I don't care what any one says, Islam is not a religion of peace, the advocate violence and all we do is watch.

um, I'm not an expert on Islam, neither have I read the Koran, but let's note that there are muslims in Southern Nigeria, especially South-west who do not riot or kill others . South-western muslims are not a "minority" or "foreigners" either. Even when previous riots occured in Lagos/South-west it was Northern Muslims resident in the South-west that rioted, not "native" muslims.

I sincerely beleive the Nigerian riots are ethnic under the guise of religion. Even in the mid-east the Arabs have a Warrior/Violent mentality about them, and I'm pretty sure it pre-dates Islam. They would be the same way even if they were christians.

people in my family comes here b/c my grand parents are from here. My dad is in nigeria, he comes here to visit tho.

Kokscity:
Why didn't you get your BS in Chemo in Unilag or Igbenidion University? Why are you having you parents waste money to come here on Vacation? Have them patronize Yankari game reserve or Obudu Cattle ranch.

Also why not invite the grand parents along with other family members to visit Nigeria for a few weeks a year. The tourism industry can do with the forex.

Then head home to create jobs for my folks.

Can I ask all jokes apart, how you intend to do that?

We do have enough constitution. We just need to enforce it. adding new constitution doesn't help if we can abide by the one that r already exixsted. But well, we are progressing beleive it or not. Slowly though. That's all am saying. And we all need to make that secrifice.

you are obviously very passionate, but you did not answer the crux of my statement which is about trust. Please read my comment properly. Yes we have a constitution, I am not asking that we change it, I am asking that we enforce it, but the political class beleives they can change whenever they want. Yes we need sacrifice but I am yet to see any genuine sacrifice from the politicos. My sentiment is that no matter how far you progress industrially, an unstable political climate will prevent the masses from seeing that benefit.

Amobi 1:
The bigest problem Africa faces now is industrilization. The people need jobs. well, thats all. As i always end up saying. Rome was not built in a day.

You talk about people needing jobs and industrialization. How do you provide jobs without investment? How do you attract investment without a stable political climate? Please don't tell me about local investment. We have being doing that for the last 20 years see how far it got us.

I know some will refer to OBJ's fruitless junkets abroad appealing to foreign investors as a reason for local investment. Well let me tell you this, such trips are unnecessary. How many trips do you see the Chinese communist party making, almost zero, yet companies are rushing in to invest, Why?

1) A huge under-marketed populace - 1billion people
2) Political stability - They may have human rights issues but the leadership has an established means of governance and it is followed not changed at whim.

Nigeria also has a huge under-marketed population. The largest in Africa. The one thing we lack is a transparent, serious government.

Please don't tell me the govt is trying. Let me tell you how the politicos are the start and end of our economic predicament. When Nigerian politicos pilfer resources, where do they ship it to? "Foreign banks". Who lends companies money to invest? "Foreign banks".
Do you think that a bank that knows the politicos behaviour will ask their clients to invest in that same country? Impossible. Let us not forget that this same drum of "come home" has been beaten b4 during OBJs time in 1977, and Nigerians heeded. The same Nigerians headed out again few years later when they saw the unseriousness of the Shagari govt. The fact that Nigerians don't revolt violently against the politicos does not mean we are blind. I repeat it is an issue of TRUST.

Amobi 1:
That the problem with nigerians, i will pay taxes to a white men but not in my own land.

Have you ever heard of PAYE? Nigerian Federal and State civil servants have their taxes removed before they see their paycheck. Some Nigerians actually pay taxes. It is misused along with the rest of the govt revenue.

Amobi 1:
How can a country build if the ones with international experiences doesn't want to share it with his folks. Afterall Rome, U.k the so call U.S were never build in a day!!!

True they were never built in a day, but it was easy to see genuine effort was being made. An example. Thabo Mbeki of South Africa recently announced there will be no constitutional ammendment to allow him remain in power. OBJ on the other hand has refused to categorically silence the syncophants. Why encourage the mistrust and distraction? If you want Nigerians to return you have to earn their trust, most left when they got tired of the lies.

I confess its been enjoyable.

I confess I still have a couple of hours to go.

I confess you should have sweet dreams, adios.
