruthlessly intelligent and aptly presidential

omar22: Look what looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck is probably a duck.

Let's call a spade a spade, this is what we get when we have fools as leaders. What did the international community say to GEJ when he gave the crook who sneaked out of the UK wearing a burka a national pardon! They said they were very disappointed in our government and leader, but the looney president acted as if they were blowing hot air.

A first lady closing the road because she has a hairdressers appointment, the bulletproof cars, mismanagement of funds at an alarming rate, James Ibori's birthday while in prison, all this is shown on CNN. Many more incident that our leaders acting as if they have no one to answer to. But hey the international community have spoken and its loud enough for those who have ears to listen

solomon111: Shut up with all these gratitude nonsense and stop disgracing us on cyberspace.
Southafricans don't owe you anything.
If you don't like it,ask the Nigerian govt to change their foreign policy and stop interfering in the issues of any african country.
Let them solve their problems by themselves,just as we're doing.

Ttalk: When Jonathan knew he was not going to speak at funeral ceremony, why the haste in rushing to South Africa, i think it would have been expedient for him to have sent a representative that would represent the country. Nigeria should not be taken for granted by any country in the world regardless of our shortcomings. Enough is enough

Biggyd2:

I wonder what what I was/am wondering has to do with your post. No vex o, park well.

ceo4eva:
However, Lagos-based lawyer, Jiti Ogunye, says Nigerian politicians are to be blame for the pedestrian level the country presently occupies in the international community. He says the complete atrophy of the respect the country was accorded in global affairs was as a result of years of misrule and corruption by the country’s politicians.

“Nigeria has lost its social, political and economic glory domestically and that glory that is lost cannot be recovered at Mandela’s funeral,” he said.

“While Nigeria officialdom maybe in a state of discomfiture by the non-recognition of Nigeria in the protocol of the funeral, the point is that it is not what Nigeria did for South Africa or for Angola or for any of the frontline states like Namibia that Nigeria will be remembered. It not the support Nigeria gave to the ANC… that Nigeria will be recognised by, it is what Nigeria has done for itself and what Nigeria has not done for itself. And we’ve done a lot against ourselves. Look at our country; our country is broken in many respects and no you’re talking about xenophobia, what led to it? Nigerian young people go overseas and become criminals the way we are criminals in our own country.

People leave the shore of Nigeria to be criminals outside our shores. Right from the time they leave Nigeria they’re going overseas to be criminals. We are exporting blue-collar crimes and Yahoo Yahoo to all sorts of countries, to Malaysia and are we blaming those countries for our own woes?
“How you will be regarded abroad is determined by how you’re regarded at home. Now how is the Nigeria state regarded by Nigerians? The Nigerian state is regarded by Nigerian as an uncaring state, as a heartless state, as a state that has no love for its people, as a state that has abandoned its people. So how has the Nigerian state treated its own people before we start taking offence at how the Nigerian state is treated by another country?

Sagamite: Who would give a person like Jonathan a stage to talk at an international event full of the mighty?

Who wants to listen to that person?

You must be having a laugh!

Zuma is a cretin but not that much of a cretin to let our cretin speak when there are many other significant people they need to accommodate.

Even here in the UK, the UK media have completely shunned the person. You will not even know he attended the event except you read Naija news.

An insignificant foooool!

Nigeria did shyt loads of South Africa during apartheid but it will be a shame to give platforms to lunatics and thieves in power because of that.

When we vote for a leader with reputation like Fashola, Okonjo-Iweala, Utomi, Duke, Sanusi, Ezekwesili, Ribadu etc, then we can go around the world with some reputation to boast about.

As long as we have this person and his likes, we need to shut the fck up!

thegoodjoehunt:
You have a problem with Jonathan but you have no problem with Okonjo Iweala. She championed the subsidy removal under OBJ and Good luck. It is under her nose that 5 billion dollars left the ECA and she said it was used for SURE P which the subsidy was for.

Well this isn't a mud slinging topic but if a thief saves a Pastor's life. It won't be wrong for the Pastor to say thank you in front of his fellow Pastors.

Sagamite:

What has policy got to do with corruption?

Only a person pastor will publicly say thank you if the thank you will apportion some respect on the thief!

Secondly, did someone tell you SA was a theocratic state?
