Politics / Re: Realities Of Nigeria’s Diminishing Relevance To U.S., Africa By Princeton Lyman by PtePeter1987(m): 8:23pm On Aug 15, 2020 |
favor914: Nigeria is a mockery. It’s not only poor people that say it. Some of us who live outside Nigeria can see it and hear of it. The only people who think Nigeria is anything are Nigerians themselves who continue to celebrate 15 minutes of electricity once a week. In the next few years many countries will begin refusing to allow Nigerians into their territory. Tell me, Apart from Boko Haram and 419, what is Nigeria known for across the world? 1 Like |
Nairaland / General / How Do We Solve The Problem That Is Nigeria? by PtePeter1987(m): 12:28pm On Aug 15, 2020 |
When you ask different people these questions, you are likely to receive different responses, but I will ask these questions again; 1- What is Nigeria’s biggest problem today 2- How do we solve the problem that is Nigeria. I recently began watching Documentaries about different countries and current events. Some in Europe and even as far out North Korea. North Korea as we all know is a secretive state that is under a lot of sanctions. Economically a lot of the citizens live in poverty, but from an infrastructure point of view, some of what they have “built themselves” is remarkable. In Nigeria we have resources, workforce, and brains and yet I cannot help but look at things like the Railway lines the Chinese have built for us and the loans we continue to ask for. Could we not have built it ourselves? Do we not have Nigerian Engineers to do it? The amount of employment it would have created would be enormous and in the process we might have even been asked by other African nations to build for them. Then there’s the state of our Hospitals, Schools, Roads and think of Pensioners who are waiting and waiting for their Pensions. In the 80s China were nothing while we were claiming Giant of Africa. Now, we are still claiming Giant of Africa while we are nothing and China are a super power. In Europe for some time now there’s been the rise of the Far right. Countries like Germany, Slovakia, Austria and even the UK. Most of these people have always hated blacks but now they have a platform and are “legitimised” by Politicians who share their views and the internet that gives them a platform. My heart bleeds when I see what Blacks go through in Europe, America, China and South Africa. But I get angry when I see what we go through in countries like India and the Arabic world. Our people are beaten, harassed, treated like sub human. How did it get this way? Who is to blame? Why are we seen as undesirables? I am aware some of our people go abroad and commit crimes. There are local laws to deal with them and deport them. It should be unacceptable for private citizens to beat up and subject our citizens to some of the things they do. Look at how Chinese citizens in NIGERIA treat our people in their own country. I had a conversation with my parents in Nigeria a few years ago about their Electric bill which arrives steadily but they don’t see electricity. The Meter they were promised and paid for years ago hasn’t arrived. I asked them “ Why do you bother paying the bills? You don’t see electricity and you pay bills, Why?” This I believe is part of the problem with Nigeria. We blame Politicians but forget we put them there. We complain we have no Light and yet we pay the bills we are given. What does it take for Nigerians to wake up. When will Nigerian’s get angry enough to demand change? We accept Politicians commissioning toilets as a big deal. They build a road and we clap profusely. Why do we set our sights so low? Our Politicians are ALL corrupt. All of them. Build no hospitals as they can access health facilities abroad. Maintain no schools as they can send their children abroad. Create next to no meaningful jobs as they don’t need to, they ‘earn’ a ridiculously high wage. Yet we continue to vote these imbeciles in because they make promises and distribute rice and garri. Our focus is on which tribe will get to be president. Not who is the most competent. None of the candidates are competent. Even here there’s tribalism on every other post and yet we complain when other nations discriminate against us when we are experts at it ourselves. How do we reverse the image we have across the world? Nigerians continue to want to flee.. Not all can run away, atleast not legally. Some cross by boat and they’re plastered all over the internet and news outlets which continues to fuel a rise in hatred for those who arrived legally years or even decades ago. 49% of British people polled recently said they had no sympathy for those arriving by boats and even expressed views ranging from ‘Shoot the boats and sink them’ to ‘create a detention camp overseas and keep them all there’. That Green passport we have is genuinely useless. Even in Africa. |

chiommy123: Rape is not increasing, thanks to the internet and social media, news stories are now brought to us so we are more aware. In the past we wouldn’t hear about it unless it happened in our neighbourhood. |
