If u say d comment is ignorant, pls explain why lets see how informed u are. To answer ur question, in what way is Nigeria better than UAE in terms of achievements as a nation?

Do you even know the difference between past, present and future? You seem to jump between all dimensions in one endless sweep of pessimistic disgruntlement.

No, I did not say Nigeria ''is better'' than UAE. I said Eko Atlantic was ''slowly rising to challenge Dubai's glory''. Aren't you intelligent? That is a projection for the future. It is not to say we are currently ''better than them''.

I really thought I wrote in simple to understand grammar.

U said my comment is ignorant and I challenged u to explain why u said its ignorant. Instead of doing so, u are asking me if I no d meaning of past, present and future. So far, u can't even defend what u saying thereby showing that u actually d one who is disgruntled and ignorant.

Let me answer your question. I don't no d difference between past, present and future. Pls explain d difference to me.

If u aren't contesting d fact that "Nigeria isn't better than d UAE", that means u agree with my "pessimistic disgruntlement". U can see that u have contradicted urself and shot yourself in d foot.

Since u are more intelligent than I am, pls explain your use of d word "challenge" in your sentence?

I said Eko Atlantic is ''slowly rising to challenge Dubai's glory'', inferring clearly that it's a work in progress.

Why do you need a definition of 'challenge'?

The optimistic and pessimistic.... We have seen it all. Since Development in Nigeria is one sided there will always be argument like this.... One thing I know is this country needs to purge itself of tribal superiority and open nepotism unless argument like this will continue.

If u ask me in a clear response I believe the optimistic are yoroubas and Apc hausas... Nothing is happening in the east and don't expect me to be happy.

Ur ability to condescend to mediocrity is effortless. If d insignificant Rwanda can do a "media jamboree", what does that tell u? Y has Nigeria not been able to do same "media jamboree" 4d many achievements it has over Rwanda? A dude from a country d size of state in Nigeria gets more attention than a sitting Nigerian president and u are complaining instead of asking what is d guy doing right

You are the one praising kegame's mediocrity.....They are so many thing we can use media to hype in this country but we the citizen will still be the ones to bad mouth it ...and a foreigner will gladly deride it as his)her perception will instantly change.

Do you think citizens of Rwanda are not awAre of the media trick and silly story their president is telling whilst they are soaked in abject poverty,(check their per capita)and backwardness...No citizens of that country dare speaks against him..he is a dictator...

If you respect yourself people will always respect you...The fact that he build a 2km road today and calls media from around the globe to hype it whilst forcefully oppressing the people from speaking about the numerous ills he is concealing to make the country look like it has emerged is appalling to say the least...if the citizens are stopped from speaking their minds and the president is busy telling the world Rwanda has changed since the 2000 genocidal incident to become an enviable African country surely you will believe cos no one is coming out to say otherwise..but here in NIGERIA, at least to an extent there is freedom of speech...A govt can build a 125km road today and you will have citizens run out to criticize the country to make the leaders not to feel relaxed..during this process harsh and hateful words are released and a foreigner reading this instantly changes his perception of the country despite the amazing thing he must have seen in the media....

I tell you outside the city centre of Kigali which I doubt is even up to 10kmsq the rest of Kigali and Rwanda at large is very primitive, poor and underdeveloped village with so many rural settlement (the inhabitants)made to never see what a bituminous tarred road look like.....

I ask you the Rwanda you want to compare with Nigeria, do you know she does not have a middle class...

Myopic ignorant Nigerian..

According to u:

"They are so many thing we can use media to hype in this country but we the citizen will still be the ones to bad mouth it".

Y would u need to "hype" something if it exists? If u hyping then u are saying something more than d truth. So if u are accusing kagame of hyping which is lying, u are now blaming Nigerian citizens for exposing govt for hyping. If d govt of Nigeria is serious, y would it need to hype? U see how u have contradicted urself.

All u are doing is complaining. With all u have said that is wrong with kagame and his country, its surprising that u can't explain how this guy gets more attention than a sitting Nigerian president. U accuse d man of playing "media trick". How's it possible 4 him to trick every media organization both within Rwanda and outside Rwanda? When did u see kagame invite d world media for a 2km road?

According to u again:

"A govt can build a 125km road today and you will have citizens run out to criticize the country to make the leaders not to feel relaxed"

Is it criticism of Nigerians that has prevented d leaders of Nigeria from doing their job? Ur argument is so escapist as u are blaming d citizens of Nigeria for d failings of those in govt. Are Nigerians responsible 4d "relaxation" of our political leaders? Were they elected to come and relax? If a 125km road is built, I don't see y the people will criticise d govt for building d road. That's a very big lie u have told.

If citizens criticise d govt, it is for a reason and if d govt is serious, it will use d criticism to improve on its service delivery to d citizens. So ur comment about nigerians criticising govt is baseless and unfounded

What has been d youth population of Nigeria since 1960 compared to Japan, Germany & Norway that u are mentioning? Y is nigeria still not better than them? What has been Nigerias debt since 1960 compared to Japan, Norway and Germany? Y is Nigeria not yet better?

Rwanda is much more organised than Nigeria with better accountability from govt institutions. Rwanda is a country with less corruption than Nigeria. Nigeria may have a higher GDP than Rwanda but this is obviously because of oil. Take oil out of Nigeria, what else does Nigeria have?

Funny enough, u are d one holding unto d past. U are d one who is glued to Africa's past and blaming other countries for Africa's failure. U are d one who is well housed and buried in d hole of bitterness against d west and yet still living in d fantasy that Africa will be better than d west. U haven't come out of your hole, how do u now know that am in a hole? U have been grabbing unto d aprons of d west as d excuse for Africa's backwardness yet u talking of "reasoning deeply" when u can't move beyond ur past as an African. U can't even see an Africa that can be prosperous except d west falls and u say u are a guru in economics.

U have a funny way of contradicting urself

Is it only IMF/world bank that can detect discrepancies in GDP figures? because all d time u say d man was engaged in media tricks and inviting foreign media to hype him, did d foreign media not try to verify d mans claims or they just decided to hype?

Rwanda is much more organised than Nigeria with better accountability from govt institutions. Rwanda is a country with less corruption than Nigeria. Nigeria may have a higher GDP than Rwanda but this is obviously because of oil. Take oil out of Nigeria, what else does Nigeria have?

Be done with this duplicitous attitude of yours and start learning to pay scrupulous attention to every words I use...if my memory serves me right I am very sure I didn't use the word "invite" media ...

From your write up I can tell your knowledge is very limited and shallow and this can only be fuelled by absolute ignorance..you are one of those that come on NL to comment on things you know nothing about just so you can appear intelligent and rack up likes from your fellow sadistic colleagues....I am sorry I hyped your knowledge and explained things that you might not even heard before...
GDP don't matter what actually matters as regard to what you are trying to say ..it is the GDP per capita, purchasing power, middle class...No one would expect Rwanda to have a bigger GDP than Nigeria except if it is very developed and by developed I mean it should rolling among first world nation like Sweden, Norway while that of Nigeria will be dwindling or stagnant e.t.c...the fact that you said this shows there is nothing in your brain and that narrow how I viewed your thinking..that is like you saying America might have a higher GDP Than Norway or Sweden...how does that sound to your ears..

Nigeria may have a higher GDP than Rwanda but this is obviously because of oil.

Rwanda is normally not suppose to have a higher GDP than Nigeria...that is highly preposterous to say the least...Rwanda is a smaller nation by population and Nigeria on the other hand is a bigger nation by this same population...
Oil alone does not fuel our GDP ...the population amongst all other factors also does that..if you know what GDP per capita means you wouldn't have mentioned your bolded remark and perhaps you might easily ended this conversation seeing that Nigeria still surpassed Rwanda in per capita income which is a fair and just way to compare countries irrespective of larger economy and larger population..

Do u no why I like your write up? I like it because u didn't debunk what I said. With everything u wrote, with all d plenty grammar, there's no where u provided info that debunked what I said. All u did was to corroborate d point i made. So am not really concerned with d personal connotations in ur post. Like I said u have run out of things to say

lexy2014:


Which "major point" did u make? U made no point. I can't search for a point that doesn't exist.

Except d meaning of d word barbarism has changed, I believe u are d one who is exhibiting traits of barbarism because b4 u say anything u use foul language and insults which I haven't done. A market woman doesn't "make noise" without throwing insults. So ur description of me as a market woman tends to fit u more.

In my little interaction with people, I discovered that those who insult others in d middle of a discussion without provocation are d ones who have nothing to say which is a display of ignorance. Cos if u have things to say, u will put forth ur points with utmost civility. Insulting others without provocation is a sign of frustration that u arent having ur way and that u have demonstrated on several occasions

Insulting others without provocation is not a sign of frustration, at least not to me...it is more like me identifying an empty noise maker who has nothing upstairs but felt like talking because he sees other people talk and get replied instantly on NL...funny enough you have no idea and in depth understanding of the derisive comparism you made....

You felt like bringing up Rwanda for comparism because you've seen other ignorant entity like yourself on NL do the same....

Free advice don't copy otherside..what Suits A might not suit B.
