Don't mind these stupid Nigerians.

Miserable idiots.

Somebody from Rivers or Enugu will be moaning about ''NIGERIA'', meanwhile his state governor is banking their monthly allocation, and buying mansions in America.

But no. The problem is not the governor and his thieving state colleagues.

The problem is ''NIGERIA''.

People in SOKOTO.

''NIGERIA'' made your state governor, who you all trooped out to vote for, to loot your state funds.

IDIOTS.

BURNA SHOULD GO AND FCK HIMSELF.

TODAY, over 60% of national revenues are shared out to the STATES.

They are richer than the FG.

The states are largely autonomous now.

They can generate their own electricity.

Harness their own resources.

Zamfara state today is harnessing its gold, and has gold mines where anybody can go and do business.

I saw an Igbo man there doing gold business freely.

Lagos state is building railway lines everywhere.

What is stopping each state from doing the same and harnessing their resources to generate more revenue?

NOTHING.

But these IDIOTS will ignore their useless state governments to blame ''NIGERIA'' for all their problems.

USELESS THINGS..
This rude and uncultured animal is one of the emergency lovers of Nigeria
I'll see how long this new found love will last when that old, corrupt criminal from your region leaves.
Disgusting and despicable subhuman hypocr!tes

The tax they don't pay is a bribe to them

You want to tell me burner boy makes 80 million dollars and pays 40 million dollars as tax he would keep quiet like he is today?

No... I have always said it Tax would fix every problem we have in Nigeria
Useless thought...
With the Revenue the government have, what are they doing with it?
More tax = more money in the looters' accounts.

I don't listen to secular music, neither do I follow this guy, but judging from my knowledge of government, I can attest that truly, Nigeria was never meant to exist, it is just business gone wrong and nothing can change it with the way it is going

You are correct but the people that found themselves together should have reasoned well and worked together for a better union instead the north and south west decided to enslave the rest with all manners of propaganda and lies which is why the union is not working well

Nonsense talk really! You don't hear South Africa and Zambia crying, do you? They were all amalgamations formed by the British. Nigeria's problem isn't the British but division amongst the people sponsored by the political class who employ a divide-and-conquer approach to ruling over them. undecided
Those countries you mentioned are not as ethnoreligiously and culturally divided and diverse as Nigeria.
There's no country in this world that's as divided as Nigeria in all spheres of life.
There's nothing the Igbos, yorubas and Fulanis have in common, not even the physical anatomy/appearance.
An Indian from southern India looks exactly like the one from northern India to an outsider, share the same historical background, speak the same language, share same culture, food, clothing style and have a high chance of being members of the dominant religion.
Such things are not applicable to Nigeria.
If the divisions and diversity were not already there naturally, how would the politicians exploit them?

Wealthy people pay a lot there ... All those free free are money gained from wealthy people there to give to the poor ... Here wealthy no ready pay am at all ... All these celebrities are hypocrites.
Most of them are very useless

I keep saying it that Nigeria is not a nation and can never be a nation. Nigeria does not possess any of the features of a nation which are common religion, common language, common culture, common historical background, etc.

Nigeria is an artificial entity created by Britain for selfish economic reasons. But Nigerian politicians keep fooling the gullible
people with the fake name 'NATION' just to plunder, steal and distort the truth.

How can people who don't have same political ideology, language, religion, culture, historical background, etc be called a nation?

Mark my words. People who usually show to be the most patriotic citizens of Nigeria are the worse set of tribalists and ethnocentric idiots.

so from your mo.ronic and idi@tic definition

Russia
Belgium
Canada
United States
Singapore
Malaysia
Switzerland
are not nations

because they are multi ethnic , mentality polarised, speak different languages, different religious backgrounds, etc.

excuses upon excuses 😴

the reason why Nigeria and most of Africa is the way it is, is because most of the citizens are silly and stupiiiíd

break the country into twenty
that mumuness will still ruin it
Who is this cockroach? I don't debate with nonentities and shameless unity beggars.

E.g India split into India/Pakistan/Bangladesh/Nepal. Rhodesia- zimbabwe/botswana/angola; congo- DRC/Congo
Gold Coast/Ghana did not split. Likewise Kenya. Many of them

Either you nor Burna is making sense sir because Nigeria is not the only multi tribal country that was joined together by the British. The US was also joined together by the British even China, India and South Africa were all multi racial and tribal countries and they are doing well.
Citizens blaming the Brit for our failure is a country is just a reflection of our irresponsibility that contributed to our failure.
The problem of Nigeria is greed and that begins from each citizens down to the government, just imagine how every retailers are using inflation as an opportunity to exthort buyers. Bottom line most of us Nigerians are as
good as our bad leaders. Even Burna how significantly has he used his wealth to help his community, just take a look at how Sadio Mane has single handedly transform his community.
Just because it's coming out of a celeb doesn't mean that it makes sense
continue fooling around with half- baked opinions. Tribal differences is not a divisive factor. Infact ethnic differences which is stronger than that of tribe is not much a cause of division. The major problem is conflicting value systems which consist different ethnic, religious, historical and economic worldviews. All countries that started without having a dominant value system have disintegrated remaining Nigeria. Even China you're quoting is worried about it's minority Uighur Muslims having a seperate value system from the rest of China. US do not have divergent value systems but people of different backgrounds migrating into a single American Identity and shared values of capitalism, Christianity and democracy. Nigeria has no single value system. The drag among the ethnoreligious groups to impose a dominant value system will prove fatal and lead to seperation.

Nnamdi Kanu is the solution.
He will negotiate for indigenous people, so that power will return back to the people.


Nigeria is destined for destruction.

The solution is to go back to regionalism or to separation, mutual separation.

Dissolution of the union or going back to regional governments. That way, if your tribesman misbehave , you can easily remove him from office without been accused of tribalism.
This is exactly the answer I gave to him before seeing your reply.
The truth is that deep down we all know that this is the only two solutions to our problems. Anyone who deny that is not being truthful to themselves

Hmmmm Niger-area to Niger-ia, collateral damage indeed...
The full name was " The Area around the River Niger"

Many people don't know this but that Royal Niger company (RNC) was owned by a man named Sir Taubman George Goldie

He is the True father of Nigeria, he is the one who Named this place as Nigeria and not Flora Shaw. It was this Man that mapped out the plans on how to conquer the North, Lugard only followed the plans Goldie have already laid out. It was this same Man that advised the British crown to amalgamate the two Protectorates into one single entity. And he never believed that the Southern and Northern Protectorates would ever work as one country , here is what he said in one of his journals " the northern Protectorate and Southern Protectorate are as widely separated in laws, government, customs, and general ideas about life, both in this world and next, as England is from China"

But amalgamation has to happen anyway because the Northern Nigeria ( the Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria were actually in all intents and purposes two separate countries with similar sounding names) were running on a deficit and were relying on non-refundable grants by the crown to barely keep afloat.
