HappyJoe: Nigeria's entire GDP wasn't up to N150 billion in 1973 and the Nigerian Airways didn't employ 10,000 (the entire Federal Civil Service barely employed 10,000 people then).

Anyone who believes this crap must have his/her head examined - anyway that is the problem with our educational system.

Evergreen123:

the incumbent leader is trying to revive it

collynzo2:
I am appaled at the hypocrisy of those who destroyed the Nigerian state, Mr Ilmuguboy.
Allow the man who is trying to repair the damages your fathers made to do so in peace!
That is all.

Goandie:



naija den can neva, ever and forever be compared to naija now, den corruption dos not exist or was very minimal becuz d standard of living then was wonderful but now, naija is n hell nd no cure or way out of it

MzJackBaueress: They look like students in a boarding school wearing school uniforms. Nothing attractive about it.

ISpiksDaTroof:

Theres actually a way around it. You still have men like Buhari and Ribadu that abhor corruption, utilize them at the highest helm and watch your fortunes turn around.

iwonbaoko: 1 naira in 1973 was MORE than one dollar so they are saying the airline was making a profit of about $200 billion in 1973

In thoses days a flight from Lagos to PH was 28 Naira so they would need to carry 5 billion passengers annually to make that amount as TURNOVER never mind as profit. We are talkin at a time when PH airport was that strip next to Bori camp NOT Omagwa

McWhillion:
Who is this?

collynzo2: The look like Mgbekes.
Nothing classy about that, even for a 1973 picture.

Koats14: Bitter biafran wannabes go and ask benjamin adekunle,yakubu gowon,obasanjo et al.....if ojukwu had succeeded there won't be any diff btw biafra & current day LIBYA,cos there will be more corruption and looting(crude oil) & the dude and his generation go turn the post(king/president) to their birth right..don't hate,not everyone is proud of what happened then! #ProudYoruba #ProudNigerian #ProudAfrican

arewafederation:

All those you mentioned are only after their own interests and have nothing to offer. They are all politicians without principle. The common man who allows these rich policians to toss him around is the major problem. I can only be optimistic when the citizens begin to know and understand their rights, realise the these bloody politicians are but slaves to the citizens.

But we are far from realising that.

Ovamboland:

Thank you very much, it is obvious the quality of education we had in the 50's and 60's is far superior to the rubbish we have today. Common Arithmetic they cannot comprehend, ask them to analyse figures you have finished them and they are busy posting hausa did this Yoruba did that but their kinsmen are angels.

The speed with which they detoured to ethnic bashing from the OP speaks a lot about their level of IQ. And you still think Nigeria is not doomed?

collynzo2:
Can you address the issue?
Who destroyed the Nigeria airways and Nitel?

0rlando0woh:
Libya is doing better than Nigeria.
The average Libyan is living a more comfortable life than the average Nigerian

revolt: but it's a known fact that after the civil war Yoruba took over all technocrat positions in the civil service. THE LOOTING AND WRECKING HAS KNOWN NO BOUNDS since. Obj brought in south-easterners and Nigeria started moving forward again.yaradua brought back the ones with the "sadim " touch and we retrogressed. Now GEJ to the rescue.

Nnewi1stSon: Libya has a population of 6 million and a landmass more than Nigeria's, more oceanline and proximity to europe! If they arent better off then they must all be foools in that enclave! Compare Nigeria to Bangladesh to begin with, cos we seem to have more simialrities with them!
