The hausa man shd start believing in himself & put an end d 'rakadede' syndrome infecting him. He shd b liberated frm all shackles. I hope 2 see more hausas in Naijas entertainment mainstream. Two of my most amazing friends are hausas. Christians though.

Marginalized
So wc region is most rep in fedral service, has lowest university (& fed sec sch) entry requirement. Has more states & political office holders?
The problem of d ordinary northerner has more 2 do with mentality & self development.

The General: You don't have to be literate to know that Nigeria is the second most corrupt country In the world. If u care to it is because we have a lot of vacancies in our schools that's why we can accomodate more than 100,000 students from ur country every year. A poor country as discribed above can't do that.
The university I completed(University for Dev't Studies), there are a lot of nigerians there some of whom are my friends.
One thing I observed is that ghanaians have problems with mostly Igbos(Arm robbers). We have a lot of Housas and Yorubas in Ghana, we lived peacefully with them. I never hated nigerians! One thing I know for sure is that, I will never go to nigeria - for anything!

Why pointing out the Igbos? bros abeg u either love or hate us. Please no selective loving is permitted, cos we are all Nigerians. So start making up ur mind on how to categorise Nigerians. thanks.

I beileve the kind gesture Ghana is enjoying from Nigeria is because of being an anglophone country. Personally I prefer cotonou (Benin) & abijan (Ivory) people.
Its sad to see ghanains hating on naija inspite of d large contribution we are making to their economy & helping them raise their profile through songs & movie collaborations.
I watched the news on SABC last week and felt very disappointed in Ghana making such policies this present age. So what happens to the COUNTLESS number of ganas doing petty trading in countries like SA, Nigeria etc if such countries decide to initiate similar laws. Ghanians were already specialists in migration b4 Nigerians. Back in the 80s my primary sch had about 70% ghanaians making up its staff, and still believe there are remnants of them teaching in Nigerian schools.
Point is: I do not see any anti-immigration law favouring Ghana at d long run. People shd be allowed to do conduct biz anywhere as long as they are duly registered and pay taxes to d host country. At least they are not there to take your jobs in d civil service or other protected sectors. A little kindness to a foreigner is desirable. BTW human migration is as old as Methuselah (read ur bible for relevant stories). And at this period, Africans need to show love and respect to one another, as we cannot afford to be treating ourselves unkindly as other races are doing.

Umunede: I can't believe what I just heard now in TV3, a private Ghanaian TV station. The presenter in their saturday morning programme just openly said she hopes Liberia eliminates Nigeria in the AFCON 2013 qualifiers. Why this hatred? Wetin we do dis people?

Really, is it this bad?

bigboyk: I just don't understand Nigerians! Who are you to dictate to Ghana on how it runs its affairs? The Ghanaian law says that retail business is reserved for the locals, what's hard to understand there? For those saying Nigeria is better than Ghana, why are you then howling insults at 'poor' Ghana for trying to send Nigerians back to their 'paradise' country. This is simply a case of reaping where you did not sow. Where were Nigerian traders in the 70's and 80's when things were bad for Ghana? Back then, you were busy chasing out Ghanaians in droves and in demeaning ways and you were enjoying your oil boom. Nigerians, please learn to live in your country. Ghana is too small to contain us all. Leave us to run our 'poor' country. Punish our economy by 'leaving' our country. Nigerians are too obsessed with Ghana... Please, leave Ghana and see if we won't move on. We give you the title of 'Giant of Africa' because it seems you love titles alot. You are all conceited and have this misconception that nobody can be better than you. Egoists suffering from narcissism. My two cents.

Nigerians are too obsessed with Ghana...... *rolling with laughter*
Mr. bigboy try to rephrase your statement.

Quite impressive.
And I hope d sport supporters club will take their trumpets & drums 2 d court if dis team qualifies, since we aint gonna av any soccer team in London.
Go Go Tigers!

Soludo all d way. I think his policies made more impact on d ordinary Nigerian.
I really like his intelligence & personality. Presently, he is d only Igbo I can consider 4 presidency.

I wanted a girl & I got a girl.
Reason: I'm impressed wit my big sister (d eldest & only female).

^^^afam only suggests d Yoruba be reduced & nt abandoned. And I agree wit him. Since d man is reaching out to a global audience. He shd find a proper balance of languages so he doesnt loose his appeal. And of course Yoruba is d sweetest lang on earth!

When is Nigeria going to produce a president that doesnt 'give a damn' about wealth acquisition?

Its quite obvious dt Fashola has both character & capacity.
Other Nigerians am impressed wit (so far) are Ajimobi & Soludo.
Apparently, most politicians though rich still suffer from poverty mentality. Hence, they steal like crazy.

Back in d 80's & 90's naija used 2 b on par wit d jamos, wit d likes of Adenikan, Ezinwa etc. Now we dont even come close. No tanx 2 our corrupt govt.
Im sure nollywood & naija music wld av bin grounded if run by d govt.
I predict 1 bronze 4 TeamNigeria.

Sorry HisRib if d tone of d comments sound rude. Its just a way of catching fun I guess. And as u said: naijas are creative.
I bet u'l av more friends than u imagined if u hang on.

Pls read: 1. WHY WE STRUCK (by Adekunle)
2. KADUNA NZEOGU (by Obasanjo)
Im not very sure cos I read them a long time ago while @ high sch. Recommend these books to every Nigerian esp my Igbo pple.

Has much as I hate to sound tribalistic, but I hardly learn frm Igbos commenting on NL. I think intelligent (& wise) Igbo pple shd come on board, cos they abound.

This story reflects the maturity of USA. A nation dt runs on merits & rewards hardwork. A country that is compassionate to immigrants & attracts talents world over.
God bless America (& countries alike).

Weldone omo naija rere. He raised many important questions dt need pondering on. e.g. misplaced priorities of our docs. & profs, corruption in govt.
The earlier we realised dt our system is killing destinies of children d better.

^^^Marginalized ke?
Did my nysc in yenagoa & can confirm dt their politicians are stinkingly rich....buildin hotels lik no man's biz. BBC called NDelta bunkerin creeks d biggest crime scene in the WORLD! The whole universe is now takin Nigeria a joke.

Mainframe production does it 4 me anytime. Im less concerned wit golly & english nolly provided Mr. Latin, Suwe, Odule keep me laughin. However, I'm alwys proud & hapi wn I hear words like igwe, chineke, oga, na wa o frm a non-naija.

Though I prefer yoruba movies whenever I feel like watchin anytin Nigerian. But Im not unaware of d big contribution Nigeria is giving Ghana esp in movies & music. Any strain in relations wont be good 4 d latter. We need Cooperatn & Respect in W/Africa.

Dem take corruption curse nigeria?
This is just too shameful. How wil other countries respect us when they always hear stories of corrupt govt & systems? Cases lik this are treated as treason by other nations but not in our dear nigeria. I jus tire o.

Comments are becoming less interesting. Pls where is nubian22? Really like d man.

Reading this wit tears in my eyes.
When other countries (in Africa) are making gains, we r busy fighting corruption & insecurity.

Interesting!

Prof. Femi teaching d house of thieves some lessons. These guys shd pls drop d glorified title 'Hon.'
Otedola is now a national hero, & as his name implies - ur conspiracy only makes him wealthier.
Shameless gluttons!

Good move. I support 2 party system wit clear manifetos & values.
Executives shd b chosen rgardless of region but on CAPACITY & CHARACTER.
Me, still looking Fashola & Soludo. Really luv these 2.
Hope it becomes real someday.

^^^^ tpia, Nig still respect marriage even if some men behave otherwise.
Dbanj, Tuface, Sunny Nneji etc all sing about d beauty of bride, wife & family inspite of d obvious. NOW all we hear frm d west is ' i wanna s3x u', ' can we make luv alnite' etc.

[quote author=tpia@]actually, we do have a high proportion of irresponsible ones.

globalization hasnt helped at all because a lot of these irresponsible ones are totally out to annihilate marriage, stable relationships and just culture in general.

very anti-social no doubt due to nihilistic personal worldview.

though its not only men who are this way.[/quote]

G+E=P i.e. Your physical expressn is a fxn of ur genetics & enviroment. Your genes come frm both parents. Since marriage is 4 procreatn, it wil do us good if u identify those irresponsible men. They must not breed. They must be sterilized!
