I think we are self interested before patriots. Like me, first, before others and before country.

I tell you story. I fell ill in Nigeria once and live because I got my ass on a plane and came home.

buda first. Then family siblings parents neighbours my village people in no particular order way before, well, patriot. Unless I am able to deceive you that I knock on my neighbour's door to see if he is starving before I eat my dinner.

Notwithstanding.

I like the fact that you accept the challenges Nigeria is facing, that is a good thing.

The next step is to find the opportunity to fix this problem than to run away.

In your case invest in building good private hospitals or challenge the government doctors and nurses do that they can start giving good service.

Nigerians prefer European soccer than African soccer.
Nigerians prefers European education than African education.
Nigerians prefers European hospitals than African hospitals
Nigerians dreams to migrate to Europe.
Nigerians prefer American music and movies.
Nigerians prefers American brands

Research shows that 90% of Nigerians soccer fans prefers UEFA games than CAF games.
Research shows that 90% of South Africans and Egyptians soccer fans prefers CAF games than UEFA games.

Average South Africans believe that PSL is better than EPL or it could be better than EPL in few years to come.
Average Nigerians believe that EPL is better than NPFL or it NPFL will never reach EPL standard.

Kindly why does Nigerians have so much faith in EPL.

Nigeria club , Rivers United lost 5 out of 6 games in the CAF champions league group stage.

the only managed to secure 1 point from 5 games with one draw.

they have been eliminated from the tournament.

They are the first Nigerian team to qualify for the group stage in 7 years.

What is the cultural difference between South Africa and Boswana?


What are the reasons Namibia and Lesotho are inside of South Africa yet different people?

Do you people agree in politics, religion and leadership or tribal?

Btw SA and Boswana, which country is considered a better country?

Swaziland and Lesotho are countries inside south Africa and they totally depend on South Africa.

Namibia and Botswana are countries next to South Africa and depend on South Africa.

TRUTHaDDICTED:
But you that brought this as a topic here now, what exactly is your sole aim? What point are you trying to drive with your narrative?

I don't believe that God created people who think this way, there could be demons inside you.

budaatum:
Actually, Nigerians would be fighting to abolish the only white policy, as we should.

Just imagine a university that allows admission only to one tribe or religion. I bet you'd be concerned they might be teaching anti other religion and tribe rhetoric that will be damaging to our society.

You could be right, unfortunately South African constitution allows that.
The good thing is that graduates from that university will not be able to work for South African government

Odunayaw:
Sounds like Judas.

Hear your rebuke
John 12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief...

You must stop with your negative mentality

Odunayaw:
Like the government did in 2022

If you're hungry just say it make people help you

The money that is used to fund these super eagles trip, could be used to fund poor people.
Don't be greedy.
If you are rich, don't be selfish

QueenJazz:
I wonder what football has to do with the effectiveness of the Nigerian government from a causal standpoint. If anything, developing our football is one of the fastest ways to eradicate hunger in this country. Hosting the AFCON alone could generate millions in tourism and trade, as seen with Egypt in 2019.

The fact that people like you see football as a mere distraction is the reason why we fail to progress in this country. Because of mindsets like this.

Well said, hosting big soccer tournament can assist in eradicating hunger.

The truth is Nigeria is far away from hosting big tournament as Afcon, Nigeria security issues needs to be dealt with it first, Nigeria has only one stadium approved by Caf.

Nigerians must also have funds to fill the stadium.

The most important point, ordinary Nigerians hate African soccer and they support European soccer.
In South Africa is rare to find people watching European soccer.

FYI, south African government rejected to host Olympics in Durban because they said to host Olympics is too costly.

MKPUOGALIGA:
This is going to be a very tough game. Congo has been improving for some years now

Nigeria should just loose for peace sake, so that Nigeria government can focus on eradicating hunger.

In South Africa there is college called sol-tech, in full name solidarity College.
The college teaches in Afrikaans and due to that only white people are allowed in that college.
The college is based in Pretoria.

If this college was in Nigeria, Nigerians would be fighting to be the students in this college because of their inferior mindset.

As South Africans we have lot of colleges that we can attend.

Kalulu44:
Is it home based where our league champion was whitewash by a South Africa team.
Abeg talk another thing

Pls note that Mamelodi Sundowns is not an ordinary team, you can not judge Remo stars based on Sundowns game.

MaziObinnaokija:
Nig 4..... Gabon vipers 2

The problem of Nigeria is obsessed with European based players, and it will loose because of that.

SonOfWords:
The South African national team comprises of mostly players in their local league.

As long as a player is efficient enough to give value to the team, this your classism mentality is nonsensical.

Well said

Trump must send his soldiers ASAP.

kennysville:
As a side note, The caf president owns Mamelodi Sundowns....
Not saying anything O

Point of correlation, Patrice Motsepe doesn't own sundowns, his Son Hlophi Motsepe owns Sundowns.

Kushites:
If Google says all Nigerians are cannibals, you will also accept it, won’t you?

The problem of most Nigerians is that they don't want to accept the fact.

In order to fix the problem, accept it first

Kushites:
If Google says all Nigerians are cannibals, you will also accept it, won’t you?

Google Nigeria bleaching skin research by Yale University

Kushites:
Does that number make sense to you?

Kids.

Yes, the number is very accurate.

kpankpangolo:
We now throw statistics without proof? Just another day on Nairaland.

Which proof are you looking for, just check on Google

Kemetian:
76% of Nigerians?

Where the hell did you get that ridiculous figure?

The same Nigerians they say are living in 'abject poverty'?

76% of them have money for bleaching cream?

Nahh..The figure is closer to 10% or less.

Mostly stupid city women.

10 percent is very less, try to be honest with yourself.
Nigerians can use their last cent to buy bleaching products as per research.

dollytino4real:
Not everywhere in Nigeria, we want to be like oyibo

Research didn't say all Nigerians, it said 76 percent.

FarahAideed:
Poverty and competition for scarce resources by women

Which scarce resources are you referring to?

chatinent:
Can't people give themselves cancer in peace again?

Lol, I like what you said.
Yes people are calling cancer from far.

okpouman:
It's typical of the major tribes,you can know this by simply observing the major tribes and how they love to live in whites man land.They can't stand their own country were they are even the main stakeholders

I agree with you

chiagozien:
Some people are taught from kids by their parents to us omo Igbo

Pls write pure English so all of us can understand.

WizardOfNG:
If you are Nigerian, then you are simply suffering from small ethnic group syndrome. Similar to short man syndrome.

Otherwise why would you validate the many and ludicrously ignorant submissions of the uninformed and bigoted OP?

Is it Yoruba or Igbos, as the bigoted OP postulated, who "prefer to wear Arabic traditional cloth than African attires"?

Is it all Nigerians who bleach as the deluded South African postulates?

He claims we follow European football league and not our own. Has a self-hater like you reasoned that this is because many Nigerian players, for decades now, are big time ballers in Europe making Nigerians to follow European clubs and soccer?

Whereas, because their footballers are far less talented, South African have no option but to follow their own league as that is the highest level many of their players can reach whereas Nigerian players have gone global.


The worst has to be his claim "Nigerians worship whites". In the entire Africa, non more stubbornly independent and indifferent to whites than Nigerians. We no send them.

It is South Africans who worship white. If the major ethnic group have left you feeling subjugated then man up an find ways to deal with that instead of this silly and traitor-like strategy of abetting enemies to come for your own.

This is a Nigerian forum and the South African OP should keep his antic to his SA forum or be told off when he post this sort of drivel against Nigerians on a Nigerian forum.

Sometimes Nigerians can surprise you, how can you chase South Africans on a Nigerian forum. A merely online forum. Just imagine how will South Africans be treated in Nigeria.

We don't discuss to win but we discuss to build Nigeria in this forum.

How can you justify that most Nigerians are watching European soccer, this is totally wrong economically.
South African soccer league is the best because of the support it gets from South Africans, all the sponsors came to the league because of the support it has. South Africans believe their league is the best in the world or it will be the best in the world. Nigerians believe that Nigerian league is poor and it will remain poor.

Bleaching the skin is very wrong try to address that in Nigeria.

Accept the criticism in order to grow, if most Nigerians think like you do Nigeria will remain ass hole.

Mynd44:
If South Africans did 10% of what Nigerians do in South Africa in Nigeria, Nigerians will do worse things.

The "hate" from South Africa might be wrong because it punishes both the innocent and the guilty but to make it as though they don't have a reason to be angry at Nigerians is funny and deceptive

I agree with you,

okpouman:
You have a point,but note,this malaise is a problem basically with the three major tribes of NIGERIA

I agree with you, how can this problem be resolved.

Nigeria tops the list in Africa in skin bleaching, second place is DRC, third place is Cameroon.
76 percent of Nigerians bleach their skins and less than 1 percent of south Africans bleach their skins as per research.

When you bleach your skin it shows that you are not proud with your black skin and you want to look like white. This is inferior mindset.

Why does Nigerians bleach their skins?
