Only in Lagos and other SWestern states u see this bulll-shitt

A Nigerian goes to an American financial consultant's office for help because he always never has funds even though he was well paid. After an hour of talking with the Nigerian, he told him that he needed to make better life choices. The Nigerian man did not understand. The consultant stressed that the man needed to plan properly for eventualities. The Nigerian still did not understand. Fortunately, another Nigerian working as a consultant in the same company was walking by and he overheard the conversation and told the consultant that he could help better explain. The Nigerian consultant looked at the guy dead in the face and said "your people for village de do you. You need to go back home go beg the witches and wizards. Dem don curse you. Then go church go pray make God protect you". Instantly the Nigerian man was like, "I talk am. My grandmama na winch and took of running". The Nigerian consultant looked at the American consultant, who understandably was shocked, and said "if you want to explain anything to a Nigerian, just add "curse", "witch" and "God". Trying to explain things logically is a waste of time.

If we want to criticize let us criticize with honesty and intelligence...did corruption just start today??is it last year that corruption just started??

ever since the ex president rejected the same sex marriage proposal by the so called Cameroon abi na Cameron,Cameron just keep showing his hatred for Nigeria...

And Cameron lied. That son-of-a-bitch. Nigeria is not corrupt. We are a shinning example of honesty.

doyinisaac:
You can abuse them for all you like but david Cameron just insulted your country but because of politics you don't mind to sell your country just to score dumb political cheap points....

it is easier for an elephant to enter inside the hole of a needle than for you to write sensible comments...

How is it an insult if it's true?

Nigerians just don't like hearing the truth. What Nigerians know is their reality but refuse to accept it. Mind boggling.

DONSMITH123:
Good Job.

No it is not.

ganisucks:
Can this President be real for one second. The British Prime minister, who W̶̲̥̅̊åS̤̈̊ by the way expressing a callous opinion, said that Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ, I A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ everybody in this country is Fantastically Corrupt. He wasn't ambigious, neither did he say it W̶̲̥̅̊åS̤̈̊ only the previous administration that W̶̲̥̅̊åS̤̈̊ corrupt. ΨђåƮ is wrong with this guy, is he slow or ΨђåƮ. Mr President, quit this ignorance game, A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ come up with a better response, instead ☀̤̣̈̇f this Kindergarten PR work, Please.

Unfortunately for Nigerians, when you fail to accept the truth, the truth will be forced down your throat.

omonnakoda:
This business of rights of others as the ultimate test of culture is funny and naive.First the rights have to be defined in law.For centuries blacks had no rights in America so there was no question of impinging on their "rights". What rights do Palestinians have?What rights for Aborigines or Native Americans?
You use Western logic and frameworks showing no understanding that there ARE ALTERNATIVES. You reason at a very high level,for an undergraduate. But at some point you need to graduate to YOUR OWN ideas and thoughts.
It is a recurring theme that the least knowledgeable are often the most opinionated

Like I said you are too used to it so it is not a problem for you.show me a culture that infringes on the rights of others in today's world.

omonnakoda:
First what is culture. Pornography has to be part of culture before it can be a business. Define culture?# It is not a business in Nigeria or much of AFrica and the reason is because it is not part of culture in Africa. With much respect you do not seem to understand the word culture,certainly not in a scholastic sense.
Leaving that to one side, You say the culture is barbaric . That is an emotional one and I take you back to my earlier post and to cultural relativism.How do we decide what is barbaric. First you must define it. Is bull fighting barbaric,is incest barbaric is boxing barbaric is gay marriage barbaric?

You use a western framework to define what should be a good culture .This is really a sad example and illustration of the degree of how our people are brainwashed.Anyway my point was not that Oro is good or bad but that there are objectionable cultures EVERYWHERE and the fact that we have some is not unique and therefore not grounds for self loathing or self denigration. In time when culture lose their usefulness they are discarded . The use of terms like Nigerian mentality are not only unnecessary and inappropriate they reflect a profound lack of self identity and completion of spiritual colonization

I wonder why you still don't get this. Or you just don't want to because you are so used to this. Any culture or norm that infringes on the rights of others should be done away with. Anyone can worship whoever or whatever they want but it should not affect my rights as a citizen.

LawFight:
mama,don old o,but she is not bad

She is a beautiful woman. You should have seen her in her teens. Damn.

sodiksan:
what's your definition of better way? the people of China don't believe in either Islam or Christianity and they happen to own one of the best economy in the world, Mr man everybody has dere own believe, don't crucify or condemn a man for his believe, am a devoted Muslim, that doesn't mean I should crucify people because they worship whatever they believe in. don't let your religion doctrine make you think others don't have right the same way you choose whatever religion you practices

Show me a traditional culture in China that infringes on the rights of others. The people conducting the Oro festival are not the police nor does it have the legal backing of the law so how and why should should they infringe on others rights. Anyone can worship whoever they want to, but should not affect the rights of others.

omonnakoda:
You talk about mentality but you do not offer any reason why it is wrong other than visceral emotive stuff and the assumption that the rectitude of your convictions should be clear to all. There are cultural practices that are abominable all over the world so do not denigrate Nigerian mentality,if you have a point make it.

I will give you a simple example to illustrate the point. P0rnography is legal and so commonplace now in the West that many do not question it. Without offering my own view there are cultures that find this bizarre. The issue at point is cultural relativism and a need for own culture to impose its quirks as normal but there is no SI unit of what is normal it is really a matter of choice like choices to permit bull fights in Spain or even boxing around the world. In Germany it is legal for siblings to have sex

Some may find boxing more objectionable and one cannot agree on intellectual grounds. These are emotive issues let us not pretend that there is anything intellectual going on when gay marriages are legalized. Societies make choices that other societies reject that is the diversity of human development we do not need to denigrate ourselves for our own particular set of quirks. I would rather have Oro festival in Ikorodu than Gay marriages

Lol...Bros is comparing pornography, a business, to a barbaric culture. I thought he was going to give examples of actual cultures. None of your examples indicates threat to life. Oro festival does. Any culture that infringes on the rights of others is insane. The true concept of freedom is alien to you anf a lot of Nigerians, which is why you don't understand.

sodiksan:
if what they are doing is wrong don't just say it here, am not happy with it as well, I wish am close to ikorodu presently notwithstanding you can find your way to ikorodu tomorrow and tell the organizers of the festival things you expressed on this thread am very sure they will welcome your idea. MURUNGUS

And that ladies and gentlemen is the reason the Nigerian mentality is so phucked up. They have been so used to absurdity that it is now normal. I feel so sorry for you though. You have never experienced nor seen a better way so everything is okay to you. Ok. Carry on. You will chop the ponmo eventually.

MrMcJay:
Tell that to the Queen of England. England is far more developed than wherever you are from. Or is the Queen not a traditional title also?

There's culture and there's insanity. What kind of culture restricts movement like this? Show me anywhere else it is done.

DONSMITH123:
and you think Ghana is safe too abi. No place like home my dear.

It may not be safe, but it is a million times safer than Nigeria.

Adebola02:
It's hightime this evil rites is stop, imagine in this century lagos one of the most populated city in nigeria place under one oro curfew. They should do their evil in the midnight instead of restricting movement.

That's too easy. We need to get rid of the Emirs, obas and chiefs and the traditional titles they occupy. No country can move forward while holding the barbaric coat tails of the past.

opey25:
what have you done to make our cities look like the ones in Germany?

See what I mean? You don't do this in a normal society.

opey25:

I try my best not litter the streets. I also try to educate you to change your mentality. When your mentality changes, Nigeria also will change.

FanYogo1:
Just google pictures of Imo and Aba, the picture you posted look 10x cleaner than what you'll find online. Stop making noise.

The pictures on this thread is the modern Ibadan and currently undergoing development.

You still don't get it. Even if it were the states you mentioned, i would still have the same view. Why do Nigerians like comparing themselves with the bad and not the good? What happened to "I hope we get our cities to look like the ones in Germany"?

EgunMogaji:
Thank you a thousand fold.

I am from Ibadan and I will never use a night time picture to justify my city.

A few meters from that same Challenge roundabout was a human corpse for about 5 days. I called a Policeman who was at the roundabouts attention and he told me to go away. In fact I was told that I was lucky not to be questioned for the death.

Ibadan is a dirty nasty place, mostly, sure there are a few pockets of graceness in GRAs, etc but let's be frank with each other.

When we face the issue then we can solve it. I am not an Ibadan indigene that's like an Ostrich with his head stuck in the sand.

Like I said in my signature, if you're from Ibadan and what I wrote bothers you then put some poison in your amala and eat it

Can you imagine?

FanYogo1:
I don't care what your business with Aba entails. I am simply correcting you. Aba is the dirtiest city in Africa. How are the pictures misleading? are they not in Ibadan? Are the pictures not beautiful? Abi na your father build am for Iboland?

Lol.....The number one problem with Nigerians is the inability to face the truth. This is why it's condition has not changed for over a half century. Little things dazzle you all too much. I can't help you if you don't know the difference between a photohoped image and one in real time. Plus, why is it that when showing pictures in Nigeria, it is always from the good parts. Every city in the world has slums but Nigerian cities are more slum than city. The sooner you start pointing that out the sooner you can start changing things around.

P.s I ain't Igbo.

FanYogo1:
Which truth? You think Ibadan is Aba, the dirtiest city in Africa?

While Ibadan is growing and developing, Aba stays dirty.

What is my business with Aba? The point is those pictures are misleading. We all know Ibadan is not like pictures indicate.

Category1:
[size=13pt]largest slum in west Africa [/size]

Lol....I was just thinking the same thing. People just post nonsense forgetting we all know the truth.

"If a person’s blood is tested for cocaine or other hard drugs 24 hours after use, nothing may be found in such a test. The same thing applies if it was a urine test; after 4 days of using such drugs and you go for a test, nothing may be found".

Yeah right. Whoever said the above quote should be shot. Substances like cocaine and marijuana can remain in the blood system for up to 2 weeks. In my organization, we get tested randomly for such substances every year and woe betide you if you are caught.

Did you all hear that? The assailants waited to make sure he received no help. Can you imagine? You know why they had the balls to do that? Because Nigeria is a lawless country.

olagamalin:
Can we just close for the day

That picture though. It goes to show that some people are disadvantaged from birth. No wonder he is prison.

From the comments alone you'll know Nigerians are not normal.

bukaldrinio:
Na all these bankers sleeping around all in the name of marketing...........I think the man couldn't control it any more

Nice comic book analysis.

chiefolododo:
Shame on her, she cannot endure

Marriage is like being employed in a company. If you are not happy in the organization won't you quit and find a better job? You would "endure" abi?

TPAND:
What do we make of a country's economy when her states are in serious financial distress and mess.
Merger and acquisitions of state seems to be the way out . Lagos can afford to acquire Bayelsa and Ekiti
Delta and Rivers can merge

Are you high?

whirlwind7:
Here's a wet dream I have been experiencing lately....

Imagine that the country has been clearly delineated into the original six Geo-political zones, with each zone contributing the best of what it has been known for, prior to independence.

SW: region was the powerhouse for export produce such as rubber and cocoa. Just this region rivaled Ghana and Ivory Coast in cocoa production! Don't forget the gold and limestone deposits!
SE : region noted for palm oil and commerce. Folks from this enterprising region knows no limit when it comes to trading. Integration was never their problem. Add that to the coal deposits.
NC : held sway with food crops such as yams, tomatoes, onions, beans, groundnuts...you name them. Add that to iron, tin and other minerals!
NW: was noted for quality hides and skins (leather) and cattle
NE : Noted for cattle, hides and skins
SS : Fishery, rubber, oil palm produce.

We got oil, we got independence, and we all lost our senses! The Black Man mentality got us in a choke hold. For how long are we going to practice a system of government that hasn't lifted us out of this quagmire of over 50 years? Don't people get wiser anymore? Regionalism is the way to go.

Well, since the bulk of our political leaders have suddenly gone deaf and dumb over the issue of the rampaging herdsmen, we are not to eat any other food except beef. Fried meat for breakfast, barbecued beef for lunch, and go to bed chewing a strip of kilishi.

I am totally fed up with a country that doesn't know a true and immediate danger when it's around the corner. If any other people except the Fulanis were wrecking this havoc across the country, the northern oligarchs would have fully armed every almajiri to lay to waste the rest of us.
Somebody should tell Bubu that ranching doesn't require a genius. Even stark illiterates can score A+ when it comes to this very simple concept of animal husbandry.

Nice analysis but you are mistaken in one aspect. No amount of solution will be effective if Nigerians don't change the way they think and do business. Little things like littering, stopping jungle justice, respecting each other space, etc. There are steps to being a great nation. The way it's citizens think matters a lot. As it is, Nigerians act like animals so nothing you proffer will work. Can you rationalise with animals?
