I don't know why some f**ls re supporting Mr Trump's insult on Nigeria . Even if he got the money he used to build his house from US, he shouldn't keep quiet and swalow the insult.





HATERS OF NIGERIA

Well you won't blame them, many here on Nairaland can only judge from their point of view based on the rising unemployment and the perceived suffering around.

Awoo88:
They do. Lagos have official population of about 10million. How of this 10million is in place like festac less alone Island? Most of the crowd u boarding buses to Island reside in ajaa where they still poo outside

Lagos has a population of 27 million not 10 million, so you mean more than half of the 27million still poo outside? Really?

Awoo88:
The professor seems to be exhibiting ignorance. He can not afford that house in US and if he were to be in Nigeria, he will need to be a VC or chief executive of one the MDAs to be able to afford that house

What part of Nigeria do you live in? there are houses like this in my street in warri, jakpa road and they abound to an extent. Nah you don't have to be a chief executive to own a house like this.

tesppidd:
Except you're less than 15 years old.

If you aren't then you must have been hearing these statistics from the UN over the past 30 years.

Maybe not accurate but the stats from UN were meant to put the poverty level in Nigeria into perspective.

But people want to make believe that extreme poverty started in Nigeria in 2015.

M
l know of the statistics, but it's an old one and doesn't tally with the other data l provided, don't you think so? let us stop repeating this lie cos it doesn't make us more objective. l know everyone is tired of this Government, but this 80% nonsense doesn't tally especially from around 2004 onwards.

tesppidd:
damn.
that was harsh.


Everything is not about APC.

You people want to act like we have forgotten that since the past 30 years;

1. 80 percent of Nigerians have been living below the poverty line,

2. 80 percent of Nigerians have been living below 1 dollar per day,

Everything is now APC.
Even those who have been hungry and jobless since 2000 are blaming APC.

80%, 80% 80% are you among the 80% living below one dollar per day?
let's reason together, if according to their statistics, about 150 million (80%)out of 180 million people live below 305 naira per day and also 97 million Nigerians(over 50% of the population) are active internet users/subscribers, don't you think there's something wrong somewhere? Either there's a miscalculation or someone is not telling the truth.

SalamRushdie:
Nigerians just love living in denial..the truth is that over 80 million Nigerians still do not have access to a toilet and still shit polythene bags and throw them into water ways

Where do you get all these figures From? you mean over 80 million Nigerians still live in the village?

Felixalex:
Never said they are not igbos, talking about how we dissociate ourselves from them when it's sth bad. Or like during the IPOB struggles when some Deltans said they were not part of it, some people would say "after all they are not real igbos" hope u get my point?

There are Delta lgbos in Delta who are lgbos, but not all tribes in Delta are lgbos example Urhobo, ltsekiri, ljaw, lsoko, etc. That's what people were saying then.

greencard:
yeah I read about them. The queen particularly ask them to come to the palace due to her fascination with such rare intelligence. ..

Our problem is bad governance and greed on the part of those who hold the power to create an enabling environment for these geniuses to thrive . Hence creating room for social vices we are experiencing

Yeah bad Governance due to the faulty political structure, we keep recycling old leaders, and the Nigerian democracy and political structure is yet to fully recover from the long damaging effects of the military regime

greencard:
in summary, Nigerians are geniuses.

A Nigerian family is said to be the smartest family in the UK, was honoured by the queen, you can Google the lmafidon family.
An Edo family, thesame tribe with a high number of immigrants suffering in Libya. You see the lrony?

LeSudAfricaine:
selling drugs is not honest work, that's cutting corners easy money. something you are renowned for

Yeah that's terrible, anyone who sells drugs should be arrested and brought to book irrespective of his/her race or nationality, but that's not all we are renowned for. We are also renowned to be the most educated immigrants in the U.S and the U.K with a high number of doctors(remitting at least about 25Billion dollars anually to this shithole). We are renowned for our literature(the most translated novel from the black race in the world is from Nigeria) and fashion industry. Without constant power and with many low budget films, we are renowned for nollywood employing over a million people even in recession.
Without constant electricity and good infrastructure we together with Kenya and SA had some of the most outstanding lT start Up's and attracted the highest number of loans for tech investments(together with Kenya and SA) in Africa in 2017.
You see, we are renowned for a whole lot of things, with or without our Government.
Unfortunately we are also renowned for internet scam and drugs sales in Asia and SA.

LeSudAfricaine:
just to clarify something as well. the shhthole comment has nothing to do with Trump

So now what's the argument on? Whose shithole is better?

LeSudAfricaine:
ah come on ritual murders are the norm over there

Nah, one would also think they are the norm in SA if we go by your logic, because you came to this conclusion from the crime reports on Nairaland, l could also dig out these crime reports in SA cause l see them and they abound aplenty.

makydebbie:
But I just finished reading this and it didn't say anything about Ghanaians maltreating Nigerians. The writer only wrote on the relationship between both countries, praised Nigeria and wrote on the Ghana must go thing.

Nowhere did l say Ghanians maltreated Nigerians, but that in the sixties the Ghanian Government sent the Nigerians away and they left their trades, they lost everything, that may not be physical maltreatment but it is a terrible experience anyway.
My point in all of these is that even if you say Nigerians generally maltreated Ghanians then, many Ghanians would not support that view if we judge by that forum and the over 80 comments.
I'm not saying Nigerians are saints tho, or that there may not be Ghanians who have had bad experiences with the Nigerian people from time to time.
Anyway make we bone that matter, how your side? l never knew you were Ghanian initially , you dey always chat like correct Naija babe.

makydebbie:
When Shagari passed a law that they should punish any Ghanaian they see?
They treated Ghananians with disdain. I can't remember Ghanaians doing same to Nigerians. Care to share any link?

Read this from your own country man, it's long but worth it. Also read the comments if you have the time.

makydebbie:
Sweetheart, I dey your back jare.

When Nigerians were being brutal on Ghanaians and started Ghana must go, they didn't know oh. Ghanaians went through hell in the Hands of Nigerians.
I'm not saying those killed deserve it, I'm saying Nigerians are not saints either in this kind of thing abeg.
But you know this forum is dominated by Nigerians so we can't win this argument but I'm with you in this one.

lol, but Ghana did it first now in the sixties, besides Nigeria accepted you guys first, only to send you packing when things were getting tougher.
Nigeria welcomed Ghanians enmasse in the late seventies(during the oil boom) despite the ill treatment from Ghana in the sixties.

LeSudAfricaine:
you do far worse, you kill them for their brains, kidneys and peni.ses, yuck!

And South Africans don't do this? l find it amusing how these foreigners classify Nigeria in one box.

MizMyColi:
I am yet to see a South African woman who doesn't look good.
South African women are so beautiful.

I love the way their ebony and black colours sit on them.

Even those who are overweight have this beauty and aura that they ooze.

I think of them as real Africans, extremely proud of their roots.

What of other Africans? Do you think of most of them as fake Africans who are not proud of their roots?

AROZIBE:
SHE IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THIS SEX RUBBER OH

Jamb question: What if she was dark in complexion but with thesame face, would it take away her beauty?

Lionessza:
It seems like you Nigerians care too much about what white people think , it quiet embarrassing. Who gives a damn about the opinions of these people ? Why not do your thing and let them do theirs? . The image of Africa is mainly dented by the people from your region ( desperados who refuse to clean up their homeland ) but would rather die in the Mediterranean Sea trying to reach their saviors. Remember the shock of all their journalists when we hosted the 2010 world cup ? Before it , they were reporting junk and after it they were so embarrassed ( now that's how you silence retards not by proving them right by doing anything to go and be their toilet cleaners like you guys do) . Who will fix African economies ? Whites ? . Don't try justifying your criminal and desparado tendencies by making an excuse about the economy, are not most economies in Africa suffering ? But why are we not all jumping boarders to scam people or risking our lives to be prostitutes and thugs in Europe? . Face the truth , your laziness , greed , inferiority complex is what is causing the people from your region to do what they do. Simple!.

Obianuju I'm disappointed, this post is full of fallacies. First l replied Tayser who was concerned about the so called bad image of the continent, and that was the context. l stand by my assertions, Nigerians are everywhere in the world and are not just travelling out due to economic failures.
Yes many are lazy, prostitutes and failures but you cannot also hide your face from the fact that the most educated immigrants in the U.K and U.S are Nigerians(despite the large population of Indians and the rest there). Even in black American forums, the blacks there speak of the business oriented minds of the Nigerians who come to achieve in few years what many blacks fail to achieve. All Nigeria needs to do is to fix the political structure and the policies in our growing democracy that could allow the right people contest for positions in Government and be elected, then they can create the environment to bring back those in the diaspora and help the talented ones within.
You only choose to see what you wanna see, if you talk about the positives of Nigerians doing well abroad or within, even that your SA doesn't measure up.
Pls nobody should quote me unnecessarily, l have headache.

jerohdahero:
Casper spoke the truth. He is popular, (if you listen to rap music you should know him). He dropped an amazing song titled mama i made it. He featured M.I and burna boi on one of his songs. This same guy said in an interview that M.I is the best in Africa. Rap music is not in anyway dead in Nigeria. The issue is the media, "popular demand" and this "street ti take over" rants by "local rappers". Men like Paybac, Modenine, Terry tha rapman(he is dropping an album on the 28th of January) Jesse jagz(he dropped an album last year) Boogey( he is the best rapper in Nigeria nay Africa. He is that good) are still doing serious rap in Nigeria. Understand things b4 u conclude. Nasty C is not as half as good as Eriggha. Not to talk of rappers like Lord V, or A.Q

Thank you very much, other genres are far from dead in Nigeria, but for some reason the media promotes only the most popular to the world.

LeSudAfricaine:
yeah right so says someone who comes from a country where people celebrate that some white man was seen eating Garri in some market, or some white man was seen speaking to a black guy yes don't deny it, week in week out there are such threads on Nairaland. if there are people who worship anything western it's you Nigerians,
"o I wish white man never left Nigeria" blah blah" does that sound familiar? you guys are the biggest white asss kissers on the continent. the fact that SA has different music styles has nothing to with trying to copy people of the west but it's due to the fact the that SA has western influence in itself, it's inherent we do not go seeking it and the fact that we are mighty talented, you on the other hand hide behind such excuses that you are doing "your own flavour" because you know you can't execute other styles as well as SA

lol, come on there's no need getting worked up here. l love SA, it's a great nation.
Like you, l hated Nigerian music totally even months ago cos of my narrow view then of what Nigerian music is. But digging deeper, l saw there was more to music in Nigeria than what is prominent, l was just against this your narrow view. You may be right though, the Nigerian population doesn't support different genres openly like SA and they focus more on the afro beats, but this is different from saying the Nigerian music industry as a whole is not sophisticated or diverse, maybe that's why l called you out on that.
SA is definitely a powerhouse in entertainment anytime anyday, and of course you are right when you say you guys are more diverse racially hence the western influence.
Your garri example makes no sense though cos that's more of a cultural shock than anything else(on the part of Nigerians). Even me when l see a white man eating garri, or starch, it's a wonder to me. Same way l would be surprised if l see my Grandfather(a cultural man) fresh from the village loving Burger, Pizza, etc. Have a nice day.

intruxive:
And who told u MI is relevant anymore? Pls he is in the archives as long as music I nigeria is concerned,u cant compare with football because football doesn't have variety, but music does, same way u cant say the indians are wack because they don't sing opera and rock. I repeat SA has identity crises and am guessing its feom the apartied era, u guys see everything white as superior. Sorry to bust ur bubble..... we don with that hr in nigeria. We are taking over the world and guess what...... we are doing it our way. U may stick to ur copycat rap ishh. We want non of that, lol

Maybe for them, it must look more western to be superior, and so all local beats are referred to as pon pon beat.
l believe in the fusion of both the western and our native style, we must promote our own beats with few spices from the west.

skeletonkey:
my dear don't bother, we Nigerians don't have a clue what diversity means

Why not speak for yourself, the Nigerian music scene is diverse, that a particular genre is the most popular doesn't change that. There are afro soul singers, Fuji, juju, rap, etc. The rap is not that advanced l agree, but most Nigerians just wanna club and dance in the party, doesn't mean they wouldn't play Asa, Simi, Ben, Johnny drille or Adekunle gold in the morning. l personally enjoy Falz(you may not like his songs simply because he playfully imbibes the local accent) and of course there are gospel artists like Sinach and Nathaniel Bassey. What I'm saying is that club music is what Nigerians wanna listen to in shows of course, but it doesn't mean other genres are not appreciated.

TayserMahiri:
Not to sound vile but I get mad when I see Africans especially from your part of the world fleeing the downtrodden economy for those that others have built. That mentality is so sick! If the economy is downtrodden, please work on it, dont run away to places where people consider you lesser beings. I dont know what needs to be done but even a wall would do it for me. Box those idiots in their shitholes until they figure out how to make the economy work. Personally I dont care what whites think of Africa. Why wont we be disrespected when people are drowning every day in the high seas? I wish I had the power, those idiots would die toiling in Africa (possibly building a tall wall) rather than in the seas

Nigerians are in war torn parts of the world even Syria and Yemen. The problem is the economy of course but apart from that, there seem to be a desire to just be out of the country, a yearning for a different experience or a different life, there are Nigerians schooling in Cameroon and Seirrealeone as we speak.
Economic problems and lack of constant electricity are the major factors for this but in addition, Nigerians especially those from my state are born travellers, you can't stop them.

TayserMahiri:
Oh yeah, we do have ancestor leaders in Uganda and Nigeria. May they overcome ! I was actually surprised our president could measure up to Zuma in dancing. Zuma can win a dancing competition for presidents in Africa. Surely he cant get any competition. But I noticed you guys have a general passion for music and dance and some pretty fiery speeches. We also do the same but I think your Zulu (and other) cultures is pretty up there especially with the dance moves Also, you guys really do respect your independence heroes in a very passionate and emotional way than I see elsewhere, saw Rama singing Oliver Tambo and I was almost touched, lol. Honestly, in Kenya our independence party is practically dead, people are even embarrassed to be associated with it. Those guys really fvked us. For 40 years!

What is the issue with Ramaphosa I thought he was a business-like person who would do great in expanding SA economy and he seems to be pretty close to Kenya's current govt than previous leaders, which means we could strike up a deal to be bosom buddies and rid this continent of the bad image emanating from the Western part of the continent

Bad image of the continent has more to do with the fact that the whites already look down on the blacks and see Africa as a poor country full of jungles and animals. That black Africa is a shithole is something the majority believe, Trump is just outspoken.
ln summary the continent's bad image stems moreso from it's downtrodden economy than it does from internet scams against the greedy whites.

oodua1stson:
probably the most rétarded statement ever in the history of mankind.


No one, I mean nobody on earth can teach or what Ronaldinho or Jay Jay did. Those skills are natural

Exactly, l have seen Okocha and Ronaldinho joggle tennis balls effortlessly, how do you begin to teach someone to do that?
Ronaldinho blindfolded his face at a time to rake the ball, he did it effortlessly. These guys alongside Messi were born to play football.
