Reflect7:Your daddy is so stupid you fvcktard I even think say nah person with sense I dey reply, never knew sense is far from your useless self. Nah your useless and dull papa wey I go blame sha. In Benin and Togo, people dey enjoy 24/7 power supply, they have good roads, food inflation is not as high as it is in Nigeria, people do pay house rent per month, fulanis herdsmen are not on a killing spree, No terrorist group is unleashing hell on the citizens See guy, your papa is so daft, I won't be reading your daft response again not to talk of replying your dull self. Your foolishness is so irritating you swine. Only death can cure you of this fool!shness. See the way armless civilians were killed in Southern Kaduna, I can assure you 100%, this sort of madness can't happen in Benin. Bastard! |

Eastlink: Na true na!!! LOOK, IN 1960, NO ROADS LED TO THE VILLAGE. AFTER 80 YEARS OF BRITISH RULE. YOU WOULD ENTER A BUS AND STOP AT THE NEAREST ROAD TO YOUR VILLAGE AND THEN WALK ON FOOTPATHS FOR 1 TO 3 DAYS BEFORE ARRIVAL. TODAY ROADS LEAD EVERYWHERE COURTESY OF BLACK RULE, AND WE EVEN CURSE THE GOVT WHEN THE ROAD IS NOT FULLY TARRED AND PAVED! THESE KIDS HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAR WE HAVE COME. |

Reflect7:this is why Nigeria hurriedly gain independence and today they can not manage their resources instead some few individuals are diverting the funds for their own personal use, but we are out here blaming the colonial masters for looting our resources during their time, 61 years after independent Nigeria can not boast of world class infrastructures and even good economy no good roads and stable electricity and you call that an independent?

DubaiLandLord2: What an ignorant RETAR.D this is. Is Benin Republic even up to 1 million population? Togo? How many people are in Togo? I know you have a dead brain, but try not to compare 210 million - strong Nigeria with its multiplicity of competing problems and rivalries, with tiny villages like Togo and Benin. Failed, lazy youth blaming Nigeria for his uselessness. Was it not in this same Nigeria that a young guy in Lagos - YOUR JUNIOR - formed a startup that was acquired by Stripe for 200 million dollars? LAZY YOUTH. Don't go and learn a skill and make something of your useless life. |

I know the colonialists brainwashed you to think you were primitive and lived on trees in the jungle before they arrived to 'civilize' you..

Reflect7: I guess it's right time we have this conversation we have been seriously trying to dodge. I totally agreed with this poster , yes we have problems no doubts but are we where we used to be, hell no! Are things moving at the rate at which they're meant to be moving, hell no too. Let's start from Abuja FCT, at independence that's a totally a place not inexistence at all except but little villages, huts and hamlets, today Abuja is a world class city. Lagos, no Victoria Island, Lekki was a swamp, no FESTAC at independence, today we know what we have in those places, and the same thing can be said of every cities and towns across all the 36 states of Nigeria. Population we were just about around 30 million or so at independence, today over 200 million no country under this planet earth has been able to achieve such massive population growth in the last 60 years, tho it has its pros and cons. Education, from only 1 varsity in 1960 to over 100 or more today, let's forget mushrooms or not, they can be built upon. Many cities and towns in 1960 does not have electricity at all, tho today still epileptic but there's electricity and civilization. We just can go and on about the development that we have achieved as a nation even tho it might be at a very very slow rate but we're developing and we can do more. At this point, I think it's high time we just sit down and have honest discussions within ourselves either to stay together or dissolve. Nigeria, Biafra, Oduduwa land, Arewa and other parts of Nigeria shall be great � Happy Independence. |

chukwuemekaduke: iF THE COLONIALS DID NOT TAKE 1/10TH how come we had zero electricity at independence? No power grid. No power plants? How come our FIRST power plant was Kainji Dam (1964)? Zero industries. Zero expressways/flyovers etc. Zero major hospitals. Literacy rate at 5% compared to 74% today. Malnutrition and children/adults walking around barefoot and naked in some cases. All this despite ruling for 80 years and exporting our resources? |

Isn't this idiot the ONE that paid HIMSELF about $1billion or so BEFORE he stepped down as head of states? Colonial master's treated us BETTER than our own. If I become the president of Nigeria, I will fill ALL the ministerial post with Westerners( I don't care it they are black , Spanish or Orientals, just ppl that understand the word SERVICE) and you will see wonder. Can you that after all the wahala that Obama went thru in his Presidency, he was ONLY paid a little over $200K before taxes?? A lazy local govt chairman makes that IN A MONTH. My point?? Our leaders treat us WORSE than the colonialist! Imagine we are STILL counting how much abacha stole since more than 2 decades?? 1 Like 1 Share |

You must be an absolute knucklehead to not see they engaged in gargantuan looting of our resources. |

His government was probably the most corrupt in the country's history. So corrupt that it probably dipped hands in the foreign reserves. The police headquarters in Abuja was built for 14bn ($140m at the then exchange) probably did not cost more than 2b then to build. I'm sure a billion would have finished it. They would have sold off 40% share of NITEL, NEPA and other huge public companies in a rush but Obasanjo who had then won the presidential elections said he would not recognize any sale once in power. That was when they idea was discarded. 1 Like 1 Share |
