Every country, state, city, town whatever has its own filthy areas. Frankly we can't always blame the government for the filth; the people/residents should also take a bit of the blame too.

I can't even be offended by these pictures, it just shows more work needs to be done in beautification and infrastructure. Finally, its only a deluded nitwit that'll feel all parts of Nigeria looks this way. yea at the poster, you can't "shame" the government by showing pictures of the redundant areas in Nigeria... It's flipping Nigeria, its a third world country remember ?, I'm sure going through this thread people also saw pictures of dead areas in Europe and America thats filled with first world countries.

Nevertheless, i still love my country... We'll keep growing and we'll get there.

Banku&Tilapia:
In Ghana i can roam anywhere witout thinking abt been kidnap or bombed, datz wot we call a country. Nigeria is a pit latrine.

K.

Red-Light:
kidnapping is order of the day in lagos? dude are u sure u live in lagos?

The nitwit obviously doesn't.....

PDPwayoo: This is not a question. Will ur family allow u to travel from Lagos to Onitsha at night? or can u have risk having 100,000 naira cash and walk along mile 2 by 11 pm?
Answer these question and see if naija is safe or not.

Please walk around in Brooklyn, queens or detriot flashing $1,000 and let me know what happens. Don't express your very shallow mind here aii...

suxes2005: Lies!

Even in broad day light, you get robbed. Yeah, dey show u dia gun
Right there askin for ur possession, u got no choice than to surrender
These and many more happens on the street.

As for America, av you read a situation where a gang killed an innocent
Person walkin on the street?

More compare their population to ours and you'll come to ur senses.

Sheyi

Are you even alright?, what about the lunatic who killed innocent kids at that elementary school, or is it at the cinemas, or the university shootings, or is it the random stabbings and mugging. Chill with your American worship yo.

oge4real: No where on earth is safe. Here in Sydney, the evening news is filled with murder, rape and all sorts of violence. Yet we are still here, just for one reason- the system is working!
If we had a working system in Nigeria, then I can assure you that Nigerians will rush home and help build our fatherland.

So the people working and making a living for theselves in Nigeria are dumb or blind. The way some of you make it seem though, like the people who didnt leave their fatherland at the slightest opportunity are foolish, spare us the sentiments. I agree with you that there is no safe country though.

safe country indeed . nl is full of these stories

everyone of us has been or knows someone who was the victim of violent robbery / kidnapping

these desperate liars

robbers were robbing my boss estate last year as he was driving into his house - they were fully armed
they attacked him later in hold up
they attacked my colleague on her way to work one morning
they attacked my wife in a hold up
they robbed and shot my colleagues relative
a colleagues neighbour was kidnapped as he was driving into his house
i was attacked by robbers last year


every nigerian can provide their own personal statistics of this nature

everytime i drive into my close , i am always on high alert for kidnappers

the op is disgusting and a liar. he cannot claim that he does not have friends /relatives/acquantnces who have been victims of crime


to say the country is unsafe is an understatement

rossik should ask NOI if nigeria is safe

There is no such thing as a "safe" country nevertheless nitwits like yourself blow these things outta proportion.

Texas.Cowgirl:


Last time I was in Nigeria, I was in my early teenage years, not ven in High school yet.
That shoity azz country scares the bejizuz out of me.
As we started unpacking our bags from Departure, one guy just came and pick up two of our bags as if we send am.
The thief was so brave o. In the middle of the day, with police around.
Police go just point gun anyhow. And they treat you like a criminal just because you just came from Amelikka. These cops literally had us unzipping our bags in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. Going through our stuff. WTF? This was wayyyyyyyy before 2006 o, so it definitely wasnt because of boko haram, na greed.
I promised myself never to go to Nigeria again. If not because I'm a true Ekiti girl, in love with her state and kinsmen, you think I'll ever think to break that promise (in the future)?
Next time I go to Nigeria, best believe it, I'm buying my own AK-47 for all those morafuckers

K. Let us know how that works out for you -__-

speedyboi:

180 what! When was this census carried out? Enough of all these overbloated figures already.

Btw...not every rich nigerian is a politician. Abeg. Nigerians can stereotype anything.

Like!!, I don't even understand some of these dimwits!

Afam4eva:
[size=14pt]The guy's brand of patriotism can really be annoying because even the devil knows that he's lying...You don't even need to go to Maiduguri or any part of the North to see that Nigeria is not safe. Even in broad daylight, people are been robbed in traffic in the center of the city and we're even talking about traveling inter-state.[/size]

How about the people that died in boston, the cinemas, sandy hook, the stabbings in colleges in the US...pleasee!!!! here's a bench \_____

payless: @poster

Why not travel to Maiduguri, Kano, Zamfara and spend few days there before coming here to tell us how safe Nigeria is? Are those places not part of Nigeria? I travelled from New Jersey to North Carolina between 1:30am and 9am without any itch from police, armed-robbers or anyone, could that be possible in Nigeria with a brand new car in the middle of the night? You are spinning too much these days, bro. Just yesterday you came here to post about a phony $100B investment coming to Nigeria. Stop it!

yes very possible.

Omo_Tier1:
Sorry, even though I live in the UK, as you may well have noticed I travel alot and Nigeria is one place I visit alot so I know first hand what it is like.

The fact is I can leave my house at 8pm tonight and drive all the way to Wales, or even Edinburgh and I would arrive there feeling safe and enjoying my gospel music all through the night with my heart feeling at home with me.

I remember traveling from Lagos at 7pm to Benin City and I got there at 2am due to traffic and only missed being attacked by thieves by a whisker and the reminder of the drive was on top speed! Even getting to stop at major eatery where those caoches from the East usual stop was a HUGE risk.

Lets stop kidding ourselves, Nigeria is only safe to those who have the means to protect themselves or have little of no value to loose if attacked.

chill for a sec though....how about the millions of people that use night buses, the Dangote truck drivers as well as all the other companies?

personally when I was in secondary school in Nigeria, we had a field trip (excursion) all the way from Port Harcourt to Jos and we left late so most of the trip was at Night and what can I say....I'm still alive!. We had the schools mopol security with us though but that wouldn't have stopped an ambush if one were to happen and nothing happened. The fact is that people tend to exaggerate these things way to much.

money-hungry :

Nigerian politicians n their wayward kids spend like kings abroad.
do your research!

anyone can spend money, not just politicians and their "wayward kids"

booqee: Is he telling us?? He wants a solution?! Ok sitdown mr president, solution would come and meet you! Olaretardeen!
I see u've even inaugurated a committee, as usual. Clap for yaself! You never fail to disappoint.

Chill.... Do you expect the president to join the JTF and go searching for terrorists ?

Deiok: That is why we are not progressing in this country. Because of such mentality of this is nigeria not usa or england.

I've said it before, the fact that your freaking life had been stagnant for over 10 years doesn't mean others aren't progressing.

mjay: soo what was the judges' assesment, how many yes did they get?

Four

Ishilove:
It is only when they are directly affected, that is when we ever get to the roots of the situation. Take the late Cynthia Osukogu's cas as an example. Her dad is a member of the military elite, that is why her killers were swiftly captured and brought to book. Were it to be the common man, the story ends with the killing.

For years boko haram has terrorised this country, killing thousands and injuring more, decimating families and quenching the joy in lives forever. The government claim to know the sponsors, but never once was a suspect being named. Till date we don't know the outcome of the investigations involving that northern governor who was fin.gered as a boko sponsor. The latest stunt GEJ has pulled is granting pardon to his former boss and state man, Alams; a man who milked Bayelsa dry for years. Fifty three years after independence, we have nothing to show as dividends. All these years, we are still disgracefully technologically primitive and backward.

This country is a disgrace to Africa and the world, and I feel nothing but sheer hate for its ruling class.

Inferiority complex just screams from some of you. Why the comparison with the US? its not necessary. We are a developing nation...... Yes? Don't we have less technology and infrastructure? Like!! You guys need to chill.

And don't you think the government was absolutely concerned because its the flipping US and the whole world is watching?..... Isn't B.I.G's killer still on the loose after over 16years?, what about 2 PAC's killer? And so many under reported or unpopular murders in the US...

Don't get me wrong, i absolutely commend the US police force and the President for apprehending the criminals but I'm tired of the fucking comparison. Finally, my country is not a disgrace to me, if you are tired....then leave!.

Afam4evaIsASlut:

Dude, STFU and dont tell me what to do. Shouldnt you be on a thread boasting about how supposedly rich ur father is and how ure financially better than your neighbors? Ok, then. Fxuck off!!

I can't.....I just can't with you. Always cracking me up ..LOL!

manny4life:

More like "Daz all"..lol

Btw, why did u even bother quoting him? He's on his period, so please, leave him to his ranting.

LMAOOO!!!!! @"he's on his period", DEAD!!

Afam4evaIsASlut:

Faaagghhit! Fagggooot!!! Fragoottt!!

YOURE A FA*G!

You posts prove it! You come across not only as a tribalistic , bigoted, enemy of progress but also as a cross-dresing fa*g that'll cause trouble then try to flee when the consequences of your actions start to rain on you! Biyyytch, u always come at me then when I smack you upside ur flat pancake shapen head you try to play innocent. Whats with u fuckas and trying to play innocent every time you start trouble?

You really need to chill...... That's all

Afam4evaIsASlut:

Sadder than urself that comes on here to fulfill your fantasies of being the child of a billionaire?

LOOL aii g, if that's how you feel..... It's cool


P.S i really can't be bothered about what people think of me on nairaland.... Like! It's never that serious.

kingoflag:

And here comes the other f*ag: Mr, My-Father-Got-Mucho-Dollares.

Why cant you dunces just stay back in Africa and stop coming here trying to pollute us with your primitive and backwards ways of thinking?

LOOOOL!!!!!! awww, your just so sad........its amusing

manny4life:

Lol, seriously... Dude got serious issues. I won't let you off easily this time calling me names, "RESTRAIN YOURSELF". I read through everyone's post, and literally summed up my opinion from the first page and their responses, and the second page did not help - for you to even think you're important in the scheme of things (in ref to my statement) is not ONLY irrelevant and foolishh thinking, it's overly PATHETIC.

I have said this before, go meet your own mates and yell/shout with them, I got class... peace.

Ayeeee!!!... E can Pain!!! Lol.

slim fit :


You don't sound very intelligent, the people you mention are entertainers not public official s you fool the difference is very wide idiot.

and the governor's daughter has automatically become a public official?...just so you know people like rihanna, lady gaga, angelina jolie etc are way more influential than the Governor of Enugu.

Virgin Finder: She's Yoruba.

I'm not surprised.

Being a successful family woman despite her fame will always stand her out among her peers/competitors.

I'm proud to be Yoruba.

I don't think anyone cares if shes Yoruba, people just acknowledge the fact that she is Nigerian and African,

I keep wondering the sorta illiterate and highly backward nitwits that grace nairaland .

AwodwaGyanOniwe: NAIJA GIANT OF SLUMS IN AFRICA BIG BUBBLE/CIRCLE. Zimbabwe is far better than ya'll.

http://maptd.com/urban-africa-slum-populations/

LOOL .... Too many people in denial these days.... Why so much hate against naij though ?

Fogman: This is just paper theory. How does an average Nigerian with less than $1 per day comprehend this. Nonsence

Which "average" Nigerian with less than $1, maybe in your messed up head.

AwodwaGyanOniwe: Theres nothing to celebrate on this REBASING STORY. Other than its just crooked politicians who are just trying to u happy by this nonsense. This still doesnt benefit ORDINARY NIGERIANS. Number one spot with million of people living in poverty, poor roads,poor electricity supply etc..

But didnt you comment and say the exact same thing about Nigeria on some other thread concerning Nigeria's economic growth?..... It's obvious you're not pleased by the growth taking place in Nigeria and thats fine but please spare us all the hoolabalu...
Fact is Nigeria is growing at a pace and i don't care how significantly small or large it is as long as we grow. Thats because even if i don't get to benefit a whole lot from it, my children or grandchildren will and thats enough fulfillment for me.

Prof Corruption:

More like "cluelessness pass cluelessness"

deluded nitwits like yourself should not speak.

She did what?
U must be high on some cheap drugz.

Why didn't she answer alams question? Thief!

because she's the Minister of Finance and not the Flipping President!!!!!
