IbeOkehie:
First are you Nigerian? If so what religion do you practice or profess?

Black Africans can't do better than what they are, they just can't.

Another FACT.

Black South Africans got their freedom in 1990 and are the richest Blacks on the Continent today.

Nigeria got independence in 1960 and is the Poverty Capital of the World.

Oga think about this matter. E get why.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

It is western influence that devalues the naira which spoilt the purchasing power of every Nigerian and causes Nigeria to struggle.

you don't understand their hatred for black people globally especially those in Africa..

india annual budget is ₹48 trillion which is equal to $560 billion ( with a population over 1.4billion people

while Nigeria annual budget is ₦49 trillion which is equal to $30 billion ( with a population of 200million people )..

the point is Western powers claim Nigeria's population is the reason for ₦ Naira's bad currency conversion to the dollar..

but India with a population 7 seven times Nigeria's own is not affected by the same policy that causes Nigeria's bad currency conversion to the dollar..

if you reduce india annual budget to ₹28 trillion similar to Nigeria ₦28 trillion..

india's ₹28 trillion is still equal to $326 billion...

South Africa R2.59 trillion is equal to $138.5 billion due to the whyte boers that stayed there.

the Naira is a weapon fashioned against Nigeria and Nigerians by the Western powers.

IbeOkehie:
Excuses. Why is it that Black African Presidents accept the job of being puppets? Is death the worse thing?

Let me hit on some real facts. Again.

India is a Hindu nation. It was conquered by Muslim warlords. About 20% of the population converted to Islam.

The British came later and conquered India and took over from the Muslim rulers. About 3% of the population converted to Christianity.

Muslims conquered parts of Nigeria and then were followed by the British who colonized everyone. And basically everyone , perhaps over 99% of people in the country abandoned their Native religions and converted to Islam and Christianity. Wole Soyinka is probably the only prominent Nigerian that publicly espouses his Native Religion, in his case Ifa.

It's something strange that EVERY SINGLE elected government office holder or head of the Judiciary in Nigeria is a Christian or Muslim

You talk about puppet Presidents...what of the generality of THE PEOPLE that can't even remain faithful to their own culture and traditions?

Dear Sir, it clear...something is wrong with Black Africans. Here's a challenge I pose to ALL Nigerians...do you know how or why your family converted to Islam or Christianity?
I know my story and it's likely similar to most others and it tells a lot about the quality of Black African Humanity.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Bri:tish devils used muslim terrorists to invade parts of Nigeria before they carried out their own invasion and decided to use a more peaceful approach called christianity since their muslim terrorists were been killed off.

People are faithful to their culture but are called tribalists by people like you.

11doubledee:
This is a perfect example 🤦‍♂️ of the same excuses I'm talking about.
Are you telling telling me as the president you won't make policies and enter agreements that will be beneficial to Nigerians as a sovereign nation just because you want to keep friends or loyalty?
My point is African leaders get their own for body,easily swayed by the hunger amd taste for gratuitous wealth making them lose their sense of duty,obligation, compassion and patriotism.
Is your Governor, State legislature Representative,Local government chairman or ward councillor patriotic enough to be accountable to you?
Let alone those vultures in Abuja.

The governors are the ones messing up.. most of them are in agreement with the president but it does not stop them from uplifting their states they let other states carry their burden since their people will not call them out.

IbeOkehie:
1) I'm aware of the details you've posted about British lack of investment in Nigeria. My mother and discuss this once in a while. She is always full of praise for how the British built and maintained good schools in Nigeria and I'm always telling her they built or provided little infrastructure or services.

My mother was a lucky person with very aspirational parents that got the opportunity. She attended a famous Teaching College before independence. The school still exists today, but it's run down and dilapidated. That's one of the few things the UK built in Nigeria and we couldn't even maintain it.

So yes, I agree the British didn't do much for Nigeria.

Now can you agree that nothing the British did or didn't do can excuse Nigeria becoming the Poverty Capital of the World?

UN or World Bank report last week says Nigeria has the 2nd highest number of malnourished children. What have the British to do with that?

2) A well informed fellow would know about the Lancaster House negotiations. I've already recounted the history in previous posts.

The British sponsored pre-independence negotiations for all parties in many of their colonies. They were mostly held at the Lancaster House. The ground rule was that all major decisions had to be unanimous.

Indians held their own and decided to split into two countries because Muslims and Hindus couldn't get along. That's how Pakistan got to become an independent nation.

Malaysia held theirs and the Malay tribe and Chinese tribes decided they couldn't get along. They split into Malaysia and a new country called Singapore.

Nigeria held it's own Lancaster Conference.

*Awolowo and the Yoruba wanted a SECESSION CLAUSE put into the Constitution.

*The Sarduana and the North wanted to secede from Nigeria.

*Zik and the Igbo insisted the Nigeria must continue to exist in "Perpetual Unity".

Since there was no unanimity, Nigeria remained united. The Malaysians and Indians were wiser than the Nigerians. It's no surprise that that both countries are more productive and stable than Nigeria today. Black Africans simply don't have that THING needed to build successful nations.

Don't blame the British for our own stupidity.

Thanks for a cogent and insightful comment.

God Save The King.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Why can't your mum and the old students association help uplift her school

Any black country that does not have a significant amount of whyte invaders have a bad forex rate so yes it is due to the bri:tish there is poverty in Nigeria and the same bri:tish devils that polluted the ocean in Bayelsa state.

The bri:tish devils wanted Nigeria to remain united so that it would be easy to plunder the resources.

LZAA:
The funny thing is that the people shouting racism here are conc tribal bigots

There is no tribalism in Nigeria.

Stop saying nonsense.

IbeOkehie:
I'm the first to admit that Nigeria is a shithole. It's a terrible country and that's why I made a conscious choice to leave it forever. I'm never going back. My opinion of Nigeria is copiously recorded on this forum.

In wealth, standard of living and HDI, South Africa....and Botswana and Namibia...are much more advanced than Nigeria. No doubt. The reason is that those countries have a substantive or significant number of White citizens who continue to dominate the economy. That's the truth. Left to the Black African people, those countries will become just like Nigeria within 2 generations which is about 50 years. Zimbabwe is proof.

And before anyone shouts SANCTIONS, crude oil rich Nigeria became the Poverty Capital of the World in 2018 and hasn't been under any sanctions since the return to democracy in 1999. So please stuff it.

Kenya is more productive than Nigeria. I've seen Kenyan shirts and other products in mass merchandise stores here in the USA. Simple reason...Kenya has some few White Africans and a substantive Asian citizenry.

The most advanced or highest HDI country in West Africa is likely Ivory Coast and at least up to 1994 and probably today the Civil Service and most major companies there were run by French men.

White Europeans did a lot of evil things to other races, including Black Africans. They've piled up a lot of profit from that. As far as I know, Sweden, Norway and Finland didn't colonize any African or Asian countries and yet have high HDI today.

Black Africans have to admit that Whites or Europeans also brought a lot of good to the Continent. The sad thing is that we can't seem to be able to learn and profitably apply the good parts. It goes beyond technology. I think concepts like democracy, rule of law and property rights and free markets are even more important. It's telling that South Africa and Kenya are the only countries on the Continent with free floating currency.

The FACT is hard to accept. Black Africans can't build high HDI societies without input from White Europeans. I truly don't know what the solution can be.

As to this particular matter, these White South African refugees are likely the poorer segment of the White population. From my readings and research over the years, the Whites of South Africa have the highest living standards among ALL White people in the world.

Which means as the poor Whites leave, it means less job or lower class competition for Black South Africans. The wealthier Whites will remain to keep the economy on a stable footing. That's a win for Black South Africans. If this refugee program turns into a major migration, Trump may have contributed more to South African stability than anyone can fathom right now.

God Save The King.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

before the br:itish left Nigeria, the Br:itish from 1820 - 1960 did not build one university, our number of primary and secondary schools were very low, br:itish did not build smooth roads all over Nigeria , no housing estates, no plans for clean water for communities, no hospitals, no universities, no teaching hospitals, no vocational centers, no power plants, majority of the private companies where owned by the br:itish and they only gave Nigerians clerical work which is what the education system they gave us is meant to produce office assistants.


All the developments you see in Nigeria today from Abuja to lagos to calabar to Akwa-ibom to oyo to Enugu e.t.c are all built by Nigerians, our parents, our grand parents e.t.c the br:itish left Nigeria to rot. Everything you had and have the privilege of enjoying in Nigeria was and is through the hardwork of parents, grand parents, and other Nigerians.

the bri:tish leave the people more devastated than they earlier met them. If not for the hardwork and peaceful nature of our ancestors in southern Nigeria, southern Nigerians will be in poverty because the bri:tish created Nigeria in a way where Northern and Southern Nigeria will engage in endless wars...

after over 140 years in Nigeria.. the british did nothing for Nigeria and Nigerians..

VeeVeeMyLuv:
If there was responsible civilian leadership in Nigeria there won't be boko boko.

Some weaponized drone is worth $90m
How did they to the hands of these terrorists?
Nigerian resources are being channeled towards funding terrorism

VeeVeeMyLuv:
No it is not racist

It is about looking out for your race

Wanting the best for them and caring for them.

Can you say Nigerian leaders genuinely and deeply care for the masses?

If they do, there will never be anything like or close to boko boko in Nigeria.

So until you are able answer that question keep quiet.

This is not comparison with advanced countries,
This is common sense, doing the right thing

Unless you want to tell me that the Nigerian sovereign way of life or brand of democracy means oppressing its people and make them miserable, so therefore no external influence should interfere.

After all these years your brain is just beginning to understand that demo:cracy is of whyte supremacists, for the whyte supremacists and by the whyte supremacists..

welcome to real life, Neo.... your sojourn in the matrix is almost over.

11doubledee:
Most Africans love excuses and like deceiving ourselves.
Bitterness, hatred and revenge is all I see here.
I have always been curious about what actually is in the head of black a man.
The countries being governed by blacks since 40 ,60 years ago how are they doing?
For instance how can a relatively poor country be buying a car of 180m each for numerous lawmakers, like how?

The presidents governing a lot of countries in Africa are puppets and have to show loyalty to whyte supremacy or else they will be assasinated.

ogascomax:
Shouting racist up and down here while people here hating the Igbos in most post here. Nigerians are worst of. If will changed that word tribalism to racist we are worst. Change nepotism to racist we are worst here.

There is no tribalism in Nigeria.

Stop saying nonsense.

hassinho707:
They have built already, but no matter how many they build, they can't cover the entire population. The population in Lagos is very large

It seems you are one of the beneficiaries of the nonsense....

They should keep building more cheap and affordable... there's nothing like "they have built already"...

it is very stupid of LASG to accuse landlords or exploitation since majority of the Landlords are Yorubas then it is very foo:lish of a Yoruba run government to start been anti- Yoruba...

That was how Fashola carried his big head and amended the law to favor tenants due his stupid law tenants can stay in an apartment for 6 months without paying rent..

The state government should build affordable and cheap apartments for rent instead of making noise.

Badgers14:
Burkina Faso are building factories.. Nigeria is building universities after universities..

Where will the graduates work?

One quote i like about the video is..

AFRICANS CAN ONLY FIX AFRICA..

in the 1970s and 1980s some foreign leaders used to come to UI for medical reasons..

Fast forward 2000s till now.. our own leaders even don't want to be treated in a Nigerian hospital.

In Nigeria China owns everything.. they will take foreign loans and embezzle it and tag on a white elephant project that is meaningless to the population.. and that won't be ever completed..

We have Lebanese , Indian and Chinese employees getting paid more than Nigerians while doing the same job.. they don't respect Nigerian workers either..

But again, we as Nigerians gotta do better.... many of us collect money and clean mouth for ground and the politicians will use them for their dirty work..

We as Nigerians sometimes support a politician based on tribe.. some tribe don't want another tribe to rule..

For us to succeed, we must set aside our differences so we can build Nigeria together.

Rubbish..

For us to succeed, we must realise that there is no "us" and let each tribe go and build their own ethnic regions.

there are too many te:rr:orists in west Africa for Nigeria to build such..

U:S and Ch:ina use coal to power most of their countries..

South East Nigeria has one of the largest coal deposits in Africa so coal should Nigeria's main focus..

your name is codemaniacs and you’re seriously considering solar and wind energy to nuclear power

There's coal, wind and sun in Nigeria.

Let the FGN use it to the benefits of the citizens especially coal.

Idiot politicians.


Build a 500MW - 1000MW solar panel facility or windmill facility in every state and the electricity problem is solved.

Meanwhile the same Asians that disgraced the police by giving them money while recording the police are spraying money in the video below.

Emeskhalifa:
Such a shame. A South African posted something good about his country and Nigerians are busy fighting below his post over how bad their country is.

I have never seen other Africans insult, or talk bad about their country at every giving opportunity like Nigerians.
Not even Somalia that is in war for over a decade
Indeed as una leaders be, na so una sef be.

Majority of those African countries have 1 dominant tribe which means they would not talk bad about their countries.

How many Nigerians talk bad about their state of origin

Reference:
The colonial paths of both countries were entirely different. The main difference that has led to a more 'European look' to parts (not all) of SA obviously at the expense of nationhood is that South Africa was essentially fought over by two distinct colonial powers, the Dutch and the British.

When conflict like this happens it leads to a different outcome from when one colonial power establishes sole rule.

For one, the powers invest more to 'settle down and defend' from the other because they essentially had to live off the land to sustain any conflict.

So there is a difference between a colonial master that just wants to 'take and go away' and one that stays to build things for himself out of planning for the long run, for ever.

The good things seen in SA have come at a heavy price of prolonged colonial rule and the sufferings of apartheid that has scarred that country for generations.

Be careful what you wish for.... in retrospect.

PS. If the British had adopted Nigeria (the Niger area) as their own in deed and stayed as long as the 90's, integrating and grafting into the root canal of the country, many parts (the parts they conclaved) will have looked like these be it Lagos, Calabar or Jos....where vestages of the British remain today.

Never..

the Bri:tish would have never ever built Nigeria the way the d:utch did for S.A.

its black South Africans that built the S.A you see today not the D:utch

There is no difference between E:ngland and F:rance towards black countries.

Madrid's policy of buying galaticos may not be sustainable. Truth more players are getting expensive and the good ones are getting fewer by the day.

Why not invest in your academy, this is just reasonable for more profit and sustainability.

There is so much more to bringing jn academy players, I play football manager alot, I enjoy using my reserves and academy alot. Potentials they dey well. Just invest big time in your academy, they will leaern together quickly too.

They have one of the best academies in the world..

it is as big as 1 L.G.A in Nigeria.

We live in a globalized economy in which the essentials are priced in dollars.

We live in a Nigerianized economy in which Nigerian sellers intentionally over price their products.

Some Nigerians use the price of bag of rice in U.S to sell to Nigerians even though the rice is made in Nigeria.

Fake news

The weak naira does not contribute to high commodity prices and soaring inflation.

Locally made commodities are over priced by sellers

Rubbish..

Why not create a Lagos state Artisan agency and give them real jobs.

I disagree, there's more to what happened than what was described.

That people regard light skinned people more is superfluous in this situation, the whole world does it.

where they dragging anything with a light skinned person to be turned back at the Iroort, of course not?

Lets hear the real reason, for them to be turned away from a tourist economy country, they did wrong an misbehaved on being corrected.

When O:ba:ma was president he introduced h:m:osexualism which is anti black, he invaded Ly:Bia that was prosperous and messed it up. He didn't like gej because GEJ rejected h:m:osexualism.
K:a:m:a:l:a Harris wanted to introduce a:bortions in black American communities. She also arrested many black people for minor offences. She sentenced a black woman to prison whose child was missing school because the child was SS genotype carrier.

Mixed raced people don't like black people and when they get political power they become fully anti black.

Cape Verde is filled with them.

aswani:
There is more to this story.

If I have to guess, one or more of the party was carrying recreational drugs of a small quantity (if it was more, they would have gone to court). They were then challenged and one or more of the party responded rudely, at that point the Cape Verdean airport officials had had enough.

Cape Verde needs tourists because that's what their economy is based on. I have a relative who is in the travel industry and she features that country a lot in her WhatsApp status as a tourist destination.

There is much more to this story that has been left out.

Tradepunter2:
Nonsense write up.... I have a EU passport but based most of the time in Nigeria..... Just having that passport alone gives me great satisfaction tht I can leave anytime to cool off my nerves.... I run a business in Nigeria and it's satisfying to make and spend here.... There's nothing mentally satisfying seeing your people suffer... Majority can't afford hospital bills nor good clean environment.... And this is me that reside in a gated estate around ikate area ... I drive out and am just angry cuz the suffering is man made ... So excuse with the bs of having mental satisfaction

xpressionx:
The was you are treated is a reflection of how our leaders treat us.

You were not allowed to speak there,how many people who tried to speak here have been imprisoned?

The way you were denied your rights here,how many persons were denied one of the simplest rights-the right to vote and be voted for in the last elections?

The look at the way our leaders treat us and extend same to us.
But thank God am different,thank God for contact.

Yahoo Boys,drug traffickers, human trafficker etc have ruined our reputation all over the world.

They see us all as criminals first and we can't blame them.


A country were even teenagers can't enjoy innocent relationships anymore, a 16yr old girl is looking for a man to sleep with and take care of her while a 16yr old boy is looking for means to do fraud so he can buy 10m Benz so he can sleep around and smoke/drink all day.

The adults are completely nothing to write home about....everyone is looking for who to play a fast one.


Money Money Money.......no morals and conscience.

SmartPolician:
That's why I always say that both people who support stupid leadership and those who don't support it will pay a heavy price for it. Even the man who leads a stupid government pays a heavy price for it; nobody is spared.

Together, we must learn a lesson!

AustineE1:
The price of bad leadership,ordinarily what should take a Nigerian to Cape verde for holidays,when you have Obudu mountain cattle ranch,Yankari game reserve,Ogbonike cave,Olumo rocks,Kura force in Plateau state but all the mentioned places have been taken over by terrorists or gross mismanagement.
As long as we keep on making the wrong choices every four years,there is always going to be consequences.This is simply a law of nature,we will keep going down drain until we discover oil.

The comment below explains the main reason.

pietrodark:
Cape Verdeans will regard a light skinned person more than a dark skinned person. This isn't entirely about our country or what they've heard. And I'm not even speculating, this is based on real life evidence. A Cape Verdean will give more respect to a fair skinned person. Black Americans and Black Englishmen have been turned away from Cape Verde due to their skin colour.

So if the phone is plugged to an extension and not direct to the socket, its safe to use the phone as its charging during rainfall?

No its not safe.

Lightning strike has spoilt my fan while it was plugged to an extension. The plug where the fan was plugged to in the extension also burnt but other plugs in the extension still work and it was also connected to a wall guard.

occfx:
Unfortunately, autopsy in Nigeria is rocket science. It's possible to electrocute someone through the socket but that's rare. There are earth links in the sockets so how come? Well, in Nigeria anything can happen

When its raining especially rain accompanied by lightning strikes just unplug your devices or use power bank because if lightning hits your roof or somewhere close to where you're plugged in without extension plug then you can be electrocuted while holding a device thats plugged in..

Nefort:
If you are asking that part in bold then I have to stop talking to you because I can see you are not smart enough and worth my time. So it didn't occur to you that people can have investments that can thrive beter in a region outside their ancestral lands which will necessitate their relocation to the region to monitor their investments?

A business that thrives outside of your ancestral land within the same country is not a stable business unless you are in same social circles as those who control the politics of that state....
