don't understand what ds is all about Point out what's wrong with ds picture? Or how did that offend u or me Abeg, u can do better now!

I tire oooo . To even say this took over 5pages of bashing....it shows that there is a problem with Africa... Yet some people will pick guns and bombs to defend whatever ridiculous message the op was trying to pass. #Discord.

After reading all posts under this topic... I am an Ibo boy yet I reserve no resentment towards the fellow Nigerian. I see a reason why Africa remains a giant stumbling on mosquito limbs. No politician is worth dying for... if u try avenging an age-long ethnic vendetta. Can't you jst see beyond this ethnicity? Black Americans were united by a common struggle; of course after the shame of slavery and racism. When will Nigerians wake up?

Akinsz:
Only if get power to kill. I will just kill all the corrupt leaders, all of them.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. That would make you corrupt too.

Ps- disregard my grammar bro. Me sef dey wish say i get am o

lekhane:
Exactly! Meaning they won't give us the independence so easily, so am sure the struggle and bloodshed that would have followed will make our leaders patriotic and not just think of their selves above the people

I think you have a point there: we placing value on our nationhood because we fought for it like black Americans and South Africans. The absence of the struggle makes us complacent; those who did are no more.

Udochee:
thanx bro...ow we go do d application letter ish

Me sef dey ikd oooo. Make I sare arrange mine... Bt I m a student in my finals now. Hw do I certify myself

lekhane:
I'll allow the british to still colonize us longer than 1960. It is obvious we weren't ready to rule ourselves or maybe if we had fought harder for independence, our leaders would appreciate it and not just treat the masses anyhow

But remember that the Europeans didn't come with a settler's policy. Na to thief and export to their large markets in Europe. Imagine they were still around when oil was found in Oloibiri (commercial quantity)

senorova:
I would change the decision of the British to grant us independence in 1960. That was the beginning of Nigeria's doom. The Hausa, igbo, and yorubas sought for power rather than proritizing the building of a great nation.

The british handed indepence to us when we were still children...


Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying I do not support Nigeria's independence, I'm only saying that the timing was wrong.

Do you remember, was it 1958 or 1959 conference in Lagos... When Enahoro under AG moved the motion for independence and the northern leaders felt it was too early. The end of the conference was chaotic though...

Rich4god:
I will stop the first coup... And erase any idea of coup from the mind of our military... Who knws, 50yrs of democracy could have taken us to a great height...

I tell you man. Jst a pity that some people donot understand that a military govt in this century is a sign of backwardness

motherlode:
I will change the black skin, black mind mentality.

Was scared when I saw black skin.... You right the mentality needs to go

IGBOSON1:
I'd go back in time with a loaded gun and take out Lord Lugard!!!

The puppet of the architects

Moving far back in time; if you remember your history, the present-Africa is a result of the Berlin Conference of 1884-85 (Africa was literally shared amongst European Empires- Britain, Belgium, Portugal, France, etc).

Furthermore, Nigeria became an amalgam of different regions in 1914. Leaving some marooned in Benin, Cameroun, Chad, Togo...(results of Europe's arbitrary Boundary demarcation.)

If I had the power I would have changed this... Just wishes…. Pls add yours.

Ps- Dnt mind my typing..autocorrect na bebeto

Just as a sick man in his dying bed has a heavy heart laden with lots of grief and regrets of things unaccomplished, I sat there in the fields that warm evening starring at the faculty building with mixed feelings of achievement and regrets.
I had lived the life of a perfect student. I had great passion for studying and some sort of insatiable desire for knowledge. I excelled in every of my examinations and this feat spurred up the feeling of invincibility in my subconscious mind.
I wasn't a popular fellow but I believe that mentioning my name portrayed the picture of a focused student with outstanding academic abilities in the mind of the few that knew me. Those few years, I always pictured a beautiful future with me in it doing great things.
However, I began to realize the big gap between me and the rest of the world. The wall I built between me and my friends as a freshman. Gradually, I knew names of authors and textbooks and yet hardly remembered the names of friends. It dawned on me that in few months, I would not be seeing some of my friends anymore, probably forever. I would miss them for life. Their smiles, discussions and company would be memories.
Though its a wonderful thing that as I ROUND UP my undergraduate studies, I have an academic record to be proud of, I had some regrets and some feelings that haunt me. I couldnt help it. Its the price I paid.

Some days I wish there were 30 hours in a day.
I knew how to manage my time but my schedule favored my books more.
Some folks would say "you can't have your cake and eat it." Well I believe I can afford yet another 'cake' God willing.
I wish I spent more time listening to my friends when they cared to speak.
I wish I was more flexible.
I wish I spent more time with the people I loved.
I wish I spent more time to discuss with my professors.
I wish I reciprocated the attention I received from my colleagues.
I wish I took the time to reach out to my junior colleagues with words of advice and encouragement.
I wish I created the time to reach out to my professors and seniors for advice, coaching and mentorship.
I wish I spent more time building my network of contacts and associates.
I wish I had the time to tutor my mates that failed their courses or had a hard time passing them.
I wish I gave out my heart to love and be loved in return.
I wish I took the time to observe my changing world.
Nevertheless, as I sat there, I was consoled of the fact that I still had few more months left and I swore to make a difference within that little space of time. I wouldnt have felt any better.
To my fellow scholars and graduates, who by hard work and devotion have come out of university with a First, I say congratulations on your well deserved feat.
To intending university students and undergraduates, you have endless possibilities, you posses the power to achieve your dreams if only you'll believe in yourself. There are sacrifices which you must be willing to make. Though I regret some of mine, that is the price for success, you would agree with me its not much of a bad regret. Nothing goes for nothing.
What people say doesn't really matter. Other students often speak badly about certain lecturers and courses. Its their way of justifying their failure. You hear phrases like "he is a wicked lecturer", "nobody makes an 'A' in that course". Never let those words bother you. I tell you what? Listen to them and take note of it to work harder. I performed better in the toughest courses.
Never underestimate your potentials for the difference between you and the best guy in class is the time he devotes for study. Well natural intelligence is a factor too. By mentioning study, I don't mean blindly memorizing just to pass your tests. Go out and develop this passion for your discipline that would drive you to study with genuine interest in the subject.
In your spare time, talk to your lecturers and professors about your favorite topic and your career. Read outside your course content, sometimes outside your discipline to be enlightened.
Never forget to strike a balance between your academics and your social life; you'll need it in the real world.
Be good to everybody you meet, show them love and respect. Talk to someone, live the moment, have fun and feel the world around you.
Find every reason to be happy after all life is too short.

First class indeed! The word is "round off". *Modified* I nurtured modest intentions when I corrected that. Apologies for the sarcasm.
