But do they have the same culture, integrity and self control that Japan is well known for.

Michelle70:
OP vet ur facts right, ur information is not true

bigpriik:


You seff do you research.

Babalegba:
But do they have the same culture, integrity and self control that Japan is well known for.

Michelle70:
Japan is 378,000km2 while Nigeria is 928,000km2,
there is no way igbos will be bigger than 1/3 of Nigeria's land mass

bigpriik:


Are you sure you read what he wrote up there?

Michelle70:
yep, Japan habitable land is 127,000km2, its far bigger than the entire landmass of igbos(both habitable and non habitable)

bigpriik:



Can you give us a reference that proves that.

Babalegba:
But do they have the same culture, integrity and self control that Japan is well known for.

kollinzgee:
Roughly 90% of Japan's land is unhabitable occupied by rugged volcanic mountains,the largest habitable stretch of land in Japan is the Kanto plains which is about 16000sqkm in landmass about 60 percent of Japan's population lives here , infact the entire Japanese industrustry is establish in the plain.

The southeast alone is about 30,000 square kilometers with lesser population and almost all of it are habitable,with little mountains and no natural disasters we must take igbo Nation to the next level for the next generation.

NimrodEndOfDays:
[s][/s]Why do you black people have very low self esteem? why don't you beg the British to come and recolonize you and your people.

kollinzgee:
Kanto plains Japan.

Babalegba:
I have an adequate sense of self worth but despise self inflation and arrogance. I'm also ashamed of most Nigerians. Japanese culture has been solidifying for at least two thousand years and is geared towards total obeisance to the emperor and working for greater good of Japan even at the cost of a Japanese man's life. Integrity and honor is also Central to a Japanese man's life. Last but not least, the Japanese are taught from early in life to have control over themselves. All these things are lacking in the life of the average Nigerian. Stop lying to yourself.

NimrodEndOfDays:
That makes them superior to you? i am very sorry for those that receive advice from you

Babalegba:
Oh well... Proof of the pudding is in the eating. Price of goods has been static in Japan for the past forty years. Last week prices of some products were increased by 20 percent for the first time in forty years. In Nigeria the increase is every three months. They have accountable responsible altruistic leadership. Extremely low crime rate,no banditry and insecurity and no human rituals for quick money.No Yahoo Yahoo,twenty four hours power supply and they are at the forefront in theoretical physics. Did I mention that their country is fit for human habitation unlike your own where the sensible citizens are dashing to Burundi and Togo.The quality of a human being is not defined by physical characteristics but by imental and inward characteristics like integrity, humility, loyalty self control.These are then manifested in some countries like Nigeria being called underdeveloped while the Japanese that you claim to be on par with are classed as developed

NimrodEndOfDays:
oga. Japan was not always like that. They had their issues same with China. They had to face their problems head on and now they are reaping all the good things that comes from it. Singapore was more corrupt than Nigeria until Lee Kwan Yu came along and he took extreme measures and made sure only the best were put into positions of authority. In Nigeria, the worst of us are put forward to rule the best of us. Which is deliberate. We have a problem of diversity which is very negative for us as Africans because we are tribal based people. If the Chinese can overcome their shortcomings and become a super power, and Singapore overcome their challenges and have most institutions becoming first class, then we can be like them . Do you know that Lee Kwan Yu at a time never believe that Singapore could make it and prayed that the British would colonize them back because they didn't think that they could do it. That is your thinking. One major problem of Nigeria and Africa as a whole is joining people with different world views to form a country for selfish reasons. Please, every great country had their bad times but they overcame it.

Babalegba:
I do agree with most of your points although you did a Nigerian thing , making excuses.. India has many tribes and belief systems but they are thriving. Britain has four tribes but they are thriving. Nigeria has a perfidious population and the problem is mostly cultural . Nigerians lack control generally and there is no hope of remedy for the next thirty years or so because the current youth population are crooked hedonists who are more corrupt than their fathers. If Nigeria's problem is with varied tribes then why are the S.E ,S.S and S.W states not looking like London with honest well behaved citizens moving the states forward

This landlocked people with stupidity... are the cursed ni?

NimrodEndOfDays:
first of all, Adamawa State is more diverse than both the UK and India combined. The SS,SE,SW can never ever make progress with the 1999 constitution that was created by the NORTH to continue to hold everyone down and take us backwards. Before the coup, these regions made tremendous progress. So I don't know how you see or view your own things. Imagine having to build and airport and then giving it to the FG how stupid is that? You cannot build and manage a port, you cannot create your own electricity, you cannot even manage your resources. Some of you people who support this dead contraption are unbelievable. And I have this feeling you are from the North or SW. But North is what my guts is telling me. Any time I discuss with a friend from the North this is how they speak. Can't you people think of being alone and having your own country?

Babalegba:
Lol, I'm an egba man from Abeokuta. There is no need to balkanize the country, restructuring is the way to go instead of pursuing all this violent agitations that leads to a dead end. Anyway i lived in Britain for more than twenty years and on getting back to Nigeria,I found Nigerians extremely dishonest, perfidious, selfish, superstitious, lacking self control,arrogant empty and scurrilous,in fact they lack nation building qualities. As far as I'm concerned a Nigerian graduate is equivalent to a Briton with a G.C.S.E certificate. That has been my experience
