Very correct. While in uk years back, what keeps me going is visiting was visiting skyscrapers.com and glancing thru pic of places in Nigeria. At a point I was shedding tears while doing this. You are very correct. Very very. |

The biggest country in Africa that the United Kingdom colonized is Nigeria. The biggest country that the United Kingdom colonized in Asia is India (which then comprised the present Pakistan and Bangladesh). When the UK came into Nigeria and India, like all other countries they colonized, they brought along their technology, religion (Christianity), and culture: names, dressing, food, language, etc. Try as hard as the British did, India rejected the British religion, names, dressing, food, and even language, but they did not reject the British technology. Today, 80.5% of Indians are Hindus; 13.4% Muslims; 2.3% Christians; 1.9% Sikhs; 0.8% Buddhists, etc. Hindi is the official language of the government of India, but English is used extensively in business and administration and has the status of a “subsidiary official language.” It is rare to find an Indian with an English name or dressed in suit. On the other hand, Nigeria embraced, to a large extent, the British religion, British culture – names, dressing, foods, and language – but rejected the British technology. The difference between the Nigerian and the Indian experiences is that while India is proud of its heritage, Nigeria takes little pride in its heritage, a situation that has affected the nationalism of Nigerians and our development as a nation. Before the advent of Christianity, the Arabs had brought Islam into Nigeria through the North. Islam also wiped away much of the culture of Northern Nigeria. Today, the North has only Sharia Courts but no Customary Courts. So from the North to the South of Nigeria, the Western World and the Eastern World have shaped our lives to be like theirs and we have lost much or all of our identity. Long after the British and Arabs left Nigeria, Nigeria has waxed strong in religion to the extent that Nigerians now set up religious branches of their home-grown churches in Europe, the Americas, Asia and other African countries. Just like the Whites brought the gospel to us, Nigerians now take the gospel back to the Whites. In Islam, we are also very vibrant to the extent that if there is a blasphemous comment against Islam in Denmark or the US, even if there is no violent reaction in Saudi Arabia, the Islamic headquarters of the world, there will be loss of lives and destruction of property in Nigeria. If the United Arab Emirates, a country with 75% Muslims, is erecting the tallest building in the world and encouraging the world to come and invest in its country by providing a friendly environment, Boko Haram ensures that the economy of the North (and by extension that of Nigeria) is crippled with bombs and bullets unless every Nigerian converts to Boko Haram’s brand of Islam. In the East we have IPOB wrecking havoc. While in the South - South region, Mend, Avengers and so on destroying the Heart of our Nations Economy. We are indeed a very religious people. Meanwhile, while we are building the biggest churches and mosques, the Indians, South Africans, Chinese, Europeans and Americans have taken over our key markets: telecoms, satellite TV, multinationals, banking, oil and gas, automobile, aviation, shopping malls, hospitality, etc. Ironically, despite our exploits in religion, we are a people with little godliness, a people without scruples. It is rare to do business with a Nigerian pastor, deacon, knight, elder, brother, sister, imam, mullah, mallam, alhaji or alhaja without the person laying landmines of bribes and deception on your path. We call it PR, facilitation fee, processing fee, transport money, financial engineering, deal, or whatever. But if it does not change hands, nothing gets done. And when it is amassed, we say it is “God’s blessings.” Some people assume that sleaze is a problem of public functionaries, but the private sector seems to be worse than the public sector these days. One would have assumed that the more churches and mosques that spring up in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, the higher the morals in our society. But it is not so. The situation is that the more religious we get, the baser we become. Our land never knew the type of bloodshed experienced from religious extremists, political desperadoes, ritual killers, armed robbers, kidnappers, internet scammers, university cultists, and lynch mobs. Life has become so cheap and brutish that everyday seems to be a bonanza. We import the petroleum that we have in abundance, rice and beans that our land can produce in abundance, and even toothpicks that primary school children can produce with little or no effort. Yet we drive the best of cars and live in the best of edifices, visit the best places in the world for holidays and use the most expensive electronic and telecoms gadgets. It is now a sign of poverty for a Nigerian to ride a saloon car. Four-wheel drive is it! Even government officials, who were known to use only Peugeot cars as official cars as a sign of modesty, have upgraded to Toyota Prado, without any iota of shame, in a country where about 70 per cent live below poverty. Private jets have become as common as cars. A nation that imports toothpicks and pins, flaunts wealth and wallows in ostentation at a time its children are trooping to Ghana, South Africa and the UK for university education and its sick people are running to India for treatment. India produces automobile and exports it to the world. India’s medical care is second to none, with even Americans and Europeans travelling to the country for medical treatment. India has joined the nuclear powers. India has launched a successful mission to the moon. Yet bicycles and tricycles are common sights in India. But in Nigeria, only the wretched of the earth ride bicycles. I have intentionally chosen to compare Nigeria with India rather than China, South Korea, Brazil, Malaysia, or Singapore, because of the similarities between India and Nigeria. But these countries were not as promising as Nigeria at the time of our independence. Some would say that our undoing is our size: the 2012 United Nations estimate puts Nigeria’s population at 166 million, while India has a population of about a billion. Some would blame it on the multiplicity of ethnic groups: we have 250 ethnic groups; India has more than 2000 ethnic groups. Some would hang it on the diversity in religion: we have two major religions – Christianity and Islam; but India has many. Some would say it is because we are young as an independent nation: we have 56 years of independence; India has 65 years, while apartheid ended in South Africa only in 1994. I am a Christian, and nothing can change me from Christianity. But I think that our country is daily sinking into religiosity to the detriment of godliness. Our land is sick and needs healing. “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” is still a saying that is germane to our current situation. We need more godliness than religion; more work and less hope; and more action and less words. Let everyone tidy up his or her corner first and demand fervently that our leaders tidy their areas of governance. Our nation is degenerating at a fast pace and we need to save it now. |
Anthony Joshua receives ‘huge site offer’ to fight Deontay Wilder-Tyson Fury winner The boxing world is considering a fight between Aj and the winner between Wilder and Fury, but before that comes up, sometime in May or June this year, Aj vs Kubrat fight will hold. The good thing about Aj vs Kubrat fight is Kubrat think if the fight is staged in Nigeria he stand a chance to gain a lot of money. Here’s what an insider in Aj’s Camp says: ‘Kubrat Pulev is the frontrunner,’ said Hearn. ‘I think we’ve established that the IBF mandatory was called before the WBO mandatory’. ‘Pulev is the fight for me, and more importantly for the boss, AJ, he wants it here. He’s boxed now in Saudi Arabia for his last fight, he’s boxed in New York before that’. ‘For me, it’s time to come home. The bad news is that Kubrat Pulev wants as much money as possible for this fight and he realises there’s more money in Istanbul, or Saudi Arabia, or the Congo, or Nigeria, but AJ is going to call the shots’. https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/23/anthony-joshua-receives-huge-offer-fight-deontay-wilder-tyson-fury-winner-boxing-12112647/?fbclid=IwAR3mvCV-L0W8IlWb04K79Nevh6W9f2sKGzZfM_gJrJwQtVma3h-7f_Nlzi0

Your kids should be done for animal slaughter |
Gosh!!! When will some people realize shoprite is a name of a store in Malls in Nigeria? |
apoti:Dstv or any channel can purchase the exclusive right and resell to other channels at high price. |
smat101:Hey bro refrain from beating her that would be a big mistake on your part and refrain from beating the guy don’t take law into your hand it could bounce back. Report matter to police She’s a minor she can be manipulated which is what that guy did. First thing I’d suggest you do is 1) get that bastard arrested and make sure you kid sister is actively aware of every move you make in arresting the bastard, by so doing she should understand what the bastard was trying to do is wrong and have severe consequences and she will know well to report if such situation comes up again. 2) It’s VERY good you can discuss sex, bf gf relationship with you kid sister. Next thing I think you should do is sit her down and let her understand the grave mistake she almost got herself into. Site examples of people who got in such mistake at her age and how difficult life is with them, such examples are not far fetched you should find in your neighborhood. 3) deny her access to internet. The best you can do is talk to her very very thoroughly and a lil bit of scolding but not beating should do. |
LiftedMan:What a myopic thinking. Go to other countries embassy in Nigeria and check out what nationals work there. |
Those of you living on the island you can watch it at sailors lounge.

Why give them your phone in the first place? |
My heart bleeds. My heart bleeds. How can Nigerians display such level of gullibility? What a generation of waste we have become in Nigeria. ![]() |
voltron14:No mind them. Audio sugar |
Frankiss44:A car that falls in eg river will get filled with water even if the windows were wound up. No car is 100% sealed. That car was in an enclosure, once the enclosure is fillied up gas will sip into car through the tiniest of spaces available. Like I said, no car is 100% sealed. |
Bobrisky1:Yeah I get. Just thinking if there was a leak and gas somehow finds it’s way in the car. Best is not to sleep in car with engine running |
I once did this ignorant thing one night when me and my friend were going to Peckham from Manchester for the first Mohit show in UK years back. When we couldn’t find our way to Peckham at night, we decided to park, turn on car heater with car running and slept off. Good thing we were in a very ventilated area. Na so man for die? |
The long standing dispute between Nigerian pop star, Dbanj and his former manager Bankulli has been provoked again as they’ve both taken to Instagram to troll themselves. Now, Bankulli, still in response to Dbanj’s comment about him, in no holds barred Instagram post ripped into Dbanj and advised him against doing drugs. “Doing Drugs will not help you but worsen your case (I heard about White powder) a shining prospect and you use your bad character to bloat all Away. Hmmm It is never too late to go and seek truthfully the forgiveness and truth you seek look inward change your lifestyle stop lying to yourself that all is well but go back to the source so that all can be well with you. You have done so much evil to many people that we both know of and today I speak for them all. (Dbanj Aka The Kokomaster alias kokomycine… *Drops mic)” https://kelsoblog9ja.com/2019/11/14/you-have-done-so-much-evil-to-people-doing-drugs-will-worsen-your-case-bankulli-slams-dbanj/?fbclid=IwAR3x7bzpwTCjjhZzYuQPp-DbSCaJEm5w8eLo51t8W617uoejZilRvFvLUE0

Y’all remember the Kemi and Ore story? Well he ditched his friend’s advice and went for Ore |
Initially I did when I settled for a job of 60k salary per month with a masters degree from a uk university. But now when I look back I smile and say it’s worth the sacrifice after all. |
the Mercedes-Benz. It said: Rolls-Royce‘s parent company, BMW, also posted a similar troll on its twitter page : Some of the pictures attached to the posts hints at the fact that the Mercedes-AMG E53 dresses up as its secret superhero – the BMW M5. Daimler’s AG jokingly fired back to mock the massive radiator grille that comes with the M5. It said, The Mercedes-AMG E53 Versus The BMW M5 [img]https://imagizer./img921/769/yfVx6o.jpg[/img] All three body styles of the Mercedes-AMG E53 —sedan, coupe, and convertible—share the same 429 horsepower turbocharged inline-six /[/quote]God made man... man made BMW |
supremenews:Great!! Nigerians are gradually waking up from deception called religion. #StayWoke guys. |
My wish is coming through. I’ve always wished for flood to take over that bridge may be then that road will get fed. Gout attention. Thousands of vehicles including Dangote trucks and siren blaring SUV’s belonging to politicians go pass this bridge for onward trip to Abuja. This is Ekiti - Lokoja - Abuja road. Shame of a nation |
What a beautiful film. But why did i read this story with tears almost streaming down my eyes. I’m becoming too soft to have balls btw my legs I think. |
GAZZUZZ:But some cars are strictly built for synthetic oil. How about that? |
LostAddict:Are you for real about tstv? |
