You're comparing the state capital with Lagos? Why don't you compare Cotonou with our very own Abuja?
Have you been to other parts of Benin Republic? most of you self haters are really helpless.

Dtribeless:


This is blatantly untrue. Southern Nigeria governments are not better than their Northern counterparts. It's only the style of Islam practiced in the North that makes the difference: it turns it's back to the outside world, whereas in the South western-style living is not frowned upon so Southerners can better adapt overseas and send money earned from human capital to buoy the Southern economy, and also bring a lot of knowledge from their foreign exposure.

Iceberg3:


Ok then let the backward people saying no to restructuring regionalism resource control and true federalism back pedal....let's start from there.

Iceberg3:


If you ain't a pure mallam,you would know you just butressed the op's point by saying someone mustn't compare Cotonou with Lagos cos Cotonou is the capital of Benin republic and Lagos is just a city!!!!

More like saying the capital of Niger republic is more beautiful than Lagos and also the city of Capetown in south Africa cos Capetown ain't the capital of SA.

So much for mallam mentality.

Dtribeless:


I agree to some sort of regionalism (a confederation to be precise); however, I'm not deceived by thinking Southern leaders are better. They are equally shambolic.

adamx23:

Keep self hating!

Iceberg3:


Mallam,so you believe you made sense by saying Cotonou should be better than a whole Lagos,a former capital city, simply cos Cotonou is the country capital and Lagos is not!!!!!!!!!

Chai!!!!!

Dont be offended o,but At times,do endeavour to read between lines,thanks

Don't mind him. In fact the self-hater gave an example that amplifies how the dude hates himself. When Vybz Kartel was a raga and dancehall star, shortly after Buju, Shaba and dem man, African music was nothing. Nada.

We all used to listen to hip-hop, rap, raga etal back then. Now, because of Nigerian superstars like Wizkid, Davido, Burna boy etal African music has relegated raga to dust today. African pop music has transcended borders, continent and color because of the special talent of Nigerians.

The OP cannot acknowledge that. All he wants to do is savage Nigeria and Nigerians. Him and others will talk of running away from African forums because they are attacking the reputation of Nigerians. How about using commonsense to know it is mainly out of envy for the talent, intellect, swag and unapologetic charisma of Nigerians?

If I enter those forums I will drop all those haters with e-blows. No one can ever make me ashamed of my Country or apologize for my Nigerian origin. In fact the success of our music shows what happen when we believe in ourselves and rep our own origin, language, individuality and way of life.

Let's not forget some of our stars made many great international hits that were not even in English like gongo aso etal. How far did the likes of Ikechuckwu and Naeto C get trying to rap like the Americans? Yet our stars busting Naija swag conquered the world. God punish all self-haters. Proudly Naija anytime, any day.

Just last night I was doing some research on Africa countries I was shocked when I researched Nigeria as one of the worst country to to live in. I shame no be small.

festacman:
Nigeria is bad, Nigeria is bad but you are still here.

OP why not get a visa to Jamaica and go live there or if you can't get visa to anywhere, take 'sniper visa' and depart Nigeria in grand style.

You can criticize things but stop badmouthing my country.

So much for mallam mentality.

Grayoso:


Bruv change nationality asap. You are irritating. What do you know about Jamaica or Ghana? Can both talk where Nigerian academics and professionals are talking in the USA or UK? Dude you are a self-hater, even as you don't know it, and lack exposure.

It would take too long to educate you and re-orientated your brainwashed mind.

Wizkid dusted Vybz kartel, a dance hall legend from a time African music had no direction or superstars like Wizkid, and you don't even know the significance of that and what it indicates about how Naija music is rewriting the script for Africa and the World.

If we could vote some out of Nigerian citizenship I would vote your kind 24/7 without hesitation because you are clearly ashamed of yourself and only wish to see the bad about Nigerians while you ignorantly place all others on undeserved pedestals.

Austine1213:


Capetown is actually capital of SA

SA got 3 capitals Capetown, Pretoria and Bloemfontein

Grayoso:



Do you know Jamaica and Ghana first hand? I do and you cannot compare them to Nigeria. The same Ghana where only Accra and Kumasi are fairly developed with virtually everywhere else sedentary and sleepy villages? Jamaica with a total population of around 3 million people and a size of 4244 square miles? Nigeria with over 200 million people and size of 356, 669 square mile? Seriously madam?

America has Ghettos, crime, corruption, relatively poor infrastructure, poverty and deprivation Iceland and Sweden do not have. Does that make those nation greater than the USA?

Population, urban density etal present challenges even the best nations struggle to overcome.

There is a lot great about Nigeria. Your talk of Nigerian leaving in droves is factually incorrect as relocation of diasporans back to Nigeria is now higher than ever. The same Nigeria you rush to leave the Lebanese, Indians and Chinese move to daily to take advantages of opportunities you cannot even identify let alone be able develop into personal success your beloved Canada can never offer.

Each to their own. Enjoy your life in Canada but don't try and justify your personal choice as superior or indication you are better off than others.

Use the link to read the article below objectively, as I only quote excerpts, about a group I am proudly and happily part of and stop peddling your negative and personalized narrative as everyone's reality.

Many exposed Nigerians don't buy what you are selling and in fact the article below could have been written by myself and many, many Nigerians who, despite good success in the diaspora, now feel completely fulfilled in Nigeria, professionally and personally, because we are thinkers outside the box not motivated by money alone.

The Role of the African Diaspora in Moving Africa Forward

TheGodlessGod:
Two days ago when there was a battle between Wizkid and a famous Jamaican musician, the battle got heated because Wizkid won and they started throwing insults on nigerians and nigeria..

I didn't really know much about the country so I checked their poverty, education, health and GDP per capital and they are very very much better than nigeria..

Their crime rate is low, no terrorist groups in their country and no under age marriage either..

They've good tourism even if their GDP was low even lower than lagos but they had a higher standard of living better than nigerians.

It made me so ashamed to be called a Nigerian,decades past nigeria was so much better than what we've now.

Nigeria now can't even compete with Jamaica or Ghana, they laugh and mock our power, road and health sectors, the only thing nigerians can boost of his population even when most of them lives in poverty.

TheGodlessGod:
Let me also add that there citizens aren't known for bad things outside their country..

Unlike nigerians that every single country want us out, south Africa, Ghana are complaining of us running their country.

There's even an internet scam named after nigerians.

snitchbitch:
Only me, only me syndrome is what is killing us. Me and my family, me and my family, nothing concerns us about the man next door whether he has eaten or he is hungry. May be he is dead or still alive.

Covid 19: many have died, while many are using the opportunity to steal. Nobody will come from heaven or another country to fix Nigeria for us. We have to fix it for ourselves. God will not do for man what man supposed to do for himself.

Thank you,my mistake,I should have used new York then,since Washington DC is the capital of the States.
So Cotonou is more beautiful than New York,huh?
Oya, Voltron,defend the universe.

Of course, you nah, since you are Voltron defender of the universe by putting aside the big picture

BigIyanga:

Ignorant folks who have not crossed Seme border ranting as usual. Poorest Parish.. LGA in Jamaica still has running water being provided by their water corporation. There is 24/7 electricity and their emergency services like police, fire and health are working. You can drive from Montego Bay to St Ann to St Clarendon to Kingston without seeing police check points and pot holes on the road. You cannot buy a sim car with TIN (Tax Identification Number) Nigerians have normalized bad living conditions and think that everbdy lives like us. Jamaicans dont know how their water and electrricity are supplied in unlike in Naija where super rich folks in Bourdillon Ikoyi still supply their water and electricity.

TheGodlessGod:
what did they say?? Because I've my own stories to tell and it's not good
