There are foes everywhere. Its not tribal. Its class warfare. Simple. Dont get suckered.

it's tribal on nairaland biko. name checkers everywhere. Yoruba and igbo has the potential to be the greatest people in Africa, they are both open minded and money minded that the most important path to success .

princechurchill:
Ondo is a Yoruba state right?

lol, Abeg make una cool down with all this Yoruba & igbo stuff. I'm igbo by the way. the true foe is up north

Debt indeed can be a calamity when it isn't used properly. To paraphrase you "every developed country is indebted". The part you forgot to add was that the citizens of those countries enjoy the dividends from which the debt was invested. I ask you fellow citizen can you boast of not having used your generator for electricity in the last month?
Debt utility is a paradox in Nigeria we make and owe vast sums of dollars but there isn't any evidence of this reflected on the lives of the common man on the street.

I agree with most thing you said, that's what I said about investing in capital projects. about power, nigeria doesn't have enough water ways to construct more hydro power stations so I believe we should go nuclear(many will disagree with me). borrow around 8bn dollars (I can't even believe I typed that amount) and build one, increase electricity bill to #40 or #45 per kilowatt and we can pay for it in 10 to 15years or so. that would add about 2000 megaWatts to the power grid and can supply up to 50million people with electricity. we can have the problem of power behind us, but I don't think any Nigerian president will agree, they hate risks.

it is funny how Nigerians talk about debt as if it is a calamity. every developed country is indebted deeply. the only problem with debt is
1. when foreigners hold most of the debt.
2. when the money borrowed is not used for capital projects that will create future revenues for the government.
3. when government use the borrowed money to pay subsides. this one is the worse .

You are just too s.tupid for words. You are just randomly picking countries at will. What major injustice or strife did singapore as regards oppressive leaders? Do you even understand what we are talking about here? He actually said used Saudi Arabia. I'm losing brain cells trying to educate this foool.

guy, you sabi Wetin go happen, make we end I'm this will never end, we can go on and on all year and non if us will agree with each other. this argument won't even help nigeria in any way. so stay where you are, and try to enjoy your life. have a nice life.

Bollinger:
The question was which country which had major issues changed their history throught peaceful means. You just pulled Australia out of your asss and I asked what major conflict they had. How is this difficult to understand?

I gave you two more, Singapore and Saudi arabia. is coup included in "your" definition of revolution, if yes, then nigeria have experienced many already without much to show for it.
if no, then I have so many more country coming your way.

Bollinger:
Smh. What major crisis did they have?

you just change the argument to suit you. you asked a question and I gave a an answer.....Singapore , Saudi arabia

Bollinger:
Expected line for a nitwit who's lost the battle and starts to look for distractions. Still haven't given me an example of a country which changed it's destiny without bloodshed. #Waiting.

Australia

haba, nah, most countries fought for independence but since you said that independence is not revolution, there so many countries that are developed without fighting the leading class.

Bollinger:
Gbam!! Therein lies the problem. You and people like you are the problem in the country. If someone who is supposed to be the future of the country cannot recognize the country's stagnancy then you all are truly and royally phucked.

lol, where are you from in nigeria exactly?.

Bollinger:
Again; Don't mind me jare. I find it difficult to communicate with individuals with minuscule brain sizes. I'ts very frustrating.

lol, my childish friend.

YeebosAreFools:
Igbos I dey shame for una! Them swear for Una?


An average Igbo man head is filled with Crimes like kidnapping, ritual killings, and drug trafficking to Indonesia where they end up being beheaded.


Useless people disgracing Nigeria!



Lemme continue eating my Mango jare.

I bet some people on nairaland masturbate while thinking of igbo.

Bollinger:
Everybody is better of in the world but Nigerians. Unless of course you want to compare yourselves with the likes of Somalia. Which you should.

come on, don't self hate, you where born here. if you think nigeria is stagnant, then you are not being very truthful to yourself, we are not where we should be but the people (minus the elits) try to make life better for themselves.

Bollinger:
21? You've got time. Time to change this phucked mentality before its too late.

lol, yes, I do have time to help myself become what I want to be. and i dont want to fight for nigeria.
you have been advising all day, here is mine, try, just try to have a conversation without insults, people might start listening to you. you are kinda intelligent but you sometimes sound like you are on drugs, no offence.

Bollinger:
That's the first correct thing you've said all day.

lol, your childishness makes me laugh. and that coming from an 21 year old, I believe you are older.

Bollinger:
This is my problem with you. You see what you want to see. I never said anything about economy when i mentioned Ghana. All i said was Ghana is better of today for what they did in the past to effect change in their lives today. I never said anything about economy. The point was about revolution. Are they perfect? No. But, compared to what they had, yes they are better of. I have lived and worked in Ghana so i should know.

everybody is better in the world today than how they use to be, standard of living is increasing in most countries. even nigeria is better than 10 years ago. so what's the point. 38 years after the revolution, Ghana is still corrupt though not as corrupt as nigeria.

Bollinger:
Don't mind me jare. I find it difficult to communicate with individuals with minuscule brain sizes. I'ts very frustrating.

yeah, I do have a minute brain, but I don't get why someone with brains as big as your don't think.

Bollinger:
What a shame. You are so used to rubbish you don't even know what is good and bad anymore. Smh.

I will not go into economy comparison with you, Ghana had a high ppp and some other aspect that is some other things. but that's like saying that Finland is better than China because they have a high ppp. I don't expect you to understand though, maybe economy is not in your fields of study ( nd it is not an insult).

Bollinger:
You are confused. The difference between the deaths you have seen and are seeing on a daily basis is that Nigerians are just generally blood thirsty and evil and kill for the sake of it. e.g jungle justice. I'm talking about effecting change to better you lives. Name one country that effected change in their history without bloodshed. Are you this phucking s.tupid or are you just acting?

ha, the edgy niggar is back with the insults. you know that people don't really take you seriously if you are always cursing

50 million dollars was recently found in a house in lagos. Before that, an amount close to that was found in a shop. Corruption, which is in the blood of most Nigerians, is the bane of the country because the society fuels it. For example, giving policemen bribes is as normal as breathing in Nigeria. It is as if a child born today in Nigeria has no choice but to become corrupt because of the society he/she grows up in. How do you think these kinds of behavior will stop? Bros the hard choice you need to make as a people is; Do you choose to continue to live your lives the way you have been or are you willing to shed blood through revolution to save your future. If Ghana can do it then why can't you? Ghana is better for it today. Start googling.

I still doubt in where in Afghanistan or Iraq because of the way you talk about violence. I bet that I have seen more violence than you because of where I'm from, I have seen people being killed and trust me, it is not a sight that I wish anyone to experience. i have seen people being shot in gang violence and it doesn't make sense.
well, maybe you can come back and lead the revolution cos I'm out.

if you think life is better in ghana than nigeria, then you don't really understand economics, why I'm I taking advice from a guy in another countries military. Ghana is more peaceful, they ae better than how they where but you have to understand that some big business in ghana are owned by Nigerians.
when you have a choice between fighting for a country that doesn't want to be fought for and fighting for your family, I chose family every time.
after medical school, I will leave the country for greener Pasteur, I really don't give a rat ass about the country anymore, patriotism dies. mine is dead.

Bollinger:
More excuses. You are identifying problems but can't face the fact that hard choices needs to be made to effect the change you want. Carry on.

would you mind giving me an example of the hard choices needed.

Bollinger:
Smh. I remember when i came to America for my bachelors. I still had your kind of phucked up mentality. Things were so hard because i had to work and go to school at the same time. This is not a culture we are used to in Nigeria. The pressure of paying bills, schooling, and working was overwhelming and it started to affect my grades. Guess what one of my professors told me. "if you don't want to prolong your stay in school which eventauly gets very expensive down the road, you need to get your shiit together". Immediately i realized that i was in a society that does not accept excuses. I was making excuses. I had to learn to do what my predecessors did to survive and achieve in other to accomplish their goals. You have a problem, you identify it is a problem and you fix it. You guys are so used to making excuses for yourselves. Who's fault or problem is it if you don't get your shiit right? I can tell you one thing for sure; it's not the rest of the world's problem. You are making excuses as if you are expecting someone else to come fix your shiit. Guy, continue.

excuses, I never make excuses for my failure, I'm currently repeating a semester in medical school and I never blame anyone for that. but you can't see a problem and not call it a problem because you don't want to give an excuse.
let me give you an example, more than half of Nigeria's economy if from the oil in the Niger delta, but the north get a bigger bulk of the budget and they disguise it as special intervention fund. do you think the people recieving this money will want change?. no, statues quo is a better alternative for them right now.
northern politicians own 80% of the oil block. you heard that right oil blocks, this is not propaganda bullshit, it is public knowledge, the constitution support it. their northern brothers support it because somehow, the Monsey tickles down to them, and guess where the oil blocks are, you guessed it, Niger f*cking delta.
nobody can affect change while being the unpopular minority.
in kano state alone, they are 3million almajiris (homeless Islamic school children), ready to be used in any political game.
when the odds are against you, you will just have to find a way to improve your situation and that of those directly around you, that what most of the south are doing.
the north is not to be blamed for the problem alone, we the southern part have to take some of the blame too, for fracturing because of simple and temporal political gain.
simple, if you are not friends with the north, you can't affect change in anyway.

I just don't understand why you only see what you want to see. This is the reason you all are in the predicament you are in. I can just see it. A bunch of brain dead people with your mentality coexisting together can never achieve anything. Hence your lives in Nigeria. The reason the middle east is the way it is is because of religion. Nothing good comes from mixing governance with religion. That is a fact. This is the reason the founding fathers in America were very careful to remove any language in the constitution that would suggest they were partial to any God. Look back at Europe in the middle ages. They were as phucked up as the middle east today. #Spanish inquisition, etc. Fast forward to today. One section of the world has learnt it's lesson and removed religion from state and the other is completely immersed in it. Boom. I just expanded your knowledge again. You need to start paying for this. I doubt if you can afford though.

you still make me laugh with your lack of knowledge about Africa, nigeria is as religious as it gets, the south are Christians while the north are Muslims. the Christian south are more open to change, hence the little development they have while the north are kinda extremists, they believe anything their Muslim priest tell them and their politicians control those priests. so, any development is stop by that mentality. many changes have been proposed but non saw the light of day because the north see most of them as a treat to their religious and political status quo. they also make up 70% of the population. nigeria and African problem are as complex as they come. most of the knowledge I offer you can't be seen on textbook because its an eye witness report. many uprising were cursed before it started. I find it charming that you think you have all the solution to Africa's problem.
again, if you stop the insults you might actually learn.

Bollinger:
You feel that way because you are timid. This is why you are all suffering in nigeria. You don't know how to fight. You come at me and I will take you out by any means necessary. I've been trained to do so. You all need to start fighting for what you believe in.

lol, is that what you think. that's why you are a soldier, you are born to take orders, nothing wrong with that though, just that sometimes , you just get used. many people here share the same die hard mentality with you but you have to understand that not everybody is crazy. again, I will use middle east as a case study, they have not achieved anything other than the death of almost half a million people. south Sudan tried it, now, they are the poorest country in the world and people are dying from starvation.
maybe if you stop all the insults and think with you brain. you might realise that since WW2, conflict haven't really solved any problem.

Bollinger:
Really? Now all of a sudden you have amnesia. You were the one who doubted my courage. Now, when faced with the truth, fear grip you. Just like the average Nigerian.

P.s. I just asked my soldier to pose for you.

I'm impressed really, but you are still edgy and a little bit childish, but I'm impressed.

Bollinger:
I have regular sex. Do you know why you don't believe? It's because you are limited in your opportunities. You have nothing to look forward to and because of that you genuinely believe everyone is like that. If you knew half the cool shiit I've done or being to half the places I've been, you'd kill yourself.

chill mehn, you almost sound like a baby. nobody asked about all the things you just said. chill, take a deep breath, maybe smoke some marijuana and go help your life.
you my friend are edgy.

Bollinger:
Not the way I would do it. It will be pictures with my hands writing beside it. Even a re.tard like you will be convinced.

I hope you masturbate while thinking about how many times you say r*tard in a day.

Bollinger:
You need real time pictures?

no need, I'm cool. anybody can get a military picture. welcome to the 21st century.

Bollinger:
**Drops mike**

lol, I'm still laughing about the Afghan thing. lol. Nigerians.

Bollinger:
Haven't I said it before that you are too re.tarded to understand? Let me try this again. Your lives are miserable because you are like children who want to be led like sheep. You bury your heads in the sand hoping and praying that freedom will miraculously fall on your laps so that you don't have to fight for it. The weird part is you are the architect of your own predicament because you put the people oppressing you in the positions they are in today. You claim to he powerless in changing the status quo upon which I gave you an example of a country whose ordinary citizens changed their own outcome. I just showed a 12 year old kid what I just wrote. He understands. I can guarantee you won't.

smart niggar, yeah, you win, I hope to hear about your revolution on radio and tv. bye
