look up the Meiji restoration. Japan advanced from the middle ages to first world status in 20 years. China, Japan and Korea, the highest IQ countries in the world have developed like rocketships

Africa develops at a past commensurate to the stupidity of her people, even when Africa has economic growth it rarely improves the lives of the people.

I disagree, IQ test has little to do with the development of this countries... your choice to explain the lack of development in countries by IQ's reflects a lack of understanding of the factors which are relevant to development. IQ results are a function of the development and not vice-versa. Most of the problems that have faced African countries have little to do with the intelligence level and more to do with the inherent divisions between the ethnicities within Africa and individual interest.

Meiji restoration is not a reflection of intelligence, is shows that japan was already a nation in their own right, however, Africans are now finding their national identities, because their identities were broken down and reconstructed abstractly, therefore what as obstructed development most in Africa is a lack of sustained periods of peace, As peace gradually returns to African countries, development follows as, it is evident that some of the fastest developing economies in recent years as been in Africa.

[size=20pt]IF YOU ARE COMPLAINING NOW, WAIT FOR 2019...[/size]

well, that is bullshit! The IQ of different african countries are not the same, no extensive study of QI's relation to development... countries in Asia have the highest IQ's yet they still have some way to go... Africa will fight it's demons and slowly take it place in the world stage... selective reproduction? based on an IQ test? why not just kill people them, I hope you know IQ test are faulty too. Every society learns from past mistakes and slowly evolves, africans have independece not too long a ago, now slowly coming to terms with nationalism even with so much ethnic diversity, I say Africa is on the right track... nothing happens overnight... how many years before britain became what it is today after independece from rome? or Amerca after independece from Britain? things a progressing steadily...

Not too long ago, former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio was involved in an accident and rushed abroad to an undisclosed hospital. Opponents of his party, especially members of the APC from Akwa Ibom State went wild with allegations, innuendos and counter allegations that the SPECIALIST HOSPITAL Akpabio commissioned was a scam and that there was no equipment in the hospital; neither was there any plans to make the hospital functionable.

It did not end there. The APC also accused Akpabio of double standards, insisting that he built an unequipped hospital in Uyo, which was why he could not get treatment in the hospital.

Buttressing their wild allegations further, a video went viral on the net showing Akpabio being interviewed by one Gbenga Arulegba of the AIT, where Akpabio previously said the state had spent about 5billion for equipment in the hospital.

Returning from his medical trip abroad, Senator Akpabio said he did not neglect the specialist hospital he built for treatment abroad. He further said that the hospital is completed, commissioned and ready for use but why operations were stalled was because medical experts and personnel engaged were still undergoing visa processes and work permit related issues.

After Akpabio’s well thought out explanation, many took it with levity while others did not buy it at all.

Few days ago, I was on duty at the Akwa Ibom State International hospital to investigate and know the true state of the hospital. To my bewilderment, operations had started at the hospital with an avalanche of medical experts from India, Nigeria and other countries of the world.

I spoke with the expatriates one after the other and was not only perplexed at the calibre of medical personnel engaged but also at the first class equipment which I saw and their functions.

At this juncture, I must say without any iota of doubt or apology to anyone that I am so proud of former governor Godswill Akpabio for the hospital project.

This project will see Europeans, Africans, and Nigerians coming to Akwa Ibom state for medical treatment. The hospital will be a money-spinner for the state and in no sooner time, the state will take over medical tourism in Africa.

According to Dr. Adekanbi Remilekun, “Akwa Ibom people are blessed to have this kind of facility in their state”. while Dr. Nick Nazilrh, a Leparoscopy surgeon, said his family in Europe will have no other place for medical check up and treatment than in Akwa Ibom State.

By this gesture, every right-thinking Akwa Ibom person should be proud of Senator Godswill Akpabio just as I am.

There is no difference between APC and PDP except name and logo.


Infact, Buhari is turning out to be more clueless than GEJ ever was

you're very right, however, I now believe that because the critisms of Nigerians was getting to GEJ and that he would have done better in his second term compared to now, because buhari doesn't even seem to care about nigerians lamentations, but just my guess!

obailala:
Your comment which I quoted, what did it have to do with fuel scarcity?... The thread was about the commonwealth meeting, you opened it to rant about 'corrupt cow molester' and then about money said to have been returned from corrupt officials, and then you are now talking about fuel scarcity. The incoherence of your arguments is what I diagnosed in my earlier statement.

How is Fuel scarcity not relevant to the argument, when you have clearly insinuated that I am a Jonathan supporter because I dispute the idea that money has been returned to Nigeria, if the central bank is not aware of it. Fuel subsidy was a keenly disputed policy by Buhari during his campaign. Fuel scarcity is due to subsidy, an idea which Buhari has claimed in the past is a lie, this is obviously dishonest for a leader.
Buhari's government lacks transparency, something on the same scale as the OBJ presidency, he has invaded Akwa Ibom govt. declared to have found Guns and dollars in luggage bags, but then nothing, disobeyed judicially and display immense ignorance on power afforded to him by constitution, callous towards nigerians and failed to show any leadership in terms of policy direction. I don't care about politicians, I care about Nigerians and the future the young population we have because obviously this old dimwits are the architects of the failure Nigeria is today and Buhari is showing signs of making it, even worst for future Nigerians.

Frustrated jonathanian spotted...

Your frustration shall continue till 2019 and even beyond. Only you can change it by disabusing your mind.

who cares about Jonathan... poor Nigerians are sleeping at filling station, you are taking about a former president that probably has enough contacts to delivery fuel to him on the moon.

Buhari is bloody failure!

[size=15pt]of course, both Israel and turkey are american allies, but Israel didn't bomb it like turkey, a bit more matured reaction![/size]

NAIJASOM:


There more to mention but I will stop here. What does this mean for the future of Nigeria?

well, Nigeria is Screwed! if oil is gone, Nigeria is bound to become a failed state, and the Northerners will feel the most pain, rightly so!

Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala explained to the Bank that N18.60bn was spent on roads;
N10.83bn spent on health;
N7bn spent on education;
N6.20bn spent on water;
and N21.70bn spent on electricity.

well, At least he speaks like someone who is well educated and intelligent unlike some of our leaders, but I have to say I will quite pissed, if the first phase of the Ibom Deep Seaport not not done by the end of four years!
