Originally copied from a facebook group. A Russian saw me in my office and said where are you from , i said am from the greatest country in the world.He looked at me with a very strange look and said let me guess u are from Nigeria , i said yes. Out of curiosity he said considering whats happening in your country now why would you say shes the best in the world and i asked him to sit down and let me tell him what he and most people dont not know about Great Nigeria and i told him these....... 1. Are you aware that all over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves? Do you know?? 2. In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you’ll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated. 3. 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%. 4. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k. 5. In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations. 6. A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK. 7. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State. 8. The World’s fastest supercomputer was designed by a world renowned inventor and scientist, Philip Emeagwali, a full- blown Nigerian whose pat ency was awarded in 2015. This means Nigeria has the pat ency to the world’s fastest computer: a Nigerian. 9. The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. Both have no trace of criminal record of any kind. 10. South Africa couldn’t have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played. 11. Of the 3 South African Presidents who ruled after apartheid, two of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum. Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly. 12. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone which the world ignored because they have no oil. 13. When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power. 14. Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil. 15. 500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask. 16. Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610. Google and see what she means to Africa. 17. We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge. We are not poor blacks. Nigeria is rich and don’t be lied to. 18. The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station......... Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past. If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you’ll not get the full & true picture of your Nigerian heritage. Do not listen to any leader who says Nigerians are criminals, no matter who he is, or his height and position. We’re not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness........ Here is what CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians: 19. On the 7th of May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians. The entire world still envies our uniqueness as a NATION, living together despite our ethnic diversity. One single country with over 400 languages. They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas. If you don’t blow your trumpet, no one will blow it for you. VIVA NAIJA!!! 20. There are over 180,000,000 Nigerians world over and only about 250,000 of this figure have traceable criminal records. This is about 0.14% of our entire national population in the last 20 years: nothing close to 1%. Shame on global media. 21. Nigeria took care of Ebola with no help from other countries. US have send delegates to Nigeria to know how we did it with our own resources. Listen Nigeria, don't let anybody woo you into believing that you are a criminal just because you are a Nigerian. Nigerians are NOT criminals. You are NOT a criminal. You are topnotch; second to none around the world. I am proud am created a Nigerian, thank you God. Be proud of Nigeria wherever you go. Take out your Passport with pride. He couldnt talk and just walked away. Am proud to be a Nigerian and be from that country.... God bless Federal Republic Of Great Nigeria. Be proud of your country like I do. Please Continue Sharing This....Until all Nigerians see it!

this is the most stupid post I have read this year...

You're proud of Nigeria because you made it out of Nigeria. Go to the streets of Nigeria and ask people (mostly young people with liveable future) why they shouldn't be proud of Nigeria and they'd give you 200 reasons.


So Alajika (the woman who owns an oil well because she was close to Mrs Babangida) is richer than Oprah Winfrey, and according to you the richest black woman?

Rubbish!

Which country?Nigeria.this country called Nigeria hasn't seen things more clearly like a nation that had discovered the use of her second eye.we haven't started to speak like a people who had learned to use their brains.And we haven't started to perform like men who have destiny.So what should l be proud of?Absolutely nothing.

There was a country called Nigeria.

this is the most stupid post I have read this year...

Thank you. This nonsense must have been composed by an illiterate. If I begin to debunk all the lies in this write-up, most Nigerians will be filled with so much disgust & contempt - but unfortunately I don't have the time.

This is the reason I had to deactivate my facebook account in 2011, since that is where the most primitive & daft people congregate.

I love Nigeria but all these nonsense written up there are nothing but hogwash concocted by a brain-dead nematode.

1.) The claims of Philip Emeagwali has been debunked times without number.

http://saharareporters.com/2010/11/04/father-internet-fraudulent-claims-will-real-philip-emeagwali-stand

2.) While it is true that Nigeria contributed to the end of Apartheid in South Afrika, it was Fidel Castro & his cuban mercenaries that ended Apartheid in South Afrika.

3.) I would have loved the asshole that composed this nonsense to elucidate on this statement below:

"9. The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. Both have no trace of criminal record of any kind."

Below is a link that shows list of top 10 female billionaires in the world and Folorunso Alakija is not even on the list.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_billionaires

As of March 15, 2019 - Aliko Dangote is the 136th richest in the world.

Like I said, I could go on & on but mii o nii time.

am sorry to say, but you just spoke like an illiterate, am not saying you are though......
But check this, an illiterate is one who reads with speed, doesn't care to understand what he just read, didn't even try to comprehend only to come and drop a dumb comment.
If you look closely at that post, i said Richest BLACK MAN AND WOMAN and not richest man and woman, Google it and prove me wrong.
For Philip's case, a group of persons against him is nothing compared to his achievements, alot of top ICT companies consult him for ideas, the whites has refused to release him, and for your info, HIS I.Q IS ARGUED TO BE GREATER THAN THAT OF EINSTEIN, don't ask me how, i believe you have some thing called Google.
the problem with Nigeria as a country is Leadership, and the problem with Nigerians as citizens is that, we never believe in our selves, we are yet to discover our inner selves, and until we do that, we would still remain in this position. Peace

its not even about what you typed that makes me think the post is very stupid but for the fact that one person in his deluded mind thinks that Nigeria is greatest country bot even saying its a great country. someone just came amd talked about all the good things they think Nigeria possesses but fail to address the life of an average nigerian living in Nigeria. those are the Nigerians that make the country great. Is the standard of livinc comparable to other developed countries? The answer is No. what makes a developed country? Industrialization and that in itself is missing in Nigeria. how can you call a country that cant fix its own economy great? The only time Nigeria had that prospect of being a great nation was in the 70s and early 80s. After that, it has been a downward hill movement ever since then. The only thing we have to our advantage and not using at all is Human Capital. In Africa we have the highest emigration rate and we are not at war. Imagine if we were. So why exactly are we not going to fill up American and British schools with our population. We do not joke with education right from time and even if we dont use it for anything in Life, we always go to school for going sake because we have been brought up as a society to do so.. Nigeria is not the greatest country in the world. either by self-belief or reality. we do not even come close.

It's only a Nigerian that will write a long article for public consumption without making use of "PARAGRAPH"
very difficult for me to read and comprehend!

I love my country Nigeria because I don't have any other country I can call my own..
Yet I'm not proud of my country.
