They deserve all the hatred they can get, especially the ones we have here in Nigeria

thesicilian:
We in Africa also know all these things and we hate the African leaders much more than you diasporeans can ever imagine.

ivolt:
2,3 and 4 are completely wrong.
If they were true, you wouldn't hate "African leaders" at all because it is pointless.

I am usually amazed when some people who spent some years in a foreign country
starts pretending to be experts in national development.
You would think there was a special class on societal dynamics for immigrants

mmanwuijele:


Its too much. Home is home! It belongs to you, it belongs to me. We cannot continue to let these illiterate pigs destroy it for us. We either back Sowore fully and his call for #revolution or we back Nnamdi and Sunday for secession. We cannot continue like this.

mmanwuijele:
This is from my perspective. Please feel free to throw in thoughts.

1) We know the potential of our society- We understand that to make life better for our people is not necessarily hard, especially with what we have. We can see it through a different lens. Many people in Africa and ALL the leaders are just selfish bigots who think evil and cunny cunny is the only way to make it in an environment like that ( tbh I don't blame the people)

2) We know the West- We understand and have experience of the racism, prejudice and stereotypes of oyibo. Many genuinely don't like us. The worst thing is, our poor brother or sister is forced to put aside their pride, dignity and respect to please these people, because its their country and at least, the country works ( for them). The frustration is then amplified when we think of home. Asking yourself, "what am I doing here? I don't belong here", however, when you remember the society you've come from, you decide to keep tolerating it, because at least you can see money to eat.

3) We know the way western society functions- We can see what they are planning, but can't do anything about it. Therefore, this frustration is channeled at the ones mismanaging our home. Why do you think people that are relatively comfortable abroad are agitating the most for Biafra? or Oduduwa? We see it as an outlet. If I go chop sh*t, at least make I chop am for my own fatherland, trying to make it better. The thing though is that, many ( including myself) don't see Nigeria as their fatherland. Too many injustices. Too many evil.

4) The incompetence of our "Leaders"- This is even more glaring to us. For example, while people make memes out of Buhari saying the First Lady of the country belongs in the "other room", many of our people know the true effect of that to the reputation of the country abroad.

5) We know not to trust oyibo- Many oyibos don't like blacks. This is a fact. You can be nice to them, you can be a good boy, but the moment you do something that a "good boy" is not supposed to do, like ask for whats yours, watch the reaction. Yet we see our "Leaders" suck up to these people and we know very well that if only they knew the true intentions of the west, they'd quickly restructure the borders, form alliances and start DOING FOR SELF. Why do you think its ok for Western Nations to produce nukes but not for 1 single African country to have them?

So "Nigerians" I beg you, lets fix our sh*t up. If the country must split, let it split peacefully. We need our collective numbers and brains. We can form alliances after. Please. A dysfunctional Africa due to unending cultural feuds affects no one but us and benefits no one but the west.

Thoughts?

True, we cannot continue like this. Something has to be done. A revolution is a great idea, an probably the best way forward. I don't believe in secession. Secession is just the same as dividing the problem into smaller regions: the hatred, tribalism, religious extremism and discrimination, and systemic corruption are all still there.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


Let me tell you the truth some people like Nigerians are happy safari wherever they are. The truth of the matter here some people do not want to be uplifted the more they suffer the happier they are. Even when Nigerians go abroad they vote for the same idiot which were making them suffer in Nigeria illiteracy is a problem
