No one is suggesting that every 8 in 10 Nigerians are corrupt, read my post again. We need to be honest about our conditions b/4 we can treat our ills. How can you receive a treatment without a proper diagnosis? We have pretended to be great for so long and it only hides our numerous problems. I Love Nigeria with a passion and i will gladly lay down my life for her if that's what it takes to give these innocent kids a brighter future. There are so many Nigerians worldwide doing great things but there are a lot more idiots Doing horrible things. There is a guy here in Texas by the name of Kase Lawal. This guy is a good example of what a good Nigerian citizens should be like. He's a highly successful man with a good education and a highly successful business. There are a lot more like that holding powerful world positions. These guy worked their way and were patient to see success, they did not tarnish Nigeria's image by seeking an overnight success. It is far easier to mess up a country's image than to build it. It begins from the home, if you lay a foundation of truth,honest and hard work in your home your children will emulate you and spread it out to the society. IN NIGERIA, WE ALLOW EMOTIONS AND SENTIMENT TO CLOUD OUR JUDGMENTS, WE GET GET EXCITED OVER UNIMPORTANT THINGS LIKE WHO DRIVES THE BIGGEST CARS OR WHO HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CELL PHONES.

@Opelovely

You are a young thing yourself. Anything under 25 is a tenderoni. Trying to act all grown up.

Grab him by the nuts and squeeze them little by little.

@Poster

Try this. Go to her and tell "Hey, Junk in the trunk, I like your backyard. Can i get them digits"?

Try that and see what she says.

@Ibkaye

What are you still doing up so late? Don't you have to go to school 'morrow?

@Damola

Is Olu Falae dead??

@Winnteam

To be honest with you, i can't stand most of the Oyinbos but some Oyinbos are sweethearts. Despite what you hear about racism in America, America has become a melting pot. Every Nation in the world has a citizen in America. America is the only few country that i know that rewards honesty and hard work. No doubt, there is racism but in my opinion the racism in Nigeria is worst that the one in USA. I've seen companies lose millions of Dollars over racism and i have seen white boys lose their lively hood over being a racist. There is racism but it's not as blatant as it used to be.

Nigeria has tried in the effort to eradicate fraud but i think the so-called EFCC is a ruse by Obasanjo to shut down the opposition and i hope it bite him in the butt. Until when people like Babangida, Obasanjo Atiku etc etc are given a fair trial and brought to account for their roles in the looting of the treasury, then i will say the fraud eradication scheme is only a cosmetics.

@Vicade

No place is Eldorado. And no one is saying Nigeria is not great but the leaders and some citizens of Nigeria are far from great. There are some countries in Europe that can not even boast of half of Nigerian resources and yet they prosper. Americans are very greedy and that's why they fall trap of these 419 letters but how many letters have you received from an American claiming to be the Governor of the central bank of USA? Nothing like that exists because they know that their is a heavy price to be paid for such acts. And when Americans do fraud, they invest the fraud in their own land. Not take it to a bank in Africa. Nigeria keep abusing one opportunity after the other because of bad management and horrible leadership. NIGERIA WILL EVENTUALLY GET TO THE PROMISE LAND AND BE A GREAT NATION BUT NOT IN THIS GENERATION. THIS GENERATION IS WASTED AND TOO STUBBORN.

@E-Monkey

Sorry for the insults but i get really mad at the situation Nigeria is in. And it does no good putting bandage on a bad injury. I pray for Nigeria everyday and i hope a miracle will happen soonest. We can not continue this way, these innocent kids needs hope and a good life.

@E-monkey

Yeah that's what i thought, No reasons huh? Don't let scotland yard know that you are on the internet or else you will be scooped back into that cage. Now get off the internet and quit behaving like a loose Monkey.

@E-Monkey

Yeah right. Why don't you tell us the reason why you ran back home. I love Nigeria with a passion and i'm getting ready to visit again. You must be one of those Obasanjo boys that lives in illusions. Get a grip and face the fact. Let your actions defend all that you have, including Nigeria !!! Cooping up in a cyber cafe sending out 419 Email is detrimental to the country.

@somze

I'm very sure of it. When we air the truth, the corrupt politicians won't able to breath. We can not keep doing the same thing over and over again lying to ourselves that Nigeria is great. Even Ordinary Ghana is making a headway. Let's have a national debate on the TV, radio, Internet, churches, mosques etc etc. Let's expose our ills and if you see a corruption or anything detrimental to the health of the nation, call the authorities.

@vicade

Give me a positive thing about Nigeria that i need to shout for joy??

@Vicade

Are you serious?? You think Lagos life represent the whole of Nigeria?? Get real bro'. There are so many kids in the north and even in the rural areas of the south that can not even go to the hospital when they get sick. I was at UCH in Ibadan recently and i literally shed tears listening to what some Doctors are saying about what sick people can afford to pay for medical expenses. They had to take up collections for some patients. I know some of the western media over sensationalize their story about Africa but some worrisome things do happen. Some kids are fixated on the same diets day in and day out. The salvation of any nation begins with an honest evaluation of the state of that nation. Let us not be afraid to air our dirty laundry they can only get better when we open them up.

@Oziomatv

Sorry for the insults bro' but some Nigerians are just a victim of their own imaginations. They get excited over some BS instead of facing the realities of life and how sick our society has become. He wants me to defend a nation that is being sold to the highest bidder. E-monkey belongs to the same group as that pig in Otta. He paid billions of dollars to foreign businesses for electricity that is non-existence. He wants me to defend a nation that her kids are dying of starvation while a monkey in Agbada is stacking his foreign bank accounts with the country's treasury. I represent Nigeria by working extremely hard and being honest in my dealings and sending my hard earned Dollars home to pay for some form of taxes. Now i wish Nigeria could do the same for me.

@Oziomatv

Exactly Bro". Or about some nigerian friends start withdrawing from you soon as they found out about your profession.

@E-Monkey

That's exactly my point, you worked in UK for 15 years and got deported. I can see why you are bitter. I'll only defend a nation that is true to herself. Why would i defend some @sshole seeking to be an overnight millionaire? Defending a country that exposes her smelly Butt to the world. An ordinary election, Nigeria can not conduct. We change and impeach governors like they are out of fashion when we all know that most of these politicians have no business in politics or ruling Nigeria. can you imagine a governor like that chap in Oyo state? It's ridiculous !

@Oziomatv

True that, but some of these guys are annoying when they read a fiction and start presenting that rubbish like it's a fact. I know that not all crimes committed by Africans are Nigerian. Matter of fact there are some Ghanaians that got busted and claimed to be Nigerians. but still, Nigerians are doing whole of atrocious things.

@Oziomatv

see bro'. the most annoying thing about the whole issue is that these @ssholes called Nigerian Politicians loot the treasury and bring it to the western banks and when they die like Mobutu did, a white boy sits on the money. Now, How many Oyinbos do we know that steal money in his country and bring it to an African country? They use that money to invest or establish something in their own land. Some set of Nigerian doctors got arrested few years back, these guys were buying big houses in the states. They go to Lagos and start throwing expensive parties with money stolen from Medicare fraud. they didn't know that FBI was on their tail until they got arrested. They were boasting of hiring good lawyers and all. They were shocked when FBI presented their evidences in court. They showed these guys on tape in Lagos boasting about fraud and throwing parties among other evidences. Those Nigerian guys were shell shocked. They plea bargain quick and now in prison serving like 10 years in prison.

@E-monkey

I would rather serve Oyinbo than slave in my own country. At least Oyinbo people provide me with the basis life necessities and some more. You are slaving for some northern idiots that can barely even rule his household and here you are running your stupid mouth. It's people like you that makes me feel ashamed to be a Nigerian. I wonder when was the last time you experience electricity? ordinary clean drinkable water na wahala. Olosi !

@3rd Hunter

Check this out, there is this Nigerian guy that. He goes by 3 different names on numerous identification cards. This fool got arrested in his house with $500,000 cash in his house. The local FBI found so many Credit card applications in his house they couldn't count them. and this is the same idiot that has been deported about 4 times. another one was caught for duping big companies like ENRON, MCI etc, etc. the list goes on and on. Even though i love naija with a passion, i can't help but be ashamed of her people sometimes.

@E-monkey

Yeah in your dreams, you freaking buttbreath. You are cooped up in one cyber cafe writting crap defending idiots that suppose to rut in Jail. Yeah security guard in your dreams, i work at the pleasures of Mr President. Freaking @sswipe, go find you a job and get the fu ck out of fraud.

@stillwater

amen to that. You can say that again. " as for me and my house we will always serve the good Lord". !

@Poster

Yep, If he's worth the effort. It makes life a little easier. But whenever he takes you back and the first thing he wants is ex, run baby girl. He's just trying to get a piece of @ss and dump you. If he is patient and tells you things that makes sense and not sex sex and sex. If he treats you with respect and takes you out to nice and decent places then he is willing to rekindle the fire of love. Good luck.

@E-monkey

You name says it all. What would you know anyways, you are probably in one cyber cafe posting crap. My work allows me access to see the crimes Nigerians get involves in. Over an over again you see 8 in 10 nigerians getting arrested are usually for some form of wire fraud. I don't expect you to know more than the book of a hungry author. And since you are so fascinated by the work of fictions than fact, i refuse to argue with novice. Have a good day sir.

I see the sky, birds are flying, blue skies too

and i think to my self, what a wonderful world. ahhhhhhh

Do you guys know the difference between love and like? You might be fond of someone and yet know where to draw the line. Love conquers all barriers and lines.
