It's inferiority complex syndrome... I must blame or talk rubbish about my country mentality

It's inferiority that embassies in Nigeria have high fences? It's inferiority complex that there are long qeues of japa people and many ready to scam visa agents and criminals?😫

Oakenshield:
But one dey notorious were no like psy NEPA bills or water

Very shameful act by those criminals we call leaders . Imagine an embassies having their power cut 😔

Look at those Black Ghana stars who think their are better than us. If not APC we shouldn't be in such a disgraced position worse than even Libya 😫

Imagine Somalia position, we are truly disgraced 😒

Patrickker:
Why are we Nigerians always like this? We are very quick to spew negatives only about our country on public fora. This is what you hardly see other people from other countries do. Are those countries perfect? No. Are their citizens satisfied with their leaders? No. Their jibes aren't like ours. Then when all these South Africans, Ghanaians, Kenyans and now the Namibians who equally have a lot going on their countries come here to read our derogatory comments about our own country and decide to get back at us, we complain. We need to learn how to talk even when we have a lot to say. It is wisdom.

People like you are liars. So you don't know that embassies in Lagos are always filled people who are desperate to escape the hell APC made ? Are there no visa scammers all over the place over there . Go to other African country embassies, you would be surprised how organized and empty they are . Clean and secured from scammers trying their luck on desperate travellers. In Lagos?

Mullermuller:
People thinks you're beating around the bush ..
With due respect can you go straight to the point ??
No offense

Trump is embarrassing this so called army by dropping bombs and now sending his army here to save us. Why didn't he try that nonsense when there were problems in Egypt? Why didn't he send army to protect the whites on South African soil against the wishes of Ramafosa?

Mariangeles:
Ontop which light? 😳


Xxxxxxx

We go borrow from Benin Republic

Knocking them out on Projections? How about electricity, standards of living, healthcare ,education, sporting facilities, median salaries and wealth by avarage citizens. How about road networks, welfare packages ,pipe bourn water etc.
Rubbish. We want to win them in what makes them not japa not this fairytale win

How about the army and police that keep the country more secure to not only make us the residents feel comfortable and not willing to Japa anyhow but also attract foreign residents to buy holiday houses and invest money here? Are we going to war with anyone? We failed to stop Trump from dropping bombs on our soil,what are all these show offs of strength for. Hungry Tinubu followers?

What a joke. No electricity for the populace but we will be producing electric vehicles ? When we buy them ,where will we charge them?. Or are we going to export to much more serious African countries that have more stable power ?

Apc and it's weird priorities . Why not have these Koreans invest in more power generation and distribution first before this. Or you want us to be excited because this is " Africa's first" ? How should that impress us when we know it will fail and embarrass us. Other Africans have such major projects ,they don't fail because they plan properly and for longterm . We are all about chasing glory and easy clout. APC followers are something else

Ihaveleftnaija:
First dominate Igboland, then Southern Nigeria, then you can finally think of even running Nigeria. Some of you guys bring this ridicule upon Nigeria and then blame government ineptitude when other Africans come for you.

We can barely run Nigeria, and Ecowas but you think we can run Africa . There are African countries running their countries and regions better than we ,but they aren't making all these silly declarations, bringing ridicule upon themselves. And what exactly are we dominating in those countries? What are we dominating abroad? You think surviving in a system you don't run or fully participate in as a stakeholder is dominance ?

Fear fear boy don drop long epistle disguise as comment . Look here. If an Igbo man ran Nigeria, you'd never see any African country deporting or treating Nigerians badly because we would deal with them mercilessly for daring us. But now cowards run Nigeria every Tom and dick think we are mates. Somalia will come and disrepair you people next because you have turned this country to a joke .

Ihaveleftnaija:
When will we ever stop this victim mentality 😔. Nigerians will go and start trouble with other African countries and when it backfires we start wailing and reminding them of what we did for them . How pathetic is this . Go back to where that bashing started from ,you'll see that it was Nigerians who started belittling those Namibians and they came for Nigeria, so why act like we were attacked for doing nothing ? I have never seen a banter between an African country and Nigeria that wasn't started by Nigerians. You want them to sit back and watch us insult their countries?.Most Africans would rather avoid banters with us because we have enough numbers to Bury them ,but these days,they don't seem to care about our numbers as they have enough ammunition on us ,thanks to us washing our dirty laundry in public. We are not victims ,we are bullies who hate being bullied or people that fight back. I'm sure right now ,Namibia is on the list of Africans we hate ( who have fought back) .

Shut up your mouth. Who are all these Africans to even talk back at Nigerians if APC didn't destroy Nigeria. Nigerians should throw anything at them and they should not dare contend with us if not these rubbish leaders. Imagine little Namibia rubbing shoulders with us when they should be our cleaners. No African country should be our mate if not for useless leaders . Look at how Igbos dominate everything in those countries and how we dominate in the abroad. If we had a working country, we would run Africa by remote control. Nonsense

Sensitivity:
Let your leaders build it then.

How about your leaders call them to order, do they have balls to try it?

People still care about the nonsense this government has brought upon us ?

thesicilian:
Commendable partnership, but the amount of yellow is so much it can cause headaches and dizziness. Plus it wouldn't kill them to add free WiFi in the park

Exactly. Look at how fine their stations and parks are in their home country. Not all this overdone nonsense they give us. They build class back home,and bring low standard here but we will give them more money . And they Also provide wifi for free over there but for here ,? Nigeria leaders are evil

Lagos? . And I stopped taking your list serious

Tinubu needs to do better in feeding his hungry supporters and do even better in his looks. The man looks like something you use to scare kids with . I'm even scared looking at this ghost-like creature

Show him the open gutters ,beggers and market women. What else is there to show from the common man apart from the super rich places that don't even have parks or centers of entertainment besides bars 🤔

What will will be sending to them, terrorists ? . They will just use us ad dumping ground like all the others and call it trade

Mostly South West and the North.

Shameless people. Provide jobs ,security and trust and you will see how Nigeria will dominate Africa. None of these countries will be able to even dare chase our people away from their countries because we will be able to show dem pepper.

But no, the Lagos builder is busy globe trotting looking like a wizard or ghost

Respecting his host?

hotwax:
Which black man has fixed his country ?

US visa is there life achievement.

What is wrong with trumps country?

Leftists rioting?

There are plenty of countries in Africa that are doing OK and improving. There are African countries that hardly apply for USA visa unless necessary. Do you know that South Africa and Kenya have more American citizens than USA has theirs ?

Homeless people
Gun violence
Rising unemployment
Racism
Homeless and depressed veterans
No free healtcare etc

simeonabio:
Another paid Tinubu apologist's post, who rejoices in seeing Nigerians suffer, and then bring along comparisons that is not tenable within Nigeria context.

These Tinubu slaves are shameless and have no heart . They want to compare other countries where leaders work for their people with the embezzlers and criminals we have here . Is the system even the same with ours

Looks cheap. Let MTN show us the one they did in their own South Africa. They always build nice and world class things over there but in Nigeria they give us low standard because our leaders don't know how to deal with them

hotwax:
Black man who can't fix his country is fixated on America. Werey plenty for this planet.

Trump is going to jail. On what offense? For putting his conservative agenda first.

He promised all these to his voters base and he got the vote.

So u cras want his to ignore his voters and start being Mr nice man.

The world does not need a nice man.

How can you be nice when you have ayatollah, putin, Kim Jong wo, China Xi?

So you want kamala to go deal with those monsters?

Una no well I swear

Which black man cannot fix his country. And has Trump fixed America ?

lionshare:
No jobs means no income, which means no taxes. You know that, right?

What of quality jobs that put you in a position to pay tax ? You think in other African countries that work ,they tax everyone with income?

Ihaveleftnaija:
Nobody is saying unemployed or poor Nigerians should pay income tax.

Even in South Africa, the poor don’t pay income tax — they receive grants.

But they still pay indirect taxes (VAT, fuel levy) like everyone else.

The real issue in Nigeria is that politicians, big businesses, and the wealthy evade tax, not that the poor are being squeezed.

South Africa can fund welfare because its middle class and rich actually pay tax. Nigeria can’t because ours don’t.

“South Africa gives people nice things without tax” is simply false.

Those grants come from taxpayers, not magic.

Over half of South Africa’s budget is funded by a their middle class and high-income earners and corporations.

Nigeria has the opposite problem: the rich avoid tax while the poor are blamed.

Make your Tinubu master provide jobs and good pay like Morroco and South Africa and see us surpass them in development and progress using tax. But no. Your master wants to tax people that are not even paid well. Nonsense.

You think you have a good argument here but you are embarrassing yourself by promoting slavery on your people for the stipend you recieve.

Ihaveleftnaija:
Nobody said Nigeria currently has good services. That’s not the argument.

The argument is simple: you can’t measure quality of life without funding it first.

South Africa and Morocco didn’t wake up with good roads and healthcare — they built them over decades using tax and then citizens forced accountability.

In Nigeria, we skipped the tax part and went straight to outrage. That’s why the state is broke and captured by elites.

Welfare, roads, healthcare all cost money. There’s no alternative model.

So you expect poor people with no jobs to pay tax? . Tax what without giving us good environment to thrive and then be able to pay the tax? You people are promoting rubbish for 30 000? That shows how low you value yourself and family . Do poor people pay tax for South Africa? But their government give them nice things without tax,why us Naija not doing it ?

Ipisi:
SOme people above me especially the first two comments are talking in the nonsense,
They are probably Gen-Z's that knows nothing about Xenophobic Malema or World Politics.

If you hate Trump , go and drink poison ooo

You're the joke here . Malema and xenophobia in the same sentence. This topic is clearly way over your head . Go to the romance and celebrity section where people like you belong
