Nigerian piracy is growing and becoming a menace to West Africa.

These social misfits are becoming bolder with each passing day, pirating mainly oil vessels.

WIth the increase in oil exploratianal activities in West Africa, piracy is fast becoming a lucrative business for these Nigerians.

Is Nigerian lawlessness and waywardness becoming a source of worry to other West African countries?

Religion is much ado about nothing, but hey, it gives meaning to peoples lives and to others, peace, satisfaction and joy. So if you ask me, though it's bull crap let people believe and practice what they want.  The world is perhaps more sane with all this religious block heads trying to do the right thing because they fear an imaginary mystic power would punish them if they don't. Not a bad deal for mankind if only others would live and lets live.

The danger here is that as much as religion could be a force for good, it could be also a force for evil, and we are all witnesses to the destructive power of religion. There are those who have their heads deeply burried in this religious mumbo jumbo, that, they believe in the absolute superior devinity of the their religion and would be prepared to go to war or kill  others for the sake of their religion. It makes no sense at all.

If only they would understand that when you die religion is useless because we humans created religion.

Without humans religion is useless, so it's dumb, very dumb to die for a religion.

Religion is a means to an end and not an end.

Use religion to make you a better human.  

Even  if ever there is any heaven, God would not allow you to enter heaven just because you subscribed to a religion.

He would like to know whether you were a good or bad person.

CNN conducted a survey. Naija came 5th best/romantic accent in the world. Apart from that, I have come across different nationalities when I was in school outside Naija and they commended our accent plenty of times.

I see no reason why we should try to imitate others. We have to curtail the massive inferiority complexes swinging around in our society.

Kudos to the OP for that observation and for sharing your thoughts.

What survey was that? What criteria was used to determine the best accent? Any body in CNN can put anything out there for the fun of it.
It doesn't mean a squat so don't let it go into your head.

I don't think so!

Nigerian English is heavily accented with Nigerian Piggin english which makes it impossible to sometimes understand unless you are familiar with Nigerian piggin. I don't think it's clearer than Ghanaian English.

You said it all. I don't know why some people can't be themselves.

When last did we hear an American trying to imitate Nigerian accent to belong. The last time I checked, Nigeria has one of the best accent in the world.

Some have not even traveled beyond Ghana as Princek12 pointed out. Why can't some of our people appreciate what they have?

Na who said Nigeria has the best accent in the world? Whoever said so may be drunk.

Why, afraid to discuss?

Nigeria’s image was again suffered a horrible blow in Ghana on Thursday following the arrest of one Alhaji Rasheed Bello and his wife by the police in Yamoransa, near Cape Coast. Bello’s activities in the last few days became suspicious to his neighbours and since he was known to be a herbalist, no one dared confront him, rather, they called the police and reported their suspicions.
Unknown to Bello and his wife, the police had placed them under surveillance. According to the District Police Officer, “after we got the tip off, we got into the house and surprisingly, we saw pieces of human parts including hands and legs in a Ghana Must Go bag still dripping with blood. They were cut in a way that that gives you an impression that they were actually meant to be cooked. We also saw two human heads, which makes us believe that the victims are two.”
Street Journal gathered that when 42 year old Alhaji Bello realised that his secret moves were about to become public knowledge, he allegedly made an attempt to bribe the policemen. And going by the Ghanaian constitution, his effort at bribing the police would only worsen his case as he might also be charged for attempting to bribe officers in a bid to prevent the law from taking its course.
Mr. Stephen Ando Kwofie, the District Police Officer disclosed that as soon as Bello’s wife, Fausatu saw that policemen already had her husband, she tried to escape but was quickly apprehended.
The news which has started travelling across the whole of Ghana has left many Nigerians sad. Street Journal also gathered that there are more than one million Nigerians doing business and schooling in Ghana.
