Well, you are entitled to your opinion and rude character. I would never join issues with you on that. I guess you are one of those backward-looking Nigerians by comparing Nigeria with some backward countries like Bangladesh, Peru, Djibouti, Burma, etc.

Nigeria of today should rather be competing with the likes of the Mexico and India you mentioned wrongly and out of myopic thoughts.

I have been to most of the countries too including the so-called western countries.

I have been to India severally

I was in Iraq last year and I wondered if they practiced the same islam like our muslims do here because of the spate of development there..

Is Dubai in UAE also a western colony mr Man?

Pakistan was recently invited by Buhari to help train in some areas...what a pity! I have been to Abudabad in pakistan and I challenge you visit there and come back to spew your bunkum and sheer ignotance again.

Malaysia and Indonesia are a good examples...or are they also western countries? One of them came to learn about palm oil in Nigeria but now , has become the world leader in palm oil producer...which school did you attend my friend?

I urge you go back and learn more because your thinking is so shallow, I am sorry. Have you been to Ghana lately?

Rosskii:


Honestly, my brother, something is seriously wrong with our people.

I was thinking the exact same thing as you. NOWHERE DID THE ARTICLE EVEN REMOTELY IMPLY THAT NIGERIA WAS A ''FAILED STATE''.

It was our self hating, inferiority complex filled low lifes here who call themselves Nigerians that somehow found a way to twist that article into something that casts Nigeria in the worst possible light.

Some of you ignorant fools who think Nigeria is a ''failed state'' need to really travel around and see what a ''failed state'' really looks like. Stupid imbeciles. If they send any of you LOW LIFES to an actual failed state, like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria or Yemen, YOU WILL BEG FOR YOUR MUMMY AND DADDY TO TAKE YOU BACK TO NIGERIA IMMEDIATELY.

WORTHLESS, USELESS, SELF-HATING FOOLS.

Was that not how some of you MORONS started crossing desert into Libya, where they captured you and sold you into slavery??

I'm sure before you left Nigeria you were thinking you were passing through heaven into paradise. Since everywhere outside Nigeria - including Libya - is heaven in your dumb, illiterate mentality.

Was it not some of the Libyan returness, who came back and on national TV warned Nigerians against hating their country to the extent of wanting to leave at all costs? After his Libyan experience, where they were treated worse than dogs, he said, ''Now I know the value of the great Nigeria, my country, and my fatherland. If I had known, I would have remained home and continued in my business.''.

How I wish some of you ignorant, moronic dolts would go through his experience so you will learn to value what you have.

awelekiti:
Honestly, I regretted ever wasting my precious time responding to your rude comments and ideas bereft of reason. Had I read this your meaningless post much earlier, I wouldn't have taken my time to reply you in my earlier posts. You are indeed a relic of a lost age. I hope you realise how backward-thinking you are before it is too late

Nigeria has yet again been 'disgraced' internationally, following an assignment Harvard University gave to its students in which Nigeria was used as a case study of a failed African country.

The question Harvard University gave its students reads;

Africa is growing. Seven of the the ten fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa, and the continent's largest economies are becoming less dependent on extractive commodities. The continent's rising middle class has demonstrated a taste for consumer goods and technological innovation, and Africa's population-currently more than a billion people- is booming and overwhelmingly young at a time when populations in other regions are shrinking and aging.

Nigeria, sub-saharan Africa's largest economy, epitomizes both the promise and the problems the continent faces in the 21st century. The contry had failed to thrive for its first thirty years as an independent nation, despite having a developmental head start relative to countries like China and India, as well as hundreds of billions of dollars in oil revenue.. Now, after pathbreaking reforms followed by signs of retrenchment, Nigeria's new President faced both vast opportunity and grave challenges. Would the country flourish or founder in this new era? We will analyze key reforms in Nigeria's economy, significant political developments, and the choices facing the country's fast-growing private sector.

Why did Nigeria fail to thrive between 1960 and 1999, particularly relative to China and India?

How would you characterize former President Obasanjo's legacy?

Are you bullish or bearish on the next fifteen years for Nigeria? What would make you change your mind? What opportunities do you see? What are the challenges (and risks)

It all dawn to the past and present leaders who represented or still representing us at federal, state and local level. Even the citizen of the country can't be spare as individuals compromise their way to the top;, involve in illegal business like drug trafficking, skull mining, armed robbery, counterfeiting product, etc.

It gives me a lot of concern that this country may not get fix in 1000years even if we have the right leaders at the helm of power.

If Buhari can insult us that feeds him and his family, why won't Harvard mock us.

scams, land sales, car sales, mmm and the other ones


buhari might be blunt and harsh but in our hearts we know that what he said is true

Annie939:
who should we blame for this misfortune?

DerideGull:
Even dumbass fool knows that the shithole called Nigeria is a failed state. It made the rank not because of the similar conditions of failed state but for the fact that Nigeria had enormous wealth yet failed woefully.

Buhari said Nigerian youths are lazy
Yes they are for
*selling their votes for empty promises of 5k monthly
*Reduced price of petrol from #85 to #50
*1 dollar to 1 naira from 1 dollar
They deserve all the insults they're getting from this government for the past 4yrs

bioye:
It's either everyone that has posted so far did not read the original post or most Nigerians are truly brainless. The article says though Nigeria didn't thrive for the first 30 years, it is thriving now. It went ahead to praise the path-breaking reforms of our leaders since return to democracy in 1999. Nowhere did the article say Nigeria is currently a failed state!

Rosskii:


Those represent the MAJORITY nations on earth. They are DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. That is what you term them. You claim to have gone to school yet you and your ilk still reason like illiterates. You are not supposed to look down on those countries. You are supposed to learn from them, because similar issues affecting them affect your country.




What is in Mexico and India? There are parts of those two countries that they will take you to and you will wonder if you are in the 21st century or the 12th. India has millions of dirt poor people, mass illiteracy, and is struggling with power cuts, poor public services, corruption, and social ills like terrorism, rap.e, and is in fact known as the ra.pe capital of the world. Mexico is a crime haven filled with drug dens and drug lords, and massive corruption. Of course, like everywhere else, they have their good sides, their nice neighbourhoods, and growing industries. But why overlook their ills and overblow their achievements? And then you overblow Nigeria's ills, and downplay her achievements. Question is, why do you hate yourself and your country?




You have NOT been to ''most of the countries'' on earth, so stop lying.



Where and where did you go to in India? Did you visit the hinterland, the rural areas, or the poorer states like Jakharnd and Manipur, and Chattisgaar? How long were you there?

If India is such a great place, why is America, England etc filled with Indians, even more so than Africans?

Why does research show that India is POORER THAN AFRICA?

http://www.primepost.in/more-poor-in-india-than-africa/



You are talking RUBBISH, and this symbolises your wretched level of self hatred and inferiority complex. Iraq by all indices and measurements is a a DISASTER ZONE, A WARTORN NATION with malnutrition, broken infrastructure and services, bombed out buildings everywhere you look, and widespread terrorism. YET to you it is a place to be admired, while Nigeria is a place to be condemned. Why don't you go and live in Iraq, so we can know that it is Eldorado? Is it only to type rubbish on nairaland?



USE YOUR BRAIN FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE. UAE has a population under 8 million, and yet its oil and gas reserves are 4 times that of Nigeria, and she exports three times more oil than Nigeria per annum. WHY OH WHY would UAE, Kuwait etc not be places where everyone is materially content? Nigeria has 200 million people, and you are expecting Nigeria to be like UAE and Kuwait, or Qatar? Tiny nations with massive oil and gas resources? I mean, what was the point of your education if you still reason like a dunce? Nigeria's path forward is through diversification, not dependence on oil and gas.



Pakistan suffers from daily power cuts:

https://en.dailypakistan.com.pk/pakistan/pm-abbasi-convenes-special-meeting-as-karachis-power-crisis-deepens/

Pakistan suffers from infrastructural deficiencies, mass poverty, corruption, illiteracy, and terrorism.

That you went to Pakistan and 'enjoyed' yourself is as irrelevant as somebody coming to Nigeria and stopping over in Abuja, then Victoria Island Lagos, before departing with praise and loud admiration for how 'advanced and developed' Nigeria is.




Stop mentioning the few Asian tigers. They were heavily supported by the west in the post WW2 era, with transfer of technology, finance, and the opening of western markets to their manufactured goods. The west did this in order to checkmate the advance of communism in the Asia-Pacific. Without that western intervention, places like Malaysia would be no different from Burma or Cambodia. Are those not their neighbours and brothers?



Where and where did you go in Ghana? Did you enter their villages and small towns, where power is non existent, and schools are run down?. Every Nigerian fool goes and spends two nights in Accra, and suddenly Ghana is Japan. Dude, GHANA is a developing country like Nigeria. There is nothing in Ghana by way of development that you will not find ten times more of in Nigeria. And there is no form of underdevelopment in Nigeria that you will not find in Ghana.

I believe the research is an empirical one filled with facts...

Nigeria is a glaring example of a failed nation. A nation still grappling with one of the basic necessities of life like water and power. A nation that was touted to be among the greatest in the world after five decades of Independence but today the nations that were tipped together with us like Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Chile have all galloped and trotted beyond our reach, currently we are going to those nations cap in hand begging for assistance. The country is a disgrace to nations that secured their independence in the '50s.
Our leaders think they are taking us for a ride and making fool of us but they don't know that the time for reckoning is near cause we have reached the rubicon.

If not for the prejudices you harbour you would have asked the simple question "what is the specification of this multi-million Naira bike"

The truth is sacred. Yet I can write anything about you knowing some people would believe it without evidence.

Na who go suffer am?

Buhari?

I pity you lot.

freshdude99:

You haven't made any reasonable point young man...
Of what use is the specification on the power bike to me for Christ sake?
Before pitying me alot, pls spend sometime to reason and pity ur sorry self first!
Bunch of incomprehensible entity

GavelSlam:


If you had a brain, a little bit of brain matter, you would realise anyone can claim anything, any price to anything.

You guys go around with obvious lies about the cost of a bike but once you are asked what type of bike you all develop seizures simply because you have been bred in lies.

If I was to make any claim here I would back it up with sufficient evidence.

Type of Bike?

What are the specs?

How many cc ?

They can't give you that not even the colour but when it comes to price you can brandish any figure you pull from the air.

Hollow Donoughts.
