But a Nigerian came up with the idea of banana island. Stop feeling inferior to people with paler skin than you.

Aconomist:
I'm not inferior. YOU are. If Nigeria was full of people like me, it would be the most developed place on earth.

Aconomist:
Even the idea of Banana Island is monkey-ish.

Nigeria is a worthless country full of worthless people.

Aconomist:
Wonder why Nigeria is so primitive and slow to develop? Because it is full of Nigerians. Here is an image of Banana island. The colorful skyscrapers are on the part that was developed by Lebanese. The rest of it went to Nigerian developers. See the difference?

The Lebanese built these towers almost 10 years ago. And since then, the Nigerians haven't erected anything taller than 3 stories.

hisgrace090:
The lebanis are great archievers wherever they go.

In nigeria alone they've ventured into so many big busineses with their indian coutapart.

OneTemplate:


No they're not. We're do you guys get these misconceptions you peddle as if fact?

In the UK, for example, the Lebanese have nowhere near the profile of Nigerians and they don't particular stand out as a special people or "great achievers".

The preferential treatment they get across Africa from backward leaders, who slavishly worship fair skin like the deluded OP, explains the strides Lebanese make in Nigeria and Africa.

I still witnessed this bull crap the other day when I was in a Mr. Biggs on the Island. This silly attendant was busy slavishly suckling up to this Lebanese customer and smiling from ear to ear.

As soon as it was my turn her face became stern and unwelcoming automatically. Very ungracious, rude, demeaning and unprofessional. This is how self-hating black folks treat each other in Africa, on their own soil, while giving Lebanese, Indians etal fawning and preferential treatment.

I was livid but thought against joining issues with an unexposed and brainwashed simpleton absolutely incapable of taking in any constructive criticism about her behaviour.

It is the self-hatred of most Africans and their slavish worship of white skin, which the OP is definitely suffering from, that hands a lot of advantages to the Lebanese and Asian folks we see on African soil.

hedonido:


Ehen. I hear say na your papa be one of the biggest 'local' developers for Banana. I'm sure you have something to say.

chrisblack:
tell me your dream and I will tell you how it will be crushed

Aderr:
If you like live on the moon, the joke is on you. You are a Nigerian yourself.

SIRTee15:


Are they luxurious apartments or simply high rise building apartment?
Why should I pay millions of dollars to live in banana island and end up sharing swimming pool, tennis court or even gym facilities with other tenants.
When I can buy my own house with enough green, outdoor and privacy. I can even cultivate my own garden.
There's a reason there are few high rise in wealthy neighbourhood anywhere in the world.

Aconomist:
Who developed it? LEBANESE. Who did the sand-filling? CHINESE. Who contracted the roads? GERMANS. You Nigerians are just the consumers. All you do is consume, consume, consume. You produce nothing.

Rossikki:


Honestly, the guy is such an embarrassment.

I've never seen any person like this.

I wonder who raised him to hate himself to this extent.

Maybe he was sexually abused as a child.

Facidio:


The guy doesn't know that the real rich don't live in sky scrappers. They live in green serene environs

What species of human would live like this?

AndreBrut:
Beside the op using some derogatory words to buttress his position, I totally agree with him also. This is The Pearl Qatar, a project just like Banana Island.

forgiveness:


Was Raji Adeleke father of Deji Adeleke, Davido's father?

Make your research well.

Depressed101:
no mind the mumu.. what stops him from going there and find something to develop, abi the other Nigerians there, do they have two heads

maxell:


Every where doesn’t have to have high rise buildings. Some parts of the island has high rise buildings, some parts don’t.

No big deal.


Mike Adenuga’s house on the island is not high rise.

No need to label anyone as stupid

I don't think the guy is a Nigerian.. I might be wrong, but dude come across as one of these black people either from Africa or the diaspora who are genuinely frustrated with the embarrassing political/administrative set up in Nigeria! Met lots of them! The fact though, is that we as Nigerians are a huge shame to the black race and this is very humiliating to process...

We should have been helping many smaller countries fix their rails and airports and bridges by now with the amount of professionals and huge economy we are naturally endowed with. Unfortunately, the dumb politicians and sickening scorched earth policies practiced by tribal leaders in this country, together with political hangers on like you, who will support every failure in office in the name of patriotism, have helped to undermine this country in a vicious way...

Nigeria is badly managed. Very very! You can only start to notice the gap between this unfortunate country and her mates elsewhere when you visit other countries.. The high rises, the fast trains, the futuristic neighborhoods, the city organization,...compare those to the traumatic discuss in Nigeria that always revolves around Ruga, fulani herdsmen, narrow gauge and 5000 megawatts of power..... This can trigger all sorts of dormant anger cells in you!

That said, this very rascally Op is terribly ignorant! His diatribes against the Black race is nothing but a product of half education, vintage frustration and an alarming lack of critical thinking.. At this point, I'm starting to think that what he richly deserves is our collective pity and not curses..

OneTemplate:


You might be a shame to the black race but I am not and neither are the many outstanding Nigerians who excel inside and outside the shores of Nigeria to dispel the myth there is anything wrong or aberrant with Nigerians.

The fact is that the problems inside Nigeria does not define and stereotype Nigerians. It just highlights the unique institutional and entrenched challenges that blights our development in our nation of origin which are not issues elsewhere outside Nigeria.

The main problem of Nigeria is good old tribalism and a lack of committment to our Nation, State and duty.

The "everyman for himself" attitude is the reason Nigeria is performing far below her expectation. The attitude, belief system and entrenched culture of profiting cynically from every position one finds oneself in, rather than look to add value, dignity and competence to that position, is what is killing Nigeria.

Most Nigerians don't see public office, or even there everyday jobs as anything they should use positively to the glory that should be inherent in that position or job. They are only looking for how to "hammer" and "cash out".

Acknowledge that and stop insulting Nigerians with crass generalizations that makes you no better than others discriminatory elements here.

You are like the racist who will insist all blacks are criminals because of a few gang-bangers in his hood.

Gharial:


What did I just tell you

Dummy

Rugaria:


How did you misunderstand me in this way? Or is it a case of cocky patriotism? I was actually saying the same thing you just said in my previous post! I just meant that as a nation, a country, the biggest country in Africa, the biggest concentration of black people on earth.., we have alarmingly underachieved as a result rudderless politiking and maladministration. . And I explained why, while not implying that it has something to do with color or race.... So what exactly is your problem, young man? You mean we should be proud of this meds of a country?

Walkee:
to be clear I don't like skyscrappers, I prefer normal down house with a lot of plants but the idea that you can't criticise something unless you have done it is the most stupid argument in the history of mankind. So if you were never a policeman you can't condemn police brutality or the rot in police system?
Because you don't have a skyscrappers means you can't comment on the poor housing structure in a particular place?

Rossikki:


The logic of a thoughtless dunce with foam where his brain ought to be.

This Nigerian won Student Union President in Malmo University, a top Swedish university filled with 12,500 white people.

The whites therefore must be stupid, ignorant, semi-literate, primitive, uncivilized cretins, going by the logic of our resident self-hating dumbito-in-chief.
