Any Nigerian that has stepped out, even up to the mid 80s, compared to now must wonder how much we have fallen.

We never said a word about ourselves. Our characters spoke for us. We almost got red carpet wherever we went.

Today, despite our degrees, money, expensive cars, high positions and humogous houses, they want us out of their Countries.

The immorality and empty vessels started from home and we exported it outside. Those who could check the conspicuous spenders joined them. Parents lost control while others abdicated their responsibilities.

How has the Mighty Fallen!

There was never a time when Nigeria was a mighty great nation and/or a respected one...

It's been a mediocre nation since the 1960s and never improved.

Meanwhile Bubril is not helping matters at all!
Election rigging and other bias nonsense this All Pandemic Congress government is doing is also not helping matters.
Killers are called bandits
Unarmed people are called terrorists
The international community dey see am so how do you want respect?
You sideline your best and use dinosaurs
Those who you love to hate are winning big outside your shores
How do you want respect?

Which movie did you watch to see Nigeria commanding respects?

Methink, we lost every dorm of respect the moment we took the first loan from IMF and World Bank with them knowing fully well that our oil reserves could make every little Nigerian a millionaire.

Pity.

Nigeria is so messed up, some of you cannot remember a potential regional power that lived as the giant of Africa.

It now sounds like a joke after looters and their children brought the Country to its knees with macabre dance

It now sounds like a history lessons that Nigeria emerged from Independence as a potential Regional Power sending funds, skills and teachers to other countries.

President of the World Court, World Criminal Court, Soldiers to Congo, Liberia and Freedom Fighters to Southern part of Africa.

Refuge for Africans for any reason.

Oh well, ancient history for a country that cannot help itself but rely on foreign loans, foreign jobs, foreign travels, escape to Ghana, South Africa, Libya, America, Eastern and Western Europe. The same country that paid salaries of workers in the Caribbean countries. Now anywhere but home for Nigerians that could not wait to get back home.

Lord Thomas McCauley was right in 1835 that Africa and India have higher moral values and can only be conquered by exchanging their culture, language and religion for those of English.

It would be passed on from fathers and mothers to children and grandchildren to the next generation.

Some saw this coming when used clothes, goods, food and garbarge became the norm.

Ancient history, eh!
