Africans who took polio, small pox and tuberculosis vaccines as kids complaining about a vaccine they cannot produce. A disgraceful continent that should be recolonised

The issue on the African continent is the people feel the West wants to always kill them, or turn them to zombies when they talk of drugs or vaccines. As pointed out by the lady, if that was the aim it would have been achieved a long time ago, the continent is just shameless and useless to the rest of the world.

Karlovich:
Too bad she said the truth, only brainless morons like Lai and his African colleagues will argue with her. A certain shithole in west Africa can't even generate steady electricity for its people, sustain a decent health care system or create adequate road network for them. Even drinking water is luxury is a lot of places there.

A country that has to depend on aids from foreign countries to survive, and bail themselves. Nigeria is just a joke of a nation, and I am glad that several others know this too.

Aconomist:
Exactly, these terrorist monkeys in the shahel are basically inviting Western armies back into Africa. If you look at a map, Nigeria is already surrounded by French armies in Niger, Cameroon an Ivory Coast. The American have a drone base in Niger that can strike any target in West Africa.

Western Armies can't invade and occupy Africa like they have done in the past.

StaffofOrayan:
A time would come,( that is if it hasn't come already) when like the Berlin conference, Africa will be enslaved all over again,

I opened Aljazeera tonight and the first news was 100 civilians killed in Niger Republic,

We all better wake up and start demanding to be away from the North and her blood thirsty neighbors

In the case of what this woman said, this isn't just a Nigerian problem but an African problem, or is Northern Nigeria in every country in Africa?

Aconomist:
That's the best thread I've seen all year. Africans are so worthless. Always playing the victim while producing nothing.

Yeah, we're always quick to blame the rest of the world for our woes but fail to hold our leaders accountable, and when some hold the leaders accountable some others will tag it "witch hunting".

Praxis758:
DSS should arrest this woman asap abusing the intelligence of millions of Nigerians.

I'm sure president Buhari won't tolerate this abuse. Buhari should prosecute her for insulting the Nigerian presidency.

Garba Shehu, Femi Adeshina and Lai Mohammed should come up with essay to debunk all the retrogressive insults posted by this woman.

I see what you did there, nice one.

buttlover:
her tiny breast and skinny butt. anyway I like homely women not workaholics

You must be a perv to have gone that far to notice such features. She made an argument and all you could come up with was talks about her body, and she being homely or not.

Maybe, she was right Africans like giving birth a lot.

softset:
Don't be surprised the writer of this piece is a Nigerian trying hard to drive home a point.

There are smarter ways of passing out your information

No, she isn't and the post wasn't targeted at Ngierians only but the whole continent.

Poloyanabo2:

A dirty racist post like this shouldn't be on Nairaland, at least I'm using dabur herbal,
This girl

Learn to come to terms with the truth.

The Garden City ❤.

Ibrahimmrfish:
Sorry my bad,i didn't take my time read.I apologize for my harsh word.

It's all good my man ✌.

Ibrahimmrfish:
It clear that u are the one that has no idea.

Please read my statement again, and assimilate properly. I was praising you and you want to go ballistic.

Turkey is no match for France. It's just a noisy empty vessel. Some countries love to appoint themselves as rivals of countries they can never compete with and troll them.
Be it Turkey towards France, Pakistan towards India, Philippines towards China, Ukraine towards Russia, and North Korea towards the US. They don't have any influence on their stronger counterparts except news headlines. Coz Turkey, Pak, Ukraine, or DPRK stand nowhere against their larger enemies in any aspect.

I can agree with you that most of these countries are no match for the people they pick on but Turkey can stand toe-to-toe with France. They both have one of the world's most powerful military, and economy.

Turkey will have a huge influence on French colonies in Africa, which are mostly Muslim majority and that's where the Turks will have an upper hand. I don't foresee a military showdown between the two, maybe we would see some sort of cold war and proxy war on foreign soil.

Pakistan may be able to hold their own against India militarily from what I have seen of recent.

Iran has a large military only by standards of the Islamic world where other most countries are failed states, not a large military per global aspects.

Their milliary products are just lower quality license-produced copies of Russian and Chinese equipments. If you ever have a dig, see specifications of their weapons, missiles, space launch vehicles, and general scientific equipment. They are just a small prototype version of Russia.

While Iran's military assets may be substandard, they seem like a decent ally in the Gulf region due to them not being compromised by the West. We already have military pacts with Egypt and Saudi Arabia, but these two countries hardly have a mind of their own they bend to whatever direction the West dictates.

You are going to be a place of quest for influence for China, India and ASEAN and maybe even USA. You are Africa's most populous country, will match China and India in population by century end, and will be a great market for these countries. Over it, you may possess a significantly large military worth of notability in operations around Africa.

India is already Nigeria's largest trading partner, and China also wants a piece of that pie from all indications. America may not be a serious partner for Nigeria even in the nearest future, Nigeria would most likely turn to Asia to find new friends.

Nigeria's military would need to grow larger in terms of manpower, and arsenal to project the kind of power that would make it feared on the African continent. If they can ward off Western Armies successfully off the continent, and also intervene swiftly in times of trouble then we would return to the position of the "Big Brother of Africa" sooner than expected.

You are even more important for our India as you are an alternative source of oil instead of Islamic middle-east countries which tend to support Pakistan and ogle us in the Kashmir issue. So, India may even do more to snatch you from China until you go for "Islamic brotherhood" with Pakistan.

Yes, India will be our long-term friends economically I do hope it transcends to other partnerships such as a military pact. The same reason Nigeria won't side Palestine is also the same reason we won't take a side in the Pakistan/Kashmir affair. Once Nigeria supports a region or self-determined state, it will propel several secessionists movements across
country.

They will be your competitors and equal collaborators like Japan, UK and France are towards each other today.

We would be at loggerhead most of the time but I would like to be more of partners instead of rivals. The competition may not be as fierce as that of France, and Britain though.

Rossintii:
I agree with this.

What 'aid' does the west even provide Nigeria? Probably some token amount.

It still counts though but I think we can do without it, and live without them.

Rossintii:
You know your geopolitcs, unlike 99% of NL.

Thank you.

Ibrahimmrfish:
Hezbollah mission is to defend Lebanese boarder from land grabbing Israel, how are they terrorists and the aggressor not.

Kudos, you understand what Hezbollah is all about.

BUSHHUNTER:
The way you people advertise Canada is so so overrated!! been to Quebec where everyone speaks French it's so fvcked up! language barriers, bad weather, quiet neighborhood... Mississauga, very expensive, unfriendly folks, strict laws etc.. they need educated and skilled immigrants in that country!



Please quit the hype!!!! USA over Canada anytime any day!

The U.S lacks a national health care scheme that's why many Americans are seeking a second visa.

Mikehot:
Hezbollah is another Terrorist organization backed by shite Iranian regime to control the gulf and launch its proxy attacks to Israel and other threats to the Iranian regime

Hezbollah is first a political party before anything else. Hezbollah wasn't formed to counter Israel and other Iranian threats.
The reason for forming Hezbollah was to protect the Shitte minority from a largely Sunni dominated Middle East.

America also sponsors terrorist groups by arming them, such as the case of rebels armed by America to overthrow Assad in Syria, and the Kurds (though not terrorist groups in real sense) were also armed by the U.S and its allies.

royalads:
Are you being sarcastic or is stupidity and wickedness embedded in your DNA?. Days ago, you opened a thread making inquiries on how to travel to Malta, meanwhile you are here with your stoopid self advising another that wants to do same to stay and start a business. Are you allergic to staying back in Nigeria to start a business yourself? This is why I don't seek counsel from the average Nigerian. https://www.nairaland.com/6060595/anyone-here-living-malta

Anybody that wants to leave Nigeria legally should please leave. This country has absolutely nothing to offer anybody right now.

Nigerians always find a way to crack me up. Thank you for your discovery.

The Great White North

Efewestern:
Nice analysis, but Iran isn't the perfect partner we need ATM, we have a fragile economy, any little sanction from the west might put us in a very bad state, an example is Lebanon. Allowing Iran into our space will send a wrong signal.

And besides, they are not interested in what n Africa, their major goal is to dominate the Middle East.

We can learn a two from them... admire their scientific growth despite the many challenges and also how they kept nepotism far away from important sectors e.g military/defense.

@bolded, China might not be the perfect partner also, topic for another day. I wish we look more inwardly whilst keeping an open relationship with everyone.

Who do you suggest we make our strategic partners?

I would have put Turkey in place of Iran but I don't think we need to worry about the Turks because they will naturally come to us due to their rivalry with France, and our long-standing rivalry with France (In realpolitik an enemy of my enemy is my friend).
Iran made my list because we have almost the same situation but the Iranians have learned how to develop and adapt in such a situation, and they possess a large military.

I put India there because they're our largest trading partners and I foresee a future where we also become partners militarily and align our other interests.

I put China on the list because we are obviously in an "unhealthy romance" with them economically, and I would like to see it go beyond just that, I hope it transcends to other things. The Chinese are going to conquer the world sooner or later, and it will be nice if we would be in their good books.

I feel Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa are other countries that would make good partners if Nigeria is to be a force to reckon with on the international scene.

Mikehot:
They don't have the intention of stopping Boko Haram all they want is some form of deal with the fg pretending to end terrorism so they can use the new found cooperation to normalise fg attitude to shites.

Iran is the sponsor of Hezbollah in Lebanon which is a designated Terrorist organisation by the usa

What is the function of Hezbollah in Lebanon? Please give me your personal opinions and not that of the American media.

Iran will annihilate BH because they're a Sunni backed group, and sure they will use it to negotiate a soft landing for the Shiites (At last they're lesser headache than the Sunnis).

Mikehot:
I laugh if you think Iran would help stop jihad.

They don't have a problem with Boko Haram they just looking for a cheap avenue to fortify their shities brethen

And you've just answered the question. BH is the only terrorist group ravaging Nigeria, so if they settle their score with BH then we are free from terrorism, or is there any other terrorist group I don't know of that exists in Nigeria?

I will give the Pros and Cons of an agreement such as this.

Pros:

If Iran gets into this fight they wouldn't spare BH, and every other terrorist group because they are linked to the Sunnis. Expect the fight to have a religious look but I think the Iranians will deliver.

Cons

Nigeria will fall out of favor with the West, and this will mean less aid for Nigeria.

If Nigeria wants along term partner, they should forget the West and look in the direction of Iran, India, and China. If Nigeria and the aforementioned countries can be on par or even close to each other in terms of development and military might, then we would be feared and respected by the world. This is a really good move from Tehran.

Sonyboom:
NL as been hijacked by lunatics PDP groomed from alaigbo. They are naturally senseless and hopeless. The more reason it is a waste debating intelligently with then here. Dead brain such as the lunatic like Pachukwuddie77 firefire SmartPolician n co just to list a few.

This here is an example of what the Op was talking about.

SmartPolician:
Like I always tell anyone who cares to listen, Nairaland represents the real Nigeria that we fear to admit.

Most Nigerians are hypocrites and bigots - the traits that they cannot openly display. However, Nairaland offers them that faceless platform where they can say it the way it is.

Nigerians are mediocres, hypocrites, religious fanatics, and the list goes on. We are going to have to live with that forever.

Even Nairaland that does not incorporate any new features year in, year out is a typical example of what's wrong with the country - no new ideas, no innovation.

Every business, including Nairaland, is just a cash cow and their owners don't make room for research and improvement.

You've understood the forum. It represents our true nature, that we enjoy hiding to look like saints.

Rossintii:
The 2 main problems with the site are that 1) The Politics section is an absolute disgrace, infested with unrestrained ethnic bigotry, hatred, and abuse, with no moderating oversight worthy of the name. And 2) The front page is a joke, filled with trashy stories mostly, with little or no intellectual merit or emotional value.

You're also a part of the problem you highlighted.

Good morning all, and Happy New Year. I think my family and I have got the Covid-19, and we have been self-isolating for a while now. We are yet to go for the tests but we have started several home remedies given to us by survivors of the Covid-19, such as consumption of ginger, and garlic.

Please if there are any survivors of the Covid-19 in the house, I would like to know the steps you took to get better and possibly drugs/other forms of treatment you used. Thank you in advance
