PrecisionFx: For your information, Nigerians are predominantly animists.Nigerians are nominally christians and Muslims in identity and not in deeds. Nigerians are not all that convinced about the truth of these religions, they only take them up because they don't want outsiders to call them pagans. |

PrecisionFx: Religious adherence is just a means of taking on a false identity. It doesn't really say anything much about the morality or otherwise of the adherents. You might have a religious identity without being moral. |

Horus: I like your reasoning. Our loyalties as black people have always been to either Christian West or Arab/Islamic countries. We have no identity of our own. 1 Like 1 Share |

It is certain that when one does criticism to a point one begins to loose rationality. Should we now accept the fact that Ezekwezili was the first person to utter such a statement? It is just too childish of her to have said that Buhari copied her campaign promise. |

Nigerians are very easy to deceive because politicians know they are gullible. This is the same tactics politicians have used over and over to win elections. Those who are reasonable enough will understand that industrializing any state in Nigeria is as hard as defeating corruption in Nigeria. Nigeria doesn't have what it takes to industrialize even in 200 years to come. Industrialization doesn't happen they way they want to make it appear. Siting a few low end manufacturing companies does not mean a country is industrializing.Industrialization is something that involves everything conceivable. It involves quality education, infrastructures, research, skilled labour, strong and absolutely committed leadership, disciplined population and friendly countries willing to provide the necessary money and technology. In addition to above mentioned factors, there should be shrewd entrepreneurs willing to invest in factories alongside government established ones. I will advise people to read about the experiences of China, Korea and Japan during their industrialization. 2 Likes |

Starhearts: The best place for the protesters to have gone Was The South African embassy. Even if South African businesses are attacked,it does not affect the black South Africans who largely carry out these xenophobic attacks. Corporate South African businesses are owned by white South Africans. |

badboywizzy:m So South African white companies should pay for crimes committed by black South Africans on their fellow black people from Nigeria. Your reasoning is superb. |

[quote author=selemempe post=80629600]I have been intrigued by the story of liberia...it was Africa's 1st democracy. It was a democracy from 1847 to 1981...thats over 130 years. The west couldnt believe that Africans could manage that for that long without a war.. Ofcourse africans proved them right wen the idiot samuel doe killed the elected president and caused a civil war that turned the country from a fast-developing nation to almost a dead country. Sad. But nice to see them recovering[/quot Please do much research on Liberia. Liberia was not a democracy in any sense of the word. The democracy you read about was one in which the descendants of the former free slaves manipulated for themselves. |

9jvirgin: U seem not to understand what you are saying. The descendants of free slaves who settled in Liberia actually destroyed the country. They practiced racism because they, coming from America,believed they were superior to the local population and rotated the government among the five to six former slave families who settled in Liberia. This was what led to Samuel Doe staging a military coup.Doe was actually from the country side.Contrary to your argument, for almost 130 years of the supposed independence ,Liberia was actually a property of the American tyre company, Firestone and the descendants of the former slaves. |

DIKEnaWAR: Buhari's illiteracy has taken him to the highest office in Nigeria, where have your literacy taken you to?Today, no history of Nigeria will be written without Buhari's name being mentioned. Will your name still be heard even after you have left this world? 1 Like |

Fhemmmy: No they can't do that. They need the money for their infrastructural development. Let me tell you, the developed world prefer to have African countries underdeveloped to having them developed. They benefit a lot from our underdevelopment. Imagine what will happen to Shell, Mobile, Chevron and other foreign oil companies stealing Nigerian oil if Nigeria is developed with the technical know how to drill its oil on its own.If this happens Nigeria will no longer need their help which will translates into Nigerians having more freedom to enjoy their wealth. This the developed countries do not want. They prefer to have us disorganized so that they can letigimize the unproven assertion that black people are inferior, and unfortunately our low IQ elites are falling for this trap. This is the reason they are creating a local comprandor class to safeguard their interests. 2 Likes |

simplesearch: It is not only Nigerian elites who are responsible for Nigerian woes, citizens of US and Europe are equally responsible. There is coordination of interests between Nigerian elites and foreign countries to loot our resources. Although our comprandor elites are responsible for foreigners looting our Commonwealth, the US and Europe are making sure that their oil companies operating in Nigeria make as much profit as they can at the expense of suffering Nigerians. I will recommend this book for you for more understanding of what am saying -the looting machine by Tomi Burgis. Try search for it. |

Lhanre: Political activism in Nigeria is to short- changed the gullible masses. What has Sani achieved for his people other than the unfruitful criticism which anybody can do? |

christejames: Our attitudes as Nigerians will never change. Tribal sentiments are our biggest problems to the extent that we find something to tribalize about in institutions that belong to everybody. What is most important is for the Universities to invest more in research to benefit the country. However, no matter the amount of rankings Nigerian universities received, they will still not be able to come up with good research because the Universities in Nigeria definitely reflect Nigeria's backwardness. You cannot expect a poor country to have world class institutions. It is definitely not going to be possible. 11 Likes |

SoNature: They always say that because they know that majority of Nigerian voters are of low IQ people. What an average Nigerian voter understands that statement to mean is that the prospective governor will start to dole out money once he is elected.politicians will be deceiving Nigerians that their country is rich whereas in reality Nigeria is one of the poorest. For Nigeria to be a rich country we need to grow our current GDP level by over 10 times. That will of course involve using science and technology to generate wealth instead of relying on exports of primary products. How are we rich when our GDP is 405 billion dollars for a population of roughly 200 Million people? If we call ourselves a country, then what do call Japan which produces a GDP of 5 trillion dollars for a population of roughly 100 million people? For you to know how poor we are, Beijing, the capital city of China, has a much higher GDP than the whole of Nigeria. Politicians are only deceiving Nigerians for them to clinch unto power and nothing more. They cannot deliver on their promises because after all deductions are made from the monthly allocation for salaries, allowances to schools ,salaries for political office holders and other sundry expenses, little or none is left to build anything.So,nothing should be expected from any governors. 3 Likes |

wink2015: Your argument is laced with a heavy dose of tribalism. Ruga was proposed to solve herder/farmers crisis. The federal government never tried to imposed it on any state contrary to what people are saying. I understand the feelings of Nigerians towards Ruga,but it is totally wrong to suggest that the states were forced to accept it. As you claim, what then is the meaning of being forced to accept Ruga when the various state governors are exercising their rights to reget it?The federal government has suspended Ruga and moved on,so I don't understand why the governors are still saying it. Perhaps some of the governors want to use it for political gains. If the governors have exerted the same amount of energy they are exerting on Ruga of a thing on building their states, Nigeria would have moved forward. No development occurs in a society where both the rulers and the ruled are foolish. As a people our IQs are just to low to build and innovate. |

Nigerians are primitive people who only get excited when tribal issues come up. They are more or less like monkeys. Only the reasonable will understand that Obaseki is saying all these to win the support of Edo people in the wake of his political struggle with Oshimole. Nigerian politicians are good psychologists.They know what to do to deflect off attention from their misrule. It is a typical divide and rule tactics. 2 Likes |

chosengocap: India has the same chaotic politics as Nigeria which has held the country back. For your information India GDP is about 2.2 trillion dollars for a a population of 1.3 billion people. Whereas Indian northern neighbor, China, has a GDP of about 14 trillion dollars for a population of 1.4 billion people. Forget the moon mission, India is a failure just like Nigeria. The Indians are as poor as Nigerians, though one must admit the fact that they are making progress in science and technology unlike Nigeria. 1 Like |

seunmsg: All this talk of technocrats is nonsense. To get nominated as a minister you need connection. Even if you are a technocrat today you become a politician the moment your appointment is confirmed. If you don't work for the success of the party you don't expect to reap from where you have not sown. 6 Likes |

[quote author=Epiphany post=80548704]For those 'complaining' that she studied history and sociology, may I remind you that this is just her first degree. She will return to school to study for a law or economics degree and eventually end up as a legal or financial professional. Funny enough, a lot of UK prime ministers studied history and philosophy in school and see where they ended up. As politicians. When you are from a prominent or rich family, what you study in school does not matter. Just get the degree. [/quote What have those who studied engineering and medicine done? What have our engineers engineerd?We keeping churning out engineering graduates and yet the Chinese are the ones building our roads and bridges.There doesn't seem to be any difference between the disciplines in Nigeria because even those who claim to have studied engineering and sciences have not done enough to encourage others . |

NwaAmaikpe: There's no logic in you argument even though you wanted to be seen as being logical. Those places you mentioned are not our land and there is no way Nigerians in those places could do such. I would have expected u at least to situate the issue within Nigeria by asking are there Yoruba and Igbo vigilante groups in the North ?Well I hardly comment on issues like ethnicity and religion because I believe they are for primitive and backward people. I just want to point out that your comparison is out of place. 1 Like |

Skmoda360: If you have had access to the internet when Obasanjo ordered the military to invade Odi in Bayelsa state perhaps you wouldn't have said Obasanjo is better than Buhari. The reason we are saying all these things is because of our access to social media that we never had during the time of Obasanjo. |

[quote author=AreaFada2 post=80526667] Jonathan had no time to implement CONFAB. It was already more than half way through his tenure with elections coming up. Nobody implements such with the trouble of getting it through NASS dominated by Northerners against decentralisation with so little time left. If Nigerians truly wanted CONFAB implemented they should have given him a second mandate. Since they did not give him but chose Change cum Next Level Nigerians should enjoy whatever comes their way. That is the beauty of democracy. You face the consequences or rewards of your election choices. Rest assured that the feral hatred and disdain for so-called minorities in the North and even among some SW people will make them rather "die than commit suicide" of admitting that Jonathan did a good thing by organising CONFAB. ![]() ![]() Sadly even among some in SW who mouth support for decentralisation. Now suddenly with fire on the mountain everyone is suddenly talking of Jonathan's CONFAB. ![]() Since we are not serious let's remain the laughing stock of international community. Including being branded fantastically corrupt worldwide. [/quot Our problem is not COMFAB. Our problem is one of battle among the elites for control of oil money. Even if the so-called COMFAB is implented it will not change anything.Nigerian politicians are not for development but for looting our resources. They are just using the COMFAB as a subtle tool to frame the government for their selfish ends and not forthe interest of the masses. Even if Obasanjo is given another chance to rule he will still not implement the recommendations of the COMFAB. |

Wizklynd23: The problem facing the country is backwardness plus desperate politicians wanting to clinch unto power. It doesn't matter who is in power Nigeria will continue to face problems typical of a backward country. Added to the problem is the oil money that our political elites are scrambling over. You may not believe what I am saying but it is the reality. 1 Like |

For your information the biggest problem Nigeria has is democracy itself. U hardly notice any crisis in a military regime but do you how many crisises we have witnessed since 1999?In a backward democracy like ours people will likely do anything to foist themselves on the people by crying foul even where none exists. |

Black Africans love enjoying what others have created instead of creating their own. Everybody wants to travel to Canada after we have ruined our country. I am very sure no black nation will ever experience development because we are just to daft a people to conceive and implement good things. We are too divided to work together to achieve great things. 1 Like |

This only confirms that the white people want sub-Saharan black people divided. They are happy that we confirm our stereotype of being tribal in nature. Canada is made up people from France, Britain and other European countries, including of course, the indigenous people of Canada. I am quite sure if the Canadians in Nigeria are to celebrate anything, each of the peoples that makes up Canada will not differentiate themselves on the basis of their ethnicities but rather on the single Canadian national identity. So, why can't Nigerians in Canada come together under the one single national identity of Nigeria?It should be Nigerian day celebration. 1 Like |
