They ok.

Sagamite:

I know there was potential, afterall Nigeria is a country of perpetual potential , what I was actually referring to was the whole rubbish of Nigerian leaders being some of the best in the world, other African countries want to learn from us and we are the giant pride of black of people.

Such journalists need to be shot!

Apart from Awolowo (who also suffered from the tribal handicap), most Nigerian leaders have been incompetent chumps, crass bullies, and greedy hypocrites.
He was a solid technocrat.

If he had teamed up with Zik, the combination would have been the best for Naija. The benevolent visionary statesman as president, and the technocrat as the prime minister/executor. Now that would have been a tight combination. But it all went up in smoke, on the altar of religion and tribal sentiment. And then the a$$wipes took over and have never left.

Eyya! So fascinating....When naija was Nigeria.

Are you telling me that that combination would have been better than Goodluck Jonathan as President and Alao Akala as Prime Minister/Executor? *Straight Face*

Seriously?

Two supreme fucktards??

Negro Please. Today na Friday

Nigeria has since ceased to be giant of Africa. We have destroyed this nation we call ours. It is time for we children and youths to bring hope to this country once more. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

xtervaganza: so funny



Gives me so much joy seeing footage of your people dropping dead after weeks of hunger

& how has that changed the fact that your people keep selling their prized Lagos lands to my people just to have food to eat?

Those milking us dry in this country must be having a laugh now. They are looting us dry in unison, irrespective of their tribe or religion. Fools here be fighting over tribal issues. What a country. What a people.

Nnewi1stSon: True talk, buh we just have to be optimistic about the future, With Govs like Akpabio,Amaechi,Imoke in SS,Sullivan in The SE,Fashola in the SW, Lamido,Shema,Kwankwaso and likes in the north, the future can only get better, though corruption is still a cancer mitigating our development!

Plz don't ever put lamido, shetma, n kwankwaso in d same sentence wit fashola, sullivan n akpabio. How can u be governors(akpabio, fashola n sullivan) in d same sentence wit permanent second (lamido, shetema n knwakwaso)

[size=13pt]Nobody is disputing anybodys living conditions. The whole idea that igbo people succeed anywhere and everywhere is simply farce, its the same as assuming an average calabar girl is a s*e*x machine, don't let a farce decieve you we know the truth, Every man makes his own history not your tribe. Igbos should contest more to lead, i care less about a leaders tribe... Oil, we dont have oil in the west, we have never depended on oil, we depend on human resource and brain power, thats our source, so whats your point[/size]

WORD! Well said, bro. It baffles me each time a simple thread is hijacked by the ethnic jingoists and tribal warlords who try to cannonize their own tribes and demonize other ethnic groups. Why?

The same Nigeria Airways was regarded as a profitable entity from 1971 to 1983. At least, it is on record that they had over 30 functional aircraft that were flying to various international destinations, and yielding good profit for the Nigerian government. During its profitable years, the same airline was manned by various professionals from different ethnic groups and they all did a good job.

So what went wrong?

The rot started from the mid-80s until 2002 when Nigeria Airways was finally liquidated. Again, those folks who committed unsavoury acts that led to its demise, came from various ethnic groups.

Ethnicity is not, and has never been a factor of corruption. The good, the bad and the ugly come from every ethnic group or tribe. No tribe is holier than the other.

What people should do, is draw up a chart of lessons learnt from the final years of the airline and ensure that such history is NOT repeated, if there is a need to set up another national carrier in the nearest future. Chikena!

I never insulted you....I only demanded for answer to the question.. was that not a truthful question . Who destroyed our institutions? NEPA NITEL RAILWAYS ...I will ask u again?... If your reply comes as an insult then I know who are a goat?

Hello, talk is cheap.

Why don't you post the list of all the board of directors who ran each of these institutions from 1971 till date, to buttress whatever point you are trying to make? Please cite the sources too, as well as the url, so we can verify your information.

Compare the status of each institution and their assets as well as level of profitability over the years, and plot these figures and information into a chart, in order to assess the performance of each institution under their respective boards.

Once you have done that, we would then be able to assess objectively which group performed better than the other.

Until then, kindly put the rhetorics on hold. Talk is cheap, but facts are sacred.

1,500 destinations across the globe''? 1,500? With 26 aircraft? How? When? Are there even up to 1,500 air destinations on earth? British Airways today serves 170 destinations. But Nigeria Airways served 1,500 destinations in 1973??

Generating ''N150 billion per annum'' in 1973? 1973? Do you know Nigeria's entire annual GDP was less than N5 billion in 1973?

This stuff was clearly written by a semi-literate, ignorant buffoon, and clearly accepted without question by equally semi-literate, dumb and stupi.d Nairalanders, more concerned with purveying their ethnic hatred than using their brains. LOW IQ DUNCES - EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU.

not really sure why people swallow unconditionally every single thing they read on the internet.

some air hostesses in the early 70s for comparison.

so, nigeria decided to dress their own differently for some reason?

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

Nnewi1stSon: [b] Those Glory days... too bad i only learnt about them in school and never witnessed it. It behooves the present stock of leaders we have today to give we the young generation a taste of the goodlife they enjoyed back in their days. My dad use to tell me how back in the days University Students were fed by an FG welfare Scheme in most Universities in Nigeria... Today it's all tales...[b] Nigeria shall regain her lost glory again! [/[/b]b]
