From the stupid posts i've read here can't we all get along?
@poster
Would you please stop all this tribalistic post

@oziomatv
You are the biggest racist ever, you truly need help, you probably have a lot of unresolved issues, you even look like one of those people cleaning toilets abroad      . By the way, if Igbos are so special, why are your states so incredibly underdeveloped and backward, at least Lagos is changing a bit but ABA or ONITSHA is still ghetto but don't worry sha, when our state gov. starts charging you guys businesses high property taxes, then you would start crying like little babies.

@ABA 4 LIFE
wetin you get for head It looks like you have a small patch in the middle of your head. I am sure you're one of those Nigerians that do dishonest things abroad and dishonor the Nigerian people.

Nigeria is a state of mind.

@stillwater
Thank you jare, when i was in naija, i wasn't any good at math and i hated it so much, but when i came to yanki, math became my best subject especially Calculus (CALCULUS!!!) of all subjects, in fact, you cover so much information here in one semester (4 months) than you would cover from SSI -SS3 . Also, teachers would try there very best so that you succeed, they are so nuturing and concerned but in naija its the opposite, imagine a teacher flogging a child simply because the poor kid doesn't understand the subject, then you have the verbal abuse (coconut head, olodo, you'll never amount to anything). Some students can't learn in an atmosphere like that (some students do, but not all), some students need to be encouraged and helped. Another thing is that here you can bother your teacher any time you feel like concerning homework, in naija teacher would yell at you (how many times do i have to explain to you? are you deaf you coconut head) or at times, they would even flog  you, and you wonder why our public schools produces touts and and "area boys" instead of Albert Einsteins and Nobel Prize winners.

In naija, teachers create an atmosphere of fear so the students are even scared to ask questions for fear of being made fun of or snapped at out of impatience by the teacher (what's wrong with you, or are you blind) , that's why a lot of students are left behind. An atmosphere like this where all array of abuses are rained down ofn the kids definitely can't bring out the best in the students. Another point is that majority of the students like the late bloomers (it takes them a while to reach there potential), the fearful, insecure and timid ones need special one on one attention with caring and nuturing teachers, this is where the teachers need to make the subject interesting and apealing to those students.

[color=Black][b]As a result of the lack of administrative oversight, some of the teachers are not assesed based on the performance of there students and worse of all, some don't even know there stuff: my english teacher couldn't speak English very well and i went to a private school, now imagine a student in some Government day primary school ("ki lo luwa e fe ko". The teachers should have a minimum qualifications of a masters degree if not a PhD and a teaching certificate to teach in our primary and  secondary schools just like Singapore where the best students in the universities are hired to teach in primary school that's why they have the best educational system in the world, this would be a better alternative than some HND holder or some guy who cheated his way through college. This process of recruiting the best students to teach in our primary schools would definitely help especially in places like Southern, Eastern and Northern Nigeria where the standard of education is still lagging behind compared to western Nigeria, i am not saying that Western Nigeria is good at all, but i went to school in southern naija and trust its much worse than those yoruba states.[/color][/b]

asides the fact they have some of the hottest chicks in Europe

@olorididan
We dey talk better thing here you dey talk babe, besides swedish girls are all lepa and they are too pale that some of them even glow     .

@poster
You should try studying in Malaysia which is much better and less colder and where they speak English. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-87516.0.html

Wow thanks a lot for the post, this is by far the best and most informative post i've read since i joined nairaland. Once again, thanks a lot, i truly appreciate it. By the way, what sec. school did you go to in naija.

my school won the insight bowl y'all.

What a shame that practices like this still exist, and this are the same people complaining against white on black racism and you wonder why Nigeria isn't progressing when you have a tribe within a tribe discriminating against each other.

gosh what backward thinking! and you wonder why Nigerians would never progress, when a tribe within a tribe are being discriminatory to each other. Who ever said racism would end.

happy new year y'all.

bony bony bony lepas.

Na wah o, what are we whining about? Look, there is corruption everywhere, from USA to europe, and on other continents and of course Nigeria is no difference. Stealing and looting from public coffers is not a new thing but this rogues should invest the money at home first. if you steal your fathers money and buy a car for your younger ones, will they not love you? ( Not everyone may agree with me, anyway)

@FBS
You better shut up, there is corruption everywhere but definitely not on the scale of Nigeria so just shut your mouth, in fact, i can boldly say that in developed countries, there are checks and balances in the govt that prevent against looting govt funds so be quiet. A thief is a thief whether he is in America or Timbuktu, or whether he invests it in Nigeria. You're probably one of those dishonest people who would loot state funds if you were in that position, what a shame.

Igbos are jews

sheaaaaaaah riiiiiiight ha ha ha.

If Igbos are Jews, then i am white he he he.

kai, na wa o, this country don tire person sef.

is it true, my goodness, whatever happened to naija? This terrible. Please my guy don't do it, its not worth it at all. Always remember to fear God.

ouch
dang, boy if i were you, i would be sooooooooo extremely embarassed, i would be sooooo ashamed of myself that i would go lock myself up at home, in fact, if i ever saw the girl again i would avoid her, man what an ego-bruiser. My guy if you like yourself, you better go sidon for house and watch some pirated VCD's and never go out to watch movies again. ONCE AGAIN A BIIIIIIIIIIG OUCH.

Please mr. Afam shut up and keep your mouth absolutely shut. Why not pack your things and move to Afghanistan or or somewhere in the middle east. How would you feel if your kids died as a result of the Intifada? or your entire family got blown up in a Mr. Biggs restaurant? Just shut up ok. Bottom line is terrorist are murderers and they ought to be "eliminated" before taking other people's lives with them. Like i said earlier, there are justifiable wars like the War in Afghanistan and trust me you don't want to know how bad Afghanistan was under the Taliban.

Do you know how much the so-called naija problems are direct consequences of racism? Supporting a tyrant like Abacha or IBB to mess with naija over the years maybe a form of non-interferrence racism, I saw that with Haiti and Kosovo.

@Naijaking
Oh please, here come the conspiracy theorists, i am tired of hearing the same ol' America supported Abacha and IBB nonsense, our continent is in shambles because of us (not that the europeans are entirely faultless). Don't come here and start making excuses that the white man did this or that.

happy new year y'all.

this akolawole wetin dey do you self, you must be ethically challenged, in fact, from what i am reading from you, i can induce that its because of people like you Nigeria is so extremely backward and corrupt. You better shake off that dishonest dishonest mentality, our players are frauds, simple as that, whether other people do it doesn't matter, a fraud is still a fraud.

I read somewhere that Harry Redknapp believes that Kanu is about 50 he he he.

The guy has a glass chin, you can knock him out, the guy got knocked down thrice against an inferior fighter and he was lucky to have won that fight.

I think its incredibly unfair to other countries who bring actual U17 and U20 to tournaments and we end up bringing liars and crooks. Corruption everywhere, even in the sport we really love, what a big BIG shame.
We need to start doing bone marrow testing on this lads.

At the end of the day though, its all about lack of opportunities, have you ever heard of a Nigeria player whose father is manager for Chevron? Most of this kids come from extremely poor background and there only way up is to exploit the system that gives them no opportunities. You think Kanu would be as soccer player if his father was Chairman of Central Bank? Anyone ever wonder why the Asian countries have horrible football teams? its because they have great economies where there are great opportunities to become engineers, doctors, and wealthy businessmen. Another reason why nobody over there wants to play soccer at the proffessional level is because its risky, the prospect of you becoming the next Ronaldo is very infinitesimal so why not become a lawyer. Even in South America (including Brazil), most of the best players all come from extremely poor background, that's why there was a big deal about Kaka in brazil, its because unlike his counterparts, he is a rich white boy who became a great soccer player.

I remember when they wanted to sign Taye Taiwo after the U20's but they wanted to do some bone marrow testing on him to find his actual age but he refused he he he

Who are we decieving? this is not a new story, everybody has known this for a good minute. Did you guys even see our so calle U17 boys, ain't no way any of those boys were U17 especially Christanus who looked 19 or 20 ha ha ha.

Typical Naija, when someone achieves something everybody wants to claim them.

A playoff system would be great but i think it would take off some gloss from college football season like college basketball where nobody cares about the regular season but only the "big dance".

USA '94 and SOUTH KOREA/JAPAN 2002.

@T money
You also said that we should support all things nigerian, why should we be forced to buy mediocre products simply because they are Nigerian, can't you see that the world is becoming a globalized economy? if you like keep staying in the stone age.

@T money
its because of your ethnocentric views Nigeria is still extremely poor. When would you open your eyes and look past your sentiments, Mike Adenuga is simply not a good guy. Go to other countries and see how they treat there managers and compare that to adenuga.

duh, who isn't tired of NEPA.

Their is never a Good war!!!!!

@presido
I agree with your statement that there is never a good war, but there are necessary wars or justified wars like WWII or the fight against the Taliban.
