₦airaland Forum

strangleyo:
I'm glad someone brought this up. I've been wondering if anyone on Nairaland even thought deeply at the state of not just Africa, but EVERY Black Country in the world.

First I'd like to start off with the small yet very familiar analogy of the Iceland scenario. White people used to joke around with this but in reality it’s a painful truth. It goes something like this:

Example 1. Imagine that everyone from Iceland and everyone on the Island of Haiti traded places. Haiti would be turned into a tropical paradise within a decade, while the blacks in Iceland would freeze to death. It seemed like a sad joke at the time, but looking at South Africa, I am beginning to feel more hopelessness at the state of the "black" mindset and situation.

Example 2. If in North America there was some kind of imaginary hypothetical rapture where all the people in the country disappeared, EVERYONE but blacks. Mexicans, Whites, Asians, Indians, etc, all, gone, just black Americans and African Americans left. Power, water, sanitation, basic services such as garbage collection, let alone taxation and the maintenance military equipment. Sad joke?

I thought it was until the power outages in South Africa that began last summer. The country is HAVING POWER OUTAGES!!!!! It’s starting. The sad decline towards it becoming another sub Saharan African country.

If South Africa turns into another pitch black at night African country I believe we may have no-one to vouch for us next time someone decides to invade our homelands.

I am not sure I said you were attacking me and by the way, I am waiting for the posts I requested you submit so we can analyze it once and for all. Once again, when you do not understand a person’s response, feel free to ask questions first, before thinking to attack. One thing at a time. You provide those responses, we analyze then we go from there.

Once again, if you think Nigeria is not worth it for you, then why attack me?

Why am I attacking you? Well. Do you think I'm attacking you?

If Nigeria is worth living in for you does not mean it should be for all, and it in no way means that those who do not think it is worth living in are evil and you good. Please let’s stop analyzing issues as if we were idiots. A proverb says “ One man’s meat is another man’s poison”, only a fool will think that only those who do things exactly as he does ‘em should be considered sane and good. If you disagree, you only need to take a look at the terrorists who go around killing those who do not believe as they do and act as they do. Why? they are convinced they are better and everyone else is scum. Remind you of someone?

Kobojunkie:
The sky is blue but 10000 idiots decided it was red. What color is the sky? I ask you this because you are telling me of what outsiders think like that should somehow deter me from speaking the truth about  the situation in Nigeria.Which particular post(s) are you referring to. Show me one and we can analyze it together, word by word and sentence by sentence so you can help me understand how criticizing apparent ills committed in that nation to date puts down the nation and the so called patriots.

Once again, if you think Nigeria is not worth it for you, then why attack me?

Kobojunkie:
I urge you as a sane human being to stop putting people who do not express themselves as you would prefer they do as being the EVIL ONES and maybe you will start to see things as they really are. NOT A SINGLE TIME ON HERE OR IN MY LIFE have I stated that NIGERIA is dead but I have had many more people with the mindset with you judge me tell me such nonsense of my self.

PLEASE NIGERIANS ARE NOT MIND READERS. YOU PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THAT POWER. INFACT, YOU ALL SUCK AT IT. That is what is on my mind when dealing with DISSENTERS LIKE YOU who are unable to separate CRITISM from EXPRESSION OF HATE. TWO different things. Please, tell those of your mind that you know that they ought to start thinking like ADULTS and not going around labelling others when they lack understanding of what is being said. It is rude and speaks ill of the fate of that country. I read posts from people who claim to have the Staff of patriotism on their side, and I can not help but wonder if Nigeria is ready for change with people such as you around to continue making excuses and attacking those who criticize Nigeria.

Kobojunkie:
hey, If  YOU hate the country, that is your business and your headache, not mine. From what I have read on here so far, people are expressing their frustration at the lack of push in the right direction that continues to exist in the country. Hating the country is a completely different issue. Please let us try to at least understand that little fact.

Kobojunkie:
Notice how you want to go on my personal issue instead of focusing proving you have an understanding of the question asked. You have so far been feeding us the “I love Nigeria more than you do” rant which to this point shows you have little idea of what is being asked you but are too quick to make sure to use this opportunity to promote yourself as another person who can claim to be a member of the I-AM-MORE-PATRIOTIC-THAN-THOU  brigade. I am sorry, answer the questions or accept you have not provided any meaningful response whatsoever in this case.

You claim you answered the questions in your previous post but reading that, any intelligent person will see that you yet again brushed the questions to the side so you could push your I-AM-MORE-PATRIOTIC-THAN-THOU  slogan as you almost immediately jumped to crucifying my person to make me seem the problem in this case, instead of focusing on the real problems which the thread is about.

Lets discard the cheap sentiments we throw around in the name of patriotism,

what is it in this country that makes it worth living in??

Is it the light??

Or is it water??

Or security??

Is it road??

Is is telecomunication??

Is it education??

Is it tourism??

Is it transportation??

Is it our ecomomy??

Is it technology??

Is it our industries??

Is it sanitation??

Is it our government??

Is it commerce??

Is it what??

@poster

No they don't. I have numerous Gambian friends and when I was in Jos, I had numerous Gambian classmates and they do not sound Nigerian. Even if they do, that guy claiming to be Gambian is almost certainly Nigerian (or was raised or has lived in Nigeria for an extended period).

@Sisi Jinx, some people are looking for you in the literature section.
