The final nail on the coffin of Nigeria's Sense of entitlement? Twitter user @Mokhathi recently paid a visit to his native Freedom Park in South Africa, a park/museum created in honor of the Black Liberation struggle and the eventual abolishment of Apartheid. And inside the museum rests a board/Plaque recognizing and appreciating the various countries that came to their aid in numerous fields during those trying times. But what I found most interesting is the fact that Nigeria wasn't for once mentioned on that list. Take a look and examine the list yourselves: When you juxtapose this with the numerous stories we've heard about how Nigerian leaders spent billions helping South Africa as well as arm-twisting the Brits by indigenizing their companies, it's even more weird. Even Ghana, Tanzania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Lesotho were recognized, but not the self-proclaimed Giant of Africa with its "Big Daddy" complex. Isn't it funny that, during the decade Nigerian military officers were spending those billions of dollars "helping" far away South Africa, Bayelsa wasn't even on the national grid? Isn't it funny that, during the decade our "leaders" were spending those billions, numerous towns and villages in the Niger Delta had its locals drinking, washing, bathing, swimmig, DEFECATING, cooking and EATING from the same water source? Isn't it funny that the same country "spending billions" to "liberate" another couldn't even boast of reliable electricity or a functional steel mill to aid its industrial sector? This is when you begin to ask if the so-called 'Black Emancipation' spree, embarked on by our leaders at that period, was really an honest fight for justice or one big, overbloated ego trip meant to serve their interests and line their pockets. From the oil boom of the 70's which only translated to flashy, nonsensical Jamborees like FESTAC77 and ECOMOG noise, were the 70's and 80's really about exemplary Leadership or just self-serving idiocy? As a final shot, I'd advise my fellow Nigerians (especially our leaders) to shun this "pan African" foolishines and FOCUS on just serving the people who elected them, not some strangers hundreds of miles away! Pan-Africanism is a FARCE. Has always been so; will always be so. PS: E really pain this my guy! 24 Likes 3 Shares |

Chai, blacks and their wahala. Imagine people killing their brothers over something senseless. Meanwhile look at messi the god of soccer and arguably the most valueable human alive allowing an unknown creature take pics with him, even touching him personally. Chai what humility. We really have a long way to go i swear. 11 Likes 1 Share

l don't blame SA rather l blame those idiotic morons masquradeing as millitary rulers that spent most of our money trying to libetate a bunch of savages. lf i remember correctly Nigeria was the first country Mandela visted when he was relased to thank us for pumping billions to help them turns out it was a waste of resources And to think we nationalized British Petroleum because of these savage zulus 148 Likes 10 Shares |

I remember the Majek Fashek's hit track against the apartheid regime in the late 80's to early 90's. It's funny how all these events finally played out. Nigeria should learn to stop playing any big brother role to any African nation. Let's spend our resources to develop our country. If our neighbours like,let them die of hunger;that's their fucking business. 59 Likes 2 Shares |

Anyi3:all the songs by majek fashek, christy essien igbokwe and onyeka owenu aren't proof ? Well what of those days when the ANC used to come to schools and other corporate institutions to appeal for alms to support the war against arpatheid rule in SA ? It's a sure thing that we helped SA in their fight against arpatheid rule and it's another sure thing that south africans are ungrateful animala who don't deserve any help or sympathy. Don't understand why multichoice, shoprite, mtn and other SA owned entities should still be milking us badly here in Nigeria 72 Likes 1 Share |

No African country expended as much time,money and commitment to the fight against Apartheid as Nigeria.We also boycotted the Commonwealth games because of SouthAfrica. Detestable how People who marched all the way with South-Africans can be despised and forgotten by the governments and people of South Africa. 25 Likes 2 Shares |

Its a pity it has come to this. SA knowingly left out Nigeria for reasons best known to them, they altered history in order to sell a lie. Well, posterity will judge every man and every country. Lies may sell but truth will eventually catch up. 6 Likes |

Its a pity that Nigeria has fallen short of its previous glory. Is Nigeria still the acclaimed big brother of the continent? How can South Africa forget so soon the roles we played during their aparthied days. The collective actions of both our leaders and followers led us to where we are today! 2 Likes |
