Yet this is the same Nigeria some imbeciles say they want to break up.

When you break up and become another Gambia or Sierra Leone, who will notice if you close your border or even care?

Another dumb thread drowning in inferiority complex and ignorance.

RTSC:
Europeans style football wins real trophies, not afcons...

Empty headed buffoon. So AFCON is not a ''real trophy?''

Stupid cow drowning in inferiority complex.

RTSC:
What normal style of football do you have?
What have you won with it on the world stage?

They should keep playing primitive African football?

Asswipe. You create your own style and improve on it. Brainless fool.

You should visit Chad.

Nigerian politicians don't give a f**k about you. They do only that which benefits them directly. Simple!

The railway networks being built across the country are not for use by ''Nigerian politicians'', so your claim is false. Just 2 days ago the FG signed a 3.9 billion USD contract with CRCC of China to build a 450 km line from Abuja to Warri. Two months ago an even bigger contract was signed to build one from Lagos to Calabar, Enugu, PH etc. This is high speed rail we're talking about.

donfineboi:
Look at Lagos state with all its stupendous resources still looking like a lump of shit.

What ''stupendous resources''?

Dude, Nigeria is not a rich country. Lagos is not rich. Our annual national budget is 28 billion USD, with 200 million people. South Africa's annual budget is 125 billion USD, with 56 million people.

Lagos that you say has ''stupendous resources'' is home to 25 million people, with an annual budget of 2 billion dollars. Los Angeles has just 4 million people with an annual budget of 10 billion USD. Tomorrow you will visit L.A. and start asking why Lagos is not like that.

Bro, we need to diversify and expand our economic output as a nation. We don't have the kind of money you think we do, even without corruption.

As for comparisons with Kigali, it's a far smaller city, pop. 859,000. Comparing it to 25 million-strong Lagos is really the height of madness.

Even more absurd is comparing Lagos, a city, to the entire country of Rwanda, based on selected pictures from Kigali!

Livefreeordieha:
i disagree..Our population should even make cost of manufacturing and production cheaper..Eg China and Taiwan...Study hard bro...Infact research about rwanda before u embarrass ursef Amongst intellectuals..

No pun intended..

China and Taiwan are the exceptions. The norm for large developing countries are Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, etc.

NGpatriot:
There are dirty places and slums in the shadow of the shiny streets in Kigali just like in other parts of the world, you obviously don't know anything about Kigali apart from the shiny pictures you people copy and paste to rubbish your own country.

Don't mind the ignorant oaf. Majority of Rwandans live in poverty, and this fool is coming here to use a few highways and clean streets in their capital to insult Lagos and Nigeria. It's like me going to Abuja to take pics and use that to claim Nigeria is an advanced country like Switzerland.

Let's start with how many goals you ever scored in Chelsea before you can coach them...

How many goals did Mourinho score in his NON-EXISTENT football career before becoming Chelsea coach?

BLOCKHEAD MUMU.

"We don't fear guns but fear only God," he said. "When we roar in the jungle even the lions fear because our fathers have tapped the secret of the forests, so Boko Haram will have no hiding place. They will have no choice than to surrender, or they die if they dare stand in our way."

- Traditional Hunters


MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — Thousands of Nigerian hunters, armed with charmed amulets and intimate knowledge of harsh terrain, are preparing an offensive against the Boko Haram extremists who have ravaged the northeast for a decade, calling it "high time" they help soldiers end the deadly insurgency.

Nigeria's government discouraged a similar offensive five years ago, calling it a suicide mission. This time it has the backing of the governor of Borno state, which has suffered the worst of the Boko Haram attacks.

It is a sign that Nigerian authorities, who have repeatedly claimed the defeat of Boko Haram, might be running out of options against the Islamic extremists and a recent offshoot that has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group.

Borno state's new Gov. Babagana Zulum, who inherited the conflict after winning election earlier this year, said he is tired of applying conventional strategies against an extremist group that has killed and abducted tens of thousands of people and displaced millions. The unrest has created a vast humanitarian crisis.

The governor recently approved the sourcing of at least 10,000 hunters to help end the fighting.

While Nigeria's military would not comment, government spokesman Isa Gusau confirmed that the governor has decided to "aggressively explore every lawful means necessary in trying to put an end to the insurgency" after consultations with key stakeholders including elders and traditional rulers.


"We need all the prayers we can get, given the task ahead," Gusau said.

The hunters are separate from the civilian self-defense forces that have sprung up in northeastern Nigeria to combat the Boko Haram insurgency. Usually inheriting their vocation, the hunters are seen as the only group with intimate knowledge of the forests and other terrain in the vast region near Lake Chad. They see their charms and amulets as protection from attack.

An Associated Press reporter this week visited the camp where about 2,000 hunters have been waiting ahead of their march into the Sambisa forest and other Boko Haram hideouts.

More than 5,000 are being mobilized from Nigeria and regional countries including Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad, said one leader of the hunters, Baba Maigiwa.

"The majority of our men have returned to their various states and communities to go and bid their families farewell" but are on their way back to the Borno capital, Maiduguri, said another leader, Abdulkareem Umar.

"We are here because the governor is passionate about ending this madness called Boko Haram," he said.

"I remember about five years ago when we, on our own, converged here in Maiduguri with the intention of storming Sambisa forest to confront Boko Haram, but we did not get the backing of the government and the military. As law-abiding citizens, we had to withdraw. But as this is happening now, it means it is time."

He said the hunters had received 10 vehicles from the state government to help in transport but said they need 30 more, along with weapons.

"We have also made it clear to the authorities that the difference between the soldiers and the hunters is the military training and our knowledge of the jungle," he said. "But what unites us both is armament. So we need arms and ammunition, just like the soldiers. When that is done, the rest would be history, by the grace of God."

He said the hunters are being fed by the Borno state government as they wait for the offensive, and food and water have been deployed to various locations that can be used as forward operating bases.

"We are so happy with the move the state governor is making by recognizing the contributions that the hunters can bring into the counterinsurgency war," said another hunters' chief, Maigana Maidurma. "We are ready to lay down our lives if that is what it would take to bring peace to our dear land."

A younger hunter, 32-year-old Auwal Unar, called the upcoming offensive "a war to safeguard our future and the safety of our women and children."

He said the hunters believe in the potency of the charms they will carry into battle.

"We don't fear guns but fear only God," he said. "When we roar in the jungle even the lions fear because our fathers have tapped the secret of the forests, so Boko Haram will have no hiding place. They will have no choice than to surrender, or they die if they dare stand in our way."

The responses I am seeing here makes me think most Nigerians think less of themselves than they really are. So, what if he wants to coach Chelsea in the future? Are those who did that previously superhuman?. In fact they are not human to your level but you have lost so much to the point that you let other races define you. I believe Nigerians are the most mentally bleeped up set of Africans.

Honestly. They are hopeless. Utter disgrace to black people worldwide. They actually need spiritual deliverance because it is very unnatural for a set of human beings to think so lowly of themselves. I've never seen it anywhere else in the world, and I've been around. Everywhere else, you would have his people encouraging him and urging him to reach for the top, even if they think it's a long shot. In Nigeria, 'Nigerians'' would laugh at him and say he is 'dreaming', and insult him. Who raised these people? Were they raised by beasts in a forest?

It's so disgusting to see. Yet nobody goes to church and plays 'born again chrsitian' more than these wretched, ignorant, soulless asswipes.

Don't mind those people up there. Besides, He said assistant Coach, which for me, its not a big deal

Even if he wants to be a coach, he is very well qualified to be one.

kunmiiii:
He said he said he wants to be a Coach/Asst to Lampard..what's wrong with that and being ambitious Kolo Toure is a Coach in Leicester, Arteta in City, Ljunberg in Arsenal, it's a natural transition. What's funny about Mikel's?
Mikel has the experience too.

I've no idea why these self-hating imbeciles drowning in inferiority complex think it is beyond Mikel to coach Chelsea. Disgusting, cursed human beings. Actually they're no longer 'human' as such. They've relegated themselves to cockroaches. Spit.

Are u sure can naija survive Copa america,a team with Neymar, Gabriel Jesus,fimino,and courthino fred na I'm u dey tell me say e no reach to dread!!!!don't let me believe that u are just trying to console yourself in adv regarding d impending doom naija wan face ooo just as it happened in the just concluded Olympic games where naija took 32nd out of 32 contestants

Get lost with your inferiority complex. Media hype has really got you. Were these names not on the pitch against Senegal and drew 2-2 yesterday?

You need to break free and learn to think with your own head.

OP, if you can't spell 'slippers' you shouldn't be on a forum, but in school.

RICHOLAC:
Hmm! do you mean it? well, i think the crime rate is volumnous hence irredeemable.

It's not higher than America's yet you worship them like a fuc.king slave.

planetx:
If they are racist to you in Europe you too can be racist to them in Africa instead of being perpetual cry babies.

Shut your fuc/king mouth. Who asked you for advice? Bastard.

MrPrsdent:
Hope they won't defend for 90 minutes

No way, Jose.

JerryJJZ:
Victor Osimhen, Joe Aribo, Ndidi, Emmanuel Dennis, Iwobi... I need a goal each.
Lets give them 5:0....
With Etebo and the rest in the Midfield, its a sure deal.... Love this squad

You've not mentioned Chukwueze...

In fact Brazil will chop some goals on that day. I don't see their defence coping with this lot.

Bigiyo:
lmao...
so na chukwueze dem dey fear now

They are wise to fear him. That guy is a fearsome talent.

missjo:
Surely you must have credible proof other than those three you put up there.
Did you perform any experiment?

Railway line constructors have a secret - they always build their lines flat. They never build the lines to accommodate the earth's supposed curvature. Doesn't mater how many thousands of miles of rail being built. It's always...flat.

Likewise, airplane pilots always fly straight, no matter how far the distance. They never dip their noses forward to allow for a curved /spherical earth. They just reach their chosen altitude, and fly straight till they reach their destination.

These two alone suggest the earth is flat.

The other side of the road should also have a sidewalk and covered drainage, not just one side.

Bush governor.

Even look at the so called origin myth of many Nigerians, if it's not Baghdad for the Hausa, it's Mecca for the Yoruba, if not that, it's Israel for the Igbo. How popular would these theory of origins be if the people currently living there now weren't white, but were say the colour of South Sudanese, why do Africans never claim to descend from another part of Africa but always the Middle East? Because deep down they want to be connected to white skin and white people.

Go and study your history before talking ignorant rubbish.

The area currently known as the middle east and north Africa was OCCUPIED BY BLACK PEOPLE in antiquity. Black Africans built the pyramids of Egypt and Sudan. There are NUMEROUS artefacts, ancient texts, and other forms of evidence which prove the black presence in those areas without a shadow of doubt. Your problem is YOU DO NOT READ OR STUDY.

Start with 'The Destruction of Black Civilization' by Dr Chancellor Williams. You can get it for only 10 dollars on Amazon. READ AND LEARN.

Sure, many Africans have a racial inferiority complex regarding whites. THAT originated from their recent history of colonisation, but that has NOTHING to do with the actual facts of history, which show that black Africans civilized the world.

The Great Sphinx of Egypt
https://curiosmos.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Sphinx-Head-780x405.jpg

In 1787, Count Constantine de Volney -- a French nobleman, philosopher, historian, orientalist, and politician -- embarked on a journey to the East in late 1782 and reached Ottoman Egypt were he spent nearly seven months. ''When I visited the Sphinx, its appearance gave me the key to the riddle. On seeing that head, typically Negro in all its features, I remembered the remarkable passage where Herodotus says:

'As for me, I judge the Colchians to be a colony of the Egyptians because, like them, they are black with woolly hair...'

"When I visited the Sphinx, I could not help thinking that the figure of that monster furnished the true solution to the enigma (of how the modern Egyptians came to have their 'mulatto' appearance)

"In other words, the ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same type as all native-born Africans. That being so, we can see how their blood, mixed for several centuries with that of the Greeks and Romans, must have lost the intensity of its original color, while retaining nonetheless the imprint of its original mold.

"Just think," de Volney declared incredulously, "that this race of Black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of speech! Just imagine, finally, that it is in the midst of people who call themselves the greatest friends of liberty and humanity that one has approved the most barbarous slavery, and questioned whether Black men have the same kind of intelligence as whites!

"In other words the ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same stock as all the autochthonous peoples of Africa and from the datum one sees how their race, after some centuries of mixing with the blood of Romans and Greeks, must have lost the full blackness of its original color but retained the impress of its original mould."

All I see are local men. Just negodu posture. Posture be like him project!

Shallow-minded wastrel. You're only concerned with appearances while your betters are doing concrete things to benefit society.

59 years of failure..

If you don't appreciate what you have gotten, you will not receive more from the universe.

Your great grandparents were very likely illiterate village peasants who walked around barefoot with little to eat, since under colonial rule, there was malnutrition, mass illiteracy and poverty across the land.

Today you have a lot more than your forbears, from roads, to flyovers, to shopping malls to universities, airports, cars, phones, computers, higher education, and opportunities. Today you can hustle and go abroad to work if you wish, with skills an independent Nigeria gave you.

Your illiterate forbears were stuck to a farm.

Today, you can initiate from nothing a start-up idea that could have millions of dollars in investment coming your way from Silicon Valley. From nothing. It happens today in Nigeria.

Appreciate where we are and you will get more.

^^^ You people will not kill someone on this nairaland...

You really have it in for this our presido..

PoliticalWitch:


Under Army rule, things were worse than they are now.

Plus IBB being wined and dined by the West in 1989...had a lot to do with not letting the Soviets gain a foothold in Nigeria. If IBB had remained in power after 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed...the West would have called him names.

Don't mind these small kids who don't know what they are enjoying today.

When these guys were in power only a tiny minority had telephones. In fact one minister back then said openly that phones were ''not for the poor''. Back then you would travel from Benin or even Kaduna to Lagos to visit your brother, only to be told he has traveled overseas.

Today you can easily call first to make sure he's in Lagos before travelling all that way.

HaryoBamex:
When the going was good for us as a nation...

This was when the whites recognized and respected Nigeria, not now...

NIGERIA, which way na.

I weep for Nigeria o.

Leave ''the whites'' out of it. It is YOU that does not ''recognize and respect Nigeria''.

Afterall Nigeria - now Africa's biggest economy - is far more developed and buoyant today than it was under Babangida or Shagari or Gowon that was Britain's houseboy during the war. When those guys were in power, cities like Awka, Osogbo, Uyo, Owerri, Abakaliki and even Abuja were glorified villages. Today they are booming cities filled with flyovers, expressways, stadia, airports, shiny hotels, and shopping malls.

frosbel2:
1. It is wrong on all levels and the culprits should be arrested and punished severely.
2. Where are the fathers of these children , did they abandon them or what ?
3. What are the police doing ? Do they collect bribes ?

Trust me , I hate crime with a vengeance and it does not matter if the criminals are Nigerians or from my tribe. What you guys need to do is address this problem , using the police and justice system , and finally immigration to deport all criminals.

Collateral killings and lootings is not the solution.

The strange thing is that you actually have to explain this to them. Barbaric people with no rule of law. Forget them. Their problem is racial inferiority complex. They use the 'Nigerians as criminals' nonsense to excuse their pathology.

The white minority that stole their entire land, cornered all their resources, killed and raped them in their millions, and confined them to 'bantustans' and ghettos like Soweto, are allowed to roam the country freely as overlords till today. If they are so righteous why do they let that happen? Their problem is not Nigerians. Their problem is in their colonised, self-hating heads.
