I so much agree with you, especially on no 7. So much land mass. . . I mean, Alaska alone is bigger than Nigeria. . . The whole world could fit into the US. But Russia is still bigger though. . . Lol.... monster size!

What about Canada,it's bigger than the USA put together.

Don't you pay for water in Nigeria too? How many restaurants do you go to in Nigeria that gives free pure water?

It is Illegal to a resturant to charge for water in most states in U.S. So your post is not true about that.

Free??

They are many shelters for homeless people, countless food banks and soup kitchens.
You also receive welfare , discounted living and bus pass if your making below a certain wage.
911 and emergency service will respond on call.

The other day I was in a situation and the cops got here in less than 5 minutes. I'd rather stay here.

How many shelters do you have in your country?
What is free in Nigeria?

You need ID Card to enter certain places because the government cares about the people. A 16 year old should not be at the club drinking alcohol. They are extremely vulnerable. Are you bashing a country for caring for its people.

Minimum monthly wage in america in Naira is 255,200 . (assuming 40 hr/wk at 7.25/hr at 220dollars = 1 Naira)
Minimum monthly wage in Nigeria is 18,000.

Things cannot be sold at the same price.

Americans never post about why they hate Nigeria because well, they know they're better.
Inferiority complex is a terrible thing.

You're right.

Let those who love Nigeria live there.
One day I was at the scene of an accident and the police was called. Within five minutes,I mean before five minutes they don arrive.

There is no American state that is even half of Nigeria, be it landmark and population wise Nigeria is approximately 180 million people the biggest state in Amnerica is California with a population 38million ppl followed by Texas 26million Florida and New York 19each 4 states from 12 to 10million all the rest are 9milion down....................... Wikipedia... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_population

The comparison is land mass not population. Even the link you quoted clearly states that. Texas (just over 600,000km sq) is just a bit smaller than the whole of Nigeria(just over 900,000km sq) and alaska(1.7M km sq) is twice the size of Nigeria.

America needs to implement stricter law for gun control.

People are being shot everyday. Racism is still high in America.

Forget it there will never be stricter law for gun control, white Americans will never allow it. They are locked and loaded and afraid blacks will do to them what they did to blacks. Most gun violence occurs in the inner cities even though whites have more guns, as long as the blacks are killing themselves they are cool with it, it's a form of population control as far as they are concerned.

Are we not truly inferior by our mental LAZINESS

Look around you now and check how many of the things you use that are discovered/invented/made/improved/maintained by black people and/or technology from black people?

Ordinary malaria that almost exclusively occurs on our continent, can we precisely diagnose it with our own home grown and constantly improved technology

Do we have the discipline and can we make the sacrifice for the improvement of the reputation of our black race among other races? This is the question we need to address instead of blaming the past, history other people but our own mental laziness.

We will remain scumbags of the earth if we continue on this path to nowhere.

I have read your take on this topic with keen interest and am quite impressed with your opinions, which are logical and thought-provoking. How do you think the highlighted part of this post can be achieved? What steps do you suggest that can be taken by Blacks/Africans to improve our reputation among other peoples of the world? Thank you.

Thank you very much for this. While I was reading some books on slavery, I read that the abolition of slave trade in America didn't actually go well with some of the blacks themselves because they're used to being owned. Going out their to fend for themselves was even a bigger risk to them, so they whined and cried when they were freed. The feeling of dependency is actually the root cause of what is happening to the AA's. Generations later and they haven't actually been freed of the shackles of mental slavery.

A good example Stockholm's syndrome.

Encourage each other to focus on the real issues for sustainable development like education, especially technical/vocational and promote local consumption while encouraging internal competition. Most importantly stop wasting away our individual & collective wealth on bling bling acquisitions instead of sowing back to our communities.

Our value system needs to change and quickly too.

america is far behind good performing european countries,for e.g gun law,such is not possible in austria where am living.infact people over here makes jokes about america like not serious country.police never have the right to shoot when his not been attacked with a gun even when the suspect or a convict is drive away.even if your black or any race,its never possible because he will end in prison.someone shoot a criminal that he saw in his house with mask while the criminal is trying to ran away.because of that he will go to prison because they said that the guy was trying to run away when he saw him to is not a self defense.and that is the only time you are allow to shoot just to defend yourself.

secondly,america is still debating on obama care when in austria they have health care for every body in the country even if you just enter this minute and register as an asylum seeker,you will get yours immediately.and you are automatically allowed to be taking care of free of charge without paying a cent.that goes to non citizens and citizens.as far as you are in this country and something happens to you,you are well assured that you will be well taking care of by the government.

work is not a problem where as in america someone was saying if you want to have a good or soo soo work to have a standard living in america,you need this course or so.its good to be educated yes but in austria. weather you understand come in german or not,the lowest salary u you will earn is 1000 and that is very few normally and majority is 1200 euros.remember that is if you understand come in german or not.and every 6th june or july you most gets it double for your holiday that is 2400 euros and also in december for your holiday.and this is after tax has been automatically taking out.working time monday to friday 40hrs per week any in the weekend is checked as double that is every hr is calculated as 2hrs and anything over time or late hour work is calculated also more.remember is for no language, no education,no skill just nothing.and if you lose your work and you have work up to 12 months since you are in the country,you will be get lowest if you are in this category that i explain now 750 euros per month till you get another work and it continues like that if you lose it again.they will even get work for you by themselves so that they can stop to you and even something like you transport ticket will be cut down by 75% in the city where am living in linz austria.

if you just have one year stay visa and and you have a wife,and and kids.your wife will be paid every month if she have a new baby for 2yrs depending on how she want it,2yrs if she never work or maybe new from africa or maybe just finished school then 650euros monthly.each kid lowest 200euros depending on how you are making also.50% of your house rent will be paid by the government too.the 2bedroom and a living room we are talking about here that the government will give you as family man is just costing you normally 350 euros then cut out 50% again then you know the maths.dont ever think maybe is just a local house.no because over here every house most meet the standard of the government if not it will be grounded.

remember your health care is free both your child delivery or any form of service is free.not a cent.i can go on and on.interest rate 2 to 3%.under 1000 is free you don`t even need to tell your bank just put your card a press it and you will have it.america is far behind.i can go on and on.my friends that run to america and canada are all back again.they said all the dollars but still at the end you dont see nothing.why should someone as id before entering just a club where you have security.just not normal and everything is fucking expensive compare to what a common man can afford.here is the opposite the poorest over can even afford a brown new car for 20,000euros if is what keeps him or her up at night.

I quite agree with you; nothing good comes easy. It only takes one man or a group of few like-minded progressive people to bring about a significant social change in any society, and I believe people like you and me and other good Nigerians on this forum or elsewhere can achieve that; we can be the change we seek.

In this connection, to make the black (Nigerian) society a better place, we can use online fora like Nairaland and Fb to
1. Suggest practical ways or means by which we can solve common social problems like Corruption, Insecurity, Constant Power Outages, inter alia.
2. Constructively criticize our Government -at all levels- and focus only on important issues; not playing partisan politics based on party/religious/ethnic affiliations.
3. Engage in political discourses whereby contributions from intelligent people can be analysed in order to get reasonable and sound ideas for good governance.

I believe by carrying out some of the aforementioned steps, we can gradually transform our society into a better, safer and healthier place to live in. Indeed, the transformation will surely take time, but it's worth starting; because the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.

Bro you are going round in circles, full of hate and being hypocritical. Apportion the blame where it lies, mostly on we and our fathers.

Are you trying to tell me that if blacks had the machinery (means for circumnavigation and weaponry) the west had then they wouldn't have attempted to conquer less advantaged regions?

Its basic human nature, only thing is that we on the receiving side of this presently. What we need to do now as blacks is understand the system and beat it, not crying all day of what the white man has or hasn't done.

You are programmed to worship whites and hate yourself so I wont blame you. You have no idea how the real world works and you probably know very little of your own history.
Its not basic human nature for people to murder, ra.pe and steal other peoples land and resources its only Europeans who are known for that. The Chinese invented gunpowder but they didn't exploit it and use it as a weapon to invade and conquer other nations again it was the Europeans and that is the only reason why they have amassed so much wealth, everything they have today they stole from others.

How are you going to beat the system when you don't even know who your enemies are , in order to win in this world you have to have a strategy and having a strategy means knowing and understanding why you are in your current predicament, tell me how you are going to win when you keep thinking that the Europeans are your best friends.

Keep living in self-denial. The Chinese were already making use of gunpowder technology in warfare as early as the 13th century.

The biggest enemy of the black man is the black man. Mental weakness is what has left us open time and time again to ra.pe from the white man.

while I agree with certain points that you have made, the skepic me would not fully. Social Engineering is real, and it is one of the many tools that the supremacist aryans have used since the days of expeditions of colombus. While the black man may be the cause of all his problems; another reason we are lik this is because of Nature and its philosophy. On the basis of relativism, there must be two sides to a coin, for every winner, a looser exist; for every fool, a wise sage exists; for every master, a slave must exist. while the white man may never continue being atop forever, certain things just transcend of limited reality.

Did you watch the video below about the Native American people? Did they pick themselves up after their population was massacred by the Europeans? You are very blinkered and exteremely critical of your own race, why? Many other peoples have fared worse than us, the native americans were almost completely wiped out by the Europeans but we are still very much around and yet you say that we are weak.

So the atrocities the Fulani committed in Northern Nigeria, killing and all sorts are excusable because they are Africans too? Damn.... the level of your thinking......

Insidous:


In this age where a 12 year old can pass for a 20 years old with or without makeup, this is most stupid law ever. Why should a club be responsible for someone else's indiscretion or parenting. Is a 12 year old too young to figure out what is wrong and what is right? If the government so badly wants to make someone culpable, what about making that kid criminally culpable for his own choices.

It's only a responsible nation/government that takes the initiative to pass laws that protect the gullible. I find it surprising that you don't see the importance of this law especially when you acknowledge that "a 12 year old can pass for a 20 year old". So tell me, if a 12 year old can pass for a 20 old, how do you identify one?

In other news, what laws have your government passed to protect you? Are they even aware you exist?
