Anytime your eyes are opened to see the kind of sight you saw,
always learn to listen to the spirit, there are words of instructions that goes with such,
you have a role to play in salvaging the world, its our collective responsibility to respond to the leading
of the spirit of God as we are shown things that needs to be taken care of.[/quote]What the hell is he talking about?

[quote author=Care-Taker link=topic=511369.msg6730877#msg6730877 date=1284126417]In as much as i see reason with you for alot that you have mentioned here,

I wish to state categorically that the pastors are primarily not responsible for the welfare of the two or more boys/people you see/saw languishing in hunger/poverty. I do not know if you stopped to give a little assistance to the people you saw picking things from the floor and eating, if you didn't, then who do you suppose will?

The government, is the one responsible, primarily for the welfare of the populace, if they fail, blame them first and then blame yourself also as you would the rich, the super rich and the wealthy.

Extortion: men are talked into giving to the pastor for his use at his discretion, our government officials do not just extort, they still the money that belongs to the poor masses, meant for the up-keep of the two boys you saw and many others like them.

I have a lot to say but can't continue for now.[/quote]Agbaya. You really are a confused old man. what nonsense are you talking about here? do you even read through your write up before you post it? we are talking about pastors fleecing their flock and you are talking about blaming govt. talk about being senile.

coldhearts:
thanks for the insult, you must be my supplier . China's involvement in USA is what brought about major constructions of railways and aided in many developments already going on in the USA back then ok. Maybe if you tried other than sidon look (including all our ancestors) maybe we won't be needing china huh.
Right now, we need them and sure a few will take advantage but that is reality; reality is often bitter. Tell me what evil in the past did china ever do to us?, (if any it cannot be compared to the west). Now tell me what evil did the west do to us, in fact after pilaging us, they ridiculed us but that is the past and i honestly don't care about it much less blame anyone for it. You must learn from the past and you must recognise when you have no choice too.  Right now i'm not sure we have many choices here.

China is moving fast and if we stay by ourselves without moving with them we'd still be robbed . Wake up already

---------------------------------------------------------------
i finally graduated from sidon look to sidon type

Are you sure you are current with what is happening with the Nigerian employment/industrial situation?

coldhearts:
There's a lot of truth in what obuekwe is saying but that doesn't change much now; you cannot blame a thief for stealing from you if you couldn't defend yourself properly nor act wisely.
Our fate is our own hands ultimately. Also i think we'd do well and go farther with china and all of the east right now. However, if we go along with the west, we'd have ourselves to blame in the long run cos they don't help you for nothing and why should they? they owe us nothing and we owe them nothing. The west might be nice now because they have a lot to loose in terms of oil and mineral resources but should they get the upper hand again, our sufferings will most likely double.
In the long run, when and if we do achieve successful growth economically and so on, east, west, africa won't matter, we'd all be thesame but till then we need to go fast and that can only happen with the east i think.

Another smoker joins the club. My guy, as human beings we are inherently selfish. Nobody/nation does anything without self interest in the equation. the duty of govt, of any responsible govt for that matter is to pursue the betterment of it citizenry, society and nation as a whole. whose fault is it that nigeria, nay, africa as a whole cannot play the game. some come here talking crap about how wonderful china is forgeting that chinese companies come here and do exactly what these fools complain about USA. They exploit us and take the proceeds back home. until we stop blaming others for our problems we will never progress. Denial is a decease.

Africason:
@ Gbawe

Describing myself?! You Gbawe and loads of Nigerian folks believe that most things revolves around you. Reality check my broda. . . Absolutely nothing revolves around you. Well, am neither full Ghanaian nor Nigerian but have been around loads of Ghanaians and Nigerians to notice that Nigerians always 'Big up' themselves wherever they happen to be. Ignorance, Pompousness and Arrogance is the order of the day when it comes to most Nigerians!  Do you think the problems Nigerians had and continue to have in Sud Africa is by coincindence? Most Nigerians got stinking attitudes and that needs to be curtailed.


Well, I haven't been on this board for that long but have realised that anything Ghana on this board irks you Gbawe, and you're always on it like a flea, and that is despicable to say the least. Look, Mr., Ghanaians are enforcing their law and that regulation is not perculiar to Nigerians alone. It behoves all foreigners on that land to adhere to that regulation and that include personnel from the ECOWAS states. If you perceive Nigerians are being victimised then am sorry, as I said earlier, you must be living on cloud-cuckoo-land! Stop being delusional and realise that that law applies to other nationals as well.

On the subject of the BRT scheme and asking whether I even know about that programme smarks mischief. It  sparks arrogance from you. How long has the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) scheme (called Bus Lanes and Bus garages in London) in existence for in London? There's a saying that 'Ideas are Like Kids' Its never unique in it sense, bros! So did you copy that BRT idea from somewhere else?  Now get a grip my bruv. . . I even shy 4 u bringing this BRT scheme into this rebuttal. Could you name me any official that might have come to Lagos to copy that BRT scheme idea from Fashola?  That programme is very prevalent in Europe so I wonder how you arrived at that conclusion. . .

Ouch, 'tu che. I dont like deceiving myself; the bolded statement is a valid point

Abrantie:
Nigeria, your people are dying of cholera. A disease which is an indicator of extreme poverty and lack of sanitation accumen of a country. Please first open up sanition supplies stores in Nigeria. Then after you're successful, come to Ghana with $300K.

As much as i hate you Ghanaians that was well deserved. Nigeria's situation be like pikin wey no wan accept home training. so na outside de go don train am come.

EzeUche22:
He is clearly speaking the truth.

Brazil's president did say that about how the World's biggest financial crisis was started by blond hair and blue eye people. Was he wrong? People of color did not start that nonsense.

This is not right. you obviously are smoking what obuekwe is smoking too. you guys are just too selfish. i want something as well to smoke that will make me forget my problems and blame others for it. Its not fair ooooo.

i hope to God they continue like this. This, for them is a recipe for disaster. can anybody say "area boys"?. This is the begining of the downfall of a society. so let them hang themselves. GHANA I BEG CONTINUE JARE. Hang yourselves.

obuekwe:
Brazil's president Lula da Silva himself correctly stated that the biggest financial crisis in world history was started by people with blond hair and blue eyes. He smartly steered his country away from the countries where those "people" are from and has led Brazil to its strongest GDP growth yet by simply changing Brazil's focus to the countries that really count in the 21st century

what are you smoking? must be something new. i'd like some. it's obvious it can take me as high as you are and make me dellissional.

I think IBB is the man for this country. He has demonstrated that he is trust worthy and !!!!! yeeeeee!!!! what am i saying? IBB's apologist are using juju on me oooo. DEATH TO IBB AND HIS COHORTS. Yes, thats more like it. 

orangemen:
@hamid o,
pls tell me, what is there to learn? bode george stole over N100B and was sentenced to 2 yrs in paradise(jail). 75% of nigerians are ready to go and spend their lives in prison for N10m so with N1b involved, i will prefer to live in jail for ever and ever.
the truth is that nothing is happening to the corrupt ones so others are stealing.
those who are taking these men to court are as corrupt as these men if not more.
we only have noise making ppl as corrupting fighting agents.
the police who is the law enforcement agent in nigeria is the most corrupt group. the executive arm that is supposed to interprete our laws have failed woefully in their inordinate ambitions to loot this country dry while the judiciary are just like toothless bulldog.
in a country where thieves are worshipped like kings, who will not like to be a thief.

point of correction; the judiciary actualy interpretes our laws and the executive implements/executes them. herein lies the problem. the checks and balances put in place to prevent each arm of govt from going crazy have dissappeared. Just saying.

you must like being single

what happens when a society faces anarchy, chaos and potential disintegration? people go crazy and start to loot. much like what our leaders are doing right now. our leaders already see the signs and are saving up for a rainy day.

as if we need experts to tell us that.

Theblessed:
[b][size=18pt]Goes to show these people have no clue about Democratic processes therefore, don't and will not respect Democracy whether they are democratically voted in or via their rigging style of our elections, it doesn't matter. 

These people should not be allowed to contest any official positions at all rather, remain electorates/voters that's all. Otherwise, they will continue to contaminate our democracy and electoral processes with their corrupt political beliefs and values

Imagine the above comment? "Igbo deserve to produce a president in 2015". Who does he think he is, patronising us Does it look to any one, this man respect democracy? And how could any one vote for such a person or even those he support/support him? 'Birds of feather' they say flock together, isn't it Politically, this is what kept this country from moving forward. People like these who should be ban from our ballot boxes.

Imagine, the honourable position of Presidency in Nigeria these days is like, pass a parcel. Perhaps, he wants to pass the baton of Presidency to the Igbos without the contestant WORKING HIS A R S E off for it which is normal.  JUST GO AND ASK PRESIDENT OBAMA HOW TO DO IT and do it "NEAT" - that's the kind of Presidency contest we Nigerians need and deserve for our blessed country and not your kind Mr Atiku, thank you!!!!  

Even with your seemingly sympathetic and good intentions for the Igbos (I hear!! ), how could a group out of over 200 different tribes with their different languages produce a president on its own for the whole country, I wonder? Or does he mean getting there via their well known means - STUFFING ALL THE BALLOT BOXES AND CLAIMING, WE poor souls VOTED, eh? Is that what he meant? We don't need it, thank you! 

God willing, President Goodluck will give Nigerians back their treasured democratic rights, once again.  And God will punish anyone that messes it up again.

Once again, thanks for your sympathy for the Igbos!  We can do without that if only now, that you lot remembered that Igbos are part of Nigeria and deserve to be respected in their own country, that tells about your lack of conscience and a man without it well, too bad ![/size][/b]

Do you want to traumatize us?

igbo boy:
onye ara for sure

Need i say more?

Adaptive

Onlytruth:
And we will be there to take over when they leave.
Who are people trying to deceive here? It has been 40 years since the end of the Nigerian civil war. There has not been an Igbo president. You guys want us to wait another 40 years?
You must be smoking some strange ganja.

And you wonder why the igbos have never ruled. I will tell you what most are thinking but do not say out loud. Politics is not your forte. too agressive on issues. everything na fight. industry and commerce yes; politics no. too tribalistic. nepostistic to the core, although all nigerian have that trait but for the igbos it's over and beyond. until all these traits are addressed i fear that the presidency with be just what it is for now: a dream. DEAL WITH IT. i for one shudder at the notion of an igbo president. complete recipe for disaster.

It should be funded through whom it has always been; THE HIGHEST BIDDER.

REALITY101:
I have no sympathy for any drunk driving bas.tard Better the drunkard die alone than killing the poor innocent people on the street/road. I wish him speedy recovery and lesson learned if at all,

true talk. why would someone drive under the influence. as far as i am concerned, it is same as wanting to commit murder/suicide. God i wish e go try am for here. Automatic felony charge.

pro01:
Nairaland oh Nairaland, lol. The only place where young and well educated Nigerians (and naija-leaning aliens) feel free to live out their innate belligerence and pristine animality. . . The 'burden' of cosmetic decency imposed by society can be conveniently jettisoned here, much to the relief of most of us who subconsciously seek avenues to indulge our animal instincts.

Nairaland oh Nairaland. . .where a simple thread ALWAYS degenerates into carnage and blood-bath. I'm lovin' it!

kai!! you too much. if i were you i'd change my id to PROF 101

Nigerian mentality. I will continue to shout it till i am hoarse. until we change our mentality collectively we will never progress. food for thought; have you noticed that it is people with major issues who like to identify with someone elses success while the person/thing they are identifying with does not even know they exist? the guy de live im life de go without looking back or even knowing if nigeria exists. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

^^^ Omo stop wasting your time. I have learn't that most Nigerians know no better and so the status quo is the best for them. Any attempt to say otherwise makes you a demon.

ROSSIKE:
You're talking of kidnapping, affecting maybe 0.000001% of the Nigerian population. He is talking of SOMALIA, where there is no real government in place, let alone police, where people walk around armed, even children. And war shatters the dawn of every home. Yet you will never hear a Somalian speak of his country with the spiteful disdain that PAMPERED NIGERIANS like you will readily blurt out to the first stranger.

first of all slowpoke, i dont give two f.ucks about somalia. second stop talking about things you dont know. how many somalians do you know personaly? i know plenty and they do not delude themselves about their country. you should hear them talk. you really are 12 years old. you just blurt rubbish without thinking.

Beaf:
The bolded is the core of this thread. The topic isn't about if Nigeria is developed or not as you have been arguing. No.
Its about the OP slagging off Nigeria traitorously, even to total strangers and then coming to confess here like he is ill or something. Its all here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-504105.0.html#msg6647416
I have never met any foreigner that talks negatively about their country, even Somalians. So why would Nigerians talk like traitors if not for small mindedness, low self-esteem and zero morals? The country might be doing badly, it can even be hell, but certain discussions should only be held between Nigerian sisters and brothers. Anybody doing otherwise is a traitor.
A dog is a dog.

i must confess i used to think like you (thank God that period of my life is over) r.a.pe is not only when your body is defiled, it also is when your mind has been mangled to the point of delussion. there is a difference between patriotism and stupidity. if you like say all the so called good things you can conjour up. the truth is there for all to see. things are getting worse and you are talking about good things. kidnapping is now the rave of the moment and you act like it is normal. i understand sha. you know no better. ignorance is your excuse. you have never felt or known true freedom. i pity you.

Ranoscky:
Care Taker

I believe u jare!

Even if Nigeria was as organised as US back in d days, doz nigerians in d US army would NEVER join d Nigeria army!

That is exactly the point. I live where i live and do what i do to better me and my family's lives. If Nigeria had gotten it's game together nobody would go anywhere. I'd rather die giving my family a guaranteed future than live a life of uncertainty. not having an idea where the wind would blow for my children.
