Look at all of us conversing in a language that our colonizers bequeathed us. Even when I am amongst Nigerians who all speak a particular language, everyone wants to form and show off their prowess in English. Every other great nation uses a particular native language as the language of instruction in their institutions, but not us. We have been mentally colonized to the point that we see our native languages as inferior. Wouldn't it have been better for Buhari to speak his native language and have it translated as opposed to having suffered through his barely comprehensible English?

Russia has over 193 ethnic groups and hundreds of language, but they do not speak English nor deem it necessary. Heck, when I converse with so many Nigerians online, they incessantly use American slang, especially African American slang. Sometimes I ask myself, what exactly is the cultural backgrounds of most Nigerians? Foreign language. Foreign religions. Foreign attires. Foreign method of governance. Lots of foreign names. And almost no one sees it as a problem. Colonized People!

If it wasn't for my job, I would have moved to Lancaster too, but it is too far from where I work. I work in Santa Monica and I live in Playa Del Rey. The rent here no be joke: $3000 for two bedrooms and two bathrooms, lol.

The main money we owe is the one we owe the IMF and the World Bank.

We owe IMF $2.5 trillion as of June 6, 2023. You can see it on IMF website.

We owe World Bank $13.45 billion (International Development Association - IDA) and another $487.03 million (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development - IBRD).

IDA and IBRD are the two arms of the World Bank. And the World Bank and the IMF are the two arms of the United States. So we owe the US over $2.5 trillion.

When we calculate $2.5 trillion against the $5.16 billion we owe China, France, Japan, India, and Germany, you know it's child play.

Bro, I think you have made a serious mistake. I went to the IMF website and it was 2,454,500,000 dollars that we owe. That is $2.45 billions, not trillions.

Don't bother responding, i won't respond to you because I don't know which angle you are going about this issue. Someone called my country hell..when Mazi Nnamdi Kanu called the country a name all hell broke loose.

Insulted me and other people here, isn't that enough to speak to him in the language he will understand like Buhari

Nigeria is my country too and I was very pleased to return a few months ago after more than a decade overseas. It wasn't a good look for the OP to phrase his opinions so harshly, so I understand why so many people are angry. He could have gone about it a different way. No need for us to be angry. Have a nice day boss. Can't wait to come back to Nigeria.

Oga, is Tourist123 your monika? Come clean pls..are you saying it's impossible? Are you saying that money doesn't talk? That Tourist123 CAN'T be tracked down? Are you in support of the disrespect on me and some other people here?

LOOOL. I am not Tourist123. Money talks, but folks with money don't conduct yourself like you are doing right now. I thought I had seen everything on NL, but threatening to arrest someone is a new one. I am enjoying this actually.

drpat1:
Forming? Me?

Oga you are talking about arresting people and threatening people, all from the comfort of your computer. It seems like forming na. You don't even know who Tourist123 is. How will you accomplish this?

drpat1:
For the record:

Come o!

Let "NOBODY" come and beg me that we are all Nigerians. If you do, you will see.

Una dey here o! Una no say anything or caution him.

I will also let TSA know.

Nigerians and unnecessary forming. Chai, I miss my country already.

You’re cursing your father’s land , is that something to be proud of?
The first world country una Dey run go, didn’t they face same thing , did they run? If they were cowards like you lot, una go see where to run go? Rubbish. White man slave .

Actually, those white men ran from Europe to the Americas. Millions of Irish, Italians, Germans, etc also fled Europe to go to America. By your own judgement, they were cowards too.
