I see. Interesting. But whose fault is it that Nigeria does not look like Wakanda?
Two things..

1. Nigerians choosing poor leaders..

2. Then the poor quality of leaders in Nigeria historically..

I was against Buhari from day 1, a former despot should never be made president I explained. I was shouted down by my fellow countrymen..

Little did I know that in addition to his authoritarian tendencies, he would so abysmal at the basics of office..

The rest is now history as Nigeria teeters on the brink of disintegration

Uncleodi:
You are right
I have been fortunate enough to travel, once economies reach a certain level of development. About $10,000 - $15,000 USD per capita people are content and happy.

Malaysia is a great example, it isn't fabulously wealthy, but most Malays are content.

It doesn't take much, Just good infrastructure like consistent electricity, clean water and gas supplies will do most of the work. Good Roads, Ok Railways and Good airports would finish the job.

People will do the rest..

That's why I don't understand our leaders, this is all they have to do..

The extras like good schools and universities are hard to do, but I am sure the Nigerian population would manage this.

codemaniacs:
its about the naira strength.. even if Nigeria was developed but its currency was rubbish, people will still leave.

wakanda is a fictional thing so stop using it as example, some parts of Nigeria are as developed as some developed countries.
Wakanda was just an example and a good example at that.

Weak currency is irrelevant. If Nigeria was very developed with good infrastructure, no one would think about leaving.. Look at middle eastern countries, they have oil dependent economies which don't always have the best job availability or currencies. But their people aren't leaving those countries except to go on holiday.

It's sad that the western world gives medical aids to Africa yet "takes" their medical personnel. Who's to blame? The Europeans and Americans that employ skilled people (who willingly applied) to serve their countries or the doctors that leave their home countries after getting trained by their local institutions in search of greener pastures?
We should make a better environment back here, so make sure the Doctors want to stay..

If Nigeria looked like Wakanda, do you think anyone would want to leave?? smiley

SapphireBlue:
Keep rising to your feet and being a man.
DON'T LOOK OUT FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH.
one day ,you will jump off that bridge for real and your family and children will move on with their lives.

What the hell is WRONG with nigerians?
Since when is the issue of mental health a gender based one?
My brother , continue to be the man that you are and don't admit that you are liable to making mistakes, maybe you are going to understand better from your GRAVE.
Look I understand what you are saying. In the west they have therapy, here in Naija we often dont.

So one must have alternatives.

1. Religion if done correctly is like meditation and eases the mind.

2. Have a close friend (WHO YOU CAN TRUST) who can be your psychologist. I have a friend who I talk to about my issues and he offers good opinions. I sometimes do the same for him and I would never betray his trust. I trust that man with my life and he trusts me with his. These chats help improve my mental state.

Ultimately it doesnt change the fact that a man will never have someone to look after him when he comes of age.

As for gender, yes there is a difference. In a traditional relationship what typically happens? The man goes out to work for his family and the wife attends to the household. It is the woman who is looked after not the man. Even if the woman brings in income, the expectations are on the man to bring in the majority of family income. This is a pattern repeated across the world.

A wife can rest at home if she depressed and her husband will attend to things. A woman would never do the same for a man or if she does not indefinitely anyway.

Last example a young babe knows that eventually a man will court her and want to marry her. He almost always says 'I will look after you'. No woman will ever say those words to man in that context.. So men are under more pressure to survive (mental health or not)

Either you find a way to function or perish..

We are all different human beings and react differently.
The fact that you did not resort to depression does not mean that every other person is strong enough not to.
What you should be doing is empathizing.
Life is hard enough as it is.
Thank you.
You sound like a woman..

In fact it was my mother who first understood I suffered from Depression at young age, she told me to fight it.

I would scream and cry on the way to school. She would slap me, telling that me as a man who is meant to lead his family there is no time for such nonsense.

Was she wrong in her approach? A little bit, but that lovely woman wasnt lying.

She was right time waits for no man.

The babes dont care if you are feeling down, they will happily bleep someone else if you are down or cant bring home the money.

Your competitors wont take it easy on you because you are depressed.

If you work for someone else your boss wont say pele take a day of.

We are Naija, in simple terms a day is 1 (I ate) or 0 (I did not eat).. That is the harsh reality of life for a man.

I feel for him, somedays I open my eyes and the world looks grey and I want to jump off the highest bridge for days at a time.

But as a man I must rise to my feet and provide for my family and children. As my fore fathers have done..

PoliticsRe: Another Monopoly: Dangote's Troubling Petroleum Industry Bill Proposal by nograv: 12:24pm On Mar 04, 2021
This is Nigeria's problem in a nutshell..

Thieves masquerading as captains of industry. I remember when a wealthy uncle of mine said few wealthy individuals in Nigeria could be classified as true businessmen or woman in the global understanding of the word.

Dangote is a two bit hustler who relies on government patrons to help him succeed. Very little of what he does can be classified as true business.

He isnt alone in this, there are other Billionaires who operate like this. Carlos Slim of Mexico is another, where Mexico has the highest internet/telco and power prices in the world due his activities.

The average street tout or agbero would also be a billionaire, if they had Dangote's advantages.. Its not a lie..

Whether IPOB likes it or not, we the Yoruba's will continue our political alignment with the Fulani people, IPOB cannot create a division between us and our Fulani brothers in the North with fake news of killer herdsmen who are mostly sponsored by Nnamdi Kanu to target Yoruba s. Come 2023, we the Yorubas must enter in to a stronger political alignment with the North to hurt IPOB even the more.
Speak for yourself and no other Yoruba mumu...

After Sunday Igboho actually having to stand up for Yoruba against herdsmen while our politicians just stood there, I changed my mind on such things...

Everything is IPOB to these zombies..

When you see someone attacking a specific group or someone providing information so consistently, you know there my be a kernel of truth in what they are saying.

I don't care for Biafra, but I do think there is merit in their argument that the government is largely dominated by northerners and run for northerners.

How else do you explain Nigerian Yoruba fleeing to neighbouring Yoruba communities in another nation??

The truth is, Southern Governors are all Fulani slaves. We shouldn't expect anything from them if you want to move Southern Nigeria to a greater height.
I agree, the behaviour of the current crop of southern leaders betrays them.

They are weak and come 2023 they should be replaced by leaders who have the best of intentions towards their people and the greater Southern Nigeria region.

Those soldiers did so well to run from their duty post , as this zoo is not worth dying for.


But in a second thought, it will be so shameful if this same soldiers should flex their muscles on unharmed civilians or IPOB.

If you wanna be president, play Politics

Igbo people need to be strategic, instead of the threat, build a political relationship with the major and minority tribes which you think will benefit you.
Nonsense, for years I heard my family in Lagos boast how Yoruba played Politics better than igbos and look where it got us..

Look at the massacres in Ogun and elsewhere in the South West.
