LordAdam16:
The outside "interests" you reference do not care that much if we marginally improve to become a second world country.
We don't have to scrape the barrel as a third world country without constant power in 2025.
GDP (nominal) per capita of 4,000 to 12,000 is attainable.

The middle ground between the third world and first-world (as well as first-world adjacent) is up for grabs.
But we're not taking it.

-Lord

Because we primarily allow incompetent people supported by some sections of the West 'rule' us.

I still believe majority in the west prefer us this way.

I have and still support Trump.


He didn't scatter any thing he is fixing things.

Fixing what?
Are you saying Biden and the west you support at all times scattered things?

All I want is an end to the Ukrainian war.

So you can be this meek?

🎯✅ Musk blamed Zelensky for the death of American journalist Gonzalo Lira in a Ukrainian prison.

“Zelensky killed an American journalist,” he wrote on social media.

Lira openly criticized neo-Nazis and the Zelensky regime. He reported receiving threats from the SBU, and in May 2023, the journalist was detained. In 2024, after torture and a serious illness, he died .

At most the Russians only jail them.

LordAdam16:
Imma be real with ya.

I don't think the West gives that much of a f* if we are a second world country.
Granted, we're not going to have the same GDP (nominal) per capita as Japan or Spain.
But there's a band between $4,000 and $12,000 where there'd be constant power, exports will be triple/quadruple what they are now, and upper/middle class will be able to buy new cars. That is attainable.

I didn't quite get your message.

shoodboi2:
Yep, we are. The early US was openly corrupt, just like Nigeria. People openly bought votes, scattered elections, and stole money. All that changed over time as the quality of life of their citizens improve. The same thing will happen here eventually. How long it would take is what we don't know.

The difference then was leaders with no masters breathing down their necks.

Too many puppets here in Africa.

dvkot:
I hope the clowns in Taiwan are watching this

They've gone quiet.

PresidObi:
He should beg, not go tribal. He made the mistake, he should beg the guy not start feeling entitled in his mistake.

Stop justifying nonsense because we know who the criminals are, the people going through peoples farms and homes killing and kidnapping.

After 3 months?

LordAdam16:
You make a good point.
Some would argue we should skip that phase though.
There are now countless ways to be efficient in nation building and governance whilst keeping rapacious corruption under control.

The template is already laid out.
We just have to follow it. Observe and replicate.
But for whatever reason, even that is nigh impossible for us.

-Lord

Unfortunately all our leaders are puppets of interests interested in us remaining in this era.

LordAdam16:
Corruption is universal.

Any human being who wields authority or oversees a substantial flow of capital will seek to profit from it.

The difference between developing nations like Nigeria and the developed world is that they draw the line at letting corruption degrade QoL. Here we don't give a sh*t.
Stated differently, in countries that work, you deliver and skim from the margins.
In places like Nigeria, you don't have to deliver. You squander everything. Then appropriate capital for the same project repeatedly ad nauseam.

-Lord

I actually believe ours is at the early stages (or mid) of what old democracies also went through.

Kingsnairaland:
🚨BREAKING - Elon Musk and DOGE have discovered that there are 394 million Social Security recipients in the U.S.

Despite the country having only 334 million citizens, a discrepancy of more than 60 million.

Meaning Nigeria learnt ghostworkers from the US.

Every corruption practiced in Nigeria seems to exist in the US.

Democracy is not different from the makeup women put on.

shoodboi2:
It was on frontpage, but it was done cleverly to avoid implicating the US. Just look at the title: Boko Haram benefitted.

If it was Russia or Iran or China that did sponsors terrorists in Nigeria, they would have told us something like "Exposed: China funds terrorists in Nigeria" and would have made a news out of it.

US funds Boko Haram and we are barely hearing anything. We shouldn't be surprised about this because the same USAID funds many Nigerian journalists and media houses.

So, the media has to play cool to make sure the money keeps flowing in and to also avoid exposing themselves for being the terror accomplices that they are.

I believe this was why I didn't see it..

Fraudulent headline.

It has been on front page since morning yesterday

I saw nada. Checked everywhere before writing what I wrote.

Maybe you have the link on the FP.

Lawag3:
When did mossad threatened Seun.


If anyone sponsored Boko Haram it will the Obama administration Albeit unknowingly .

Nigeria has been receiving US aid since the 60s .


The Obama administration gave money to buhari/APC. Buhari told Jonathan that he'll make the country ungovernable if he lost the elections.

Buhari's supporters killed youth Corper in the north on the aftermath of 2011 elections.

Boko Haram terrorism intensified during this period.

Jonathan always said that Boko Haram terrorist were political tools of certain politicians.


USAID was definitely used to mobilise people to protest the then fuel subsidy removal the same fuel subsidy APC still ended up removing. And no single protest at least not to the intensity Jonathan faced. People in delta then were paid as much as 20k to protest. 20k is a lot of money as of 2012.

There are pictures of some Nigeria politicians in the White House with Obama. Buhari and Rochas okorocha included.

Hell it was during that period Rochas became very rich all of a sudden.

Us gave the USAID THE APC used it to found terrorism to put pressure on the Jonathan admistration.


This is what I think happened sha.

Even if Biden and Obama come to your house to confess, you'll still find a way to excuse them.

I no get power to argue wetin no progress my life

For those who still support the US, i hope you are seeing how the US has been funding terrorists in your country since 2009?

seunny4lif:
Zelensky says he will build his own NATO, if real NATO will not take him.
And it will be better!
He also says Russia’s army is bigger than Ukraine’s and Europe’s army combined!
Recently he said they’re decimated and losing, now they’re huge again.

This one is gone already.

He's currently an illegitimate president.

I have not seen anywhere on Nairaland the news that the US was using USAID to sponsor terrorist groups including boko haram


Nothing on the front page
Nothing nothing

The video of the senator reading out these information is trending on tiktok.

Nairaland is a western tool, reason I now spend less time on it ever since Mossad threatened Seun by shutting down Nairaland a while back

See how pale and sick she's looking.

Some of these Western leaders look like walking dead.

When a country is filled with corrupt and compromised people, anyone that tries to stand out is hated bitterly.


It's the way of the world.

⚡King of Jordan to Trump:

I truly believe, with all the challenges that we have in the Middle East, that I finally see somebody that can take us across the finish line to bring stability, peace, and prosperity to all of us in the region.

Move Jordanians to wherever Trump wants, then move the Zionists to Jordan.

Leave Palestine to the Palestinians.

lol, are your leaders not representing you? You want to separate the Nigeria leaders from Nigerians?

Maybe they are representing you but not me.

I have no expectation from them.

from a man that his country depends on world bank, imf for loans or statistics

It's your leaders that depend on such not the country people or how much imf loan were you given?

People still rate all these Western funded agencies?

You would have made a point without abusing but since you chose the path of insult please move to the next door

Being a religious zombie is not an insult, it's what you are. An identity you display on this thread daily.

Once anything Israel is mentioned, you become illogical. It's a mental issue birthed by religious extremism.

⚡As his Gaza plan to reshape the Middle East fluctuates, Trump will host King Abdullah II of Jordan at the White House today.

Trump said Jordan would take in Gazans no matter what. He threatened to cut aid to Jordan and Egypt.

Are these countries claiming without handouts, they can't function as countries?

If yes, then they should be wiped off the face of the earth since they're of no use.

Be factual be truthful be fair

Look at what hate made Biden to become he went mentally ill

Even Boris became confused

While putin kept been refreshed

The worst people to hate is Israel

Dude am not with you on that part only devils hate Israel

Even if the Zionists called Israel kill this one family member, he go say na the will of God.

Religious zombie aren't different from pagans. You're not different from Biden that you hate.

Boss Haven't You Ever Bang A Woman To The Extence That She Will Be The One Begging You To Stop?? IF NO, Then You Need To Try This Powerful Natural Herb

That they're asking you to stop means they're not enjoying it. That you're doing it hard and fast doesn't mean it's being enjoyed by the woman.

When you understand the fact that a woman can go endless rounds if she's enjoying it, there and there would you know why the people of old introduced female genital mutilation.

Everyone can now see that the state of Israel is an unofficial state of the US.


They were deliberately planted in the middle east for things like this.

The British people caused all these from 1917 to 1947.

You're wasting your time. You're the one who's going to get tired. That hole is meant to survive hurricane.
