Must Nigeria Be the same as every African Countries, why cant so called Smart Nigerians develop Nigeria

The west isnt the problem of Nigeria But Nigerians themselves, if Nigerians are smart then they will put their house in order

Singapore, Hongkong, Dubai were poor countries but a few smart power drunk people changed those Countries
Go Through The Post Again, I'dnt Blame The West...,. And There Is No Way Power Drunk Men Can Change Anything. Those Nations U Mentioned Were Just Fortunate To Have Good Leaders At The Right Time!... Here In Calabar, We Were Once Fortunate To Have Such Leader, In A Person Of Ex-Governor Donald Duke. He Tried His Best Even With The Meagre Revenue Of The State At The Time.

How does the current Nigeria benefit the west? Some countries were colonised by the west but now are almost in par with western countries

If Nigerians and its leaders were smart, they would have paved their own way and stop blaming the west for their troubles
you clearly are not smart. This is my last comment here. I work in the oil and gas sector let me school you small.
1- exon, shell chevron help us drill crude/gas and also steal from it. Their refineries also convert it with crude along with indian refineries ( our refineries were from the french and are dead now). There is no oil in netherland but shell from the same country brings in billions from overseas

2- as we no get light we have to use generators from perkins(UK) and some asians ones- if we had light is there any market for those guys

3- cocoa from west africa is converted into billions of chocolate in the west and asia( if we had chocolate companies here would it benefit west?)

4. All the other things we import nko Does it not benefit them

Be smart bro. U say our leaders shud be smart. So our reps and senators shud make laws that will favour all of us So their 33m salary becomes 2m and the 5.5 billion car doesn't see the light of day. U dull sha

What Nigerians call smartness, would most times turn out to be total disresgard for the next person, basic etiquette, moral values, laws or rules and regulations.

A Nigerian will drive one way, get to the front- return to the correct lane and feel like a sharp guy.

A Nigerian will jump the queue, luckily they get attended to by whoever after dropping N200. They come back to you that is standing on the queue like a sane human being and tell you that you are not STREET SMART. So, you fit sleep here today o...Truly you might sleep there.


Na this kind smartness we dey exhibit most times. Majority of us are guilty of one or more. Not our fault sha, it is the kind of smartness you need to survive in a third world country, where everything-including the government is working against you.

The people that are BOOK SMART (we call them efiko and even demonise them), we stereotype them as clumsy and timid- NOT STREET SMART. The ones going about their businesses jejely are not left out from the above stereotype.

That is why when we go to countries where normal humans are, we complain it is slow, boring...etc. We have to relearn to live, because we have only been existing/surviving in the jungle we hopped on the plane from.

Many Nigerians like you are highly never objective in anything but beat their chest all over africa and the west that they are better, they call african-american akata and imagine why african-americans cant use the american dream but to forget to say that African-americans have a spending power that is more than the whole Africa, even they wonder why Nigerians have to immigrate from their country but cant develop theirs but then again Nigerians say they are smart, they can turn everything into gold but cant turn their country into Gold. what an irony.

As for you Mr, you had a convo with someone here on the travel section, you wrote that you are a financial analyst and an accountant, today,you work in the Oil and gas sector, why are you Nigerians lairs

With all the rants you wrote, if you were so smart with the outdated stuff you have written, you would have known that No foreign country can take another country resources without a contract

-For your info, not only exxon and shell play in the Nigeria oil sector, there are also Nigerian Players in that sector

-exxon and shell, do not steal Nigeria oil but are in profit sharing agreement with the Govt of Nigeria, i think it is the ratio of 60:40

-Nigerians destroy their refineries not the west, i guess most Nigerians do not know about maintenance. when you maintain, it last.

the west didnt come and steal the cocoa, there is an agreement, the west are expert in turning raw materials into finished goods, is it the job of the west to provide factories for cocoa in Africa or the the job of Africans to provide factories to process their raw materials

According to the Nigerians, all problem of Nigeria is an external one, man, we live in 2019 were countries decide their own fate, colonialism was 60-100 years gone but in 2019, A Nigerian is still blaming the west for its internal problems, what a disgrace.

Pls get educated.

this is my linkedin account. U cant pm lemme send you the link lol. Pointless arguing with people like you. Have you seen a monthly stock certificate for oil transferred to terminals like the bonny one There is s column for theft( by vandals of pipeline) and metering inaccuracies. Na there the real steal dey happen. You move 100k barrells from an oml in delta or rivers . Vandals steal 4000. U record 15000. Meter inaccuracies you record 20000 instead of 5k. Bros you be learner.
You clearly dont know how international trade works. When mugabe took white farms over what happened to his country. Sanctioned and it lead to their doom. Or ask Ghadafi how far too.
I never blamed the west but it is our rulers who make deals with them. West thinks about its people( lived in uk at a point and they give citizens benefits) . Over here our rulers think of them selves and family. Rochas was a billionaire before but still came to loot . Ambassdor oke kept 50m usd raw cash in a ikoyi flat but we have many dilapitaded schools. We are not smart in nigeria bros

You write like you own the company you work for because you saw a stock certificate for oil transfer

so it is the international oil company stealing it? always get your facts right

what you wrote down s nothing new, and info you can get on a newspaper..

So how does international trade works? "Mr smart-ass"

i have been offshore on an fpso and also a field too. I still part of the sector grin. Face the issue you dey ask here. We are not smart collectively. I have seen where a community rejected free light from an oil company but wanted generators and monthly diesel allowance. All these things na black man problem. Observe the trends.

BECAUSE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMARTNESS AND INTELLIGENCE

Smartness may put food on your table but you need intelligence and organisation to build a nation - two things, a typical black man lacks.

Nigerians aren't smart at all bro... Don't be carried away by all those false blog news that a Nigerian went to UK and became the best graduating student.
