Chinwem: If he wants to prostrate he should prostrate well.......or is he doing push-ups?

victorv12: Before Africa can rule the world, that time, the West and their counterparts will be living on Mars!!

Reference: Yes you can just like you can take loans to grow a business but the question remains, should we be doing this. Is this the way to develop. Is this the way America became industrialized or China for that matter, I think not.

My view of this is clear. Just as democracy is of the people, by the people and for the people, development likewise should be of the people, by the people and for the people, no matter what.

Development should be people-centric. If a group of people want or need a road they must have the capacity to build it and the cost awareness to value it. It is then their appetite for imports and luxuries can be tempered by the realities of acquisition and maintenance.

When modern civilisation came to these parts, our fore fathers liked what they saw and embraced it. They literaly built their churches, schools, cobblestone roads and bailey bridges with their hands and the little farm produce they gleaned to sell. Then all the white man brought was knowledge. Some of these structure remain standinp today as a testament to the value people placed on them because their sweat mixed the mortar.

That is how America was built, China during the cultural revolution and pre-second world war germany.

No country can develop another without the active participation of its inhabitants. Its a pity this is an electronic forum where space is limited for proper explanation.

crisycent: I came back to 9ja last month and i wonder why the AC still doesn't work. What a shame.

EmperorOlu: A lot of ignorance on this thread.While the actions of the police officers are illegal,there is no smoke without fire.This girl tweeting said they found drugs in the guy's house,how does she know the drugs were planted by the cops? If they were present when the cops were searching the house ,when and how did they plant the drugs without the Nigerian seeing them?

Every time they find drugs in a Nigerian's house ,the drugs were planted.That well known drug dealer who was deported from Kenya also claimed that the drugs found in his house was planted? I am not saying the SA cops are not capable of doing this,they are capable of even doing worse.That being said there are Nigerians that the SA police can set up and there are Nigerians the SA police can not set up.If you live in a "drug dealing" neighborhood chances are that you will be subject to this treatment.If however you have decent job or business and you reside in a decent middle class neighborhood you will never have to encounter the SA police.

I have lived in South Africa for over a decade and here is one thing i can tell all of of you who know nothing about South Africa.

If you keep decent company and don't engage in crime ,cops will never visit you.

I have been living in SA for over 12 years and not once have i been harassed by police or locked up because my hands are clean and i do not make friend with criminals.

95% of the Nigerian i have seen being arrested are guilty of one crime or the other.I always shake my head in pity when i see ignoramuses here dissing SA and it's people.Yes South Africans are xenophobic ,i won't deny that but the fact is if you are crime free ,you will enjoy SA and stay out of trouble.

Many of my Nigerian friends have never had any trouble with SA police because they follow the rules of the country.When the police stops my car ,i speak to them politely, show them my papers and they allow me to move on.If you are rude to the police,act like you are nervous or start acting like you are too big to be questioned ,you will get in to trouble.I can not tell you how many times i have seen our Nigerian brother arguing and even physically struggling with SA police here.

Let us stop being sentimental and tell ourselves the truth.I remember an incipient which occurred two years ago.I was in a Nigerian restaurant and the police raided the place and found drugs under the kitchen cabinet.It later turned out that the the Nigerian girl who owned the restaurant was stashing her boyfriend's drug in her kitchen for safe keeping.I was there and i saw that the drugs were NOT planted by the police.Our own too much! Come to South Africa and see with your own eyes how our brothers and sisters are disgracing our country especially those of Igbo extraction,you will weep for Nigeria when you see how they commit crimes with reckless abandon in SA.

Nigerians are not the only foreign nationals in other parts of Africa,how come we are the only ones always getting in to trouble? There are Ghanaian too in SA and Kenya but you never hear of them being maltreated because they do not not misbehave like our Nigerian brothers.

Wsdm: Very correct. I am not from that place but i feel that the yorubas are the only symbol of decency in Nigerias democracy. Especially the way they Marshal in favor of Abiola, Jonathan and against the Almighty Obassanjo's third term agenda. Other parts are only groping in the dark. My optimistic view anyway.

St_Black: oga,ur OWN ifa is d one frm saudi arabia not that of yorubaland o,gerrit?

Eze Promoe: [color=crimson]We can beat any team if our finishing is okay. We can play Spain half field in this match. But the question is CAN WE CONVERT IT TO A RESULT IN OUR FAVOUR?[/color]

Orikinla: Before Oduduwa arrived Ile Ife, there was Ifa and he met Yorubas there.
Olodumare is the father of the Yorubas and not Oduduwa.

Lero15: NAIRALANDERs...una no dey sleep ni?

baby_123: Public school in Lagos is free. This is why Lagos is witnessing an even bigger population explosion. Fashola needs to reverse that decision, and make it free for the indigent's.

otele: No where else
What about me? I'm Nigerian, but I'm British born and bred. God bless the UK too

Ahaa, and T&T too. . for ma mummy's sake


Well, good to hear that Nigerian Muslims are fishing out the terrorists hiding in their midst. If only the BBC will also report this for the world to know.

seunlayi: what is the meaning of all this? That means a student can go from Lagos to Taraba to sit for the exam without reading and score 50 thereby qualifying for admission. This is bad bader and baddest.

babyosisi:
Who knew that our presido and his kinsmen are also benefitting from quota like Zamfara people
I had no clue Bayelsa was being outperformed by Benue , Plateau , Kaduna ,Niger states and are performing like Kano state and Adamawa
Tufiakwa
Let me hear any Ijaw person call the north backward.
No wonder militant almajiris full the place
Same mentality

ola_pluto: These cut off marks for Northern students is a disgrace to education, a disgrace to the learned men in the North. This is not encouraging at all. This means that a student who scores 120 in Osun is considered a failure, while a student with 5 in Yobe is on the merit list.
More analytically, any student that can write his name and shade A for all questions in Yobe will pass n merit. Why bother study for the exam?

Luchitec: It is unbelievable that in 2013, this kind of nonsense is still going on. With these bizarre cut-off marks for northern students, what manner of secondary/university graduates are we expecting?

el bin manny: Great midfield, dull attacking options! Only one person can take us far.....that is Vincent Eyeama
