Moratiwa:
I still don't understand your obsession with Zulus,really,maybe you wish you were one of them and their rejection of you is making you sad.
Don't come here trying to portray Zulus as anything but who the are,you obviously don't know their history or culture therefore you have no business trying to make silly attempts to ridicule this great people.

all4naija: No,sir! I am not trying to ridicule them now. I just want to know how in the hell they were called Zulus and how that word originated.

Thank you.

just remember, you don't have any cool place in ghana at all,evenur capital is fvcked so it's all on your ass

GH^KWAME:

This time, with the BBC. From Nobel
Laureate to hoi polloi, Nigerians have,
over the past many days, roared a
range of emotions in reaction to the
BBC documentary, Welcome to Lagos,
which showed a side of our beloved
city that some of us have never seen –
real, live Lagosians subsisting on
refuse dumps.
"There was this colonialist idea of
the noble savage which motivated the
programme," Wole Soyinka said about
the documentary. "It was patronising
and condescending." Dalhatu Tafida,
Nigeria's high commissioner to the UK,
described the documentary as, "a
calculated attempt to bring Nigeria
and its hardworking people to
international odium and scorn".
Facebook pages and blogs have also
been ablaze. "They are giving us a bad
image," many Nigerians fume.
Meanwhile, the Lagos state
government has submitted a formal
complaint to the BBC, calling on the
corporation to commission an
alternative series to "repair the
damage we believe this series has
caused to our image".
But hardly have I come across
passionate expressions of "Oh my
goodness! There are people in our
country living like this? What shall we
do about them? How fast can we act?"
The Nigerian obsession with image
often approaches neurotic proportions.
What people think of us appears to
take manic precedence over who we
really are. You might imagine that the
rational response to some of the
infamies we are accused of across the
globe would be: "Are we really like
this? If we are, then let's do something
about it – quick." Instead, we
perpetually harangue and speechify to
"correct" the world's impressions of us.
If it isn't moaning about the depiction
of Nigerians as criminals in the movie
District 9, it is berating Hillary Clinton
for daring to describe the situation in
our country as heartbreaking and our
leadership as a failure, or boycotting
Oprah for warning against Nigerian
419 scams on her show.
This curious attitude goes beyond
high-profile situations like the BBC
documentary where our dirty linen
were yanked from our very loins and
aired on the international veranda. It
also manifests in how we deal with
everyday shames. I'm continually
shocked by the number of Nigerian
families frantically hiding away
relatives with obvious mental health
issues rather than seeking help for
them, simply because they are more
worried about the news getting out.
Even physical ailments and high crimes
often get hidden away. Like Nigeria,
many of these families are busy
chasing rats while their houses burn.
Protecting the family image is more
important to them than finding
solutions to the dire problems at hand.
But then, image does matter
tremendously in our part of the world.
Perceived flaws automatically put a
family or tribe in a position of
disadvantage. I still hear comments
like, "Don't marry him; his father used
to stand in front of their house talking
to the sky" or "How can you hang out
with her? Girls from her village are
very diabolical". Plus, an amateur
surveillance of Africa's history shows
stronger tribes regularly treating
weaker ones as vermin. To survive,
groups need to be seen as superior.
Apart from the obsession with
keeping up appearances, collective
anger against documentaries like the
BBC's Welcome to Lagos appears to
serve an additional benefit for
Nigerians. It is extremely rare to find
us united in common purpose. We
more often unite with common hatred.
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether it
is against neo-colonialists or Gaddafi or
the BBC, that brotherly bond which
ethnocentrism and savagery rarely
allow us to enjoy, suddenly waxes
strong when there is someone against
whom to direct our rage.
And, quite frankly, I'd rather we
were united in attacking the BBC than
consumed with the usual pastime of
hunting one another.

PetroDolla2: your level of reasoning is such an embarrassment to me, as an African. so in your warped, sick mind, having tall buildings is what defines prosperity,huh? I feel so sorry for you mumus. no wonder your country is now certified a sh1thole. its all about about bling- no substance. only a mumu will celebrate tall buildings in a cursed land where electricity is a luxury abi dem go comot electrcity from your nyash to power those lifts that are neeeded in those so-called tall buildings? nigerians will never cease to amaze me, walahi. someone telling me nigeria has billionaires and Ghana has none.Think,think,think,think chei dem swear for una? they way a mumugerian reasons is simply increadible. and they go about boasting they are smart?

hahahaha you know mumugerians have a poor maintenance culture,huh? soon those 'tall buildings' will be collapsing and kiling people in your sh1thole,huh. you see how stvpid any talk of 'tall' buildings in sh1tnigeria sounds chei, such a mumu

years ago, my colleague had an office on the 8th floor of Labour House in Abuja. there was no electricity to power the lifts and she couldn't climb up to the 8th floor every time and since not all her visitors could climb up to the 8th floor, she was forced to operate from home. can you imagine a deluded monkey from that same sh1thole talking about "tall' buildings. hahahahaha I swear stvpidity runs in your blood! walahi

all4naija: I can say Port Harcourt is way better than Accra from those images. Jeez! Yolk!

PetroDolla2: hahahaha why not? Accra is clean and orderly, motorists obey traffic regulations including traffic lights and wardens, residents enjoy regular and reliable electricity, lives and properties are well secured, no incidents of people being kidnapped for a ransom of coke and gala residents can sleep with their two eyes closed knowing security is assured, unlike some cities elsewhere where armed robbers and criminals rule.

A West African Journey (2): Nigeria And Her Neighbours Are Worlds Apart

By EJIRO BARRETT
http://nigerianobservernews.com/24122013/features/features2.html#.UsqjfSdtZiM

I just returned from a trip to Ghana, something that has become a regular escape for me from the chaos that is Nigeria most times. These visits have always been important lessons in contradictions. I have travelled through several towns and discovered that, between Ghana and Nigeria, there are similarities but the differences stand our more.

Along the West African coast, languages and traditional rites cut across national boundaries that are clearly artificial borderlines imposed by prevailing colonial tongues, and religious missions that are identified by their separate national metropolitan sponsors.

The difference in social attitudes have created several contradictions that are also immediately obvious across borders. What would instantly become apparent at first when one crosses the Nigerian border is the sense of organisation that welcomes; a clear contrast to the chaos that has become our trademark. the absence of smoke billowing trucks honking menacingly for the sole purpose of imposing fear to gain the advantage on highways; the absence of ramshackle police vehicles that look more like abandoned heaps of metal than vehicles intended for hot pursuits; the absence of police men kitted in faded uniforms; the absence of the complete chaos of Nigerian traffic jams- illustrated by the blatant disregard for traffic regulations; and the absence of filth that we seem to have learnt to live with in Nigeria, without bother. These are some of the differences that would become immediately obvious. There is also the conspicuous bohemian feel that the many street side cafes around Cotonou and Lome exude on cool evenings. I am always amazed at how, just a few hundred kilometres apart, we have managed to remain light years apart in attitudes. I am not talking about the cultural nuances created by the different colonial experiences but the contradictions in temperament and civility. I guess serious research is needed to understand that.
I have mentioned the differences that would strike any visitor who crosses the Nigeria-Benin border, but there is a dangerous virus that I observe has infected all sides with equal devastation; corruption. Do not be fooled, Nigerian officials at border posts may be known for fleecing without fear, but the Togolese and Beninois officials seem even worse. In these countries you do not argue with the set rules: I guess this plays out in their subterranean dealings just as much as it does in their official duties.

The contrast is mind boggling. The average Togolese or Beninois police officer- neatly dressed and whistle at the ready- seems the perfect picture of conscientiousness, and they are- most of the time. When encountered, their sense of commitment is immediately apparent. They carry out searches and ask the necessary questions with stern expressions that betray their preference for routine. However, it is with this same unyielding deportment that they demand set fees for no known reason. Drive through the border posts and check points in these countries and the persistence with which these demands are made rankles. At some of these checkpoints, the officers simply plead for a small cash gift; they do not insist but are quite persistent in their pleas, but they let you go if all documents are in order. In other checkpoints, however, they do not care much for your documents. They demand anything between 300 and 1000 CFA (between 20 and 400 Naira).

These acts notwithstanding, I still believe there is a lot that our security agencies can learn from these countries. The Beninois and Togolese security officials seem a lot more dedicated to their jobs than ours in Nigeria. At every turn, their presence is clearly evident and they seem to have done a good job at keeping their cities safe without the high handed tactics for which our security officers back home are known.

Beyond Nigeria, Republic of Benin, and Togo, Ghana is a world apart. I have travelled around the world quite a bit and I must admit that Ghanaian police officers are among the most civil I have met anywhere. I cannot remember the last time a police officer in Nigeria started a sentence with ‘please’ or ended with ‘have a good day’, so my shock at hearing this regularly in Ghana should not come as a surprise. The officers of the Ghanaian Police Service seem an aberration in these parts. I have been here four times and have never witnessed an altercation between a police officer and a civilian, not once: something that is so regular in Nigeria that it appears to be the norm. I watched as police officers took notes and measurements at an accident scene on the highway and controlled traffic. They had already evacuated victims and were controlling traffic flow. We had been informed of the accident about two miles before the scene and were advised to drive carefully. I saw this last in Nigeria in the seventies.

The sight of policemen displaying horse whips and ordering people to roll in puddles or pulling traffic offenders by their shirts and striking them in public appears an oddity here . When you commit a traffic offence here, the policeman actually pulls you over, explains your offence and, if you are a first time offender, let’s you go with just a warning and no greasing of palms- if that happens I have never witnessed it, I must confess. Coming from Nigeria, it is surprising to see this. I guess this emanates from the impressive simplicity and civility of the Ghanaian character. In all my visits here Ghanaians have been wonderful hosts who go the extra mile to make you feel welcomed.


Regardless of its challenges, Ghana remains a good example from which we can learn important lessons.
