Infact that's correct. I won't fight here. What have we gotten right? Na election? Abi na economy? Abi corruption, insecurity, that has eaten inside our politicians lives?

The Daily Express is obviously trying to do a "The Sun".

In the early 1990s, His Transmittance, Rupert Murdoch, ordered his media empire to go after the Royal Family. The chief attack vehicle was The Sun Newspaper and the chief target was Princess Diana. They wrote all kinds of crazy stories about her and her children (I actually remember a very offensive story that they wrote about William and Harry while the princes were still in primary school).

The Sun also viciously attacked Sarah Ferguson and this almost made her suffer a mental breakdown.


The Daily Express is currently trying to recreate that scenario. They have written all kinds of disgusting stories about Meghan Markle in the past 2 months. They will continue writing these stories, despite the fact that normal people are criticising them, because what they are after is attention (regardless of whether it's positive or negative) and these stories give them a lot of attention.

The Sun tried to pit Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson against each other in the late 1980s and early 1990s (despite the fact that they were like best friends) and the Daily Express is desperately trying to pit Kate Middleton against Meghan Markle.


1) Diana, Princess of Wales and Sarah, Duchess of York.

2) Diana & Sarah and Kate & Meghan.

3) Kate Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan Duchess of Sussex.

4) Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson.

I have LIVED among them.

I know EXACTLY what I’m saying.

Most black Americans and Jamaicans cannot stand Africans because they see Africans as sellouts with inferiority complex towards whites

Don’t forget these are people who have fought the whites for CENTURIES in that part of the world.

They simply do not regard whites the way NIGERIANS do. At all!

it went wrong the very day we got independence. Look at the calibar of criminals we produce as leaders every now and then.

No Nigerian past and present leaders, except for one or two individuals that can hold any public office in a sane society and I wonder when Nigerians will correct this mistake.

It has gotten soo far that the only two options left is either to divide the country or Nigerians steps out and start killing politicians and their relatives or else, nothing will change.....

reiddecuti:
All I see here is jealousy.

On the other hand, no matter how sh*tty Nigeria is, it's still the most fun and interesting place to be.


N.B. It's time we start booting out all these bad eggs calling themselves leaders to sanitize the atmosphere.

Dem visit no help strengthen di relationship between our country and UK, as di people wey follow dem come (Meghan and Harry too) no get any connection wit their country. So, dem no fit talk on top matter wey concern trade, defense, and cultural exchange because dem no get authority to do am.

So, wetin we gain from their visit?? E get global media attention on di couple, but where dem go when dem dey here? Dem show any fine place for di country wey fit make tourists wan come, promote our cultural heritage, and help small businesses and economy? No, dem no do am.

Dem say dey just come boost our soldiers morale. Soldiers wey no dey paid well, wey dem go lock up if dem protest when hungry wire dier head, many wounded soldiers wey dier benefits no fit even feed their children. Any advocacy for these ones? Dem bring any attention to their issues?

No!!! We just do parade of some soldiers, parading dem with smiles for his Invictus Games.

Abeg, dem no try.

Name me one thing he said that isn't true about Nigeria.

Sarah Ferguson (Fergie) almost had a mental breakdown because of constant harassment by the tabloids (especially the Daily Sun and the Daily Mirror).

They made fun of her weight and called her the "Duchess of Pork" instead of the Duchess of York. I remember reading a story in the Sun in which they claimed that she had sex with another man while she was pregnant with Princess Beatrice (by the way, I remember when Princess Beatrice was born. Everybody was talking about the significance of her birthday. She was born on the 8th day of the 8th month of 1988. Was it the 8th hour too?)

She and Prince Andrew travelled to California in 1988 and the British newspapers said that the trip was a, "brash, vulgar, excessive, weak-humored exhibition by two royals". However, officials of the City of Los Angeles said that the criticism was "awful" and offending, and observers described the Duke and his wife's behaviour as friendly, and said that they fulfilled their duties.

Cameramen from the tabloids followed her everywhere she went and took secret pictures of her. They tracked her to a private beach (after her separation from Prince Andrew) and took pictures of her while she was sunbathing topless on the beach.

I remember an interview that she gave a few years after the divorce. She said that she was relieved and she felt free because the media were no longer hounding her.

I guess that everybody knows what the media did to Princess Diana, so I'll only talk about one story that shocked me.

I got a copy of The Sun sometime between 1989 and 1992 and I saw an attention grabbing headline. I rushed to the story and I was shocked and disgusted.

This stupid paper had gone to William and Harry's school to monitor their activities. They reported that Harry said that he would hang someone when he becomes king and they also had reports about what Harry was doing in school.

These were primary school kids, for God' sakes! Primary school kids will say anything! But they tried to portray it as if it was some kind of serious issue. This could have scarred the kids for life!

I never took them seriously after that.

Fergie said that Diana gave her the strength and courage to get through the tough times.

You can see (in the pictures below) some of the nonsense that's being written about Meghan Markle. Do they actually expect her to cut off her baby bump when she's going out or what exactly is wrong with them?

Some people feel that the Daily Express is being racist, but I don't think that's the problem.

The Sun initially started attacking the Royal Family because Rupert Murdoch is a republican (in the Australian sense) and he wanted to discredit them.

However, they soon realised that it was a big boost to circulation. People would get offended by what The Sun wrote and other people would want to see what was so offensive in the story, so they would buy the paper and The Sun ended up making a lot of money that way.

I reckon that the Daily Express like the publicity (no publicity is bad publicity) and they expect that it will lead to more clicks and advertising revenue.

It is because you’re conditioned to self hate that you think things began to go wrong “after independence”.

BEFORE INDEPENDENCE the literacy rate of Nigeria was 5%.

Because the British looters built no public schools.

THAT IS WHY OUR GRANDPARENTS WERE ILLITERATE VILLAGE PEASANTS.

IT WAS INDEPENDENCE that led to black govts building THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of public schools nationwide, which educated your parents, who then ensured your education.

WITHOUT INDEPENDENCE YOU WOULD BE A VILLAGE PALMWINE TAPPER TODAY.

Fact.

PLUS THE BRITISH BUILT ZERO POWER STATIONS.

Our FIRST power station was KAINJI DAM commissioned in 1964 by Balewa.

THE BRITISH BUILT NOT ONE SINGLE FULL FLEDGED UNIVERSITY IN THEIR 80 YEAR RULE despite exporting resources worth TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS CUMULATIVELY.

NOT ONE SINGLE INDUSTRY.

NOT EVEN A SINGLE MAJOR HOSPITAL.

All they did in Nigeria was LOOT, LOOT, and LOOT.

It was Independence that SAVED US from them.

Without that Independence, NONE OF YOU WOULD BE HERE TYPING.

You would be stuck in your village farms, illiterate as bricks.

Topman7:


But thousands of people are homeless beggars in the UK.

You go there and you have white beggars stopping you and asking you for “spare change”. Most sleep on dirty pavements with trash around, and millions of people are jobless, while many are neck deep in debt. All while a favoured group of people live in huge palaces filled with gold and silver, and own property worth billions of dollars.

SO BRITAIN IS A HORRIBLE PLACE WHICH NOBODY SHOULD VISIT BECAUSE OF THESE TERRIBLE THINGS AND GREAT INJUSTICE HAPPENING THERE.

Do you agree?

And if not, why not?

You lack understanding of international politics.

If it was Kate Middleton that came visiting, his opinion would have been the direct opposite. British media are just a bunch of hypocrites.

He is attacking Nigeria because of the hatred he has for meghan and you’re here commenting on issue beyond you.

cococandy:


That goes to show how really racist, ignorant and hateful these new crop of British media people are.

I really side eye anyone who believed all the lies they were spewing against H&M

promise4040:
Honestly, we're losing it all in this country.

Nigeria with a population of over 200 million people should naturally be a place where people beg to visit. Rather, some thinks it even senseless to mention the name.

Where did it all go wrong with Nigeria?

Queensfield:
Well. Nigerians shouldn't expect anything less. If any of the above-mentioned accusations is a lie, pls point it out before commenting with hateful, unremorseful words. Nigeria is the seat of tribalism, discriminatory, corruption, judicial incompetence, and fraud. Period.

after building the schools and educating ourselves, here is where we are .do you have anything to show for our education?....

Let's take south Africa for instance, I am sure you are aware that, Nigeria is 10 times behind south Africa in terms of infrastructural and every aspect of development? . Who made it possible?...the whites I guess.

All that you listed up there, the schools,kanji dam.. etc, do we still have any useful one today?..the answer is "No"

our government owned schools are shit-holes

we can't boast of 1 hour steady power supply,..

so you just tell me something different because the last time I checked, Nigeria was far better during the colonial period than even now. At least then, it was work in progress, but today what is our excuse?

As I said earlier and will always say, we have only two solutions to Nigeria problem...either we divide the country or the common man rise up and start killing Nigeria leaders and their relatives...
