As expected, his offence was that he dared to win.
So much gutter language

ultron12345:
Correct.

Like I always say, there is nothing wrong with the land called Nigeria, there is nothing wrong with River Niger and Zuma Rock. The only problem with Nigeria is the kind of people inhabiting the land. Nigerians are a cancer to Nigeria. There is no major difference between the land Nigeria, and the land Canada. The only difference is that one is occupied by smart people while the other by stupid people.

hustla:

This is a *drops mic* type of writeup

The 'off your mic' saga will have sparked up insane protests in a sane country, same goes for the Ganduje one .. the snake swallowing money one and countless others

Nigeria can never be good, that is the plain truth

40 years from now, we will still be saying the same thing

Someone was telling me about a Nigerian that got a political position in Canada and made a statement "that he hopes, one day, Nigeria will start to reward merit". I told the person that I don't agree. Nigeria cannot reward merit, neither can Canada. These are just lands. It is the inhabitants of Canada, Canadians that recognize and reward merit. The inhabitants of Nigeria on the other hand, prefer nepotism. Nigerians do not recognize and reward merit, but you'll see Nigerians saying "Nigeria", trying to dissociate themselves from the problem.

Again, I'm usually shocked at how boastful Nigerians are. Someone up there said Nigerians are the most hardworking and honest people.... Lol.
Nigerians will claim they're the smartest, most intelligent, most hardworking people in the world. It's surprising how a people that cannot manufacture ordinary toothpick believe they're more intelligent than people that are traveling into space. People with productivity per capita of $2000 believe they're more hardworking than Americans, Japanese, Singaporeans with productivity per capita of $62000, $39000, and $64000 respectively. A country of 200Million of the "most hardworking and smartest individuals in the world" has a GDP of $400B, while a country of 35Million "less hardworking and less smart" Canadians have GDP of $1.7Trillion. Just 8.5Million Swiss people make GDP of $705B, far more than 200 million of the so-called "most hardworking and smartest individuals in the world". Dr Ola said on twitter that there's no evidence that for Nigerians being the most enterprising people, not when you have the Jews, Lebanese, Indians. You can even see their exploits here in Nigeria.

Nigerians will give excuse of "environment", saying the Nigerian environment is bad. The reason the Nigerian environment is bad is because Nigerians failed to build a good environment. The good environment in US, UK, China, Norway, Canada did not fall from heaven, it was built by Americans, Britons, Chinese, Norwegians, and Canadians respectively. Upon the good environment in the UAE, Malaysia and other countries, Hushpuppy and other Nigerians still go there to do rubbish. Hence, I'm not surprised Nigerians are being banned everywhere.

Excelling abroad ke? Nigerians just like to make noise. Did you know that among US immigrants, Nigerian American immigrants are not even among the top 60 in terms of median household income. The Indians, Chinese and co top that list. Even amongst Africans, South African Americans, Egyptian Americans and Ghanaian Americans earn more than Nigerian Americans (who actually earn less than the overall American average). Whatever you think Nigerians are doing abroad, others like the Indians, Chinese, Lebanese have done far far more. Just that Nigerians like to make more noise.

Next, they'll be pointless their crooked fingers at the leaders. And I ask, are the government not Nigerians, are the leaders not from amongst the people. All the looting politicians, all the SARS that are killing, that did not come from another planet, they are all from amongst the citizens. They are a microcosm, a cross-section of the citizens. They say they apple does not fall far from the tree. A multitude of demons cannot give rise to angels as leaders. Bad citizens will always give rise to bad leaders.


Nigerians are just a failure of a people, that's why Nigeria is the way it is today.

NB: I never said there are no hardworking, smart, intelligent Nigerians. I only said that these set of Nigerians constitute a very tiny minority of Nigerians, far less than 10%. And if 90% of a product is defective, it's fair to say the entire product is defective.

DexterousOne:
And all his wrong policies are testament to it

I get it

You are his fanboy....
But do some deep thinking

Will you confidently say that he has done a good job in his 5 years plus of his presidency.

His report card comes to my desk every quarter
And he gets F9 back to back


You have the right to call it whatever you like
But many of us know that the man is failed president

Nigsrdumb:
I agree with you completely.

Quick question though, do citizens fix society or government, who has the power to effect change?

ahiboilandgas:
my partner stood as surty for a transporter and he stole/diverted 2 trucks of pms worth 12.5m .....the men in black are demanding 10 percent of recovered sum at their cut .....the Nigeria lawyer is advising him to accpet and also fund the expense of the operation......both lawyer and the men in black and the theif are all Nigerians ..no American dey.

Dum20:
Please stop generalising things.

A Nigerian woman once headed NAFDAC and those people making and selling fake drugs were run out of business.

Did you put the right people to head these agencies? Are they being run properly?

But stop saying bad things about Nigerians.

I have said it before, Nigerians are one of the most hard working people in the world and they are honest. Provide them the right environment and they soar

DexterousOne:
I still believe something can be done to af least salvage some of Nigeria

But Nigerians need to first learn how to hold elected officials to account
And know that the office they occupy is not a throne.


Imagine Nigerians thinking it's okay for the president fo treat us with disdain by not addressing us periodically

He is aloof, with impunity

And the masses are not angry, or dont feel insulted

hustla:
The thing is Poverty of the mind needs to be changed

You'll see people wallowing in the rubbish called Federal schools with their toilets that look like the ones in Mogadishu claiming that 3rd class is 1st class in private schs

Problem is that the private schs in Nigeria are just like the regular colleges abroad

How do you want people who reason like the above to think they deserve better and demand for it? The problem is in the mind and the poverty mentality

Whoever was dumb enough to leave their fx at the bank is devoid of sense and my condolence.

What about the president that just award contract to build rail way from Nigeria to Niger republic when all the south south, south west and other region.


And what's the economic sense in what buhari is doing it.

What in practical terms can be done about this human resource?
How can the mindset be changed in the next 10 years?
I think every Nigerian is involved in asset stripping in one way or the other, but what can be done or do we just give up?

ahiboilandgas:
do u why Jumia had to stop pay on delivery ...it either some small boy ordering 4 iPhone and killing the delivery man or jumia delivery defective or fake items to you after payments......

Asset stripping, everyoone believing that they must get their share of National cake by hook or crook. Really used too be a lot of killings of delivery guys not too long ago.
Like you were saying yesterday, these are done by Nigerians, not Americans or Japanese.
But the question still remains, what can we do to change this mindset? Any ideas? You usually have practical solutions to things.

Tochex101:
I was also thinking about this last night....
I think the answer is Education.....the adults are almost beyond saving but the kids and younger generation can be saved.
We have to reform education, its system, curriculum and staff, attention should be paid to moral grooming.

In Japan the kids clean their schools themselves, sweep, mow the lawn, clear ice and wash their toilets themselves.....they are taught responsibility and dignity in Labour.
