Is it everything we celebrate in this country? Kai nawa for this our mentality oo. One day unA go still celebrate the first person to throway shiiit comot from inside aeroplane.

Some set of people in Nigeria have low self-esteem, if people can choose to celebrate something as pedestrian as this, it just goes to show that we are a country that swims in Mediocrity .

This is just ordinary speech! you guys should have outgrown this .

gambia:
All animals are not equal, if you know you know.

Okoroawusa:
There are two Nigerians I wish I could damn the consequences and lived like them-----Charly Boy n Fela Anikulapo-kuti.


Sometimes it's boring to be conventional, to be normal, to do things because the society expects them of you. Only very few people ever have the courage to go against the societal status quo.


Happy birthday Charly Boy

I like this

amuwo1980:
As the oil money finishes you will see more of this, over the years this talented ppl have attuned themselves to the easy life , looting the national coffers thru the 70s till now, the most promising career among the Yorubas today is ritual killing closely followed by online scamming. Now they are after the same land they sold, without Nigeria as presently constituted the afonjas will disappear.

What of investors obi or those in various prisons in Asia for drug related crime ? I hope you guys outgrown this tribal shit someday

They are up against the west not just UK

One Nigeria is a failed project, it's high time we dissolve this country amicably

ModestGal:
It still amazes me how the lady would marry such an old man. Its unnatural for a young lady to fall in love with an old man with wives already

I guess its because the man is rich, well, she has inspired me to hustle till I become a billionaire.
Just to show stupid girls that you don't need to marry someone because of money, because you can also make such money yourself.

I belong to the billionaire squad, this would be my speech when asked how I became a billionaire.

So annoying that girls would do that shit because of money

To the ladies...
1. You don't need to wish marrying a president, you can also be a president
2. You don't need wishing to date a celebrity like davido, you can become richer and more popular
3. You don't need to wish dating Otedola, you can be richer
4. You don't need wishing to marry a doc, you can be better
Infact, its ridiculing wishing to be with someone and worshiping them because of money when nature has given everyone the chance to be one.

Parents...
Teach your children financial literacy
Teach your sisters financial independence


Let us lift each other up from poverty and poverty mindset, 70% of Nigerians are not just poor but live with a poverty mindset.

Too much sense dey worry this girl

Is there any group in South west pushing for Yoruba nationhood?

Is there any group in South west pushing for Yoruba nationhood?

edoairways:
OAU can't match UG at all. UG is ahead

Not just UG, if OAU buildings and other facilities are well maintained, it is still one of the best university on the continent

peeps4u:
Most of you joining the bandwagon. If the first few posters had rubbished this university, many of you would do same.

These are mostly drone pictures and what I see can't even stand with OAU in comparison. Oau beats this school in buildings. The environment and flowers aren't even as beautiful as OAU.

You get it man, they always do that on Nairaland

Swiss American AFDB vice president! chai, Africa don suffer

Let all black women around the globe shave their artificial hair as a sign of the end to white supremacy

Bangladesh! chai

DEADALIVE:
The only country full of online brave men but physically useless....
A single man died in the USA after committing crime but no one looks at the crime but the inhumane brutality given to him by an agency representing the government sparked a revolution all over the world for a common change....Now this is called civilization.
But my country Nigeria we are civilised in the reversed order....

This is the comment i have been looking for, one gold chain for you man

MERCHANDISER:
Western media has made everything non_western evil.
We
need to sit down and look at it logically.
Nigeria has been struggling to fight BH for decade, US
has
never shown any genuine support, infact, at a time they're
were technically supporting BH by blocking every
opportunity
to access weapons. Whereas, the same US has been
building sophisticated millitary bases all over Africa with
several billions of dollars even all over islands in Africa.
In a
continent struggling to provide as basic thing as clean
water,
road, edu, etc. In term of infrastructural development, US
hasnt built anything tangible anywhere in Africa despite
her
big economy and influence.
On the other hand, China is building projects across
Africa
from electricity to train to Airport, roads, scholarships to
Africans, etc even with their own money. Let's say we
can't
pay and they take over them, who would still be using
those
infrastructure, Chinese? At least they brought them here,
so
if we can't pay back and they take over them these things
would still be in use by Africans and improve quality of
life,
just like every private business.
US/Trump that everyone is supporting call Africans all
kinds
to unprintable names, visa ban, reporting weak sides of
African nations and continuously ridiculing everything we
do.
The list is long. China hasnt done any of these yet,
western
media still find their ways into the hearts of Africans to
hate
Chinese. Sadly, enough some fake pastors joined this
brainwashed citizens.
Look at China, how many times have they tumbled
African
govt? How many nations have China invaded in Africa?
How
many times has Chinese embassy criticize our local
affairs?
Etc
New York started have underground train in 1809, that's
200yrs, they never extended such to Africa. China started
booming just 20yrs ago and they've extended everything
technology they have to us, that have improved our lives;
From phones, train, Good Airport, Naval ship, Telecom,
Roads, scholarships, etc
Africans must sitdown and think. China is not your
enemy.

Good image laundering for China

What are Nigerians doing in India? India of all country! chai

Gerrard59:
This na long grammar. The best way to fight racists is by being rich. The Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Malaysians, Singaporeans etc. did it. I don't know why this notion is difficult for black people to understand. By being rich (the dominant black environment - Africa), no one will disrespect a black person anywhere in the world.

https://www.nairaland.com/5886610/racism-against-blacks-reduce-drastically

This has always been my proferred lasting solution to the issue of racism. Unfortunately, African countries suffers from weak and bad leadership

Gerrard59:
Recently, three incidents which had black people as their victims have occurred in the US and the news with the aid of technology and social media has reverberated across the world. Solidarity marches, rallies, protests, tweets and posts have been done in support of these individuals. One of the perpetrators even lost her job at a financial firm. Well, people term it racism which is a form of discrimination and these acts are condemnable. However, they are not new and neither would they reduce drastically if the black race remains poor. Yes, the premise of my argument is that black people are being racially discriminated across the world (Brazil, Libya, UAE, Germany, China etc.) because we are poor.


Discrimination is a human nature and people do this daily knowingly or unknowingly and one thing which characterises these acts are because those discriminated are thought of people who offer less value (i.e. don’t contribute as others). This nature of racial discrimination did not start today but it can be challenged only if those discriminated offer more value (i.e. contribute more than others) to the society. Today, it is blacks who are being discriminated however; the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Malaysians, Indians etc. have been discriminated for many years. Those days, Europeans saw Japanese as yellow monkeys but today the EU was elated when she signed a trade agreement with Japan. Trade deals aren’t signed with poor people. Today, the EU – leaders, business community, residents etc. – can never utter such towards the Japanese even if they don’t like the Japanese. What does this mean? When a race is rich, no one disrespects a member of that race anywhere in the world. To buttress this further, I mean, no one disrespects a rich person. This is explained below:


In the early to mid-20th century, the Japanese were mocked endlessly in the United States by all and sundry. To an extent this continued that it almost became criminal to be Japanese in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Japanese_sentiment. However, the fortunes of the Japanese have increased spontaneously and no one dares to do same. Japan has the strongest passport – they can travel to over 180 countries visa free. Visa free statuses aren’t given to poor people. Check the strongest passports, they have one thing in common – those countries have strong GDPs, GDPs per capita and because they are rich, they are most likely to return to their home countries. Even if they don’t return, they don’t constitute a nuisance in the visiting country because they are rich.




The same for the Japanese applies to South Koreans, they were discriminated and insulted but no one does same today because they are rich.
Most recent example of this is the Chinese. Prior to their wealth, Mainland Chinese were one of the poorest people globally. Even though their cousins in Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau and Malaysia were doing well economically, Chinese esp the Han Chinese (the majority ethnic group in Mainland China) were poor, as in, very poor. They were despised, mocked, insulted and had discriminatory statements thrown against them. However, as they are rich, no one dares insult China or a group of Chinese anywhere solely because they are rich. Cathay Pacific Airlines’ CEO and Chairman resigned when the Mainland government criticised the company for having let two of her pilots to participate in Pro-Hong Kong protests. Meanwhile, before both men stepped down, those pilots were sacked. This is because China is the company’s biggest market and no company dares to go against what the customer personally supports or likes. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/16/cathay-pacific-airways-ceo-hogg-resigns-board-notes-hong-kong-protests.html What about the incident between the luxury fashion company D&G and China? The company was accused of insulting Chinese culture and they retaliated by not buying her products anymore and even forced the closure of her stores in China. Chinese travellers went on social media vowing to stop visiting her stores in Milan and elsewhere in Europe. What did D&G founders do? They apologised and even spoke Chinese Mandarin during their apology https://www.scmp.com/comment/letters/article/2175377/chinese-send-clear-message-dg-insult-our-culture-pay-price This should not be surprising after all Chinese constitute half of the world’s luxury shoppers. HALF! Not 20% or 45% but 50%. What this means is: you have two pairs each of Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Rolex, Patek Phillip and Gucci goods; a Chinese buys half of them. There is no way you would disrespects such a person even if you hate the person, you will accord respect to the individual https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/china/how-young-chinese-consumers-are-reshaping-global-luxury. What about in higher education? The Chinese are one of the few nationalities who pay cash as school fees in the UK, US, New Zealand, Canada, Australia etc. and through this the higher education industry stays afloat effortlessly in those countries. It takes a rich person to fork out 30K euros, Aussie/Canadian dollars, US dollars and pounds consistently as fees and any sort of maltreatment towards these people is met with outright withdrawal. The Australians are currently facing this problem as the government in Canberra accuses Beijing of fermenting troubles in their universities. Beijing retaliates by telling students not to go to Australia again for studies.


Meanwhile, the HE industry chiefs are pleading with Canberra to be very diplomatic because the HE industry is a top four export for Australia. These would not happen if China was not rich because with wealth comes power. They don’t go about hustling scholarships like we do, they pay cash and move into classes in some of the best universities not we that plead for IELTS waiver (even rich Singaporeans write the exam) or demand that GRE should be outlawed. Heck, they even have a prestigious scholarship by a billionaire to study in one of her best universities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzman_Scholars How many foreign billionaires have instituted a scholarship program for foreigners and even Africans to study in any African university? The Covid-19 pandemic has negatively affected everyone’s lives across the globe and this virus which originated from China has also affected black people beyond just being sick or dead. In China, blacks were maltreated by officials yet Chinese were not accorded the same disrespect in Italy. Why? The Italians know the enormous value the Chinese contribute to their society and the repercussions which would follow should they maltreat them for introducing the virus into Italy. Does this mean blacks in China don’t contribute to Chinese society? No, but at the same value as the Chinese do in Italy? No. China has invested in Italy more than any black dominated country has done in China. Heck, the Chinese own a historic Italian brand as Pirelli https://www.reuters.com/article/us-pirelli-ipo/chemchina-gave-up-pirelli-control-to-show-its-market-friendly-face-pirelli-ceo-idUSKCN1BT0YB
