African leaders only good at taking pictures, eating and marrying wives. Not development. Oh don't forget stealing.

STFU. 6 of the world's 10 fastest growing economies are in AFRICA. Africa IS developing.

If it wasn't you'd be an illiterate village hut dweller like your grandparents.

zaramgrand:
Please is President Buhari the only Muslim President in this world?
Why can't he wear suits like others na
This man is irritating

No. YOU are irritating as well as foolish. Nigerian presidents MUST wear our traditional Nigerian attire. Not western suits. If you don't like it, go and apply for visa to live in Australia or US.

Dosmay:
see Men in suit, see weitin baba dey wear

Get rid of your complex.

mars123:
Praise yourself all you want. It doesnt change our status as shithole of Africa. The country so much was expected of but didnt even offer little.

SHUT THE FCK UP. NIGERIA IS AFRICA'S BIGGEST ECONOMY, AND NIGERIA IS AN IMPORTANT AND HIGHLY RESPECTED POWER ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT.

Bashamoto:
Do you ever ask the queen of England to resign from office,?
His people are enjoying him, he's an African that values black heritage, white will never address African problems. Trump's speech is of no use to us, because they say one thing and do worst things behind. �
Mugabe continue Baba!

Thanks for teaching these ones sense.

I bet you Mugabe is NOT really sleeping there.

All he's doing is showing his disdain and disinterest in the garbage Trump is spewing. The USA is currently imposing harsh economic sanctions on his country, together with Britain. His reaction is fully understandable. Those criticising Mugabe should go and dash their own land and houses to white men. He said ENOUGH of that in Zimbabwe, and is redistributing the land to the majority blacks. That is why the US and UK hate him, and demonise him, but the rural Zimbabwean majority keep voting for him, and he keeps winning, because he saved them from perpetual slavery to the white minority, who previously held 90% of the land. So Mugabe is an African hero. Those criticising him here are ignorant slaves to the BBC, CNN, white man's version of the news. They need to research the true story of Zimbabwe.

Mugabe spent 20 years in the bush fighting the white rulers in the Rhodesian war of Independence. He has bullet wounds all over his body. When the blacks won the war, the country became Zimbabwe. But Mugabe did not fight only to become a ceremonial president, while economic power remained with the white minority. He said NO. True freedom means redistribution of national resources so everyone's life is touched.

That is what you call a leader. Not these ones that are ready to sell their country to the first white guy that comes along with some dollars. Not these nairaland kids who have never fought 20 minutes for their country, not to talk of 20 years.

RomeSankara:
You people are so hateful of Trump that you will to support a rogue regime in North Korea which is actually the one making nuclear threats and not Trump , all Trump has said is that if Kim Jong dares attack the US or any of it allies he will be destroyed by a Superior US led offensive ...so Mr man how is Trump the problem here ?

Trump did not say ''if the US or its allies are attacked''. He said something along the lines of ''If the US or its allies are threatened'' by North Korea, he would destroy the country.

Those are two very different statements. Under the second, ''threatened'' can mean ANYTHING, from a mere statement by the North Korean leader, to a missile test. That is where the danger lies. Trump can wake up tomorrow and decide that anything constitutes a 'threat' to the US, and start WW3, or even nuke that country. If he does that, China and Russia will activate their defence pacts with North Korea, and fight on its side.

Right now the US are a law unto themselves, and with Trump at the helm - a rash, vindictive, arrogant, loud and thoughtless man with neo-nazi sympathies, a man whose own countrymen are questioning his sanity, a man who has previously said he doesn't rule out the use of nuclear weapons, now holds the nuclear codes and has the legal right to order the launch of those nukes without consulting congress or anyone else..

That is all very shaky ground on which to place the safety of the world, and YOUR safety, isn't it?

Op stop posting fake news. The EU never made any such statement. Why do you need to lie to support your cause?

baralatie:
does it warrant north Korea sending a missile over Japan twice and detonating a nuclear bomb close to China border

Insofar as North Korea has not attacked anyone, they can do whatever the hell they like. What warrants the US sending ships and military bases all around that region? What are they doing there? If China began conduct military drills with Canada near the US border, how will the US react? You think they will not conduct a show of force to deter any possible invasion?

Think, and stop being a slave to one side.

I am starting to think that the USA is indeed the "Babylon the Great" of Revelations, which will be brought crashing down due to her iniquities. Hope the bible God does it before they can destroy the rest of the world.

sexy74:
I see you that is diplomatic cursing and cling someone dumb? Please read read through what you wrote if your write up is diplomatic to your fellow man (me).
Seems yiy are a supremacist , you believe you know all and knows how and what someone should be thinking about.
Please grow up and learn proper diplomacy by being civil in your write up and utterances.
I rest my case with you

My role is NOT to be diplomatic with you, but to INFORM you of the danger you are in. And yes, you ARE dumb. Anyone who cannot see that Trump is a danger IS DUMB. Instead of supporting a madman in power, why not go and research him to learn what he is about? You are advocating I "learn proper diplomacy", while supporting the most undiplomatic, rash, and lunatic president in US history, who commands the nuclear codes. That's dumb.

sexy74:
If a lunatic can be the president of the world most advanced country and you are here insulting him, brother think properly.
Even if you dont like his ideologies does not mean you insult him.
He being blunt does not make him mad or stupid.

Now YOU are being dumb. His being "blunt" is his being MAD. Understood? In a world of disparate interests, the most powerful nation being "blunt" as opposed to diplomatic is a recipe for global annihilation. Global nuclear catastrophe. It will lead to Your demise. Get it? Take the Iran nuclear deal for instance. He described it as an embarrassment to the US. This is utter garbage of course. But he sounds like he wants to tear that up, so he can attack Iran. North Korea? He is talking of destroying it. Do you know North Korea has a military defence pact with China and Russia? If Trump launches a pre-emptive strike on North Korea, those two nations will fight for North Korea. Meaning WW3. And you are calling the MADMAN responsible for this slide to disaster merely "blunt"?

I mean, I really don't know what blinds so many of you to the danger of this situation. Keep taking things for granted till that mushroom cloud envelopes your house.

sexy74:
You dont have to insult to make your point.

YOU HAVE TO, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE STUPID. Here we are with a MADMAN in power in the US, with the nuclear codes at his fingertips. And you are talking of being polite? He is the most dangerous man on the face of the earth right now, and if the millions of dumb idiots who support him do not demand his removal, he could lead us to global annihilation.

Americans - the brainless moro.ns who voted for him. A recent poll was conducted in which only 12% of them were aware that the the US president has the right to unilaterally launch nuclear strikes without seeking permission from Congress or anybody else. 12%. So here we have a manifestly unqualified lunatic with the nuclear codes. An ignorant electorate who voted him in, "not knowing" that he had the sole power to kill them all, and we should be "polite"? It is a fu.ckin.g emergency.

Getintouch2004:
Lol, i see Kim testing another Missile before the week runs out. That man dey find trouble sha.

He is not looking for trouble. He is defending his country against US aggression. The US has been conducting military drills with South Korea for decades, and that is a threat to North Korea. They have every right to defend themselves. If a foreign rival like China starts conducting joint military drills with Canada, near the US border, how do you think the US will react?

baralatie:
naaah!
President Trump comments on Kim,Iran and Venezuela was expected!
President Trump was also strong about efforts by countries who have done one great thing or another for their citizens and for world peace

Some of you are so stupid. What difference does it make if Trump's dangerous and provocative speech was "expected" or not? What difference does the other nonsense you wrote about "world peace" make when Trump himself is a raging lunatic looking for war and destruction everywhere?

OjukwuWarBird:
You expect Trump to twit about a Jihadist


Trump knows what is happening in Nigeria and does not love Buhari

Trump doesn't know what's happening in America, it is Nigeria he knows about? SMH.

Ezechinwa:
Please i need someone to educate me "Why are Igbo's referred to as IPOB", it sounds rude but i need to be sure why that name IPOB is used instead of IGBO?

finally, I hope Igbo's, Yoruba's and Hausa's can stop hating each other, we don't choose other nationality,skin color, religion, etc, so its stupid for any group of people to just hate a certain group of people for no reason.

the only reason Africans don't produce Cars, Phones and technological gadgets is simply because, An Average White man spends his lifetime trying to build things that can change the world, but an Average Blackman spends his lifetime hating on one another and always blaming spirits for every bad thing that happens to him.

one more thing,
my brothers and sisters, abeg help me beg Costa to come back to Chelsea, Morata is still a learner.

Dummy. Ever heard of INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing and Zinox Computers? Are the cars, SUVs, buses, computers, tablets, and laptops produced by them done by ghosts? Is it not Africans producing them?

abdulo4real:
they will so deal with us eenhhh!!

Not necessarily. Don't underestimate the Super Eagles. We have beaten Spain at World Cup level.

I actually think our current first team is becoming better than that 1998 team that beat Spain.

OP has a point. Igbos cannot claim to be Jews and yet claim to be indigenous to the region they currently occupy. Personally I doubt the Igbos or even the Yorubas and Edos, were in their current abodes before the 12th century. They are migrants from the Middle East and Egypt, most of them. Original Africans in the West African sub-region are to be found among the Hausa, South Sudanese, Nubians etc.

Kai......this woman. Her own level of greed is something else. Are you sure she hasn't got a mental problem? I just don't see how a normal person - a woman for that matter - can be this greedy. She must have zero spirituality in her, and no conscience whatsoever. Terrible.

comshots:
He keeps attending conferences abroad but doesn't obey court orders.If UN tell him to free Biafra he go begin vex because of say the crude oil money Na hin he dey take treat his failing health in London hospital while he abandon aso Rock clinic.

We know the reason you want Biafra is to steal the oil belonging to the Rivers people. Oil thief. Come carry.

PointZerom:
Just like Buhari who left Boko Haram and bombed IDP camp.

I don't see the connection.

PointZerom:
Kanu is son of the soil, having a British citizenship does not in anyway stop him from what he's doing. Does your Lugard speak any of your languages?.

What difference would it have made if Lugard spoke Igbo or Yoruba? He was there to serve British interests, regardless. I don't think Kanu being a "son of the soil" means a damn thing. Hitler was a "son of the soil" in Germany, yet he created mass casualties and mayhem. Ojukwu was a "son of the soil" yet his crass decision to take on the Nigerian military without any weapons led to the death of 2 million Igbos.

PointZerom:
It doesn't matter whether he has British or American citizenship, what matters is his determination to see that his people are been liberated. Lord Lugard and his wife that gave you a country and name her after a river hope they have your village citizenship?.

If Kanu is no different from Lugard then why are you following him?

Hang on a minute.. Why should "Nigeria" be to blame for the Benue government's neglect? This is one of our major problems. Everything is a 'national' issue. Everything is a problem with "Nigeria". Courts in Lagos, Anambra, Edo State, Oyo State are not in that condition, but they must all take the blame as "Nigeria" for the actions or inactions of the Benue state govt. Why?

Apart from feeding a national inferiority complex, this habit exculpates those responsible for the neglect - the Benue state govt - while extending blame instead to "Nigeria", and that means it becomes nobody's responsibility. We must stop that habit. Put the blame directly where it lies, and leave "Nigeria" out of it.

handsomebanana:
Illiterate -- Yup.

Let's just throw words around like its nothing without knowing d real meaning.

Has anyone told you that you're so photosynthetic?

STFU. Trump is an illiterate. You are an utter disgrace for even challenging that fact. Have you heard him speak? Scholars of linguistics say his speech standard is below primary school level.

ayokellany:
But then when will the lunatics ruling Nigeria understand they need to develop Nigeria ? I clearly remember those days I was invited to visit Dubai and I would query if Dubai is now Europe or the USA alas the day I visited Dubai to Abu Dhabi I understand glaringly that many Europe countries will NEVER be as modern developed as the UAE..

Mr Man, don't you have common sense?

What is the population of UAE? Is it even up to 5 million people? Yet they have, and export 3 times more oil than Nigeria.

Why will their country not look like heaven?

What else will they do with their money if not to make their country look like heaven?

Their leaders can loot even three quarters of the national income (which they do), and there would still be more than enough money for everyone there to drive a Rolls Royce.

You people need to THINK before you start comparing this place to that place. Everyone's condition and story is different.

onila:

But they ''controlled it'' from 1897 to 1960 (63 years) and we were an underdeveloped bush when they left, with no power stations, no infrastructure, no universities, no industries.

So you must be really really thoughtless and daft to be suggesting they come back and ''control it'' again.

Here's a lesson for you: Do not assume that a govt will work wonders simply because of the skin colour of its operatives.

Governments do well, or badly, depending on the INTERESTS of those in power.

NOT their skin colour.

The INTERESTS of the British colonialists was NOT to develop Nigeria, but to loot it for raw materials to feed British industries.

There is no reason to suppose that those interests have changed or will change, if they return to rule Nigeria.

The INTERESTS of the white rulers of South Africa was to develop South Africa, which they took to be their land, by virtue of the large scale settlement of whites there in the 19th and early 20th centuries. So they reinvested the export proceeds into South Africa right from the start, which is why it ended up a developed nation as early as the 1950s.

So you must discover WHY somebody might want to rule your country, and then decide accordingly, rather than NAIVELY assuming that their skin colour being white means they will rule your country 'properly'.

Understood?

THIS THREAD SYMBOLIZES WHY THIS COUNTRY HAS PROBLEMS. THE PEOPLE'S MINDSET IS PROGRAMMED TO FAILURE. THEY VIRTUALLY USE THEIR OWN MINDS TO CREATE FAILURE.

AS WITHIN, SO WITHOUT. IF ALL YOU SEE IS FAILURE, ALL YOU WILL GET IS FAILURE. THE UNIVERSE WORKS LIKE A MIRROR. IT GIVES YOU BACK WHAT YOU GENERATE FROM YOUR OWN SELF. NIGERIANS NEED TO LEARN THAT LESSON.

THIS IS THE SAME COUNTRY THAT HAD NO FUNCTIONAL RAILWAY SYSTEM JUST 3 YEARS AGO.

TODAY, WITH THE SYSTEM BEING RESUSCITATED AFTER 30 YEARS, THEY ARE ASKING WHERE IS THE BULLET TRAIN?

I MEAN, I'M JUST LOST FOR WORDS FOR THE LEVEL OF UNINTELLIGENCE DISPLAYED BY OUR SO CALLED 'YOUTH', MANY OF THEM OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER. PITY.

DutchBruh:
Nigerian billlionaires are conduits for corrupt Heads of State.

American billionaires are conduits for corrupt bankers and the military-industrial complex.

DutchBruh:
Bill Gates,Zuckerberg,Richard Branson,Jeff Bezoz,Warren Buffet etc. Goverments created the right business enviroment. Nigerian billionaires became fronts for corrupt dictators and Presidents to launder their loots so were handed oil blocks and monopoly over industries.

Shut the fck up. ALL bilionaires, including the above, have benefitted from an unequal system, both at national and international level. The reason the US can create so many billionaires is because of the inequality of the international economic order, as propagated by the international banking system, the World Bank, IMF, Paris Club etc, where multinationals are granted overriding power to skew international power dynamics in their favour, while developing nations are forced to play a game they had no hand in creating.

agabusta:
Its seems a good move on the surface, but I hope FG wont get their hands burnt at the end.

Personally, I have some reservations about this. I dont trust that Dangote dude, he will get triple or quadruple benefits from this in addition to the fact that all the materials to be used will be supplied by his company.

But you don't mind if a white company comes from Europe to get that contract and make those same benefits.

We are our own worst enemies sometimes.
