You forgot to add America.

America is NOT homogenous

biotechshola:
Oga ethnic groups is not our problem but the lack of willingness to live together in peace... Go and find out the number ethinic groups In China, Japan, Russia and so on..

Help me tell him.


We have just refused to be reasonable in the country

Ask a Yoruba man same he will be blabbing

The funny thing is police in Croatia collect bribes and if you are black and walk around in Zagreb, they look at you like you're an alien....

Please stop these tomfoolery!

Nigeria is still a shithole though.

police collect bribes everywhere

but unlike one shithole I know, it's not done brazenly elsewhere

Even in America their police is corrupt

Patrioticooduan:
This is what you get when a country is united by a similar language, culture, and history. You live like one big family. African countries are not like this. The Europeans lumped hundrends of ethnic groups into one so that they fight each other for dominance. This way they can be easily controlled. This is what they used in the slave trade. The European slave owners mixed people from different ethnic group so that won't be united to oppose them. Today, France and England still colonise us.
European countries are split along ethnic lines. Even Scandinavian countries are not excluded.
Sweden is dominated by ethnic Swedes.
Norway is dominated by ethnic Norwegians.
Denmark is dominated by ethnic Danish.
Iceland is dominated by ethnic Icelandics.
Finland is dominated by ethnic Finns.
Greenland is dominated by ethnic Greenlandics.
Why can't ethnic Yorubas have their own country?
Why can't ethnic Igbos have their own country?
Why can't Hausas live on their own?
What we live together when we can do better on our own?

Is the US homogenous?

what of Britain?


Belgium?

Singapore?

what Canada and Switzerland?

The answer is NO

even the so called Homogenous people are not in the real sense of It.

France and Italy were all different tribes and people lumped together before a language was agreed on and they became one


Africans are just unserious people, and if you like balkanise the continent, it is still the same mess that will exist.

Netanyahu1:
everything in Nigeria is turned upside down if not brickayers in developed world are comfortable as the middle class, moreover Nigerians only consider you successful if you have tons of money , civil advanced societies disagree

Theres always dignity in labor. Make money that you did not work for simply amounts to stealing period.

it's the truth bro

The Hardship in the country has driven the system upside down

That is why there is the craze to acquire so much money because you know that the govt does not have your back if you don't

Instead of just shooting the idea down
how about we think of why it cannot work, and then propose a better idea

that's how a country grows
not this destructive behaviour I see here

Blackfyre:
Awolowo was a useless leader because he provided free education to his people?

The premier of western region provided free education to the people he governed and you call it useless?

Say no more, i leave you be.

He gave free education which is laudable


but how did he help towards unifying the country? ?

He was an isolationist

Just like the rest of them back then


The effect of that is what we are facing today

Blackfyre:
@ugosample

I think you need to double check again. These are the ethnic groups in Ghana. Plus Ghana was formerly known as Ashanti Kingdom. There was virtually no kingdom that rivalled or was at par with them.

In Nigeria, i need not tell you the number of kingdoms we had and the ones that warred with each other before the British came.

guy I know Ghana like the Palm of my hand

I have lived there before and go there often

There are so many tribes, but they speak each others language

twi and ga

an average Ghanaian can speak two to three


they inter marry and think of themselves as Ghanaians first


but our leaders made us think tribe first.


this is where their uselessness is from

Blackfyre:
My part of founding fathers weren't useless. Chief Awolowo did very well for the southwest if not for anything for the free education.

I think if you want to blame, you should blame those who brought the military into power that made our country still wobbling in democracy. Everything was going smoothly prior to that coup. At least i can say so for the southwest. If the military had not come into power, fifty years of democracy would have done alot more good than the military.

Until we practice true federalism or region system, we will always keep having drawbacks. Perhaps we aren't ready to tell ourselves the truth in this country. Let every region or state use whatever resource at their disposal to do what is best for the people within it's region or state. This one doesn't stop Nigeria from being one. I don't see how this inconveniences anybody in this country at all or how whatever actions of founding fathers makes such unacheivable.

You spent sixteen billion dollars for power yet no power. Why don't you throw it to the regions to generate and distribute the power in whatever ways and resource opened to them since the center can't seem to make it work? Is it a must that the federal government provides electricity?

That onus is then on the state and respective regions to see how to make it work for them. Plenty things that aren't difficult to fix in this country but we just make things needlessly difficult for ourselves.

your first paragraph even proved that Awo was as useless as the rest

He was the one that called Nigeria "a mere geographically expression" and has always proved to be an isolationist

That character is still prevalent among a lot of Yoruba folk because of the precedent he set.

The first ten years of Nigeria's independence was our chance to unify and solidify the country

Ojukwu; Gowon, the national leaders et al blew it.


they were the ones segregating

Politicians today are still doing same

which kind wahala be this one now

Blackfyre:
When Ghana has ethnic groups numbering over two hundred and fifty, then you can judge Nigeria by Ghanaian standards.

Given the different entities that make up Nigeria plus the civil war, it's actually an admirable feat that the country still manages to hold a little of its own in the face of numerous challenges and external influences given their interests that have structured the country in a way to favour them.

Nigeria is a country with different ethnic group constantly at political struggle with each other divided by various sentiments and prejudices. It will take a very radical approach to set Nigeria on the right path. When we operated on regions was the best era of Nigeria, this federalism we claim to practice is not done to ita full extent all because of political interests of various parts of the country.

We have been at democracy since 99 and we are just about to pass a bill that will implement state police, how many had to die before the Senate found it was necessary? All because there is a distrust among ethnic groups or one political zone using it to its advantage.

Either we practice true federalism or we restructure. This system is obviously faulty.

Ghana has at least 60 to 100 tribes

that were just lucky to have an Nkrumah that unified them and made them see each other as the same and not different, not like our useless founding fathers that polarised us from day 1.


So that's not an excuse

AlterEnigma:
There was this video trending on Twitter of Croatia firefighters who left their world cup penalty shootout match against Russia in an instant to go attend to an Emergency.... and i was so sad to see the way Nigerians were finding faults in that video, some saying it was doctored or the quality of the camera was too clear to be true or cameras dont pan around, etc..
i was so sad that some Nigerians lacked exposure to what they saw before them,..

In any supposed reputable health related facility. they are always taught and it should always be taught that there's 1 second between Life and Death and that is what this croayians understand.

So it was really really sad the way some Nigerians attacked the credibility and swift response of their action

what do you expect?


The SOCIETY in which they were born and raised in is filled with filth, hence the shock when they see stuff like that.

namet:
How will you cool or freeze and preserve the sperm and eggs for many years without stable electricity? Take them to foreign countries and pay to store them there? Nigeria is not advanced and we won't be until there is electricity in the country.

So, trying to copy things we see and hear in America may make us feel good, but the reality on-ground will continue to stare us in the face.

Nigeria is a failed country. Whether we like to hear that or not does not change the reality we live in everyday. It is what it is!

it's what I say all the time

A failed country


But don't be too pessimism tho

it might actually work out

What do you mean by this?

This is nigeria, where people reject IVF, contraceptives, etc because the bible/quran doesn't allow it.

It's your father and generation who are mumu. You are very stupid to call distinguished academics perverts. Do you know what it takes to read to the level of PhD? People like you are the ones given randy academics money to messed their career

Mr. man forget it!

As a lecturer, you should not be in a mess like this.

if you must Bleep younger women, go for escorts

AreaFada2:
Dude, let's face it. MOST ladies are at it these days. NO MAN can claim his woman isn't doing it. I'd advise even married men not to be so bold to claim exclusivity. I know what I mean. Some of us are in the position to see all imaginable orisirisi.

So long you're not married, kindly accept that you're only a shareholder. Even if married, still only by Grace of God.
An averagely pretty lady on social media will be hit on by several men daily: rich, poor, average, handsome, local-based, foreign-based, stingy, generous, etc.

How many girls nowadays can resist all these men ALWAYS?

Around 35% of firstborn kids belong to another man outside. All those women who get pregnant and they quickly organise wedding before belly gets big. As a man if no DNA test done, OYO.

About 25% of all kids belong to another man outside.

A late wealthy relative of mine had kids with his wife in Nigeria. It later turned out all the kids were not his. He died mysteriously soon after. Only the kid he had with a European lady abroad is his (DNA proven). His 9ja wife had all the SUVs and money to use but still cheated recklessly.

By the time many girls are 16, they have learnt that men are the easiest way to make money. Their taste only increase with time.

In terms of promiscuity, women tower above men these days. Easily.

You are right

ClintonNzedimma:
it's ignorance, imagine someone up there asking if Ramos looks 32, I just laugh...When Ramos was in Sevilla, these guys obviously did not watch him.....as a Barça fan, I tend to follow our academy players, go and check out xavi simmons, a prodigy at our academy....in 6 years when he becomes an established star, Nigerians will start wondering why he looks older because of the way he groomed himself

The thing is that in Nigeria, because of the sick society it is; it's not very common to see young people achieve so much.

That is why falz will say he is under 28 and they will doubt

That is why Rose will say she is under 28 and they will doubt

Even at some point, Davido age was doubted

But if a truck pusher say he is 26, he is not lying on his age.

There are so many over 30s in that jungle roaming aimlessly, and struggling with no respite in sight. You really think they will be happy to see the under 28 doing far better than thry are

The doubting of age is a coping mechanism for many.

I don't know how else to explain it, but I'm sure you get the drill.

it's a shame really

Runalong333:
I dont think its right to call our home a zoo, naija might be bad currently but it is still our home and home to milliions , no mattrer where we live , we will always be nigerians .

A zoo is a zoo

Whether it's our country of origin or not


How can a country blessed like that have so much absurdities

You saw what happened in Ekiti

ClintonNzedimma:
Mr man, it's mostly Africans that cheat in their age, ever wonder why you can trace the records through their academy database unlike Nigeria, look at Mbappe, we all saw him 4 years ago when he was a kid snapping pictures with Ronaldo, don't be ignorant, if you want me to bring a picture of Modric at 16 years I will from. their records, have you ever wondered why they keep winning the world cup because to them it's a science and their ages are needed for research studies ...In Nigeria, players lie about their age to escape poverty, it's not their fault, haven't you ever wondered why African Nations win the FIFA age grade competitions but perform poorly at the real deal?

help me tell him o

captainamiedi1:
for you to think white don't do age cheat surprise me. those ages are just their football ages. in reality they may senior the woman

oga stop talking that shit

As far back as 100 years ago, your birth is registered in Europe and the records are there to prove.

You think they will not have been fished out if they were are cheating

Those who went to Russia for greener pastures thought same but today government is gonna waste money bringing their ass back here cos they are begging to return

If you must flee the zoo, you have to be calculative, not just going anyhow anywhere

Runalong333:
Bros , i dont think telling the truth about naija is bad mouthing her , naija is horrible at the moment and we need not hide what every other nation sees. We need to tell ourselves the truth and tackle the issues making her regress , fooling ourselves and playing big infront of other nationalities and insulting them upangan, wont get rid of the issues on the ground. Naija aint the problem , the citizens are. Even if for instance all south africans left the country for us to inhabit, it woould turn into another nigeria in no time , just like places like yeouville. We need to change our attitudes first in serving our nation and doing things by the book. Things work in South Africa because the civil servants are held accountable and are disciplined , thats where we should begin our change.

You are right

Nigeria is in a mess

simple and short

interesting

Neighbour.Am i not right?
I don chop this year dividend close to #500k
If they pay me 25kobo interim this time,I go chop close to #300k as I added more units to my already held shares.
If they pay me #2.50 final next year,I will chop close to #4m as I am preparing to load more @chibuking bears at #13.

SO TELL ME IF I SHOULD BE AFRAID OF BEARS WHEN MY INVESTMENT IS PAYING ME @ YAYIRA

oga sir

verygudbadguy:
Classic man.
TBH, there is a clear difference between a well trained obodo Oyinbo boy and his counterpart in Naija. The Ilu Oyinbo boys seem to grounded in humility and prudence. They are never materialistic. They have seen it all so nothing freaks them. A typical Naija boy whether well trained or not wants to have everything. This is because we lacked so much whether from a rich or poor background. We lack good roads, social amenities. It's also part of the things we learnt from our thieving leaders. God help us.

God bless Banky W. True definition of a gentle man.

You seem to be right tho

A lot of Nigerians were deprived of a lot of things

So if they have the chance to get some, it's accumulation galore

Yayira:
Well done oo. Are those companies still where they were (result wise) 28 months ago ? I trying to locate the road to your dream My compass just dey fail me
