thebosstrevor1: Williams also collects corrupt men money in Abuja.
Pot is calling kettle black.
In as much everyone claim to hate corruption but when it is dark the same haters of corruption, will also be the first to collect corrupt men money when no one is looking.
when corruption works for u it’s connection it becomes corruption if it works against u.. story our lives
may I go sleep. It's the way the WHITES treated the BLACKS badly over time. It makes them HATE others. That places is very bad. It's waiting to explode. think of 40 million HUNGRY BLACKS waiting to pounce on the next FOREIGN BLACK. eyamma!
its like FLOGGING an elephant or TIGER everyday, e go turn on the TRAINER one day!
frog12: that's why! you go after their WOMEN! SINCE the women want successful strong BLACK NIGERIANS!!! YOU COME TO their house, and want to steal their wives and dance with them in their face again. and they say NEVER!! they don open EYES. they don get FREEDOM. nobody come take am away again!
Nigeria is in the mess it is in for the following reasons:
1. Nigeria was artificially put together by the european without any regards for the indigenous people's differences in culture, language, cultural values, religious beliefs, mindset, etc.
2. The people who inhabit Nigeria today never asked to share a country together. This was imposed on them by the european colonialists. As a result, we have a whole bunch of people who have little or nothing in common with each other culturally speaking, having to share a country together that they never agreed to.
Can you imagine throwing the Germans, the french, the polish, the russians, the romanians, the Irish, the norwegians, the portuguese and the spaniards together and forcing them all to share one country? What do you think would have happened? Especially, when the aforementioned groups never agreed to such an arrangement?
Well, that is what was done to we Nigerians and other African nationals. Until we as a people understand the damaging effects colonialism has had on us as a people, we will keep running around in circles.
The white man knew exactly what he was doing when he forced different African ethnicities who are not culturally, linguistically or otherwise compatible with each other to share a country together. We were set up to fail from the start. Think am lying? Why does it make europeans and their descendants nervous when Africans talk about wanting an ethnically monotonous nation? Like say, a nation of all Yorubas or Igbos or Madinkas, or Luos, or Ashanti, or Akan or Zulus or Hausas? Because they know that once a group of people who culturally and otherwise have a lot in common unite towards a common vision and goal, they will be unstoppable and the rise of the African race will be the demise of the european race. Why does europe supply weapons to African leaders to use against African ethnic groups wishing to breakaway and form their own nation? Think about it.
The problem is, many of you were never taught history in school or even in the home, and you would rather spend all your leisure time on social media rather than read and educate yourselves about your historical past.
This is the reason why many of you suffer from an identity crisis, a lack of knowing thyself, a lack of self esteem, not knowing your self worth and looking up to another race of people for love and acceptance. The same group of people who enslaved you, colonized you, have hated you from day one and continue to hate you. The same group of people who instruct your corrupt leaders to oppress you.
As a group, Africans lack a sense of direction, be it the ones on the Continent of Africa or the ones in the diaspora. If you are waiting for the same people who enslaved and colonized you to come and solve your myriads of problems, then I am afraid, you will be waiting forever.
Once upon a time, Africans were a great people. We had different empires and invented great things. But then, the europeans arrived, and told us our way of doing things is primitive. The european gave us his names, forced his culture and language on us and stripped us from whom we are or were as a people.
Notice, that if Asian countries like Japan or even China had allowed colonialists to do to them what they did to we Africans, those nations will not be where they are today. When will Africans wake up? The solutions to our problems lie in our hands. Stop waiting for the caucasian to save you.
3. The lackadaisical attitude of Nigerians. As a people, we have sat and watched a small yet powerful set of Nigerians in positions of influence, affluence and authority run the country to the ground. We sit there and say stupid things like "It is well," "God will help us," and so on forgetting that God helps those who make an attempt to help themselves.
God has blessed Nigeria with fertile soil, good weather, a large population, mineral resources, no hurricanes, earthquakes, wild fires or other natural disasters, etc. So what more do Nigerians want? Yet, due to our unnecessary and misplaced hate for one another, we can't even use what God gave us to make something out of our nation and improve the lives of the citizens.
Nigerians will kiss the feet of the chinese, lebanese, indian and white man while simultaneously treating everyone who is a black African with disdain. It's shameful. Do you think a german in germany will treat another german with disdain while elevating you an African on their own soil? It can never happen but that is the crap that goes on in Nigeria and one of the many reasons why people like me left Nigeria and have no intentions of returning.
Nigeria is the only country I have lived in where you turn on the radio and the people speaking on the radio airwaves are speaking with an American accent, British accent, sometimes a mixture of both, but hardly with the accent of the land, the Nigerian accent. Self hatred runs deep amongst most Nigerians and I had no choice but to separate myself from such group of people. Is it any wonder why Nigeria is a mess?
switzerland is french, german and italian people together, and they PROGRESS

Tribalism and fulani brand of islamic religion destroyed nigeria this country will never develop like south africa in a million years until it is either restructured or divided.
Development is independent of these points. All these can be said of many countries that are far advanced than Nigeria. Nigeria is among of the most underdeveloped countries and is the world capital of poverty. Per capita income is low. There are no excuses. We know the problems and we need to fix them.

And the saddest part of all these us that most of the electorate and the devils they elect are either too corrupt to foresee these danger. They only live for now and the next election
Well said, but easier said than done. Left to me a coup in Nigeria is not a bad idea. Nigeria can't get much worse with a coup than it currently is.
Bro don't say so.What does the military have to offer nigeria?They are far more corrupt,nepotistic,selfish than the civilian.The military laid the foundation of our current struggle.
The difference between Nigeria and SA is that the white men left our country.
We weren't able to maintain any because No Country run by black people can progress this is just the painful truth. Our illogical greed will always inhibit our growth ... SA was built by the white and is still run the whites... They own the lands and all the juicy jobs, they run the mines, the wineries, they run everything including tourism...
Give credits the black south Africans too, it's just unfair to attribute all success to the whites, after the black government took over, they improved on so many areas, expanded cities, built good roads etc.
And what do you mean by no country run by black can progress? Some of these southern African countries are fairing well, with the right people in leadership, even Nigeria will do exceedingly better.

Where can we trace those he collected money from in Abuja? Because you sound so sure.
African ancestors were the best in environmental management so don't ever say "We lack environmental management in this part of the world"... is it not the same e:uropeans that shame Africans for living in what e:uropeans called bushes when in reality Africans were living in gardens and farms..
This is backward thinking bruv, we are way beyond that african ancestors gibberish. This is is the 21st century with modern approach to landscaping and all that never existed in our clime.
Let's stop living in denial and embrace science and technology else Africa especially Nigeria is going no where.
RuudVanNisteroy: Popular Nigerian actor, Williams Uchemba, who recently got married and is taking a vacation in South Africa has taken to his verified Instagram account to state that he is sad and depressed due to the current poor state of Nigeria which stems from corruption.
[b]He said,
“I woke up really sad and depressed over the state of Nigeria and I’m almost tearing up typing this. Now, I’ve lived in the western world in the past, both in the UK and US, and when I ask this question I justify my depression with [color=#990000]‘well it’s a white man’s country that’s why they are ahead’ but why I’m really angry in this case is that we are talking about the same continent.”
Comparing Nigeria to South Africa, the actor and social media comedian queried why a Nigerian would need a visa to travel to South Africa despite the fact that Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa.
He noted that when a person one visits South Africa ‘you can’t tell if you are still in Africa or Europe.’
“Do you know that Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $398 billion compared to SA which is the second-largest at $368 billion? Yet Nigeria needs to apply for a visa to travel to South Africa. I am 3,500 feet above sea level and I’m looking at an African nation that built their country with their own natural resources, a country where you can’t tell if you are still in Africa or Europe because of its immense development despite the corruption in the country.
“A country where their primary source of income comes from mining and industry. Tourism alone rakes in ZAR 130billion which is about $8.8billion for the country. In 2016 alone 16 million tourists visited SA and that number has steadily increased since then. 16 million guys and tourism only adds 2.8% to their GDP. Even with the corruption in their country the leaders are still steadily growing their industries and sectors,” he wrote.
In his gloomy state, he further pondered what the root cause problem of Nigeria could be. “You might not understand how Nigerians are suffering until you travel to other advanced countries then come back home and see how Nigerians have been deprived of basic life amenities of life.
“So I ask, apart from bad leadership structure and lack of vision, what do you think is our problem as a nation? Do you think we got independence way too early? Do you think that the democratic system of government is working in Nigeria and for Nigerians? There is corruption in other countries, why is Nigeria’s corruption so different and profound that even corrupt nations call us corrupt?? What do you think is the issue with Nigeria?”
I really cannot judge your retentive memory. The Republic of South Africa was until recently an European founded and managed country. Africans cannot think successfully to commit suicide.
frog12: switzerland is french, german and italian people together, and they PROGRESS
Don't mind ignorant folks jare, our major problem especially on Nigeria is that no one minds their business but always wanting to interfere in other men's matters. If all ethnicities in Nigeria can be allowed to govern themselves properly and not some folks wanting to determine how others should live their lives, we will grow. In a place like switzerland those ethnicities do not unnecessarily interfere in each other matters same with the UK, where scotland, northern Ireland and wales still govern themselves differently but are still together as UK.
There's too much interference in nigerian ethnicities reason for all the fights and tension among the different tribes leading to lack of trust.

If you work in Zenith Bank/Access Bank and you work in Standard Chartered, only you will come and tell me the difference in terms of governance and mindset.
Covenant and Bowen compared to University of Pretoria?
Of all the food places mentioned, not sure anyone is really thriving. They have all gone down from their heights 10years ago. Partly economy ,but partly management.
As 'good' as some of our private schools are, let your kids school abroad for 3 years and you will likely see a big difference in confidence and extra curricular capabilities.
Dangote is only surviving because he brought in Indian COO. That was the smartest thing he ever did. If he had put his children there ,it would have been the endbof his business, particularly after him.
faste: Bro don't say so.What does the military have to offer nigeria?They are far more corrupt,nepotistic,selfish than the civilian.The military laid the foundation of our current struggle.
My comment is because politicians have also not offered Nigeria anything. Nigeria is really tiring and depressing.
I really cannot judge your retentive memory. The Republic of South Africa was until recently an European founded and managed country. Africans cannot think successfully to commit suicide.
Blacks have been ruling since 1994, give them some credit for maintaining and building up on what the former leaders of European background left for them.
So many developments after 1994 such as intercity C-train system was built after apartheid.

60 years of disappointment makes one give up Nigerians can ever find a great leader.
The only solution is division, Nigeria is so disvered to every work
ednut1: he did not clear the air immediately it went viral. He is still a fraud. Claiming what he is not for monetary gains
Even the journalist who accused him of the UN ambassador scam later apologized. Someone made use of his name and pictures to scam people on twitter, that was what happened... Many celebrities have been victims of such things in the past
Yeah there is corruption everywhere but in other countries the people in government put good infrastructures and policies in place to cover up for their corruption but in Nigeria the oga nla of corruption our leaders don't really care about their reputation or legacy , so all they do is build very low quality infrastructure and policies that would only last while they are in office that's why you see most government buildings built over 30 years ago still standing but buildings built just 5 years ago are already crumbling. Besides this , since the leaders no longer hide their corruption , we all see it as a norm so EVERYONE IS NOW CORRUPT
Since the leaders no longer hide their corruption , we all see it as a norm so EVERYONE IS NOW CORRUPT . It would take a really long time of good governance to get us back on track
BastardWike: To worsen matters for Nigeria, we are no longer talking about how we can develop but how to survive insecurity and debilitating poverty. At the pace we are retrogressing, we will never catch up instead we will continue to get worse until we start fighting ourselves to death.
THIS IS THE EXACT DESTINY OF NIGERIA IN A HUNDRED YEARS TIME IF IT STILL REMAINS TOGETHER.

South African's economy is white hands, though the blacks are trying their best to ruin it. If south Africa 'really' enter blacks hands, they will destroy it.
I do not have an IG account, this comment would be better siuted there, back to the issue.
The major problem with Nigeria that actually breeds the ones mentioned by the OP is :
We appreciate bad, corrupt attitudes and people more than good ones. That is why they keep producing corrupt people to lead and under develop
their land - check their leaders from their history as a people.
They prefer to Support their own person that is bad and corrupt than to support someone else that is upright.
How many of you reading this can stand to support your own brother that has integrity (although not rich) instead that corrupt but rich one ?
Nigerians cannot stand up against evil and corruption because most of them are into it too. The few that .can do so are shouted down by thesame
People clamouring for good leaders and development.
Instead of us to stand and fight against these corrupt people headlong (paying the utmost sacrifice) by telling our self the truth, support people with
integrity, good values, and competence, not at all, we run to other civilized nations (where they have paid the utmost price for standing against
corruptions). We act like cowards, and now many nations are chasing out Nigerians (craftily telling them to go repair their own country). Even many of
the people running out do so by many/any dubious means.
Condemn internet fraud and many are ready to tear you to streads.
This preference for corrupt attitudes is one major reason why Nigeria is backward inspite of her huge resources.
We cannot fight the corrupt father, leaders, chief, pastors, traditional ruler either because of ethnic, blood, religious affiliations or because our hands
already are soiled too, so if you make Pim ! They will bring out your dirty linen.
Until we begin to pay the utmost price of standinding up to what is right and good starting from our very homes and community to the top
We cannot develop as Nigeria, we may need to split the country for this to occur.
as at 1960 Nigeria did not have roads where in 2020 there are roads. as at 1960 Nigeria did not have daycare, primary, secondary and university schools where in 2020 there are schools.. I can go on....
in summary, the british had zero plans to improve the infrastructure, education, life e.t.c of Nigeria... which means even if Nigeria had waited until the 90s nothing would have changed.. british companies like shell, british tobacco, cadbury, e.t.c. are still sucking Nigeria dry... so Nigeria is not truly independent.
to be able to build massive infrastructure, Nigerians must create their own big companies and hire fellow Nigerians and keep the revenue in Nigeria.
the above is my comment to nedekid... below is my comment to you: the british did not build any city in Nigeria, so there wasn't any city to maintain.. what you see around Nigeria today was built by igbos, yorubas, ijaws, hausas, fulanis, bini, efik, urhobos, itsekiris e.t.c.
it is the b:ritish that is greedy because they still own many of the biggest companies in Nigeria which takes profits back to UK and leaves Nigeria with crumbs and the ethnic nations in Nigeria still built a $400billion economy and you're saying Nigeria hasn't progressed....
Sorry I did not respond earlier to your noble submission. It is not totally true that Nigeria did not have all you said setup by the British. Who says we did not have roads, industries, daycare, schools, Healthcare setup by the British? Do you know that even in the 30ies the regions where already being developed? My father and his boss drove all over the country to as far as Cameroon by roads in the later 50ies and 60ies. The malls were there Utc etc. Of course they set up what was required for the population and projected growth just as they did in South Africa etc. Industries were setup, schools, healthcare. Do you know even in the 30ies you had a middle class, lawyers, civil servants, doctors etc. Farming with proper production chain was available. Processing of cattle and let me shock you, pork ie pigs was done in the North (try that now if you wount be beheaded). Peoperly butchered, processed, frozen, put in trains to factories in Lagos where they were turned into meat products like sussages, ham, bacon, steak etc. Even the textile factories of kano etc were all there. We as Nigerians after rushing to independence did not sustain the growth for more than 10-20 years before the downwards spiral. Kindly visit YouTube and research videos of Nigeria right from 1900 to post independence ie 1960s and you will wonder where Nigeria would have been if we got it right. I will add one for you to watch.
