20 THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT NIGERIA.

You may already know that Nigeria is the largest black nation in the world and the most populous nation in Africa.

You may already know that Nigeria has great dependency on crude oil, plus all the other opinions of David Cameron. Here are 20 unpopular facts about Nigeria.

1. Are you aware that all over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves? Do you know??

2. 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.

3. 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%.

4. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k.

5. In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations.

6. A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK.

7. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State.

8. The World's fastest supercomputer was designed by a world renowned inventor and scientist, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian whose patency was awarded in 2015. This means Nigeria has the patency to the world's fastest computer: a Black Nigerian.

9. The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. Both have no trace of criminal record of any kind.

10. South Africa couldn't have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played.

11. Of the 3 South African Presidents who ruled 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.

12. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone which the world ignored because they have no oil.

13. When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power.

14. Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil.

15. 500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask.

16. Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610. Google and see what she means to Africa.

17. We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge. We are not poor blacks. Nigeria is rich and don't be lied to.

18. 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.

==========

Here is what CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians:

19. 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!!!

20. There are over 180,000,000 Nigerians world over and only less than 250,000 of this figure have traceable criminal records. This is about 0.14% of our entire national population in the last 20 years: nothing close to 1%. Shame on global media.

These are good records at least.

We know

If Only tribalism will let us.

1. Let the East advance in their technology and manufacturing (silicon valley)

2. Let the South produce their oil (Texas)

3. Let the North produce their agriculture

4. Let the South produce their intellects.

We all have a role to play, our difference is our strength and not weakness, we need to realize that!!!

Lalaticlala come and see..




The Old Nigerian was better oh

Op are u saying Alakija is wealthier than Oprah?

I taught Oprah is the wealthiest black woman abi Oprah na white?

I don't know much about Nigeria ,But I know one thing though:Nigeria is a dirty ,corrupt third world shithole inhabited by monkeys. I won't recommend any friend, tourist or investor to waste their money on the shiithole . I only care about Oron and maybe akwa cross,and that's the only place I look forward to do business whenever sea port is ready. .

Senseless

How much be this land

Optimistic and positive people benefit more from life. Excellence is an individual choice. While some choose to be grouchy about Nigeria and be intimidated by exaggerated negatives about Nigeria, others are taking their lives in their own hands by excelling outstandingly.

Proudly Nigerian until we separate, if ever.
