You have a very simplistic mindset which doesn't surprise me as a lot of Nigerians reason like you. Of course I have to bring in politics because politics is entertwined with history.

Just in case you haven't noticed, the Europeans and americans dominate the entire world because militarily they are stronger - now just in case you are still not getting the point - a nation that is militarily stronger than your own nation can overthrow or kill your leaders at will and that is exactly what happened with Buhari so its not about why Babangida allowed himself to be used, its about the fact that militarily the west are more powerful than us and can impose leaders on us whether we want them or not. Also in every society you will always have saboteurs and this is not unique to Nigeria but to countries all over the world. the united states has overthrown and killed progressive leaders in south America, the carribean and the arab world so your question should be: "why does the US and Europe go around the whole world intimidating and destroying progressive govts who have the interests of their people at heart" and not "why did babangida allow himself to be used"

people like you are so brainwashed that you cant bring yourself to ever question the white man because it is ingrained in you that the white man is your lord and master.

Again I see that you would rather blame mandela than blame the white man who clamped him in prison for 27 long years, yes mandela may have sold out by agreeing to allow the whites retain their hold over the land and resources of south Africa but you must remember that by 1990 mandela was already a broken man, he had suffered various psychological and physical breakdowns whilst in prison and it was for this very reason the white power structure chose him as their preferred peace broker as they knew they could get a better deal with him as he was no longer as militant and as radical as he had been when he was imprisoned in 1963, this does not however change the fact that Mandela put the needs of his nation before his own personal needs, therefore your statement about African leaders is not completely true because there are true freedom fighthers in Africa who would give up their lives for the freedom of their people, sadly these kind of leaders are never allowed to get into the corridors of power by Europe and the US.

@ Fast-Link

Bro, I've got a serious problem! I had paid my US visa fee and scheduled since July and had scheduled an interview for Oct 24, which was last Wednesday. I got to the US embassy only to find out my name was not on the rooster, hence I wasn't allowed to appear for the Interview. I went and check the appointment portal only to find out my interview date was rescheduled from October 24 to October 9. My Interview had passed without me knowing. I swear after the day I schedule the interview for October 24, i never login into that portal. How the date got changed is beyond me!. Now I'll need your advice on what to do, If I pay another visa fee money, can I get an interview date before 20th of next month? I understand you specialize in getting early date. Can you help me out bro?

Nigeria has all what it takes to be great! We have the human capacity, resources and technical know how. But too bad, we have people who have no business in government, in government. Similar the computing word! Garbage in, Garbage out! Until, we get rid of those inept, unqualified, low IQ leaders in government. The nation will never move forward. We need intellects to occupy position of leadership in this country!.. Just imagine brains like Wole Soyinka, Donald Duke, Victor Attah, Ojukwu of blessed memories, Fashola, Bola Ige, Chinua Achebe and many others too numerous to mention! You can imagine what a great nation " Nigeria" would be!

Carlitos7787! Thanks for your input bro! You're always spot on! And for the moderator of this thread. I think either your High and plain stupid to allow this Ghanian trolls to come here and spew their shit on here! I've said it time and again. THAT SHIT COUNTRY CALLED GHANA IS NO MATCH FOR NIGERIA IN ALL RAMIFICATIONS!! THEY'RE BUNCH OF FUCKTARDS and ATTENTION SEEKERS!

Please I don't mean to derail this thread..... But this is utmost importance! Some scammers are trying to con NL members. Email I got from the scammer!

I don't bloody care, whether Israel gets wiped off from Earth. My concern is don't involve Africa in the war.

Atiku...... I dey laff ohh!

Long Live Akwa Ibom state! I am proud to be an Akwa Ibomite!

But why all this unnecessary provocations. Why do they keep making trouble with this people.

@ free2ryhme; I wonder ohhh!! I posted a very important topic about Israel wanting to attack Iran. I thought a hot topic like that would make the front page.... But for where!!! Rather a topic about Serena williams visiting 9ja that makes no sense, is making front page!!

WASHINGTON/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Sunday that Iran was just six to seven months away from the brink of being able to build a nuclear bomb, adding urgency to his demand that President Barack Obama set a "red line" for Tehran in what could deepen the worst U.S.-Israeli rift in decades.

Taking to the television airwaves to make his case directly to the American public, Netanyahu said that by mid-2013 Iran would be "90 percent of the way" toward enough enriched uranium for a weapon. He again urged the United States to spell out limits that Tehran must not cross if it is to avoid military action - something Obama has refused to do.

"You have to place that red line before them now, before it's too late," Netanyahu said on NBC's "Meet the Press" program, adding that such a U.S. move could reduce the chances of having to attack Iran's nuclear sites.

The unusually public dispute between close allies - coupled with Obama's decision not to meet with Netanyahu later this month - has exposed a gaping U.S.-Israeli divide and stepped up pressure on the U.S. leader in the final stretch of a tight presidential election campaign.

It was the clearest marker Netanyahu has laid down so far on why he has become so strident in his push for Washington to confront Tehran with a strict ultimatum. At the same time, his approach could stoke further tensions with Obama, with whom he has had a notoriously testy relationship.

U.S. officials say Iran has yet to decide on a nuclear "breakout" - a final rush to assemble components for a bomb - and they express high confidence it is still at least a year away from the capacity to build one if it wanted to. This contrasts with Netanyahu's timetable, although he stopped short of saying Iran had decided to manufacture a weapon.

Netanyahu showed no signs of backing off and equated the danger of a nuclear-armed Iran with the Islamist fury that fueled attacks on U.S. embassies across the Muslim world last week and shocked many Americans.

"It's the same fanaticism that you see storming your embassies today. You want these fanatics to have nuclear weapons?" Netanyahu asked in the NBC interview, in a clear emotional appeal to Americans still reeling from the angry protests sparked by a film that mocked the Prophet Mohammad.

There have been no accusations, however, of any Iranian role stoking violence that hit Middle Eastern and African capitals.

I think Israel should leave the US out of this, as America has her own problems. They should deal with their problem! Why must America always help Israel all the time? I smell WW3

Damn!! That Baby resemble wiz kid die!!

UP ARSENAL!!!!!

So saddening, that some people will kill, cause mayhem because of a movie produced in America!!. I am sure America knows who her real friends are, as well as her enemies!!

No hard feelings, If a country say they don't want you in their country. The simple thing is for you to oblige and leave!!

Trantrum

Front page pls!!!!!

Oh my God!! I can't believe this perpetual and serial looser opened his mouth to say he wants to contest in the 2015 polls. Has he forgotten his utterances about Dogs and Baboons being soaked in blood??

I am proud of Nigeria my country

I'll rather die than vote that blood sucking vampire called BUHARI, that had the audacity to call Nigerians Baboons. I say may God punish him and his generation and generation yet unborn

Ma'am I'll advise you take your chances. If you make it to port of entry in Nigeria and explain to them. I am sure they would agree, worst come to worst. Na settlement dem go collect.

That's my 2 cent!!

owugiri: I tried to get a Nigerian passport for my daughter but the Nigerian embassy said that I need a local government certificate for my Daughter. I contacted my local Government for the certificate but they said that my daughter has to be present. But my daughter can't be present at their office if she can't even get a visa to travel to Nigeria.
I am very tired of all the stress. I just gave up.
@Euro Meko, I have begged, I have cried and I am exhausted. Some of the officials here in London are just impossible, they think the world revolves around them. I understand where you are coming from but I have since run out of options.

Justwise, Vicjustice and Shalom.... I want to commend you guys on the fantastic job your doing, more grease to your elbows. My US visa interview is coming up on the 24th of October. I surely will share with the house on the outcome. I am praying it's a positive one.

Hahaha bro!! me too.... I would punch him the face and spit on him!!

Billyonaire: I wish I was at the Airport then, I would have given him a giant punch in the face.

God bless you sir, for your piece!! You've said it all!!

CARLISTO77: The entity, called NIgeria, is inclining towards moribundity and embracing gradually quagmire of decandence.
When a country is being led by enemies of humanity with morbid and avaricious egocentricity of thought, the order
of the way-out becomes asinine, egregious and sorry state of doom...
Soon, Nigeria will metamorphose to devastation, effete and distabilised in her appositeness, whereupon, total division will become imminent.
Door to inevitable direction of a civil war is almost ajar, and when it opens up, Nigeria will become a history.
