Always feel proud of being a 9jerian anytime i hear this on ait. And to think this statement is coming from another african president is just so unbelieveable!

But come to think of it, are we really worth it? Do we really possess the authority supposedly in our hands,as the giant and backbone of africa?


All these are questions that needs answers or are we just pretending to be what we are not and deceiving ourselves?

OP, How do you really feel about the statement?

You must be mighty proud of your country now, right?

Well, Giant of Africa, we are. Yes. (LORD LUGARD's fault)

But a GOOD REPRESENTATIVE of Africa? Sorry, No, No.

Unionised: OP, How do you really feel about the statement?

of cause as a full blooded 9ja guy,i feel happy and proud to be recognised with somthing great but i tell you,i always ask ma self these questions. As in sort of 'common are these guys not just deceiving us?'

guess ooo

its true only if it rains.....

Ma teacher usually says that.
It's kinda true sha. In terms of the economy aspect.
Here, our government embezzle millions/billions of nairas.
Buh our economy is still bad but not that bad.
In some countries, if their govt embezzle such amount, you'll see the economy upside down/fluctuating.
We're the gaint of africa. It's just that our govt/some citizens are not helping us look like one.
