ornicus: Every region has their nasty legacy if that is it. Kidnapping is the legacy of the South South to the whole of Nigeria.
Should we also say the South south turned Nigeria to the kidnap capital of the world, outdoing even those crazy South Americans and Mexicans?
The Fulani herdsmen killing from the middle belt to the south are hardly south south people. Not to forget that they have added serious kidnapping to the mix.At least the south Southerners keep their menace to their region. Unlike the Fulani's who spread theirs to other parts of the country. Look,bro, no matter how we twist this, the fact remains that the north has been a major drag around Nigeria's neck than any other region.
ornicus: Of course they would. Those without any sort of memory. You think boko haram is bad now? You forget they were striking in Abuja? The billions of naira siphoned away by diezani and her cronies, or the money wasted by dasuki? Or the brazen money laundering? Or the October 1 bombing where the only people who were unaware that mend would attack were Nigerian civilians? The disgraceful response to the chibok girls? The unbridled madness of dame p?
Boko Haram was another legacy of the north. It's what the topic is about.
ornicus: After the incompetence of GEJ, I would have thought people would have known better than to point fingers. Seems I was wrong.
Many would agree that the incompetence of GEJ is nothing compared to the monumental incompetence and primordial tendencies of the aged Buhari. With facts.
IamaNigerianGuy: There's an element of truth to this, but southern politicians bear responsibility as well
The southern politicians are in the North's pocket. Look at the last election for example, Yoruba Osinbajo was Buharis running mate while the Igbo Obi was Atikus running mate. The Southerners tend to see the north as the high and nighty. Until the middle belt and the south unite, the north would continue to take the country backwards, spreading poverty and killings.
SUFFERInSMILIIN: you are a full-blown illiterate. These are the best places in Lagos State to live in
These pictures are still better than the Kenyan pictures. You are in Ibadan. Stop lying about catching any stupid planes.Why not post pictures you took in Botswana and South Africa,you lunatic.
SUFFERInSMILIIN: These are my own pictures which I took by myself. These pictures do not belong to anybody. The pictures which you are posting up on the internet. There is a big difference I went all the way to Nigeria and took these pictures by myself. Please why don't you try catching a plane to Kenya and taking pictures by yourself. This is Lagos State look at the bus
Then your pictures are a disappointment to your Kenyan friends. Cover your face in shame,friend. You went round Nigeria and these are the worst pictures you can find?
SUFFERInSMILIIN: You do not get the point what I hear from Botswana television is this white man was brought into Kenya to make non-believers go to church. And it works very very well people which I've never been to church started going to church to see him. People were traveling from all over the world to Kenya to see. He brought more than 5 million US dollar of tourism and Investment into Kenya. it was not a bad idea at all why don't you take care of your poverty
AskiaHarem: Lmao you coons are shameless. A random white man came to dupe and rob your asses and you worshipped the ground he walked on. No wonder you people don't own a thing. You people have no future. Pathetic. Whatever place your posting looks a he11 of a lot better than Kenya.
As Nigeria celebrates its 59th anniversary as an independent nation country, it is interesting to note how many think there is little to celebrate. Check out many developmental indexes and you will see that Nigeria ranks poorly. If such indexes are not much to go by as some would argue--- take a good look at actual standard of living in Nigeria.
Food prices are high, house rent is high, educational standard is in the doldrums and employment is rife.Salaries are not encouraging in most cases.(Minimum wage is a case in point)
The question is: Are Nigerians today living better than a decade ago?
So how does this concern the north? The north contributes majorly to the percentage of poverty in Nigeria because of their stifled development. Some northern states have poverty levels as high as 70%! Even their almighty kano! This pulls down the country a lot. Illiteracy is as high as 80% in some northern states. Child mortality rate is higher than national average. Healthcare delivery in the north is worse than elsewhere. Terrorism found its way to Nigeria through the north and continues to drain the country's resources.
And the worst thing is how the north has been able to gradually transfer all these negative attributes to other parts of the country by holding on to leadership/ruler ship. The north has produced more rulers than all the other parts of the country combined. And even if a ruler is to emerge from any other part of the country, he must be the North's choice.
The most annoying thing is how the West and the East struggle to outdo each other in becoming the North's lackey! Children of the South come to social media to beef one another while the north is left free to dictate direction for the country at the costly expense of the Southerners. Even the northerners have to be saved from themselves by the Southerners who need to come together before it is too late and chart a meaningful direction for the country. I wish you a sober Independence Day.
I think you should focus on your career for now. There are many good and beautiful girls out there. You are going to meet yours when the time is right.
obaaderemi: If you have not noticed by now that I am a Nigerian and that this thread is on Nigeria's most active forum, then you are stupid. Many Nigerian youths are active on nairaland.They get national and international news here and see the stupidity of Kenyans here and marvel. Now,you are a Kenyan,how did you find your way to nairaland? Or do you also come here to get national and international news?
Hahahahahahahahaha....It's like someone said before. Most of them are acting Nigerian already without knowing it. Maybe he thinks you are Kenyan. Let's see what he has to say in his own defense.
68816419: How can a place with over 170 universities has less than 600k students capacity only, when Abu zaria alone has enrollment range of about 25,000-29,999 students and students capacity of about 41k, does that even makes sense to u?
henryobinna: what kind of low self esteem js this?
what's special about African Americans to admire? those people with a very dysfunctional society and messed up community...
na wa oh... you need to upgrade
Low self-esteem indeed.Don't mind him. But not all black Americans are messed up.We have many of them who in their own ways had contributed to the advancement of world society.
Kazikazi: Pliz have mercy on these kiberans! The dudes are starving! China gave them food aid.Qatar which is a desert nation helped them with food.Now I beg u to send some food to them ASAP!
I think the problem with Kenya is pretending to be what it is not. The starvation in that country as this thread has shown is outrageous. It is sad and a slap on the face of all Africans! It is an emergency and a shame of terrible proportions.
Jonraid: Tell your countrymen to stop the complains then!
Don't mind them! I think they learnt to be petty from the Kenyans who cried loudly because Beyonce snubbed Kenyans and featured mostly Nigerians in a music video about an East African story,The Lion King.
TayserMahri: Hardly about honor. Its about the money. i.e which actor will attract the highest viewership and thus the best returns. Lupita alone would be more valuable to the company than the top 10 female Nigerian actors combined.
Well, she is acting in a movie about a novel written by a Nigerian. Big deal.
TayserMahri: S. Sudan and Somalia are neighboring states to Kenya. Kenyans will obviously venture into those countries. And the cause of deportation is the locals complaining that Kenyans are taking the top professional jobs leaving Somalis and Sudanese empty. Its not like they were deported for drug dealing like Nigerians. In S. Sudan virtually all major contracts are taken by Kenyans.
A Somali court has ordered the deportation of 27 Kenyans found to be in the country illegally. This is the first time in 25 years that Somalia is to expel foreigners for overstaying their visas.
mtisTheQubit: Kenyans and Nigerians have been exchanging bitter words on social media since American movie giant Warner Media’s decided to cast Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o for the role of a Nigerian character in a new movie, Americanah.
The movie is based on a book by the same title by award-winning Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
There is nothing much in Hollywood using lupita in a movie about Nigeria. They once used djimon Hounsu,a beninoise as a Kenyan character in a movie. The bigger honour still belongs to the Nigerian girl who wrote the novel.
