Pidggin:
Insightful post.

Whoever is guilty of corruption should be disciplined but there should be no rationalizing of witch hunting unless we intend to mock ourselves.

PEJ has not been found guilty by a court of law so why all this media crucifixion

Because almost everyone around him at the time he was president seems to be corrupt. First it was dasuki, then deziani, now his wife. His own wife. Especially his wife. She would not be able to amass such wealth unless through his influence. And these are not just meager amounts we are talking about. He has to be the most incompetent leader on earth not to have noticed that all this was happening around him.

Babzilla:
Excuse me
But thats their job.. losing your life comes with the territory. You are paid to protect and if possible die protecting a country. No one is doing us any favours Mr.
besides its a voluntary thing no ine forces them to serve if they dont like it leaving is an option
Its only in naija where there is no professionalism will you see a soldier who doesnt want to die. A soldier who wants to live like a civilian.

True.

TeddyPendergrass:
Wrong. not an insult. it was just meant to be funny.

Heathrow's twitter handle is always giving those kind of responses

I hear.

Bros was once a player. Retired now.

Banku is probably the main reason Ghanaian women have big booty. Don't believe me? go to Ghana and see.

It is JOHANNES KEPLER i find most interesting. Religion will doom the world if allowed to.

Alani86:
We can call it an insult, but it sounds foolish. They actually felt they could play smart, but someone like me won't buy it. How on earth would they have done that to make him happy? Did they deliberately damage the roof? Did they arrange for rain to fall while he would be at the airport? This is what happens when we (blacks) conclude in our heart that they (white) are special brand of humans. Go and check those who come out with the best results abroad (masters particularly)!

This is how to criticize in this situation. "@ management of Heathrow airport; You might not be aware of this, but i just noticed a leak in your roof at the airport today. You might want to get your maintenance unit on it immediately. It looks bad considering the reputation you have". You see what i did? I pointed out a deficiency in their building and made a recommendation on how they could fix it as well as making sure they understood the consequences of leaving the building as it is. Now when someone is pointing out a flaw in your system or what you are doing by making fun of you, how would you respond to it? His bad belle got the accurate response. A well deserved witty, back handed retort. Since the guy is used to bad things happening in Nigeria, they did not want to disappoint him. And Nigerians are a special brand of human beings. You can see how special by the society they have created for themselves.

[quote author=Babzilla post=49420294][/quote]For your mind, you go think say na play she de play.

ATERI:
My point is, we are all capable of being the change we want in our country.

That change is not possible in Nigeria at the moment. Why? Because of the way Nigerians think. You all don't know it but collectively, Nigerians don't think like normal people. Now in other normal countries, you have people who think abnormally too but the normal ones outnumber them. That is the problem in Nigeria. The abnormal ones outnumber the normal ones. One voice cannot change it. They will just kill you.

ATERI:
Are you still a Nigerian, bannee?

What is today? Friday? No. That will be tomorrow when my wife makes Jollof rice. I am only Nigerian when my wife cooks amala/gbegiri/ewedu and Jollof rice. Any other day i am not. The only thing good about Nigeria is the food. Everything else is total rubbish.

nonjebose:
My point is, they goofed the moment they allowed an isolated statement go answered in the most cheeky way possible. Why do you think he experienced that feeling of happiness? The answer lies in the irresponsible response they eventually gave, lending credence to their disparaging attitude towards us

My point is they answered the way they did because the guy was "happy" because of the their mistake/oversight. This was why they said it was intentionally done to make him happy.

Just finished listening to it. It's the same melody and theme they always sing about. Nothing new.

Just famine? I don't think the U.N knows what they are talking about.

nonjebose:
No country is perfect is a truism and incontrovertible. I have always known this ,first hand. I need no one to tell me that. That guy probably knows this too, but was amazed to see this at a point of entry. On a daily basis, we are inundated with how poor our infrastructures are. We normally take them in good faith, because they are evident to everyone. Why would they find it undesirable when it happens to them? Oh, just because he is a Nigerian. No matter how much you try to fix yourself, you'll still remain the brunt of criticisms by the unsparing western media. He did not criticize, but simply raised an observation which the proud could not ignore or accept.

I don't think you read what the guy wrote. He did not criticize, he was happily pointing fingers at another country's misfortune. You criticize something so that the thing becomes better. This is what he said, "For some reason, i was quite "HAPPY" to see a a roof leaking at heathrow airport". Really? He was happy to see another countries mistake/misfortune. And Nigerians have not tried to fix their country. They haven't even started to scratch the surface yet. Show me evidence of where, when, and how they have tried?

ANIEXTY:
I like it when ladies work hard to get their own money instead of depending on men

GOD bless your hustle

In Nigeria. Everywhere else, it is normal.

soberdrunk:
I dont get what all the fuss about this lady is, it seems our bar for celebrating people in Nigeria is 'very low', she didnt discover the cure for any of Nigerias 'many' problems so why should we declare a public holiday in her honour. It is not as if she is doing charity work or helping the society in any way, she is simply doing what she likes and 'getting paid'.......FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WE HAVE SOLDIERS UP NORTH SACRIFICING THEIR LIVES EVERYDAY FOR OUR SAFETY AND WE DECIDE TO SHINE SPOTLIGHT ON A LADY TYRING TO GET PAID!!!?? THE OTHER DAY ON NAIRALAND I SAW PICTURES OF SOLDIERS OBSERVING EID PRAYER IN BORNO AND A "FEMALE" SOLDIER WAS AMONG THEM, NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A "WOMAN" RISKING HER LIFE FOR THE COUNTRY BUT IF IT IS A "BREADSELLER, MECHANIC OR WOMAN DOING SOMETHING WE SEE AS 'STRANGE" IT WILL MAKE HEADLINES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A COUNTRY WITH MORE MISPLACED PRIORITIES THAN NIGERIA!!!

They tried na. They just gave her 100 dollars. At least that's how i bought mine.

nonjebose:
No, mister. I am disappointed that some people are mocking the man for putting his thought into words concerning the unexpected discovery. Western propaganda feed on every negative in developing nations. There is no gain saying Nigeria aviation is pathetic, but such rare abnormalities cannot trivialised by the Heathrow airport authority in such manner

You are the one who believes nothing negative happens in developing nations. There are crimes, dilapidation, and much more. I can't fathom whoever preached that to you. Especially when we have the internet. The point is, Nigerians are quick to point out the flaws in other countries when they should be silent considering how horrible their country is. The frequency of abnormality in the country is almost incompatible to normal standards. And it is normal to them. I don't know about you but if i know i am phucked up, i don't go about criticizing other people. I try to fix myself before i can talk.

awelekiti:
I think I should be the one asking you this. Switzerland is the headquarters of the world I suppose. It's unheard of.

Like I said before, bad things happen everywhere. Would you say it is normal for that to happen there? In Nigeria it would be normal.

Anyone wanna bet that one day, we will see a topic about how a Nairalander found a shinny coin on the ground?

Babzilla:
ROTFLMFAO
Meen this guy s a clown for real. just liked his page on fB
Nice one man

Hehehehehehehehehe

awelekiti:
Don't mind those oyinbos jor. They think they're perfect. I was in Geneva Airport in May where I experienced a blackout, all of a sudden, which lasted up to 5 minutes. I looked round to see the reaction of those oyinbos...to see if they would panic but amazingly, there was calm everywhere, a proof they're already used to it mtcheew!

Did you read what you wrote at all before posting it? Remove the log from your eyes before trying to extract the pebble from someone else's. If it were Nigeria, wouldn't it have lasted two days? The black out i mean?

nonjebose:
It was an insult that does not reduce the potency or gravity of the guy's tweet. I even think the airport mgt should not have made that feeble attempt at humour

You guys have this delusion that bad things don't happen in other countries. It does. What matters is the frequency and the attitude of the citizens. In Britain, such occurences are rare, and also few and far in between. In Nigeria, it would be abnormal if such things do not happen. In fact, Nigerian citizens expect such things to happen. Is this not a country where people thought it was normal to board an airline with a home made ladder? And a former minister, FFK, saying that airline disasters are as a result of witches and wizards?

AZeD1:
This is for those who think complaining on twitter is a bad thing

I don't think you understand the reply. It was an insult.

kushma:
If nah for naija nah better spanking them go give the child and after in brain set well since in they shake.

It wouldn't even happen in Naija. Why? because there probably would be no car to drive off in, in the first place.

Babzilla:
...and nothing is wrong

You need to watch this.
