Soon you say? That's a false hope o.

the pedophiles are increasing NP thanks to the culture of silence and hypocrisy

Or

Maybe one baba has told him for him to be wealthy he has to rape his 2year old daughter

But seriously, my head is spinning trying to imagine what would draw a father to his 2year old. Many people need to be healed.

This is somehow worse than someone being a pedophile. What on earth is arousing in a 2 year old? This is really sick..

In other words, she's carrying a Toyota Camry on her head everywhere she goes even if she has to keel hopping from one damfo into another.

Africa is not divided by mere tribalism and religion, its being divided by those who exploit certain borrowed religions for monetary gains.

Every ideology the white European has given Africa only serve to prolong our subjugation, whether economically or intellectually. Africa expanded into Europe and achieved great academic heights with the adoption of certain other religions, so we cannot just blame religion. Religion gave Africans morals and put an end to sacrificial killings.

Education is indeed under the shadow of European hegemony, we are in their era of dominance.

You can talk about sacrificial killings as far as religion is concerned. But morals, I won't agree probably because I'm from South-West Nigeria. The morals in my land has more rigidity than some of those shown in the Bible.

Yet nevertheless, I've come to realize that Islam and Christianity especially are just tools that selfish individuals conjure for their own selfish gains. Even till today, the Bible has been the most abused religious book by oppressors and it takes God to open ones eyes to see those.

Talking about globalization and the likes, the UN is just a peg to monitor weaker nations. World powers don't adhere to the rules of the UN and when the leader of a weak nation call the bluff of IMF, the country better be prepared because they'll stage sanctions against the country to keep it economically subjugated forever.

No country is rich indeed among the world power, in my opinion. All their riches are just what they've gotten living off the wealth of other nations.

NotComplaining:
Afrocentric leaders like Mugabe, Idi Ameen and Mandela reflected an alternative, albeit punitive, indigenous style of government that saw the overthrow of European lords.

Mobutu's rule lacked authenticity as he exploited a tumultuous period in Congo politics and deposed the erstwhile successive government of Patrice Lumumba, a true afrocentric leader who was quick to wrestle authority from the Belgians and paid with his life.

When we speak of Mugabes failures, we must do so within the bounds of context. Yes we know Mugabe was a prodigal, but he maintained a very African identity and put the black plight at the forefront of his political and military struggles.

White Europeans love describing Mugabes tenure as a despotic one simply because of the pervasive poverty which they are totally responble for. Europeans have the leverage on financial institutions since they were first to adopt the modern form of exchange, fiat currency and created many of the regulations that hold the system in place.

Any Afrocentric leader has no choice but to use the financial system propped up by the Europeans until an opportunity avails itself.

When you say cancer to describe the mistakes of Afrian leaders I cant help but think you speak with European influence.

I'm not going to deny speaking with European influence. They make the education system that was loaded into my brain and even though up to my first degree, I schooled in the country, it was the leftover education passed down to us that I had.
At this age and time, Africans need to wake up from our slumbers of tribalism, religiosity and so on. All of those factors are just being used to further enslave our minds while our leaders have been blinded to believe that what happens to the homeless boy on the street will never get to their children.
Need I say, it's becoming stale to keep ourselves in the avenue of excuses of what the colonial masters did. We can still call the bluff of them, we can still liberate Africa, we can still show the world that the black race is not only superior in bedroom activities but we are the same as every other race despite the prejudices and hatred we've suffered from the Aryan race for thousands of years.

NotComplaining:
Africans need to get rid of the current eurocentric political style of governance. We especially are its arch enemies, historic rivals.

Democracy help Europeans interfere with our politics and always seems to bend in their favor no matter the condition, but why shouldnt it? Why else will a militarized monarchy like Britain devise a political system for all her satelites?

The common wealth states excluding those predominated by whites all share a common state of pitiful existence.

Where are Africas fanatically nationalistic leaders? Why havent we had one since Mandela? Is it that democracy filters them out so that what is left are complacent zombies?

This your very last paragraph really got me. And I'm beginning to think that fighting any internal war is much more deadlier than an outside war. For Mandela, Mugabe (at the start) and some nationalists like them, the fight was against the whites. The enemy was visible and every African were mobilized against their domination of Africans in our lands.

After some of them got hold of power, they became cancerous to the system. See what became of Mugabe. What about Mobutu who called himself "conqueror of Great Britain"? Black man fighting black man who's oppresively ruling his country is much more dangerous than black man fighting white men. The same ideology of divide and rule is what the imperialists are still using to dominate African countries while our own African leaders use divide and rule through religion, tribes and so on.
Educationally, we're held down; culturally, we're caught in the middle; technologically, we're feeding on crumbs that fall off the white man's table with our technological resources buried deep in the earth.
As long as I'm alive, I still see hope for Africans even though sometimes it's really so overwhelming when I see chains of challenges holding us down.

Hmmm...

Perhaps I wouldn't have believed that globalization and co are euphemism for imperialism and continuous colonialism had it been that African countries exercised government systems without interference of the Western world.
While Britain only modernized its monarchy and combined it with a unitary system of government, African societies eradicated the political systems that had served them for thousand of years before white man ever discovered Africa.

They got the black man caught in the middle and we need to look up to them to decide which political system we should practice. Despite choosing one which seems to be the best, our societies are crumbling and the brains we have in the continent are drawn to the better living conditions in the white man's land and the black man, the most degraded race is still suffering serious brain drain. This is a tragedy that'll be solved whenbwe start calling the bluff of the Western powers by looking inward for solutions to our challenges.

Righteousness89:
The Reason of the Season is the Birth of JESUS CHRIST!

The Reason for JESUS Birth is to Save Mankind for Eternal Destruction!

Celebrating Christmas without Having the KING of kings as your LORD and Saviour is a Wasted Celebration!

Hmmmmm


Save Mankind FROM eternal destruction you mean right? It actually goes beyond that. God is not a destructive God. Punishment only became necessary because some angels spearheaded by Lucifer wanted to usurp God's throne. Mankind was not created to partake in it at all until man also disobeyed God, the punishment then became necessary unless he's redeemed.

The redemption story meanwhile is actually meant to restore man to the original state before the fall; that man may have dominion over everything under the earth as God purposed when He created man.

So the redemption story is man going back to what God initially planned for him.

Modified : like you rightly put it, celebrating Christmas is useless until Jesus become the Lord and Saviour of one's life.

FILEBE:
Some people did not watch the video o. Just come here to comment rubbish . It is okay

I, personally and by myself came here to read what Nigerians will say when someone said "Nigeria is a better country than. ..". Honestly speaking, the fun of Nairaland nay, any forum is not just in the topic, the major chunk is in people's comments. And I love it.

notoriousbabe:
Rubbish

Thanks for sharing this. I read every bit of it and I'm still wondering why I didn't hear anything about the woman before now.

Kolombz:
This is height of extreme stupidity.I thought it is only the whites that are capable of such daft antics.The lady is a disgrace to herself,her family,friends,her future husband and her unborn children.They should have allowed her to go ahead with the suicide.That would have reduced the number of stupid people we have in this country by one.
The reprehensible manner in which most of our youths worship our yeyebrities nauseates me.

That's to tell you that we've successfully imported the attitudes of the whites which we used to see as moronic and idiotic. I'm afraid we might need to start preparing for kids shooting sporadically like they do in US even though bearing arms is illegal here.

mrrights:
What has those ones who have ruled their state give us? They brought Nigeria here.

Hashim for example is a global business man, with investment in 4 continents of the world.

So, you think someone who has 27years of global business experience, dealing with global leaders and industry experts needs to lead a state?

Hashim has all it takes to put the country on the right track

It's not about Hashim alone, it's about all of them. Let them gain the trust of the entire populace first. Nigerian politics especially the presidency has a way it brings out the beast in humans. The present governor of my state was a MD for Mobil West Africa, amidst other great business leadership he held. When he became governor, the story changed though he wasn't entirely bad. Let Hashim and co build names for themselves in Nigerian political arena like Osinbanjo and Atiku have done.

As much as I'd like to be an optimistic Nigerian, I don't trust any of these political newbies. If they really want to show us they have what it takes to govern Nigeria, let them gain our trust by ruling their respective states and transforming them. If not, I don't trust them to win or to lead well should they win. They are as Atiku and Buhari.

Let Durotoye, Olawepo and co except Donald Duke go back to their respective states. Let's see what ideas, innovation, skills, sincerity, integrity and love for Nigeria they've got. I tell you, it will be easier for them to clinch Nigeria's presidency or else, they'll just keep splitting votes for the same corrupt politicians we've always had.

Reading all these, one would think that the purpose a man exists is to be a plaything for woman or to have a good social standing with woman. Everything is just about "self-esteem, self-image and self, self, self. It's time men evolve. Our lives are not meant to revolve around ladies alone.

CAPSLOCKED:
NIGERIANS ARE TOO FAKE AND IDIOTIC. IMAGINE THEIR REACTIONS ON TWITTER, AS IF THIS IS NOT A USUAL SIGHT IN THE COUNTRY. SOME ARE ASKING FOR WAYS TO REACH THOSE IN THE VIDEO (TO APPEAR EMPATHETIC PUBLICLY) AS IF THERE AREN'T MANY OTHERS ESPECIALLY CHILDREN AROUND THE STREETS AND OPEN PLACES.
CONFUSED DELUSIONAL HYPOCRITES.

Bro, if you have something to do for them, please do. If those commenters are really gonna help, let them. It's possible to see the same sight every day without making a move until someone magnifies that sight. In any capacity we can improve humanity, with whatever will motivate us to; let's just do it. Let's leave the hypocritical and the deluded alone, let's just do what we can.

My joy reading the comments was that people are willing to help. Let's forget our politicians. If it's possible to change the political elite circle, it would have been nice. But worse people are most likely going to replace them. So whenever we see folks like that, let's just help them. It could have been anyone of us.

But most black people no black reach this level nau. Even children will run away on sighting these.

Wow...
This is something that's getting depressed over because I imagine how I'd feel having speech difficulty of any kind. I'm not a speech pathologist o but bro, maybe you can try talking to yourself when you're alone. That way, you'll communicate without any inhibition and you can even sing aloud when alone. If you're able to do that for some time, you'd see your speech confidence level filling up and you'll see improvements.

I thought I was the only one thinking that way o. Linda is about to make the little child another disaster to her life with all these nonsense just to cover up for her mistakes.

He is sportistically 16. Period!

Congrats to them. So many babies on this Nairaland BTW.

I was on 4G also and connection stopped after I used less than 1/10 of my subscription. They told me it would be resolved but nothing happened till 860mb went away like that. Airtel meanwhile has been stealing airtime from my phone till now.

dustmalik:
Please don't mind the OP. I've been using Airtel for the past two months and I haven't experienced what the OP described. Though I'm on 4G all the time, maybe it's only peculiar in 3G areas.

sankky:
There is a complete erosion of values and respect for womanhood going on in Nigeria right before our eyes and we think its modernization.
A woman is here flaunting the fact that so many men had unprotected sex with her that culminated in the birth of a baby.....we even have someone else claiming to be the baby's dad; which implies that he was one of her numerous sex mates who had unprotected sex with her... (an implication she doesn't deny).
Women do not know they are shooting themselves in the foot by creating the impression that they should be treated like sex objects, hoes and without respect.
Even Linda Ikeji is too rich to fit into a marriage.... So she scripted a relationship with a man and acted her part so well that it was piloted to crash weeks after birthing the child and even the church partook in the celebration.
The bubble will finally burst one day.
A time is coming in Nigeria when men will rather have babies with these shameless Nigerian girls but will import wives with tolerable social history.
Talk about love? Materialism has firmly overthrown it in Nigerian love circles.
At least the Muslims are getting their acts right here.
The future will tell.

Aptly written.
That is the result of having a sense of freedom without any sense of responsibility. We believe we're free and the mostly promoted aspect of Christianity these days is the part that pushes our freedom. But the responsibility aspect, we've neglected. We even rejected our social/cultural norms which supports responsibility with freedom. Everyone do what they like without having a rethink but when the consequences come, we'll suffer for it as a society. Like you rightly said, only time will tell.

Lexusgs430:
We still dey this minimum wage mata? South Africa's minimum wage is over N120K........


This politicians would never burn on a cooker, they all deserve wildfire burning...........

I wanted to tell you not to compare South Africa and Nigeria's economy and I just remembered that NIGERIA'S ECONOMY IS REGARDED AS LARGER THAN THAT OF SOUTH AFRICA. THESE POLITICIANS HAVE NO EXCUSE. IN FACT, THEY'RE SHAMELESS FOR DRAGGING MINIMUM WAGE OF LESS THAN #100K.

Even though funding is poor but UITES musr shine wherever they are. I'm proud to be a UITE.

ngwababe:
Congrats sis

In other news,

What will happen when you start criticizing those you mentioned last?
