As someone born abroad and whose formative years were in Nigeria, I would advice Nigerians to let their children grow up in Nigeria. Characters formed in Nigeria are unbeatable. Beyond the ages of 12 it is safe to send them abroad to school if you wish. If I could influence the black world, I would have them send their children to their nations of “genetic” origin during the formative years. I would have African Americans send their children to grow up in Nigeria or other African nations or the Caribbean, between the ages of I to 13 year old. After this, return them to America, Europe or wherever in the world you choose. It is absolutely vital that you let your black child form their character in Africa before moving them abroad if you wish. In Africa, Nigeria is the best place.

Funny, but the use Swine is almost always, in my experience, a Ghanaian usage. Another word they often use, is Devilish. Nigerians are Devilish or Swines, I often here them say or write…

When some of you idiots were shouting corruption, elite, greedy politicians at each other and going online to cuss and complain about Nigeria, thinking that the world is with you, the world simply laughed in secret at your naivety. They knew that their own societies and nations were at least as rotten as anything you can dream up to throw at Nigeria. But they keep quite and watched. They listened. And once in a while even respond in the way you want by saying they felt sorry for you and that you are suffering in Nigeria. Yet all the time some of them where plotting how to entice your so called corrupt politicians and elites with their so-called stolen gains, to come over to their country to come invest all that money with them.

Many of you are lying to yourselves, condemning Nigeria and some of you are trying to absolve yourselves of blame for why some of these wealthy Nigerians want to flee Nigeria. Many of these rich Nigerians are not fleeing poverty or dysfunctionnality in Nigeria; no, they are leaving Nigeria firstly because certain Nations are poaching them. These nations like Bermuda and others are pouching wealthy individuals from any nation by providing enabling climate for the wealthy. Secondly, some, wealthy Nigerians are fleeing because of the rise of envy in Nigeria. I was one of the first to bring up this issue on Nairaland. I was responding to a Nairalanda who started a post highlighting the many mansions in Abuja, which drew in many respondents that started castigating the wealthy. This poster was one of the pioneers of the “Elites are exploiting the poor” sentiment that became fashionable on Nairaland. And, of course, Nairaland is popular and influential in Nigeria.

Nigerians are not known for envying the wealthy but are known for admiring the wealthy. For this latter reason, Nigerians are sometimes accused of worshipping the wealthy. If envying the wealthy and worshiping the wealthy are societal ills, then in terms of society and nation building, envying the wealthy is the greater and more destructive force. I’ve repeatedly warned and argued that when the West wants to destroy and African Nation, they first use the power of the media to make the African people disrespect their leaders, they also make the people disrespect their culture and they put in the peoples head an antagonism against the wealthy.

All that I’ve written is in a simplified form in order to keep the writing short. So, in short, the wealthy are actually taking up nationality in Nations that want them. Whoever stated that these Wealthy Nigerians are buying citizenship elsewhere is being mischievous, to put it politely. `This is because, in a manner of speaking, these wealthy people, not only from Nigeria, could be said to be buying citizenship in the way a man who spends money on his girlfriend could be said to be buying her affection. In reality, these wealthy Nigerians and others are being enticed by nations like Bermuda, Barbuda, Isle of White or whatever, with secure offshore banking, favourable taxation, duty free casinos, gambling, women, and security etcetera. And some wealthy Nigerians, that might have otherwise stayed in Nigeria and invested their wealth in Nigeria, are being pushed away not by government but by you people, you on Social Media, preaching ethnic hate and encouraging Nigerians to rise up and destroy everything. You create a narrative of future disruption and destruction the wealthy will flee this future and leave you to destroy yourselves. `I guess if the West can no longer steal your money through the Swiss Bank architecture because that archecture has been compromised by WOKEism, they can steal your money indirectly by stealing your wealthy.

gypsey:
what ever?! You have nothing else reasonable to say, that's what it is. You can insult me all you like it doesn't bother me. You are a self hating African who hates other Africans coming to Nigeria to apply for a job whereas alot of Nigerians live and work in other countries. You probarbly have no problem with the, Indians, chinese and lebanese working in Nigeria but hates other Africans working or applying to work in Nigeria. Cover your face in shame.

You're partly wrong. I have no issues with the Chinese coming to Nigeria (except issues that need addressing when they get to Nigeria) but I do have issues with Indians, Whites and Africans that are not Nigerians coming to Nigeria to work. African Americans and Caribbean are welcomed by me also but not people from the rest of Africa. I right now loathe, Loathe those for whom we use the term Continental Africans. I'm not African, I'm Isoko Nigerian.

King2019:
The name Nigeria is a curse that should not have been

Keep repeating that, eventually you will believe it not the rest of us. Those old ways of subjugating Africa will not work with Nigerians, it's too late, we Nigerians are the ones that got away

Prominent citizens shouldn't be making incendiary ethnic statments publicly, not that they should continence such thoughts in the first place let alone make them privately even, such thinking and statments should be the dormain of uninformed masses.

It is worrying also that anyone in government harbours tribalistic notions. Of course we know that they do but the confident betrayal of the fact says a lot about the contempt they hold, or in this case held, for the notion of Nationhood under which we labor.

I wonder how Kenyans would react on Social Media had it been that a Kenyan was being detained by Nigerian customs for possession of an inordinate amount of currency?

Let me help, Kenyans would be abusing Nigeria and those that claim they are Nigerians would be abusing Nigeria also. Both Kenyans and those claiming they are Nigerians would be arguing that either Nigerians were involved in some deal gone wrong or that the Kenyan refused to pay bribe, or Nigerians were somehow trying to steal the Kenyan's cash.

onyechez:
Nigeria is a weak country, Nigerian government suppose to request for extradition of such persons, if na China, UK, Dubai or US or any sane clime, Sharp sharp they for return but Nigeria na stupid country nobody dey respect the country.

What do you imagine so called Nigerians will say if they read that Nigeria government was requesting extradition of this individual held by Kenya for suspected money laundering ?

Don't you think that all of Social Media would be ablaze with accusations that the Nigerian governmen was involved somehow in the laundering ?

Anyway, I'm not arguing that this explains why Nigeria government hasn't intervened, if indeed they haven't or are not going to intervene, because you're right, Nigeria government needs to intervene. However, you can imagine what will be said if and when they do.

Too many undocumented people in Nigeria, many of them damaged individuals, trooping in through open borders; people flooding into Northern Nigeria from Islamic African nations like Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Mali then making their way down South; people coming in from Cameroon; people coming in from CAR, people from Ivory Coast to Lagos etc. Nigeria needs to take border controls and policing seriously if Nigeria is going to operate without adopting the strict outlook on immigration and security other nations take.

The character of Nigeria cannot take the darker note it has without some significant occurrence having happened somewhere along the line..

The following is going to offend some and I apologise in advance: but, it is times like this, reading through comments, that one may be forgiving for viewing Eugenicists, Hitler and Stalin, somewhat sympathetically. For societies to function and benefit the majority, Nations possibly need to eradicate certain citizens deemed chronically dysfunctional to developmental aims. Such citizens may be deemed as valueless at every conceivable point along a graphical timeline of a nation’s potential existence. For Nigeria, you pick up every thug, area boy, lynching mobs, stupid and ugly looking fellows, execute and burry them in earmarked landfill sites. The world will condemn Nigeria, leaders dragged to the Haig, but the nation left behind will be, for the most part, filled with good looking, progressive individuals.

I’m beginning to see now that the fate of any nation rests not on her most gifted and brightest citizens but on the intelligence level of the lowest in that society since the pyramid shape describes the intelligence skew of all nations, the relative number of the brightest, in ratio to the dumbest, represented by the pyramid's paltry pointy tip. In short, the dumbest are majority in every nation and since majority exert proportional influence in spite of disproportional influence of the brightest few, nations are invariably the outcome of the dumbest. Therefor, the most developed nations are those whose dumbest citizens are on average smarter than the dumbest people in less developed nations.

Bialegend:
A useless country called zoo. Who cares about useless and nonsense statistics coming out from that shithole of a place.

For one, you obviously do. Understandably, Nigeria scares the shit out of those that want black people to remain exploitable. In addition, scares the shit out Africans of a jealous and stupid mindset.

Nigeria needs records. If we kept records we’d now be comparing rates at which incidents like these took place before advent of the internet and after internet. Records would inform state government or central government on trends so that preventative measures or facilitating measures can be taken. Nevertheless, reading this, it’s not hard to work out that internet played a role in crystallizing emotional ideas of ethnic identity, machismo and differences formerly dormant in the back of youngish peoples’ minds in the area.

I suspect that, next, thuggish minded individuals and NFA type youths, in this area, on all sides, will soon start organizing ethnic based mass fights on their mobile phones like European football hooligans once did. Except any such ethnic based fights would be deadlier and have far reaching consequences for state and nation and authorities in Nigeria need to adopt forward thinking in order to prevent situations arising instead of reacting to situations arisen.

Brave Little Tailor



The fate of the giants, is the story of Africa and the black man’s subjugation. The internet only exacerbates this.

All concerned and Nigerian stakeholders for the betterment of environment and compensating relevant afflicted communities need to go after Shell and never let them or their online agents distract you from holding them accountable. Don’t let them slip away from their responsibility by playing on your love for pointing accusing fingers at one another. Forget “militants” (even if they do break pipelines), forget these mysterious “Nigerian employees” go after Shell!

Use your heads.

According to Shell, 95% of the leaks are a result of sabotage. The oil company denies any responsibility for these. The perpetrators of these leaks are said to be local criminals and organized gangs. Now, Shell employees themselves are accused of being a part of a perverse industry of deliberate leakage. Zembla verified all of this and interviewed the sources on camera.

Shell owes Delta communities Billions of dollars compensation, not Millions, for decades of environmental damage ...

Shell does not want to compensate Nigerian Delta Communities for damaging their environment. Hope those of you that are Nigerian read the comments so far and begin to see why you need to question the actual Nationalities of many that set you at each others throats, exploiting ethnicity, religion and now your leadership in every facet of your society.

For those of us that didn’t watch; please, what are the names of these employees of the Anglo-Dutch oil company Shell that ordered the deliberate vandalism of oil pipelines for personal gain?

Biodun556:
We blame militants when professionals are the real culprit

Eh, yes, and we sometimes blame these foreign companies like Shell, expecting them to compensate communities blighted by their oil drilling activities to the sum of millions when it should be billions, not knowing that, all this times , they owe the communities nothing , since Nigerians are to blame.

This reminds me of how Africans blamed Apartheid South Africa for the deaths of Soweto school children, when all this time, it wasn’t apartheid south Africa police’s fault; no, the white police officers simply would fire their guns in warning but the black children would go throw themselves in the way of the bullets.

Gush, Africans always blaming others for their problems.

Priceless reaction...

Watch from start, no skipping, and you'll understand

tundess:
If you go to moorinformation and see the comments frm AAs on how newly "immigrant" Africans allegedly look down on them (AAs) and the general agreement that Africa is a s######e undeserving of their recognition in their struggle and that pan-africanism is a myth, you'd be shocked.

This is all trending frm the FBA (foundational black american) designation started by Tariqlite to distinguish frm African-American bc of the superior attitude taken by immigrants towards their kin folk.

It's a sad reflection as much on AA society in the US that these kinds of attacks on Africa are occurring as much as black Africa has failed.
Angela Nwandu publishes about celebrity beef. She was born and bred in LA. The entire youth culture (her target audience) revolves around frivolities abt who is dating who and materialism. Her writing about Nigeria will not sell. Ms. Banks has an axe to grind. And that grind chimes with increasing numbers of AA ppls experiences with newly immigrant african peoples. The disillusionment is two way.

It seems, from what you say, that they’re not mindful enough of just how interested outside groups are in black issues and how likely such group are to contribute in ways that exploit these grievances.

Although even when you, as a black person, are aware and take these racists interlopers into consideration, some insults can hit so hard, you just want to retaliate against your perceived black foe and couldn’t give a Bleep if it’s a white dude or dudess pulling the strings.

gypsey:
what difference does it make? You are still a self hating hyporcrite!

My opinion is that you're most likely not Nigerian. If you are a Nigerian then definitely an inexperienced one; therefore I’ll not insult you or engage you further.

Arrewa:
young man you have to be specific....stop dragging the whole south into the problem you are having with the north.

We have no issue with the south south and the west.

The only people we see as potential enemies are the Easterners.

We know the people who hate and always celebrate our pains and downfall.

We know the people who use every little opportunity to stereotyply insult and blackmail the north.

We know the people who are instigating hatred against the north.

Stop dragging the whole south into that!!

The only place mosques where burnt during the end sars protest is in the East.

The only place where trailers were attacked and the custodians killed was in the east.

The only place where the end sars protest turn to a tribal war was in the east.

So stop making it South vs the north...

The East should take full responsible for their actions and stop dragging the whole south along.

You sound like a terrible individual and every well meaning Nigerian need to let individuals like you know that you're stating the wrong things. Sorry, but i didn’t feel it was right to read what you wrote and, because it was unpalatable as well as intimate between you and the so-called igbos, to simply leave. However feeble, it is important that all progressive and moral individuals take a stand against individuals like you and those that oppose you with similar intent.

gypsey:
What a hyporcrite you are. typical self hating African or is it Nigerian?

I'm not an African. I am Isoko Nigerian.

Makes no sense except as fake or doctored list (or as Nigerians would say, OP probably added pepper to salt somewhere along the line).
