lol I don't hate Nigerians and I never did. In fact surprisingly when people say shirt about Nigerians am one of the first people to defend you peeps cos I also take offence to it (silly me ryt). Most times when you ppl say shit I don't say anything bit sometimes like today I will. What started as a question all the foreigners like to know ended up as a bashing session. Am only giving out what I receive

Why do you hate Satan... Because you have been made to hate him
Why do you love Jesus... Because you have been made to look e him
Why do Islamic extremist commits cider at will. Because they have been made to believe that's the right thing to do. When you are in a min guided system. You can't tell right from wrong. We're you ever given a nickname back in school. Cos of an irregularity on your body? If you were to meet some of your old mates and they call you by that nick name. Would you take it that. That's what they called you back then so it's cool?

My original surname is "Oleh" but in yoruba it means thief.. what do you suggest, I tell entire yoruba race to stop using that word right?
When I hear them call "Oleh" since it means a different thing to them, I simply ignore, the phrase means a different thing here, Brother learn to ignore

You r really getting me wrong, I'm not saying it is right, M saying when you hear such words it's not always a nasty remark, so don't always get offended, that's my point, some people make this comment with all "innocence".

Let's say you were telling your kid about Nigeria and she ask you "is it that country, that is known for fraud" I would actually be stupid to get angry, that's an innocent statement, unless when the person is been sarcastic, so that my point, try to discern when the writer/speaker is been sarcastic to when he or she is just trying to clarify a kind of bag.

There is a negative connotation behind that word. What about the family of the many Ghanaians that died during that event. Don't you think is insensitive for you guys to call it Ghana must go.

The bag preceded the event, so you mean to tell me the bag had no name before the event.

Good, then why not insult the individuals and not the entire root..
Now I happen to fall under that tribe, my family included and then what "you have called us silly people"..
Let's say you are the first of your kind I have met, what do you think will be my conclusion now? I would say sha maybe that how "they behave at her place"
And then when someone from your place here me say such, he attacks and gradually the war spins off, affecting generations with no knowledge of what actually transpired!

That has always been the entire human race wahala, we too quick to stereotype.
My apologises. I should not have generalised a whole tribe even though I know personally you have been amongst those that cause trouble but I know that it was very wrong of me to generalise cos I actually do know some wonderful igbo people. Even if all I met was bad I have not met the whole population so really from the bottom of my heart I sincerely apologise. Peace

Loool.

Brev, it's good to be proud and patriotic but stop flattering yourself - Nigeria isn't an intellectual property and there's absolutely no impeccable record for anyone to envy, apart from a few high flying individuals. Maybe, impeccable record in scams/fraud and naija Churches scattered all over the planet - who knows? grin

The earlier Nigerians start telling themselves the truth, the better for us all. The only reason why folks notice Nigerians everywhere is because of the huge population explosion. Outside that, there's nothing to be proud of. Even the ol'good Super Eagles have now gone bust! grin

Big ups to naij - but someone has to say the truth, no matter how bitter it's.
I appreciate your effort in always saying the ugly ,bitter and undiluted truth but sometimes the truth from folks like you is akin to that of the conqueror writing about the battle between them and their enemies ,such truth is always tainted with lies ,bitterness ,wrong perception and of course a cosmetic approach to suit the victorious side.
I have stayed here most of my life and I have seen it all and when I said that Nigeria is moving forward folks like you should either find out the truth for themselves and not sitting on a mountain top and determine the length of a man's hand.

I never said that Nigeria is being envied by anyone, I was merely referring to the giant strides made by Nigerians in all works of life which has made the civilized nations/people to look in awe and admire our resilience as a people even with all our individual battered hopes and lost dreams.

The scam/fraud You keep hammering on is being perpetrated by a small percentage of the people that makes up this great nation and this country can't and shouldn't be classified as such under any circumstances unless by those that are bent on always relegating us to the gutters.
The Nigeria of the 90s is not the same Nigeria we have right now though I totally agree that we have a lot of work to do.
Finally, the burden of building a nation starts from/with a particular generation ,we are passing through a phase just like every other great nation and with one master stroke we would be there it is just a matter of time and that time is already here .
I'm blindly patriotic to Nigeria and that you can't take away from me and this is my greatest asset as a Nigerian .
You'll always see the negative things about Nigeria ,I'll always choose the positives, and work towards the total actualization of it.
So help me God.

why do Ghanaians hate their skin so much?
why do Ghanaians loves to lick the Whitman's butt?
why do Hollywood use mixed race actors/actresses, even when 99.8% of Ghanaians are like burnt offering?

why are most ghanians women short with an horse a.as?

Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa by the virtue of its population and not coz Nigerians are the smartest.If we judge things per capita,I am pretty sure Nigeria wont be among the top 20 economies in Africa.Can you tell me why is Nigeria economy in troubles right now,whereas countries like Kenya,ethiopia .....etc are growing?You don't seem to be able to make a distinction between talent and success:Nigerian artists are successful but they aren't talented!Idem for the nollywood personel!Who told you that Nigeria has the highest concentration of billionaires and millionnaires?
if Nigeria's economic status is by population alone, then Ethiopia will be right behind us with 80 million people.

You say Nigeria is in economic crisis? Darn!!! Take my advice, give yourself a nairaland-leave and go see what's happening around the world.

As I type this, Nigeria is the 6th fastest growing economy in the world!!!! Fact.
That's why I say don't type with emotions. Nigeria's economy grows presently by %4.9 down from %6 due to international oil price slump.

As for the billionaire and millionaire stuffs. We aren't just the largest on mother continent, Nigeria, turkey and Indonesia are producing millionaires faster than any other country in the world right now. Nigeria is just behind indonesia.

You mention the per capital stuff. Believe me that's what little countries use to measure up with big countries. Let me give you a run down of the biggest economies in the world and check their per capital GDP. THEY ALWAYS DON'T TALLY. Here we go :

1: The United States has the biggest economy but not the highest PER CAPITAL followed closely by

2: China her PER CAPITAL is still a long way down.

3: Japan is next still with a trialling PER CAPITAL.

GERMANY

FRANCE

BRITAIN and
ITALY follows.

The countries with the highest per capital happens to be tiny European countries especially from the Scandinavia region of Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland.

Now, quote me with a sober THANKS.
