An average nigerian will be the first to condemn others. He/she crys foul when the rights of people from other country are violated while keeping quiet at the many violations in their own country. They want the world to see them as good people when they are actually monsters. I HATE NIGERIA WITH PASSION!!

um . . . @Poster, I don't think you should take it that far. Yes, I know exactly what you are speaking of. Many a Nigerian will cry that he/she is being discriminated against, when denied one freedom or another abroad, but the very same Nigerians, when discussing Nigeria related issues, would openly discriminate against Nigerians from other tribes, regions, etc, without flinching.   

I don't think pretense has much to do with it, and I certainly don't believe it is reason to HATE anyone. I do  think this speaks to the fact that we are no where near where we ought to be as beings, and as a people. It definitely gets my blood boiling but you should see people of this kind more as people who need help.

^^^ my dear, it is pretence in collabo with hypocrisy of the highest order.

I can not fathom the operational relationship of words such as hatred, discrimination, violation or denial.

Nigeria is a bye product of imperial misconception. An attempt to correct the fraud had led to a bitter war which has indelibly left us with recurrent government and leadership devoid of any sense of articulation.

@Ogbonaikenna, I do not think you can hate Nigeria more than I do because there is no rest for me until the cesspit called Nigeria is disintegrated.
