Who told you that: ''You are the hard worker is the same person who told you about the Giant of Africa, He fooled you, the world is laughing at you with that mentality The sooner you accept your situations the better, No one need you With your silly mentality You are good in Nigera Not outside Nigeria We don't need you at all

Are black South Africans generally dumb to add to their xenophobic nature or it's just the ones we have here?? why do these people find it herculean a task to go through a write Up and make contributions or have a wonderful discourse without making everything sound like a joke?? why do they try to ridicule and scorn others at the expense of their own stupidity??

Heck! Unless those behind these handles are little kids, then am really tired of you lot's, little wonder you have remained slaves even in your own land.

leathalbeast:
says who? there are nigerien beggars here too, they send their kids to harrass you till you give them money. we also have other nationalities here but one love and unity of Africa is why you can't sack them. by the way do you know the number of Nigerians in ecowas countries? what if they also decide to deport all Nigerians there?

You really don't get the drill, OK let me make it clearer. Atleast 80-90% of Nigerians you find there are either there to school, run businesses or work, which has a great impact in your economy, but majority of these Nigeriens and Chadians we are talking about are mostly beggars, about 90% of them or so, adding to our already over populated country with scarce resources for the welfare of her citizens much more foreigners, now answer me objectively, if you were in our shoes, what would you do?

Nowenuse:
Ok i see. This is kinda true.
I wonder how Nigerians came to evolve this kind of character of extreme hardwork and desperation for success.
It seems like it started with the Igbos and is now spreading almost all over Nigeria. This 'i must succeed mentality'.

An average Nigerian and mostly we the Igbos see it as a curse to be poor, reason we work hard, migrate to other places to make it, out of desperation, some get involve in evil practices that we all know just to get rich.

The quest to get rich in Nigeria is real, the society we find ourselves have made it even worst, our girls here would hardly date you if you don't bring anything to the table or without any vision to do so in the near future, reason why we Nigerians are known for hardwork, if not for anything, at least to impress people. Major Reason why we go to other countries and overthrown them or control their economy, because we see opportunities where they see none, and even if they are none, we create one!

Jayceon:
South Africans do travel but don't expect to see us roaming the streets of filthy Makoko,we just don't travel to your zoo

You guys have started again, I just hope you don't call us racists when we decide to fire back cos it won't be funny, be fore warned... Homo-erectus imbeciles parading themselves as humans.

fanficgirl:
Does any African here know anything about the affairs of the Republic of Congo.

That country has been ravaged by war and poverty, they are usually the lowest in almost every human index I have come across, and I heard the country is rich in resources, bad government and management is really the problem with most African countries.

There are still Nigerians there though, where on earth won't you find Nigerians? lol, Their capital city Kinshasa is trying shaa.

leathalbeast:
at times you are patriotic but by far you the Nigerian with the least level of partially here you never forget to draw them back in line. kudos to you.

But can you say same of yourself? you and and your countrymen here try making us believe Ghana is more developed than even the western world without no flaws, you claim like everything is going on perfectly well with you guys, but the internet and even your forums have disproven all these, you now see the difference between we and you guys?

We all accept our country is not moving as it should, but why we engage in most of these arguments is to show that at least we are making progress, and not as the media has posed us to be, worse off is when countries we all know we are better than start making proves and speaking trash about us.

We have got many beautiful cities, infrastructures, health care system, Schools etc also, so people should stop looking at our bad sides (tho inflated) which we all accept to, but start looking at the good sides too.

Nowenuse:
There are millions of people from Niger republic all over Nigeria.

Most of these Nigeriens come to beg in Nigeria, many of them have nowhere to stay and live on the streets, now, why won't Nigeria have a lower HDI?

Seriously, what are we Nigerians going to do about these people from Niger republic? Niger repiblic is a failed nation and the poorest on earth and they have turned Nigeria to their refuge.

Many Southern Nigerians are not aware of this menace because most Southern Nigerians cannot differentiate Nigerièns from Core-northern Nigerians due to similarity in culture and the fact that most Nigerièns speak Hausa.

Almost 50% or more of the abokiis you see in your streets changing dollars, doing maigard, pushing wheelbarrow, picking metal craps, shoe shinning and begging in the South are not Nigerians, they are from Niger republic. Also, of recently, Malians have started coming in too.

As long as these people keep on trooping into Nigeria, no matter how we make progress, our Human development index will always be low. Core-northern Nigeria is already dragging Nigeria backwards on their own, we are trying to manage them and more people from Niger republic are still trooping in.

Maduawuchukwu, shaytun, uzzyfire, iblawi, shervydman, fanficgirl, arinzeejikonye

Bro this thing is a very big problem I must confess, I think they should strengthen the security there in the borders, it is not in clandestine that these people are the ones bringing us back and make our achievements look like we ain't doing anything, The Northern elites are also part of the cause, they allow them in their numbers during elections to get majority votes.

Niger republic is really a failed state, they contribute little or nothing to our economy, you see them in all the nooks and crannies of every city begging, each time I go to the market, I'm always careful not to pass them, because they would drag you by your cloth and if you ain't careful, you would empty your wallet on them out of pity, the ones that manage to work do menial jobs to make ends meet, these people have really made me value my Nigerian citizenship as I watch how they suffer, living their lives in the streets... Africans are really suffering.

Something needs to be done Asap to stop this menace cos it's getting out of hand, some ignorant Nigerians think they are all Northeners, which is not true.

TayserMahiri:
Dude, I have seen enough pictures from nigeria to come to a conclusion. You have big things but almost nothing ever gets completed there. Big roads but their finishing ALmost like a war zone. There is no doubt you could be progressing but its at a very sorry pace. From the pictures, it actually looks like regressing. Its probably time you shed off your glasses and see the reality that a few nigerians are trying to make you see but you never will. Man, some people see ahead of others and you might realize this when its too late. The majority of nigerians seem to be a very very delusional lot.

SMH, you have seen enough pictures about Nigeria, so according to your assertions, you are implying that everything we have in incomplete, and then in Kenya, everything is just perfect and you guys are now a first world country...hilarious! don't make me laugh bro, Kenya has some very worst problems which I don't want start saying here a country where 80% area is landlocked and people are dying of starvation without no political instability, ...my advice? stop the hate and learn to appreciate, those pictures where dope and deep down within you know it, you just trying to capitalize on that ObiKenobi guy's comment to feel happy since he has created the right images for you. As I said earlier, you can choose to believe whatever you wish to believe so far as it takes nothing from us here.

MPSA:
Your brother said; He will listen to the same people I posted So I wanted him to hear from the same people about my country , They love SA more than anything else South Africa is totally different compare to Makoko I see people around the world in my country So it's not necessary for me to respect other countries more than mine

And who is this slave boy who keeps giggling at his own stupidity? calling Makoko at the slightest of all his statements which are devoid of common sense?

Atimes I blame Obasanjo for the roles we played, both monetary and otherwise towards their liberation, but from all indications, it seems our efforts was a futile one due to how these people still reason till date. Keep posting videos of whites, chanting "my country" up and down like a mentally deranged, demented and xenophobic Zulu ape that you are...

Until you show me your own video here, I won't take you serious, you can now crawl back to the slum you came out from, a$$ licker displaying a magnifarious level of brain tumor...

Maduawuchukwu:
Rubbish! People showed you the best they have and u applaud it as evidence of the development of their whole country. It is just like me showing u Banana Island and using it as the basis of Nigeria's development.
It is a pity that critical thinking through facts presented is not a big deal in Nigeria here.

Don't mind the dude, am ashamed at his level of thinking, well, he already showed his hatred for Nigeria, when someone hates you, he eventually sees nothing good about you.

TayserMahiri:
Thank you, we are just wondering why Arinze and co. are wasting so much time posting photos that represent abject failure wherever they were taken. Its surprising those guys are not feeling ashamed. They are so embarrassing. Kenya is way ahead man, almost catching up with S.A

You were told what you wanted to hear, so why won't you jump around like a happy dog? What you don't know is that we have different categories of people here in Nigeria, some who think we have not achieved much with our resources, some others who seek secession, And those who entirely hate everything about Nigeria, but does that mean we ain't progressing? No. They keep recounting our problems because they feel we ought to be better, but can you find them amongst you Kenyans? You would rather keep deluding your selves and the gullible ones with your make believe stories and pictures, we all know the real Kenya outside Nairobi...all thanks to the internet.

So you can choose to believe whatever you wish if only it would feed your ego.

broill33r:
your pics add no value nor do they change any perceptions, you think we cant also post many pics ??

Hate is inborn in you guys like a DNA.. your fellow countrymen asked for it anyway.

#spits!

Greatigbos:
why are this people so dumb



of all the problems hanging on Nigeria neck u guys only think of Nigeria jellof rice



what is even wrong with all this dumb people...like president like the vp....no direction

See frustration, your type would just see a topic and jump in to start throwing banters without even reading through, If not you would get the point he was driving at.

I shaa blame bloggers who make a mountain out of a everything.

arinzeejikonye:
Kenya chill first,i aint done with my ghana brothers

Nwannem easy now, do you want to kill this people?? You just got them maimed, they would soon resort to insults out of inferiority..lol

Just30:
who would go on that line that have already been argued ?
You can keep watching those pics to build up your ego and feel good but Everyone who has been to your country knows the problems instead of working on it, you play politics and tribalism.
Its called
Electricity
Water supply
Health care
Education
Transportation
Infrastructure (to combine every other thing)

Every African country is lacking in all you have enlisted. Am a realist, unlike you guys that would tell lies to feel happy.

From all you listed, Electricity is the basic thing we are lacking, and who dafuk told you we are lacking in water supply?? that the Government doesn't supply every area with water doesn't mean we don't have improvised and substantial means of getting water. As for the rest we are still trying, that doesn't mean we are totally doomed nor does it mean we ain't making any progress like you guys always make it look. Nigeria has got more health care facilities compared to Ghana, but the increasing population remains a bane.

Don't forget there is a large population and Geographical area meant to cover, even China a first world country has these problems much more we.

As for education, don't be deluded by what you hear, for the fact that Nigerians are schooling in Ghana doesn't mean you guys are better, most of them couldn't meet up with the educational standard and criteria here, reason they all go to where they would find it easy, many of these people have failed JAMB and POST UTME here several times, we have got many Federal, State and Private universities, not adding Polytechnics and Colleges of Education, but you won't find it easy cos of the fierce competition, In Nigeria we struggle for everything, don't forget the population factor, this is the major reason Nigerians are known for hard work and can survive anywhere in world owing to the society they were breed in.

Both the Rich, Middle class, and poor are all struck in same competition at one time or the other.

Just30:
deal with it
When your whole country is a mess and won't be on par with any civilized society for a very long time to come
Nigeria is not Ghana's mate
Even if Ghana stops developing for 20 years

You see what am saying? They lack proper basis for arguments, they would just rather make a generalized statement to boost their little ego, at least you sound a bit intelligent compared to the Oxygen dude, now tell me how your statement above has countered my facts filled assertions? you see why I prefer Kenyans?

Funny enough, this is someone who claims to have been to Nigeria. Baba we argue with facts and not your usual chest beating and throwing of banters... Prove me wrong or forever remain silent, don't quote me and type trash, make use of your God given brain for once.

The Oxygen guy was posting random pictures of small Ghana and I was just laughing, while my fellow Compatriot is posting just pictures of the Lagos and it's sub-hurbs and still beating the contest, that's to tell we compare your whole country to Lagos.

I had tried several times to explain to these guys that Nigeria is too big for this comparison, but they won't listen, Nigeria has 36 states, and each of these states have got a capital city, which we don't even touch most times in course any argument, Now imagine what it would look like posting random pictures of these places... the comparison would eventually look biased, because we would beat them hands down! heck... I would keep reiterating that Nigeria is too big for this argument, for every one structure you have, we have 36 of them scattered across different cities and state capitals here in Nigeria including Abuja.

deal with that!

Kenyanstar:
Stop making yourself look like an idiot.... The Victoria island pictures you are posting here only houses 0.0001 percent of the 10m Lagosians which is around 50k or so while the rest of the 10m live in squalor and pathetic situation. No running water, lack of hospital facilities, no sewage system, lethargic sewage system, poorly equipped public schools, non existent waste disposal system. Nigeria is a bad joke.

Your ignorance left me in awe. That was just a sub-hurb of Lagos, there are still many of them with modern facilities, Lagos is actually a state in Nigeria comprising of many cities/sub-hurbs, I would have loved to school you a bit to satisfy your curiosity, but you never sounded like someone who is willing to learn, hence I would leave you with your ignorance and hate filled soul, or you can better still try google.

Just30:
exactly
So why do you bring Ghana into your national discuss?

Ghana is a relatively small and developing country, all thanks to their population and small geographical area, I actually have friends who school and live there, so I have no problem with them, but comparing them with Nigeria is what I don't like.

Again when Ghana was brought into the discourse, there was no hate intended, But you Ghanaians have got this inferiority complex coupled with a relative hate for Nigerians for reasons I don't know, so you guys just jump into the whole scene and start dishing out insults, trust Nigerians, you don't expect them to keep mute.

Accra is beautiful, cool and calm, but saying it is more than Lagos or Abuja would only buttress your ignorance, A Ghanaian friend visited Victoria island (A sub-hurb of Lagos) and couldn't believe his eyes, life in Lagos is generally more interesting compared to Accra. Abuja on the other hand is a capital/administrative city, fully planned and the most developing city in Africa.

Again In Ghana, Accra is the only city where you can find total luxury, Kumasi, Tema, Tarkorodi are also cool places though. But in Nigeria, We have Lagos, Abuja, PortHacourt...No amount of luxury you seek that can't be found here, not to mention other cities Like Calabar, Kano, Jos, Enugu, Uyo, Ibadan and the rest.

You now see why I don't want to engage you guys in an argument? we are bigger so we have got them many, but Ghana is all about Accra, the only justifiable basis for the argument is the electricity you guys enjoy more.

Nowenuse:
Many Ghanaians and other Africans from other smaller countries are just very bitter souls. Many of them are very angry that they belong to smaller and uninfluencial countries, so when they see large nations like Nigeria making progress and still dominating the cultural sphere of the region, they switch to attack mode.

These bitter souls do not know the pains and sacrifice the average Nigerian pays to maintain the oneness of a huge country like Nigeria.

They devote their time to try to rubbish and make fun of Nigeria in order to massage their little egos and at least feel better about themselves and their little development.

They forget that a baby Elephant and a baby Zebra may be born about the same size, but as they grow older the difference becomes clearer and the Elephant takes it rightful place.

Aside North-east and North-west Nigeria that is really dragging Nigeria backwards, Nigeria would have been leading Africa in most of the human indexes.
However, gradually, this gap is closing up and in few decades from now, these regions will catch up with the south.
North-central region used to be very backwards too like North-east and North-west, but North-centrals are rapidly catching up with the south and in less than 10 years from now, they will equal the south in almost all Human indexes and development.

You are entirely right bro, The hate is what I can't fathom. I had from the onset, been against this arguments with Ghanaians and other small countries, I see it it as a vain argument cos we share nothing apart from region in common, why not make a comparison between Nigeria and Ethiopia that has the highest and second highest population in Africa? (No pun/disrespect intended to Ethiopians) This people have so much hate in them like DNA, I just can't understand, they make mockery of us at the slightest opportunity they get, forgetting Nigeria is a very complex country with much religious, Ethnic and tribal diversities. Even India and China with a more homogeneous tribe and a relatively large population face all these, much more a third world country like Nigeria with the diversities, Civil war and Insurgence we have faced, these little countries should be ashamed of themselves.

It remains an Insult to me, to compare Nigeria and Ghana cos we share nothing in common apart from region and British colonialism. As for Kenya that the citizens are starving without any war or political instability, they should cover their heads in shame.

Funny thing is that with all these many problems, we still lead them in almost everything thing, they keep bringing up uncertified facts to boost their little ego, try to school them or engage them in a meaningful argument, they resort to insults and throwing of banters... What frustration causes, if these people represent the characters of people I would find in their country, then Africa is doomed!

#spits..

Every African nation has it's share of poor people. What I find hard to understand is why most people here find it hard to reason in line with what my fellow compatriots have been trying to explain for a long time now, which still looks like a vain mission.

This is mostly from the Ghanaians here, why do they so much hate Nigerians and type with so much hate?? I should be scared to visit that country with what am seeing here, who knows I may be lynched on knowing am a Nigerian. I just want to clear the air on this issue to avoid further arguments.

Nigerians aren't poor or even near to what you may regard a pauper, which is obtainable in many African nations I don't want to mention. Nigeria has the highest population of average people who work hard daily to make ends meet, you can't regard these people as poor unless your definition of poverty is different from mine, many of these struggling people feed and still manage to at least send their wards to a Federal University which are plenty here.

What inflates the number of poor people here is the North East. This region has had countless of attacks owing to the insurgence and Boko Haram attacks which many of you already know. Again this region was lagging behind their southern counterparts before all these owing to their religious affinity which already made them not open to development, the North has commercial cities like Kano, Kaduna, Maidugri (war ravaged) and many more which are buzzing in business, but most of these people would rather resort to begging and over dependence on Govt then live in abject poverty instead of going out to work, am not generalizing cos they still got many potentials and hardworking people. Adding to these, their polygamous nature also keeps increasing the population.

Another one is the immigration factor, most people from war ravaged and poor Countries like Chad, Niger due to starvation and search for greener pastures emigrate to Nigeria, because they all have a border in the North, so these all add up to rate of poverty in the North and Nigeria at large since they are also included as Nigerians because you can hardly differentiate them from our core Northerners here owing to their similar culture and religion.

My point is, An average Nigerian is not poor, The insurgence, population factor is what is making it look so when you take the average. An average Nigerian is enlightened and has access to the internet.

I tried to be objective as I can, and this is the reality or near-realtity of what is on ground here...

The reason I don't like engaging Ghanaians in an argument is that they always sound bitter and pained. Could that be attributed to frustration or just sheer wickedness? No wonder them the behave like chali chali...

Their arguments are always devoid of logic and factual analysis. Accra this and and, funny how one was calling Nigerians poor, so Ghanaians are rich? hilarious! Abegi stop these arguments.. OK, Ghana is better than Nigeria, hope they are happy now?? Anything to make Lil brothers happy...i hope they sleep well tonight.

Nowenuse:
Well, this is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

Gbam! And again she should learn to speak for herself and stop generalizing it all, cos I don't agree with some of her comments, As hard as it is, You have been the most objective realist here so far.

whatever Fayose's motive for his actions was, I don't care. But I respect him for that singular act, my love for him increased tremendously, he has got the balls which our South eastern governors couldn't exhibit.

I soo love this post and some comments here, like atimes when I see guys display all manner of stupidity and ass licking even on a faceless forum like NL just to please ladies who may not even give a bleeping shii about them, I only buh wish all men can be like me. when you know what you have got, you won't be easily manipulated by the female folks.

Am not bragging, but from experience, women get obsessed with guys who give them little or no attention, have you wondered why pretty girls with the number of guys who give them attention, always tend to fall in love with that strong hearted guy who uses her own emotions against her and cares less about her feelings? that is plain psychology, men need to learn, stop the ass licking, it's damn annoying...

Nairaland boys, make una try get sense small, start thinking with your brain and not your third leg, learn to be in control cos you are the man, and that's how it should be.

Be the man!

A true story of a man who lost his life in a struggle...RIP!

Questions you seek, and questions you shall receive..
BTW all these sex starved guys for NL sef...
