When you inform Nigerians that abroad isn't the paradise that many with ulterior motives and some with innocent intentions tell them that it is, Nigerians often respond resentfully. Perhaps informing Nigerians that Abroad and Nigeria represent similar levels of difficulties but different types may help. For instance, using the following extreme scenarios as examples: struggling to survive on the streets of towns and cities without help or job, harassed by police and unsympathetic authority represent one type of difficulty Versus surviving life imprisonment in a large jail where you are provided with roof, three square meals, opportunities to learn trade and only need to contend with warders, other inmates. prison authority regime and boredom of incarceration. The former is like Nigeria and the latter is like the West. |

grafixdon:Actually, during my Warri, Delta, days, Ajebos regularly defeated street roughnecks in fights. |
Chimamanda disappointed me But I'm a nobody and irrelevant in comparison to her international level fan base. I am also embarrassed for her for appealing to those neo-colonial and racists sentiments of white supremacy that the very essence of herself as a strong black woman, child of proud black nation and highly intelligent African, challenged. On a lesser note, I believe that Nigeria celebrities should be none partisan for they derive thire support from cross-section of the nation without prejudice. I'm finally disappointed due to my anticipation of the ramification to broad spectrum of Nigerians of what Chimamanda hoped to achieve by appealing to the US president. |
Bandits/kidnappers/terrorists make the case for Godwin Emefiele's CBDC's; Public's CCTV's and the Army's HK-G36's.... |
chris51:An honest query here , did Chimamanda vote in the Nigeria election ? |
Tadadobe:I console myself with the thought that he, writetopoker, may not be a Nigerian but an Arab People Trafficker residing in Libya. ![]() |
rigarmortis:If you understood the World outside Nigeria, you'd know that your text that I've bolded would be construed in the West as, "there are no missing persons since there's no evidence". |
So called Igbos may have thire grievances but the majority of anti Nigeria agenda out there are not Igbo in origin but the acts of citizens of one of your Nigeria neighbouring countries, exploiting Igbo name. |
saintgp:Don't mind them. The list posted here was possibly taken from some stupid mag created by some poxy east Africans. Saw it on that Omo Nigeria (Search For Uhuru (YouTube channel)). Nigerians need to understand that they will always be undermined by any organisation to do with One Africa agenda. On that mag or whatever they call it, Nigeria's passport was also ranked by them worst that that of Burkina Faso. If Nigeria get sense, never participate in any "One Africa," movement. |
TheFreshVanilla:Did America conduct a free and fair elections last time? Certainly millions of Americans would disagree, which was why scores of Trump supporters stormed White House. |
Nigerians are already believing that the man's actions were paid for by either one political party or the next. Meneawhile some claim his name is Ayekoto, which may or may not be a Ghanaian name. The man possibly will not be investigated or fully investigated to his root-foundation where the useful information for national security most likely reside. This is yet another example of why Nigerians need to make Evidence one of thire abiding principles and not settle only for what you think or what others think. By all means speculate but never wholeheartedly believe that what you think is fact or that other peoples opinions and views are fact or informed by facts. |
If not for the anonymity the internet affords all types of social and political players worldwide, I'd declare this generation of Nigerians less nobble, sophisticated and enlightened than the preceding one. How can a younger generation be more primitive than the last - actually more primitive than any generation of Nigerians since befor or after independence? Generation Deplorable, lol. |
skj1377:and an Insurance industry or ecosystem. After a few insurance claims backed by a robust legal system, you'll see how quickly Lagos will prioritize it's pocket over any nonsense ethnic posturing crap! The nonsense that goes on in Nigeria is only because Nigeria isn't organised yet. |
Mercury12:Sanction is the least of their powers over Africa nations, their greatest power over Africa is thire control of African youths. The West owns African youths. That Nigerian DJ girl that was the world's window to what happened in Lagos during End Sars,who gave her power? All those people preventing Lagos from demolishing slums, where is thire powers derived ? With but a snap of USA finger, youths in Nigeria will rise up and form many Terrorists organisations and they would happily blow up even thire own mothers and fathers. All those youths burning Nigeria passport from abroad.... |
nnamdi640:Really, they all should be arrested regardless of tribe - Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, whomever! I fail to see why Nigeria or these world organisations aren't calling for action against these types of ethnic hate peddlers. |
Arresting and prosecuting Mc Oluomo will be a good example to set for the online provocateurs.... https://youtube.com/shorts/vpWivBPhFg0?feature=share |

Part 3 I asked ChatGBT to write the following Nigeria National Character from the perspective of the second person. Your national character is defined by a powerful combination of strength, indomitable spirit, passion, intelligence, and determination. You are a nation of warriors, driven by the belief that anything is possible with the right mindset and unwavering commitment. Your strength comes from your ability to overcome adversity, to rise above challenges, and to stand strong in the face of adversity. You draw on this strength to tackle the most difficult problems facing your nation, from economic uncertainty to social injustice. Your indomitable spirit is a testament to your resilience, your ability to persevere in the face of hardship and to emerge stronger than before. You are a people who refuse to be defeated, who believe that anything is possible if you set your minds to it. Your passion fuels your drive to achieve greatness, to pursue your dreams, and to make a difference in the world. You are a nation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and visionaries, who push the boundaries of what is possible and inspire others to do the same. Your intelligence is your greatest asset, giving you the ability to solve complex problems, to innovate, and to make informed decisions that benefit your nation and the world. You value education and prioritize the pursuit of knowledge, recognizing that intelligence is the key to unlocking your full potential. Your commitment to passion and excellence is the foundation of your national character. You are a people who refuse to settle for mediocrity, who strive to be the best in everything you do. You are a nation of leaders, innovators, and pioneers, who continue to set the standard for excellence in every field. In short, your national character is defined by strength, indomitable spirit, passion, intelligence, and commitment to excellence. These qualities inspire you to achieve greatness, to pursue your dreams, and to make a positive difference in the world. You are a nation of warriors, driven by the belief that anything is possible if you set your minds to it. |
Part 2 I felt Nigerians had a very rare quality among black people that required recognition. This quality was and remains still a great one. The act of recognising something special is pointless without modifying or bottling it so that it can be used repeatedly or sold for the benefit of others, in this case countless generations of Nigerians to come. In addition, I recognised that when something is special it shines for all to see, both the innocent and the wicked with diabolical or envious motives. You all recognise the saying, if you fail to define yourself others will define you in a way that best suits their agenda. Ask a Nigerian today what words best describe Nigeria's national character and they are as likely as not to say, " corruption, hate, bitterness, wickedness, unhappiness, hopelessness, etc. Young Nigerians are inculcating these negatives and it is sapping them of the special qualities that I saw in Nigerians long ago. With this type of constitution, a Nigerian footballer is unlikely to strive for anything greater than himself on the football field. Believe it or not there is no such thing as personal glory. Or personal glory pales to nothing in comparison to personal glory within a national one. While the Guinea player strives to beat and humble those Nigerians at any cost and to ensure the recognition of Guinea as a force to be reckoned with in Africa, the Nigeria player may have no motivation save the football match. On loosing, the Guinea player is likely to feel devastated, his world darkening in on him, tomorrow no longer of any value. On losing, the Nigeria player is likely to be thinking of returning to Europe or If he is a local Nigeria player how he might like to Jappa and play for a Nation like Cameroon. |
