Biafrarep:
I understand where you're going but there is no need living in self denial and I will give you instances. If USSR were to be a Black nation, they would have fought a debilitating war and kill millions of people just to ensure that the country never breaks up.However,
it is not just Blacks alone that are like that, the Chinese, Indians, Arabs etc. also behave that way but the Caucasians are not like that, they are the most liberal of all races. They are relatively more selfless and hate to see others suffer even animals!

Maybe they were as bad as other races in the past but they have evolved over the ages and become more humane than any other race. There is nothing like self hating here.

Depends on what you mean by Caucasians.

I will like to know before I can hold you to any kind of argument. Because I totally disagree that any race is more humane than the others.

I have visited about 10 countries on nearly all the continents on Earth. And many natives believe Africans (Nigerians) are extremely nice and accommodating people.

Give your own proof why you think that the foundation was right

One thing with wanting to find fault at anything but yourself is, it blocks intelligence!

Here you have a very positive story which emanates from the very times the foundation was laid and yet it still didn't hit home. You are still blaming the foundation

Do want another example with for instance, your son who was doing well in school but later joined bad gangs

XANDERBOY85:
That figure of 150 billion per year is suspect considering the naira at that point was roughly equla to the dollar. Maybe they meant to say 150 million naira.

The story doesn't draw any tears from me! The elements running Nigeria today are the same ones that ran it back then and ran it aground! The rot wasn't showing that much then because they had just started their ruinous control of power, plus the fact there was plenty of petro-dollars to cover up their mistakes at the time!

even the 1500 destinations is not just extremely suspect but a blatant lie.. I doubt Nigeria Airways had up to 50 destinations at it's peak. Even the mighty Emirates that is the busiest hub in the world has only 145 destinations.

So your own Naira in 1973 was partly equals $1?.... Eiyaaa...... Ask Google

Nigeria's GDP in 1973 was $24B, in 1986 it was $54B. Sometimes people need to use common sense when they see headlines.

Instead of the country to go the path of industrialization that would have made it the China of today, they go the path of corruption and compulsory inefficient western cultures and ideas.

If they want this to come back, they should hand the transport Ministry to Air Peace man MR Allen Onyema....

Where is The tears? no emotion here abeg

This is it now

Golan007:


Does owning oil blocks = looting?

Was Ebitu Ukiwe not 2nd in command under Babangida?

Before then didn't we have Alex Ekueme?

Was Madueke not governor under the same government?

Were Chu Okongwu and Kalu Idika Kalu not our finance ministers when Nigeria Airaays finally balked?

Abeg take your bigotry elsewhere.

The old school failed agreed.

But trying to make it seem it was just dien to a few tribes is totally unacceptable.

Everyone was involved in the destruction of the country.

Imagin How All This New Old People Could Die Out At Once Then We Start Afresh,

Saboteur everywhere...
Everything was sabotage by our leaders.

Nigeria I hail thee

Futuragetty:
I look at the country and I laugh...then weep!
We even have a constitution, written by a few Fulani men...a perfect constitution for a homogeneous Fulani nation...imposed on a subregion of at least 10 nations of 200million People.
How could a Fulani document be meaningful or useful to the
Yoruba, the Igbo o,r any other save the Fulani? Yet, we validate that sectional document with our votes then hope that Nigeria would be better? Seriously
Whatever we do, however hard we pray, no matter the number of elections, no matter how hard we try, unless that stupid thing called constitution is burnt down, Nigeria would NEVER progress!As long as that document subsists, Nigeria shall continue to wallow in tears and misery. No messiah could save Nigeria with that nonsense called constitution!
Nigeria is a criminal tragedy!
...and shall disintegrate spectacularly unless t999
constitution wewasirst destroyed!
Call this whatever you like but it happens to be the truth! 60yrs of domination and all you could boast of is a country in ruins? Talk of stupid...you see the Caliphate! This is Nigeria, the Land of the Absurd!

You seems to know a lot about the Nigerian constitution sir, can you please be kind enough to quote a section of the constitution that gives the Fulani tribe advantage over over ethnic groups?

GOFRONT:
These ones are now Grandmothers

some Don even die sef

Nigeria will rise again. This will be our story very soon.

What do expect when you have leaders of yesterday as today 's leaders.

uuzba:

We spent all our money importing goods instead of building up industries and exporting goods.
The petrol we have, we refused to learn how to refine it. We export the crude oil. Oyibo will refine it, then we buy it back at the price that Oyibo says we should buy it ..
Our own oil again!?
Now all the planes have spoilt, and there's no industries to repair it. No money to even call Oyibo to come and repair it. Shey we allowed them to be dictating price for us...
Mumuness of the highest order
Now all the graduates and jobless and directionless. Kidnaping each other to make money for buy phone.

u are very correct. This is sad.

Good leadership will come my people and we would get out of the mess.

Keep Calm

And we now have other countries of the world cashing out against our faulty foundation.

More than 20 airlines land at MMA almost every day and we expect the naira to be stable against the dollar. We just have think out of the box

sarrki:
Nigeria hostess in 1973, Nigeria leaders are among the best in the world. They have turned Nigeria airways to a super intercontinental carrier with 1500 destination across the globe, generating 150 billion naira yearly and providing jobs to 10,000 Nigerians, Kenya and Ethiopia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates have indicated interest in learning the magic industrious Nigerians, now the towering pride of the black world.

There is nothing they will tell me, I just hope they have not sold our birth right?

Until when those in leadership can stick their neck out to be transparent, accountable , faithful to the allegiance made when they got mantle.

Otherwise, it's simply a vicious cycle that will cast us out as a nation.

skippypo:


Sentiment will kill you. You forgot to mention the origin of the demise of Nigeria Airways with Shehu Shagari and Buhari in Power. The airways was doing well when Obasanjo was in power till 1979.
The introduction of International Monetary Fund policies, along with corruption,mismanagement and overstaffing, led to a steady decline of Nigeria Airways from the 1980s. The carrier had accumulated significant debts that outstripped its revenues from the mid-1980s, to the extent that aircraft were detained or impounded for unpaid debts.

I am only following the philosophy of you wailers. Didn't you people said we shouldn't blame the Jonathan government for anything? Same way Obasanjo and saint Atiku shouldn't blame anyone, they should have save the airline from finally dying on their watch!!!
