oduastates: Nothing.foolish person, even obama himself will be surprised that you as a nigerian would quote such a negative comment about your nation. Predicating your patriotism based on the opinion of another nations leader, ask yourself this questions 1. Is obama the president of nigeria? 2. Would he have said that if he was the president of nigeria? 3.does obama as the president of US have the best interest of nigerians as his sole responsibility? If you can understand that, then maybe you will see why you have to be more conceit in your criticism of this great leviathan of a nation. To the OP, if the egyptians can be proud of an ancient rock tomb and have immortalised it with their love and respect for it, if the saudi arabians can be proud of the tomb of mohammed, founder of a religion that now torture the world. If the indians can be proud of their culture and hindu religion and the brasilians proud of a large unexplored mat of riverine forest (half the size of europe), and their statute of christ the redeemer, if the germans can be proud of their racial uniqueness and industrialization. Only a fool will not be proud of his nation as the largest black nation on earth, that has survived in a continent were so many others have failed. Boasting of the richest branch of african culture known to man. Only an uncivilised thrump, would rely on physical edifice to make him proud of his mother land, my OP, there can never be two great black nations on earth, there can only be nigeria(your motherland 128 Likes 19 Shares |

I wonder how you face your problems in real life when you are ashamed of them. If Nigeria should face her problems and solve them. I bet you would be proud to be from the most populous black country.

redsun:cmon, any 1st year political sc,int studies or law student should know based on history of intergroup relations that no leader of any group can easily make an unbiased decision or statement were criticism of the second group's socio political institution or culture. There is always a bias, either as a result of pride, egotism,interest or politics. Only a political and foreign affair infant would take obama's statement about nigeria as final. 5 Likes |
