This is not a rant, but they are fond of sentences like ,'ordinary Kenya, 'Cameroon of all countries', 'monkey' when referring to their neighbors? Etc .'

Well coming from the most populous African-black country on earth, I'm very disappointed. Thank u
[size=13pt]You are right. My dad is Nigerian and I refer to it as "grandeur mirage".

It is in this country that self-confidence and extreme folly have successfully allied themselves to form a very successful marriage amongst a vast amount of the citizenry. A marriage you would otherwise have thought impossible[/size]

It probably came from the fact that oyinbo didn't on for long in Nigeria after independence,unlike most other African countries,I.e,the French colonized and southern African ones.

However,the superiority is mostly misconception and empty bravado.

Funny thread though. . .

Iamord, how do you suggest we stop calling that bag the name it has been tagged given that it is widespread already?
it starts from within. The same way u know that dropping your nylon in the street is wrong.

If I may ask, why are you on a Nigerian forum? If you are so pissed off about Nigerians and our uncivilized nature, why punish yourself by debating and arguing with uncivilized Nigerians?

JiggamanGh:
Like I said we are too civilized for that. After all Ghana was the first to deport nigerians we hve learned our lesson from it. We don't know what tomorrow might bring.

Like I said continue calling the bag ghana must go. After all most Ghanaians don't even know about it. It is on nairaland I got to know about it.

You even name the time when the event took place ghana must go era. Who r you fooling.

Get some sense! Ghana must go is a non-living thing! Calling a person Nigga/Chinko/Monkey are racial slurs, you are talking to a human being. Now when I go to the market and tell the seller, please give me two ghana must go bags, what exactly is wrong with that? It is a slang for a non-living thing...

Ghanaians flooded Nigerians and were taking local jobs, so the Government ordered them to leave - period! They were not killed or beaten. Ghanaians were just asked to leave.

If Igbo traders flood Ghanaian markets and your Government asks them to leave, I give you the authority to call a bag - Nigeria must go or Igbo must go!
some Ghanaians were killed mister

REASONS WHY NIGERIANS HAVE THE SUPERIOR COMPLEX AND ARE DARN ARROGANT.

Barely 55 years great Britain packed up and left. There were practically 0 infrastructure and institutions left. Any rail track or road great Britain built were solely for the purpose of ferrying our resources and raw materials away.

By 1960, we started the journey to self realization and after just 55 years in our young journey of existence we have become by our sweat and blood

1: The biggest economy in mother Africa.

2: Have lunched 3 satellites in space

3: Have the highest concentration of billionaires and millionaires in Africa.

4: We are home to Africa music headquarters

5 Nollywood is now no. 2 in the world

6: We are African entertainment headquarters

7: We are now in MINT countries

8: Nigeria produced the richest Blackman on earth

9: Dongote group of company is now in 15 African countries.

10: Nigeria funds and runs Ecowas/Ecomog 70%

11: We are the first and only country to pioneer the fully digitized, security , social identity card.

12. We have Africa's richest woman

13: Africa's richest blogger

14: highest gsm subscribers in Africa (130 million)

15 highest internet penetration in Africa

16: One of the biggest direct foreign investment hub in Africa.

17: 1 of every 5 African is a Nigerian.

18. We are the spiritual headquarters of Africa.

19 : most populous black country in the world.

20: Woke Soyinka and Chinua Achebe are Nigerians

21: Nigeria has one of the biggest natural gas reserves in the world and crude oil

22: As African power, We brought peace and stability to Liberia, Sierra-Leon, Togo, Sao Tome and Principe etc

When we look at D bank, P Square, Davido, Wizkid, ASA, Nneka, Timaya, etc all these names are house hold name in many, many African countries......

If we don't get arrogant and noisy, it just might explode silently inside our calm facade of pretentious gentility of hypocrisy.

We still have infrastructural and tribal huddled to climb, and we are in the process.
is dat all u've got? Not impressed at all

Notyourb1tch:
what does movies have to do with it. It's like saying comparing Bollywood movies to Nollywood movies since the ladies wear Sari's then they are whores. That is a very backwards mentality. I am also in London so I really don't get your point. I just wish women would stop bitching unnecessary . I don't get why everything has to be a constant competition. You will find good and bad from both sides and generally Ghanaian men think Ghanaian women are better just like Nigerian men think Nigerian women are better. Let's stop all this childish rants. Women are indeed their own worst enemies. Smh
Don't mind her, baby. I love Ghanaian girls. we will talk in camera. You hear?
Re: Where Did Nigerians Get That Superiority Complex From? by Nobody: 10:48pm On Mar 15, 2015

lol.. I like Ghanaians. They are cool indeed. This ish happened long ago, why are Ghanaians still ranting about it? They should forget about it already. BTW Nigerians love Ghanaians.. we don't mean anything with the Ghana must go bag. Its not just easy changing the name of a bag that has been in existence for decades.
lol. Yes we are. Me in particular. Am not ranting about it. I only gave an instance. Which has expanded to this. It's not easy changing the name. But at least it starts with u! When you know something is not right. That's where the conviction begins. I love Nigeria as well despite all the tussle. My ex was from ondo. And she is wonderful. So I respect Nigerians. And I expect the same vice versa

last month, one of your people(a lady) was asking me to teach her how to prepare ogbono soupgrin, that one of her Nigerian friend always prepare it for her and she likes the soup so much.
how come I have come across a Nigerian meeting a Ghanaian to teach her how keke and banku is prepared? your delicacy smells like poo and watering too
say all you wanna say, we are superior to you Ghanaians.

This might sound crazy but it was my first time here hearing about Ghana must go I had to Google it. I think it's safe for me to say that most Ghanaians don't know about Ghana must go or even care about that.
very true. We just using it as emphasis. Ghana has better things to worry about. But this things Nigerians look at as little. Are part of the things that make alot of people hate them. BTW... You beautiful Ma smiley

If their food smells like s.hi.t and p.is.s, they are not forcing you to eat it. This whole argument is becoming petty.

You said if Ghanaians kick nigerians out then nigeria will simply move to other 50 countries. I went on to say Ghanaians are too civilized to do such thing after we have learned our lesson from the past.

Is funny how you got upset with my statement that ghana is too civilized as knock on nigeria but doesn't seem affected by naming a bag after a country during it's most difficult time since its birth.

Nigerian didnt show civility when it kicked those Ghanaians out and they are yet to show civility by continuing to call the bag Ghana must Go.

The fact that she asked how to prepare it shows that she enjoyed the soup I don't see anything wrong with it. You are too childish at your age.

^ that's even the bone of contention they worship anything foreign as in white-western , they take poo from them but are quick to demean, insult, rubbish their African brothers, an African can not give an advice to a Nigerian.

Look @ boko haram wahala , go read the thread about Africab militaries and also check Litmus profile.
I am a Nigerian but I detest that many Nigerians worship any pale skinned human being. Nigerians will join racist caucasians in tearing down their own fellow blacks. Even in Nigeria, many Nigerians will sit there like mumus while all these foreigners from the middle east, europe and where have you will come to Nigeria as expatriates and treat Nigerians like shyte on their own soil. It cannot get any more pathetic than that.

Instead of Nigerians to join hands with other black Africans to make our continent a better place, many Nigerians will rather throw their fellow Africans under the bus and sadly do the same when on foreign soil. I am still trying to understand why many Nigerians have a inferiority complex when dealing with white people but suddenly develop a superiority complex when dealing with black Africans from other African countries. Maybe, years of seeing white Jesus and mary statues in some churches have made them that way because I cannot think of why many Nigerians are like that. It just beats me.
