Watch How Nigeria Was Once Respected By America, What Went Wrong?

Look at the pumps and pageantry Nigeria was once revered in America. Today, our presidents visit America unnoticed.

The snap and have hand shakes with American president and it's celebrated and made a campaign achievement. Rochas Okorocha shook Obama and erected a bill board in Omo.

I ask again, what went wrong?

Can we ever return to this height?

It's the same way Nigerians respect their goat and ram by feeding and petting those animals before they plunge in the knife.

That was an entirely different world though. The cold war, the energy crisis and similar issues are no more relevant.

tuzle:
tafawa balewa use of English was neat and grammatically placed, I almost took is speech for an English man's own

He was the most eloquent Nigerian leader ever

luminouz:

Jesu!! See how this one dey reason!!!!
Very wrong analysis

Happy New Year.

DBlackCeazer:
Just love the way ATB speaks, compared to present leaders

Because you are a slave-minded fool, who thinks speaking with an English accent makes one a ''better'' speaker. Rubbish.

Hmmmm

Wow, see respect.

festacman:
PDP happened. That's it. They came this way and left us bare.

Which PDP? Even Obj had much better respect than Buhari.
It was the successive military governments that destroyed Nigeria. The country failed to grow and advance with other nations.
It's akin to someone who remains in primary school while his mates progress to the University. Even though he had equal respect with them at the beginning, he would later face disdain from them.

khiaa:


Happy New Year.

Same to u dearie!!

The civil war was where Nigeria lost it. When a small ,
Unprepared biafran enclave with only 17 rifles brutalized what was supposedly the military of the giant of Africa backed by Britain ,Soviet union ,east Germany ,Egypt ,Ireland ,Sudan ,Niger ,Chad, cameroon , Arab world etc for30 months ,so much so that Soviet union was embarrassed by the ineptitude of Nigerian military and Nigeria had no option but rely on non combatant tactics of starving women and children also justifying it with the saying that all was fair in war.
It came to a height when the poorly armed biafrans wiped out 90% of the second division with an improvised, locally made ogbunigwe operated by a battalion led by a major uchendu in a small town of Abagana south eastern Nigeria.

Nigeria won the battle but lost the war . And lost it's respect and reputation before the world .

Biafra lost the battle but won the respect, admiration and a dignified reputation before the world.

afonjas and haters of truth will not like this

I fear for my country.
for people to still support these two worst option.
Look inward there are candidate.

DrGoodman:
Well, national leaders weren't lifeless back then.

Well, national leaders weren't corrupt back then

And who was the idiot that started that war biafra or Nigeria

Built2last there 2 people to ask what went wrong:

1. The coupists of January 1966 for striking at all;

2. Yakubu Gowon for reneging on the accord reached in Aburi.

Thank you.

I am just intrigued at his (Sir Abubakar's) use of English. There's no doubt he finished school.

Then, we have what they want and have respect for us but now they have what we want and loss respect for us.

Honestly, Tafawa Balewa oozes confidence. He is not like our present crop of leaders who act like excited monkeys when they meet today's crop of white leaders.

then the PDP appeared

Ignoramus.

Children like you who grew up to see PDP as the first political party should not be talking.

Buhari overthrew Shagari and that was the beginning of the end.

lakesider:
rubbish.. Has Russia lost its respect?

Soviet Union lost it's respect

Hmmmm...

Lazy youths and miscreants like these poster were all in slave camp then, so there were less nuisances in the Nigerian society.

you are right bro u said it all.

What went wrong is when Buhari came in 1983 as military and 2015 as civilian.

But mostly is the gullibility of Nigerians and the politics of hatred.

The north has 82% blame of the status quo. They are the problem of the south.

Without the north, southern Nigeria as a country will be the pride of Africa.

Argue with your ancestors

Shattap! Pride of Africa with your cultism, ritual killing, baby factories And Yahoo ways? Now your women cannot even spread their panties in peace and you are here talking about pride? How do you define pride?

Of course nothing went wrong. Then they were still luring us to steal our oil. Now they have got all they want and of course oil is loosing relevance to electricity, so our oil is of little use and of no use in near future. Shikina!

Pro happened since 1961? Is your sense paininh you? What a daft statement.

Rubbish!

You just can't make a good point without bringing in your tribal and ethnical bigotry,must you show your stupidity all the time?..
Tell me how biafra won respect of the world??
You biafrans are only further dragging Nigeria's name in the mud,because we are now seen as a country that can't unite..
Imagine in 21th century,some stupid people like you are clamouring for a fiction..
Please just use your senses this new year!

some people will still force themselves to sound reasonable despite ending up sounding stupid... in 21st century is when you are still forcing people to remain with you... if Biafrans should leave and have their own nation, will you die or will your mother turn to a man I really don't understand how it is, that some of you people can't think... They drag your name in the mud, and you don't like it, why not let them go?? Igbos say, instead of a bat to bite me, let the bat fly away.... You feel Igbos are bitting you, why not let them go away?

jaymaf:

The military handed over to PDP in 1999 and after 16years of looting and abandoned projects Nigeria's peers left him behind. Yet you are still talking 1961.

That will be better than insurgency and illiteracy.
Nigeria government of today is a professor taking orders from a cattle rearer.
WAEC of today is 60% mark for credit in the south and 35% mark for credit in the north, and you jump up
The 1600 system of cattle rearing is still your system in the 21th century
Almajiri you are and almajiri you will die.
Blood sucker, parasite and senseless you.
May 2019 open your eyes to reality
