PotatoSalad:

Religious beliefs and Fanaticism can hinder development and innovation.
Take a look at that dingbat called Righteousness for example. He's growing a cult of people whose only goal is to prepare for a fictious rapture. When a group of people have that mindset, they will never grow. How do you make inventions or things that'll make lives better when your neighbor thinks it's against their faith or that you're challenging God.
That's faith and foolishness.
A country where people would spend all night binding and casting at prayer grounds because they are lazy and cant think for themselves, but would rather blame people close to them for their misfortune.
A country where prosperity gospel thrives. Where people claim bogus miracles and stay idle and let their miracles manifest.
A country where a church will rent a warehouse and convert it to a church.
A little story. A big tree was growing in a village, had plenty fruits and provided shelter, so the villagers cut it down and used it to build a house where they prayed to their God to provide for them.
You get the point now.
There's no way you'd look at it and not say one of our major problems isn't religion.

I'd love to go on but let me have my dinner first.

The United Arab Emirates is creating its own rain using drones that fly into clouds and unleash electrical charges to beat the sweltering 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) heat.

The rain is formed using drone technology that gives clouds an electric shock to 'cajole them' into clumping together and producing precipitation.

Was it not God that gave the wisdom to the person that brought this idea?

Please learn to think beyond Nigeria and u will see urself going far in life

People comparing Nigeria with UAE should know that UAE has OPEC quota of about 10 mbps for a population of about 10m. While Nigeria is given less than 2 mbpd to feed over 200m mouths.

Officialgarri:

No. Not same oil.

First, Dubai is 3 times older than Nigeria
Second, Dubai's population is not even up to the population of Delta state alone
Third, the UAE oil is 3 times more than Nigerian oil reserve.

I'm not trying to justify our failure especially in the past, but only pointing out some facts that you are not considering.

It is not alteration. It is using knowing what nature already has and using it to your advantage.

It is just same thing as Using matches and lighter to produce fire. When you know that HEAT ENERGY already exists, then u think of ways to bring out that heat energy and use it.

Shey you have fan and airconditioner and you see what they do to the air. Is that alteration of nature?

I hope you understand better.

Starzo:

[s]all this gibberish yet u failed to make a simple relevant point.
You claim to be all about wanting a better nation yet u failed to mention the main problem of the country (corruption among public office holders). And if we were to tow the path of religion ( which I don't really like), you still didn't say anything against the religion that has produced and produces atleast 75% of the personnels holding public federal offices in the republic.
You just unleashed ur personal anger and hate towards the guy called righteousness and the church in general. Both of which have nothing to do with the clueless leadership dragging the nation into the mud.

You(your mindset and mentality) are a big part of what's holding this country down cuz you never face/deal with the real issue rather, u use emotional sentiments to attack undeserving parties[/s].

while one country in west Africa is Obsessed with tribalism and religious fanaticism which made them elect a "Shock Absorber" in place of a "President" who is more interested in taking their country back than forward.
SMH.

They use to use cloud seeding technology back then... Every thing about Dubai is top notch

I do laugh when I see ignorant people insult Arabs and Muslim... I just smile, the day you step into Gulf country in middle East, you would cry and curse our Nigerian leaders
