udomonday: it is easier to design than build.and that is what Nigeria is good at.where is the well designed centinnary city in abuja.where is the millennium tower in abuja.
What are you talking about? Lagos attracts a lot of foreign investment. Especially in its real estate space. Everything doesn't have to be built by Nigerians. Remember, the 1004 towers were built by the Federal government as far back as the 1970s! They are more than the buildings on banana island you people are shouting about. And they were designed by a Nigerian.
udomonday: Mr man stop talking thrash you are the one with all the inferiority.to be proud of the nonsense they are putting up in that banana island shows that your brain is myopic.and you are full of mediocrity.
You are not smart,boy. The op you are defending was the one praising the Lebanese buildings in banana island, and he said you Nigerians are monkeys because you can't build the kind of Lebanese owned buildings in banana island. If that's not inferiority complex, then what is it, big mouth?
franchasng: Shutup and listen to the op he's making a valid point. Some of you Nigerians are so annoying; basting in your foolishness and stupidity which has kept Nigeria on the floor for decades; I feel like beating you up
He just called you a monkey, you inferior being. You should shut up.
Aconomist: Who developed it? LEBANESE. Who did the sand-filling? CHINESE. Who contracted the roads? GERMANS. You Nigerians are just the consumers. All you do is consume, consume, consume. You produce nothing. Worthless monkeys.
Who designed it? Nigerians. Aren't you the worthless monkey here? You hate your skin so much you label your own people monkeys. What kind of monkey can be bigger than you?
Aconomist: Even the idea of Banana Island is monkey-ish.
This so-called "excusive real estate" that looks like a construction site a decade after its completion? Where are the grocery stores? Where is the mall?Where is the movie theatre or the Marina? There is nothing in this place to make it desirable. It would be considered a slum in the U.S. Even those Lebanese buildings that tower over your bungalows look like council flats (public housing) in the U.K.
Nigeria is a worthless country full of worthless people.
Now, the Lebanese buildings look like council flats. So why were you praising them before? You call the idea of an artificial island monkeyish. Show us what you have ever built. All mouth, no teeth. Guess you have not heard of the banana island shopping mall.
And what have you achieved? Have you built anything higher than 1 storey? If you admit to being stupid because you are a Nigerian, it's your funeral. Bottom line: a "stupid" Nigerian came up with the idea of banana island.
Aconomist: Wonder why Nigeria is so primitive and slow to develop? Because it is full of Nigerians. Here is an image of Banana island. The colorful skyscrapers are on the part that was developed by Lebanese. The rest of it went to Nigerian developers.
See the difference?
Imagine how beautiful this place would look if all of it was developed by Lebanese.
But a Nigerian came up with the idea of banana island. Stop feeling inferior to people with paler skin than you.
I hate threads like this which insults major southern tribes. What are the social, economic, educational, environmental conditions of the Hausa Fulanis today with all their useless extinct empire? The IBO's stand heads and shoulders above the Hausa fulanis.
AlexBells: Saudi is not same with Iran, Saudi is Richer, Saudi is not hate filled and does not really wish to obliterate any one, Saudi is not aggressively engaged in weaponisation, Saudi has more global integration, Saudi is more Diversified, Saudi is generally more open and prosperous, Saudi is more accommodating to non muslims,
Did I not say Saudi is richer? If Saudi is not hate filled, it wouldn't be a major sponsor of terrorism. The brutal murder of Khassoggi comes to mind. And Iran's is more diversified in terms of its economy than Saudi. Neither of them is actually accommodating to non Muslims.
AlexBells: That's not the only problem they have, they sponsor terrorism or should I rather say, they got terrorism, they are Islamic extremists, If they ask you if you want Nigeria to be like Iran or to be like Saudi Arabia which would you choose, I used Soudi at least they are both muslim countries
Saudi and Iran are not much different. They both sponsor terrorism, Saudi is just richer. Let's say, Saudi is a richer version of Iran.
AlexBells: I wonder how we come to share a country, these countries you are mentioning, how are they different from Nigeria, how is iran different from Nigeria
Iran is light years ahead of Nigeria, my brother. The only problem they have is lack of some basic freedoms like women rights and such.
BKayy: I don't blame him. Then North take pride in showing their stupidity like the one Ahmadu Bello did around that year about Northern prejudice on Igbo people. Things like this needs to be studied by contemporary Nigerian Youths for them to know that this Country is more divided than what the Herdsman is showing them. The Unity of Nigeria is like the Unity of two warring races
And I am sure Boniface was a product of the public school system of his time. Now we have abandoned the education of our children in the hands of emotional ladies and incompetent teachers, like someone above me said.
Kinematics: See your deluded skull is devout of sound reasoning. I only corrected you, because from your write up it was obvious you think Nigeria is the only country in the world that is exporting crude oil and importing petroleum products. Take your L and hide your face.
Even Iran which is a bigger oil producer than Nigeria, imports refined petroleum products.
AlexBells: Like Seriously who even expects Nigeria to be successful when the foundation was laid in stagnant methodology. With what I'm seeing so far, Nigeria had tried her best to be so successful, only few entities can progress with our kind of system, we are programmed for retardation.
Who Exports crude but imports Petroleum if Not Nigeria.
Who recycles leaders that failed in the past to come and fail again: Nigeria.
Who Reloot looted funds, that was remitted from oversea then reloot it and send it back to oversea so that it will be remitted and be relooted again in the future: Nigeria
At this point I really feel proud of the little success we had seen, Nigeria is built to fail.
Honestly, it's a wonder how Nigeria has done it. The country was not designed to progress or last beyond a few years after independence. That's why things are so bad.
But it surprises me that Nigeria, as messy as it is, is actually better than most sub Sahara Africa countries in terms of financial opportunities. Africa must be really bad indeed.
SouthNigerian: It is inevitable that Nigeria will disintegrate before or after 2023. It is important for the whole South to operate as a Nation. Reasons:
1. The North would become a den of terrorists. A divided South Nigeria would be easier for a terrorist North to conquer. A unified South would become too solid to be infiltrated.
2. Majority wahala in a Biafran Nation won't be a problem, as a Country comprising the Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Idoma, Edo tribes etc would be a perfect balance.
3. The Forward Looking and Innovativeness of the South would make her a Legacy in Africa and the world. We will compete with world powers.
4. The South will dominate Africa through Education, business, Innovations, entertainment, sports.
5. South Nigeria is the opportunity for a flourished Africa. What we become determines the fate of Africa.
6. South Nigeria would become the number one destination for investors, tourists etc in Africa.
7. South Nigeria would become the true definition of African Ability.
LASTLY
8. Igbo, Edo girls like Yoruba Boys. Igbo men like the phat assed Yoruba girls. My baby Mama is from Delta while my current girlfriend is an Imolite.
CONCLUSION: Do not fall for the new division tactics from the caliphate. The caliphate believe anything can happen, be it Biafra, Oduduwa or Niger Delta Nations. The caliphate knows that a three Nation from the South would make it easier for the caliphate to expand. The caliphate is now spreading a new propaganda how the Igbos, Yorubas and Niger Deltans can't live together as one entity.
We Must Seek To Stay Together As A Nation, SOUTH NIGERIA.
So, what name are we going to call this new nation?
If the Yorubas like, let them continue playing the ostrich. If we talk now, they will say we are beating drums of war. Should we wait until these impending doom fall upon us all? You would think some of these things are not possible in modern times, but look at what's going on in China against the Uighurs, look at Myanmar, look at India's cattle vigilante cases.
