Esseite: Defending lies is what put this country in this mess. One thing about you people that supports African politicians is that all of you are just the same. If Tunibu lie his own people will support and defend him. If Atiku lie his own people must support and defend him. If Peter Obi lies the same thing. E.t.c And this attitude gives them more power to lie, thief, and do all sorts of corrupt things because they know that no matter what they must get Support from there supporters. Why are you people acting like politicians are saints? Don't they get things wrong? If it is Buhari, Atiku, Tinubu e. T. C that this post is against. Be honest will you put out this to defend them? The answer is no you will rather write opposite of this. 1 Like |

Peter Obi is definitely the last hope for Nigeria. What is the material significance of this figure to the main import of his statement that Nigerian youths are undeniably influential in the sports and the NBA. The fact remains that the Nigerian-Americans and Afro-Americans of Nigerian decent are influential in the NBA. Can you compare other candidates who doesn't care, or have don't appear on air to tell us about the Nigerian youths in diaspora and what these youths can bring to national development?

Esseite: Oga, based on these, that means all the "black Americans" are Africans, is that true and correct information? People with Nigerian parents are not Nigerians if they've not lived here for once, and they don't claim to be Nigerian. Raheem Sterling is not a Jamaican, Christian Pulisic is not a Croatian until he got Croatian citizenship, Barak Obama is not a Kenyan. Ross Barkley is not a Nigerian, etc. |

Your Stat says Internationals (ihe those that have played for a National team) Not all players in the NBA have played for the national team, go and get a stat with the list of players and their countries of birth and origin , then you can understand better. By this your Stat, Gianis would be American wwwihy: |

Esseite:Do you think everybody in government is very corrupt or insensitive? Or do you think Buhari is happy with the way things are in terms of economy and security? Generally as Nigerians we all have problems with sentiment and poor reasoning hence we are destroying ourselves. If majority of Nigerians still keep falling to sentiment, ignorance and egocentrism, and cannot raise their level of knowledge and reasoning to begin tackling their problems from the root, then no president can change Nigeria. The Buhari everybody is insulting has actually brought a great level of transparency at the federal level, yet nothing changed in the situation of the country. Every single problem we have in this country can be traced to Shallow-mindedness, Tribalism, extremism, incompetence and its father illitracy/poor education. No president can tackle this problem from the federal level alone no matter how good he/she is. It is a society problem. No problem is ever solved top-down succesfully. To solve a problem, you must start from its roots up. Wedon't like to hear this because it feels like a long shot, but yeah, it is just the truth. The only good thing a president can do now is first to make Nigerians so aware of what their problems are that they begin to adjust. And it will take time. 1 Like |
