DID YOU KNOW?

That Japan led Belgium in the World cup football game on Monday by 2 goals up but later conceded 2 goals to give up the lead and eventually lost by just 1 goal (i.e. 2 : 3) at the very last minute (94th minute) of the game.....

.... and yet, the fans picked up all the wastes in the stadium areas where they sat before leaving while the players cleaned the dressing room, leaving the floor spotless and sparkling clean as if it was never used, regardless of their loss .......

.... plus still left a 'THANK YOU' note in Russian?

There's surely something worthy of learning from JAPAN!

A country with a population of 127million but the 2nd most technologically powerful and the 3rd largest economy in the world, plus has a GDP of about $4.9 trillion (which is more than the combined GDP of $2.2 trillion for all the African countries with a population of about 1.2 billion).

A country with Shinto and Buddhism as their main religions and with tens of thousands of shrines and temples all over their lands, and yet demonstrate the highest sense of responsibility and respect everywhere they go plus an incurable commitment to valuing life through a sociocultural philosophy called IKIGAI whose meaning translates roughly to a reason for being, encompassing joy, a sense of purpose and meaning and a feeling of well-being (unlike we Africans with christianity and islam that frown at idol worshipping and pray frequently and for long hours as if God needed plenty proofs before answering but have the ridiculously lowest value for life plus rarely take responsibility for anything except miracles - and na even miracles for material things, not significant societal/national dvelopment).

A country heavily devastated by world war II as of 1950's but through American investments, their governments economic regulations like restriction on imports to boost exports, and a nationally entrenched business philosophy of continuous improvement of working practices and personal efficiency called KAIZEN (not "we've handed it over to God" kind of philosophy), they emerged out of it all to be a world giant today.

Dear 9ja people, don't show me how holy and prayerful you are to prove to me you love God; rather, show me how you value and respect life plus take responsibility for getting results in life, and I will agree you love God.

God bless Nigeria.

We too are good folk .The reasons We are struggling now are complex. Maybe we can learn a thing or too from the Japanese but cleaning stadiums is not one .Whole nations can be neurotic in different ways and we have enough neuroses of our own. Some kids score 300 in JAMB and you never hear of them again while others become entrepreneurs or millionaires well after the age of 40.

Nigeria is just 50 while Japan is centuries old they know who they are.They know themselves to be folk that clean up when they go abroad. We are still talking about restructuring and identity and Land or life.
In the life of a nation 100 years is a very short time.

Nations do not wake up one day to find their countries developed. It takes hard work and time. Most Nigerians have the consciousness of desire to be at the top. Eventually we may be fine but I might not live to see it.

The truth is that many Nigerians are very religious and at the same time wicked.

They worship God because they want His blessings and desire not His ways.

I LOVE JAPAN!

When Japan was 50 the world wasn't where it is today, when Japan was 50 I believe there was nothing like technology.

We have all this things now, these guys have done the trial and error to know what work and what doesn't, it's left for us to implement it and become great.

Nobody is stopping us from being like Japan, we have the resources, we can do it but bad leadership and bad followership won't.

There has always been technology? Even a hole in the ground for people to defecate is technology.
Making garri is technology
Nobody is stopping us from being like Japan but it takes time . It is not magic. Technology is not what made Japan with respect it shows a a very shallow understanding and perhaps a poor knowledge of history on your path.

People made Japan

Technology is available all over Europe but European nations are not equal.

just 100 years ago World War 2 ended in Europe but 21 year later an even more brutal war followed. Human beings are complex and their affairs are complex.


The question of bad leadership is just a simplistic idea.


Have they always had good leadership in Japan.? Where was Japan or China 150 years ago.

We are learning and it is painful. Other nations too have gone through pain too. If you thnk technology is the issue you are really misguided.

Hitler had a lot of technology for his era what did he do with it.

You must not forget that many African nations came into existence artificially and have not even managed to forge a common identity ,shared values or piurpose.

Let us not be in a haste to come up with or parrot redundant explanations like bad leadership? The way Nigeria was set up from day one it had to have many years of bad leadership?

Is it possible for people who should be together in one country to kill 200 of their compatriots in one night over cows in cold blood?


There are literally millions of people in West Africa who inhabit countries that they never agreed to be in and do not recognize. We hear this all the time from Asari Dokubo and he is right. This is more obvious in the Sahel region as we saw in Mali and we have seen in Borno

This is equally true for many of the mercenaries being imported to kill Nigerians by herdsmen. So we have unfinished issues. Being able to make a woman pregnant s not what makes a man


First we must agree that we want to be a nation. Otherwise component parts will continue to have divergent interests.and the leaders can only see things from their own tribal perspective especially when negotiating with foreign entities which hugel disadvantages Nigeria which really does not have genuine meaning for anyone.

Bakassi was ceded to Cameroon in one day.Did you weep for them? Does anyone from Ogun state care?

Is there such a thing as a Nigerian person in the same way there is a Fulanii person?

Nigeria is a prison for many tribes and ethnicities who had no say about being here

But they didn't qualify sha. So go figure

No society has ever abandoned its culture and tradition like Nigeria's society and experiences developmental growth.

I LOVE JAPAN!

I swear... I heard it's the cleanest country and 99% of its citizens are literate.. but they are scared of immigrants, afraid they will mess up their country

I FEAR JAPAN WHEN SOME CHINESE ON STREET INTERVIEW SAY JAPANESE WORK TOO MUCH, IMAGINE CHINESE THAT ARE HARD WORKING CONFESSING THAT JAPANESE ARE HARD WORKING PEOPLE,
EVEN AFTER WHAT THEY DID TO THE KOREANS, THEY STILL LIKE THEIR CULTURE/LIFE AND WANT TO EMULATE THEM

JAPAN IS EXAMPLE OF HOW HUMAN SHOULD BE, THEY ARE GREAT
GO WATCH 'ASIAN BOSS''

Divide nigeria and watch its constituents parts grow like Japan.
