Andrew Young, a former ambassador of the US to the UN, says Nigerians are always complaining about the government but that ”something is wrong with everybody”.

Young said this on Thursday at dinner organised by the Emeka Offor foundation for him in Abuja.

The event was also to mark the record of no wild polio virus case in Nigeria in three years.

The former US ambassador said he has never heard of a good government in Nigeria because of complaints by its citizens.

“Everybody know that Nigerians are to be respected, if not feared, except you Nigerians. Nigerians are always complaining about themselves,” he said.

“Is like complaining about government you have had, I never heard about a good government in Nigeria – something is wrong with everybody. Well let’s face it, the world has never and would be perfect.

“There have never been a people that have come further and work harder and produce more with less and suffered more problems than the people of Nigeria and the government that you have produced.”

Young said it is a “tremendous accomplishment” for Nigeria to wipe out polio in its wild forms.

“I don’t know if you have 50 million people, 90 million people, 120 million people and you don’t know either but we know that polio has been cured,” he said.

“I remember polio as a boy because Franklin Roosevelt was a victim of polio and we started when we were little children to wipe polio, now here we are in Nigeria, with its millions and millions of people trying to end a disease that has killed millions and millions throughout its existence.

“So cannot tell me that things are not better, I look at the way the cities are growing, I look at the Nigerians that come to the United States of America and you don’t send dumb Nigerians there, they are all smart.

“Some might be a little sleek but they are all brilliant, they work hard. They solve problems.”

He also said South Africa would not be free today and Mandela would not be out today if not for Nigeria.

On his part, Offor said by March 2020, Nigeria would be officially certified polio free by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

“Yesterday, 25th of August, Nigeria marked three years of [being] wild polio free, we got together and we decided that we should wait a little bit until we get the final certification from WHO which is due sometime in March 2020,” he said.

NIGERIA SHOULD BE RESTRUCTURED INTO A TRUE FEDERATION.

There should be devolution of the federal government powers to the state and that means more money being allocated to the states.

That will reduce the complaint as the states with crude oil, solid mineral will explore such God given resources for the growth and development of their own people, pay tax to the federal government and this will solve unemployment at the state and regional level.

The federal or central government in Nigeria meddled into just every affairs that it should have left for the states and local government.

That is what is causing this pressure and complaint.

What the central government should be concerned with is defence, immigration, foreign affairs but leave education, agriculture, power, roads, housing, state police etc for states in Nigeria.

Nigeria is too big for a centralized government given our diversity as a people. ( different tribes, religion, cultures etc )

What ideally is working for America does certainly will not work for Nigeria except if Nigeria give state more powers to run their affairs just as it is practised in America.

Nigeria is practising unitary system disguised under the constitution as a federal state.

Shut up.

He didn't specify because he assumed the unending complains are made by all Nigerians.

However, I don't know how your brain process my comment in a way that the comment is based on his specification. undecided


The person you quoted displayed the usual guilty conscience and socio-cultural victim mentality syndrome synonymous with their kind.


They are already feeling guilty and coming for you. Very predictable people.

We thank God for this good news.

However, Andrew Young should note that such perpetual complains are always coming from just a greedy section who are never satisfied with their fair share. They have been complaining right from time immemorial because they prefer to get more than their fair share

Example, Nigeria is blessed with crude oil, but they are bitterly angry that other sections of the country benefit from same oil as much as them, even though they have none while sections where this oil is deposited don't even make noise.

Even this good news, they must complain about it, it is in their gene to always complain.



It's obvious you are a sadist

Buhari was the son of nobody before becoming president same as obasanjo and jonathan. Work hard so you can be president too and effect the changes you want and not complain on nairaland. Some of you will be worse if given the chance to rule nigeria but you are quick to condemn leaders. We are our own worst enemy.

See him; hateful individual who would rather cut off his nose to spite his face. You sound pathetic. Do you have constant power supply, do you have pipe borne water, do you have good roads, do you have adequate security? No, but you would rather ignore all these just to insult a section of people. Shame on you.

....... Mr, pls change ur mindset and views towards ur fellow countrymen. We are differ in reasoning and understanding so pls respect everyone. That a particular section don't agree with u in certain things doesn't give u the right to call them greedy. We need to start seeing each as one, enough of the fight! No tribe is better than the other, we only need to respect each other. Our politicians see themselves as friends irrespective of their political parties and we are fighting on the internet over superiority. We really need to change our orientation coz is wrong. Thank u

May you not be judged by this statement. You are an agent of destruction and not of the truth.
You earlier began with nice statement but destroyed it in a second.
If you read properly, you are not far from the ones that also contribute to this country's problems.
