Amspecial:Are you all one in your part of the world ? Don’t lie that there are no deadly clashes between the clans, groups or sub-groups within even your own Tribe let alone your State. |
KingOfAmebo:Never give up on challenging these people wherever you come across them on Social Media. Some are sponsored by a naigbouring government and they get away with a great deal by exploiting the political and social grievances of genuine Nigerians. The worst aspect is that they influence the direction that language and sentiment takes. This is evident in the fact that, for the most part, much of this polemic is targeted at Nigeria and Nigerians than government or government policies. |
Akalia:Maybe it's since ISWAP's ethos is fight military and govern communities, levying taxes while Bokoharam’s strategy targets civilians in order to sow fear and garner international outrage thus making self relevant in Islamic jihadists world circles and hierarchy. |
Much smarter to develop a software industry than collaborating with Cameroon rebels that gives France the backdoor route into clandestinely wreaking your future in order to make French West Africa look good in comparison,. |
I should think it pays more to concentrate on long term development not short term gains kidnapping school children, blowing up oil facilities that damage where you live and attacking police stations wrapped head to food in cowry shells and feathers. |
AGNESikpuNNU:Jesus is LORD! Are you okay, you know you should be prosecuted for this insistence on sacrificing all logic, all morality on the altar of need to complain for the sake of complaining ? ![]() |
Nigerians don't question. Last year someone posted, perhaps this same OP, how some Africans were battling with Nigerians over market space and trading practices. Could this be about some of these Africans attacking Nigerians and Nigerians defending themselves? Foreign Nations tend to tag all Africans Nigerians, how sure are you people that this has anything to do with Nigerians in the first place? Why do many of you jump to conclusions without waiting for final official report on any incident abroad where hearsay finger Nigerians? Personally, I have little doubt that if some independent investigative body were to go back and look, actually LOOK, into every report posted on Niaraland about supposed Nigerian misdoings in Malaysia, Indonesia, Italy, Libya, US, Uk and so on, that 90 percent would be fictitious lies. |
Monogamy:Oh ho, not even Nigerians alone have been arrested, eh? How many Nigerians in the first place, let's be having more info and names please... For ones let the verifiable truth be known for Nigerians are always to be blamed for Africa when no one's looks to challenge narratives with facts. |
symbianDON:Nope, they'll call Nigeria shithole. They’ll say why god make them Nigerian and they’ll say they wish they were born elsewhere including in India. |
Disruptions to the space industry offer a rare opportunity to new entrants In the hours after Hurricane Katrina slammed into America in 2005, destroying large parts of New Orleans, the people co-ordinating the disaster response urgently needed satellite pictures to show them what they were facing. The first images to come in were not from the constellations launched by nasa or the space agencies of other rich countries. They were beamed to Earth by a small Nigerian spacecraft that had been launched from Russia just two years earlier. The small cube—Nigeria’s first satellite and only the second launched by a sub-Saharan African country—did not just watch a storm, it provoked one, too. British politicians and a taxpayers’ pressure group called for a halt in development aid, saying Nigeria did not need help if it could afford a space programme. Still, the sums being spent on space by African countries back then were tiny. South Africa’s sunsat, the region’s first satellite, was built by students at Stellenbosch University and hitched a free ride on a nasa rocket. Nigeria’s spacecraft cost just $13m. https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2021/06/19/africa-is-blasting-its-way-into-the-space-race |
I've noticed that the qualities of projects in Nigeria have not advanced with the times, to put it sensitively. Designs and finish are mediocre at best with most of these Builds seeming lopsided, uneven, cheap and crooked. It’s as if Nigerians in authority have given up on trying to build with best practice, incorporating the latest in advances and have settled for after independence colonial level of infrastructure typical of Africa. Environment influence some aspect of the human sub-conscious, conscious and physical being. Decrepit surroundings can lead to decrepit mindset and physical appearances. Therefore it’s not so much that living in relative wealth improves ones physical appearance but that aesthetically pleasing environment uplift the physical look of even the poorest in that society. This is why sometimes Europeans, Americans etc that are actually poorer than you in Africa can look fresher in comparisons. |
I keep saying this; Nigeria’s population swell is also due to uncontrolled immigration. People troop into Nigeria from everywhere not only Niger and Chad, they come from Central Africa, some of the island nations etc. I say this informed by my own experiences not guess or made up. Warri was full of people from Ghana and Cameroon when I was living in Nigeria. Many that I thought were Nigerian turned out not Nigerian much later. Sometimes when you get these people on here cussing Nigeria, eye-balls out, and you as a Nigerian think, 'what the Bleep? how can anyone cuss their own country like this?' and you think, ‘ No, we are fools in this country, no one does this except Nigerians” well, many instances those people do this because they are not Nigerian or only half Nigerian, they may have lived in Nigeria a long time and you assume they are Nigerians because they understand local politics and so on. Nigeria's problems are due to a large extent by our inability to organise and we are lazy. Working physically hard, hustling, studying and excelling, as Nigerians do, does not mean we are not lazy. We are too lazy to get to grips with all that nation building demands in terms of bureaucracy, record keeping, and all the niggling little things that are actually the nuts and bolts that secures National integrity. It is easy to build but hard boring work to maintain since maintaining demands relentless tight control, organisation and little interlinked stuff you must keep on top of forever. Faced, for instance, with pourouse borders we can’t be bothered to do anything about it because the problem requires much hard work to solve so we throw our hands in the air and pretend that after all we are all Africans or Oyibo created arbitrary lines all over Africa, or we are pan-africansist, etc. Same with all this agitation for brake up, much is informed at the deepest level by laziness. Much easy to cry for far off unobtainable, or even obtainable, stuff than do the immediate hard work in front of you. Look at all the advantages at Nigeria's governors’ disposal yet they provide crap - relative to potential - for their people. |

Bvlgari:People like these are Handicap or Disabled, to use a more modern term. Humans do not only suffer from externally visible disability as you may know. Those internally afflicted by mental disability such as psychopathy feel noting or have ultra addled sensitivity tolerances. These types of persons require extreme stimulus such as violence or anarchy in order to feel anything i.e. in order to feel alive. Killing, raping or any form of violent act does not trigger any form of guilt response and they are neither really afraid nor apprehensive of these acts being perpetrated on them. Kanu and Buhari may be psychopaths for research by contemporaries in the field indicate those with psychopathic tendencies tend to predominate leadership roles, see Sheku, Bin Laden, Trump, Sadam etc |
Keep eyes on immigration, thousands of poor West Africans pour into Nigeria daily adding to Nigeria’s poor, congesting places like Lagos and other cities in Nigeria. Nigeria is last port of call for many, nothing to loose, they add to the bottlenecked disgruntled waiting to erupt at some point in the future or whenever opportunity arises. Nigeria’s leadership need to put Nigeria and Nigerians first and forget or postpone their greater Africa motivations, don’t spent that money on Train line to Niger Republic, spend it linking Nigeria. |
SimplyShit:Lol, you’re hopeless. ![]() You’re being eloquently thought a lesson on assumptions, prejudices, relativity and the tragedy of social constructs and you do the equivalent of this [img] https:///ymJT.gif[/img] glibly stumping over the sensitivity of the intent. |
Planning, building, developing, maintain is something to do; blaming, shooting, destroying, raping is something to do but which lot is the easier? |

Some of you guys believe without questioning. Military isn’t gaoling anyone for simply rapping. There are several vids depicting Nigerian soldiers rapping, why weren’t they detained? However I’m sure if US Army happened upon an old vid, by a still serving US marine, eulogising Usama bin ladin and critiquing US presence in Afghanistan, that marine’s ass would be hurled off to some brig for in-depth questioning while lengthy background investigation is begun. |
9:15I've only now seen the quoted on BBC Africa. Mr Lai Mohamed is onto something here. NiJeria should employ international layers and sue Twitter. Get this out in the open so that no one can hide – agitators, opposition or government. After Rwanda the nature and potential for Social Media to facilitate genocide needs acceptance from a world in denial. Twitter may owe Nigeria billions! I love that nothing stays forever hidden since in the laws of nature nothing exists that remains unknown.In other words, the purpose of human awareness is to reflect existence /universe. |
Psoul:Ultimately it’s not for Twitter, US, Uk, EU etc to enforce Nigerian laws and Nigeria citizens pressuring them to do so maybe treasonable. Your right to pick up arms against the Nigerian state, under the relevant conditions, does not oblige America or the world to do same. |
NiJeria should leave ECOWAS. Forget plans for greater integration with the rest of Africa, don’t link NiJeria to Niger by rail, concentrate on NiJeria. |
Nonexisting:Did you school in Ghana or maybe you just favour the Shoot First and Ask Questions Later method of policing? |
