Sagamite: I see your point, but for me, the problem with Nigeria is the lack of good basic home training. The way manners are disregarded and the fact that people dont live by a personal moral code. It ha more to do with upbringing than he president |
Re: "I Will Tear And Burn My Nigerian Passport, Once I Become Canadian" - Nigerian by Sagamite(m): 9:59am On Aug 27, 2013 |
londoner: I think upbringing has less effect than culture on individuals. It is the national culture that has the greatest impact on the moral code. Most human beings are really like sheep and only know how to follow like mugus. No matter how much home training their parents give them, a larger fraction would be influenced by their environment, which can thwart majority of the values of their home bringing. Human beings are too reetarded to think, they would follow any fad that those they respect/admire teach them. For example many Nigerian parents in the UK can raise their wards to think homosexuality is wrong, but with the immense pressure and power popular culture (including so-called "stars" ) is forcing pro-homosexuality on everyone, you would see many Nigerian wards just follow and be pro-homosexuals. This pro-homosexuality is well-backed by the media, which even makes it more powerful in over-riding the home upbringing. The wards want to feel part of the popular and want to be accepted by the popular culture. National culture can mainly be changed or set by the leaders, not followers. They are the ones that are most visible in regards of the values they espouse, they set the power structures and reward mechanisms, they promote the public images, and they help circulate inspirational stories. These are all levers of culture setting. When a president can pardon a public disgrace like Alams, he is setting the values of society. When a president gives national awards to criminals and nothing to those that are silently positive to society, he is setting the values of society. When a president's government gives major contracts to criminals and corrupt people hencing enriching them, he is setting the values of society. When a president opens the door of Aso Rock to convicted criminals like Bode George as guest, he is setting the values of society. When a president can not set rules and structures that aid efficiency (e.g. having a complaint department for every civil service function), hence leaving people to behave as they wish, he is setting the values of society. When the most prominent people and those whose so-called "success stories" you hear are shady people like Dan Etete, Reuben Abati and Bello Adoke, he is setting the values of society. The values of society this Silverback person is setting is "crime pays, is respectable and is rewarded". Majority of people would follow that value system because they don't have the powers to change it, majority are not intelligent enough or have the strong personality to challenge popular culture. The average human being is not a leader, they are followers. Their philosophy is "I no get heart to beat them, so I go join them". Worse is when the local media are too useless to challenge the values set by the president (especially when they are buyable with brown envelopes to help propagate the "positives" of the president's incompetent and criminal approach). And other leaders like Pastors are happy to welcome the criminals in churches and pray for them, and even tell people to emulate them like one recently said to the congregation to emulate the jailed Ibori. Furthermore, as long as this is the value system being set by the leaders for the society, majority of parents would not instil values that heavily differ and which would make their kids uncompetitive in the society. They will teach them values that makes them succeed and rewarded in their [criminal] society ESPECIALLY in a society with limited/tiny rewards (low alternatives) and where winner takes all like Nigeria. You would hardly ever see all that presidential value setting in Western countries. Criminals are jailed, chastised and relegated to the background, that is why their culture is not as miasmic as Nigeria's. Presidents are very powerful. Hitler got a whole nation to go out and kill innocent people and fight a stuupid war. 6 Likes |

Afam4eva: it is utterly shameful to be a Nigerian in 2013. I could sense a deep anger and regret for God making that lady a Nigerian. She never asked for it but unfortunately she was placed in a place that have 1diots as leaders. I won't blame her if she burns her Nigerian passport. It's good riddance to bad rubbish. Geez. Nigeria will never be a great nation as long as its citizens continue to think like this.

this is exactly the same situation i faced in the Nigerian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, the embassy is an extension of the ethnic, corrupt, callous and unprofessional attitude of Nigerian leaders. the new address of nigerian embassy in abu dhabi is not even updated on the website since 3 months, they close 1pm daily and they don't work 5 days of the week, i don't think there is any monitoring. well, i promised myself never to return there. OP, you wont blame the lady cos she said that, it is freaky frustrating and embarrassing to smell that nigerian "thing" when u r in a foreign country. |

[b][/b] Sagamite: Well we are describing the same thing, just at different stages. If it was government alone, counteries that have sane and principled governments would not have any citizen who does not reflect its good values. I dont disagree with what you are saying, but I think we under estimate parental stewardship. Why would a man when he gets to adult age, not dine with thieves, if he has grown up seeing it? Some even in the home. I'm sure we all know, that you dont have to go as far as the president or the rich politician to see corruption. It a way of life for many people in Nigeria, even children.....In fact in many cases if you are not corrupt when the opportunity arises for you to gain from it, your own family will tell you you are a fool. I really doubt that our politicians were all honest men and women right up until the day they got into the corridoors of power. They would have seen corruption way before that. You are right, we are creatures of habit and we follow what we see most often, whther it is homosexuality or bribery etc. If people are following the dishonest way, its because that makes up the majoriy of what they have seen and heard, especially in their formative years. It is everywhere you look....From the child, to the pupil, to the house help, to the lecturer, to the doctor to the president......All play their part and many feel overhwhelmed by the EXPECTATION of corruption in all its forms and go against a mighty sea to walk the honest path. If people had examples of honesty and uprightness in the overwhelming majority of those around them |

Aggrippa: Thanks, bruv. I throway salute. londoner: Na section moderator na. londoner: [b][/b] You are right but that is why I said: "Furthermore, as long as this is the value system being set by the leaders for the society, majority of parents would not instil values that heavily differ and which would make their kids uncompetitive in the society. They will teach them values that makes them succeed and rewarded in their [criminal] society ESPECIALLY in a society with limited/tiny rewards (low alternatives) and where winner takes all like Nigeria." I have always said it several times (and it is not arrogance, it is an observable fact) that a vast majority of people on Earth are fucktards, so you would be demanding too much of them to teach their wards something different from the pervading and extant value system. Why? Because: 1) Fucktards struggle to have independent thinking. They just follow. They are not used to thinking or exercising their brain, nor do they feel like doing such. 2) Fucktards do not have the intellectual rigour to devise upbringing solutions to teach their kids to overcome and subvert the wrong values and still be successful in the society. Such solutions would require thinking through very complex issues. Too complex for their brain. So they just go for the easy: that is imitate, not innovate. 3) Furthermore, a model where you don't have to compete on merit would sound and feel enticing to fucktards. Fucktards feel more comfortable with non-meritorious social models because they can get more from it than they would get from meritorious societies. Hence sub-consciously, they are more willing to accept and embrace the dysfunctional and dishonest society. It is not only in Africa you have fucktards. Fucktards are in the UK too, we only do not see it that much because they are well trained and groomed to follow leaders that care. That said, you will observe fucktards in the UK following the whole liberal thing. "Everything goes" is the philosophy to show one is liberal and progressive, irrespective of the lack of logic and the indirect consequences and problems it causes. I was laughing recently when Gove (Education Secretary) said that Teachers should teach students respect as children are giving people no respect in society. Really? After the fcking liberals destroying the country are the ones that killed the logic of kids respecting adults? It was "fashionable" and "cool" when it was suggested and adopted na. Which teachers are going to teach them respect? The same ones that the kids have been taught to lose respect for and some few would not hesitate to slap? 1 Like |

Sagamite: EVIDENCE!!! This is what I was telling that person called Chinom earlier. GREAT Britain is not like the shithole called Nigeria. The government cares about people and you can't come and be milking people. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23860805 In the next 2 years, they will tear these companies apart. Break them up into smaller bits and create an atmosphere where the bits have to compete with each other, hence driving prices down. Listen to my favourite business journalist, Robert Peston: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23862212 What would be the remedies? "Well, it [the Competition Commission] recommends forced sales of [the private] hospitals where this would improve competition - and its preliminary view is that these divestitures should be by HCA in London and by BMI and Spire elsewhere. Such mandated disposals would be fatuous where a hospital has a total local monopoly, in that this would simply transfer ownership of the monopoly. So it wants to limit the pricing power of the bigger hospital groups by forcing them to negotiate deals with insurers on a hospital-by-hospital basis, rather than nationally." GREAT Britain!!! |

@ The All Grammatical and Intelligent Suppose Local Nigerians living in Nigeria... I don't blame you all because you were not in the girls shoes or place of treatment melted to her. I live in Dallas, Texas and the same thing happened to me. This Nigerian Ambassadors or Diplomatic personnel don't give a shit like Mr.President about the plight of Nigerians living abroad. They talk to people anyhow and treat people like they worth nothing. I lost my Passport, got a police report from Dallas PD and called Atlanta after many weeks of communication from back to back on how to get a re-issued passport and finally instructed me to go to San Antonio which is nearly 6hrs away to visit their personnel in an Hotel somewhere in SA... Went there with all the Money Order they demanded I bring along when coming to their intervention, which include penalty for loosing my passport amounting $370usd as the fee and then another $100+ for other fees. And $65 for a fee online and return envelope paid. I spent nearly $600usd. Got to San Antonio and told me that they do not have the Machine to process my Passport that is already in their Database (DB) and only needed to be reprinted as the process of the re-issuing. I explained to them with a very calm voice, pleaded with them that I drove nearly 600Miles from Dallas to this place leaving Biz and work to get there. But all that fell in a deaf ear and they refer me back to Atlanta which covers this Jurisdiction. I went with an American friend of mine and she just couldn't believe it, tears came out of her eyes for me Hahahaha, she hasn't seen any Nation melting such manner of treatment to Her own Citizen that made it the Nation she is. I didn't do nothing, I just let all that Gas Money wasted, time wasted and some other issues. The Nigeria Presidency needs to step up their Game.. It doesn't cost a $1 bill to call this people to Order, they are your Employees appointed by you and recommended to you by your God Fathers or Senate or House Of Rep Pally. Is just a phone call or an email, for I know that there are many Prominent Nigerians who come to Nairaland everyday and are reading and viewing this thread. It's good you showed some concern and patriotism and opened this thread for your viewing pleasure or to satisfy your curiosity trying to find out why this woman said she would tear up her Nigerian passport. The Maltreatment of Nigerians in Diaspora is too much, they don't even know that they put their own life at risk with such bad attitude, why because Nigerians are cool headed people, do this to an American or an African who has Americanized or Canadianized, they would shoot you and leave you to die in your car from your windshield. Let's treat other folks right, other nations are watching, people expect more from us as a Nation that prides itself as the Giant Of AFRICA with no standard backing the claim. If you're in Govt, please spread the word to your colleagues in the right department and all of that. I will do my best to send this Video and other complaints alike to the Department of Justice, the Nigerian Senate and House Of Rep through online resources that would aid in getting the right addresses. It won't cost a thing, just want the voice of those innocent and Brave Nigerians to be heard. We are people of Love, unity, happiness and progress, we would not let a few take that which bound us together from us. No Matter What Happens... I'M Proud To Be A Nigerian... |
