Rossikk: And so because YOUR DAD went to uni and had a car means other Nigerians were equally 'blessed'?
How many universities were there in Nigeria at independence? Not even up to 1. University College Ibadan wasn't made a full fledged uni till 1962. So which university did your dad attend? Today we have 128 universities in the ''useless, failed Nigeria'', compared to the ''successful Nigeria'' of half university in 1960 under British rule!

That's Nairaland logic.





For how many? Considering 90% of Nigerians lived in rural areas in 1960, and rural areas had NO electricity whatsoever.



No, you need to awaken your dulkl brtain and learn the truth about your colonial past. If everything ws going honky dory, why were Awo, Zik, Enahoro, and other founding fathers bursting their assses and risking their lives to free the nation of colonialism?



Ghana is NOT doing better than the Nigerian economy. She's actually doing comparatively worse, all things considered. Ghana should really be like Kuwait. She has a tiny population, and is the world's largest exporter of cocoa, she exports gold, manganese, copper, and now oil and gas. Ghanaian should be asking what happened to all their money.

guy...really ehn! you re dull.

if you didnt know, back then, you dont nid to go to the university to live decently.

secondary school leavers would easily get jobs.


i also see your brain cant process the fact that then, there was no oil boom.

guy...am wasting intellectual energy with you. you dull!

Rossikk: Of what use was currency strength when 95% of the country were illiterates?



Nostalgia for the peace wrought by poverty and deprivation.

How wouldn't the old days be 'better' when all they did was sit outside their huts eating palm kernels and drinking palmi?

There was no crime, since no one owned anything worth stealing. Very few had seen electricity, so there was no anger over 'power cuts'. You can't miss what you don't know. A bicycle was the sign of wealth in those ''good old days''. A man who could mount his bicycle and ride from his village to the next was a 'big boy'. Just ask your grandparents. They will confirm.

Bros.

Are you just kidding or you really believe in these things you are posting. I pray the case is the former.

95% illiterates? According to Rosikk.com site ba?

My dad was a graduate living in Lagos and he had a car.

Plus electricity was already in Nigeria in the 60s.

Guy, do a little research. You 'll know that the Nigerian economy immediately the British left was good.

Even the Ghanian economy that was bad as recently as the 80s is now better than Naija's economy.

The question is..."were they not also colonised by the British?"

Stop looking for excuses. Nigeria is bad cos we have a retardeed as president.

Can you help convey the message to the retardeen?

[quote author=A-town]Nigeria was well to do? Really? Compared to what? Everything is relative my friend. If you consider where we should have been at the time you are talking about, how is that different from where we are now? All the riches, mineral resources and manpower stolen nko? They robbed us blind and you are saying we were well to do, abegi.
Also, we are still among the richest in the world, the only problem is equal distribution. Get that right. Nigeria is rich, it's the populace that is poor[/quote]Around the 60s, the nigerian currency fared better than the british currency. its a pointer.

Have you not also heard your parents saying things like life used to be very good back in the days?

The reason Nigeria keeps getting bad is cos of comments like yours. This is becos no matter the evil done by the president, some people will find a reason, albeit wierd and illogical, to defend his govt's actions.

No wonder it is said that a country usually gets a president it deserves.

Shameful situation!

Rossikk: The EU should ask their member, Britain, what she did with all the monies earned from Nigerian exports from 1897 to 1960. If that money had been used to develop Nigeria rather than embezzled and used to develop England, Nigeria would have been as fully developed as South Africa at independence, and we wouldn't be having this conversation. So let them start with their own thievery. We are poor today because we are playing catch up, struggling to build things that should have been built 100 years ago.

With due respect, this is the dumbest post i ve seen on Nairaland.

Do you know the state of Nigeria's economy when britain gave us independence? Nigeria was well to do!

Now, the EU is saying what a blind, sane person already knows and here u are spewing argument that reeks like fart.

Even with what we have today, we should be among the richest countries around. thats what the EU is saying.

So try increase your IQ to understand that point rather than behave like a retarted govt apologist.

can we see pictures?

how much?

wish it was me they tried smuggling...

i woudda being a british citizen by now!

ozolity: yes its just only u dat feel like slapping a performing president

Yeah...Perforning Corruption

Watch Kukere & oliver twist being played and danced to @ Britain's got talent

free2ryhme: guy ur topic encourages negative behaviour rather than discourages. I for delete am if i be mod

Abegi! so when did this place be moral platform ba? watery defense.

@ the Moderators...

how do you determine what come on the front page please?

i posted a similar post as seen below, yall ignored it yet u put this on front page?

https://www.nairaland.com/1255108/15-steps-successfully-cheat-girlfriend

lets be transparent abeg. abi its cos the op is a babe?

Dont take your babe to Nairaland on a first date...

wats the full package

fitzmayowa: Hmmm

bros, wetin you dey plan? i dey suspect you o...

Da Queen Estee: Maybe you should add one more step. Make sure your main chick is a complete dumbass. And always be prepared to reap what you sow. Nice effort but very puerile.

Sweerie. U knw I won't cheat on u na?

foxgiovani: I agree with u except on the area of leaving your phone @ home and going to work. She can call your phone not knowing that you didn't go out with it. She can also send you text msg. That will burst you bubble. To me, I think that if you r the cheating type, your wife will discover one way or the other though she may choose to act like she don't knw. That's for some women. For somebody like me, my wife is a detective

Same like my girlfriend...she tinks shez FBI buh am always a step ahead

foxgiovani: well, I don't support men cheating on their wife. But the truth is that its really not easy for a man to avoid it with the kind of attraction we get from these single ladies whose b.r.e.a.s.t is pointing 90degrees. And the society won't talk much if a man is doing that for a woman, its a national news. If u come to nairaland and paste that a man is caught cheating and you do same for a woman, the one for woman will hit front page one time while the other is not seen as a big deal.

True talk bro

190: Is there a book on this cos i wud be so interested

No one wants to eat chicken everyday. This is true when it comes to women as well. 

Unfortunately a woman’s value depreciates over time. She is getting older and not getting any tighter.  Eventually the same girl gets old faster than stale bread, compelling men to cheat.

So people are just suposed to start a discussion on a faded celebrity doing a dance step? My Gawd! what am i doing on this forum? off to Reddit!

adedejisy: World war 111 on the way as North Korea is not listening,kindly says your opinion

Bros. U dull o. Na property section u wan come begin discuss North Korea?

Sleep dey catch u?

kay9: What i don't understand is why you lovers of Spartacus insist you have ''matured minds'' and such nonsense; i'm yet to hear a GoT lover make such a ridiculous claim. Seriously, i dont get it. Will someone flog you guys or arrest you if you say you just enjoy watching blood and gore and people being ''analized'' and leave it at that?

Psychos that butcher their victims like blood and gore. Cannibals like blood and gore. Those animals that r@ped and murdered the poor girl in India also like blood and gore. So by your definition these three groups of people are all matured and have CLASS... Abi no be so??

Id!ots.

We the 'idiots' don't say we luv blood and gore.

We just luv the story in its raw form...no editing away details. If blood is involved, let's see it.


Buh I understand if you don't want to see such since u nid 'Parental Guidance'. So stick to ur GOT.


Matured people can take anytin dat comes to their eyes.

Cos in real life...nothing is 'edited'.


Grow up. That's d point.


Doesn't mean anyone is an 'I.diot'. Only means they matured to deal with the gory scenes.


Hope u re up to d age alllowed to see GOT?

niteduff: The question is, were you there back then?
So how would you know?
This mummers' farce about comparison has dragged on long enough. It is known that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and one man's food is another man's poison. After reading through the arguments posted on NL, I discovered that most people here are merely talking just to test the strenght of their voices, and most of what they have posted show the depth of their knowledge about plots analysis. Most cant even see beyond the tip of their noses.

Bros. Stop displaying ur ignorance in public...


I can't see beyond the tip of my nose? Guy! U dumb! Just go and do a lil research bout old roman empire...in fact forget research, just do google then u realise how blood thirsty d society back den was.

The way spartacus is depicted...is exactly how it was. In fact a lot worse.

In history, crassus crucified d majority of d slaves that revolted...am sure since I wasn't dere...history was lying.

I can lecture u all day about the roman system.

I studied it.

Unlike u dt all u knw is gleaned from storyplots of tv series..

niteduff: If we forget about the 'd nudity n raw violence in spartacus'like you said, then we can as well forget about Spartacus altogether. How can you say GOT, as a series, be 'quit interestin but boring' at the same time?

Nuffin wrong with d gory and raw scenes. Question is...was dat how it was back den? Yes. Did they edit anytin out? No.

When u say u don't have gory scenes in GOT, it means some tins have been taken away.

Wat makes Grey's anatomy better than d odas? D blood it shows...makes it real.

Only matured minds appreciate real tins...kids wants gory tins taken away from their eyes...I understand dt.


But again, how come most pple who ve seen both describe GOT as 'boring'?

Spartacus literally gets u pissin on ur pants with its suspense, plot and word interchange...even its backgroud sounds during d fights were unbelievable...I almost peed wen spartacus was about to fight with Gannicus...

"I. Always knew he(Spartacus) would lead you to your deaths...would dis be d day he would do it?"

Or d andrenalin I felt wen spartacus and crixus were about to fight Theokales, the shadow of Death.


Or dis words from solonius to Batiatus...

"What if your man crixus was joined(to fight theokales) by Spartacus, whose death was fated in d arena buh refused to own it, costing me 4 men in his defiance"

A word of advise to anyone who hasn't seen both...dnt waste ur time...Spartacus aint in GOT's league just like d super eagles and super falcons aint in same league...u can watch spartacus a million times and not get tired.

dypo: Gunthor: "How would you like to die, Tyrion son of Tywin?"
Tyrion: "In my own bed, with a belly full of wine and a maiden’s mouth around my c*ck, at the age of eighty"

Gosh! If this is d dialogue am to expect in GOT, den I won't even bother watching. Watery! Even I would write better.


And pple sayin awards and imd ish makes GOT better...it sounds like sayin Kanye West is better dan Eminem cos he got 17 grammys while eminem got 13.


Awards dnt mean sh.it.

followership does. When Whitfield died...everybody knew and put him up on bbm display....who knws d main xter in GOT?
