SeriouslySense:It is just the phenomenon of The Last of The Bush People. As developing societies evolve, the light of exposure creep into the darkest parts. For a time the relevant nation would seem more primitive and backwards than at any time but this is only since these outmoded people and beliefs are spotlighted. In another sense, the spotlight on these people is an indication that they are becoming rarer and consequently curiors of mass interest. |
cjudy:If he looked back sef he won't see anything, New Zealand is so far away it's lost to the world and the world is lost to it. |
Drfernandez:They know. The trick is to divert thread to tribal cursing in order to entrench the idea that Nigeria is reven by tribalism or and to saw and consolidate same in every heart. If so it doesn't matter if the culprit was called Ismail Kano Muhammed. Simply by saying he is Igbo archives same tribal stoking aim, accuracy is irrelevant. And actually, falsehood stokes tribal hating even more. ....if someone posted that they discovered that the Yorkshire Ripper was a Yoruba man and then the poster went on to say, Yorubas, organ hunters since 1812. You coming on to point out how inaccurate the poster is, would not erase the tribal stain left behind. |
In the literal sense, many able states should consider abandoning the junk yards that currently pass for capital cites and create new planned cities on virgin land. Might end up costing less than if they continue trying to fix things by shoveling bandage money into ditches, crumbling roads, higgledy-piggledy placed buildings and the hovels people now call homes and defend from being taken down by wailing and shouting to America and UN. |
Any Policeman Who Extorts Nigerians Is An Armed Robber – Force PROPeople bandy around the words "the Truth" when what they really means is that they like what is said or they like that something conforms to what benefits them. Well, the quoted above is what Truth resembles. |

Heroicvic:If you're that poor, you shouldn't own a mobile phone or pay to access internet. These things should be luxuries you can't afford. If you think i'm being harsh, it's because i know how bad poverty can be. Relative to my situation at some points in life, you would be wealthy in my eyes. And actually you would be the elite to me that needs killing, if i were of that type of green-eyed mindset. |
Soft power, good. Nigeria governors don't exploit soft power enough. Things like skating rings, horse racing venues, indoor climbing facilities, motorways dedicated to speeding etc have the power to enrich the lives of the masses, pacify them and attract revenue from both indigenes and tourists. I raise a toast to the imaginative and progressive minds behind developments in lagos. Cheers, long may you all continue to keep alive and fly the flag of the once imaginative and daring traits Nigerians were known and somewhat feared and resented for by the outside world. |
clinician2x:As a white monkey, what's your buisness if blacks choose to kill each other based on rumours of each other turning into goats, bats, rhino and private parts theft? |
Britain has a rigid class system and a common refrain among indigenous Britons was "Know your place". As a Nigerian growing up in the UK this was one of my most detested phrases. I couldn't stand it. This may be understandable given the racial issues and how the phrase "Know Your Place" inadvertently endorsed societies institutionalised racism. I was however sufficiently dethatched from notions of Racism, in the perspective of Caribbean community, by virtue of being a Nigerian, to see that the "Know your place" mantra predated the arrival of commonwealth immigrants to the UK in very fundamental ways. I however understood this late and may never have if not for being Nigerian instead of Caribbean with more stakes in the system. For instance, when an indigenous Brit regarded you, as a black individual, in horror and disapproval for proclaiming proudly that your ambition was to be a lawyer, doctor, engineer or prime minister they did so informed by history of monarchy and the evolution of their systems not merely due to your race and the indignant position they assume you should occupy by that virtue. Nevertheless, until i became interested in the development of Nigeria it was vexing to me that people could hold such values regardless of race, ethnicity or nationality. Now i understand. See, a significant percentage of Nigeria's poor are arguably of a level of ignorance so great that it is dangerous for them to wield the power that they do by virtue of their online advocates or exploiters. They have no business in determining or challenging how the so-called elites should run Nigeria. Nigeria's poor masses need to keep quiet when politicians decide to bulldoze markets, shanty towns, send soldiers or police into communities, mount road blocks or whatever. The British understood very early that knowing your place in society and keeping more less to it, enables the achievement of progress much quicker. |
Members of a quasi-security outfit in Bauchi have killed a suspect, Yohanna Abubakar, 35, through excessive beating during interrogation in a bid to force him to admit the allegations against him.The poor beating themselves breathless out of the same sort of ignorance and stupidity that make them fight and die for Ethnic Warlords hiding in foreign countries. |
Supremos:If he had, Online Nigerians would have beseeched US to drop a nuclear bomb on Nigeria in order to let the Poor Breath. And US would gladly oblige since they are not really interested in decimating black race but in helping spread democracy and the rule of law with the permission of the like of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Hope you can see the kernel of truth amid the shelly trash… |
UcheKingsley1:You can't vouch for the idiots that stumble into your path through life. They are legions unfortunately, arms outstretched, walking with stiff unbending legs like zombies and you have to dodge them to survive. Those of us that are progressives are the ones that build the world against their distructive force. Nature's dichotomy - zeros and ones, night and day, left and right..... |

If the world never saw Nigerians as fraudsters, Nigeria's anti Nigeria style of Opposition Politics sure as hell will make them. Shame on Opposition Politics, Nigeria style! Attack and critic the politicians, the party, government, leaders, thire style and achievements don't attack the people and their country. |
vastolord4:Because there's no such thing as universal truths; in any case, not in advance of science's nearest approximations found in Theories. Lay truths such as personified in daily life are relative or more usually subjective. |
