Crap. Truth is, Abroadness for the sake of Abroad is the primary
motivator of Nigerians hell bent on Abroad at the cost of death if that be the wager.

Nigeria needs to invest heavily in education and if possible prevent Nigerians schooling in other West Africa nations. The reasoning capacity of Nigerians - if they are Nigerians - abroad the world wide web is heartbreaking.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
False equivalency.
Has any family held on to power in Nigeria for 53 years?

Nairaland darling Paul Kagame has been in power long though...

Yoweri Museveni Uganda...

I won't mention old Paul

Those on Nairaland claiming that they are Nigerians are incredible . The nationals of all these Africa nations now collapsing around us used to mock Nigerians, predicting and praying for the collapse of Nigeria at the hands of Bokoharam. Now their nations are the ones that have become banana republics. Yet instead of Nigerians to feel proud and be thankful that their nation is mature, with vibrant society and democracy, Nigerians are disregarding thire achievements and looking at collapsing nations around them with envy.

Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi Is Dead. Nigerian Flag Designer

Rest in peace and thank you for sparing me saluting my nation Nigeria under some juvenile, colourful oonga-bunga flag evident in 90 percent of nations throughout Africa. Proud of my very unique Nation Nigeria.

Africans are happy with Coups. Nigeriains will welcome Coupe since rigging of election is Coup

I don't get the logic.

If you want Coup in Nigeria because you're happy with Coup and Rigging of Nigeria election is Coup why not be happy with the Nigeria Coup you supposedly have?

iwaeda:
What are the direct implications of coup in Africa to the of Africa?
It seems coup is now the new form of government in West Africa and this morning another Central Africa country, Gabon, joined the fray.

I can but will not relay what my views on the implications of coups in Africa are in the 21st Century. As for those that occured in Mali, Burkina fasso and Niger, I believe the implications for the citizens of those nations are grim. It is also more likely than not going to increase insecurity in West Africa if not catastrophy.

Like majority of Nigerians, I welcome the emancipation of francophone West Africans from the yoke of French control and exploitation. However, I wished this had been achieved diplomatically or by some other means better than the confrontational coups that occured. If the militaries of those Nations are true revolutionaries they will not grovel in private to the West while presenting a defiant, populist stance for the consumption of their citizens, Africa and International community. The consiquencies of not groveling will unleash on Mali, Burkina Fasso and Niger the well worn tools of impoverishment the West has used for decades to exclude Africa from the rest of the world. The result will lead to increasing suffering for the people of Mali, Burkina Fasso and Niger and unrest will grow. The deplorables that have been masquerading under Islam and terrorising the sahel will increase due to funding from abroad and no more pretences of curbing thire expansion. Displaced people and economic migration will increase, spilling into other West African Nations and Europe.

Again the Coupists not groveling in private to the West and, due to this, the consequent tightening of international institutions against Mali, Burkina and Niger as well as the funding of terrorists and insurrectionists of every persuasion, will inevitably push those nations into the arms of oppositional powers to the West. While this may cause superficial braggadocio, defiance and cheering, in reality those nations would have merely substituted one colour of colonial overlordship with another, achieving not the desired African emancipation.

There's more but writing fatigues me....

madridguy:
The best coup that can happen in Nigeria is we the citizen against the rulling class.

Gen. Sanni Abacha is dead but till today Nigeria is still going around to bring back his loot kept in different part of the world.

We Nigerians, our first mission must be against our states governors. These people are our biggest obstacles to our development. We Nigerians must wrestle the local governments full autonomy away from the states governors.

After wrestling it away, what next? Who will organise the cleanup of destroyed properties, what will you do with the elites you deposed, who will police - remember police will sustain losses when trying to maintain the system against your Rabble. They will be your enemy. If they stood aside during your riots/ "revolution" how would you reorganise the pay system, what's you plans for jobs, what's you plans for buisness, What will you do with those against the rabble, how will your Rabble organise fuel, food, casualties, refugees, how will you organise governing the state, who will be the leader, how would the rabble control leadership tassels, how would you handle military, what's you leadership experience, how would you handle opposition? What's you plans for dealing with international diplomacy, how would you handle the international financial system? how will you handle FATF based in France?

The above is just the small issues...



Mali, Burkina fasso, Niger are not sophisticated nations, Nigeria is a far more sophisticated and complex nation than those, whether you like it or not, or however you want to deny this to yourself.

In none emergency instances, thousands (assumption) of UK nationals travel to mainland Europe hospitals for treatment due to increasing NHS dissatisfaction. If you're a well travelled Nigerian on the continent, what West Africa nation would you advise Nigerians to visit for better health care experience and outcomes ?

Alliswell248:
When they call you children of hate, perdition, and frustration...it's like someone is unfair....why can't you rejoice for us for Nigeria.
You would still wail if none of the country's states is included, castigating the leadership.

Grow up....this is better than news of Nigerians caught with drugs in india.

9ja would be great

Maybe they cant rejoice for Nigeria because in reality they are neither Igbos nor Nigerians - but evidence is required either way. You don't know the true identity of majority online.

Nigerians now objectifying homesexuals and marginalising them is an example of self fulfilling prophesy.

You see, ones upon a time, Nigerians generally weren't troubled by feminin men, they were usually mildly amused by certain teens and young adults that wore makeup, lipsticks and wondered about in society rolling thire hips, flapping about like girls when arguing or fighting. Many communities had some of these people, were amused by them and often were very protective of them should they get into fights with other boys, teens or adult. In some ways, Nigeria society thought of them as products of soft upbringing. Even its darker aspect such as same gender sex was disregard in the realms of rumours and lurid story telling which suited Nigeriains just fine anyway since Nigeria is a nation of story tellers. Nigerians lived life for years without even realising where, how or what the word Bom_boy really denoted.


What changed was at its foundation informed by the commercialisation and politicization of homosexuality in the West. As part of the emancipation drive for legitimising homosexuality and protecting them by legislation, the persecution of homosexuality had to be exaggerated in spite of the very real horrors experienced by same sex practitioners throughout relatively modern times due mainly to religion.

Anyway, part of the hyping of the violence and persecution of homesexuals engaged in by activities in Rights Movement was the spinning of tales about how homesexuals suffered in Africa. Just as the womens rights movement "imagined" that if white women could be so downtrodden by white men in the white world, how much more black women in the black world , so too was it imagined that homosexuals must be going through hell in Africa if in the "civilised" west homesexuals could be so badly persecuted. The reality was different of course for both black women's power relationship to black men and men that engaged in same sex in Africa were never as persecuted as thire white counter parts in the West.

Our - Nigeria - reactions to homosexuality now is in reality us acting towards homesexuals in the ways the White world painted us as doing not as we did or would have done had the white world not depicted us as extreme heterosexuals, ready to jump at homesexuals and rip them to shreds in our Darkest Africa realms.

Additional info, the FSD12 drive featured in the video departed from the norm, I.e vehicle was not relying on codes, this time the vehicle was apparently nigotiating traffic informed by what Dojo (supper computer/AI) fed it after learning from interpreting video footage on how good drivers manage on the roads.

Personally, I don't see how else the Super Computer can receive and understand video info in anything other than code form.

As dissatisfied and critical of America as I am, I hope Nigeria aligns with America's sphere of influence or remain none aligned. We should also Keep China as a friend. We should not join BRICS.

That driver must be a mad man to curse people who didn't do him any harm.

And his black man brain solution to expensive Garri is to essentially burn down the country. When everywhere is destroyed, food stuff will suddenly be plentiful and cheap.

Short Explanation

This version of FSD( Full Self Driving), therefore FSD 12, has not been rolled out to public testers. Only Mr Musk used this version over the weekend):

The comment below by a respondent on YouTube gets to the point.

" Some of you don’t seem to appreciate this is AI. There aren’t thousands of commands encoded into a stack programmed by humans… no “if x then y”. Rather, this is pure neural net trained on tons of data learning to drive by imitation. It’s a big deal.

The Car is driving itself and making decision on its own informed by what it sees with the cameras just like humans do with thire eyes and brains, working out things as they drive along. In this instance, the cars brain is neural network being devised by Elon Musk's Dojo supercomputers. Tesla cars are equipped with cameras and sensors that collect data about the surroundings. This data is used to feed into the neural network of their Autopilot system, helping the car understand and navigate its environment.


Long Explanation:


Elon Musk showcased the capabilities of FSD Beta V12 in a live 45-minute test drive on X. The software demonstrated smooth driving and obstacle navigation. A recent promise made by Musk was fulfilled, as he presented an unedited ride where the software only required driver intervention once. Additional videos will be uploaded to refine the software's skills. Despite its excellence, FSD Beta V12 is still in the finalization stage with no official release.
During the ride, the car handled obstacles with ease, including those it hadn't encountered before. Musk highlighted that the V12 software relied solely on artificial intelligence for its implementation. The journey began at Tesla's headquarters, demonstrating skills like driving on a construction road and slowing down for speed bumps without explicit programming.

Musk emphasized that the software makes autonomous decisions based on training data, not predefined code. The car even navigated a roundabout smoothly without specific programming for it. Importantly, FSD Beta V12 doesn't require an internet connection for decision-making, as all processing occurs locally.
Musk discussed the high frame rate of Tesla cars, noting that FSD Beta V12's AI-only version outperforms the mixed software-AI version. Despite camera limitations, the AI could potentially run at 50 frames per second, while roads are typically designed around 24 frames a second.

ECOWAS is evidently pointless. Lets scrap it and save our money.

Hopefully if ECOWAS does not intervein to restore Niger's democracy (however questionable that democracy was) and given the coups in Mali and Burkina Faso, West Africa states should dissolve ECOWAS due to its evident ineptness. Let every nation manage its affairs as it sees fit. African Regional or and Continental blocks, executively &symbolically , are obviously untenable. Nigeria could do with the funds.

France Defiant, Insists Niger Military Junta Cannot Expel Its Ambassador by FreeStuffsNG: 11:51am

I've grown to dislike African people, I only care for Nigerians. I wish Nigeria could be cut out of Africa and cast in the ocean like Sao Tomé and Príncipe. Why cant France flex muscle on its own time and cost instead of on Nigeria's time and costs. Let them intervein directly in Niger Republic and handle the consequences. I can understand why Tinubu wanted to intervene in Niger - ECOWAS, its commitment to uphold democracy in the region; Nigeria's responsibilities as the regional power; whatever Buhari whispered in his ears and all that, but the moment this commitment to West Africa was sabotaged by the changing narrative vis-à-vis francophone nations fight to free themselves from the yoke of French imperialism, Nigeria should have tactically stood back (even if at heart we suspect that narrative is all bullshit and the coupists are just self-serving opportunities) . It is not too late. Let France and her colonies duke it out. Besides none of them favour us.

descarado:
Thank you. All we know is food food food.
We even rate you by the kind of food you prepare. Go to food section. Prepare the so called common man food, people will insult you tire.
Another important thing I have been saying is we don't know how to convert what we have to what we wil use in the future.
Eg, we have mango, people cook with mango. There is mango jam.
All over the world, banana stem is an edible except in Nigeria. What about bamboo shoot from bambo tree?
Why can't we grow mushroom and use as substitute to animal protein.

I posted on food section how palm oil was made and used to do so many delicacies you will be wondering is it our palm oil.
We waste food as we waste other things a lot.
We have cassava,nobody have thought of making cassava noodle. Noodle aside rice is the most consumed food in this world. Families can make cassava noodles. How about coconut. Avocado.
You can never see Avocado oil from Nigeria yet these fruits waste everyday in some parts of Nigeria.
We deserve all that comes our way. Here, the rich plant somethings in their backyard but its an abomination to see a middle-class naija plant something in his empty farm cos farming is for the poor.
Oranges waste in naija. Orange marmalade is popular. Wetin do our hands.

This is what you get with very low iq people.
Even common rice has ricecake, rice noodles and rice wine. And more people are experimenting and combining to see what more they can get out of rice . Nigerians are very lazy.
sausage is a multi billion dollar business. We only cook and eat meat. Do suya and that's all.
Mtcheeew

Breadfruit trees all over the place, Nigerians I queried didn't know thire fruits are edible.

Nigeria's lead off girl dose not resemble a Nigerian.

Team dropped the baton. Offili's face throughout has been like she was forced to be at the championships. I had such high hopes for her.

I don't believe if Nigeria had taken primary school kids they would have performed any worst. Only Ese Brume, Tobi Amusan and one wowo boy so try for Nigeria.

Maybe Nigerians eat too much. If our population was up to that of China, I'm sure we'd eat humanity our of the planet. Whenever you see photos or videos of Nigeria streets, chances are majority of background people are plump. Look at the guy in the photo. Yet, Nigerians continually cry that they only eat ones a day, which leaves me thinking that if they cut the food in half maybe the will eat twice a day.

and don't tell me poverty food is unhealthy, leading to weight gains. That theory works for Americans with thire Mc Nuggets type foods.

So because India landed rocket on the far side of the moon with the help of Elon Musk (privately) they think they've arrived and now have Carte blanche to attack black people on behalf of whites as usual.

Funny Nigerians celebrating India that didn't let thire poor breath. When Nigeria sent her first satellites to space by collaborating with British universities publicly, just as India no doubt achieved this feat by having Americans, Brits and Russians collaborating with them but in secrete, Nigerians were shouting, " Nonsense, na satalite we go chop?". Nigerians were up in arm ably abetted by the likes of Bill gates, saying that money was being spent on vanity project, that Nigeria must first feed the poor. We must let the poor bweeed! Pressure was put on government to cut spending on Nigeria's space program.

Well, India's poor that didn't breath then are now inhaling and exhaling with pride today! Tomorrow they will return to suffocating but due to India daring and investing in areas that they have stopped listening to the West telling them not to invest in, India's poor will breath plenty in future. Who knows they may one day breath Martian air when they land on Mars.
