It's so sad.

Is Nigeria cursed? Do our politicians not like good infrastructure? Are they allergic to heaven-on-earth?

Sile12:
The only problem we have in Nigeria or Africa at large is corruption and greed.
We value our pockets more than lives of fellow citizens, more than our names, integrity and reputation.

But whites values names, lives, history, record, integrity, and reputation.
Until we can have this mentality, we will never move forward.

[b].......lol we nigerians are the problem


I can imagine when godswill akpabio built that magnificent stadium in his state with millions of dollars...... Instead of us to praise him and motivate him, we nigerians bash and insult him saying the stadium was "irrelevant" to the society.......

I can remember last year or so.....a 300L undergraduate built a drone to and instead of us to praise and motivate him with cash...... We insult him saying he bought the drone from china....



......now tell me the truth if we as a country can move forward ?...... When we all believe that corrupt politicians are the reason for our backwardness but forgot so soon We are the ones that put them there...... And praise them anytime they throw peanut at us..........and abuse them whenever they refuse to throw down the peanut.....



Or can you remember when YALE university gave okonjo iweala an award.....instead of us to be happy that one of our own is being recognized globally, we prefer writhing a petition to withdraw the award....smh



.....If we don't break free from this mentality, sorry to say we will never ever reach such level [/b]

Africans are bunch of primitive human beings. In other words, they value archaic activities of worshiping of individuals who stole public wealth, display it and oppress the poor. If you want to know them visit their environments and see their barbaric ways of doing things and the disorganized society. I can never accept primitive person to rule over me. Smelling humans.


Intelligent Nigerians need to stand up to these barbarians before they finally ruin everything.

Exactly, it shows how technology has advanced in the western world. That ship of 1912 you mentioned, some countries can't construct it this day.

I recall someone embezzling over $16B to buy us darkness. . .

Seriously, is this the same country Nigeria got her independence before her? Sad that we are still stuck here trying to achieve constant power supply and fighting ourselves. . .

Civil and Structural Engineering taken to the extreme. . . Waiting for when Japan's Shimizu mega city pyramid will become reality. . .

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge (commonly known as the "Bay Bridge" ) is a major dual-span bridge in the U.S . state of Maryland. Spanning the Chesapeake Bay, it connects the state's rural Eastern Shore region with the more urban Western Shore. The original span opened in 1952 and with a length of 4.3 miles (6.9 km), width of 28 ft (8.5 m) (eastbound) and 38 ft (11.6 m) (westbound) was the world's longest continuous over-water steel structure, the parallel span was added in 1973. The bridge is named the "Gov. William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge" after William Preston Lane, Jr.who, as Governor of Maryland, initiated its construction in the late 1940s after decades ofpolitical indecision.

Nigeria is NOT cursed. There is no such thing.

It is also NOT about our politicians since they were all ordinary citizens like us before they became politicians and will return to being ordinary citizens when they lose office/elections.

Rather it is about ALL of us that have chosen to remain mumus of the highest order. Therefore it is also up to us to decide we will make the sacrifice necessary for our society/nation/race to move forward.

Cavemen were NOT only Africans!!!

Those who claim to be intelligent need to first educate others and invest themselves in formal education of everyone to create a critical mass of intelligent people to confront any barbarian. That was partly how Europe came out of its Dark Age period.
Otherwise it will be futile.

There is a reason why Martin Luther King did not aspire to be president of the USA but chose to enlarge the possibilities for his fellow African-Americans unlike the Fawehinmis, Soyinkas, Falanas etc in our midst!
