forget skyscraper...a Nigerian with every street and main road tarred. With 24hrs power supply in major cities like Lagos Abuja pH etc. And up to 20 hrs power supply in smaller towns.
With state police. With nobody trying to break out etc...we don't need skyscraper

For a country like Nigeria. If they had constant power supply all round and very good roads. Than companies would build their headquarters in the country. And the larger the company the bigger they need their building to be. Private companies will build skyscrapers because of demand. It just happens on its own

Because merit is not considered in Nigeria a society controled by mediocres favoured and planted by the wicked British.

Dodging responsibility as usual.
Giving a thousand excuses for why it is not our fault but those "people".
Lack of meritocracy in Nigeria is Nigeria's fault.

If it is not some wicked British, it would be the exploitative Indians or Chinese.
This is despite the fact that many territories with far longer British occupation such as
Hong Kong have far more higher standard of living than the "free" ones

The wicked British also willed Kenya's system of government.

And just like this alarmist Prof., you think foreigners are the problem when the locals
are largely lazy and risk-averse.

Afonja hypocrites. see them getting happy over the same thing they hate the Igbos for- economic dominance.

You're happy to live in and do business in a foreign country but unhappy to live with your fellow citizens in your region.

I'm only happy that the mentioned businesses belong to Igbo's. When Biafra comes it'll be easier to establish ties with these countries and repatriate wealth.
You didn't read the post well. You're ranting. And it's off point.

Wrong and distasteful!!!

Stop talking down at people. Most Nigerians are not any better in their country than the Kenyans in their own country.

Self serving and myopic kleptocrats are to blame for the state of affairs in most Africa nations (including Nigeria).

Don’t gloat at people who welcome you into their midst lest things get awry eventually. SA Xenophobic attacks come to mind.

Yea, blame it all on leadership. A dean of a renown faculty in a university, Bufallo upstate new York was a yorubaman from ekiti over a decade ago. We never knew eachother until the day i was graduating . That said, indians used to dominate our health sector in consumables, pharmaceuticals and devices. But now, we've taken over. China can't dominate our economy for ever.

Once we get leadership right, Nigeria would overtake some members of the BRIKS in no time. Nigerians are contributing greatly to economies of many countries at the expense of theirs and u can't blame them. There's an enabling environment for them to thrive.

Barely 3 months ago, the CBN announced Health Care Loan to cushion the effect of covid-19 in the health sector. Up till now, none of the applicants including hospitals has got disbursed. People are now calling it an audio loan. Whereas, in other countries within Africa, it didn't take them a month before they got funds from their government. IMF approved the loan Nigeria applied for without blinking an eye. We were also granted debt releif with the hope that our government would also do the needful to revive our moribund health sector via various means. Alas! We are still where we are like Osinbajo would say.

Let tha not be the birth of another kind of xenophobia against Nigerians again in Kenya, on the brighter side at least he agreed that for every Nigerian caught on the wrong side there are nine other Nigerians doing the right thing... Which is something the South Africans never wanted to accept.

Really, some Nigerians know how to change things into negatives. Look at how Chinese are going all around the world establishing businesses is it because they are running. Or they are trying to spread influence.

Give China an inch and they take a mile, just look at Hong Kong. Most of their businesses are government owned and must subscribe to their government's agenda.

I’ve never understood why in this day & age people cannot pass a message online without insults. What has father & son ruling got to do with being bastards? Do you know the meaning of the word? Kenya is a democratic state & Kenyans voted Uhuru Kenyatta because they saw a president in him & it had nothing to do with his late father.I don’t know how you describe backward in your vocabulary but am curious to know how many Kenyans you’ve met in person or you’ve just heard stories. Let’s leave behind archaic habits of communicating disrespectfully on social media. Let’s behave like learned people please.Yes am a proud Kenyan.

It is either Niggarea have paid this man alot of money to advertising on its behalf..

recently met a Nigerian who was a member of parliament in South Africa. In America, they are top administrators in universities, medical doctors, engineers, financial analysts and other lucrative jobs. It has been predicted that Nigeria will soon be Africa's superpower. And why not? The country has gone through thick and thin, from coups and anti-coups and even a civil war, like the other superpower - USA."

Give us the names of those you met in America, if not IPOB/Biafrans.

My name is SULE. Back in Primary school, I was
very poor in
maths.
During exams, I’d get between 2% and 8%. The
results used to
be announced sequentially, that is from the lowest to the
highest marks. So I would always be the first or
second to be
called out and flogged.
One day, the maths results were announced and
my name wasn’t among the first to be called out.
The teacher got to 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%,
still my
paper had not been called out.
Everyone in the class kept looking at me asking,
SULE what’s up? How did you pass this exam?” And I was like ... "Well, na God o"
By the time the teacher got to 80%, I was already
grinning in
excitement. When he got to 90%, he had only one
paper
remaining. I then asked myself, could I have scored 90% in
maths? I was feeling very anxious and happy now.
It was
obvious my dreams and prayers have been
answered.
The whole class was amazed as everyone kept looking at me.
It was unbelievable.
Finally the teacher looked up and said,
“One silly student here did not write his name on
the paper
and he scored 0%. Who hasn't received his paper yet?”
The whole class echoed:
SULE, na SUULEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!oo
In fact, I was hospitalized for 2weeks.�����������������������

Nice piece. Unfortunately we over here don't see those potentials again and just want to leave because those old thieves in agbada have finished us.

Nigeria has the potential to lead the black race but the fools called leaders will rather die than see us take center stage. They would rather loot to stupor than do the right thing.

God created us with great potential but our problem is that of leadership.
