What Can We Nigerians Do To Make Nigeria Great ? by Adeomoayo(m): 10:37pm On Dec 04, 2008
All Nigerians home and abroad, it's pertinent here to ask ourselves this question if we really want to make this country a great one, or else, all of us will keep pointing accuse fingers to ourselves without moving forward. Let's start from somewhere and see what we can achieve rather than complaining about being mislead us by our leaders. Let's come up with way(s) of moving this country of ours to her promise land for we can't continue to be living like a slave in the land that full of good human power and abundant mineral resource.

1) Just because you probably are not currently involved in working to help people down there does not mean everyone else is not.

2) many of those who “COMPLAIN”, are actually people working, as we speak, to help some souls down there.

3) We have government that is not working and a country in shambles, why see something wrong in them complaining?

Have you CONFIRMED that ALL the people in Nigeria are done with Slavery ?


You really do not need to open yet another thread on nairaland to figure out how you can help.

Root cause of Nigeria's problem is Corruption! Let's put an end to it.
I can't think of one facet of Nigerian society which corruption is not a part of.

I find this very interesting can you provide some rationale for such a thought process.
Re: What Can We Nigerians Do To Make Nigeria Great ? by Charlesmud(m): 12:34am On Dec 07, 2008
Well I see this to be interesting, I dont understand how some are not even saying encouraging words instead saying some nonsesne stuff. We are all affected by this no matter the location of everyone of us, We are origines of Nigeria and we should know its our home even if its like the home is shaking, to make it stand still its what we now have to figure-out.

I wish we can have more people that shows interest for a better Nigeria instead saying words that makes no sense like "TEA" . Some people are dieing and some are still in deep poverty while our politicians dont care, just keep stealing the money and saying bulshits to their citizens and its so unbelievable that Nigeria could endure this much without reacting to the stop this politicians from more damage and distruction of Nigeria as a whole,

I am open for any idea or movement,

This is a world that filled with different characters with different characteristics. And so far we don't wear the same faces so our opinion must varies. But I think revolution is what we need here in this country. It has been done in Ghana, USA, France, to mention a few, if we have revolution here in this country we'll be able to start afresh.
Re: What Can We Nigerians Do To Make Nigeria Great ? by Charlesmud(m): 8:27pm On Dec 07, 2008
" Nigeria has lost , N36 trillion ($300 billion) to corruption. This was according to figures given by the former World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz."

We can almagine the way this people are stealing the money and still keeping it up, Yes you are right that we need revolution. So how and when ?

Make Nigeria great?

You should first make a blind man see!
Make the deaf hear!
And then probably make the crippled walk and then you can face up with Nigeria.
I think your great, great grandchildren might even wait for a thousand years for that to happen.
Nigeria as the structure stand since 1970 is like a broken pot, the more you patch it up, the more you see more to patch up.
Solution?
Start potting a completely brand new pot, instead of wasting time amending a broken egg.

I don't know how old you are but very soon you will realise why people are not saying what you considered encouraging. If you doubt me ask your father or grand father, as they will tell you that since Nigeria was turn upside down from a federated unit into what no one understands and creating new state govt like sharing akara, things don't get better in Nigeria but gets worse.

I f your plan is to stop the politicians, you are wasting your time. They are like a gang holding each other's hand from North to East, to West and they are now replacing themselves with their children and grandchildren to continue from where they stopped, so the issue of bad governance is now all about DNA.

In Nigeria, a 80 years old man (Shettima Mustapha, Rilwanu Lukman) who don't even know how to post a letter will be appointed into a ministerial position tomorrow and say they will defend the action by saying that the old fella is bringing experience. What then is the experience, since everything have been destroyed from the past till now?

So live us alone with your Nigerian optismism- without those slaves abroad working their backside off to send cash to families back home. Your precious country will as well be like Zimbabwe by now as only 1% of NiGERIANS ARE ENJOYING NIGERIAN WEALTH.

First, age doesn't count in poverty or the situation Nigeria is in, Secondly I was not saying or forcing anyone to do anything.
I am just making my points clear that we can do something about it, they are not God,

You said am wasting my time if am to trying to stop politicians, Well yes I know I can't do it alone and every -1 counts in this situation since majority can endure the poverty and pass it to their children to continue (thats cool for them). It can happen and it will surely happen But I don't know when or how (either peacefully or war but I think war), It can't be possible some taking the money while other suffering to death.

If this generation is useless and weak, am sure the next one wont be like us, Their is always possibilities and from my side , I believe its possible to make Nigeria better if we can stand together to say NO MORE !!! , But its so unfurtunate that most Nigerians choose to remain in it and still they are complaining,

Well should I believe majority of Nigerians are destined to suffer, live in poverty and then die ? (don't even want a better live)

Well that is the only imortant point you had made so far, YOU DON'T WHEN OR HOW.
Nigeria has gone beyond repair and anyone that tell you otherwise is either without brain or part of those prospering within the chaos.

Oga o , Na wa o, So what are you saying ?

That this is the way it should be for life and it will have no solution ?

Nothing can be done ?

We know Nigeria is bleeped up so doesn't it mean it cant be repaired ? Or don't u think it will get more damage if nothing is done ?

Why are people just so scared or what kinda mentality is this ? I'm not accusing anybody but I just don't know why people are backing out and they still keep complaining bla bla bla. DOAMNE,

why would most nigerians want to remain ever so pessimistic about Nigeria being a great country when we will still lay claim to be Nigerians

If the Americans dont make sacrifices for their country how would we be talking about it being a great country lets stop being pessimist and try to make this country work

Re: What Can We Nigerians Do To Make Nigeria Great ? by asha80(m): 5:46pm On Dec 11, 2008
poster if you do not know

most nigerians see nigeria as an enterprise to make money from and not a nation or country to serve and build because there is no feeling of nationhood amongst its people

Until you solve this mindset you cannot make nigeria great

@ Josboy4lif

Corruption is a human thing. Even in your heaven of America did you know that President Elect Obama is asking the Governor of Illinois to resign because of corrupt practices. Just as in Nigeria they want to use wuru wuru to fill the Senate seat left by Obama.

who and who will stop curuption here in this country? we should prepare ourselves for the main task ahead of us. And what is the task i'm talking about? I'm talking about revolution, without it, we are going nowhere in this country.

YOU will stop corruption. By simply standing up and saying NO to bribery and cobruption yourself. By simply refusing to bribe your way through the police check point or mail office, you will stop corruption.

We, the Nigerian people are guilty of bribery and corruption as well. We bribe our ways past police check points, out of paying fees and out of tight situations daily. If we want to end corruption, we need to start with cleaning up our own individual closets. Even if we get government cleaned up tommorow, if you and I do not clean up our own shelves, it will all not matter in the end.

So I don't believe we need to form yet another coalition against corruption. We just need to as individual Nigerians make the decision for change.
