Why do you assume she's is living illegally? From her environment and demeanour, she comes across a citizen.

Princedapace:
Bro, at least, Indians who come here come here as tech guys, they arent here hustling up and down like we do over there. No one respects a parasite bro.

Nigerians are known to run anywhere to in this world just to escape their country.

Princedapace:
No one really respect a race that has refused to respect them selves and fix their country.

Nigerians use tribalism and nepotism to finish their country and want other countries to grant merit and treat them well. Not possible.

planetx:
Why would anyone go to India to hustle when an average Indian will give an arm and a leg to get the hell out of India.

Goel:
Next day, they will again be arrested for trafficking drugs or doing gangwars on streets on Delhi and African Union will accuse of India of racism.
Unlike racist whites, Indians had a relatively good image of Africans until they started to come here.

Justcash:
If Nigeria was the United States, Dr Okonjo Iweala would have been chosen by either the Democrats or Republicans, and she would have been the strongest contestant.

She ticks all of the boxes:

Experience: served severally as a major minister and understands the requirements of leadership

Professional: she has attained verifiable professional achievements at a global scale

Political Support: it is often said that it is the turn of Igbos to lead Nigeria in 2023. She is Igbo, and she can effectively represent the South East’s slot even though some pundits will debate against that

History: she will become the first woman to lead Nigeria. It will entrench gender equality and hope for Nigerian women

Diplomacy: her leadership will be respected and supported as shown in her recent WTO endorsement.

However, Nigerians are too divided across ethnic and religious lines to even consider her. It is a big loss for Nigeria.

GamalNasser:
We all know central park were guilty even though eventually cleared so keep quiet .

So corrupt peadophile Joe is slightly better ?

Trump will win in Supreme Court.Mark my words. Trump 2020.

TruthinAction:
They should let him play his game. I perceive he is being instructed not to dribble. Most of the times, he just passes the ball as soon as he gets the ball. Coach Rohr also doesn't like him dribbling. This has reduced his confidence on the game.

But nobody stops Messi from dribbling. They don't want Nigeria to have a Messi.

thinkmoney:
I agree very much with your point. I guess its impossible for any relatively advanced civilization not to have a type of sign or writing at any level of development for keeping and transmitting information.
But then again, the nature of the writing materials available must have made them not to last long.
Obviously there were difficulties in passing on knowledge and the thick forest cut of many civilizations from others. So in Africa knowledge also didn't spread well. Civilization many times rose and fell in isolation

thinkmoney:
Civilization rise and fall. In Africa as in many other places great civilization arose.
But I suspect three factors that made this civilizations disappeared almost without trace-or four;
Our building materials that comprises of mud that degenerates quickly.
-our climate and temperature makes things weather and desinintegrate quickly.
-the prevalent Forrest and Savannah that quickly encroached on buildings and overwhelm them.these forest even discourage building any lasting edifice to start with.
-and wars and invasions-internally and from external elements like the Arabs and europeans.
And importantly too, the knowledge of whatever past civilization perished because we didn't develop writing. I guess the lack of big mountains discouraged us from thinking about the future, like and permanency.
In the present time too, the scant interest given to the study of archaeology has put the nail on the confine. This situation has fostered a sense of inferiority. A feeling that we are just incapable of doing great things.
Flip the absence of many of the mentioned conditions around and see what Egypt, Sudan and even Mali with moderate climate have from their pasts

Dubetex96:
if it were to be in Nigeria the judge will give an order to stop and joyfully prepare to be promoted to supreme court.

MhisTahrah:
It's sad we Africans don't know our history. If only Africa can return to its roots.

engrchykae:
The great Edo seemed to me to be an offshoot of the ancient egyptian civilization.
In her monarchical structure and spiritual background.
The real monkeys are Europeans who copied everything they have from Africa and yet fail to acknowledge Africa.
Their pattern is simple DISCOVER AND DESTROY

HITsquad:
This is no news... Benin empire,The nubian Kush empire... Modern day Sudan,Malian empire... (I don't even wanna add our famous light skin egyptian neighbors) was an evidence that Africa was not always at the back stage! We were better than our counterparts in every angle!

Something went wrong somewhere man! And it's sad

delpee:
Very interesting! Black civilisation probably should have been left to develop at its pace. Benin treasures of art speak volumes about the intelligence and beautiful culture of the Binis.

I also read about a Queen of Ile Ife who constructed paved roads with potsherds centuries ago.

Apart from Western education and Christianity, much of the intervention of the Whites was for their personal and national interest.

RemoveKebab:
yes Africa already had enough so they had no reason to seek for resources by all means adding to that, geography also left west and southern Africa in the dark.

The vast desert of north Africa isolated them in time.

Early technology exchange couldn't happen as it was between Europe and Asia.

Guestlander:
You should quit lying and Just admit you made a mistake. Blustering doesn't get you anywhere.

Guestlander:
That was a misrepresentation.

Igbochief001:
Not the minds ..it's the system

oyatz:
He never mentioned any name, so how did you know the tribe (the tribe of Judas) he was talking about?

Guestlander:
Eredo ramparts. Ijebu Ode.

Zeromoney:
This story breaks my heart. So the English man came; killed our ancestors, burnt our glorious Benin city to the ground and carted away artefacts and sculptures that identify us. Now if we want to know more about the ancient Benin kingdom all we have to do is travel to the UK and visit their museums.
Is Nigeria not a failed country? A country that can't preserve its identity or teach her citizens their history shouldn't exist.
