batiatus:

God gave nigeria abundat resources. I doubt if there is any country wt d can of resources like nig. Every country in d world hv its problem some are natural disaster, war, poverty ours is[b] BAD leadership and this bad leadership is as a result of lust for power and money [/b]

like sey the leaders dropped from Mars
you better register to vote and convince others to also register otherwise be ready to continue whining forever about BAD leaders.
when we register enmasse and they know we will vote and determine their fate they will start taking our needs more seriously. until then let's keep dreaming.

celebrating 50 years of MONUMENTAL FAILURE

We are not where we wanna be but it could have been worse

We should celebrate hope because me I will make my billions($) in this country

Truly I wld luv 2 see oct 1st pass without the elaborate noisemaking I keep hearing n 'seeing' everyday but d only reason I may celebrate is because somehow I'm certain dat due to d rising number of young people who r aware of d probs facing this country, talking abt it and looking at the possibilities of CHANGE, mayb there's still hope for Nigeria. I wld just hold on 2 dat and celebrate even though it's still in d level of 'talk-talk'.

NEPA is very steady, our roads are very good, Education is free for all, dollar dat was 1 to 1N is now 150N to 1, our police dnt take bribe, there's good security no armed robbers, kidnapping is impossible,satan himself wants to be president,Airfare is d cheapest in the world, water flows every where so lets celebrate.yeye celebration.

We have no reason to celebrate at all. Your post should have read 50 reasons why we should not celebrate 50 years of independence.

Happy Independence Nigeria. Happy birthday to the nation. May we prosper in Jehovah and Jesus name.Amen

Who deleted my comment? did it contain any insult? why was it deleted?

Your post should have read 50 reasons why we should not celebrate 50 years of independence.

I was freakin out when readin all your comments, but i decided to keep readin just for readin sake. But i 'broked down' and couldn't read more further when i read these statement from you below:

tensor777:

I for one congratulate all the leaders who have kept the country united and independent for the past 50 years!

Tell you what, I don't think you typed these in your right manners, i guess a white gurl was sittin right next to you and was massagin the HELL out of your prick that took you to fantacy. And i believe you typed these from fantacyland (No offence, just my taught) !!!

tensor777:

From Honeric

Why are some Nigerians so sick in the head? okay if you don't want to celebrate your existence, you can as well be mourning while those who wants to celebrate are allowed to celebrate.
don't forget to put ashes on your head, wear rags too, and you must not eat for the whole of Friday.
pathetic people.

Seconded. Some people here really need psychological assessment! Imagine being upset that people want to celebrate their country's once in a lifetime anniversary??

Sorry bro, there's defference between celebratin 'Existence' and celebratin 'Achievement' !!!

I thank and give all praise, glory and honour to God for keepin me alive. (That's existence)

And when others are celebratin their wealth that they have Achieved (houses, cars, etc), and i have none of those things, then what do you want me to celebrate about? Celebrate all the sufferin i'v been sufferin for yers?

PATHETIC !!!

Funny how you guys hap your a$$ in UK and think those in Nigeria are findin it easy the way you guys do !

tensor777:

Really Madam Tpia can't you be more original than that? There is time for everything. If you want to look miserable on other days that is your own cup of tea.
But certainly friday should be an occasion for joyous celebration!

Yes, friday should be an Occasion day for joyous what? = CELEBRATION. GOOD! What is the celebration all about?

When you invite som1 to come and celebrate with you, won't you tell him/her what you'r celebratin?

U can insult me from now till infinity, but im sorry it has no harm on me b'cos after i finished readin your post below:

tensor777:

Keep freaking out that not everyone shares your doom and gloom attitude about yourself and Nigeria.

I checked my account balance in the bank and it's stil dsame intact amount that was there before !!!

So you can keep advertising your ignorance, maybe fools like you will like to patronise you !!!

tensor777:

Oddly enough I have to say I appreciate your honesty. However we all have to be hopeful and prayerful about Nigeria as being negative never leads one anywhere.
You never know what tomorrow would bring.

Like i said before "e go better" abi tensor?. Nigerians are getting tired of that crap saying. I like you sha, you'd rather go down fighting.

It's not by force to celebrate, like i said before, you can choose to mourn for the whole of the day, no one is stopping you from doing that, just because you don't have a car should not make you stop those who were able to get a car from this same country, you don't even know if i also have a car, but that should not stop me from celebrating and appreciating the fact that this country is still together even with all the bad news and all that.


you have more years to mourn, Friday is just ONE DAY, you can choose to mourn for the whole day or maybe take a sleeping pill for 24hrs OK?

which one would you like to choose? the mourning or the sleeping pill option?

for your information, i am home and have been home, so quit the UK, US shit you are saying, I BET YOU, YOU CAN NEVER BE MORE NIGERIAN THAN ME.

honeric01:

I BET YOU, YOU CAN NEVER BE MORE NIGERIAN THAN ME.

I pray i never am. (more than you i mean)

Ths is one reason why i'm crazy abt u.
Hw far wt that guy?

You can keep the honesty to yourself bro, im not interested !

Im just givin an example that led to the question: What are celebratin?
I can afford a car if i want to. Car is not my problem for now, i gat other important things to do with money!

When last did you expirience power failure? compare the livin standard over there to that of Nigerias,  the roads, the street lights, how the hospital system operates, how their police treate their citizen, how their govt system works. After that, you compare it to Nigerias and see to yourelf the reason why Nigeria is not worth celebratin.

WHY MUST YOU CHASE A RAT WHEN YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE ?.?.? (i hope u understand where am goin)

Other countries are on cause to celebrate b'cos they have achieved ALOT (even ghana). And you'r here sayin Nigeria has every cause to celebrate. Why not celebrate F9 in school, and say after all, u attended school that some people are not opportuned to attend? Have you also asked the poor people if they'll also celebrate or not? Look at you openin an account name here in NL and contributes your opinion to topics everyday (month end, you pay internet fee). Don't you know that there'r those that can't even afford your internet fee in a month for feedin, not to talk of havin a computer?

Have you even asked how much that was budgeted for the so called celebration? That money will be shared amongst themselfs and nobody else. Is the common man goin to have a 'dime' on it? then what is he celebratin with? the Nylon of pure water? why must i celebrate our leaders corruption with my sweat earned money when i know they are not the one that gave me the money, and i have 'NO TAKE' in the govt budgeted money? RUBBISH !!!

I no blame you sha. you dey UK (well organised country) dey write rubbish for Nigerian site that you know not how the citizens are sufferin. and im even here typin the whole pages of the bible for one useless comment!!!

the last time i checked, your profile says "Savannah GA" where in Nigeria is that?

babe, i dey jare, that guy said today again, but not online, waiting for him, can you come on FB? lets talk through FB

What the hell is he talking about? so because i live abroad that makes me less nigerian or that i have lost touch with my roots? think again bro. but l agree you are very nigerian; a typical one for that matter.

^^^^

  You are the confused one here, you live 2,000 miles away and you get fed with negative news about Nigeria on a daily basis, yet you have the gut to say those living under the same "negativity" you watch and listen to all day in US should not celebrate, if we choose to celebrate, fine it's our call, like i said, it's not a force thing, if you don't see anything to celebrate about, why not mourn from now till thy kingdom come?

we have used almost the whole year to whine, mourn and nag, tomorrow's just 1 day to at least appreciate the fact that we call the shots ourselves, be it negative or positive calls, all i know is that it's still Nigerians that call the shots.

One more thing, no one is saying we have arrived, but even in our "miserable" stage, there should be a time to at least appreciate and reflect on the few good things about the country, if you can't appreciate the little you have achieved, you will never appreciate much when they start coming.

My broda,

I wasn't referin to u. I saw that your post initially but refused to reply b'cos everybody with his or her own opinion.
But i did when Tensor seconded it, but you can see i was also referin back to him and not you (check the quote). Moreover, i used mysef as an example in terms of not havin a car and a house. Truely my broda, i don't have a car but i can get one if i wish but that is not my problem for now b'cos i have other things to do with money than buyin a car!
Interms of house, i live and pay my rent of which nobody helps me in doin it niether did i beg anybody for it. Celebratin togetherness is a very joyous ceebration of which i mysef will love to be among. But what is the need of celebratin togetherness when we don't love one aonther? when we can't help one other? when some of us see each other as an OUTCAST (talkin about the leaders)?.?.? Is that how other countries sees themselves?

I choose the mournin option, and i'll keepin mournin Nigeria untill she recovers from her slumber, thanx !!!

^^^^

Good to know you have finally chose an option (the mourning option).

please i would like to know when you are likely to stop mourning, one more thing, those who mourn don't eat, nor drink, i hope you are not eating and drinking? if you do, then you are a big hypocrite.


lastly, if you want a better Nigeria, don't sit on your butt, go out there, register, vote, compel people to go register, vote and make sure they defend their votes.


if we have just 10 fasholas as governors in Nigeria, trust me, this country won't remain this way, whether you like it or not, we need more physical work like the one he's doing, and i pray come 2011, we will at least get 5 of his likes as governors.

my broda

don't even talk about the defendin of their vote. Those bas-tards (our leaders) already knows whom they'll select as president. they just use votin as cover up. Can u imagine a country where you'll waste your time and effort standin on cue to vote for whom you wished for president, after all set and done your vote will not count? Na today?

^^^

That is not true, have you ever voted and defended your vote before?


do you know what voting and defending your vote means?

Even though we have being thrown fifty years behind,we still have to thank God,not celebrating admist fanfare thvough,cos0 we0 are not a war thorn nation,seiraleone,somalia,liberia etc even in our diversity we re still one,irs enough to be thankful for

kudos for the above. let's spread the message far and wide to the extent that even the deaf will hear it and the blind will see it and ACT on it.

we also need legislators who can WORK their fat pays and receive our complaints as their CONSTITUENTS
