Babatunde40:
I remember how Nigeria government, both FG and Lagos state, embarrassed themselves in 2018 when French president visited this Shrine.

They quickly tarred the road. Renovated the shrine. Blocked adjourning roads. Made the roads from the airport to the shrine look good. Just to create a facade of beauty. How shameful. I lost my respect for this government when they did that nonsense.

Nothing to be embarrassed about, if you're expecting visitors in your home you would make it look clean also.

Why won't you have suspicion when you aren't proud of your heritage.

Successful people are often the first to reconnect with their roots.

Failures call their homes shitholes because a white man said so.

Deep!

I love you Anthony Joshua.

Please ignore the naysayers

Ahan, you all free this guy jor. Una too complain. Yorubas have this adage that you do not point to your parents abode with left hand even if it is tached. His Mother raised him well. Some egocentric wannabe will just be forming with fake accent and nothing to show for it. Mtcheeew

It is mostly those who have made it abroad that are proud of Nigeria, being Nigerian abroad is a thing to brag about and take glory in, being Nigerian in Nigeria though, is another talk

How can you take pride in a country that seeks to destroy you at every turn you make?

Anthony Joshua is not experiencing the 'shithole' Nigeria, people that come from abroad, especially the celebrities, don't get to experience the shithole Nigeria. No police officer will stop him to go through his phone or accuse him of a crime, he isn't likely to be harassed by area boys, as we haveseen with the NIN registration, he will not stand in any queue before he is attended to, and he certainly will not have to fulfill any ridiculous requirements like paying for fuel or photocopy, to get things that he should.

So, to all the delusional people that are saying "Successful people are proud...." Blah blah blah, know that AJ never see Nigeria, what he is seeing is Naija, the one the likes of Iwobi, Cardi B and Jidenna see when they come here, Naija is reserved forvisitors, not residents. Shithole Nigeria, is for residents and there is no pride in that

The champ thanked his father/motherland for helping to mould him in a positive direction. short stay but it helped his journey in this life.

EXCLUSIVE: Anthony Joshua on how relocating to Nigeria for six months made him

https://trueafrica.co/article/anthony-joshua-on-relocating-to-nigeria-for-six-months/

Anthony Joshua was a shy, skinny 11-year-old when he flew to Lagos on what he thought was a family holiday.

Until then, the keen footballer had grown up in Watford, Hertfordshire, with his Nigerian parents but was looking forward to a short trip to Africa.

His rapid ascent through the heavyweight ranks has rendered him arguably the biggest commercial commodity in the sport today.

That was until he was woken abruptly on the first Monday morning of the holiday by his mum Yeta, who broke the news to him that he was off to school – and that they would be staying a while.

‘I thought I was just going there on holiday,’ he recalls. ‘But they tried to put me in a school!

Much has changed for Joshua, born Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua, since that sojourn to west Africa.

His rapid ascent through the heavyweight ranks, to the current position of IBF champion of the world, has rendered him arguably the biggest commercial commodity in the sport today.

It has been a long road back from the dark days of his adolescence, when a series of brushes with the law left him on tag for 14 months, unable to leave his home between eight in the evening and six in the morning.

Those tough and unexpected days back in Nigeria were the making of him.

Then, in 2011, he was kicked off the Great Britain amateur squad after being given a 12-month community order for possession of cannabis. He eventually returned, of course, to claim gold at the London Olympics a year later.

But for Joshua, those tough and unexpected days back in Nigeria were the making of him.

‘At the time you think “why?”, but as you get older you think it was good that you experienced it, you know?,’ he adds. ‘It was good for me.

‘I think my mum was trying to do some business there, maybe she had it in her mind. You don’t just randomly decide to move there.

“She might have been thinking about it for a while before we went, but didn’t inform us because we were kids. Then boom – it happened. We stayed out there – not long, just over six months.

‘It was a change and I thought I was going to go for the full course. As I said, it was all about discipline: 5.30 in the morning, get up, fetch your water, put an iron thing in your water to warm it up. Your clothes had to be washed and ironed in the morning.’

‘It wasn’t an issue but I just wasn’t prepared for it. It was a boarding school as well, but looking back on it, it was good for discipline.’

voltron14:

But let's be sincere, is this place not a shithole?

Let's leave infrastructure aside

A country where extrajudicial killing goes on unchecked and government agency-sars are the perpetrators, is that not synonymous to ❌

A country where over 46 billion of government funds was found in a house and suddenly the house has no owner, is that one not ❌

A country where government value the life of animals over that of people, is that one not ❌



I can continue to list. I'm proud to be a Nigerian though I don't live there for now. But trust me, if countries like Benin republic and Togo, whom we supply electricity enjoy 24 hours electricity at least 6 out of 7 days of the week and up to 18 hours on the 7th day, then tell me, are we not celebrating mediocrity in the name of being Patriots.

Let's call a spade, spade and not farming implement.

Shalom

You think nigeria is the only place police will harass you? Your skin color is enough to get you a bullet in the temple in some countries.

Nigeria will not be the first and the last to have political or social problems. All countries do.
but nigeria is still your country gaddamit! that should still mean something no matter how bitter you are.

If you have nothing positive to say about the country when some racists cu.nt paint it black and call your root a shithole to the world, atleast have some sense of self worth and dignity to shut the fhuck up and not batter the image further cos of self hate.

Like voltron said, I have never seen successful people that will accept nigeria is shithole.
It is always failures.

So nope, we have people who became successful in nigeria and I have never seen of those people go to foreign media and accept what some racist clown said about their country or deface it further.

It is always the angry failures.

You can easily guess the tribe of safarigirl.

They are ALWAYS bitter and angry. Especially when they see others succeed and identify with their roots.

Their Republic would always remain online. Nothing would come out of it.

As you said, only abject failures take the words of Trump as gospel, hook, line and sinker.

They think asslicking Trump would earn them a visa.

If you think my opinion of this country is based on what Trump says, then you are not very smart and I cannot blame you for that.

You have not said anything to counter my points- you only restated it and justified the shithousery in Nigeria because 'others have problems too'

It Is how black men justify their constant abuse by each other. An abused person always thinks "After all, we are many that are being abused, and my own is even better than others, so, let me manage". It is your lack of self worth that makes you normalise abuse. You don't think yourself deserving of anything decent.

There are countries that treat their citizens better, countries like Singapore, Norway, even this small Rwanda here, trying to do better for their own people, but you will rather identify with other abuse victims than choose better for yourself.

I repeat, it is easier to be a proud Nigerian from abroad, where the useless government policies will not disturb you, where you can at least get a decent job because of your qualifications, not because you know someone or because you can raise a ridiculous amount of bribe money.

Keep living in your world of delusion and keep taking pride in nonsense.

And as for that dimwit, thechameleon, talking about tribe, whether he is Yoruba, Itsekiri, Esan, Igbo or Hausa, my opinion remains the same. My post is not about Anthony Joshua, it encompasses all the Proud Nigerians from the Diaspora, that is why I cited Iwobi and Jidenna.
Your own tribalism has you seeing everything with a myopic lense, but that is down to your poor upbringing, also, not your fault.

AJ fully understands what Nigeria looks and feels like. He had his secondary school in Ogun State and he used to play at Makoko - one of the worst slums in Nigeria. That’s why he always visit Makoko every time he is Nigeria. He was still there today with his BELTS(check his Instagram page).

Joshua lived in Nigeria for many years - and that is why he knows a lot about Fela and the likes. He is not a foreigner to Nigerian realities. His constant visits to Nigeria is about associating with his roots; his source.

From sleeping on the floor for Buhari...

To registering for NIN and making videos of it...

Nothing. He just wants to be iin touch with his roots You Nigerians and your weird mentality.
