ObaKlaz:
When the picture hit this forum, I commented about how the stunt by the model was a disservice to the imgage of the nation, how Nigerians are quick to disparage and drag the imgage of the county into the mud in the glare of the international community and how most Nairalanders find it kosher to always pass demeaning, distasteful comments on the country, even when it doesn't call for it, ignoring the fact that this forum attracts visitors across the globe.
I got numerous mentions from folks with one-way thought pattern, lampooning me and spitting more venom on everything pro-Nigeria.
As expected, they are here, calling this Nigerian-American 'unintelligent' and all sorts!

Have you sat down to ask WHY all these you spoke of up there is the case?
Until the "WHY" is addressed, these sad things will continue
You cannot launder the image of a country run like the way Nigeria is, no matter how you try
Structural changes from top down across board need to be done FIRST before presenting a facade of "all is well" to the international community

CamusMidas:

I don't see the future for me to have an accurate answer to that, but I can give you a list of possible of consequence she can face later on in life.


And if you take your time to really understood what I said with zero sentiment, you could have easily seen that I wasn't referring to her specifically.

Action has consequence.

It's a simple question I asked
You did not answer
People have burnt and stepped on the American flag IN AMERICA and are still living productive lives
Its only MAYBE when you want to run for office
That your opponent may use it against you
Apart from that
Not that I EXPLICITLY recommend wanton desecration of national flags
But the supposed "consequences" that many have been spouting is over exaggerated
Especially for a third world decrepit country like Nigeria

CamusMidas:

Facts, that's the problem with the life is short mantra; sometimes life is long and very long at that, you would face the consequence of your actions today even in the next 50 years or life time.

What consequence will she face for flying a blood stained nigerian flag?
You people are very funny

firstratedcitiz:
But she got her three minutes of fame—and passed a message across—which is what really mattered.

True that

ril19:
All the blasting and lambasting of this peargent lady in uncalled for. I actually see it as somewhat patriotic because she is raising global awareness about the killings going on in her country, and especially her region of origin. Moreover who knows, maybe she lost someone close to her in the endsars protest hence her grievance.

That's the point

jomoh:


There’s nothing that can justify the nonsense she did. Desecrating the flag of your country. She may get away with it in nigeria but I know people kill for their flags in most other countries.

If anyone wants to destroy her career, it’s just a matter of submitting the picture to whatever agency she signs up with either now or in the future. Even if no one submits the picture, the agency can stumble on it and they’d definitely dismiss her or trash her contract. They will dismiss her without thinking twice.

It’s only in nigeria that we allow all sorts. Most countries don’t take likely to such behavior.

People burn the American flag all the time IN AMERICA
So what are you talking about ?

muykem:
Judges has done the right thing, since her country is a failed state, she has no reason to be there in the first place to represent the same country. The people from that part of country always being half smart.

You see this one
Bringing subtle tribalism into the discourse
What does "being from that part of the country" have to do with anything

elonmuskbaby:
does the country she's representing respect her citizens?

Does her country defend and protect her citizens?

All these bubu minions when una go receive sense?

Good question
A country that negotiates with bandits, rehabilitate terrorists, refuse to declare fulani herders a terrorist group and handle them, but shoot unarmed shiite, IPOB and ENDSARS protesters deserve no respect, and every shame that it can get

How can anyone be patriotic to such a country?

Personally I see nothing wrong with what the model did

She has made her point like someone has said, and believe it or not, the world has taken note.
Go to Twitter and other social media platforms, a good number of young people have that blood stained Nigerian flag as their display picture.
What happened on the 20th of October 2020 is an everlasting shame on this shameless country

Zetty177x:
It's not my thoughts or opinion that will change anything. How many blacks are billionaires in Dollars? Without being told, u are a Yoruba and there's a way they reason. U gave me a long epistle now and indirectly u succumbed to my discuss and school of thought. For u to claim the blacks have the strength means they don't have the brains. The money made by intellectuals from just brain work can't be compared to that of tilling the soil. Ask Microsoft, ask Facebook...a Boxer isn't richer than these great thinkers ..ok?

Try to use ur brain if u have one don't let it be only a box to u... It's people like u that supported one Nigeria and couldn't even see d future... Do U need a teacher to tell u that if the black man was ahead of the human race they would have done anything useful? Black man do anything? Malaria has been our illness for centuries and no African has deemed it fit to look for cure or viable control? Just imagine if malaria was disturbing ordinary China? Where are our microbiologists? scientist?
Etc...if covid19 emanated from Nigeria, d west would have left us to our fate ...you are very dull

What does "One Nigeria" have to do with anything?

Adakintroy:


Your education is not complete.

How old is their civilization.

Scandanevians(Denmark, Sweden, Norway ) were the then vykins, Greece were former world power, England, ...France, Russia former Soviet. Italians were the then Romans, all most all of Europe had a long history with civilizations and conquest. To what extent is their overall now wealth a product of many accumulated yrs of conquest?
.you bring up Nigerian somekind of 60yrs ago ruff patch put together amagamation. Who have we conquered?..and what territories have we size?. Whose oil have we stolen like America do with poor middle East countries.?

You are not real my friend. We are doing well for a socio political toddler.

If you want to compare compare two honest like terms.

This post of yours is very funny

"Nigeria is doing well for a sociopolitical toddler"
This statement is very funny

dasparrow:
It's very sad and unfortunate but when will Africans learn that arabs, chinese, lebanese, indians and whites don't like you? You keep flocking to their countries. To do what? Why will you travel to these countries just to be treated like animals? As Africans, we need to do better. African countries should launch a media campaign warning African youths of the dangers that await you abroad if you go there illegally.

Africans are treated like animals IN AFRICA
It seems that regardless of where most Africans go, animal treatment is what awaits them.

So it's a choice between being treated like a second class citizen animal in your sheethole ruined shame of a country in africa
Or being treated like an animal in a foreign land

Ret@rded talk

CryptoRepublic1:


Don't waste your time trying to convince anyone.poverty has destroyed most Nigerians their frontal lobes doesn't function like it should.

I believe you.

Poverty and homelessness is making a lot of people lose their minds in Nigeria

Stewart883:


You see your statement I made bold, You're a bloody liar!!!

And you know this because you are his accounts officer abi?

Stewart883:


Look if he is loaded or not,that is not anyone's business!!! You don't just come online and spill trash that you're a millionaire!! No one gives a fuvk!!! If that money he has is true let him contact a travel agent or just go to any embassy of his choice and get information.... Besides I wonder what gave him the balls to spill such net worth when we have alot of insecurity in Nigeria

Jeez!
Why so angry?

ladgentle:
I'm not surprised on the direction of the majority of response

Me too

opebiboy:
Lol. Funny you. Yahoo boys are building hotels everywhere and investing massively you are here talking about karma. Karma don't exist. Death is the end of all men. All men will die so face your lane and stop the jealousy

You have no idea what you talking about

Angelfrost:


Talking about the main issue??! What exactly do you expect the actual culprits (Yahoo Boys) to contribute other than insults to the poster??!...

You have no idea how rotten this society has become!

Parental failure aplenty in Nigeria

Kimjongun:
That's the number one effect of illicit money, anywhere it enters it destroys that's why serious countries frown at money laundering.

Illicit money is very very bad for the society.

Look at the standard of music released in our music industry before Yahoo boys start going into music.

Look at the social moral degeneration in our society. Look at the way Yahoo culture overflow our societal values.

Look at our women, the mothers of our next generation, if this menace is not curbed ASAP Nigeria is doomed! We are going to breed generations of lazy dependants and thieves(this is already happening there places you can't live in peace without youths (that can work) coming to ask you for handouts).

Look at the way our work culture has been bastardised, young people no longer want to work or reason too hard.

If you complain people will say you are jealous, not knowing those things have very serious integral effect on their lives

No lies in what you said

From the responses to this thread, it is safe to say that indeed, this Sheethole is ruined.
Imagine the mentality on display here

DonroxyII:
You are the cause of your own problems and that's the stupid African mentality right there being displayed by you .... Always blame Caucasians for your own animalistic behaviour .... You are yet to evolve from animalistic stage of your civilisation..... You don't have respect for yourself and you expect Caucasians to respect you .......

The Buffaloes do not wants to respect Lion but every one respect Power and Super Force else you get perished !!....

Go get Powered !!

You always blame someone else for your own sh.it and when do you ever start blaming yourselves for Backward and Wayward Life and lack of love for fellow Blacks .........

Asians ain't waiting for Caucasians to solve their problems , Asians are solving their own problems themselves and with China, Caucasians are being giving a run for their dominance on Earth ....

When would black race ever mount a challenge by exploring space, ocean, earth crust , building machines and tools and using African Resources as Energy and Fuel... No ! They wanna explore the next vagina and the next !


Caucasians don't give a ratazz about you and your problems.... They are just doing business ... You are your own Problems and Caucasians will never help you to solve it , they will help you to escalate it so as to make you remain unwise and steal your resources under your own black nose with little bribe .... Then sell same back to you after some modifications at higher prices.......

It's just business, Black boy .... You are Your own Problems ....

Whether African or Afro-American anything Negroid, Caucasians don't give you a fvck .... They can even annihilate you and your race if they want with just dedicated strikes.....


Go get Powered and Get your Respect Back and Get a Bigger Voice on the Table that everyone must Respect .... No one will give you respect unless you have what it takes to be respected and that's Power and Knowledge...

Unique Power and Distinct Knowledge!!

Simple and short

DonroxyII:
Any continent that is devoid of knowledge will remain poor and very poor ...

knowledge is absent in Africa but there are alot of resources which Africans do not valued but was valued by Caucasians...

some people are urinating and pooping on some precious stones right now inside some jungle in Africa...

But until Caucasians build machine that will start using those precious stones as Fuel for the machine , Africa man will never use his own brain to create value for the stones....

our oyel, our oyel... before Caucasians came to explore and exploit the oyel in the Niger delta, what was the value of the oyel to the Nigerdeltan and the Abokis that's ready to kill everyone for it ...

Nothing ... Now if Caucasians stopped building machines that are using oyel as fuel ... That's how Oyel will become valueless ....


Africa is a slum and a very dark world !

Sad to say
You are largely right

Originalsly:


Imaginary statistics indeed....... what stats have I posted? Africa has always been the foundation of the West. Would America be what it is today without slaves... from Africa? ... and do you really believe the West can survive without the resources of Africa? Keep fooling yourself.

Actually the west can survive without Africa.

They exploit this continent because it's easier
but the knowledge gap between Africa and the West is so damm wide
Thats their biggest advantage
And as for your talk about African slaves in the USA
They supplied the basic labour that anybody can supply
The technical aspects to the building of America was not sought from Africam slaves
This is not to say that Africsn slaves had no contribution
But saying America wont have been a great country without black slaves is ludicrous

Gerrard59:
The Ukrainian dude left his country for another country dominated by Caucasians meanwhile you did not leave Nigeria to another black dominated country? What does it tell you? That Sub-Saharan Africa - home to 95% of black people - is home to the largest number of poor people than any other continent is very poor and actually a slum. In fact, Nigeria which you erroneously stated as Africa's richest has the highest number of poor people in the world yet is the most populated country on the continent. Meaning that there are more poor people in Nigeria than almost all of Eastern Europe.



Africa is not wealthy, the earlier you know this, the better for you. Wealth is not what you have but what you can make do with. Japan, Switzerland, South Korea and Singapore don't have half of the so-called minerals most African countries possess yet are amongst some of the richest places on the planet because they utilised the most important resource - human resource. Which is why crude oil is useless if there is no superior human knowledge in extracting it. In fact, without advanced knowledge from White and Asian dominated countries, so-called minerals in most African countries would have been worthless. Just like crude oil is facing imminent decline in demand due to green technology, it means that so-called wealth will become valueless in the world market. It is the buyer of crude that determines the price of the product based on what s/he intends using it for. Coal more than a 100 years was once like crude oil but today? Less value, implying those countries that were wealthy because they had coal aren't wealthy any longer. Tomorrow, if European and American consumers decide to consume cell based chocolate, the so-called cocoa which could be peddled as wealth based on your post will lose value just as cell/plant based meat will one day make animal based meat to lose value. The buyer dictates whether the so-called mineral is valuable invariably making the country to be wealthy




While GDP is a major indicator of measuring a country's wealth, it is not the only way ditto for GDP per capita. Rather, HDI should be placed at the top. Nigeria according to you is richer than Ukraine based on the sizes of both countries' economies but which country has the highest number of poor people in the world? How can such a country be said to be rich? Yes, any rational person will underrate Africa because it has the highest number of poor people in the world. Have you seen or read where a rich country/person is underrated? So, assuming Africa should not be underrated, what do you recommend? Be placed at the same level like Malaysia? South Korea? Vietnam? Brazil? Do you know the sacrilege you would have committed? If you desire that Africa should not be under-rated, then countries on the continent should be rich, at least more than Eastern Europe then afterwards South East Asian countries then maybe North Asia before Western countries.

Africa is poor and has the highest number of poor people. Last I checked, there is a link between high poverty rates and proliferation of slums. These are facts and they don't care about feelings. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-349-08473-9_2

End of story
Technical Knock Out

Basalt:


Lol, if GDP is useless as you claim, why is the USA world power?
Why are they referred to as the richest country in the world and the best economy?

That's because their currency is the world reserve currency
And most Fortune 500 companies are American companies

India and UK almost have the same GDP size
But Britain has influence that India can only dream of
So I agree with the person you quoted
GDP is not an accurate enough metric.
Let me make it easier for you
India has a bigger GDP than Switzerland
But given a choice between two countries above
Which will most pick ?

There you go

Eriokanmi:
How does an open discussion translate into negotiation? The the confusing caption got only your likes I guess.

Like I said in my preceding posts
Most of these guys do not understand simple English

Benz4pimp:
are you not a moderator on this forum?I am surprised you can’t even read to understand simple English!!!Tueh

That moderator you quoted should be ashamed of itself

Seems like many of you dont understand simple english

planetx:
You have #20 million in your dream lol

These days young Nigerians are making money through unconventional means,legal; semi legal and outright illegal
So dont be too quick to write em off

SunTzu123:


Everybody is different. There's no region of the world I've not been to (pls I didn't say country but region) but given a choice, I will live here and be visiting anywhere I like!

Well, people are different.
If not for my family members and close friends in Nigeria, God knows that I will NEVER set foot in Nigeria
