Seems you are at least one person that has listened and you would have not replied.

Nobody is trying to say that Nigerians are stupid full stop. There are of course many extremely well educated Nigerians, but as a % related to the whole population, the number is small.

Maybe we should change the name of this thread to : Nigerians: 45% are Illiterate and the rest have a low standard of education

Tsiya:

Why do u people think Hausa and Fulani people are the problem of this country. Havent you guys taken a look at yourself. Is it because of Umaru that u guys think we are the problem? What about Obasanjo? At a time when Obasanjo was the President, he persecuted his No2 (Hausa man), threw him out of office and he couldnt do anything. The senate president was from south, the head of police, army, NNPC, CBN are all from south. Does their hold on to power change anything in Nigeria?

Is it a Hausa Fulani that is a governor in Oyo, Ogun, Imo or Enugu? You guys should look in ward. Look at yourself. If your mouth is oozing bad smell why should you blame your neighbour for it.

i think some people are missing the point - "education" does not necessarily make you intelligent - we like to pat ourselves on the back about how "educated" we are.

ill tell you why he should help us out of this mess because he has been responsible for setting in motion the following chain of events that have systematically destroyed our economy - slavery, colonialism and now neo colonialism - furthermore he has collaborated with our nigerian kleptocrats to loot our economy by imposing huge imf and world bank loans on us with draconian conditions which have caused so much hardship to our people

cap28:

we need him to cancel these imf/world bank loans that we are still tied to because in actual fact HE OWES US REPARATIONS for the years of economic exploitation that we have been subjected to and are still being subjected to.

cap28:

we also need him to lift the conditionalities that stipulate that they only lend us money subject to us selling our oil at rock bottom prices which current and previous corrupt regimes signed us up to and we need him to renegotiate more equitable trade agreements with us so that we can start rebuilding the economy.

do you understand the meaning of the word neo colonialism because it seems from your ignorant response you dont the analogy that you have used of the relationship between someone who has been dumped and subsequent mistakes that they have gone on to make displays just how ignorant you are of nigeria's relationship with the west.

first of all nigeria was NEVER dumped by britain - as a matter of fact britain retained its economic hold over nigeria albeit by way of puppet leaders - do you seriously beleive that britain would give up an oil rich nation just because a few nationalists wanted independence - how naive of you to totally lack understanding of what realpolitiks is all about.

please snap out of your deluded state nigeria is "independent" in name only - it is too valuable a country to the west to be left alone.

for your information the current hausa fulani oligarchy are in power because they are backed by britain - they are armed by britain and they are consolidated in power by britain - yes it is up to us to remove them from power in order to stop the looting but are we willing to put ethnic differences aside and sacrifice our lives in order to acheive that objective because i can assure you that they will not go without a fight.

if you are unaware that we're still paying off imf loans then you're beyond help - to dismiss this is an indication of just how far behind you are in your understanding and knowledge of africa and its relationship with the west.

Let no one make excuses for these incompetent fools we've had since independence,

Let no one make excuses for these incompetent fools we've had since independence, we sometimes are too smart for our own good and fields our 10th 11 most of the time due to GREED at the top.
Blame the west all you want, they didn't force you to take the deal, someone saw something for them in the deal and it didn't matter to them even if they were mortgaging the entire country for their own selfish interest.
Only God can really help that country not an alhaji who barely has time to focus on the affairs of the state or the lack of infrastructure after almost 50 years of running it by our selves.

True talk. . . .

I'm a Nigerian and I have no qualms with the poster. We Nigerians are very stupid people!

We allow zombies to rule us, rig our elections and divide us and then complain like infants about how they steal all the money, but go on to praise the fools that commit all the crimes and embezzle all the money to enrich themselves.

What is stopping Nigerians from rising up and dealing with the criminals destroying our lives? how many are they? Pata pata 10,000 government-connected thieves. Can they stand 10 million angry youths driven by a common goal?

We are so STUPID that one fool will say "Aburo, why you dey join awon omo Ibo dey go fight wetin no concern you?" or another will say "Nwa ada, why you dey disturb ya self with nbgati nbgati Yoruba people dey fight mallams?", then all of a sudden, the ethnic animal in each of us comes out and all reason is discarded! The zombies in power will then laugh and continue to rubbish all of us.

Nigerians are indeed very stupid people - 100% in agreement with that statement!

How can you said that over 120m people of all ages and some are respectful on many bases.JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE IN NYC.
