Why is Nigeria this backward? We have lands I mean lots of Land for Agriculture. My Aunt came from Plateau state recently and I saw pictures of Farms and Farm produce wasting ranging from Watermelons, Tomatoes, cucumber and some spices. I was disappointed and I asked myself if Nigerians offended anybody? What about the South here nko?
I recently saw some stupid boys trying to kill an hornbill an Animal that is not that common. I called on the people on my community telling them that this Animal isn't common and they shouldn't eat it. One foolish guy said it tasted like Chicken? Like Chicken for crying out loud why don't you buy Chicken instead of Killing an Animal you know nothing about. Then I realised our wildlife commission is in shambles. What of Zoos? Is it not a Zoo that a Lion died recently out malnutrition and hunger because somebody somewhere is eating the money.
The NatGeoWild we're watching and we're seeing Animals in their own Natural habitat is exciting abi? Many of us don't know that Governments in those countries have invested heavily in conservation from Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, India and even China that eat Wild Animals sef. If we decide to leave recklessly in this life we are on our own.
What of Solid Minerals? We have many solid minerals in Nigeria. What are their impact on Nigeria? Abi is it only oil money we have in Nigeria? Nigeria is a disgrace of a country and I repeat a disgrace.
People that are saying "Oh you don't understand , Nigeria is different" are all f*king liars. Nigerians are one of the most selfish people on the planet Earth quote me anywhere. Some people are saying "Aah we're everywhere. We are in Medicine, Technology, Science and Humanities" In your country what is the level of the impact of the "gbogbotigbo".
Sometimes we do things of which I am guilty. Nyamiri, Brown roofer, skull Miner,IPIG,Afonja, Hausa begger, Okoro thief etcetera etcetera. My question Is after insulting what next? After voting because of 10k what next? After looting all the money and building elsewhere what next? After we run away from Nigeria the "Zoo" what next?
We must remember the future and our future starts today.

Ammishaddai:
Oga wake up from your slumber and face the reality : you're in Nigeria ;not US. Now stop this rant and behave like a Nigerian.

Zeeknow3245:

One of the backward People spotted. Was it not the same Nigeria that naira was greater than Dollar? People like you are angered by the sight of truth. Typical of you and I'm truly not surprised

Ammishaddai:
Why should I be angered by the fact that I am a Nigerian who loves doing what Nigerians do? You can now see that you are the in anger...

Zeeknow3245:

"Loves doing what Nigerians do" What do Nigerians love doing? shying away from truth? Compromise? Lying? Come on man you should know well OR you mean hustling and struggling to make ends meet? When the rain falls it touches everyone whether good or bad.

Ammishaddai:
There is a proverb that says " think as you like, but behave like others". You are in Nigeria, not America oga. So wake up!

Zeeknow3245:

In my write up I never mentioned America or any advanced country except China. So because majority of Nigerians are corrupt, incompetent, grossly hypocritical and Selfish I should be like them? Come on

Ammishaddai:
Your ideologies are looking westernized, and the sooner you throw those out the better it will be for you to survive in this land

Zeeknow3245:

I will just let this slide but remember Nigeria was never like this. We've been blinded by own Selfishness and I pray that your children don't look back and curse the past which you belong to.

Ammishaddai:
[s][/s] I would rather my children grow to be africans who see africa in me. And not some homosexual driven Western idealogy that will end up sending them to hell

Ammishaddai:
[s][/s] I would rather my children grow to be africans who see africa in me. And not some homosexual driven Western idealogy that will end up sending them to hell

Ammishaddai:
[s][/s] I would rather my children grow to be africans who see africa in me. And not some homosexual driven Western idealogy that will end up sending them to hell

Zeeknow3245:

you must be wise in your Ignorance. What African Ideology,? An Ideology that you cannot tell your elders that they're lying? Let me tell you something our Ideology is that of corruption but it is so much obvious now. Was it not the same Nigeria that fought the military? The same Nigeria that people died? It is not an Ideology it is that people overtime have become more selfish.

Ammishaddai:
But you'll rather let me embracing homosexuality and abortion abi? Oga dey your fvcking lane

Zeeknow3245:

I never said Homosexuality neither did I say we should embrace evil. My argument is stating the truth.

Ammishaddai:
Your argument is not stating the truth. Rather, it is supportive of another evil that's greater than the one we already know

Zeeknow3245:

So my arguments which states:
*Conserving wild life
*Conserving mineral resources
*Improving Agriculture
*Leaving Nigeria instead of building is not a great mentality
*Stop Name calling and Preventing Identity politics
*Choosing Truth and condemning evil
*Standing against compromise and all forms of hypocrisy is Alien and Evil?

Ammishaddai:
You've managed highlight the advantages of your views whilst hiding the ugly ones

My brother... You are one of the lone voices in the wilderness... there was a thread on this family section that I read this week... A fellow was ranting on how he was banned by a moderator for teaching people on how to defraud others...He wanted to teach people a new method of defrauding people... According to him, His cousins that lives in Russia told him that the fraud in Nigeria is a child's play compared to the more advanced one in Russia and other bla bla bla he said....

As I read that, I discovered that he was comfortable and confident in his write up.. Probably he doesn't know any better...Or raised in a family that sees nothing wrong with defrauding people... That's the kind of Nigeria, Legacy and impression that people were leaving for their kids and the younger generation...The fact that Nigerians are doing it, it makes it right....That's what I guess they were learning in new GST I02 Nigerian People and Culture curriculum... That's why some of them cannot survive abroad.. they found themselves behind bars or being sentenced to death... it's just sad...

Many Nigerians abroad who are doing legitimate businesses are tired of defending the image and impression about Nigeria to other Nationality ... it's just exhausting...How do one defend what was so obvious.. something you see on photos and videos on a daily basis ...When you type in scam on google anywhere you are around the world, The first country it will generate on it's own is Nigeria?....No one cares.. because It has become a norm..

MisterRuk:
It's poverty
Have you been to ghettos, slums or low income areas? You will notice that negative values spreads easily, there is always violence, prostitution, frequent sexual immorality, child abuse, easy circulation of hard drugs, envy, environmental pollution, noise pollution, overpopulation, mediocrity. You will realize that poverty weaponizes religion, especially dark religious doctrines. Poverty breeds corruption, war, tyranny, crime and more poverty etc. In a state of poverty people easily forgo their independent thoughts and cling to tribal mindsets, these "tribes" could be ethnic groups, religion, political parties, ideologies etc, and they tend to see people who do not belong in their "tribe" as enemies, forgetting these people are also human beings like themselves. Poverty sometimes is not the lack of money, its the lack of the physical and mental resources to provide an ideal human living condition.All forms of poverty, both mental and physical is characterized by a craving for something they feel is missing from their lives as a complete human be it money or even sex. And this state reduces one into an animal, that they will join the dark side to get it.
What Nigeria and many third world countries suffer from is poverty, and the best ways to handling poverty is through economics, not politics. But it's surprising that most of our leaders and activists seldom talk about economic development, because even human right and free speech thrives where there is a strong economy.
