You and your likes are the reason Nigeria is in mess. As you have been accustomed to live like animals others are not. Appreciate darkness, rotten hospitals, bad roads? And your incompetent leaders who have been looting the country dry abi? Any day you step that filthy legs out of Nigeria to Namibia or South Africa you will curse all Nigerian leaders from, from Lord Frederick Lugard to President Mohammadu Buhari.

I won't bring myself down to roll in the mud with a pig like you. Keep crying about the negative aspects of Nigeria while kids younger than you keep doing well.

Use you goddamn brain. What the HELL is wrong with you people? Did you not go to school? Why are you mentioning Qatar and UAE?

Qatar's population is 2.7 million. They export 1.6 million barrels a day.

Nigeria's population is 200 million. We export 1.7 million barrels a day.

Yet you expect Nigerians to be as rich and developed as Qatar.

I mean, simple basic mathematics is seemingly beyond you in your haste to condemn your nation.

NIGERIA IS NOT A RICH COUNTRY.

GET THAT BASIC FACT INTO YOUR THICK SKULLS.

Even without corruption we would still be in a massive struggle towards development.

Our primary mission is DIVERSIFICATION away from oil and gas, in order to raise our national earnings enough to complete infrastructure and other projects.

Our current 35 billion dollar annual budget is a pittance for our huge population.

And NO, ''all the money stolen from 1960'' is less than 600 billion USD or so, and CANNOT ''transform Nigeria to UAE''. That is the thinking if an ILLITERATE.

The UK's ANNUAL budget is 1.2 TRILLION dollars. That is double the amount supposedly stolen by Nigerian leaders since 1960.

Yet with that huge annual budget, the UK has not turned to Dubai or Qatar. There are still thousands of homeless people on the streets of London.. Millions are in poverty and debt, and many there still haven't got enough to eat.

But somehow the 600 billion ''Nigerian leaders stole since 1960'' is enough to transform the whole Nigeria into Paradise on Earth.

I don't actually think you people know exactly what kind of money it takes to become a developed nation.

You are completely clueless.

You think this TINY money we make from oil is enough to transform Nigeria ''if only govt officials were not corrupt''. That is the HEIGHT of self-deception and delusion. You hear ''billion'' and your head scatters. The USA's annual budget is 6.8 TRILLION dollars.. China's is 3.8 TRILLION dollars. Germany, 1.6 TRILLION. France 1.3 TRILLION . On and on it goes.

Our Number ONE priority is to DIVERSIFY. And raise our national income. It is FAR more important than ending corruption. If Nigeria diversifies sufficiently to declare say a 200 billion dollar annual budget, as opposed to the current 35 billion, it would change the life of every Nigerian for the better, with or without corruption.

Diversification is what we need.

Stop comparing yourselves to America, UK, Qatar etc.

Their annual budgets will make you RUN in fear.

Here is a list of nations by annual budget. See where Nigeria sits. THAT is why we are underdeveloped. We simply do not make enough money as a country.

It is GROSSLY UNFAIR to compare Nigeria to South Africa or even Namibia.

Do you actually know the HISTORY of those countries in terms of modern development?

Do you have any clue when South Africa began to build up her infrastructure?

In the 1820s!!!

Do you know when NIGERIA began to build her infrastructure?

In the 1960s! After independence.

The ONLY reason South Africa is the most developed region of Africa today is that they had a 140 year head-start on the rest of black Africa.

How so?

Well, the colonialists who seized the country in the early 19th century simply used a substantial percentage (maybe 50%) of the export earnings to develop the country over time. Why? They saw it as their country, as it was a magnet for European settlement due to the temperate weather. So they didn't loot all the money and ship to Europe (just half).

So South Africa built her first power stations in the 1800s. Her first universities in the 1820s. (University of Cape Town was established in 1829). Her first engineering institutes in the 1800s etc etc.

Nigeria? Our first power plant, Kainji Dam, was commissioned in 1964 by the Balewa administration.

Our first university, Ibadan, was established in 1962. Prior to that it was a mere satellite college of some UK institution.

Look, by the 1940s, South Africa was more or less a developed nation. Nigeria was just a big bush in comparison. A place with naked children and illiterate, malnourished peasants. A colonially looted territory left with nothing at independence, and near-zero infrastructure. Our annual export earnings from cocoa, timber, palm oil, groundnuts, tin, rubber etc, all went to London - at least 95%, year in year out from 1897 to 1960. Similar thing happened in other black African colonial territories. Mass looting by colonialists.

THAT is your history. So to be COMPARING Nigeria, which is just a NEWCOMER in development, to South Africa or Namibia (smaller but with an identical developmental history to SA) is grossly irresponsible.

It's like you have a race, and the guy next to you is allowed to start 50 metres ahead of you. You then look at the race 5 minutes later and the guy is in front, with you panting and sweating behind, chasing him, and you're condemning yourself for letting him pass you! ...Which is delusional. Because you've not bothered to study the history of the race.

Today, owing to diversification of her economy over the centuries, away from gold exports, into areas like manufacturing and advanced agriculture, South Africa has an annual budget of 125 billion dollars.

Nigeria, still in the early stages of diversification from oil and gas, only has an annual budget of 35 billion dollars, courtesy of oil earnings mostly. We are where South Africa was maybe 100 years ago when they were looking to diversify from gold, with the income from that mineral increasingly insufficient to run their economy. Nigeria WILL catch up with South Africa eventually. But it will take several decades still.

Do you know when dubai begins to build up her infrastructure? Do you know when south Korea begins to build up her infrastructure? You are mentally backward. With stupid illiterate slaves like you, that monkey Republic will never progress. Tuah.

If you consider yourself a monkey, leave us our of your complex.

You clearly lack a working brain, otherwise you would not be calling ''Dubai'' in the same breath as Nigeria.

UAE in which Dubai is, has THREE TIMES Nigeria's oil reserves, and exports DOUBLE the number of barrels Nigeria does per day.

And her population is 9 million.

What will they do with all that money apart from create a paradise in their tiny country?

If you give all of Nigeria's annual earnings from oil and gas to Ikeja Local Govt for the next 10 years, do you think you will be able to recognise the place if you visit it in 2030?

The Arab gulf leaders are mega rich oil sheikhs who transfer billions to their accounts every month. Go to London and Paris. They own the biggest mansions there by a mile. But because they make so much money from oil, there is more than enough to keep their tiny populations well-fed and even rich.

South Korea? What do you know about the history of South Korea? No need to answer. You know nothing about their history. All you see is their wealth and development, and that tells your simple mind, ''they're superior to me!''

But the truth is that South Korea, like the two or three other 'Asian Tigers', were deliberately funded and supported by the victorious western allies after WW2 to make them strong capitalist outposts in Asia that could checkmate Soviet communist drives in the Pacific region. They could not afford for every country there to be like communist North Korea, China, etc, and so they threw billons into selected economies there, such as South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan, through massive foreign investment and transfer of technology, and granted them unprecedented access to western markets for their finished products - something never granted any African country. This transformed those chosen countries in 30 years, to developed nations.

The clearest evidence that their rapid growth was artificially created is a cursory look at their neighbours and brothers (by race) - Cambodia, Nepal, Mongolia, Burma, Laos etc. These are countries whose development levels fall even below African standards. THAT is what South Korea and other ''tiger economies'' would have looked like without that western intervention after WW2.

So by saying stuff like, ''Why can't we be like South Korea?''.... ''Look at Singapore!''... ''Look at UAE!'' you are simply displaying your crass ignorance of the world you inhabit.

Your rotten lips like ''stupidity and failure''. I guess all 80% of the world which comprise developing nations like Nigeria, are all ''stupid, failed states'' in your undeveloped, 2 year old mind.

Let me just remind you who YOU are, you pampered ingrate.

You are barely a generation removed from illiterate village African peasants under colonial subjugation.

Your direct forbears were virtually SLAVES in this country, with near zero education, zero infrastructure, zero everything.

As recently as the 1950s, your national soccer team visited England to play some games. They insisted on playing BAREFOOTED, because they were not used to football boots, courtesy of British misrule.

Majority of children, including your grandparents, ran around naked with no shoes. Malnutrition was the norm. Cars were only for the super rich.

Electricity was non-existent. Not even for ''5 hours''.

There were no power plants in Nigeria until 1964, when Kainji Dam was commissioned by the Balewa administration. The British simply imported huge industrial generators to power areas their officials lived in - the 'GRAs' of today. The rest of Nigeria was on lantern and candle, 24/7, 365.

Universities were non-existent. Primary and secondary schools were only for a select few.

Illiteracy was 95% at independence. That number has fallen to 24% today, courtesy of our ''stupid failed leaders'' who invested massively in free education after independence, building thousands of primary and secondary schools, and universities across the nation.

Today, you can get up and decide to get a visa and leave Nigeria to work in America or Germany, or Austria, or China, or Japan, based on that education you got in post-independence Nigeria.

Did your grandparents have that option in their village farms under colonialism? Did they know what 'visa' meant or where 'America' was, much less what they would do if they got there?

Do you know that before independence you could not drive to most villages in Nigeria?

In the unlikely situation that you actually owned a car, you could not drive to your village, because no road led to your village.

Instead, you would drive from wherever and then stop at the nearest road to your village, and then use footpaths to walk there. Depending on the distance, it could be half a day's walk.

Or three days.

Or five days.

Today, courtesy of our ''stupid failed leaders'' you can drive to the most remote hamlet in Nigeria on a motorable road, tarred or otherwise.

You've NO IDEA HOW GOOD YOU HAVE IT.

You can sit in your bedroom today and start a full-fledged business using only your smartphone.

What would your illiterate forbears barely a generation ago have done with a smartphone if they saw one?

They would have broken it up and used it for cutlery.

YOU are a pampered INGRATE who has 100 times more than his immediate peasant village forebears ever did, courtesy of Nigerian independence, yet all you see is ''failure''. With your attitude, you deserve no further successes in my view.

You don't love Nigeria more than I do or any of the critics, just that I want Nigeria to be like other nations that are doing fine. I left Nigeria and I discovered that the country I'm living their citizens don't shout up NEPA! because there is never a time their " NEPA" will take light, their citizens don't fetch water because water goes through every household, their leaders don't go to overseas for medical treatment because they have good hospitals, etc. These are the reasons why I have different opinion from you. I want Nigerians to enjoy like other citizens of other nations.
You should ask yourself whether Nigeria is a failed nation or not. Your answer will determine how you see Nigeria. The only part of Nigeria that didn't fail is the citizens. They are the one providing for their security, electricity, drilling borehole for water, etc. But that's not how a country should be that is why we are speaking up to let most Nigerians know that they deserve the best.
This covid-19 pandemic, though, it's catastrophic, but it can be a blessing in disguise if Nigeria use the opportunity it presents. It has taught Nigerian leaders that there is no place like home. Should this covid-19 only happened in Nigeria all of them would have jet out to overseas where they made their first home. But unfortunately for them it's global. If after this pandemic Nigerian leaders didn't come together and plan how to fix Nigeria I don't think that there will be a time Nigeria can be fixed unless under restructuring or break up.
So, my friend. We all cannot see through the same prism. You love Nigeria because you live in Nigeria I also love Nigeria because I believe that there is no place like home, despite all the basic amenities over here yet, you will not have right to certain things unlike the citizens.

Someone needs to take a pampered little twit like you to a REAL ''failed state''.

You will not last 30 minutes there before BEGGING to be returned to Nigeria.

Was that not how your fellow self-hating, ignorant dullards ended up as slaves in Libya?

They fled Nigeria, the ''failed state'' where they somehow could garner thousands of dollars to travel abroad, and passed through ''successful state'' LIBYA, a war-torn hell hole, which as they were leaving Nigeria they MUST have thought, ''aah, Libya is far better than Nigeria!''

They arrived Libya, and were immediately bundled to a slave market, where they were sold to local Libyans to work as house slaves.

Till TODAY, there are Nigerians in slavery in Libya, COURTESY OF YOUR DUMB MENTALITY OF SELF HATE.

Eventually, hundreds of Nigerian slaves appealed to the ''failed state'' Nigerian govt to come and save them from the ''successful state'' Libya, by sending planes to evacuate them back to the ''failed state'' Nigeria.

On arrival at the airport, Nigerian TV captured their testimonies of torture, racism, hunger, starvation, and brutal treatment from Libyan slave owners and Libyan police.

One man said he had abandoned his thriving business in Nigeria to make that desert trek across the Sahara to Libya. He was enslaved there for 3 years and kept incommunicado. He was fed food meant for dogs. Not fed actually. They threw it on the floor for him to pick.

He regretted his mistake, he said. He said if he had remained in Nigeria, his business would have expanded seriously by now. He was in tears. He said that following his repatriation home by Nigerian planes, he finally could see that NIGERIA was a true African giant, and he was proud to be a Nigerian, and more than glad to be back. ''No place like home'', he said.

ALL the other returnees expressed the same sentiments, many with harrowing stories of brutal treatment by Libyans.

One day, YOU will learn their lesson.


Update: AS WE SPEAK, RIGHT NOW, Nigerians in America, China, UK etc are appealing to the ''failed state'' to send planes to their ''successful nations'' to rescue them and return them home to Nigeria, as the 'scamdemic' rages in those parts of the world, and disrupts their societies, shattering their economies in an unprecedented manner, and turning them into police states.

So far, the Nigerian government has evacuated 1,000 Nigerians from the USA in the last couple of weeks, with thousands more Nigerians BEGGING the FG to send more planes to repatriate them back to the ''failed shithole'', Nigeria.

https://nairametrics.com/2020/07/18/more-nigerians-depart-us-for-nigeria-3-denied-boarding/

As the years roll on, and the west's decline accelerates, MORE Nigerians will be begging to be sent back home to the ''failed state'', from the ''successful, brilliant states''.

The clock is ticking.
