If anybody doubts what the op is saying, just come take a drive in Lagos and you will see illiteracy at its very PEAK!!

Crazy drivers taking one way, running traffic lights with reckless abandon. Any small holdup, danfo has entered bush to bypass the holdup. Okada has climbed the curb we’re pedestrians are supposed to be walking and now riding there...

Omo it is real and we need a solution.

May God help us to get it right one day, amen!

That is lawlessness not illiteracy. Brits and Americans would be lawless too if the law is not efficient and punitive against misconduct in the UK and USA.

When a judge sells judgment in Nigeria, to set a rich murderer free, is that illiteracy too?

Let us learn to put things in perspective. Nigerians. As Africans, are exemplarily accomplished when it comes to educational prowess.

We should not confuse lawlessness, aided mainly by bad and very corrupt governance, to mean illiteracy or lack of intelligence.

Getting governance right is the prerogative of all of us and not leaders alone.

I just don't get why Buhari and co won't let them go. Nigeria would be more united and far better off without them.

No nation can truly develop and be great hosting enemies-within, i.e Igbos, as Nigeria does.

What all Nigerians should push for uncompromisingingly is restructuring and more regional autonomy so every region in Nigeria can define their space in their own true image.

This 'one Nigeria' thing is really a pain around the neck of Yorubas.

Imagine oved 10 million ingrate Igbos in the SW, beefing Yorubas 24/7 they should be grateful to, yet how many Yorubas in their godforsaken SE? 200 to 500k? If that sef.

"One Nigeria" really is unfair Nigeria.

they don't hate Nigeria, they are just using that as a bait to get presidency

Where were they during Jonathan's regime when stealing wasn't corruption

They are just pained cos they aren't part of the looters.

Had it been Jonathan is still in power till today n all these is happening they won't utter a word.

Just imagine someone like jaroman who hates Nigeria will passion change his voice n called Nigeria a great country when someone pressed his mumu botton that anyim pius anyim will b President.

Give igbos presidency n see how they will start describing Nigeria as paradise

Here on NL you lot are the worst identity thieves fraudulently using Yoruba/Hausa/Fulani aliases for your deception.

You won't stay in your godforsaken SE yet you can never appreciate others and behave decorously wherever you go.

I have to tell myself the truth the IQ level in Nigeria is 171 in the world, the illiteracy in Nigeria is so much that 85% of the population are brainless and cannot think. I was just coming across an article the helicopter private companies and airlines are relocating to countries like Ghana and Cameroon. The next thing the Nigerian government says and the Nigerian people they are selling helicopters to Ghana. This is the type of illiteracy in Nigeria with the Citizens. The law of Nigeria States anything imported cannot be re-exported only if the company goes bankrupt or rule relocating. So now a lot of the aviation companies are now relocated and Nigerians are happy


https://dailytrust.com/how-nigeria-exported-over-n100bn-worth-airplanes-to-ghana-in-2021

If you deduced the actions in the bold amount to illiteracy, I could safely say you are illiterate. You replicated what you accused Nigerians of doing. The ability to read and write has nothing to do with the level of enlightenment or stream of thought. Most Nigerians do not cast their votes based on ideology or philosophy but idiotic pressures such as ethnicity or other selfish ends.

You have a good point. Very confused and duplicitous people. Empty megalomaniacs as well.

Imagine Azikiwe saying God has given Igbos the "divine privilege" to rule over Nigerians.

We wonder what God him and his Igbo folks worship.

Your argument is completely vaild. Igbos have always been disruptive and offensive saboteurs when not in charge of things or able to subjugate others.

Even the civil war was declared foolishly because Ojukwu wanted to comandeer the oil wealth of the SS for his barren and greedy Igboland. Yet they will never stop blaming Awolowo for their own folly.

The conman Kanu was once a PDP hack and pro-Nigerian. He only remembered the urgency of Biafra when Jonathan was ousted.

We really should all fight for regional autonomy. It will solve a lot of problems.

If you can still refer a professor as not educated, you're an example of your opinion.



You must be Mistaking education for world civilization

There are people in Nigeria their profession ship are totally junk some from some people from their PhD level in less than 1 year 1 and 1/2 years they are made through first source in Nigeria even in some universities in southwest it is the same thing in less than two years somebody is made a professor. Look at the Nigerian educational system where we have the most professors and we are last in the world in everything we just – processor ships to donkeys which can achieve nothing look at our universities which are ranked the worst in the world. Where are professors in Nigeria only think they are good in marine wives and playing with small girls. When you talk about a professor a professor must cope with the behaviour you cannot be a professor and you are behaving like an illiterate supporting criminals following criminals up and down the place what is your education good for. Go to Britain go to America use in Nigerian professors and doctors cleaning floors and plates

How does being in prison amount to illiteracy? Please explain

Everybody in the world is developing his progress in Nigerians all over the world are worshiping criminals. Look at the amount of documentaries which are going around when Nigerians Communities abroad and leadership worship criminals. From BBC voice of America France 24 DW TV ABC network NBC and a lot of international media channels make documentaries that Nigerians abroad only come to do crime and support criminals. So if these people are educated why don't they use their education to better their life than to destroy their life. Hey have you seen which is so stupid in this life he will run through the Sahara desert and the mediterranean sea get to Europe he start supporting the idiot which did not even give him electricity in his village in Nigeria when he is in Europe. Our problem from beginning is illiteracy. Nigerians in America with tell you they're the most educated black people but in reality American government including the CIA says Nigerians are criminals. This is what I claim that we are illiterate the Host community does not even want us right there we are fooling ourselves and different videos will be servicing of force killing herself for criminals

If you claim it's other way round, pleas sight an example, maybe a university who do as u claimed.

All over the world including Europe and America if Nigerians are so educated why do they vote for criminals and fellow criminals all over the world. Look at the Nigerian senators in America American news channels and making documentaries of their villages and laughing at them no water no electricity at 70% of the youth in their villages are unemployed but Nigerians in America voted for these people so can you see we are educated when there are a million people better to vote for. A problem in this country is illiteracy. We believe we are educated but in every statistics we cannot even pass rather we go and elect criminals and follow criminals abroad

Yes you are right that it is lawlessness, but I believe it’s born majorly out of illiteracy.

If we were an intelligent race, we would have made moves by now to enforce laws like how the white man enforces laws.

Do you know what I faced yesterday? A two lane road was completely blocked by one way drivers, such that we were all at a standstill, I mean who does that? Only monkeys?

Only subhumans would completely block oncoming traffic for miles, by forming a one way lane on the lane of incoming traffic. Only animals would do that bro!

Because common sense in the absence of law enforcement would at least tell people that if you drive on the lane for incoming traffic, such that you now have a queue of cars, there would be no way for traffic to move and instead of a journey that would have taken 15 minutes with an orderly queue, everyone is now stuck there “indefinitely” or for hours until the senior monkeys arrive to try to ease traffic.

I do. Trust me. Lagos is insane. I connect with everything you are saying because I have experienced it.

LASTMA will let 'Korope' buses and Okada riders get away with madness because they feel those folks dont have money they can extort.

Meanwhile you with the nice SUV will be put through hell because they want you to 'drop'.

It is about corruption, debased greed and a failed system that has created a survival of the fittest animal instinct in most Nigerians.

The main problem is 'one Nigeria' where leadership has given all Nigerians a 'me, myself and I' selfishness where it is every man/woman for himself.

Return the nation to regionalism, making Nigerians directly responsible for their own space, and you will see a big difference.

FG must remove their greedy and myopic hands from State and regional affairs as much as possible.

When a people become entirely responsible for their own success or failure then they will behave better because of the need for self-preservation.

As it is FG wants to do everything and retain control of all processes. With that they have created a culture of corruption , lawlessness and irresponsibility where Nigerians misbehave only to point the fingers at the failed central structure we continue to maintain.

Why, for example, is the FG rejecting State policing when RRS in Lagos has been a success making the State comparatively one of the safest in Nigeria for foreigners and Nigerians?
