What about those kids with them? Those are not criminals and prostitutes, are they

The whole of Africa, the world for that matter is influenced by CIA. The problem is knowingly, inadvertently or with impunity.

Most notable Blacks and Africans are courted indirectly by CIA through NGO. Take the funding or reject it.

I am glad the writer acknowledged that Soyinka may not have been aware. What we know is that most Blacks and African critics or writers are so funded.

Even our politicians are. Which ethnic group do not have writers, critics and politicians that are not so funded?

Nigerians are right to be skeptical about any Nuclear project. Ajaokuta is a prime example.

But to brutalize optimism viciously is a recipe for staying on our butts forever. Iran is a Nuclear Power today. China starved their people to death to become Nuclear Power.

North Korea is following China steps. If Gadhafi had not been euphoric enough to believe alternate Nuclear promise from the West and foolishly betrayed Pakistan, Libya could have become a Nuclear Power today.

South Africa was a Nuclear Power until Mandela assumed Power. You get it?

Stop attacking one another but continue to be skeptical. Not totally pessimistic. We have to start from somewhere, even hypothesis and theories.

China, Russia and Iran worked hard on stolen nuclear secretes. Nigerians want readymade like everything else. Blame our lack of maintenance mentality and ONE goal through pursuit of only pretty printed paper: MONEY!

The Nigerian professor who makes more money welding.

Kabir Abu Bilal is not your regular Nigerian university professor - he has a second job working as a welder in the northern city of Zaria.

Welding is widely seen as a menial job across Nigeria and he has shocked many - especially his colleagues - by opening up his own welding workshop.

"I am not ashamed that I work as a welder despite being a professor," he tells the BBC. "I make more money from welding."

The 50-year-old teaches and supervises research students at the faculty of engineering at Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria's largest and one of its most prestigious universities.

A toilet cleaner abroad can easily build a house back home in Nigeria more than a bank manager, he can improve his life there easily there too. My classmate who spent ten years jobless after service moved to the UK to work as a caregiver which is even worse than a toilet cleaner while studying, today, he has a masters and PhD in artificial intelligence and is a big boy. Nigeria is a dream killer.

Op is obviously a depraved African with extra colomentality on steroids.

You do not realize the quality of life and culture a man that has risen to be a bank manager has, but long for the grass is greener on the other side.

Another deranged African also said life is better lost in the sea and desert, to slave traders and organ donors or sellers than being shipped into slavery on sugarcane plantations. True because you pay through your nose selling all you have to buy tickets and visa to "achieve" the same sugarcane plantations beds overseas.

It shows you what we had been reduced to when they handed us Bibble and Koran in exchange for gold and slaves.

Of course good infrastructure anywhere makes life easier for poor or working class but that is not the definition of civilized life which is simply ability to live peacefully with one another. Village life where you get enough to eat and drink is what rich people are longing for in rich countries

For the information of Op, life is rougher for lower class worker in America than African middle class. Indeed, their life expectancy is lower as the infant mortality is higher.

Their chances in correctional facilities and being shot are higher than in African countries. So called "good" education for your children is how to deride your culture and deprive you of your children and wives.

Ah, some Africans are irredeemable.

So sad. Even those from good homes become Vagabonds when in Power.

It is harder to find a Nigerian that would not go for the kill of so-called National Cake once opportunity strikes.

Reminds me of how clean our Youths are; of that young Speaker, Bankole. Even Emifiele was supposed to be a clean fellow.

Everywhere in the world, they will confirm how educated Nigerians are. But what do they do with the education?

Use it to turn the richest country in Africa into abject Poverty stricken people after foreign oil income!

I agree with you until the bolded part. A drunk say the same for temporary escape from his problems.

caye:
Honestly, oga googi, it seems we've not seen anything yet.
.
The best is to flee for sometime. The land may be cleansed by war, fire and blood ( genocide), because of karma.

So sad.

By the way every culture practiced human sacrifice at one time, not only Africans. Indeed, the world today are ruled by superpowers that practice human sacrifice for Power and economic gains in the name of Collateral Damage.

My friend face the truth: Greed and Money worshippers are the problems of Nigerians that is pulling the rest of Black people down worldwide.

Money Worshippers do not realize that money has no value but what you do with it. Paper is just a promissory note that can be devalued and made worthless.

Only fools consume what they cannot pay for beyond what they produce.

Does it matter at this point whether his father or mother is Igbo or Hausa?

This is the only influential man that speaks and spoke the truth to any power even before he became a Civilian President and almost lost his life for that.

You do not have to agree with him on everything.

Obi case is a different matter.

Why do you guys talk abi na write sef without memory or history.

OBJ almost sent them packing or reduced to part time politicians when they rose up ready to impeach him.

This is the cause of mismanagement, high inflation and devaluation in Nigeria borrowing to pay the most obscene salaries and allowances in the world.

Instead of mass Protest on minimum wage that is going to increase the prices of goods and services sending us back to where we started,

Obnoxious politicians salaries and allowances should be cause of Mass Protests.

viyon02:
When he had the time to change all that was necessary, but no he decided to lick the asses of northern elders. Now, he want to be relevant by putting unnecessary pressure on the Senate, if it was easy he could have done it when he had the chance.

New failure of Black men started from Nigeria after the Oil Income Curse. It puts Nigerians and Africans into abject poverty never seen in the history of mankind.

So anyone urging or preaching prudence is wasting her time. If those rescued, returning from the desert and sea cannot convince those on their way in Mali and other border countries, who could rescue Africans from slave mentality?

Most of the destitute, low class and multiple jobs workers have been replaced by Africans abroad. Yet, they continue day dreaming about ABROAD

Pity!

If Awolowo had only stayed in the West like Amadu Bello did in the North, corruption that consumed Nigeria because of oil income could have had less effect in the glorious Region.

He did more with meager Cocoa Income than Nigeria including Jonathan of all people did with Oil Income.

It is not how much you make but how you spend it.

So Soyinka na your grandpa that must protest for you from his youth into his old dying years, while you curse and insult him for fighting your causes, abi.

As you run out or japa pointing left fingers to your villages.

Abeg, Soyinka die for dem like an old fool, you hia

There are several words depending on the situation.

Fariga is probably closer.

Taku is another as in Akintola Taku

Kori is another as in Agbekoya Kori

Ibinu also qualify as in Ile Ibinu

People have short memories. They forget that Trump was a payback backlash for electing Barak Obama.

Biden defeated Trump because they preferred another white guy to him. It does not matter that those who think this way are not majority of Americans but enough to decide who becomes elected.

Kamilla Harris should be the obvious choice but if Biden withdrew, the so-called independent voters will push Trump in again. If they think Biden is too frail, wait until after election to push Kamilla in.

Be careful of what you wish for.

Let us be fair, it is not only Ijaw. This CURSE is on most Nigerians. Even in Western Nigeria.

It is what the North is known for. They have been ruling Nigeria longer than any other ethnic group with absolute nothing to show for it except some individuals that remain the oligarchy joined by their military officers.

The one about Ijaw is so pathetic, no be small. The New foreign income that found new wealth or curse comes from their areas. By suffering from the devastating Oil spill and destroyed environment, you would think with the coming of Jonathan, they would be more sensible than the rest of us. No o!

It's our money we can spend it anyway we want. Boy! They sure did.

The Igbo ruled the country as civilian and military Presidents handing over to one another like Zik did, then another Igbo military took over. Yet they cry everyday that they never ruled or too short. But even Ironsi short rule changed Nigeria forever from Regional Power to Federal Power.

The Yoruba left their golden nest in the West for Federal politics and lost it all.

Ah, pain catch you but shame no dey catch you.

Shey LinkedIn na im China dey show?

Oponu!

Another form of audio.

Typical Nigerian using achievements outside where Nigerians dare not steal or slack off as an example.

I have said it many times that if Nigerians can only work half as hard as they do outside, our country would be showcasing China Engineering miracle.

No oh! They are ready to mention some Nigerians that are temporary Heads of the Dog Catchers outside.

Sodom dia dey collect foreign kickbacks you hai.

SocialJustice:
You don't know them does not mean they don't exist, Iweala was in the world bank for 25 years and nobody knew her until Obasanjo brought her home, same for Segun Agangan.

Thoroughbred professionals don't have time for online noise making.

Go to LinkedIn and see engineers that fit your description in surplus.

Carter Bridge was constructed before many of us were born. Eko Bridge nko or Third Mainland Bridge.

Yet no Nigerian intern, iron worker or university apprentice has become Africa or world class Engineer.

Why? Kickbacks from foreigners.

Solution: Bar Beach Show. When we jailed Fela and Dr. Harold Shodipo, our money was pound for pound or seven and six to the dollar.

Spare the rod and throw Nigeria into abject Poverty.

I have never heard or read the word before

Sonobagun came from son of a gun (actually the gun replaced the the word that rhymes with witch.

Sonnobashiere or sonobawere comes from son of were.

helinues:
Which one be Sonobagun again?

You are joking, right?

Try Sonoba-shiere!

The same Nigerians that used to get red carpet welcome almost everywhere, now when they see our passport, alarm goes on.

Who put this curse on Nigerians while we beat our chests and celebrate?

The ingrained inferiority complex reinforced by European branding breeds people like those condemning their types.

Unfortunately, Nigerians the hope of Blacks worldwide led the packs of these vultures.

Teach them history of African Greats, they call it past tense. Teach them the history of Black Wall Street, Nigerians of all people deride the plight of Black Americans.

Solution to Black Plight ? Retrace your step in Nigeria instead of pointing to your home with your left fingers. An abomination in Africa.

What do you need to retrace? All you need to ask yourselves is how the richest country in Africa with meager incomes from Cocoa, Palm Oil and Groundnuts while Asians were selling their children to eat, became the world's center of abject Poverty.

Abject Poverty O! After deluge of Oil Incomes that turned Arabian deserts into Paradise!

Nigerian millionaires today are spending their own money to cross deserts and seas knowing full well the chances of being captured as slaves, used for organ transplant, prostitutes or their mouth as shit collectors; are greater than success.

Yet you have "experts" like Depriest2020 and co. blaming victims instead of demonstrating what they have personally done locally before condemning others.

Nigerians remain the most hardworking people and smartest but redirected to fraud and easy MONEY MONEY MONEY. Nothing else matters. Not dignity, not honor, not culture, not ambition to discover what Europeans "rediscovered" and patented from Africa.

Nigeria is where most competent men would be suffocated before they gain prominence.

Ask ostentatious Nigerians why: dem dey jealous us!

Here we go again!

There are too many similarities in culture, Orisha, history and interactions between Yoruba and Bini. Until late revisions of history, all Oba of Bini were WILLING participants in the Yoruba Oba meetings.

Even the Ogiso of Edo came from Ife. The fact is most historians from all sides never denied the relationship until suzerainty of who was the father or son comes in.

This has become a repeated broken record. Ogun River is no where near Bini but all Yoruba worshipped Ogun.

Trump won on Showmanship peddling lies and scary future for the greatest country on earth.

Biden got a slow start but head on and better thereafter.

Biden won on Policy.
