biafranqueen: how about those sold from baby factory? Just asking

#80million:
seriously, i read your piece about 10 times, but i still DON'T get your point. Sorry.

bellong: ^^^ You need to read the extreme abusive language used in the Nigeria in Nigeria and Nigeria in Diaspora thread. I wonder why people cannot pass across their point without descending to using derogatory words.

The painful thing is most of these people claim to be religious and serving God yet their actions and attitude cannot reflect in their confession...

I will not be surprised if the mother of the girl claims its an attack from her enemies.

owolabifunke14: This foolish girl wasted an opportunity a lot of us had dreamnt of ever since we turned 18. Mek my bobo come propose in d middle of shoprite ooooooo

Justosaus: the girl's obviously a witch, cos i don't see wat d guy has done wrong. Later now dem go dey go for all night fasting & prayer dey find husband...

AjanleKoko: Okay bros.

First the initial premise, which is that education has failed its customers. My first question would be, are we referring to tertiary education solely, or the whole shebang (primary-secondary-tertiary)?

And also, in what context are we placing the perceived failure? Is it quality (delivery and output), availability/access, or net gains to both individual and society?

Do clarify.

Allohrandy: Your argument is not logical..Most Nigerians travel to Ghana and SA for business..There are also thousands of Ghana and SA citizens who flock Nigeria embassy to get Nigeria visa so they can do business in Nigeria..The world is now a global village. Anyway I don't think Ghana economy is stronger than Nigeria and in SA the wealth is not evenly distributed between blacks and white..most blacks in SA are poor

successking: Taking a deep look at Nigeria, one will see clearly that Nigeria is not cursed in any way, but people like you who preferred slavery to freedom in a modern free world are cursed.

collynzo2: It's amazing that with all the 'super Nigerians' in diaspora, Nigerians still have a very bad image! I've seen foreigners (who have never been to Nigeria) write and say stuffs like: Nigerians stink (they don't use deodorants)
Nigerians are rude
Nigerians are thieves and all that.
I doubt if it's the Nigerians at home that built this image.

A-town:
Mrs Jenny Kadry,

I think by starting this thread and making some of the comments, you erred big time. Yes there may be people who beef NID and wot not. As a diasporan that has benefitted from the west, the onus is on you to show THEM THE RIGHT way. How about trying to do things that will educate them/make them be less critical. How about putting some of the skills that you have gained into good use when you are back in the country. You are a NIGERIAN first and everything you are today is attributed to being a NIGERIAN. The only reason you appreciate AUSTRALIA is because you have seen WORSE conditions in Nigeria. Rather than castigate these people, you can help alleviate the problem. The only common denomination here is POVERTY. THe only people that have time to beef anyone are the poor ones. THe rich people in nigeria don't have time for that because they are too busy making more money or enjoying their fabolous lives.

As an example, how many times have you seen a diasporan come back to the country, buy gala and fan yogo and then toss it out the window when they wouldn't do such in their country of domicile?
How many times have you seen diasporans come back in the country, have to line up at an office or something and then use their status/pay someone to get ahead of the line?
Their are tonnes of examples available. The question is, is it right for you to accuse a poor man for being oppressed?

Cultured: @OP

You are a slowpoke by terming our beloved country " shait hole " ... For your information , our best in all professions are based in Nigeria, it's only faint hearty ignoramuses like you and your ilks that do make it look as if it's a big deal living as second class citizen in abroad . Suffice to say 99% of Nigerians living in this so called abroad lives from hand to mouth , so I don't see why you should feel like a demi-god , because you reside abroad temporarily/permanently. If every body should runaway from this country , then who will fix it well ?

Hey! Before you attack me , note that I have traversed the breath and length of this world and I hold permanent residence in 3 different advance countries ,USA inclusive and even as I write this piece am not in Nigeria , but that's not reason enough for me to term my beloved country " shait hole " like you did , because I know that Nigeria still remain the best country in this world .

demmy: We don't need him to diagnose for us what we already knew. He should go do in-depth analysis about corruption in his own country.

successking: These are old stories we have heard over and over again. Tell us something new or keep quiet forever.

alnaijiri: My Islamic teacher told me that with every curse, there is a blessing. Now you may think that Nigeria is cursed with corruption, immorality, mediocrity, confusion, etc, but I see it in a different way, an optimistic way. More than ever, God has shown Nigerians, to a greater degree than He has to other nations, that ONLY ISLAM can transform a society, not Western values, not Xtianity, not pagan juju, not money, not hip-hop, not nollywood, not technology.

Only when we listen to God with respect to how to live our lives the way our Creator has intended, can we live in a harmonious, fair, and prosperous society.

Iyfe Namikaze: atleast some one saw how one dimensional the brit was. although majority of wat he said were true, there was one particular sentence that he made which exposed how partial he was in his assesment... the point he made about nigeria being classless and that even if we are to change the 109 senators with a random 109 nigerians, that the result would still be the same..... and even if he repeat the process 100times, nothing will change. he now later turned round to say that he lads he worked with were one of the most honest,intelligent and upright people he has ever met.... so i ask, are the lads not also nigerians? he said tht though majority of nigerians were corrupt,there were still few who werent corrupt.. so according to him, the only people who werent corrupt must be the lads he worked with shey? if no body saw that statement of his as patronizing ,then alot of u guys here lack comprehension. .Now the issue of experimening with 109 random nigerian for a set of hundred times..... now lets do the maths 109 x 100 = 10,900. so he is saying that out of ten thousand nine hundred random nigerians, there can't be atlest one hundred nd nine honest and truthful nigerians? this articule is so true as well s false. i wont even go into the return to militry rule bullshit, cuz it will only expose how unprofessional his assesment was concerning the average nigerian. i urge you guys not to swallow this write up hook line and sinker. this articule to me is 80% accurate.

alnaijiri: It is the British with their western predatory culture that have corrupted us. The only hope for this country is Sharia law being implemented by God-fearing Muslims across the nation, from the Niger Delta to the shores of Lake Chad to the islands of the Lagos Lagoon.

Symphony007: What jumped out to me is something i have been thinking for ages. "there are people deliberately sabotaging the nigerian refinaries rehabilitation so that they can keep making profit from fuel import. There is also a cartel sabotaging the power sector so that they can keep importing generators for profit. And i am inclined to belive this people are working together because generators also need fuel to work......so what is pres. Jonathan doing about this people? Because with them lurking, his "transformation agenda" will never be achieved, or are they his buddies?

zaynie: I've alwaiz bin an ardent believer in " e go better" buh last week I found out dt d modern man(homo sapiens) actually was african n frm migration n interbreeding and natural selection, other races evolved. Den I stopped believin dt africa kan eva get better.d african ancestors of dose odha races improving in leapbounds had to leave africa in groups, dey moved far frm dre lands for a reason. Todae dose dt stayed behind still aff dre generations wallowing in corruption n all. Check out all african countries n guess what unifies us; leaders dt don't wanna leave dre seats, opposition dt don't mind killing ppl jes to make a statement,corruptions @ all levels,tribalism,nepotism,profit maximization @ d expense of ppl(imajin some1 tellin me dt I shdnt sell cheaper so dt I won't incur d wrath of awon iya", witchcraft n voodooism,political unrest in abt 50% of african soil.
Check out d world map n look out ow beautifully n strategically placed africa is!discover d diverse ppl in it! CivilisAtion started in africa n yet we r stl called bushmen!our ancestors were unbelievably strong! Dey built d pyramids, lived in rocks hunted wiv barehands n survived in d jungles *imajin wot a typical african jungle must aff looked lyk den*
Dey aff left dre legacy!
What will we leave for generations to come?
What race will evolve from us?
In 2000 years tym what will be left of africa? Deserted lands or blood?
Will it be better?
Or will it hit rock bottom bfor it soars 1ce more?

lynpetra: *smiles*And how sure are you that he/she hasnt tasted our oil money?

stillwater: This!
My feelings for Nigeria have been succinctly stated by this man. I really do not miss 'home'. I call my migration 'the great escape'. I prefer order and peace in my life.

Rossikk: Thank you. So because we have not turned to Japan or Germany, it means we've made no progress? For your information on many things you mentioned we have improved, such as infant mortality rates, poverty rates, and even access to clean drinking water. Evidence:

http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/nigeria_statistics.html

Even the World Bank the other day admitted that poverty was reducing in Nigeria. What about the roads and rail? What about communications? Was it not under the military that all the infrastructure crumbled, something we're now fixing to great acclaim by Nigerians? Will your foreign visitor/writer know any of this? Afterall he just pops in and out and can write anything.

speedyboi: True about Nigerian page....Wrong about Foreign page! white people do abuse alot as well

FILEBE: Bro. Take time there o. Don't you ever say a country is cursed not to talk of my Country. Who cursed it? You abi? Just shut up when you got nothing to say

OsunOriginal: Only animals think like ibos. Normal human beings should think constructively and do things that can be passed on to coming generations.

Youngzedd: We Nigerians are their big bro. You got it

Chubhie: maybe the time is right for a Nigerian Hitler to awaken the sleeping giant of Africa by drawing our attention to how other nations have disrespected Us and then making Jews outta them? Nigeria have the manpower, resources to be among worlds best but we must first learn to love and respect eachother. My wish is to see in this my lifetime a Nigeria we all can be proud of and watch her take her rightful role as a true big brother. Love and not hate is what we need to make this magic happen.

InvertedHammer:
YOU WONDER WHY BLACKS ARE TREATED AS SUBHUMANS.

THEY PORTRAY THEMSELVES AS SUCH.

UNLESS THERE IS A PINK SKIN INVOLVED, IT ALWAYS ENDS UP IN A SH_T HOLE FOR BLACK PEOPLE.
Even the most mediocre students in Nigeria...As soon as they migrate and mingle with Whites, they become First Class materials. So-called lecturers in Nigeria are intellectually lazy.

A country of million engineers and nothing "engineering" is happening. Just cram, vomit, get A grade and add Dr. or Ph.D "title" to your name and the world stops.
