This same attitude that you display here is the same thing you lots export to other people's domain and except to be respected.

You don't get it, do you? We ARE respected overseas. THAT is the point I'm making here, you dunce.

You take happenings in SA and Ghana to conclude that Nigerians are hated all over Africa and the world, because you are IGNORANT and full of self-hate.

MY EXPERIENCE from travelling the world as a Nigerian is that NIGERIANS ARE RESPECTED across the world.

For our education, intelligence, business enterprise, music, culture, football prowess, and Nollywood.

If you go to JAMAICA and tell them you're Nigerian, they will treat you like their long-lost brother.

You will receive nothing but love. They know all our movies, our actors and actresses, and they play all our music, plus many of our doctors, nurses, and teachers/lecturers work there.

We have respected Nigerian professors at the University of the West Indies doing Nigeria proud and educating our Caribbean brethren.

Go to New York City, and if you walk into a hospital and see a black doctor there, there's a 70% chance it's a Nigerian.

I mean, Nigerians have gone too far for TINY GHANA and South Africa to form the image the world has of Nigeria.

Way, way, way too far.

You don't demand respect, you earn it.

We EARNED IT And we HAVE IT.

YOU are living a DELUSION by thinking Nigerians are hated overseas.

In GHANA and SOUTH AFRICA perhaps.

NOWHERE ELSE.


This is DIRECT from the US MEDIA:


''NIGERIANS - THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ETHNIC GROUP IN THE USA''

You thoughtless youths posting rubbish.

The world does not start and end with 'USA'.

There are 194 other countries on earth, are you even aware of that?

Can you name even 30 of those countries?

USA this, USA that.

The USA is the richest country on earth, independent for 350 years, with an annual budget of 7.6 TRILLION dollars.

Nigeria has been independent for 50 something years with an annual budget of 35 billion dollars.

It then becomes DAFT in the extreme, to make comparison threads like this.

Following the recent incident in Ghana involving the shutting of Nigerian-owned shops, and general harassment of Nigerians in that country, I have been reading with increasing frustration and alarm rants and diatribes by various elements on this forum to the effect that Africans hate one another, blacks hate each other, Africans hate Nigerians etc etc etc etc.

Please, Please, Please, Gentlemen (and women too).

Let us stop this nonsense.

Africans do not hate Nigerians.

The ONLY problem we have is GHANA and SOUTH AFRICA.

FINISH.

Let nobody tell you that Africans hate Nigerians.

It is a LIE.

As I'm speaking to you now there are thousands of Nigerians working and trading in Senegal, Ivory Coast, Cameroun, Kenya, Tanzania, Gabon, Gambia, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone, Namibia, Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda, DR Congo, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Angola, etc.

There are Igbo traders working in SOMALIA now, as I'm talking to you.

None of the Nigerians working in these countries has ever complained about being targeted, or of their shops being shut down, or of being asked to drop 1 million dollars before they can trade.

Nigerians are great travellers, and always will be, regardless of the fortunes of the country.

Those who say Nigerians should stay at home are conditioned. Who decided that the space known as 'Nigeria' is where we must all stay in this big world?

Some white guys in smoke-filled Berlin halls 100 years ago?

Are you kidding me?

Before those white men's grandparents were born, the people known today as 'Nigerians' had been travelling the entire world, with no restrictions on their movement.

Igbo traders travelled as far as Congo and East Africa in pre-colonial times.

Yoruba merchants traded as far as North Africa .

Hausas travelled all over the Sahel, Egypt, and as far out as Turkey and Iran.

So NOBODY can tell us all to ''remain in Nigeria''.

They are basically saying ''shut up and stay in the space your white master has allocated to you''.

A disgusting request we totally reject.

The entire world belongs to us, not just 'Nigerian' space.

Anyone who objects, go take it up with the Almighty.

So DEAL with Ghana and SA as we best see fit, but NEVER imagine that what people in those two nations do is reflective of ''all Africa', or ''black people'.

That would be according WAY too much power, influence, credit and respect to a few hapless imbeciles in 2 countries.

Paper work and lies...that's what they are good at.
Go to 90% of nigeria schools and you will find out they this shit has not been implemented. Do they even have history teachers, they will ask chemistry teacher to be taking history or a corper that studied mathematics

Since History was stopped at least 7 or 8 years ago, there will be a lapse before all schools are covered via recruiting the teachers etc. The VP never said every vacancy was filled for teachers. Just that the teaching of History is being reintroduced in schools. We've more than enough History graduates to fill those teaching positions. Don't really see what your problem is. I guess you're one of those that have been conditioned to criticise the govt in any and every circumstance, being Madam Perfect of course.
