What David Cameron Did Not Know About NIGERIA by Honourable001: 11:40am On May 22, 2016 |
WHAT DAVID CAMERON DID NOT KNOW ABOUT NIGERIA. All over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves . In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you'll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated . 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k . In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations . A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State . The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija . South Africa couldn't have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played . Of the 3 Presidents who ruled South Africa after apartheid, two of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum . Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone that the world ignored because they have no oil. When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power . Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil . 500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask . Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610 . We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge. The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station. Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past. If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you'll not get the full picture of your Nigerian heritage . Do not listen to any leader who says Nigerians are criminals, no matter who he is, or his height and position . We're not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness. What CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians. On the 7th May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians. They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas et al. If you don't blow your trumpet, no one will blow it for you. VIVA NAIJA 5 Likes |

OP, those achievements are swallowed up by the level of poverty in the land. Of what benefit are professors in a land where the people can not boast of basic social amenities? Even the profs are suffering from poverty. 2 Likes |

Nice facts... Just doesn't cure the fantastically corrupted mentality of the 'now' Nigerians far and wide. The Nigeria of today is becoming more a joke day-in-day-out... No doubt we are pace setters, but those who are meant to set the pace tomorrow are being empoverished, battered, left to sleep on the streets, constantly huzzling to get their next meal... All these cannot be ignored for the achievements of the priviledged few. A greater percentage of those we have up there in the post will end-up working et making a living, and doing good for their families alone by working in these communities where they achieved those feat. . DO WE ALL NOW MOVE AWAY FROM NIGERIA TO GO ABOUT MAKING HISTORY AND FEATS in another man's land just coz we wanna prove the Westerners wrong?. No, Charity begins at home. 1 Like |
