Well said Pain. Nigeria is a useless giant.

^^^Worthless asswipes. Nigeria was useful enough to put wasted entities like you through school and education though, feed you, and put you in front of a computer. 

You should have been born in Somalia or Chad, and spared us all the horrors of your literacy, internet access, and full  bellies.

The UK was once worse than Nigeria. Just a couple of generations ago, people slept 15 to a room in London, Manchester, Birmingham etc, and died of cold and disease on the streets. Forced Child labour was the norm for millions of kids. All this as Buckingham palace, Wembley, Trafalgar Square and other edifices and complexes were being erected, and the aristocracy lived virtually on another planet in terms of comfort. Go and read Dickens. He wasn't writing fiction.

It was ordinary citizen action and activism which eventually led to changes over several decades culminating in what they have there today. You can never derive pride or fulfilment by heralding another people's efforts. If their ancestors acted like you, they'd be nowhere today.

People don't want to hear this --- now they're talking about ancestry. I've said my own --- Nigeria is a useless giant, maybe I should add at least "for now."

Nigeria is not the Giant of any thing,

Libyans are currently Desecrating Nigerian women for FREE! In America when even ONE American dies there is a consequence. If a nation of 6 million can bully Nigeria around and kill her citizens even after Nigeria recognized it then, Nigeria cannot be called a giant of anything,

Nigeria is a regional powerhouse:

That's it,
