That's why classifying people by the color of their skin doesn't make sense. Race is largely a social construct .

The picture below is how Europeans looked 8000 years ago

You must have lost your mind to say something like that. You post a photo of an Caucasian and an Australian native, and claim that the native is what Caucasians looked 8000 years ago? Come on man, Caucasians is the product of Africans cross breeding with Neanderthals. Get informed before you start pushing your opinion.

It bothers me that over 50% of the people on my Facebook friends list and here on nairaland use am instead of I'm. What is more ridiculous is that if you try to correct them, they'll tell you that English isn't their mother tongue. What's even more ridiculous is that most of these people speak more English than any other language. Then why not speak or write it well? Ruwanda changed it's national language from French to English within the last decade if I'm not mistaken, and they speak better English on an average than most Nigerians who may have been speaking it for decades and some for scores.

islandmoon:
dont encourage that in your state, it will be a great loss, those are untraceable illegal immigrants, they do not pay tax but move their wheel barrows away when tax collect show up, some of them were used to bombed gadabiu market in Jos, they stationed wheel barrow and walked away, we later hear BOOM!!!!!!!!, they are being used my terrorist!! open your eyes!! I'm sure one those guys who doesnt know what is going on in Jos wrote this!

Besides that, they make everywhere look so phucking dirty. The fools dont contribute to the states igr, but the waste they produce constitute 30% of the reuse that litter the streets. It's like with every forward step taken by the state on cleanliness, these types of people take it two steps backwards.

That story doesn't add up. If what you're saying is true, then tell me this. How comes the screenshots are from swazzi's phone? You guys are suddenly home boys?

If the story is true, then the op could have only gotten the screenshots from his girls phone. In that case, her own messages will be green, and not the other way around.

He is being ruthlessly truthful, but the question is this. Will he forget about this babbling when he wins/if he wins? Currently Buhari's government doesn't even provide the primary needs a government is supposed to provide it's citizens.
Security has deteriorated in his administration (Things are so bad now that some of the killings in the middle belt are not being reported).

Power is being abused rigorously in his administration. Economy is doing worse than it should be, and the pay doesn't reflect the realities on ground; more recently he is making withdrawals from the ECA without telling anyone (what's the difference between our president and a dictator?)

Yes I agree that Buhari has failed in an epic way and he needs to go, but at this point in my stay in Nigeria and after becoming acclimatized to the Nigerian politics, I have to say that I have become pretty pessimistic about what to expect from politicians. So I just got to ask, are the people campaigning for this man really sure that he is the candidate?

I have lost faith in Nigeria months ago. I doubt if this dysfunctional country can function up to par with other countries, and yes it isn't my fault. I wasn't left with a lot of options.

You need to have your brain checked.

F.ucking ret.ard. That bulls.hit didn't happen in Nigeria. It happened in Kenya. The name of the one kneeling is Waititu and the name of the one standing is Kamande. Does that sound anything Nigerian to you or are you high on ecstasy mixed with hypnotics?

PS: Fuc.k nairaland for censoring my choices of words. Even Facebook, Twitter and Instagram don't do that sh!t.

Damn. People like these are the reason we have Global Warming. With a nose like that, these niggas are taking in more oxygen than a 747 engine.

That nigga is at least 30

Or he uses Flint stone to start a fire, because that's free and other fire starters cost money

He has words to celebrate your ignorance with you.

Birds of like feather have always been known to flock together. Continue with your bonding and both rejoice in your ignorance.

Does that change world facts?

See the light, step into it and embrace it, or step back further into the dark and bark at it.

The choice is yours.

IjeleNwa:
he can't just come online and post sensitive issue like that without crystal details to elucidate his point

Don't mind the dude. His brain is antiquated and that's why his reasoning is antediluvian. He failed to evolve

c'mon man, why are you tryna blow the nigga brain with a word like that?
Luckily for him, I'm here to let him know that he can ask Google.

IjeleNwa:
juxtapose your point on this with vivid details

You have to be high out of your God damn mind to even conceive the thought of creating this God forsaken thread. Yes, one was restrained from the bar call with the hijab on, but you know what the difference is? Lemme tell it to you. She got to meet her loved ones the same day. Can you say the same for Leah?

Op I have tried for almost half an hour to see from your point of view, but I simply can stick my head that far up in my a$$.

This argument is a bullsh!t I ain't buying. Go find another d!ck to suck.

Mofe72:
he said 'bleep with' not just 'bleep'.

It can mean to roll with, chill with. Or he feels Simi's music or Simi herself.

E.g I bleep with Kendrick and Eminem madly. Meaning i feel their music.

It rarely means sex

Educate these fools

drakeli:
Non of these countries is as rich as the UK , USA and China in terms of their economic turnover and national reserves. They are simply the countries with the highest GDP per capita. These simply translates that they have very small population compared to their resources. Which means in a lay man language, their population is so small enough for every citizen to have a big share of the country’s wealth more than citizens of other countries . This does not make the total of their wealth up to that of these other countries mentioned above.

You're right. The purpose of posting this article on nairaland however is so that people here will realize subliminally that the problem of Nigeria is not just bad leaders. Over population is by itself another problem. Take a look at it like this. The country can improve the economy considerably but if the population keeps increasing exponentially, it will be really difficult to get the GDP to something impressive.

dam1l0la:


All those countries are lowly populated, that's what makes their money enough when distributed with the population. Nigeria is richer, bjh with high population. I'm saying this in respect of those 10 countries ni o, not comparing with highly populated and yet developed countries like China and US

You are right. What most of those countries have in common is that they are small countries with a small population. This makes distribution of wealth more evenly.

2. Emperor Shenzong of Song – peak net worth: $30+ trillion
Shenzong ruled China from 1067-1085 during the 'Peaceful Prosperity' and 'Primary Abundance' eras when he controlled around 30% of global GDP, the equivalent of $30+ trillion today. Adept at collecting taxes, the emperor's administration wasn't all take, take, take however. Its famous New Policies, which helped improve the lives of the poor, are seen as a forerunner of the modern welfare state.

1. Genghis Khan – peak net worth: $100s trillions
The fearsome Mongol leader conquered a mind-blowing 12 million square miles of land between 1206 and his death in 1227, more than anyone else in history. But while his hordes pillaged their way through huge swathes of Eurasia (the combined continental landmass of Europe and Asia) – territory that is now worth trillions of dollars – Khan didn't actually hoard his spoils, choosing to redistribute the stolen loot and territory among his subjects instead.

6. Mansa Musa I of Mali – peak net worth: $415 billion
Musa I is easily one of the richest people in history, amassing the equivalent of $415 billion during his 25-year reign from 1312-1327. The King of Timbuktu and Malian emperor, who controlled a huge empire which covered much of modern-day Mali and Ghana, had half of the world's supply of gold at his disposal, which was traded with merchants from as far away as Venice, Genoa and Egypt.

5. King Solomon of Israel – peak net worth: $2.2 trillion
According to the Bible, King Solomon ruled from 970 BC to 931 BC, and during this time he is said to have received 25 tons of gold for each of the 39 years of his reign, which would be worth billions of dollars in 2016. Along with impossible riches amassed from taxation and trade, the biblical ruler's personal fortune could have surpassed $2 trillion in today's money.

4. Augustus Caesar – peak net worth: $4.63 trillion
The first Roman emperor, who ruled the vast empire from 27 BC until his death in AD 14, boasted a personal fortune equivalent to 20% of the entire empire's economy, worth $4.63 trillion nowadays. At one point Augustus even owned Egypt. It wasn't to last however. Poor economic performance and a succession of military failures plagued his final years.

3. Akbar I – peak net worth: $21 trillion
Renowned for his lavish lifestyle and patronage of the arts, this emperor conquered hundreds of thousands of square miles of territory and ruled over much of the Indian subcontinent, known as the Mughal Empire from 1556 until 1605. He controlled around 25% of the world's GDP at the time, which would translate to a staggering $21 trillion today.

10. Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII– peak net worth: $230 billion
The last ruler of Hyderabad in India, Khan was absolute leader of the princely state from 1911 and 1948, and for a good part of the 20th century he was known as the richest man in the world with an estimated fortune of $2 billion by the early 40s. This is the equivalent of 2% of the US economy or around $230 billion today.

9. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia – peak net worth: $300 billion
Ill-fated Nicholas Romanov ruled over the Russian Empire from 1894 to 1917, during which time he had full access to the nation's coffers, making him one of the richest monarchs in history. Not one to redistribute his wealth, a 1916 estimate of the tsar's personal fortune equates to $300 billion in today's money.

8. Andrew Carnegie – peak net worth: $337 billion
From humble beginnings in Scotland, Andrew Carnegie led the massive expansion of the US steel industry in the late 19th century, amassing a personal fortune economists estimate would be worth $337 billion nowadays. A full-on philanthropist, Carnegie gave away 90% of his fortune to various charities and educational establishments during the last years of his life.

7. John D. Rockefeller – peak net worth: $367 billion
Widely regarded as the richest American who ever lived, John D. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil company in 1870 and ended up controlling around 90% of the US oil business. Economist Peter Bernstein estimates that the industrialist-turned-philanthropist had a personal fortune of $367 billion in today's money.
