I want to make this warning public ahead of 2027 so that no Nigerian will say they were not warned.


Someone who isn't a Nigerian sent me this and I almost cried reading through his words.


He said and I quote:


Whenever I look at the situation of Nigeria, I just shed tears for the entire black race. I am not black but I have had decades of encounter with a lot of black people from different African countries, and I can boldly say that blacks are one of the rarest breed of humans when it comes to being humane to mankind, but unfortunately, bad leadership at the government level has destroyed the chances of black people ever taking the center stage in global affairs, especially in technology, science, innovation, sports and entertainment. As a Caucasian, I know the privileges I have over other races right from birth. Being Caucasian already puts me ahead of other races, whether I am smart or not, whether I am humane or not, it doesn't matter. Do you know why it is so? Because pure Caucasian nations built a legacy for us from the beginning. The British, the Spanish, the Portuguese, Italians, Greeks, French, Germans, and even Russians. The exploits they did many hundreds of years ago cemented the place of glory and honor for the entire Caucasian race all over the earth. They paid the price that we modern generation of Caucasians are enjoying today.


Do you know that because of few population of Caucasians in South Africa, that is the reason South Africa is a bit advanced more than other black African nations? They enjoy a lot of secret privileges that other black African nations will never enjoy just because of the few Caucasians that naturalized in South Africa but many South Africans of the black race don't know this secret, they think they are smarter than other black Africans like Nigerian people who are super talented and smart.


I am not from the United States, I have lived there for decades before relocating back to my country because nothing feels like home. I can tell you with boldness that in the United States of America, Nigerians are one of the most educated and focused people in that country. I did a PhD program at Philadelphia and guess what? Most of my mates there were Nigerians, just few Caucasians from different countries, you hardly see Americans or Britons. These Nigerian guys were so focused, dedicated and exceptional. One made some new discoveries that won her some huge fund to pursue her research, some private firms partnered back then, I was wowed.


It was at that time, around early 2000s that I started researching about Nigeria to know more about the country because some other friends have told me about Nigerians being smart and also crooked in very interesting way, oh yes, a friend of mine from Belarus told me that some years back. He said if you want to learn unheard crooked ways to make big dirty money in the world, that you should befriend a Nigerian guy and play along with him, that you will be wowed at what these guys can do. My friend said they can compromise any system once they see the opportunity to make money from that system. After hearing a lot of good and bad stories pointing at Nigerian people, I decided to make a trip to Nigeria to know more about the country myself.


It was funny when I couldn't get a visa to visit Nigeria like some other first world countries I have visited, I was like, wow, I thought it was going to be very easy since the country had a reputation of being one of the most corrupt nations on earth with nothing going on inside the country aside some crude oil.


Finally after some months, I secured a visa and headed to Nigeria. I think it was Yaradua that was the President when I first visited Nigeria. I landed at Lagos airport, it looked really chaos on arrival, the cloud was not really looking nice and there were lots of shanty looking houses known with most black African countries, but I was really interested to know more about Nigeria haven heard so much about the citizens.


I spent 14 days in Nigeria, 5 days in Lagos, 3 days in Abuja, 2 days in Calabar, 2 days in Kaduna and 2 days in Benin city.

But when I went back, my friend said I should have visited the Eastern side, so I started making research about Eastern Nigeria then I learned about the civil war, about Onitsha, Aba, Portharcourt and Enugu. So I planned a second trip with a target to visit the Eastern side more. So during my second trip, I visited Portharcourt, Enugu, Onitsha and Owerri, I couldn't visit Aba because of a travel advisory, I had to cancel.


A few years later, I think after the death of Yaradua, I went back to Nigeria and I visited Aba, Abakaliki, Ibadan, Ondo and Kano state. After that, I started a plan to spend some of my vacation in Nigeria just to understand Nigerians the more because I wanted to see the possibility of writing a book about Nigerians, which many first world nation citizens would love to read from a Caucasian person's view.


Later on I visited Accra Ghana, Benin Republic, Togo and Gabon. I fell in love with black Africans the more and if not that I was already married and committed to my marital vows as a devout Catholic, I would have married a black woman, probably from Nigeria or Gabon because I found them more interesting.


After years of studying Nigerians right from inside Nigeria, I discovered that Nigerian people have a great potential for greatness but lacked the leadership cohesion to achieve this. Digging further, I discovered a deep-seated issue of tribal-religious division. The Northern part of Nigeria had nothing in common with the Southern part. While the Northern part lived like ancient Arab countries, the Southern part lived a typical African life of dedication to trade, business, commerce and education. I also discovered a deep-seated disdain for the Eastern Nigerians by the Western and Northern Nigerians. One of the taxi guy that drove me around in Lagos, I asked his tribe, he told me he was Yoruba, he taught me certain things about Nigeria and the different tribes, though I already knew about this but he helped broke it down.


I observed something. Anytime he wanted to say something about the Igbos, he hisses, so I decided to dig deeper one day and asked him why he doesn't like talking about Igbos. He said because they are very bad people. I was shocked to hear that. I dug deeper, so I asked him why does he think so? He said something in Pidgin English that meant he knows them very well and have dealt with them severally, that they are very terrible people that love money so much and ready to sacrifice their entire family members to make money. And he narrates all these with anger, showing he meant every word he said.


He told me they are the only tribe in Nigeria that deal on hard drugs and also do a lot of what he called money ritual, that was the first time I heard about 'money ritual', so I asked him to explain and what he explained was gory you know. But being a liberal minded person that love digging deeper, I didn't just take his words and cancelled the Igbos so I decided to pay more attention to knowing about the Igbos. Unfortunately something similar happened when I visited Ibadan and Kano. All the taxi guys had one bad thing to say about the Igbos and how they contributed so much in destroying Nigeria's image abroad, I felt pity for the Igbos because before I came to Nigeria, I didn't know that it was the Igbos that made most Caucasians I know talked bad about Nigeria. They just classified Nigerians as very corrupt and smart people.


This led me to start researching about Nigerian leadership; I got to discover that the Igbos have only been in position of leadership as the President of Nigeria in 1966 and it was for a few months and through Military mutiny. I began to wonder why the guys I met in Lagos, Ibadan and Kano believed Igbos were the reason Nigeria isn't a great country, this made me develop more interest in knowing more about the Igbos and the Nigerian politics. It was at this point that I realized that the greatest problem of Nigeria is tribal-religious division and a deep-seated hatred for the Igbos of Eastern Nigeria.


In my personal findings, I found out that the Igbos have a more liberal mind compared to the other Nigerian tribes. When I visited the Eastern side, all the interactions I had with the natives over there, including the taxi guys, none of them sounded bias in terms of ethnicity. They were more interested in knowing the country I came from and also pitching business ideas. One even told me that I can come and invest in hotel business that it was a very lucrative business. He told me that there are some hotels in his city that were built by white people like me, that if I am interested that he would help me find a land in good location in the city center, I laughed because it was interesting listening to him pitch business ideas to me.


I remember another telling me that he would love to travel out of Nigeria to study and work. When I asked him why he doesn't believe he would be better in Nigeria, he said the government is corrupt and won't allow young graduates like him in Nigeria get a job without having a connection of some sort, I immediately noticed a difference between Igbo people's assessment of why Nigeria is not working and other tribe's assessment. The other tribes condemned Igbos in the strongest words and blamed them for Nigeria's woes but the Igbos blamed people in government generally and never pointed accusing fingers at any tribe or group of people and they are eager to transact business.


Let me stop here for now so that my message won't be too lengthy for you.


I have made several researches about Nigeria's past and present leadership at the center, that is what you guys call federal government and I can tell you boldly that there is no good future for Nigeria if the current guys in charge continue. I am not proud to say this, European governments don't want Nigeria and most African countries to get it right in terms of leadership and that is why they always back the worst set of politicians to emerge leaders in black African nations. There is this guy called Peter Obi, he is a wonderful guy, I have been researching about him, I have followed all his outings and lifestyle, they are consistent and he reflects the qualities of a great leader, the type that liberated many countries in Europe and Asia. From my personal findings too, he won the last Presidential election held in Nigeria but I think because he is Igbo, the incumbent President at that time didn't trust him enough to let him pull through. Only the Nigerian masses would have fought for that guy to emerge President of Nigeria but again I am sure because he is Igbo, they didn't see the need to fight for him because most other Nigerian tribes from my personal experience believe Igbos are the problem of Nigeria and are not to be trusted.


I see the guy trying to re-contest again in 2027, but the truth is, the incumbent won't let him win, he would use every available means to stop him and only the Nigerian masses can help that guy to emerge against the several odds.


And I sincerely tell you, if Nigerians fail to elect Peter Obi as President in 2027, I doubt there will be another opportunity to get Nigeria on the right track again in the next 100 years. Leaders like this emerge once in a lifetime and when a nation misses them, it takes them centuries to get a replacement.


And when I look at the spiritual side of Nigerian issues, if I am to interpret it with what I discovered during my several visits to Nigeria, I think Peter Obi is on a divine mission. Divinity raised him to emerge from the oppressed and rejected side; the Eastern side for a reason that many Nigerians refused to see. I am a researcher, a deep seeker, I have once been close to being an Atheist, but certain events in life made me realize that life is not just ordinary the way most humans of our time believe. There is spirituality. Yes science is real, but science have failed to prove certain life events of which I will find time to compile for you when next I write you.


I know you are from the Igbo tribe in Nigeria, I am not writing all these to massage your ego, agreed Igbos have their shortcomings just like every other group of humans. In Europe, we have our differences, we have our shortcomings and that was why the first and second world wars were fought and as you can see today, Europe is made up of so many small countries that are not up to 10million. Just as you guys have what you call tribes, we also have that in Europe. Greeks are different from Italians, Norwegians are different from Finnish people. And we realized our differences on time and accepted those differences and structured Europe in such manner.


Until Nigeria gets it right, the black race will never get it right and will never take the center stage in global affairs.


I read about a newly introduced tax law in Nigeria and I felt pity for Nigerians. Nigeria is not ripe for such a law to begin with. The incumbent leadership in Nigeria is trying to copy European tax system, that is wrong, we Europeans don't even fancy the tax system even though it provides a lot of benefits for us. Nigeria have enormous crude oil, why can't the government focus on maximizing that and utilizing it faithfully to built structures and put systems in place, uplift people from extreme poverty, solve the insecurity problems before advancing to this level of tax system? It will only slow down Nigeria's possibility of coming out of the woods.


I have to go now. You guys need to intensify your efforts to elect a more credible and transparent leader in your upcoming election, the world is silently observing Nigeria. The European governments don't want you guys to get it right but many Europeans individually feel pity for Nigerians and wish you guys well, you guys have the potential to become a great nation, those of you in diaspora should work together to sensitive others. Global population is exploding, western country governments will tighten their borders more in the coming years to preserve the dwindling opportunities for their citizens, this will affect black Africans a lot if their governments don't sit up. Wishing you and Nigerians peace and love, gracias.

There is no polling unit on Nairaland and no polling unit in EU , you guys should stop wasting your time on things that dont profit and actually get down to focus on the most important things , honestly.

OredoPikin2:
U called what happened in Abuja free and fair🤣🤣🤣
I pity u
There are countless videos on YouTube of thugs coming to polling units to destroy election materials
That's what u called free and fair 😂
Tomorrow u will be claiming patriotic
U support evil against your country because the people doing it are your favourites?
Continue

Keep deceiving yourself with this narratives of thugs coming to polling units, official observers have give a proper assessment ,not like I expect an Obidient like you to have logical capacity, your online tantrum won't change the results on irev we all can see thousands of irev results that were clear and without mutilation. Like I said keep deceiving yourself

OredoPikin2:
Just tell tinubu to do free and fair election

Tell him yourself, is your mouth and hands tied ?
You guys always want others to do the job for you .
The free and fair LG election they gave you guys to test your capability you ended up bottling it , RUBBISH!!!

FSBoperator:
see this one.

Your bigotry will not make you see this great achievement because its coming from SW researchers.

OredoPikin2:
Obi doesn't even need to go church again.
He doesn't even need to do much campaign.
Let him just be on the ballot and that's all.
You will see millions of Nigerians angry with Tinubu failures so far vote him

Beautiful!!! , please tell him not to campaign, he should go on vacation with his wife while other politicians go on campaign, after the results are out and sowore gets more votes than him, we don't want to hear rigging .

Orlandoo:
At the end you said nothing.

Dry ! Move along , your mental capacity cant process logic .

Orlandoo:
What a new low for CAN! How can you name such

You wanted them to name it after obi who his supporters said will beat jesus in an election and become the leader ?

CAN have seen the light, make I see which church go give Obi microphone next year before election to spew fake stats.

The incident, which was captured on video and circulated on social media, occurred along Whitechapel Road, near the East London Mosque, one of the largest mosques in Western Europe, according to Mail Online.

What are Muslims doing in an area called White chapel, which means there was a historic chapel site there but the greedy UK leaders sold that area off , the UK should be blamed for this rubbish .

EponObi:
Apt!

The way Atiku boys mocked Obi even before the official council election results dropped was sus.

Atiku cut him to size.

Wike got his revenge too for the relentless attack of the obidents the past year - and he deliberately added the "groundnut" comment in his post election speech 😂.

APC has been working to demistify him since after the 2023 election. Obi was a shocker they vowed to never repeat in 2027.

The amusing thing is they keep underating tinubu, because he looks frail, they have failed to go study all the casualties he has handed down to big names such as obj , 2027 is not far , the lesson tinubu will teach obi , obi won't have the balls to ever step out for any election again except when tinubu has crossed to the great beyond.

akpumping7720:
You want to contest for election, you didn't make a locale your candidate. You are banking on Obi's influence.

They have no respect for indigenous people, remember what they did in lagos in 2023?, soon you will hear them cursing the local Abuja people, it's just a matter of time.

Basic123:
The number of people behind computers in that situation room is more than agents on the field!

Which shows that they are more interested in gathering likes on nairaland ans twitter!

Infact,that last girl computer in the situation room was is showing nairaland page

The funny thing is the official adc situation room looked organised, neat and orderly , but take a look at the Obidients room , disorganised, cramped , the TV has no signal, it's a perfect reflection of the online mob .

Now you understand why most governors and politicians would rather port to apc , infact after Saturday's event, more politicians who were undecided before will jump to apc sharply.

Hier:
Una go just dey bring up baseless arguments to justify what's bad. There are proofs on irev that some collation centres doctored numbers. Accrediting ADC votes to APC

How many collation centres were doctored ?was it up to 50%? You guys will pick less than 10% flaws and cry the whole election is rigged , the pdp guy that won was it doctored ? Thank God irev is available to everyone, we all saw the majority of results, we saw evidence of communities rejoicing at the eventual winners, does that look like a doctored election to you .

You are exactly the example Odinkalu is talking about , how u unserious you opposition are , instead of going back to the drawing board to reason out how you lost , you guys are trying to blame the system, the most ridiculous was atiku coming out to spew rubbish about Tinubu and democracy.

Listen to this analogy:
If a lady has 2 suitors , one is an educated guy while the 2nd is just a waec holder but the 2nd guy pays more attention to her and her wishes , goes the extra mile etc , while the first guy comes to her with entitlement mentality because he has PhD so she must fall for him m after all he wants to help her life etc.
Who do you think she will end up going for ?

This is a good leader unlike atiku that was spewing rubbish and blaming tinubu.

A leader who cant make lemonade from lemons but will rather look for who to blame when the chips are down is not a leader but a leech.

I’ve noticed that almost all the POS merchants in my area always have mint ₦200, ₦500, and even ₦100 notes. Yet, I’ve tried several times to get mint notes myself, especially for important occasions, but they’re nowhere to be found.

Now, POS merchants are charging as much as 35% of your money just to give you mint notes.

Imagine paying ₦20,000 just to get ₦50,000 in mint ₦200 notes.

Why is this currency so easily available to POS merchants but so difficult for ordinary Nigerians to access?

I've always been seeing the poster of Shekwolo (I don't know if that's correct) everywhere in Bwari Area Council as the APC candidate up until last weekend. Not for once have I seen this man. How does this work

He must be a grassroots person , I said it before if you have to call obi and atiku to come campaign for you on a LG level then you are really not popular enough and capable to run such a local government.

franchasng:
No you are wrong.


Peter Obi's father was a wealthy man.


His mother too was rich through her own personal trading business.


Obi was born into wealthy family and he built on it.


Tinubu was adopted by Madam Abibatu, which is not a crime, but he was from a wretched background before Madame Tinubu adopted him.


Tinubu's source of wealth is questionable and it only ballooned after he became Lagos state Governor in 1999, so Peter Obi and Tinubu are never in the same league.

Peter Obi is from the noble class while Tinubu came from the hood which is not also a crime but it's unfortunate that despite coming from the hood, Tinubu refused to show empathy for the weak, the poor and the helpless in Nigeria through his anti-people policies and careless actions

Why do you guys love doing this, tinubus source of wealth has never been questionable, even the fbi noted he was earning over 2000 usd as at that time before the forfeture case , he came back and still worked in mobil I have an old uncle who was his work colleague back then . Would you now call a role in mobil questionable ?

kingbee90:
News like this is what Agbadorians love to post, celebrate and comment on.

Post Tinubu's achievements in almost 4 years, NO!
Post how Tinubu is tackling insecurity, NO!
Post how Tinubu is fixing our economy that he spoilt, NO!

Only to celebrate when another Tiff is joining their party of Tiffs.

Agbadorians are irredeemable.

If they post his achievements for you , your brain won't be able to process it as your only yardstick for success in governance is stomach infrastructure and subsidy , that's why no right thinking person bothers to show you his glaring achievements in all areas .

nairalanda1:
Can you help me priase Gawd....lol

And in response...the church at that time was not up to 200-300 people. This was a small sect, not the large religion it is today, but a small sect that at the time to an outside observer was just another sect of the Jewish religion (that;s a long historical discussion, so we leave that there).

That's why they could afford to do all that.

But as the church grew, they had to develop something like a bureaucracy. First off, by Acts 7, deacons were appointed...because the numbers were growing, and help was needed. By later verses, there were some branches of the church all over the world..so one had to write a letter to the main church to see if help was to be got.

I am not here to justify Oyedepo, or Living faith (I even find the church has issues)...but the sad thing is that when a church is too large , and there are members who need help, protocols are drawn up to help such members. The guy ignored all the protocols (unless he has not told us the whole story) and went straight to Oyedepo.

I hate to say this, but assuming you were in Oyedepo's shoes, would you be able to attend to everyone asking for help from your church...or would you direct them to try the appropriate channels....

I don't know, religion may be oppressive sometimes, but this isn't one of those times. There is a reason why we have charitable organisations, for example...

Just one question for you , if the boy was present during the days of Peter James and John and the church had grown such that they didn't handle the affairs of the church physically but this nurse happened to chance Peter on the streets or gathering and cried for help what do you think Peter would have done ?

1. Help him
2. Refer him to the deacons
3. Refer him to the roman government or sanhedrin

Your answer would let me know if you actually understand anything about jesus and his standard of measurements.

By the way remember in his story oyedepo told him to go to lagos bursary not even to any church welfare department.

emoney2012:
It’s not realistic to expect all members to meet in one place when there are millions worldwide. Even in Apostle Paul’s time, how large was his church compared to modern church?

You miss the point , the first place a believer should find help, comfort and satisfaction ( food ) is his local church , that’s the template the apostles set cos thats what they saw from their master jesus.

ERockson:
You attended the church for just almost 3 years and demanding financial help based on period you've been with the church, what about pastors's children that's have been there for more than 20 years. Pastos can not help everybody approaching them for helps. Now that you are nurse and earning money how many people have you have helped financially, how many school fees have you paid for the less privileges.

My only response to you will be from the Bible 👇

Acts of the Apostles 2:44-46 NLT
[44] And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. [45] They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. [46] They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—
