quit fantasizing and face facts my friend. Are you referring to the same soviet union america broke up during the cold war? Dont you know georgia, ugoslavia, ukrain which is at proxy war against russia right now and other member countries which made up the soviet union are now american allies? Not to talk of NATO members, japan, south korea, israel etc. Which powerful allies does russia have? Is it north korea that is being ravaged by hunger or china who's military is not even capable of facing japan alone, or is it iran that israel will wipe out in a twinkle of an eye? Russia wont stand a chance if they dare take that path.

If you think any country would risk her neck for america in a possible nuclear conflagaration with russia, then you must have overestimated human stupidity.

bright007:
different strokes for different folks. To think that Nigeria where her citizens are strolling out in their numbers daily for greener pastures is where these guys are coming to.

Well, "greener pastures" is relative.

madridguy:
Do you know what you are saying @ all ?

I think you should be asking yourself that question.
Return to the good old days indeed.
If the days when buhari was declaring the NMA as an illegal body ,people creating very long queues for basic commodities,with soldiers sent to markets to enforce artificial price stability due to very high inflation rates is good to you, then you must really be a masochist.

To think that there are people that advocate a return to the 80s is shocking.
Idiotts who don't realize how much this country has lost due to the likes of buhari.
When brazil, india and singapore were strengthening their democratic institutions and setting the foundation for their present devt, the likes of buhari was sharing power through military fiat and issuing inhumane decrees to perpetuate his autocratic rule.
Useless country filled with mad citizens.

madridguy:
They said Buhari will take us back if elected President! Nigerians say it's a good decision to go back when you've lost your way on a 16yrs PDP journey where our destination as a nation is no longer visible. Please, Buhari, take us back to the era where: 1. One Dollar was less than one Naira. It is incredible today! 2. Everything was on first come first serve basis. 3. There was zero tolerance for corruption. 4. Oil refineries in PortHarcourt, Warri & Kaduna were built & running at full capacity. 5. Anybody with questionable wealth was afraid to display it in public. 6. There was Zero tolerance for indiscipline. Everything was in order 7. Nigeria had no debt at all. 8. Neglecting your children was a crime 9. Littering the public place was a crime 10. Twenty oil depots were built and functioning. 11 Western world can't interfere into our nation. 12. Chad invaded Nigeria, we sent them packing but did not harness their Land 13. Our economy was NOT running on generator 14. We can sleep with our eyes closed because we were secured. 15. Countries like Indonesia and Malaysia need not to set example on how to deal with drug pushers. 16. The Maitaseine Islamic Sect insurgency in the North was crushed on record time. 17. We want those days when Buhari was a military Governor but did not amass illegal wealth. 18. We want those days when Buhari was a Minister of Petroleum but did not hire a private jet for N10 billion. 19. We want those days when Buhari was a Head of State but did not loot the Treasury. 20. We want those days when Buhari was Head of PTF but did not steal the Fund even in the days of Abacha when stealing was the order of the day. Pls, Buhari & Osinbajo, take us BACK! We can't afford another 4yrs of waste in the hands of PDP!!! Take us BACK to the good old days of this our great nation. If you want this to happen, circulate the message!!!

Pls when has Nigeria ever been great or are you hallucinating?
When in history has Nigeria cease to be a third world country?

wristwatch:
Yea I know. China currency is worse dan naira but their economy is far better.

But the economy is bad plus bad currency, Wetin remain?

Most citizens of various world nations including china will tell you their economy is bad.
Bad economy is relative.
And Nigeria has a better economy than most countries on that list.

A thread for economic illiterates.
Gauging the strength of an economy on exchange rates.?
Only on Nairaland.
And these are the idiotts that may decide the nation's leadership in a few days time.
Complete moronns.

Ohibenemma:
We must be sincere here; both parties are very guilty of this act! Lai Mohammed started it long ago...the word, clueless, retarde(en)d, etc readily springs to mind. It is no wonder that he retained same position when ACN merged with others to form the APC. The PDP, if I can remember correctly, brought in Okupe simply for that purpose - to counter the darts of the opposition.
It is bad, but they are ALL guilty!
Also, those bringing in the trend in the civilized world are uninformed. The campaign between Romney and Obama was characterized by multiple mudslinging and slanderous insinuations, so much that Romney had to apologize for certain things he said after Obama's victory.
May the best candidate win.
#ihavedecided...

Thank you very much.
You are one of the very few patriots on nairaland.
The rest are deceiving themselves.
They probably don't know they have a herod (PDP)and a pharoah (APC) running for presidency.

A thread that would have made sense is what the OP just turned on its head by his thinly veiled partisanship.
I am out of here.

iamord:
u don't get it. Once am against its considered inferiority and what not. I don't want the whites to do it. Neither do I want Nigeria. Because of Nigeria's history with contracts. Incompetent. ! Do u know a thing about the West Africa gas deal. ? Before u point fingers make this findings and check yourself.

There are ongoing contract agreements.between Nigeria and ghana that have been going through for ages and is still being honoured without any hitches .
Even the gas deal was going on smoothly for years, until recently due to rising energy needs in Nigeria.
Secondly, Nigeria has numerous contract agreements with most west african countries, and not just ghana, so i don't see what is special about ghana.
Lastly, ghana does not have the capacity to mint its currencies just yet.
Someone else has do it FOR NOW, it might as well be Nigeria.

iamord:
there u go with the irrational talk. I work for the best interest of my country. Which is to strengthen indigenous market and capacity. This deal was definitely set by people ready to swindle the country. They conive with foreign people to do it. Same goes to the Ghana oil sector and the West Africa gas deal with Nigeria . By the time we look into the agreement. You will see a lot of fraud in it. Am looking from a wider perspective. And not just some irrational view

This is not a case of fraud.
Ghana's currency was being printed in europe and possibly asia.
It makes sense for ghana to switch to a country with closer proximity to reduce trsnsport cost and the overall cost of production.
It seems you guys would prefer europeans than Nigeria due to a sort of inferiority complex ,thankfully, your leaders are not that stupidd and egocentric.

Btw, Nigeria already mints a significant percentage her own currency in the country anyway.
So it is not like a new thing.

iamord:
very clueless. This is not any political achievement. It's a contract. If the company in Nigeria can provide a more favourable deal that the current one being used then they go for it. But I personally feel the idea of having Nigeria do it is a bad one.

how is it a bad deal?
Only Nigeria has such technology and capacity in west Africa, and would not require much shipping costs to transport the coins.
You ghanians are very irrational when it comes to Nigeria.

emmatok:
Liberalism and Exploration help Europe.

Africans are too conservative.

Which part of the world is more conservative than china and india?
Infact, i think the large scale loss of our conservativeness is a symptom of our under-development.
It shows our status as a fully conquered people.

In this same Nigeria where most homes are led by over-worked, slaving men.
Is it any wonder why we have far more widows than widowers.?
The OP is an irredemable ignoramus.

dazangel11:
d problem is not america but Obama he is an ass messing up everything I hope his tenure expires soon. just one chance to a black man and he mess up everything .

This is what many people don't know.
obama is the elephant in the room.
I am certain that president bush would have gifted Nigeria enough lethal weapons to win this war without all these unwanted pontifications.
It will take a miracle for a black man to become a POTUS in the nearest future.

emperorchedda:
Its tough knowing you're going to die in the next minute. This should be the punishment for corrupt politicians though. Peeps like Abba Moro, Alams, Stella Oduah, Bode George, Kashamu and their boss from Otuoke should face this treatment

You conveniently ignored Tinubu and you expect people to take you serious.
keep deceiving yourself.

The fastest woman in the world.
She is one of the very few who will be eternally greatful to uduaghan.

Rivers state is the oil capital of Nigeria.
Her revenues outstrip every niger-delta state including akwa-ibom.
It's obvious a lot of Nigerians don't know this.

xreal:
It does.

Kidney disease is just expensive to manage.
Transplant is the solution.
God has blessed the Indians with that.

God did not bless them with anything.
The indian government invested a fortune in health care delivery with a major focus on organ transplant related technologies, to boost GDP, create jobs and improve life expectancy for the average indian.
Nigeria can replicate this in 10 years with decent leadership.

[size=18pt]Maybe these Creek Roaches can tell us WHO THE REAL OWNER OF GLOBAL WEST VESSELS SPECIALIST LTD IS?[/size]

Until they do that. they are just puffing like Obanikoro, Bianca Ojukwu and all other Noise Makers who use "threat of Suit" to cover-up, when exposed!

Jonahan has turned-over Nigeria's Security to the Creek Militants....... No wonder he allowed our gallant military men to be slaughtered needlessly by Boko Haram, by refusing to arm them properly, INSTEAD HE ARMS HIS CREEK MILITANTS

No one has destroyed Nigeria, as much as this clueless President Jonathan


Lastpage!

listening to people like you, one would be mistaken to think Nigeria was working before GEJ came in.
Bigot and sentimentalist.

kobonaire:
You are an ungrateful asśclown that is blissfully unaware of how much economic aid the United States provides to Nigeria. Go do some basic research before exposing your ignoramus self on the interweb

Economic aid you say?
Yet they stop buying Nigeria crude and increased transaction with saudi-arabia almost immediately.
You are an ignorant fool if you think the paltry aid money from the US is what Nigeria need.

kobonaire:
If America does not provide support NairaLanders will complain, if they do provide support, the same NairaLanders will still be complaining ... SMH

You are an idiott if you believe the " support" is worth squat.

Unfortunately; most Ignorant Nigerians would actually believe the US are helping us when they actually haven't.
God bless america anyway.

SirShymexx:
Loool.

Brev, it's good to be proud and patriotic but stop flattering yourself - Nigeria isn't an intellectual property and there's absolutely no impeccable record for anyone to envy, apart from a few high flying individuals. Maybe, impeccable record in scams/fraud and naija Churches scattered all over the planet - who knows?

The earlier Nigerians start telling themselves the truth, the better for us all. The only reason why folks notice Nigerians everywhere is because of the huge population explosion. Outside that, there's nothing to be proud of. Even the ol'good Super Eagles have now gone bust!

Big ups to naij - but someone has to say the truth, no matter how bitter it's.

And out of all the numerous threads available for you to say your so-called truth, it is here you find appropriate.
On a thread where even citizens of back-water african countries like somalia are defending their own countries is where you choose to rubbish Nigeria.
I wonder what you are trying to prove.

GogetterMD:
Simple. Stop telling them, until they ask you

How can she not tell them?
Is that how deceitful you are.?
You want her to marry into a lie and make her life miserable when the guy inevitably find out.

lacasa:
Since Gej put in this DG who happens to be Tompolo's boy, they av raped Nimasa and filled that place wt the local kinsmen from their Niger-delta area/creeks.


Many of the sophisticated staff have been leaving Nimasa due to this


The agency is a shadow of itself, just like NNPC under Diezani. The way Jonathan uses them like ATM is too damning.



You have to go there to see. Nimasa was before before not as it is now.



*spits*

lol
An hausa parasite is accusing someone of nepotism.
Look at all our govt agencies like NNPC ,NTA, EFCC, e.t.c that have been ran to the ground by your kinsmen and you have the temerity to accuse niger-deltans.
If Nimasa was very.effective before GEJ then why was piracy very high.
Infact under normal circumstances, given the long years of destruction of our public institutions by your hausa kinsmen, banning them from holding sensitive positions for the next 50 years is not out of order.
People like you is the reason voting buhari is impossible.
Useless tribalist.

Btw, i thought igbo women are the most inter-married of all ethnic groups.
I think its high time other ethnic groups match them.
If i were to have my way, every body will marry from their own ethnic group.

Calculia:
Dat is a lie, it is the other way round. Yorubas will only promote themselvesa bove their igbo superior that is if they dont first sack them. The pay they give their yoruba is different from that the igbo get.

I thought i was the only one that noticed the error in her statement.
When it comes to work-place tribalism ,yorubas take the cake.
Sweetlemon is probably yoruba or married to a yoruba man,hence her bias.
