Poverty is really disturbing your brain this confused yoonity beggar.

Why is the vanquished now richer than the said victor?
That is a testament to Nigerian fairness and integrity.

It also shows that Igbos are not victimized and oppressed, contrary to your claims and your satanic hatred of the country.


If Nigeria had an IQ high enough to defeat Biafra why are Igbos the richest in while the same Yoruba and Northerners that "won" the imaginary "winning" are now Almajiri scattered everywhere begging for alms and cutting human vigina for rituals? cheesy cheesy
You should worry about all the millions of people in Nigeria and abroad whom your Igbo drug dealers have killed, supplying cocaine, heroin, LSD and other deadly drugs to.

Good. Where is Nigeria's plan to develop in the next 30 years?
Go and ask your state governor his plan to develop your Igbo state without looting.

The Lagos-Ibadan you're talking about, the portion that has been constructed has actually fallen apart even before the work is reaching 25%.
Yawwnnn. That road is being rebuilt after your southern leaders embezzled the money for its rehabilitation. No surprise it's hard to fix given the years of neglect by your PDP that was in power for 16 years doing noting but stealing.

Look at UAE(Dubai), look at yourself and other people who found oil roughly when Nigeria did. Now ask yourself whether Nigeria is developing forward or backwards?
UAE has THREE TMES Nigeria's oil reserves, and exports THREE TIMES more oil and gas than Nigeria per day. Her population is just 10 million.

Expecting Nigeria to be ''like Dubai'' is a sign of your low IQ and ignorance.

Nigeria has never won a win since its useless existence of over 100 years.


Britain (backed by US weapons), Russia, Egypt, Bulgaria with Nigeria fought Igbos for 3 years and we decimated 1m Nigerian soldiers while your own coward soldiers were going about raping innocent little girls, killing civillians and bombing farmlands and hospitals to cause starvation.

If your worthless Nigeria that has 20 military planes ever face Igboland alone, Igbos will not only decimate your shithole terrorist country, we'll pursue coward like you to go live in Niger Republic cos that's where people with your IQ are found. cheesy cheesy

See his small sense. Coward that can't fight ordinary fulani bandits. cheesy
After your leader Ojukwu fled and you surrendered, Gowon declared a No Victor No Vanquished policy, and ordered Nigerian troops to drop their weapons and return to the barracks.

Without that order from Gowon, Nigerian troops would have annihilated the Igbo ethnic group and changed the name of your ciies to Hausa and Yoruba names.

You would not be alive today without that order from Gowon, as your parents would have been annihilated before they could give birth to you..

Dumbo, Nigeria is where China was roughly 30 years ago. China was a developing country with all the problems Nigeria faces.

There was also a time Nigeria had only one expressway. Lagos - Ibadan. Flyovers existed only in Lagos back then.

As for the 'poverty capital' tab, it is based on the NUMBER of people in a country living in extreme poverty, and has NOTHING to do with 'percentages'.

INDIA now has 83 million in extreme poverty, while Nigeria has 70 million, down from the previous 87 million, meaning INDIA is the 'poverty capital of the world' today.

Any other configuration you draw up in your self-hating heads is your business.

The world has said what the truth is.

If YOU decide that 'percentages' is what you use to define your 'poverty capital' then Nigeria is NOT that poverty capital, since there are MANY OTHER COUNTRIES with over 33% extreme poverty.

Somalia for example has 56% of its population in extreme poverty.

Eritrea, 76%

Guinea-Bissau, 65%

Congo DRC, 72%

etc etc

After counting a few exceptional leaders who made a difference in other countries, you still think that Nigerian's problems are not related to lack of quality leadership?

From Confucius to Ghenjis Khan, to Alexander the great, George Washington, to Winston Churchill, to Ghandi, to Mandela: Nigeria has never been blessed with such a visionary leader.
The surprise is why Nigeria is not even worse, despite the machinations against her.
Instead of visionary leaders, we have sectional and tribal leaders who were turned against each other and against their own long run interest by the colonizing power.

Understanding this conudrum is essential for profering solutions on what ails our nation.

Also, when a leader who understands the trap emerges, our chances of getting a Mandela also increases.
I think the closest we came to having such a leader was Gen. Murtala Ramat Muhammed.

The same day this man came to power, corruption and mismanagement literally ended in Nigeria.

That is how uncompromising he was.

But he was assassinated after 7 months in power, reportedly at the instigation of the CIA.

If we are to have such a leader again, he would need to be given ultra-maximum personal security.

That's a great insight. Though it might be difficult to replicate such programme in Nigeria why? Because, the country is made up of various people who don't share same ideology of life. The southerners reason differently from Northerners. As such both north and south may not agree to such programmes. The colonial masters messed everything up. It's only the political class that are enjoying the present situation in the country and they united in looting. Every region should try and work things out for themselves and any region that is not ready to move forward should be left behind. That's my take.
The solution to this cultural disunity is a benevolent dictatorship, I reckon.

I doubt democracy will be able to midwife the task of national re-orientation. It will just lead to disagreements and disputes.

Yea, you are right. In my opinion, it's only the the toddlers that can effectively change this present situation if only the government can start teaching them properly. This is a good thread, thumbs up.
The Chinese did something similar in the last century. In a country reeling with corruption, poverty, and underdevelopment, they introduced Confucian principles in nursery/primary/secondary schools.

Confucius of course was the great Chinese philosopher of 500 BC who set out principles for living, which relate to frugality, wisdom, self-sufficiency, honesty, patriotism, etc. Most Chinese adults of today grew up imbibing Confucian principles. So it can work in Nigeria.

The problem is how do you reach consensus in a democratic setting on how to do it?

Who do we choose to be our 'Confucius'?

Our Ghandi?

Our Mandela?

Will he be acceptable to all regions and religions of the country?

Or perhaps we can create a new thought paradigm without an inspirational personality?

Historically, these attempts at 'social engineering' seem to succeed only under repressive, authoritarian rule.

It's a gradual process, it will take time but don't expect sudden change. Nigerians mindset is already messed up due to successive bad government. It will be nice if you can study Peter Obi's style of governance with an open mind. The most viable solution is to start training the younger ones on the best practices and constants mass media indoctrination of how a normal human should behave. The grown ups are already messed up and I don't see any prospect that an adult even this present generation of teenagers to have a positive change. Things can get better if we start shaping the morals of our future leaders who are presently the toddlers now.
Great contribution, albeit slightly depressing with the thought of having to wait for current toddlers to be future drivers of change.

Regarding the highlighted, I believe Nigerians' minds were messed up by colonialism, not by ''successive bad govts''.

The attitude of preferring foreign made to Nigerian made started during British colonial rule. The colonial govt discouraged Nigerian industry and favoured the importation of just about everything from England, in order to enrich that country. Which of course is the prime objective of every colonial adventure.

A focused leader is not easily influenced by distractors. For example Peter Obi, though not perfect but he's one person that is not easily influenced by people. If we can have such persons in various levels of leadership in Nigeria, I am certain that the country will move forward. No matter how you look at it, leadership is the major thing that can make any nation focused. For example look at China, Russia etc their leaders though not perfect, have a way of ensuring that things work well for their people.
Peter Obi can do nothing to change Nigeria if Nigerians maintain their current habits, in my view.

At most he will achieve cosmetic changes.

He cannot create jobs out of thin air, if Nigerians won't patronise their own products.

Russia and China used raw coercion and barbaric dictatorship and repression to force their people to look inwards. Millions were killed and jailed in the process. Read up on Stalin's tactics.

Our mentality as a people is the No 1 problem we have.

For example, the only reason we have unemployment in Nigeria is NOT because of the usual govt blaming excuses we give, such as ''poor power supply, poor infrastructure, corruption'' etc.

The REAL reason we have unemployment in Nigeria is that Nigerians prefer foreign made goods over Nigerian made goods.

Contrast that with an average Chinese man who will rather buy a 'substandard' Chinese made product, than its western counterpart. He knows that by so doing, he is building up his country's industries, and his children's future.

A typical British man believes that goods made in England are superior to anything made outside, even though that belief is baseless and unfounded.

But Nigerians will laugh at you and mock you if you wear Nigerian made shoes.

''You are wearing Aba made! Local champion. Village man. Poor man!''.

Women will happily pay a million naira or more for a Fendi handbag, but scream blue murder if you charge them 100k for a Nigerian branded handbag.

That one million naira you are sending to Italy, is every bit as corrupt as stealing from the national coffers.

Nigeria could save millions of dollars in capital flight per annum if Nigerian women decided to simply braid or plait their hair instead of importing Brazilian dog hair.

If all Nigerians decide tomorrow that they will only patronise Nigerian made goods, unemployment will disappear overnight and millions of new businesses will spring up to meet the new demand.

In fact, jobs would be so plentiful that we would need to import labour from neighbouring countries to fill positions.

We have no idea how much power we have to transform this nation. Instead we lay everything at the feet of a tiny few people we call ''our leaders''.
