Do you think you're writing to a functional thinking human being?

COMPAQ:
Is there ANYTHING in Nigeria that is inspiring

The original cultures that have spread to the whole world, but Nigerians want to eat their own vomit at the dining table.

ifyalways:
^Biko Ezeogu,kpom na rikom gi a na eme edemede gi somehow.

I have a habit of overusing it, but ọ bu otu ha si ka anyi de Igbo.

pleep:
Wow Lmao.

Anyway I think hypocrites shouldn't complain about racism?

Can you see the post above with the amoeba? Why won't a German call him a monkey in his land, he already feels like it.

Sicherheit:
Nigerian Architecture might be uninspiring but the architects are not unrealistic like you are.
How feasible do you think what you just described is?  

What are you talking about. These are rich peoples houses. The billionaires in Nigeria already have this anyway including electric gates and a team of mobile policemen.

lepasharon:
^ dey have houses lyk dat in UK.infact dat is how most of d houses r

Not true, you're talking about this right?

Most houses aren't even like this unless you live in low income neighbourhoods in cities.

This is what most of their houses are like:

This is what I'm talking about:

The owners of these houses actually have a team of armed guards that watch over cctv of the house, unlike Nigeria where armed robbers cut through the barbed wired houses.

Sicherheit:
No fence? No barred windows? No electric wires?
This one is what would be considered a safety hazard in Nigeria.
That country is like opposite country

Actually, I believe such a house would be on a few acres of private property (unlike the cramped mansions of Nigeria) and there will be a gate connected to the main house several meters away, the whole property would be surrounded by a wall covered in bushes and trees.

Talk, talk, talk.

Did the Tunisian revolution start on tunisialand.com?

This is the kind of thing Nigerians are trying to copy.

Sicherheit:
I know safety and security has a lot to do with how the buildings are designed but they can still try to put some imagination to it.

Actually, Nigerian buildings are some of the most dangerous in the world and they regularly collapse.

Just worry about removing your peoples lips from white asses in Lagos.

Let's talk about government buildings. Most government buildings in Nigeria are just wastes of cement. you don't see a variety of materials being used in these buildings like you see in other countries, such as wood or plastic panelling, bricks, outer drainage pipes, emergency exists (in Nigeria ), wheelchair access, panel roofing (or whatever it's called) instead of rusty zinc, you also won't see buildings with outer walls covered in corrugated metal or any other material.

Will we ever see a primary school in Nigeria that looks like this? (Apart from the windows, it's not really that expensive, for Nigeria anyway)

Because Nigeria is living in the shadows of another country (the United States 90% of the time) in almost all areas of life.

Its refreshing!

Don't you watch TV? The amount of bashing and attention we recieve is incredible! While we have ills, all the Lagos themed, Nigeria themed programs are totally tiring

Its refreshing to watch the old dogs biting at each other, breathe a air of relief and watch them tear at each other

I don't know why we don't get people to sponsor whatever researchers we have left in the country and Africa to also do regular reports on the future of UK and how it will break up and become no bigger than Ijebu Ode amongst other critical topics we can concentrate on

Too many things!

Now, enjoy the comments, you enjoy boxing? Enjoy the bashing

On average, no one in the West cares enough about Africa to even watch programmes bashing it. In the UK, however, Welsh, Scottish and Irish people receive daily taunts from English people. There is no song English people has not sung for these people, although this is not as if the rest do not do it back or to each other. The English have also persecuted the other nations more than it has for Nigeria, and I mean physically killing and starving people.
