I believe you are educated to some extent, how was an Igbo man behind the first coup?

Google it!

Go on Google and type “1966 coup”.

You will learn the actions of your kinsmen.

Ok, what is the current state of things like, employment, food prices, petrol, cooking gas, diesel, dollar rate, security and general wellbeing of the nigerian masses. Are these things I mentioned better now than they were in the past?

Bro, there’s never been a time things were ‘good’ for everyone in Nigeria.

Even in the 1980s people were complaining about inflation, NEPA, armed robbery, army brutality etc.

Fela was popular for a reason.

In many ways things have improved. Health care and sanitation have improved. Infant mortality rate has fallen steadily. GDP per capita has increased. Military boys have been pacified.

Telecommunications are top notch today. In the 80s, phones were for the super rich.

Daily Hustle: You would fight to get into a Molue (49 sitting 99 standing) and when you reach your destination, the person you went to see, they will tell you he has traveled.

Back into the Molue. A whole day gone, cos you’re stuck in traffic to and fro.

Today, you simply text the guy to see where he is, or simply call him, to talk business.

You people are just enjoying today but you don’t know.

How you guys stuck to the lie that the first coup in Nigeria was an 'Igbo coup' still baffles me. So you mean there were no soldiers from other tribes that took part in the coup?
Go back to your history teacher.

They were under Igbo commanders. Igbo officers led the coup, and decided who would be assassinated. No Igbo leaders were touched. Just northerners and SW.

Until Igbos send a HIGH LEVEL TRADITIONAL DELEGATION comprising their most powerful traditional elders and priests on an APOLOGY MISSION to those regions whose leaders they killed in that FIRST COUP OF 1966… As in GO THERE to meet their counterparts in those regions, with SACRED WINE, SACRIFICIAL COCKRELS, AND A VIRGIN OR TWO, TO CLEANSE THOSE LANDS OF THE EVIL COMMITTED BY THEIR KINSMEN in that coup, you can forget about Igbos gaining power in this country.

You can speak ENGLISH from today till tomorrow. But we are Africans, and we have our own way of restoring balance.

The joke is on you, Shettima. Who invited you to the BRICS meeting and for what purpose?

You no just get sense.

There is every reason for Shettima to be there, as a pro-active deputy leader of Africa’s biggest economy.

Do you know the number of deals he can make in that place?

Even commitments he can reach with other players?

I mean, the Ghanaian PRESIDENT was there.

Serious nations don’t have time for this your egotistical outlook.

They see a sniff of opportunity, and they leverage it.

They think, “Oh right, Putin, Lula, Xi Jin Pin, Ramaphosa, Modri, plus big corporate players from their countries will be converging in our African backyard here. How do we leverage this?”

While YOU are reasoning with your schoolboy mindset of “they didn’t invite you, so why did you go?”

What is burna boy singing lets ask ourselves. If some street guys sing for you one will understand that being a superstar is not all about what you do but favour from God

Dear Burna boy or whatever is your name glorify God for what you achieve and keep quiet

Very well said.

Burna Boy is stupid and senseless.

He doesn’t realise he is kicking himself in the foot by condemning the very genre the world recognises him by.

Just stupid, thoughtless and dumb.

It’s like Snoop Dogg or 50 cent saying rap music is ‘nothing’.

Or Chris Rock saying RnB is ‘nothing’.

Not true.

This nostalgia we always have about the past must end.

In the past, we had bloody military coups, leaders assassinated, and civil wars that cost millions of lives.

Back in the past Lagosians we’re fighting to jump on MOLUE.

Back in the past there was no phone, except for the super rich.

Back in the past, cities like Uyo, Awka, Asaba, and Abuja were mere villages.

Go to some of those places today and you will think you’re in London.

We also underestimate the PR benefits of such an achievement in terms of positioning of the country in the comity of nations.

Such an achievement tells investors that this is a country that is technologically savvy, and worth investing in, and partnering with, in further technological ventures.

It will also be a massive RACIAL statement on the technological capacity and progress of the black race in the modern era.

We must do it.

Where is our writing systems?

African writing systems are numerous, and include the Hieroglyphs of Kemet, the Nubian Script, also known as the Meroitic Script, Nsibidi Script, Ajami Script, Ethiopic Script, and many others.

They did not experience 500 years of Atlantic slave trade.

The Europeans actually started by enslaving Indians. They proved unprofitable as they lacked the mental resilience and physical strength required. Then they switched to Africans.

But that history should not prevent us from progress.

Where is Nigeria Map 200 years ago

No coup since independence

The Nehru-Ghandi family were in Power for over 30 years

How many millions are lifted from poverty each year compared to Nigeria

Are we still in the same league?

All irrelevant.

India’s space program started decades ago when mass poverty was rife.

Stop using that as an excuse. That moon landing cost them 74 million dollars.

Is that not chicken change for one politician to pocket and clean mouth?

I just laugh when comparing India advancement or edge over Nigeria based on year of independence alone

They never bother to think of Indigenous religion and writing systems that is over 1,000 years. Imagine the information and education passed from generation to generation. Their magnificent temples still standing till date were built centuries before colonisatiion by local architects and engineers

It is an INSULT to elevate Indian history and civilisation over that of Africa, the Cradle of Civilisation.

Black Africans invented speech, writing, mathematics, the sciences, arts, medicine, laws, architecture, philosophy, and religion.

Black Africans founded the FIRST empires and kingdoms in India, and ruled for thousands of years before eventually succumbing to Aryan invasions from the north.

It is why southern Indians are brown/black and northern Indians light skinned.

That the colonialists destroyed and burned down our great cities and monuments doesn’t mean we lacked “magnificent temples”.

We are the HOME of magnificent structures.

There are over 220 pyramids in Sudan. More than the number in Egypt.

Egypt itself was Black African in antiquity, and was the ‘USA’ of the world for thousands of years.

Oga, stop comparing India with Nigeria. That's an insult to those guys. We are talking about a people with a GDP of over $3 trillion.

Go and fix basic infrastructure and stop talking about your utopian moon. Tomorrow, we will hear that they parked the rocket somewhere. This is the only country that parks satellites and rockets. Just before you argue because you still bathe outside naked when that happened, read this:
https://www.reuters.com/article/nigeria-satellite-idUSLC73901520081112

“After looking at the options we decided that the best thing to do was to park it, like you park a car,” Zaku said.

PS: I won't reply you again.

Nigeria’s GDP is 1.15 TRILLION DOLLARS calculated by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP).

It is proportionally higher than India’s, considering they have a 1.4 billion population, more than all Africa (1.2 billion).

So money is not the issue.

And India has not “fixed basic infrastructure”.

Go on Google Earth and view their cities.

They just look like Naija.

Truth is it will take DECADES to “fix basic infrastructure” in Nigeria, even if we are ruled by saints.

220 million population is no joke. A LOT still needs to be built.

We cannot be waiting to complete the task of development while the world leaves us behind in TECHNOLOGY.

India understood this.

Before thinking of taking your papa to the utopian moon, please fix electricity and road and stabilize the naira. Those are the most important things at this time.

It's even funny that these basic things have always been Nigeria's problems since independence and one nonentity is here talking about moon shuttle.

Absolute nonsense.

If India had waited to fix all their roads and power supply issues, they would not have achieved the moon landing.

Development is not linear.

You must simultaneously build your infrastructure and your technological capacity.

It is VILLAGE MENTALITY that says “let us fix A and B before we can do C.”

India has the same developmental issues as Nigeria. They have bad roads and power cuts in India. Plus corruption.

It was done on the cheap, compared to the multi billion dollar US missions.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cj0SuWhVAAEPWP6.jpg

India got independence in 1947, so they are a bit ahead of us in terms of technology, hence their recent moon landing.

But we are catching up.

Most importantly, we have the manpower to pull this off.

We have capable Nigerian scientists at the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), Abuja, and also numerous Nigerian scientists working at various space agencies all over the world, including NASA.

Nigerian scientists have built satellites which have been launched into space, and are currently hovering the Earth in outer space.

Fully designed and built by Nigerians.

''NASRDA has, over the years, shown a pivotal role in its deployment of expertise in the design, building and launch of Nigerian satellites. These include NigeriaSat -1, NigeriaSat–2, NigComSat-1R and most importantly, the NigeriaSat-X, which was designed and built to flight standard by Nigerian engineers and scientists.''

- https://guardian.ng/news/24yrs-after-nigerias-space-programme-loses-traction-despite-yearly-allocations/

So Nigeria is a notable player in the Space Industry.

Certainly right up there among the African nations.

We must take the next leap, and PUT A NIGERIAN ON THE MOON.
