i am the strongest weakling from my family.

i experienced a real dream last night

a liar's truth

dead man walking
professional amateur

end of the beginning
a melted ice
free payment
i'm in the land of the living dead

tears of joy
the student teacher
the learning teacher
to infinity and beyond
the buckwild conservative

Almost sure
big baby
little mountain
watching a talk show on a top floor
far too close
forgotten memory

It's the oxymoron game.
------------------------------


You're a fine mess
we're together alone
breathing dead
eyes wide shut

I love oxymorons, I'm gonna make one in the games section.

white house > aso rock
bush > yar'adua
hollywood > nollywood
yankee education > usually unrecognized naija education
american public schools >>>>>nigerian public schools
american health care > nigerian health care (even our leaders go abroad to seek treatments)
american economy > nigerian economy

but hey, let's blame the people, right?

it seems we gentlemen on nairaland have a bad reputation with our ladies.

Why Won't Nigerians Badmouth Nigeria, when the vast majority of the population are only interested in their personal well being.

If every man did something for personal gain, every time they could, knowing that it would bring hurt upon someone else. Then the world would be full of corrupt people.

A people willing to destabilize societies, simply for their gain, is a corrupt people and a corrupt society. And a corrupt society is why we have goddam corrupt leaders.

The problem with Nigeria isn't the Government, it's common Nigerians. So to insult Nigeria, would be hypocritical

you expected 100% of the population to care about a country that doesn't care about their well-being? People will always work for their gain, but it doesn't help when the people we chose as leaders don't do the jobs expected of them.
The problem with Nigeria rests largely with the government, to deny it would also be hypocritical.

When people throw a pebble at you, always remember: you can always have another day. Thanks for your diagnosis. I wasn't suffering fron the cancer you mention. My concern is that only someone who had experienced an illness know the sympthons and how it feel. I think you should watch your back since someone may soon return your cancer for cancer. I love peace hence my desire to be lenient with you.

By their words we shall spot them!

by your words we shall proclaim you Doctor, Prince Jejelayegba Olanajim. 21-gun salute.

na bulimia, she's too thin. one second pukes, next minute vomit, 15th-minute feces, na wa o.

check out our politics, family, and culture sections for validation of the point I made earlier.
our ladies, love love love love love, dating and meet-up, sexuality, forum games, celebrity crush (especially the teenies), ki lo de.

Yeah it's so easy to go to America, and enjoy the achievement s of other people.

Yeah it's so easy to sabotage hundreds of years, of hard fought battles simply because some people are unwillingly to fight for what they should believe in. America isn't packed full of jobs, waiting for Migrants to exploit. 12.5% of Americans live below the Poverty line, and that figure is only going to increase, due to an overwhelming influx of people into the country.

America's standard of living is decreasing not increasing. And Over Migration doesn't help.

Yeah sure they need Migrants for Menial jobs, but I don't think America has 1n Billion Toilets.

Nigeria isn't half as old as America or Britain, and those countries aren't where they are today because of people migrating with Green Cards, when things aren't convenient.

I wonder where Britain would be today if Churchill had taken a Green Card to America, when the Germans invaded Britain.  Yah know Britain needed his Leadership, but he was on vacation in New Jersey, Singing about how much he loved Greener Pastures.

It is also easy to go to america because the leaders don't go out of their way to put people at a societal-disadvantage.  It is easy to go to America because it is a progressive society. Every country has its own share of corruption, but the level of corruption in Nigeria is provocative.  Tell me how many of our top officials have been arrested for money they kept in their refridgerators, international bank accounts, etc.  I'm not saying American politicians don't launder money, at the same time they don't do it in a way that infringes heavily on the people's abilities to make a living. The money laundered by our leaders are advances needed for the development of Nigeria, so tell me how will Nigeria develop (regardless of what the people do) if the government isn't there to help us through the process?  you brought up poverty line, compare the 12.5% to the 60-70% who probably live below poverty line in Nigeria.  Migrants do more than menial jobs in America mind you, but those migrants who do menial jobs are in many ways helping the American economy.  America enjoyed an influx of people because of the opportunities provided to these people, there's always a wave of migration because jobs are open for people, and they're given the opportunity to come in and make money.  Gold rush, rail road constructions, factory working, etc that those migrants countries aren't able to make available for them.  I didn't realize concern about betrayal is more important than survival.

We the gentlemen on Nairaland make nairaland go round. Check out 99% of the topics created here and you'll read how sensible we are.
The 'ladies' on the other hand, with the exception of a couple , the eebu in their arsenal pass GO but no collect 200.

No mind am.

He is trying to worm his way back into your heart.

emi le fi nta yin bayi. see what babeelove don cause.

no kidding, wow.

Which clarifies my point.

98% of Nigerians are only out for material things.

If I asked every Nigerian if they would let Nigeria be blown up for a Billion dollars. The majority of people would say yes.

My problem, is not with people leaving Nigeria. I mean I don't live in Nigeria. My problem is that Nigerians in Diaspora, are only interested in Lavish lifestyles.

What will they do, if Britain, America and other Developed countries become Moribund, due to Over Migration. Will they go in search of other Galaxies.

When the going gets tough, the pussies get going.

Lol, you're a very funny guy.
They're not "only interested in lavish lifestyles," they're simply taking advantage of, and embracing the luxuries provided to them. Would you opt for an ijapa when you know you could very well own a lamborghini? it's that simple. People love material things sure, but a lot of them didn't set out on the trip to another country because they have an undying "want" for material things.

So because of 0.2% of Nigerians, 98% of Nigerians, are sweating blood trying to leave.

What are we pussies.

For crying, out loud our country is our responsibility. No one else's.

That's why it's called Nigeria, not PDP, or ANC

If there are injustices in the system, then we must protest it. A country with a right system, cannot fail.

We're not 'Pussies', or at least I'll speak for myself, I'm not a pussy. What you fail to consider is the hefty effect of that '0.2'% on the large-but-little 98% over time. Our country is our responsibility, it still is, we're not hiding from our responsibility (okay maybe some of us are). Leaving the country to seek better-lives isn't equitable to punking-out on Nigeria.

Let me know if I missed one.

you're also incorrect. your statistic is based on a whim. who is to be held responsible for nigerians leaving the country? those who leave or those who cause them to leave?

doyin, babee chose your love over mine , so I guess I'll be waiting for the invitation to your wedding in about a year or less

you got jokes . this is your way of saying there are no gentlemen on nairaland.

Do we have a strong army?
