The fulani-led zoo can not create, it only understands "come and Chop'. Biafrans who represent the most creative people is west africa made their own weapons and refined crude while at the same time fighting for it's live in the 70s.

Biafra will come. Even in your subconscious you all know it.

I've always known the fastest way to make an enemy out of the average Nigerian is to tell them the truth; majority of Nigerians can barely stand the truth!

Yes. Agreed the guy's comment was very harsh, but it's nothing but the truth. We import almost everything. Almost everything. We're wired for consumption. We hardly produce anything. That's a big challenge for US all. Any consuming nation will continue to be treated with disgust and contempt! Respect is earned!

How many Indians visit our hospitals for medical reasons? These guys are expatriates by our standards. We are a smart people but we have not deployed our intelligence to the betterment of our society!

Yes. We even import intelligence. I read where it was alleged some of our past presidents deployed foreign special forces for personal guards at Aso Rock.

Truth is better than patriotism!

The first step to greatness is the acceptance of TOTAL responsibility for whatever that befalls us.

His comment is very true.
Nigeria is a major oil producer and yet we import diesel and petrol because of very corrupt governments we've been having.

The worse part of the whole thing is that Nigerians don't care whether they're being cheated or not! That's why corruption is endemic in this useless country.

Nigerians should go and bury their f*ucking heads in the sand in shame!

If we are frank! He said the truth.! so we should rather think to change the mentality by putting things right. Even revisiting the expatriate employment. All sort of persons come under the guise of expatriate whether they qualify or not. Have even seen fresh school leavers been employed as expatriate some people with little or no work experience in the area they are manning are also employed expatriate, all sort of abnormalities happen here!

I tell you sister. One of the expatriate employed by construction company in kano turned out to be mere a street musician after careful scrutiny. Once you are white, you will be worshipped here in Nigeria.

The truth is bitter but it has got to be said. The guy hit the nail on the head. What hope is there for a country that imports common toothpic?. A least they produce automobiles in India. In Nigeria 90% of engineer's dream job is sitting in a fully air conditioned office in shirt and tie. Nigerians even import drop outs from India and make them top expatriate bosses.
Re: See What An Indian Expatriate Wrote About Nigeria by Sodiumdawg: 8:42pm On Sep 08, 2015
Show me a successful Nigerian, and I can easily add "against all odds" to his story.

Nigeria's leadership has always been about selling oil, living like kings and feeding us crumbs, so it's hardly surprising this Indian guy said this. Of what quality us our education? Is there any practical knowledge imparted in our universities? India is getting that right, at least.

That said, it cuts both ways. I sometimes lecture my Indian boss about Project Management. He knows next to nothing. I acted in that position for a while, and the project experienced an unprecedented burst of speed! Well, that didn't stop my employers from importing this vacuum-brained galoot to take over from me. The work is currently at a standstill. Shay I dey collect my salary? OK nau!

My opinion? It cuts both ways. The guy could be right, but sometimes Nigeria imports apes to head organizations in which, had it been in US or UK, they couldn't be employed as janitors.

My opinion.

BLACK AFRIcans are factually unintelligent! Look around you, our environment is full of undisputeable proof. We would be exterminated within the next 100 to 200 years. We are primitive humans and can not adapt to the present world.

maybe, just maybe we need such asinine comments to bring us back from limbo to the stark reality of the colossal mess we are in.
No, we don't. Thinking Nigerians know exactly where we are in. Unthinking Nigerians won't know just because some random Indian insulted their country. This sort of comment only generates bad blood. Harsh criticism, yes. Idiotic comment that slurs a people, no. If you know, someone who's father is a drunkard, try to go shouting in his face when he breaks your head tell the world that maybe, just maybe you needed to do that to save his father. This man's comments are not even true per se as I explained in my earlier post.

Should i list Indians for you? Pepsi, Microsoft, Deloitte, former Vodafone, former Citigroup, just past Deutche Bank. Should I continue?

We have a poor attitude to work a work always looking for the short cut and quick riches.

These are screenshots of a comment on facebook about Nigeria that broke my heart. I felt as if the insult was directed at me.

This man worked in same company with me as an expat for a few months. He's my facebook friend, and he's Indian.
Someone asked him to bring something from Nigeria, then he went ahead and lashed the country in his comment.

I want the world to see this careless post. I hope he repents of such a stinking mentality about Nigeria.
He posted the update on sunday afternoon.

I am ashamed you called TRUTH insult.

We Nigerians are still very far from creativity. Its a pity. Nothing is working. Its a conusmer economy. That is why there is poverty everywhere. I asked my friend today how far with his constrution site. He said, thieves went there and stole his Iron rods, 6,000 blocks, even the submerged Sumo, 100 bags of cement while he went abroad for few weeks.

So Nigerians are thieves, corrupt people and lazy people. We produce nothing but consume everything..

You can post all the slums in India, but a few pictures from Maroko will shut you up!
Facts from Forbes 2000 World's Biggest Public Companies.
India has a lot of companies in the 1st 500 and 1000 ranking. No Naija company in the 1st 1000.
India has 56 companies listed while Naija has only 4.
India's Largest company, Reliance Industries sales are $ 71.7bn while Naija entire budget for 2015 is $22.6bn For every N100 FG spends, an Indian company makes N300.
Hard pill to swallow: Keke NAPEP maker, Bajaj, makes more sales than Naija biggest company, Dangote
Next time you see Keke, respect an Indian!!

Some people are so egotistic that they cannot handle truth.

Naija youths are thieves, i mean burglars while their politicians are embezzlers because they all refused to use their brains.

Nigerians have the best brains and graduating students from foreign universities yet back home, we are unproductive.
