@ kobo,

Thanks for the insight. If u really have that energy and time you can break it down; kindergarten style for those finding it difficult to see the reasons behind your points. There are still grown up kids here.


Nigerians and their hypocrisy knows no limit  

If you really feel the way you express above, may I suggest you completely avoid this thread as the thread is for those who do not have WHITEMAN issues and are at least willing to address the fact that we do have an image problem that needs to be solved somehow. This has NOTHING to do with WHITEMAN or what you think of them. Instead, this is more about the state of life for millions of people who live in Nigeria.

   

Developing and cleaning up Nigeria is the inalienable, irreducible duty of Nigerian citizens. On the other hand it is also the patriotic duty of Nigerians to be law-abiding and to present a positive image of Nigeria to interested foreigners.

100 percent correct and no one is debating that fact. That is how it should be. You do not force your citizens to say good things about their country especially when all is well with the so called land. It reflects in their day to day life and the citizens will willingly say good things about their country without no one reminding them that they have to be patriotic and law abiding.

[are you 5 years old? why show you a report card? is it to mock you or to make you face your failings and challenge you to do better. But then again, if you have been lying to your parents about how fantastic you are, your report card will not lie.]

For those who do not understand the essence of the topic, pls see the quote above before making comments pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssseeeeeeeee.

Bidemi and kobo thx a lot including other like minds.

One day, I took a taxi, pls do not get me wrong. Not in a foreign country but right here in the contraceptive called Nigeria , Lagos to be precise. This little trip about 30 mins drive from one point to the other brougth out the best questions any taxi driver in  Nigeria could possibly ask. Let me cut it short. This are some of the questions.

1. Why are we killing ourselves   and yet claim we are warm and accommodating people

2. Why is there power outages or no power at all as if electricity has not been discovered.

3. Is there any reason in this world to explain  teachers/lecturers salaries not been paid and sometimes going upward for months and yet we claim that we have abundant resources.
4 Why are our educational institutions always on strike and yet we claim that Nigerians are intelligent and have leadership qualities.

5. why are our road networks so bad and yet those in power claim to release billions of money for road maintainance and development.

6. Why do our so called government functionaries always travel abroad to seek for medical help as if every Nigerian is entitled to do so .

7. Why are our best minds not in Nigeria. What is it that they find conducive in a foreign country that Nigeria cannot provide for them as a foundation to improve in their field of calling.

8. Why so much refuse dump that can lie uncatered for for months and sometimes years.

9. Why does our law enforcement agencies take laws into their own hands before someone is prounounced quilty as charged. ie Why do we have men in uniform that beat, whip, harass and intimidate  civilians .

10. Why is unemployment so high for young and inspiring minds after graduation.

In truth, i was not able to provide any answers to this questions. He could have gone on and on but fortunately or unfortunately i reached my destination, paid him more than his dues and found  way out of the taxi.

In the course of our acquaintance, i found out he was one of the numerous graduate (Yabatech) but fortunately and according to him '' had to do something negative to get money to buy me these taxi after so many years of hopelessness but will never do such a thing again in my life because i have something now to sustain a living''.

Nigeria 4 u.

I think it was a joke, my op

;d ;d

lack of confidence; no self believe

They lack absolute confidence. Unfortunately they worsened it,  being too greedy with the ball.
Except the one and only Eyeama

@ Kobojunkie and bk/babe97,

It's not Ibo but Igbo,

@ezeagu,

The contraceptive called Nigeria exactly. For some, it is suffering and smiling for others it is the pretence that all is well .

The most funny thing is that those that pretends that all is well know in their hearts and souls that all is not and will never be until that contraption is totally dismantled.

The pretending group of people who make up a sizeable amount  choose to close their eyes and look the other way round are the errand boys and girls working for the criminal cabals. These group always wait for crumbs to fall from the CANNIBALS.

The other group of people [suffering and smiling] are simply naive and ignorant. They really and honestly do not know that all is not well with the contraceptive called Nigeria. And they make up the greater majority in that contraption. I will call them the masses.

I rest my case, he who have ears let him hear

@ Kobojunkie,

It is Igbo and not Ibo

@ezeagu,

It is indeed a shame to know that some of the different groups of people that was forced into that contraption pretend not to see that the very ''contraceptive'' into which they were boxed does not and will never allow for the free flow of growth and development to permeate into that contraption called Nigeria. Haba after 48 years, we are still discussing food, shelter and clothing issues.

He who have ears let him hear.

He who have ears let  him hear.

For more than 48 years Nigerians have been waiting in vain to see that contraption called Nigeria attain its promised height but have been painfully and psychologically disappointed. Man, after 48 years since the ''white man'' left us to manage our affairs.

But it is a pity and shame that after all this years, we are still struggling to provide the basic of necessities for our people.

Some groups of people wants to leave some groups say no. We must all remain in that cesspit even though when that contraption called Nigeria have been unable to provide the essentials of life and security for all these groups of people after 48 YEARS. After 48 years i say it again.

48 years is a long time for a country to be able to provide at least the primary needs of existence and if after this years it is not able to do so, then we should be wise enough to know that such a contraption will never be able to do so in the next 48 years. It is a true definition of a failed contraption.

I always ask myself this question: after the 2nd world war ended, how long did it take the countries involved especially Germany to rebuild. This is a country that was levelled to the ground and i mean to pieces. I do not think i have to state the rest. Your guess is as good as mine.

Those that wants a certain group of people to continue to remain in a cesspit contraption but fail woefully to come up with a  development strategy to move the contraption out of the cesspit are the biggest HYPOCRITES AND SYCOPHANTS ever to roam the face of the planet.

Those that have ears let them hear

@Kobojunkie

I agree with you 100 percent.

I will continue to remain pessimistic about Nigeria until all those criminals who are still walking freely with their ill gotten wealth are brought to justice. My opinion.
What type of interaction and opinion does GJ think of getting through Facebook that the masses have not made known to the various criminal president since the so called independence of that contraption called Nigeria.

If GJ is a Nigerian, born and grew up in Nigeria, he does not have to search far to see and hear the cries of the people and what the Nigerian people badly wants. The suffering, voices and weeping of the Nigerian people should be enough of a facebook.

The question is : Do Nigerians need jobs, do we need electricity, water, house, food, good roads, schools, hospitals etc. The answer is yes and if yes, what are the plans of the current administration in achieving these basics and primary essentials of life.
If he does not have any plans instead of embarking on Obama style campaign  he should honestly resign and never think of contesting any election in Nigeria for the rest of his life.

The truth is that for those trying in vain to compare the dissemination of information between the USA and the contraption called Nigerian should know that the former have already succeeded in providing the essentials of life for its citizens while the latter have not been able to do so.

Mr GJ go and do your homework, just go to work, go to work for God sake. This is no time to start these old and pretentious attitude to hear opinions from Nigerians. Have you not heard enough? You know what the people need or don't you. If you do not please kindly resign honourably, but if you do then go to work.

They should even pay back the money they are owing to the masses due to many years of inefficient services and corruption. Every mess the consumers. Nigerian masses are not yet ripe to carry any other increment in what so ever utility.
Let them  get all the stolen money and take care of there so called rresponsibilities

Yes na o, jingle bell, jingle bell Godfather wants money fast . Jingle bell, Jingle bell election is around the corner.

Second base o jare.

from Akigbemari,

For real, Biafrans still waiting for REVENGE? Even if you pray to God to win against Almighty Yoruba, he will ask you to sh.ut the f up; because you will definitely lose.
Our can Ibo group win Yoruba when numbers and manpower not on your side?
You all know, we have more than 150 million yorubas in both North and South Americas.
I will ask those yorubas in Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia not to fight you.
We have more than 30 million yorubas just in Mid-east.
Let just my Yoruba people in common Iraq fight you. They are known as black Iraqis, they numbered more than 3 millions.

And why do you think that there are more than 150 million Yoruba's in both North and South Americas, over 30 million in Mid -east ?  I tell you the reason. The yYorubas have no mind of their own and hence no conscience.

You people sold a lot of your own kind to the slave Masters.  You betray ed a lot of your people because you were the weakest and the most cowardly.

Use your cowardly head before you post comments here because you might as well shoot yourself and your kind in your next post. Just an advice .
Go and know your history it might help your cowardly soul

Bloody cowards and betrayals.

@ honeric01 and jobman. More grease to your elbows. That is it.

Nairalanders, nigerians home and  abroad forget the government. Just forget about this people. Let us talk about ourselves and what we can do to make things better even if the long term effects of our honest, radical fellowership does not bring the immediate and desired results but for our children, children children.

Our fathers did nothing and so the children of today must face the consequences . Now it is our turn.
Thesame old story since independence. We trusted our leaders, our fathers trusted them and so adopted the aimless siddon and look approach hoping that through prayes and God things will definitely get better. From better to worse, the children of today are still sitting and lookin´.

I have a question for all of us : What should we the followers do to change things?
I have an idea, revolution all the way. Who is ready?
Anyone one politician that have tasted power since independence and still lives today must die because they all took part in killing the hopes, aspirations and soverignty of their own people.

@megadeath,

What else can yo say about the crux of the matter. Absolutely nothing. Where is your logical reasoning as regards the matter at hand. I asked you a simple question in my previous post that was directed personally to you and i am still waiting for your answer. I ask you again,  how long did your brotherhood rule and destroyed Nigeria?

Go again and read my previous post and that very post was as a result of this

Civilians are having a field day denigrating me and the rest of my brotherhood,,,,,,,,,,,,,,because of one man,s mistakes,,,,,,,s,ok sha, u can all run ur mouths,,,,,,,,,,,,,and ur fingers,,,,,,,,,,,twill do the nation good,,,,,,,,,,,,but KNOW that if u eva feel inclined to assume,insult,disrespect,,,,,,any of us,worse treatment will be meted out to you;;;;;;;sue me

Ten of your type never scare me. What do you and your Sh*t brotherhood expect from the nigerian civilians? You expect what? Ok , i should not run my mouths because of one man´s mistake. Ok you say it is a mistake.  I see your reasoning is very shallow, but i will not blame a misguided teenager when the act of youthful exuberance comes into play.

Listen carefully mr megadeath, I know your lot, the  prospective would- be- brothers in crime and oppression.
Your lot are chiken livered who hide under the military and beat up helpless civilians
Your lots steal arms and ammunition and sell  them to robbers.
Your lots are the type that set up  illegal checkpoint and stripe innocent civilians of their hand earned money. You even go to the extent of killing and burning their cars.
Your lots are the type that go to the extent of renting out their uniforms to criminals for how much? I can go on and on.
Your lots join the military not because of the love you have for your country but as a measure of last resort to continue where your sh*t ass Oga stopped.  You want to be like oga. Have animals as escorts. The list is endless.

I do not know what you learn in the NDA.   You are not the first neither will you be the last.  There have been few intelligent and smart soldiers that wanted the best for the Nigerian military, but realised long time ago that the problem with the nigerian military is not the military itself but the laws and regulation of the politics of nigerian in relation to the military.
The military has a responsibility upon itself vis a vis their responsibility as regards the nation called nigeria. The latter responsibility is the greatest and is missing. That is the reason the NDA dole out chunks of  sick metal heads who believe that their sole responsibility is within their brothers in crime. So, when Oga says slap that bloody civilian, your lots jump out like cave men and exhibit the heigth of irresponsibility. You are all idiots.

Now you want to flex the little muscles you have just for the fact that you are in the NDA:
ok, i will tell you where to meet me.
Come to mile two where the area boys used to hang. Come not in uniform, just like a civilian and let us flex our biceps. you are an idiot.

Mr megadeath. Listen very very carefully.
Your days are numbered. You headless women lost your respect and reputation as military men long time ago.
Personally for me ,the Nigeria civilians have taken upon the responsibility of defending themselves from all manners of atrocities and crime, including the harassment and victimization from the Armed Forces who are supposed to protect.

Listen again, never you talk about brotherhood because the military is not supposed to be a brotherhood but an organisation that should provide security for the nation.

Mr man listen, you never ask a man for respect , you earn respect and it is automatic. Your action will speak for you.

And if the Nigerian civilians are disrespecting you and your so called brotherhood, then be wise enough to know that you and your brotherhood have irresponsibly failed in your duties to earn that respect.

Mr Man listen very very carefully you can come here and threaten us the civilians because you know very well that the Nigerian civilian are coward (no disrespect to the civilians). Always afraid. `i no want die, i get one house, i no get child , i get one child, i no build house´´( Respect Fella).

But remember mr man that your time is coming. Your guns, whips and every other instruments that you use to terrorize civilians will not threaten the civilians anymore. And when that day comes, there will be no place for you and your corrupt brotherhood to hide. You and your brotherhood will be found and castrated.

The military was in power. For how long have you and your brotherhood ruled or destroyed Nigeria, Mr megadeath answer that question.
And you come here and open your mouth and talk about the civilians disrespecting you. Shut the F*  k up.

What you do in Liberia and Dafur does not interest me. What you do at home is what interest me. You do well outside, the world will hail you, you come home and become idiots, the civilians will disrespect you. As simple as ABC. Earn your respect and please shut the F* K up.

And i hope that you and your brotherhood now knows how to diffuse a bomb. If you do not know, it will make your fall faster when the time comes. Then i guess you never learned anything from the real military men that came to show you and your brotherhood what to be military  during the Lagos Bomb Blast.

Mr megadeath, well your name, i think that is the name your dumb ass brotherhood gave you. You always see death. Everything is death and mega. From that name of yours, i have a perfect idea why you joined your babaric brotherhood and what you think about the Nigerian civilians 24 7, 365.

Listen to me, you are very lucky to be in a country where the populace lick your ass and can go down on their knees while you and your brotherhood use their backs as dinning tables.

You do not deserve to be here.
MegaShit watch your back.

Always a pity and pity it was.
The same old story. I do not think that since Nigeria claimed to be independent as a country, the Nigerian military have ever understood what their primary responsibility is.

Since i was born, i always hear and see how military men harrass and intimidate civilians in a country they are supposed to defend and pity enough the situation have not changed.

Enquires upon enquires, panel upon panel, commisson upon commision and then case closed. Life continues, the normal suffering and smiling.

The next time, in your very eyes the same appalling intimidation is melted out upon a civilian and life goes on. The media, the press makes the headline describing the abomination and the readers read in awe, with unbelievable eyes.

No be today i don dey here this kind of story . e don tey.

Fela said it all.

What can we the citizens do to change this babarism? Forget the system, it does not work. Stopped working long time ago. Ok it never worked.

Believe me, thesame military men that have once had an enquiry set up as a result of their misconduct are still the ones betraying their responsibilities because they never learned nothing.

For how long we go hear this kind story self? Me i don tire to hear am

White does not give a Bleep about anything black and breathing whether you are a president, minister, governor or whatever
If the whole of the black presidents were in that show, and if the dogs feel like harrasing or intimidating you as a presidents, you cannot do shit as a blackman and they know this, thesame way they treated the Osuofia and co will be thesame treatment they will melt out to them.

Since we are unable to provide the common essentials of life for our people, who will treat us with respect as blacks.

No matter what level of education or position you hold as a black man or woman, you are nothing in the eyes of the world but only something when you are useful to them in that particular point in time and after that you see the real face of the dogs.

According to PAC ''Its a white man's world''.

@Flex06,
You have food to eat, clothes to wear and of course a house to sleep.
With all of this provisions at your reckless disposal, you are bound forever to believe what you see and hear and not to know.
