Nobama such a 2 faced son of a b***h

Dear President Obama,

This letter is a passionate appeal to your administration to rethink the much touted support the US is perceived to be giving General Ibrahim Babangida as a preferred replacement for Musa Yar’adua (in coma) as Nigeria’s next President in 2011. I feel justified to write you because you represented the new face of world leadership to me in 2009 such that I did the only thing I could to help you win Virginia; I stomped for your campaign since I could not vote nor donate money as I am not a US citizen.

It would be naive to imagine that the US’s interest in Africa’s most populous nation is purely altruistic and since I am not that naive, I would acknowledge that American interests in sub Sahara makes it imperative for the US to pay closer attention to what is going on here. However, irrespective of the intelligence reports you must have received about our nation, a Babangida presidency could prove to have the undesired effect; probably spark off a deeply ingrained conflict that has the potential of turning Nigeria to another political hot spot on the African continent.

Until the recent visit of your envoy to Babangida, the controversial general had nursed this ambition to return to power for years but never had the boldness to give public credence to the rumors until the US envoy came to town. Now, he has suddenly found the temerity to confirm his intention to run for Presidency in 2011. That singular moves is strong confirmation that your administration has decided to back him as a veritable candidate.

To catalogue why Nigerians, especially the youth are vehemently opposed to his return would be an exercise in tautology. His sins are too numerous to recount in this discourse but suffice to say that the General excelled at earning for himself the unrivaled honour of being perceived as the Father of Unbridled and Institutionalized Corruption. For the US to therefore pursue a foreign policy in Nigeria with General Babangida as the central figure sends the signal that your administration is double faced about reigning in corruption in Africa.

Frankly, Mr President, Nigerians are done with the crop of leadership that brought us to this pitiable point as a nation and General Babangida held the reigns for 8 years of the 50 we have endured. The same reason that the world rooted and Americans defied every odd to vote for you is the same reason why Nigerians have rejected IBB and his ilk, Hope and Change. If you truly believed in your campaign then one expects that you would seek the same for every nation as those values you passionately preached are universal to mankind. If you seek hope and change for Nigeria like you did for America, you may be backing the wrong horse here Mr. President.

IBB represents everything you do not: Despair, Tired Hands, Status quo, Establishment, Dictatorship, Corruption, Lack of Vision, Lack of Integrity and Accountability, Unfairness, Same old, same old as you Americans would say. This election is crucial to the future of Nigeria; it is our turning point to position us for the 21st century. We need young, vibrant and visionary leadership just like what you provide for your nation. Please do not sentence us to another decade of frustrating leadership. Nigeria may not survive it.
Contrary to the intrigues and falsehoods they may have fed you about how some people are the only ones to solve Nigeria’s political problems, the threats of terrorism your country fears against American interests can only be solved with visionary and focused leadership. Nigerian youths are restive because no administration had planned for their future. If we get the right leadership, Nigeria will work. Lagos is a classic example Mr. President. Our ethnic and religious problems naturally take back seat when there is purpose and prosperity. Nigerians are world renowned for their zest for life and success as can be attested to by the great exploits of Nigerian professionals in Diaspora as well as the unfortunate prowess of the scammers in internet fraud.

Mr President, Any postulation about whether the North retaining its quota for presidency is all political balderdash and has little relevance to the aspirations of most Nigerians. In fact, we have no constitutional backing for this funny equation. PDP is the architect and builder of that rotten structure and any attempt to help establish it is a direct violation of our already flawed constitution. As a celebrated constitutional law professor sir, you definitely would not want to be seen as violating one, no matter how flawed it might be.

If your foreign policy pundits bothered to find out, the Nigerian electorate is more favourably disposed to fresh hands. A nod in Gov Donald Duke, Babatunde Fashola or even Dr Pat Utomi, El Rufai or Nuhu Ribadu would get the electoral system buzzing with excitement in no time. That would rekindle the fire of nationalism in the young like you did their American counterparts in 2009.However, if you keep up with this IBB plan, Mr President, you might only help in nailing the coffin of credible and representative democracy as most Nigerians would not bother to participate.

Supporting an IBB presidency in 2011 could end up being your eternal error of judgment because you could be creating a Frankenstein which might be beneficial for the US in the short term but become a festering sore few years down the line like the US support of Osama Bin Laden against the Russians during the cold war gave birth to the terrorism albatross hanging over the US presently. Trust me, Mr President, there are some issues that cannot be explained here which could turn this decision on its head. The best move now is a volte farce before it becomes a global embarrassment which the US can ill afford at this time.

We would prefer that Nigerians be left alone to evolve our peculiar leadership without interference from the outside world but since we do need your big brotherly oversight function, your informed decision would serve us best and an IBB Presidency is definitely not very informed.

In conclusion President Obama, your decision on Nigerian election in 2011 must hit the bull’s eye especially because you are a black President. You cannot afford to be credited with the support that helped to keep Nigeria bound to corrupt leadership and bad governance. General IBB and his contemporaries are not good for the Nigeria of the 21st century.

We want to break this cycle of corruption and bad governance. We believe we can with visionary leadership. Give over 140 million Nigerians at home and another 30million in the Diaspora a reason to shout from the rooftops like the world did in Chicago on the historic night you were elected America’s first black President, “Yes We Did”! President Obama, please say No! to IBB in 2011.

@poster before people on here lead you astray. . . let me quickly give you a very short rundown of what Lagos and video game is like. . . it appears most people who replied to your post grew up in rich homes, so they do not really know what is happening in Lagos. . . seriously, you are doing real good in your business up there . . . i really like the way your shop looks . . . . . now back to business . . . . @alaba and oshodi in Lagos , there are 999,999 ibo boys who can repair, mod, maneuver from a simple water game to a ps3 or xbox 360. . . . they do all kinds of sh1ts with these things. . . they are really good at it brov. . oh yes they[b] [size=13pt]repair[/size][/b] and[b] [size=13pt]mod[/size][/b] games here in Lagos for real . . . and for the video game business too. . . it is way cheaper playing video games here in Lagos than over there in SA, meaning the amount of money you'd make here in Lagos would be lower compared to what you'd make out there in SA daily. . . the video game business is also a target for Nigerian police. . . they keep raiding and shutting down video game centers in Lagos for no reason . . . although this depends on your location. . .and about copying games, they do that sh1t here in Nigeria too and a game doesn't cost that much in alaba, you can get a game for around =N=1000 (an xbox 360 cd) . . .

i think my advice for you would be, keep doing your sh1t out there in SA, you can also expand to other locations in SA, you can also open up shops here in lagos to be manned by some1 you really trust. . . all im saying is DO NOT close down your SA shop for a return to Nigeria, you might regret it . . . .

and talking of getting a used modded xbox 360, i wanna start a video game shop in ghana . . . . How much could you get them for me
you could contact me @ richcassy@yahoo.com

Thanks for the advise,i really appreciate it. I been out of Nigeria for 8 years and i really ,i mean REALLY miss home. I left Nigeria to go and make something of myself and i believe that i have done that.

Missing Nigeria is not my only reason for wanting to leave. SA is not a stable country, one minute it is nice and dandy, the next minute the locals are up in our faces because we are foreigners. I don't want to stress the issue but i am sure you have heard of the xenophobic attacks. There are many locals who have expressed their dissatisfaction with my store because i am a Nigerian. Most of the kids and adults who patronize me are middle class and rich people who love to come and play at my store. Those who have issues with me are usually the poor ones who feel that i am making money from their people with ease.

I don't want to lose all i have worked in one day because of jealous folks who are capable of burning down my shop. That is why i want to establish something back home. I remember what happened to the Nigerians in Libya so I can trust the locals here. At any given time, they can attack foreigners, loot their shops or burn it down. That is the harsh reality about SA and why most Nigerian businessmen here are making plans to go back home and establish something.

Nigeria on the hand is also a harsh environment where a person can fall into a deep pit if proper planning is not adhered to. Electricity here is 24hrs constant so it will a little bit difficult adjusting to generators and diesel fuel again.

Like i mentioned above, I appreciate your word. What you have written here are words of wisdom and I will not take it lightly. I won’t rush into making a decision because I am scared of SA locals. I will take my time to plan right before I go home.

P.S  It pretty easy to set up a Shop in Nigeria to look like mine. It is just that those who have the ideas don’t have the funds and those who have the funds don’t have the idea or prefer to trade quality for quantity.

I can get you used Xbox360 consoles for R1200 = N24000

And games for N900.

I happen to work with hackers here who get games 4 months before they are released worldwide.

For example I have the following games on xbox 360  which are not released yet

Tiger Woods 2011
Dead Space 2
Dead Rising 2
Enslaved
Hawx 2
Transformers: war for cybertron
Morph-x
N3II ninety nine nights
Deathsmiles
Clash of titans
Vanquish

Do have an idea how much it will cost to rent a shop in ikoyi or VI?

osasp:
wow
wow. . .i really am impressed
help is on the way. . i dont live in nigeria but a good idea would be to see if you can do one close to the shoprite shopping complex at sandfield
families go there all the time and its only understandable for parents to want to leave their kids somewhere while they go about their shopping. . .the buzz around there alone should be good enough to boost your hype and word would go around quickly if your store is really high standard because last time i checked no body really goes as far as seeling the CDs and chipping the consoles in the same venue. . .anyway, i cant really say much because i dont know how things have moved on since i left the country but im really sure with the right location, quality setup, the right target market (rich kids) will come flooding in

Thank you VERY much for the input.Your idea is the best i heard so far.I really miss home and want to go back but i want to be careful as well.My Business in SA is booming.I don't want to leave a booming business in SA only to go and get stranded in my own country.Unfortunately my immdiate family members are not tech savvy and they live in the egbeda area,that is why i have resulted to asking NL peeps for help.Your suggestion is very good and i will look into it immediately.If any estate agents on NL can help and give me the rental rates for shops in that area.

I am a 30 year old Nigerian who has been residing in South Africa for a couple of years now. I currently own and run a Video Games Store in the CBD of Johannesburg. My store consist of a Video Game's arcade section, A video game repair section and a sales section. I am a self trained Playstation3, Xbox 360 and Wii technician.

In the video Game's arcade section, customers can come and play their favourite game titles on any of my 10 consoles connected to full 10 HDTVs. We charge them per hour for each game they choose to play. I currently have 5 pS3s and 5 Xbox 360 consoles in the arcade section.


In the Repair section i do the following:

Repair 3 Red light Xbox 360s(RROD)
Repair Xbox 360 E70 errors
Repair Xbox360 blank picture errors
Replace Ps3s faulty lens
Chip / Flash Xbox 360s consoles to play copied games
Chip Nintendo wii to play copied games

In the sales section ,i sell copied Xbox 360 games and copied Wii games.
I also sell video games accessories in this section like battery packs, power adaptors, av cables e.t.c
____________________________________________________________ ___________________

The reason i created this topic is because i will like to relocate back to Nigeria, I have been here in SA for a while and i really miss home. I want to come back home to settle down with my family and establish my business in Lagos. I know how people love video games in Nigeria and i also know how expensive these video games have become.

I feel that i may be able to contribute something positive to the country and the youths if i establish my business there. From what i have gathered so far ,there is no one in Lagos who repairs Xbox 360s ( i may be mistaken but that is what i have heard from my relatives).My business can benefit video game loving Nigerians because here in South Africa i am able to source second hand video game consoles which are in good condition and resell them in Nigeria at reasonable prices. Another plus is my ability to make copied games. The cost of an original Xbox  game range from $60 to $100 but i can make a copy of those games for a mere $5 or less.This will really benefit Nigerians who are struggling to buy one single game.

Like i mentioned above i have been out of the country for a while and i need the professional input of people on the ground in Nigeria. Please advice and tell me if it is wise for me to establish this type of business in Lagos or if i should remain in SA.I have attached somes pictures to give you an idea of what my business is like. I will also like the good people of Nairaland to suggest to me which areas of Lagos my business will thrive in.

P.S How much does your PS3 games sell for in Nigeria ? email me at playmodeza@gmail.com

SA Lady:
Shooo Elo that one line question to @playmode was exactly what I was trying to get out of her and its all in your response.

@Playmode tell me do you have SA friends? and what is your level of interaction with SA citizens, I'll tell you something interesting my 9ija friends in SA couldnt believe the content of this thread. They've been staying in SA since they were young came here to school. I also have 9ija friends from diverse backgrounds including the village boys and I know how they roll. LOUD as ever and that's just how we like it. I've got friends married to naija boys and one extended family member married to a 9ija man 15 years ago.
These people are happy here and will not move country for anything. They are well travelled but only to come back in SA where they call home. They couldnt be bothered by xhenophobic stories in that they do not feel threatened. Possibly the reason why you've been here for 5 years and still going right? They hang out in SOWETO with the locals and party a storm in SOWETO on their own. During the world cup their cars had 9ija and SA flags and couldnt be bothered. Oh! need I mention that the village boys are the richest of the niaja people I know and I still dont know what the heck they do for a living and quite frankly I dont need to know 'cos that's not my office.

In the streets I meet a lot of 9ija people arrogant as ever but I couldnt give a horses azz about them. They dont know me I dont know them so peace. The one time I had a nigerian man who was stalking me and I called on my naija friends on him and they gave him a mouth full and that was the last I heared of the slowpoke.

So my dear you can come in here and sugar coat your HATE speech all you want ('cos I feel like you are patronizing) but in the end never ever use a blanket perception on such issues. There's a lot of nigerians on this forum who would love to see SA dont spoil it for them and I wouldnt want to impose my issues on them. All I can say is welcome to my home anytime. It starts with an individual so which one are you??

It is nice to hear that you mingle with Nigerians. To be honest the South Africans male friends i have are usually 10 to 15 years older than me. Older SA men with a lot of wisdom. I have a lot of young female SA friends on the other hand. My in-laws are my family members and they are hardcore Zulus. They accepted me with open arms and have treated me with respect. I also love them and treat them with respect.All i can say is that i am glad you are the way you are and i hope more young Africans will emulate you.

You asked me which type of individual i am, well i am a quiet person, i don't drink and i don’t party(yeah i am pretty boring). I work 10a.m to 7p.m running my Video Game Store in the Glenvista suburb of Johannesburg. I am a family man with a beautiful South African wife(possibly the most beautiful SA woman i have ever seen  ) ,two lovely and intelligent sons. I am so private that none of my Nigerian friends know where i stay and i like it like that.

Love you sister.

SA Lady:
I must say you say a lot with too much conviction and it makes me laugh. You are getting somewhere though. Now lets hear on your solutions for Nigerians in South Africa 'cos all I hear is words of wisdom for SA. In the end you can tell us what stopped you from posting a positive message initially than to tell us about your problems with white & black SA men, SA film content and a hateful SA?

Trust me sister,i have nothing but love for SA. My wife is a South African and she gave me two beautiful (troublesome) sons. If I don't love SA i wont have been staying in SA for the past 8 years. What i am trying to point out is that Nigerians and South Africans are equally guilty of promoting hate against each other to the joy of the "WHITE MAN" who sits back with popcorn and soda and watch us tear each other to bits.

As for Nigerians living SA, there are different types of Nigerians living SA : The desperate and hopeless ,the intelligent and progressive and the wicked & heartless. Less than 20% of Nigerians living in SA fall in to the last category.

My simple advise for the other Nigerians in the first 2 categories is to stay away from crime in SA or go back home. The peeps in the last category can be shot ,killed I don’t really care. They give my people a bad name anyway so why should I even bother about them. I care about the ones who have been stigmatized in SA because they are Nigerian even though they are innocent law abiding people.

Nigerians in SA should work together to weed out the bad elements amongst them.

P.S for the record I will never like white South Africans except British South Africans. In my line of work i have been through hell dealing with them. I wonder how you guys have been able to co –exist with them for so long.

SA Lady:
^^^^soooo! whats your solution to all your problems?

First of all we need to gang up together to fight our corrupt Governments and we need to try harder to understand each other instead of stereotyping.

If a Nigerian is arrested in SA for drug dealing, my SA brothers & sisters should not automatically take out their anger on every Nigerian they come across. They should treat each individual differently depending on how he/she presents his or herself. The content of each individual's character is what they should judge.

Nigerians and other Africans as well should not assume that all South Africans are despoiler, HIV infected or xenophobic. Colonialism and apartheid has really messed up our continent and it is time the few educated Africans start working together to educate our uneducated folks and build a unified Africa.

WORD: A drug dealer is a drug dealer, does not matter where he comes from. A r-apist is a r-apist, does not matter where he comes from.

We should stop associating a particular crime to a particular nation. In SA for example in the drug trade, Nigerians play a minor role in terms of importation but Nigerians get arrested more often than other nationalities because we Nigerians have the "BIG MOUTH SYNDROME”. We like to show off and intimidate SA people in their own country, that is how our criminal minded brothers attract attention to themselves. You can spot a Nigerian a mile away just from the way he is dressed and the way he walks and talks loud like he owns the world.This is also known as "village man syndrome" as 70% of the Nigerians in SA are from the village and uneducated.The biggest drug dealers in SA are the Chinese, the Italians, the Brazilians, the Pakistanis, the Ethiopians, the Germans, the British the Jews and the Russians but the are very disciplined and keep a low profile not to mention that they keep top SA cops on their payroll. Just a few months ago a big drug bust was made in Durban worth over $5million, only British and SA citizens were arrested but SA peeps don’t hate British peeps. A few years ago a big cargo ship carrying tons of ecstasy tablets was seized in the port of Durban. The ship belonged to a well known Chinese businessman based in bruma but because the guy was a generous sponsor of the ANC, the matter faded into thin air. Many a times Chinese citizens have been caught dealing drugs, pirating SA music and movies but SA peeps don’t hate on the Chinese. Chinese peeps also run human trafficking rings from Mozambique to SA but South Africans love the Chinese.

What I am trying to say is that we Africans hate each other but treat the real FOREIGNERS in our land like kings. There is a joke we Nigerians usually crack amongst ourselves here in SA. We say "when a zulu man sees a Nigerian he says "Fuseck kwere kwere" but when he sees a whiteman he says "Yes Boss".This attitude must stop because it reflects a “slave mentality” -The white master is better than my African brother-.Whether we like it or not Africa is one, if not for colonialism, there will be no borders, it is the white man who cut up Africa like a pie to satisfy their greedy agendas. One love.

As a Nigerian who has been living in SA for more than 5 years this topic is pretty confusing. No reason was given for why these people were deported. That being said Nigerians commit a lot of crimes in SA and South Africans at the time discriminate against Nigerians in general especially South African men(white & black).

Many a times ,i have had to dish out a good azz whooping to South African men when they disrespect me for no just reason. The whites males talk to black males like they are talking to a goat and the black males address Nigerians in derogatory tone and refer to them as Kwere Kwere.

This is not to say that all South African are xenophobic because that will be just be wrong. There are many South Africans who love Nigerians ,who watch Nigerian movies and eat Nigerian food. The problem of xenophobia in south Africa is fuelled by the racist ,biased media of South Africa. I think something needs to be done to caution the way the media reports news.

During the world cup on E.T.V a new presenter said that 2 Zimbabweans and 1 Nigerian was arrested for allegedly robbing a foreign journalist. A few days later another reporter from E.T.V indicated that the 2 Zimbabweans had been taken to court to be tried. No mention of the Nigerian was ever made again. I sent an email to e.t.v asking what happened to the Nigerian that was arrested and why he was never taken to court. I never got a response from E.T.V.I also made several phone calls to E.T.V trying to get to the bottom of the matter but they kept transferring me from one department to another.

The truth of the matter is that E.T.v just decided to spice up the story and include an imaginary Nigerian in the crime. This is what the SABC and E.T.V does in SA to discriminate against Nigerians and cause more hatred between SA locals and Nigerians. This is also similar to what they did in the movie District 9 by portraying Nigerian as cannibals and our women as whores who engage other species in sexual intercourse. Needless to say the SA media and Movie industry has no respect for Nigerian. Almost very SA movie that has been released in the past 2 years have made negative references to Nigeria, just take a look at the movie “Jerusalema”. Nollywood never makes movies to diss SA, but SA movie makers think that they can insult Nigerians and portray us in a bad light whenever they choose to.

Like i mentioned above many Nigerians in SA are up to no good but South Africans themselves are full of hate. Africans need to work together to solve the problems of Africa. Hate is not the way.

@RSA, never thought i will say this but big ups bra, i am loving that pic, I hope our retarded president sees that pic and recoil in shame. You hit the nail on the head.

Thank you for the response,i actually grew up in Ikeja.Do you have any idea of how much shops cost to rent per annum in these areas you have suggest and how much do you in your opinion think i should charge per hour for students playing games?
