But seriously,this is strange.
Germans,americans,russians,responsible for millions of deaths are proud of their countries,then why should i be ashamed of Nigeria.
Only a political and historical dimwit will feel inferior,especially in western countries.
They have no moral high ground over me.

2mch: Being Nigerian is a terrible liability. The worst of it all is when you try to point out the criminals, they don't even look well-fed upon all the billions they steal, they don't look better than poverty stricken Nigerians. lipsrsealed cry. The truth is the country is a total and abysmal failure. Absolutely nothing to be proud of or patriotic about. Those looking for a future in finance abroad, avoid any links with Nigeria. Just claim Gabon, Cameroon or Sierra leone. If you say naija for life, when hunger strikes you go die o. Truth is bitter.
Pure truth. There is enough even on NL forum to be ashamed . Swearing, bad manners, calling Gods creation bitcxx, whxxe, gutter language, insulting other people parents on forums, bad grammar, intolerance of others opinion, criminals posing as law abiding citizens etc....need I say more

It's a pointless and irrelevant question. People do not choose what countries and families to be born into and so you are never gonna get an objective response.

Once. I went into a Sainsbury store in the Humber Area of Northern England one morning. Quite a beautiful day and right there at the entrance where the newstand was was a Tabloid "Face of a Fraudster" something like that and a Yoruba name popped up. He had moved £600,000 pounds with a Pakistani fellow in a bank over a period of one year. This was in 2008 and I have a Yoruba name, I am a Yoruba guy. Had major Yoruba shame on that day. Bought the paper and left. Felt really really sad.

Mr Patriot, its so clear that you are myopic, lack the understanding of the truth and not very good realist. You are nothing but a sycophant. In todays news alone please see what it says ( It is full of kidnapping of priest,Boko haram stories, cops killing, teachers beating pupil to death,robbers invading market killing some one,boko haram planning attack for this salah). How do you want any one to be proud of this. The hospital you talked about have one of the highest maternal mortality rate in the world. Just yesterday, my friend called me that he lost his wife due to after birth issues (in 21st century 2012) Haba. Is this a country. You are talking about school. I spent six and half years for a 5 years course in the university in Nigeria. What crap are you saying?? My street where i grew up was graded by my father. The drainage in my area was done by my father. My father had to buy more than 16 electric poles to ensure there is epileptic electricity in our area. They did community contribution to Nepa in order to bring transformer. What are you saying. You cant sleep at night without fear of armed robbers, you cant call on police and you will be promptly attended to. There is so much bribery. You are running your mouth because you have never left your comfort zone. Get out of Nigeria and you will know that Nigeria is hell fire. I can say hell cant be much more worse than Nigeria. In as much as I defend the country when I talk with foreign nationals. Please let us speak the truth. It is a country that is in sensitive to its citizens. Some of the Citizens too are too barbaric and evil minded. Imagine people like your self, kidnapping and killing their fellow humans. Am so sorry for this country.

Anybody who is proud to be Nigerian is either seriously delusional or simply ignorant to the myriad of problems afflicting our society. If you've ever been abroad and seen a society that works or gone through enhanced searching at airports for being Nigerian or get humiliated at crowded embassies of people looking to leave this cesspit of a nation, you'll certainly be ashamed to be Nigerian. If you travel outside the country and are quick to broadcast to everyone that you're Nigerian, you're doing yourself a massive disservice and put yourself subject to prejudice and preconceptions that Nigeria conjures in the minds of others. Except I'm asked, I can't go screaming on the rooftops affirming to everyone that I'm Nigerian. I'm not suggesting there aren't success stories out there but they are totally overshadowed by the negative stories. There is absolutely nothing to be proud of as a Nigerian' In just about every facet of life and every human index of development, we're a pathetic nation through and through. angry

Ordinary Olympics, we no fit win common bronze medal. A country of over 150 million people. grin

What would country like, afghanistan, libya, iraq, mexico, colombia, haiti,..just to name a few.. Those countries are worst than nigeria internationaly but yet you hardly see them degrading thier country bcus they know that every country has is own positive and negative side.

Can i even ask you a question, what have you contribute to this country... Nothing except your cannibslistic being of representing nigeria.

And you talked about olympic.... Are we the only country that partake?...what about other countries from asia, america.. Europe... Do you hear their citizen ranting bcus they did not win a single bronze....
