But OP why you go back na? abi you no like better thing?

Lol, my uncle was a strong proponent of the ''no place like home'' mantra. Anytime he calls me, he pounds his ''brotherly'' advice to my ears that I should buy a land and build a house, and come and settle in Nigeria and live like a king lol. It was after I invited him over that he begins to beg how he can be legalized with his family.

Leave matter for martyrs my brother, Naija don cast. completely.

. My ribs oh!! What a story!!! Same thing happened to me . Always believed in Nigeria until i travelled to Dubai,South africa and USA(Orlando,New york and Houston)respectively.

hahn:


When was Nigeria ever great?

Adiwana:


What the hell are you talking about??Your argument has been on sentiment and perception not on facts.Tell me one developed black nation in the whole world..Just one.And please dont tell me South Africa cause we know the reason they are where they are today is because of white people that built that place and still running that place.Remove it and watch that country collapse.African Americans are just 13% of American population but commit over 51% of the crime in the country.Look at Nigeria as an example,we cannot even generate 7000mw in 2018.Cannot pay 30k/month and unemployment level is so damn high.50yrs+ being independent plus the whole resources we have and one of the most hardworking people in the face of the world we can get our shiit together.And you say what?? Stop being ridiculous and stop with the inferiority complex bullshit.Thats why we continue to deceive ourselves using prayers and "it go better" rubbish to keep ourselves down always blaming 1 thing or the other.The earlier you realise this shithole called Nigeria and black race is a backward race,the better

figur:
After my first trip to Japan, arriving Nigeria, it felt like I stepped away from the real 2019 to 1920, everything in Nigeria looked faded, and should be thrown away.

RTSC:
The IQ of Nigeria is 70.




That is less than the IQ of an American mental asylum.

It could be a major reason why organisation and futuristic planning is a taboo to Nigerian leaders.

We only think about the present. We can not and do not plan for the next 20, or 30, 100 or 200 years.

IHate9jerianss:

Your posts on this thread have been very good.
Nigerians fret too much about Nigeria and the "black race".
Nigerians want Nigeria to develop at warp speed which is completely impossible.Do we know how old the nations of China,USA,Japan and France are?Argentina and Mexico are over 100years old yet they still have challenges worse than Nigeria.What had these nations i mentioned achieved when they were 60years old?They mention Singapore..how large is it?and what is the size of their human population?
I am now at peace because I know for sure,Nigeria will become a developed state in about the year 2150

urahara:


Do you know Haiti is 214 years old , do you know Liberia is 171 years old?

Do you know they are both utter shithole worse than even 58 year old Nigeria. Age doesn't determine a countrys success . Did u know Haiti is 68 years older than Canada ?

Baba use your brain.

AngelicBeing:
Chai, I met several Haitians in the West seeking asylum, and I heard several terrible stories from them about their country, Haiti is even worse than Nigeria, Haiti should be auctioned off on eBay to richer western nations, they have useless, satanic, demented voodoo leaders bereft of pragmatic ideas to move the country forward, nonsense

I enjoyed reading your write up and feel your frustration. You also need to manage your frustration. Your choice of words seems like you have some motives for this post.

Many have gone, seen even more than you saw and managed themselves. Also, try to visit Abuja and see some roads, they look quite similar.

Saying Blacks are stupid and the rest in a country and continent that many Africans has changed the cause of humanity says a lot about you sir. You can make a change not by insults but trying to do things right in your little circle.

Mouth Gig:
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO CORRUPTION... ..FOR ME ITALY IS VERY DIRTY COMPARE TO GERMANY, SWISS...

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT BUHARI

SAI BUHARI...

zubino:
@ op are welcome bck to naija.
Earlier this year I travelled out for a training, I cursed Nigeria from my day 1 till the final day I came bck. At some point I questioned God for allowing me be a Nigerian.

When I came bck, I told some of my friends that anyone that dies in Nigeria without travelling out missed a huge part of life everyone should experience. Nigeria is almost a curse considering our level of hardship & uncoordinaion.
No wonder some Africans would rather die in Israeli prisons than return to Africa.

chineji:
Nigeria has never been great and will never be.

AngelicBeing:
Hahaha, they will soon call you unpatriotic, Nigeria is a failed state after the order of Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and South Sudan, those who have ears should hear, the politicians have stolen Nigeria dry, useless shithole jungle killed by both PDP and the current satanic APC led federal criminals and vampires,my position about Nigeria remains the same,

NIGERIA should be auctioned off on eBay to richer western nations, it is better to be a 7th class citizen in the Western world with dignity, equity, fairness and justice and your ability to work smart and become anything you want than to be a Nigerian living in a failed state, nonsense

Gerrard59:


Actually, you are correct. I've thought of writing an article on it, but no time. The African man is the problem because all over the world, it's the men who developed their countries or played a significant role in the development. What do black men do? Drink, sleep with lots of women and inseminate them to procreate lots of children who they cannot take care of adequately.

In a thread last year, someone mocked Asian men for their small pen!s, but he forgot that these Asian men developed their communities and are a force to be reckoned with today.

One will ask, what am I doing to solve the problem? Well, I was born to see them this way and I have come to realise that NOTHING will change for the better. So I save my energy. The previous generations should have solved the problem not mine.

WhoBeThisMan:
op i feeeeeeeeel you

i feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel you.
this was exctly how I felt my first time abroad
you have this over whelming feeling that you have been cheated all your life in Nigeria.

my brother, no matter how mich money you have in Nigeria, you are still live like a poor man and you dont know.

chineji:
Liberia

Liberia Is one hell of an expensive country. A plate of jollof rice at a nice restaurant goes for at least 10 to 15 us dollars. The currency used here is either the liberian dollars or the us dollars. The infrastructure in Liberia is really shit (they just finished a civil war anyway). Monrovia is a real shithole by even shithole standards. We didn't do much in Liberia except patrol around. After our patrol we set sail for the canary Islands.

IbeOkehie:


I followed you here. Nice discussion. This your comment is problematic. Your generation can be the solution.

The more important thing is that Black Africans simply lack or have lost the intellect or ability to create livable nation spaces. That is why the USA should be careful about the KINDS of people they allow into our country. It's not about race, it's culture. Good Luck to Nigeria.

Large numbers of people with poor culture is detrimental.

Gerrard59:

But then, Botswana and Namibia are seemingly well-run.

IbeOkehie:


Their economies are run by Anglo cultured European settlers...they were ruled by the British or English if you may.

Take them out of those places and the result in 25 years will be Nigeria. Look at Zimbabwe.. Or maybe they're learning a new culture. Who knows... Good Luck to Nigeria

Gerrard59:

Mugabe and Zimbabwe in general got sanctioned. And we know why. It is not a complete 100% fault. Thankfully, Zimbabwe has attracted real sector investments from the Chinese these days. What about the destruction of the Black Wall Street in the US?

Gerrard59:

It is on the race entirely regardless of nationality or location. But then, Botswana and Namibia are seemingly well-run.


Agreed.

austino677:
Botswana yes... Namibia nowadays is going bad

I am curious, what is happening in Namibia, and why? Shey oil was discovered there? Aside Guyana, that is the place with the highest number of newly installed oil rigs o in the world.

Commodities 2024: Namibia's nascent oil sector prepares for lift-off in 2024

Author Charlie Mitchell

After a series of unsuccessful spuds in the 1970s and 1980s, the Southwest African Coastal Basin spanning Namibia and South Africa was derided a "graveyard" for oil exploration. In the 48 years following Chevron's Kudu gas discovery in 1974, the Namibian section was only tested twice. Then, last year, everything changed.

"With the discoveries of 2022, the Orange sub-basin went from a Zombie basin to the most exciting exploration destination in the world," said Justin Cochrane, African upstream regional research director at S&P Global Commodity Insights.

With billions of barrels of oil, the Orange Basin could be Africa's largest ever discovery, capable of transforming Namibia from one of the world's poorest countries to a major producer by the 2030s.

First, though, an entire industry must be created from scratch, with oil majors, juniors and tiny buccaneering explorers all competing for a slice of the pie. While a host of new wells are due to be drilled next year, 2024 will be characterized by the transition from exploration to development, market participants and analysts told S&P Global Commodity Insights.

"Exploration is one thing -- neither easy, nor certain and requiring a massive capital outlay. However contemplating a development, that is a different litany of equally complex, interrelated considerations that are in some senses more challenging -- indicating a potential commitment to develop, as Shell and Total each have, speaks to the potential of the Organ Basin opportunity in Namibia." said Robert Bose, president of Sintana Energy, which has indirect stakes in four offshore blocks.

A New Guyana
Shell's Graff discovery and TotalEnergies' Venus find, in blocks 2913A and 2913B respectively, unlocked billions of barrels of oil, "reshaped the exploration landscape, and ultimately resulted in Namibia being compared to Guyana," said Cochrane.

In total, Shell has drilled seven exploration and appraisal wells, including Graff, Jonker, La Rona, Lesedi and Cullinan, while TotalEnergies has drilled three -- Venus, Venus 1-X and Nara -- and is currently sinking Mangetti-1.

Cochrane said the "the complex could hold an in-place resource of around 10 billion boe," and conceivably as much as 3 billion recoverable. "The level of Orange Basin activity is increasing and interest is through the roof," said Bose.

While the majors said Cullinan and Nara were dry, the latter did in fact hit hydrocarbons, just not in commercial quantities, according to reports. TotalEnergies declined to comment.

Majors have been so tight lipped about their Namibia prospects that investors and analysts are relying on clues. Shell, for instance, drilled its second Jonker appraisal well 23 km away from its first exploration well, according to Upstream, suggesting the resource is larger than many believed.
