This should be number 1

Tolexander:
Wow, I love the attention and controversies being generated by this attire.

The attire will surely go places.

AAinEqGuinea:
LOL... yes, a very twisted POV.. then again research has found that many CEOs and entrpenuars are psychopaths

Sile12:
Tissue paper.

AAinEqGuinea:
Lucky.. and made

Zuckerburg later settled out of court when he was sued for his IP theft, but luckily his loses are dismal compared to how much he continues to make of this stolen work.. His mates trusted him so you can make the case Zuckerburg was enabled, thus you can say he was 'made'

Sile12:
Sperm and egg.

Sile12:
Lice and hair.

I guess Dangote's children were not born to be rich. Nor were Otedola et al. You can't use one yardstick to explain life as a whole.
Some born, others made, while yet others lucky.

AAinEqGuinea:
Zuckerburg was an intellectual thief, he stole (and became rich off) his mates' ideas

Why can't for those that immigrated from here? That was why I used the Einstein's example. Didn't Nigeria claim the achievement of Soyinka?

That's the point! Why should they? Whenever a Nigerian "escapes" from Nigeria and excels abroad our leaders start famzing like they pay welfare

Yet foreigners like Lebanese come here to overcome all your so called problems and employ us to "slave" for them. This is where I would blame the government for aiding us to ruin our manufacturing sector. If I was the president, I would ban all unnecessary importations. For instance, anyone who is not satisfied with her hair should go and cut from Nigerian horses to use.

Those lebanese have access to loans from their country and even Nigerian banks will rather grant them and Indians loans over a Nigerian entrepreneur.

Realistically, the government can't make such hasty decisions. If that happens you'll walk around nude and you won't have access to the internet. EVERYTHING is imported in this country. The clothes you are wearing right now is imported and I'm certain you use some imported gadgets in your house. If you have a car, that's imported too as well as your lappy or phone.. So, if you feel ladies should stick to their natural hair, you'll also have to stick to wearing leaves

trapQ:
Quick question: have you ever had a nightmare before? If yes it may interest you to know that the science that says God is not real has proven that "night mares" ( the spiritual entities you see in your sleep which cause "sleep paralysis" are REAL. Why? Because the region in your brain in which you process that memory is the same region where PHYSICAL things (eg your phone, car, house, siblings etc) are stored., so invariably they are saying that if those things weren't real, then the memory (of the nightmares) wouldn't be stored in that location of the brain.

You don't see GODLY entities because you are not on his side. The foolishness of GOD is a million times greater that the wiseness of science.

pickabeau1:
Not only console

I mean the bad images caused by the yahoo yahoo

pickabeau1:
However it helps with sanitizing some of the bad news one hears about the country

pickabeau1:
what does the claiming do for the claimants

If its someone who started from here... I understand

why claim the success of 2nd generation immigrants who almost have no roots back home

theAtheist101:
Yes, we are. The successive military regimes that ruled this country helped us to fight it. They were busy protecting their rule, rather than develop the country. These guys are the root of most the problems we face today, from corruption to education. But gradually we are healing. Even a Jonathan, whom I don't like, helped us to heal and I hope a Buhari would help us heal exponentially.

True

Good of you for making something of yourself, but why not try to make those hairs here? This way, you would employ (more) people and enrich yourself and the country at large more.

First of all, Nigerian ladies don't keep their hair long enough and even when they do they would have spoilt it with relaxer so their hairs have no quality. Secondly, there is really no infrastructure to support manufacturing in this country. No access to loans, when you buy your land you have to pay omo oniles their own share and even after that you have to generate your own electricity(and still pay exhuberant nepa bills), dig your own bore hole to get water and still be faced with bad roads that increase one's expenditure on car maintenance, bribe police check points etc. Even ibo men, despite their ingenuity will rather import finished products because you still save more and make more profit importing finished goods. Believe me, Nigeria still has a long way to becoming a manufacturing nation

There would always be limitations in every endeavour, but we just have to learn to utilise what we have to get what we want. Even citizens of the developed countries cry for a better life. It is just like a second class lower student losing hope in himself, because he saw a student with a 2-1 coming for the same job interview. We can do it -- we have what we need to do the job.

I repeat, Nigeria doesn't kill anyone's dream, because it is nothing without Nigerians, but people kill their own dreams themselves. Most of us just want easy life, so we expect everything to just work normally and smoothly for us, but that is not always the case. Many of us are intellectually lazy (this you should know well with your interaction with those guys in the religion forum.) Imagine the trial and errors we humans did before we evolved from apes. The road was rough, but now we are reaping the benefits with relative easy stress.

I agree. However, this is the basis of this thread. Why claim the achievements of Nigerians in diaspora when it seems almost impossible to replicate those achievements here. Even Nigerians who schooled abroad find it difficult here despite their exposure to sound work ethics

Sad cases like that happen in every country including the USA (http://www.americasquarterly.org/aborn-prisons). Anything human can never be perfect, so injustice would certainly creep in. But it is how we manage our imperfections that matters. The fact is that their are so many criminals in the country now that resulted from the "war" the military fought. So many "unfortunate" criminals and unlucky people are made to queue for trail. Hopefully, with time things would get easier, if we start thinking to solve that problem.

Of course, no where is perfect. Success is an individual thing and has nothing to do with location. I guess I was just thinking out loud

theAtheist101:
Why is Nigeria a dream killer? Is anyone called Nigeria? We make up that Nigeria! Do you own part and I would do mine, then Nigeria would be great. Don't expect us to reach this destination on a "smooth" road. Read about the American industrial revolution -- I believe we can also replicate that in Nigeria, because we have the resources to do so. Finally I ask, where was Germany after the second world war?

theAtheist101:
Why not, everyone does it? Ask Germans who Einstein is.

PassingShot:
OP, you've really done excellently well by not only analyzing the president's statement but also each of the affected positions.

I saw the Chief Wailer's thread late but when I did a quick Google search on Obama's cabinet for 2008 and 2012, I immediately realised the guy's folly. I contemplated doing a counter thread but I decided against it since I had more pressing and more productive things to do.

The Protection Seeker is gifted in spinning facts to suit his purpose of deceiving his gullible and lazy followers, he's best nicknamed "The Spin Doctor". He should be paid very little or no attention to.

The good thing is his sphere of influence is limited to some TANoids on NL and not beyond. He's non-existent on Twitter, not influential on Facebook, not known in the blogging arena and he does not have a column in any of the national dailies. In fact, he is nobody when it comes to political analysis in Nigeria's political landscape. Perhaps if he chooses to do sincere and objective analyses, he may be taken more seriously than now.
