Why Should Any Reasonable Person Want To Be A Nigerian? by teufelein(f): 1:58am On Feb 20, 2019
WHY SHOULD ANY REASONABLE PERSON WANT TO BE A NIGERIAN?

I don't want to be a Nigerian. Why?
Nigeria was a colonial creation.
Nigeria is a failed state.
Nigeria is too violent.
Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world.
Nigeria is a completely useless country.
Nigerian passport has no respect internationally.
Nigeria has one of the weakest currencies in the world.
Nigeria is smelly, dirty and filthy.
Nigeria has no pipe-borne water.
Nigeria has no regular electricity.
Nigeria has no good healthcare system.
Nigeria is still battling with tropical diseases.
Nigeria is the only place in the world where Polio (Poliomyelitis) still exists.
Nigeria is yet to manufacture common pencils in 2019.
Nigeria has no good roads.
Nigeria has no social security.
It goes on and on and on.

COME OH BIAFRA!
ALL HAIL BIAFRA!

SETTING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT:

The removal of history from school curriculum in Nigeria was deliberate. Here are some facts about academia in Nigeria. Don't let anyone deceive you. These facts can be verified.

•The first Black Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan was an Igbo man named Professor Kenneth Dike.
•The first Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos was an Igbo man named Professor Eni Njoku.
•The first Nigerian Rector of the then Yaba College of Technology was also an Igbo man

The first Nigerian Professor of Mathematics was an Igbo man named Professor Chike Obi – the man who solved Fermat’s Last Theorem. He was followed by another Igbo man named Professor James Ezeilo, Professor of Differential Calculus and the founder of the Ezeilo Constant.
The first Nigerian professor of history was an Igbo man Professor Kenneth Dike who also became the first black vice chancellor of the University of Ibadan.

The first Nigerian Professor of Botany was an Igbo man named Professor Eni Njoku. He went on to become the very first vice chancellor of the university of LAGOS.

The first Nigerian Professor of Anatomy and Physiology is Professor Chike Edozien an Igbo man who is also the current Obi of Asaba.
The first Nigerian Professor of Physics was Professor Okoye an Igbo man who became a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA in 1960. He was followed by the likes of Professor Alexander Anumalu who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics three times for his research in Intermediate Quantum Physics.

In Nuclear Physics and Chemistry – again another Igbo man – Professor Frank Ndili who gained a Ph.D in his early ’20s at Cambridge Univesity in Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in the early ’60s. This young Asaba man had made a First Class in Physics and Mathematics at the then University College Ibadan in the early ’50s.

First Professor of Statistics – Professor Adichie who’s research on Non-Parametric Statistics led to new areas in statistical research.
What about the first Nigerian Professor of Medicine – Professor Kodilinye – he was appointed a Professor of Medicine at the University of London in 1952. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka after the war.
What about Astronomy – again another Igbo man was the first Professor of Astronomy – please, look up Professor Ntukoju – he was the first to earn a double Ph.D in Astronomy and Mathematics.

Let’s go to the Social Sciences – Demography and statistical research into population studies – again another Igbo man – Professor Okonjo who set up the first Centre for Population Research in Ibadan in the early ’60s. A double Ph.D in Mathematics and Economics.
Philosophy – Professor G D Okafor, who became a Professor of Philosophy at the Amherst College USA in 1953.
Economics – Dr. Pius Okigbo who became a visiting scholar and Professor of Economics at the University of London in 1954. He is also the first Nigerian Ph.D in Economics.

Theology and theological research – Professor Njoku who became the first Nigerian to earn a Ph.D in Theology from Queens University Belfast in Ireland. He was appointed a Professor of Theology at the University College Zambia in 1952.
The Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) has a record of the state with the highest number of professors in Nigeria and as at 2014 that state is Imo State. You can go to this commission and verify.

Anambra state was the first in WAEC, UNITY SCHOOLS ENTERANCE EXAMS, NECO AND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Therefore, whenever some people address you Igbos as mere traders, tell them that in addition to doing very well in business, science, technology and SPORTS you are also ahead in academia. No amount of hatred can change blessings from God almighty. Let the hating continue while we keep doing what we know best, DEVELOPMENT!

ADVICE TO NIGERIANS; Let us compete fairly (without quota system) and give the best positions to our brightest – be it Igbo, Yourba, Hausa or Fulani, and then we shall see who the most successful Nigerians are.

IGBO KWENU, KWENU, KWEZUENU!

Dr Maduka Ogwueleka (MRCPUK) and Dr Samuel Okafor (PhD History)

The Pathetic South

So the caliphate set the ball rolling in 1999 by presenting the Decree 24 as the 1999 Constitution. To make that Book of Lucifer gain some acceptability, the Military-Caliphate cabal settled on someone they were certain wouldn't rock the boat with some ideology. They settled on Mr. Obasanjo as president.

With the choice of Mr. Obasanjo, several birds were killed in one fell swoop:

1. The 1993 annulment of the electoral mandate of Mr. Abiola was doused with a certain Mr. Obasanjo as replacement...
2. The Yoruba were seemingly appeased for the absurdity of the 1993 annulment...
3. Mr. Obasanjo was a loyal cabalist of the Military-Caliphate cabal and did not rock the caliphate boat...
4. The 1999 Constitution would be eased into the polity with less difficulties.

With Mr. Obasanjo, the South was less belligerent. The Military-Caliphate cabal did succeed to a large extent; Obasanjo held steady as mandated...
The Yoruba are a smart lot; the intellectuals among them took a very hard look at the 1999 Constitution, and totally rejected it. Afenifere, alongside numerous Yoruba groups, absolutely rejected the Constitution. Truth be told, the Yoruba were the first ethnic nationality to reject the 1999 Constitution as an evil document!

With the Yoruba's rejection of the Book of Lucifer, the call for a Sovereign National Conference commenced. The Igbo and other ethnic nationalities in the South quickly studied the 1999 Constitution too and were alarmed. They quickly joined the Yoruba, and in no time, the calls for a Sovereign National Conference became the mantra!
Mr. Obasanjo didn't find this funny; at every turn, he undermined the calls for constitutional changes. He was militaralistic and ruled with iron hand. Reformers hated but feared him...and were glad to see him go.
Along came Messrs. Yaradua and Jonathan, the calls for absolute constitutional reforms became louder. Mr. Yaradua died and Mr. Jonathan had to do something. He convoked a National Conference albeit not sovereign. The wishes of Southern Nigeria were about to be realised! Or so we thought...
The APC was birthed and the Yoruba were promised the vice presidency. Mr. Tinubu had all but seized control of the political machinery of the Yoruba by then. With the presidential lucre in mind, he betrayed the aspirations of the Early Constitutional Reformers of Yoruba Origins!
He undermined the call for constitutional reforms; installed his figurehead and provided the vice...In that singular move, he destroyed the cries for constitutional reforms among the Yoruba.

The Igbo, Izon, Efik and others carried on. They were labelled Wailers, 5%, and other demeaning appellations. These people were relentless. It got so hot that IPOB, ADF, MEND, Nigeria Delta Avengers and others sprouted. By the time the government could come up for air, secession was the fad! The people of the East and the Atlantic were determined to break out of Nigeria!
People died....
The Nigerian government felt so threatened that the East and South of East were militarilized to the hilt. DSS everywhere; and the people remained resolute. Biafra, Nigeria Delta Republic, and others. Either they would have the Constitution changed, the country restructured or absolute meltdown!
How do we contain these people? Asks the Military-Caliphate cabal?
So they provided them with a seeming less obnoxious candidate, and from among the secessionists, they chose a vice presidential candidate! Brilliant!
Just as it happened in 2014/2015, when the Yoruba agitation for constitutional reforms was destroyed with the choice of Mr. Osinbajo as vice president, in 2019, the choice of Mr. Peter Obi brought the agitation of the Igbo and Niger Delta cousins to a screeching halt!
Over a 4-year period, the Military-Caliphate cabal has almost completely destroyed the agitation for constitutional reforms most desired by the South, by employing the hypocrisy of Southern Nigerians, to destroy the most desired reforms of Southern Nigerians.
A carrot thrown here, an apple thrown there, and Southern Nigerians scramble around like hungry refugees from Somalia; hailing the oppressor and praising him for being the best thing to have happened to the earth after Hot Moi-Moi!
And the Battle for Restructuring suffered major setbacks....
Just for a few Shekels of Silver...smh

Just look at us...look at us in Southern Nigeria? Just see how pathetic we are; a people so educated yet without ideology. A people so easily swayed from the Path of Vision. A people that would employ all sorts of excuses and intellectual gymnastics to avoid confessing that they are often outsmarted by seeming non intellectuals. Just look at us? We have abandoned a noble fight started almost a century ago for a few crumbs at the table of the oppressor! With no clear vision of the future...yet we go into alliances we hardly understand...what a mess!
We are a pathetic lot...a people without vision...a region with very poor definition of national and regional aspirations! We are a disgrace to ourselves!
Shame on us all! Shame!!

THE NORTHERNERS ARE SLOWLY GETTING THE POINT:

Nakafi Sarawy (pictured) is an Hausa-Fulani. Here is what he said about Nigeria.

"If you call Nigeria a zoo, you cheat the animal kingdom. The animals should charge you for treason. Nigeria is worse than a zoo. Have you ever seen a group of zebras or antelopes or gazzells or lions or tigers killing their species? But in Nigeria more especially in the North, Hausa/Fulanis are killing their brothers, sisters and children. Then how can you compare us with the group of zebra that are not killing themselves? I that l am talking to you l am Hausa/Fulani front and back".
