There is nothing like a passed state. I just gave you the definition of a failed state and I explained why Nigeria doesn't fall into that category. I know you are frustrated with Nigeria, we all are. But there are many Nigerians who have returned home from western countries and they are doing much better here at home. Yes Nigeria has failed to live up to its potentials but it is not a failed country. It is still a land of opportunity for those who are patient and willing to make the necessary sacrifices.

Sweetlemon:
How many people here have not failed an exam or at anything before?
Some of the most successful people in the world have been known to fail not once, twice, three, four, or five times but many times. You have not failed until you give up!
Gani Fawehinmi graduated with a 3rd class from Law school or was it his LLB?

plaetton:

Bros, I agree with most of what you're saying. We all do.

But consider for example, if you were a citizen of Benue, you stand there and watch waves of Ak-47 wielding Fulani herdsmen kill, pillaged sack ine Benue community after another, proudly parade around their prizes with their AK 47s, while the police looks on from a distance, impotent.

Would then consider Nigeria a failed state or not?

Consider as another example, the residents of ikorodu and parts of Ogun state fully under the control of bandits that Rob, rape and kill residents as they like.

Ikorodu is in the outskirts of Lagos, the financial hub of Nigeria and infact, Africa.

Can you tell the residents of these areas that you have a functional government in Nigeria?

hahn:


I agree. I am too young and wish to be enlightened. List them here.

Let me help you out.

Is power supply better?
Is the country more secure?
Is the standard of education better?
Are the cost of things cheaper?
Does the naira have more value?
Do we have NEW and better leaders?
Are the youths now the leaders of the country?
Is water supply better?
Do we have better roads?
Is healthcare better?

And a little elaboration on the points won't be doing too much.

Thank you

There are parts of this country where the violence is definitely out of control. The govt does not yet have a grasp on the criminal activities of those Fulani herdsmen or those Ijaw militants. But there was a time when the govt did not have any answer for Boko Haram either and that situation has been improving steadily. The key is not to lose hope. Our major problem in this country is tribalism, we see ourselves as foreigners to one another, encouraging hostility to the point where one tribe can invade the territory of another on a whim and wreak havoc. Nigeria has a unique problem in this regard and it is fixable but it will take a lot of time and effort, as well as positive constructive thinking.



Again, there are still a lot of problems in Nigeria. But there is probably only one thing you need to remember, there are more millionaires in dollars living in Nigeria today than at any other point in her history. There is more wealth in Nigeria than in any other African country in the world, and more and more of that wealth has nothing to do with exposure to government. Developed countries were also developing at a point in time, they were developed by innovative and hardworking citizens not by their governments. Blaming govt and waiting for govt to do everything for us is a mindset problem for Nigerians. We need to do better for ourselves by ourselves instead of just complaining.
Out of all those salient problems which you have listed which one are you going to try to solve my brother? I think I have said enough.

hahn:


Chairman, it appears you have nothing to say

babadee1:


I have said enough, hopefully some other users have learned something from the exchange. Have a good day.

plaetton:


I kinda get your point, but I disagree.

You can't rationalize FAILURE, make the rationalization of failure a sub-culture, and then expect to compete favorably in a competitive world.

If we continue to rationalize FAILURE, that mentality Rob's us of the necessary impetus needed to make corrections and move forward.

Just entertain yourself with the plethora of excuses our leaders at every level rationalize for their many many failures.

How many of our past and present leaders have ever ever admitted a mistake, failure, a regret for their policies and actions ?

None.

Another good example.
Nigeria is a FAILED state.
Each time I say that , someone is quick to tell me that it's not, despite a universe of evidence pointing to the obvious fact.

It is so unfortunate. This has got to be the height of madness!! Thank God she's getting served on her own thread.

What epic nonsense.

Just look at her diction and you can tell she must have re-sat english language a dozen times in WAEC before they eventually got tired of seeing her name and letting her go out of pity.

thanks dear parvenu, I am just too angry with people trying to glorify her father for call to bar. I don't have anything personal against her and I am happy for her, I just can't fathom why this will be a news. I guess the Ops in other threads showing off her call to bar never knew she failed. I have friends who failed and had to 're-sit this year, they were called yesterday but none try to create mountain out of it because it's not too fanciful for one to fail bar part 11 finals (just 40 marks to pass).

Everyone in life must have had a ugly experience (failure) but making news out of it (in the name of politics) is what I despised

I raise my hands .

I had never failed an exam.
Neither did Gani.

Fail exams?

There is a reason why it's called an examination.
To test ability to think and solve problems.

Failure is failure.

Mr or miss,an educational system that produced a GEJ as a supposed ph.d holder and his wife,patience as a 2.1 degree holder is capable of being influenced in any field by anybody,so don't go to any conference rubbish.

dimieprincess:

In same way, a military base that produces brains like the chief "dullard" as general can never provides security for the common man. I can decipher why there is so much insecurity in Nigeria. Jonathan speaks better than anybody in y.......

Jonathan children can't fail bar finals, an exam with just 40 marks for pass and the "dullard's" daughter can't pass it once.

handysuzy:
Earlier today, news of president Buhari's daughter being called to bar circulated like wildfire on the internet, but there is seem to be something behind those glittering pictures.

It has been revealed that the people who were called to the Nigerian bar today are those who failed or had conditional passes from the last bar exams. Could it be that the president's daughter failed or had conditional pass?

Sighs!
