WHAT DAVID CAMERON DID NOT KNOW ABOUT NIGERIA.


All over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves .

In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you'll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated .

60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%.

Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k .

In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations .

A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK.

The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto State .

The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija .

South Africa couldn't have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played .

Of the 3 Presidents who ruled South Africa after apartheid, two of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum .

Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly.

Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone that the world ignored because they have no oil.

When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power .

Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil .

500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask .

Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610 .

We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge.
The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station.

Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past.

If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you'll not get the full picture of your Nigerian heritage .

Do not listen to any leader who says Nigerians are criminals, no matter who he is, or his height and position .

We're not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness.

What CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians.
On the 7th May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians.

They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas et al.

If you don't blow your trumpet, no one will blow it for you.

VulgarVulvas:
We are a democracy.

We are the system. We change the system to suit us and not for us to adapt to the system.

Only in jungles do people adapt to their environment.

In civilised society the people modify the environment to suit them - that is what civilisation means.

If adamu or Tajudeen does not want the system to change, the we will leave adamu and tajudeen in their useless system.

how many things your system don change(apart from voting apc thank goodness we now sure we have a democracy).
nigerians not the system is the problem.
nothing can change when ppl keep selling their votes for cups of rice(which kin poverty and ignorance be dat,at least request a bag a year)

wetin de always de worry all these old baba thieves?
is nigeria not made up of 36 regions,if not 774.wetin dem take am do?

MyPWisINCORRECT:
It is a well known fact that 90% of the oil blocks in the Niger Delta are owned by Northerners and Westerners.

It is also a fact that 70% of the employees in the International Oil Companies (IOCs) operating in the Niger Delta region are Westerners.

These two factors, in my opinion berthed this new face of insurgency in the Niger Delta.

The modus operandi of the Avengers suggests they are truly Niger Delta graduates from Eastern Europe.

WHY SHOULD A GRADUATE BE INVOLVED IN THIS KIND OF SABOTAGE?

In as much as there are many lazy youth in the Delta, there are also a good number of hardworking youth willing to develop themselves but aren't given equal opportunity with their counterparts from other regions.

A few days ago, the photo of a Niger Delta lady carrying a placard bearing "I need a job...I am a Ph.D student" went viral.

Desperation and hunger can drive one into doing the unthinkable, as seen in her case. Who knows what these Avengers guys went through after returning from Eastern Europe in search of employment before they took to criminality.

Unfortunately a lot of young and vibrant egg-heads abound in the Delta who are denied equal opportunity with other applicants from particularly the West...simply because they are from the South South... and of course, the HR Managers of virtually all the IOCs in the Delta are from the West (fact).

HOW DID THE WEST OCCUPY ALL THE JUICY POSITIONS IN THE IOCS OPERATING IN THE DELTA?

It was simply the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme that they used in short-changing the Niger Deltans.

While Niger Deltans were sent far North and West to teach in Secondary School and its likes, those from the West and North were sent to the oil fields of the Niger Delta to serve. In other words, it was fashioned such that the Niger Deltans will go and give basic education to those that will in turn work in their oil fields...Chai! There is God!!

This trend continued since the inception of NYSC until it was stopped in Rivers State by Sir Dr. Peter Odili (1999 - 2007) who insisted that any corper coming to Rivers State must teach in Rivers schools too. I wish other Niger Delta governors did same.

Unfortunately the harm had already been done. Many corpers from the West and North who served in the Deltas between the 70s and 90s were retained in their places of primary assignments (IOCs) and they are now the senior managers in the IOCs and have been nepotically packaging and repackaging their children and even tribes men/women to succeed them. On the other hand, most of our Fathers from the Delta who were sent to serve in the North and West between the 70s and 90s only came back with the acquisition of vocabularies, they served in their respective state civil service and have retired in penury thereby making it impossible to provide for and manage their children and wards.

Today, those children are part of the menace to society.

Go to all the multinationals operating in the Delta, everday you see new hires (Permanent Staff) on daily basis with names like Shola Durotoye, Hakeem Awolisi, Segun Ogunlesi, etc recruited from Lagos and posted to Forcados, Escravos, Bonny, Qua IBoe, Omoku, Izombe, etc... No na, that's unfair!

Meanwhile graduates of Niger Delta extraction are given temporary hire contracts, cleaners and tea girls in same IOCs...that's a recipe for insurgency.

MY SUGGESTIONS FOR LASTING PEACE

My plea is, with the prevailing circumstance, the government should roll out employment policies to favour the geese that lays the golden egg.

Multinationals should also review their employment policies and offer 75% of the available employment openings to locals.

Nigerian Content should be "Local Content."

The Delta youth should be given a sense of belonging.

10% Host Community allawee should not be expunged from the Petroleum Industry Bill.

Hardworking youth in the region should be encouraged and not the Outlaws.

Rapid development of the region.

I rest my case.

It's unfortunate how some of you reason. GEJ government was bad but this is worse. How could a serious government be juxtaposing blames for a whole year. As if he was not right here in Nigeria when the mess was going on.

its sad how cause and effect eludes you tanists. if jonathan had won it would have been worse(he is truly goodluck).he would have just continued looting till war broke out or the country disentegrated.all you are thinking of is the now.we who voted for
a change,any change.just look at the childish behaviour pdp are displaying because there is no more money to share again,is that what you want in time of crisis? at least now they will reset themslves bfor next elections and this will force both parties(apc are crooks just like pdp,weknow) we have to play them against each other and hopefully they wil be forced to bribe voters with goodd governance

RaDaZaBaNa:
I was very close to this man. He is my lecturer and my project supervisor and we have been very close since i was the class rep in 100 lvl.

One thing led to another in 200 lvl 2nd semeter, my sister was seeking for admission. After a year of seeking for admission for law in my school, i finally decided to alert this my lecturer and he helped us secure her admission into law.

He told me he was interested in her but i waived it off as a joke and he never mentioned it again untill .

Later, He came back and told me that he wants my sister.. I told him she had a boyfriend and he flared up and insisted he wanted to marry her and he would have her either ways.

This hatred continued thru out 300 lvl second semester and he gave me carryovers in his two courses.. I wanted to report him but i kept my calm as it may later back fire.

After so much persuasion and begging and even sending my girlfriend and friends to me, i decided to speak with my sister on his behalf.

After all, he is a young widower with only one kid already in jss3 and he claims christianity. And from interactions with him , he is disciplined, hardworking, funny, not bad looking, intelligent and rich too.

I spoke with sis who outrightly said No and this i stated to mr lecturer who begged me to still talk to her.

I went to sis again twice to consider the man and she said no even to the point it almost caused a serious fight between us. I even went as far as fixing a meeting btw lecturer and my sis and her answer was still no.

Now mr lecturer has said if my sister refuse to marry him. We will not enjoy our stay in school.

My sister is already failing her courses and my graduation is at stake,

my sister informed my mum who arrived the school and called a few lecturers to warn the man.. The man was punished, his two months salary withdrawn and my scripts for his courses to be marked by another lecturer.. My project was even transferred from him to another lecturer.

The man left without reacting and didnt act funny

2 wks later, the real probelm surfaced. In my 200 lvl, i was involved in a fracas with some cult boys and a fight broke out, everyone involved was expelled, it was by this man mercy who being a member of sdc at that time omitted my name.. Tho the expelled students kept mentioning my name, there was no evidence in the documented account..

Not to talk of times i have been caught by dress code and he covered me..

Now he said he is ready to leak out all the secrets and if he does that, it is surely expulsion for me.. And expulsion is not something i can imagine now not only because i av suffered and in final year but because i have been earlier rusticated at 300 level in a federal university for a similar offence 6 years ago.

How will i face my single mum who has sold almost all she had and struggled to send me back to school that i have been rusticated for the second time ,,

The only thing he is demanding now is that he is not even interested in marrying her again but he must sleep with her..and i must make sure i ensure this withnin 7 days.

Now am so confused ? I dont dare tell my sister about this nor my mother.. And after that episode with my mother coming to embarass the man, all the lecturersa and staff av been looking me with one eye and i dont know who to trust.


I spoke with a few of my friends who advised that we arranged the kidnap of his little kid and threaten if he exposed me , his kid dies. Some even said we shld call alorai to threaten him or even kill him if he proves stubborn...

But this man has been nice to me and i cant begin to say how he had helped me ,,,, was it when he paid my fees, or the free lifts home and clothes and foodstuffs ?or when he accomodated my sister and myself for 3 weeks when we were sent out of hostel ?

Even the thought of his little kid calling me uncle and making the little boy an orphan will not make me hurt the man ?

Av been begging him now and he seems adamant .... Am a 27 yrs old and earlier rusticated student and expulsion is not an option (God forbid )


i just want an option that would favour my lecturer and myself and my sister wouldnt be involved, no one is hurt...


Some people might say cooked up story or nollywood, right now, i care less. All i need now is advice before i kill my self.

Sorry for the long post pls.

supply your sister,catch him red handed with camera,you don graduate smoothly be dat

Just getting tired of all these political drama engulfed in hunger & poverty ,youths ,lets come up with something new that can bring about the revolution our country needs,lets form a political party free from corruption,anarchy,tyrany,propaganda.Let us embrace a new mind in an embyonic political party.Y.P.C-YOUNG PEOPLES' CONGRESS.ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,THESE MADNESS MUST STOP!

define "young person" shey you know 30 and you cannnot be president uness you're 40

IrradiatoR:
You are absolutely right @Vitalis



on the other hand though, one wonders why the FG is finding it difficult to protect it's 'lifeline'

creeks are not easy to navigate(and very easy to hit and run) but i agree they should flood the delta with soldirs and air support as well as use sss to infiltrate the militants and bring them down.but military probably making money of crisis

TrueSenator:
leadership is responsibility........ Why not blame the leader PMB....... In one year PMB is still not responsible for any failure...... Na wahoooooo for this kind foolishness

point the failure that he has control over.
is it international fuel price?
is it value of naira that is a result of zero productivity and importation for lasst 60 years?
boko that gej allowed to spread?
or militants that just want their own share(abi you think say dem send una,dem boyloaf and tom ateke are billionaires now o)
i givee you fulani herdsmen but everything else na wash

mrvitalis:
Yes more like it... . Continue Buhari if it becomes too much declare a state of emergency and put an hausa man there

na in dia eye go clear

Vomm:
The millitans be like,
Food dey my bakyard, directly or indirectly, I no fit chop from am, na some bufoon from the north come carry cutlery dey enjoy the food. Even federal government chop chop chop no remember to clean the floor and the dinning table. We go kuma pour the food troway with the pot.

when they could have grabbed the governor or commissioner or chairman owu see weda the food no go produce

henryutd:
Nigeria set to produce zero barrel of oil per day.

then you will pay more taxes and import duty

Alfamann:
Buhari, a little advise for you: the best way to reign in insurgency is to recognise one group, give it powers, negotiate with it, and let him keep the power as long as it annihilates all other insurgents. Take your pick: MASSOB, IPOD, NDA, MEND or another one you can even create yourself.

Any other move, one nigeria is a gonner.

he has a group.it's calle nigerian security forces

sosanova:
[size=13pt]
It's another ONE....DJ Khaleed
Buhari how market
Militant groups springing up every where and bombing any available crude oil or gas pipeline all cos of the divisive and triblaistic, ethnocentric gworo chewing, buruktutu drinking, and Economic assassin President called Buhari.
By the time Crude oil production in Nigeria drop to an all time low by June next month cos of militancy, which will now cause the Economy to experience full blown recession, cause electricity supply to drop to an all time low across the country, and cause millions of jobs loss n force business to shut down,which will also affect many APC zombies, then Buhari n his bad advisers with their APC Zombies supporters will now know that Nigeria is sittting on a key of Gun powder that is about to explode.
Buhari n his bad advisers think to rule Nigeria is by Gra Gra.[/size]

buhari is living large in aso rock/residents are homeless,militants in mosquito infested creeks.who lose

Agimor:

TrueSenator:
Nigerians are not lazy...... Prices respond to government actions and policies..... Besides why blame Nigerians...... Is it because they voted in PMB? No one will sell rice lower than what they bought it for..... Except he's a thief or a philanthropist.

nigerians are very lazy.
,there is a difference btw desperado and hardworking.
one has achoice,another doesn't(takes whatever he sees)
why import rice when we have local one that is supposed to be cheaper(more manifestation of the laziness)
abi govt no allow una enter farm ne?

nigeriafilm:
We refused to be cowed. We will always talk when necessary. Nigeria is in a bad shape more than ever. From energy to market and to the general economy they have failed to maintain even the standard handed to them.
we are no longer asking for the promises they made, we are only asking to be restored to where we were handed to them.

nobody say you shouldn't talk.but talk after thinking not before.well if you want t go back to gej lifestyle bayelsa not far at all among other pdp states.how can a normal person say he wants to go back to stealing is not corruption and invisible cassava bread and unseen local rice.

This is the most insensitive comment I have read in a while. Many of those you insult are the most hardworking. I have cleaners and porters in my office who are the first to come to the office and the last to leave yet get paid only #18,000 for all their trouble.
Now tell me what work those guys at NASS who collect billions monthly do. What work does Buhari himself do that he collects billions monthly?.

sorry to say this but who sensitivity epp?it's like saying you will give your child sugar instead of chloroquin when they have chronic malaria.giving 10ppl 18k to sweeep with broom when you can employ 1 person with a leaf blower, lawn mower,tractor etc to boos their productivity is just plain inefficint.now the chickens are coming home to roost we're all forming politically correct instead of solving the problem the root.(low productivity).and i wasn't talking about the crooked but smart senators but the civil servants who do nothing all year unless they're sharing money or food.Buhari administers the entire nation(you are probabaly unemployed or underemployed )that's why you ask such a question.(brain work is really difficult and that why most run away from it and the few who brave it get paid big moni(ask doctors and stock brokers)).sorry to say bu pitying poor people won't solve their problem

And the Nigerians that have alligned with reality are only wailing.
