Ma_J_Blige:
Egyptians in the US made a protest at the UN - as in Mubarak must go.

Our own only talk but no action. They sit behind the computer and laugh at everyone but themselves.

What is wrong with Nigerians?

Ma_J_Blige:
LOL.

Just like your father is one. LOL.

Ma_J_Blige:
not true. most nigerians in Nigeria don't know what's happening in NIgeria.

Hahahaha. How can someone with enough sense make this statement?


as an american

Who cares if you are American or Iraqi? what difference does that make to the topic then?

There's 3 computers in my house alone

Only 3? Some of us have seven.


diaspora nigerians even heard nigerian music before nigerians do now.

So? This then means they are masters on Naija matters?


i went through one of the world's best education systems

No wonder. Best indeed. We can see. Thats why there "is" 3 computers and not there "are"

Ma_J_Blige:
I almost thought you wont throw that usual punch - "besides, we are not in the same league, division or sphere". Thats a sign of emptiness.

I dont have to agree with you to be in the same league with you. No one wants to know anybody's status here online, beside, the person you are talking about might be way, way off above your so called league without you knowing. That is why you dont throw such punches at who u dont know or have never met.

Anyhow, I am glad you know we are not in the same league. Thats the only point you have genuinely made.

There is nothing cool about being from a nation run by criminals, a nation where the rich treat the poor like sh.it and have no respect for the rule of law, a nation where no-one seems to have a moral compass but everyone shouts that they are a born again christian or muslim. 


Is nigeria an industrialised nation?  No - does it manufacture anything? Again no.

Stop living in a fool's paradise talking about "we get swagger" you get swagger and you ran away to live in europe - why? 

when i went to gambia the minute i mentioned i was originally from nigeria people who had been friendly became cold and distant, no-one likes nigerians,

not true. most nigerians in Nigeria don't know what's happening in NIgeria.

as an american i have access to any piece of information in the world about anything in the world. I can tell you the temperature in Jos way before someone in an Akwa Ibom village can.

There's 3 computers in my house alone and i went through one of the world's best education systems (or at least one several times better then Nigeria's). Most Nigerians don't know anything past their immediate reality due to a lack of access to information (libraries, good schools, electricity, computers, information based television ect.)

the MINUTE it drops, where as nigerians hear it once it's popular in their area.

EzeUche_:
Most Nigerians in the Diaspora do not know what is happening in Nigeria. They sit oblivious to what is happening. They enjoy Nigerian parties, say how proud they are to be Nigerian and act like nothing is wrong.

They go to the posh areas of Lagos or go to Abuja and believe all of Nigeria is like that.

Nigerians in the Diaspora are not connect to what is happening in Nigeria. I am pretty sure that most Nigerians do not know where Jos is located in the map unless they have family in the region.

Ikengawo:
^LMAO!

wtf would i be protesting at the UN?
most Nigerians like Goodluck, most egyptians hate Mubarak
Goodluck has been in power less then a year, Mubarak has been in for 30
Goodluck is not a dictator, Mubarak is a dictator
We're about to have an election were we can take out goodluck if we want, egyptians get arrested for voting the wrong way.


quit comparing the two countries. Nigerians can't realize what a problem is but always talk about problems. Nigerian's problem isn't a lack of overthrows, it's an abundance of confused people like the original poster

ElRazur:
This is about the most sensible thing you have said all night. Please keep it up.

I mentioned what you are now saying in my first post in this thread, and I went as far as using myself as an example of how I have no desire or strong urge to die for nigeria (a death that may perhaps bring about change or catalyst to change I am talking about here)


In my opinion, I feel things have to be really bad before we can see anything close to a mass protest. Having said that, the mind set in which my people have can be counter-productive to any feeling of mass protest. After all, things were worse under most military rule and my people did nothing.

ElRazur:
This is my last attempt of trying to reason with you.

This thread is about trying to ask if Nigerians can unite and demand change.

You on the other hand are just providing answer to a question no one is asking.

Brotherhood or no brother hood, that has been mentioned already on several news channel, however it is not relevant to this debate.

Finally, having Egyptian friends and what not means what exactly to the thread at hand?

ElRazur:
I am not sure there is anyone here who post just for an ovation either.

Dude, your views are not saying anything not known already. Some even pointed out it was irrelevant to the post at hand.

All you appear to do is just ignore what's been said and try to post something else.


Let me ask you this, do you think the situation in Nigeria is the same or similar to the events leading to protest in the aforementioned nations?

Do you think the people in Nigeria are able to stand up and unite and demand the resignation or stepping down of those in power without letting tribalism or religion bigotry play part?

ElRazur:
With all due respect, do you really feel pushing your views on to people will get any where?

So far most have ignored your post, and the few who replied, you seem not to even take on board what they are saying.  

Smh.

Hi_Tek:
@ Cap28,

Did you actually watch the speech on Youtube or are you going by what somebody told you? I have mentioned that the only place I saw her tumble was in trying to pronounce a South African name. Please point me to any other part of the speech where she stumbled.

The fact that she does not speak with a British accent does not mean she cannot read. Did you hear the following people speak when they were in power:

Murtala Mohammed
Shehu Shagari
Sani Abacha
Olusegun Obasanjo
Umaru Yar'adua

Did you raise similar complaints? If not, you should because they all had thick Northern or Southern Nigerian accents.

Is this by any chance BecomeRich or his brother?? anyone?? 

victorazy:
Yes is not easy for ordinary Nigerians. Ordinary Nigerians needs only wisdom to succeed the situation "read the book of Proverb in Bible" indeed, Nigeria has it all, am only traveling out for studying. Lebanese man spent only one year here in Nigeria, and went back to come with his family that Nigeria is the land flowing with milk and honey.

Kobojunkie:
^^^ Like someone said earlier, it is probably OK that you stop responding as you are still not making sense. Much of the news you get are from those sources, so what are you yapping about?

1) Are Egyptians not rioting in the streets of Egypt?

2) Are people not being injured by the police and calling for freedom?

What exactly is are you trying to deny is the case here?

@Poster, like someone said, More Nigerians would rather make excuses and create reasons for why inaction is the best action for Nigeria. It seems only muslims willing to die in the name of Sharia do the fighting in this country. Everyone else seems more in the business of producing excuses for why nothing of the sort should happen in Nigeria.
