What David Cameron Did Not Know About Nigeria. by MyX1: 1:07pm On Jun 02, 2016 |
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. CAMERON DID NOT KNOW ABOUT
NIGERIA.

OP This your post would have meant something if your president agreed with you. But Buhari does not see neither does he believe you. He has been going around the world telling them all Nigerians are corrupt. So dont blame Cameron he only added “fantastically“ to what your darling & loving president told them. 1 Like |
