mr.official:

After all, you didn't say anything about it.

[b]Yes, I did!  If you look closely, you'd noticed I interjected briefly where I said, that it is a blessing and not a jamb question. Sensed you'd prefer I say more on this topic? Well, its really annoying saying much to deaf ears when Nigerians could not even do any thing to rid themselves of these SUCKERS!! We are a nation of BIG MOUTHERS and DO NOTHINGS - that's what we are known for. 

If 'twas a case or topic involving women wanting EQUAL Rights from men/society, y'all would have been up in arms displaying your machismo and querying who gave us right to talk. . Now, I challenge you all (who call yourselves MALES) to show the same venom by physically going up to Abuja and drag Yar'dua and his henchmen onto Nigeria's HOT SEAT to answer the people instead of shouting women down when they ask for their rights. So, go show your male ego at Abuja Capital and let the world see, you can actually change the Country instead of talk, talk and more talk. . 

Anyway, Nigeria's oil is really a BIG, BIG BLESSING and God knew why he endowed Nigeria with this resource. Not because, Nigeria is Righteous country but because Our Heavenly Father knows she deserve it else, it wouldn't have been allocated to Nigeria. It would have been given to another country but unfortunately, it seemed cursed by tribalism, religious differences, inefficient and talentless leaders lacking creativity and foresight.

You see, none of these leaders have achieved anything they can be proud of, in Nigeria let alone on the International platform. Since they are not proud of themselves, how could they be proud of their own country in order to seek her better future.

They don't love themselves and can not love our beautiful Nigeria blessed with OIL, SAND AND SEA + MORE, MORE AND MORE!!!. Very sad, indeed! [/b]

Fhemmmy:

^^^^ and the oil has been able to effect changes to lives?

In countries that know what they are doing and occupied by real human beings, YES!

It has been a blessing, only that the blessing has been misused to the benefit of a few.

In school i was taught that "OIL IS THE DEVIL'S EXCRETA"

Nigeria is country blessed by God. The leaders are just allowing the crumbs touch the masses. Oil is a blessing and will be more blessing if and when utilised well.

Moderator plz change the poll question, the question should either be curse or blessing and not both in one question.

Oil has and always been a blessing to Nigeria, however, it wasn't and still is not managed properly. Nigerian leaders misused her blessings for their own benefit.

Well, as most people pointed out it is not the oil that is the curse but the leadership of this country although they are not d ones par say constituting the problems at hand but a the spirit that lives in them as they have sold their souls to d devil and he his d one controlling their affairs.The Bible says when the righteous rule the people rejoice but since these ones have chosen d part of destruction they will continue that way until there is a divine intervention.I pray God will help us out.As 4 those in power causing the common man pain they shall also experience pain unlimited.In yoruba"Olopa e wo ni tepe" u may say, but my heart grieves as i type may God give Nigerians succour

you poll is meaningless but the topic is a good one

Oil is a curse. It is the glue that keeps us together. If it wasn't any oil, then I bet the Yoruba and the north would go their separate ways and would not give a dammn about the fictional South-South.

Such a dump question?
