The 2009 Index’s failed states (Alert! category) are (from order of failure): Somalia, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Guinea, Pakistan, Cote d’Ivoire, Haiti, Myanmar, Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, North Korea, Yemen, Bangladesh, East Timor, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Niger, Burundi, Nepal, Cameroon, Guinea-Bissau, Malawi, Lebanon, Republic of the Congo, Uzbekistan, Sierra Leone, Georgia, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Eritrea, Tajikistan and Iran.

For me as an individual my attention to this word "Failed State" started when i heard a reporter on CNN refer to Yemen as a failed state shortly after the Delta airline bomb attempt on Dec. 25. Now Nigeria is gradually being refered to as a failed state. Goodness !
Honestly,It doesn't get any worse than this.

Nigeria is not a fail state and it is wrong to categorize Nigeria among the top states. Most of these states have rebel groups that are either fighting to secceed from the country or trying to tople the government. In Nigeria we have non of these.

Infact to prove the whole world how wrongly they percieve Nigerians, is the current state of our nation. Our President is missing, but still we are an entity. No fighting, no coupe, nothing.

Probably Nigeria is the only country that can function on auto pilot.

If Yar'adua did not appear within the next 2 weeks, I bet the FEC and the NASS will do something. They will not allow us to crash. We are not going to crash land. We will get a new pilot soon who will pick up speed. It is just the Nigerian way of doing things. Dithering and procrastinating. Scheming and lobbying. Respect and differing. The pressure is mounting

President missing like a needle in a hay sack.
A simple promise of 6Gig watts of power could not even be fulfilled.
Yet some lawbreakers and legislatheives are clamoring for immunity.
They deemed it fit that some rich bad backside ex-leaders pay check should rise by 10000% at a time people are losing jobs.
Our number one priority is a befitting 7billion Naira building of VICE president
Awarding 250Million contract to exterminate termites in Aso rock.

In fact i have stopped blaming these people. I only blame my parents.


I didn't even see Ghana on the list
Ghana-Giant of Africa
Nigeria--giANT of Africa.
God bless America.

N.I.Gboi:

Kobojunkie:

aaaa!! Now I see this is probably another one of the many IDs of our in-house morons. My Bad!! Ignore my attempt to reason with you on the other thread ooo!! Na my fault!! 

N.I.Gboi:

Niigeria is not a failed state. how many wars are been fought on our soil? those nigerians that are saying nigeria is a failed state are actually doing what the western world really wants us to do. give up hope so they can come in and take what they want. look at all these countries called failed states, they western world played a role in turning them into what they are.
