No one will tell me about the Giant Story , No good roads, No electricity , No

MrMaestro:

Probably because Nigeria was at it's most successful economically during his reign.

Really? The idiot did nothooioooonoogoooooooooooooooooong

Nowenuse:


Exactly.
If not for that Sharia sweep. Core-north would have been one step ahead. Seriously, Zamfara state is really a problem to Nigeria, just see how the current governor is using religion to play with the minds of his people.

Many of their leaders who want to keep using islam to keep the masses in bondage are fully aware of the Westernization threat to their people and they are trying to fight it by all means.
Many of them are now ashamed because we keep on rubbing statistics to their face of how backward they are. Many northernerns are now migrating out of their states and their views of life is gradually changing.

Kindly keep off this internal issue from this thread. God bless.

MPSA:
Nigeria will ALWAYS remain a backward country before my eyes, No Giant, No Nothing

Lol. Stop posting pictures of Nigeria of the 2000's. Most of all these have been taken care off.

MtuMsuper:

Does nigeria have a constitution? If so, what is its purpose?

Same way different state in america have different laws. It's called federalism.

Are you sure? A barrel of crude was struggling between 45$+ and 50$+ . Yet he paid all outstanding foreign debt. OBJ, may not have been loved by his kinsmen despite the fact that he met less 3billion$ when he was the President of Nigeria but he left the Federal Reserve of Nigeria with about 40billion$. Despite all the little anomaly and atrocity . He, even allowed telecommunications to reach a climax of liberalisation. Stop this hatred toward OBJ. I may not like the man but he helped southern Nigeria have access to becoming military personnel etc. There are too many to mention as his legacy.

Nowenuse:


Exactly. We should be able to learn abt each other. These are what platforms like this are meant for.

I myself have learnt a lot about Kenya here. And seriously, i'd like to visit Kenya sometime in the future. I think Kenya has some fantastic tourism industry.
When it comes to tourism, quality of infrastructure and aesthetic appeal, Kenya is ahead of Nigeria.

Sure bro. Always welcome.

fanficgirl:

Why Obasanjo when he was horrible?

I really don't know but no nigerian president is known as much around here.

MPSA:
Nigeria, nigeria How I view nigeria, Nigeria will always remain nigeria before my eyes No Giant, No nothing I don't even see brazil, china or india like other nairalanders , When I look at the picture of Nigeria Nigeria will always remain ''the Nigeria I know'', NOTHING ELSE

You're very silly

MtuMsuper:

There is not a single Southern african country with native official language except SA. Get your facts right.

Swaziland

OBJ wasted 8 years of our lives. Even GEJ 6 years was better than OBJ's 8 years.
OBJ did almost nothing on improving electricity, what did he do about diversifying our economy? Improving agriculture and industrialization? Allowing telecoms into Nigeria, is that an achievement?
Infact Yar'adua's 2 yrs of presidency was better than OBJ's 8 years. Someone that openly declared genocide on his people. Gosh!

TayserMahiri:


Trust me, most kenyans would mention Obasanjo if asked any Nigerian president.

Yes, that's because since we returned to democracy in 1999, he spent the longest time on seat (8 years).

TayserMahiri:

My goodness, talk of chaos abi? WHy would people not pay bills? Do they want free water? I am not sure I would trust borehole water at all in a city esp like Gidi grin grin/quote]

Because water was free in those days.

Boreholes water are not well waters. They are clean water from the rocks beneath the soil and they are still treated with a machine before consumption.

Sewage are built in such a way that the waste can't escape into the soil.

fanficgirl:

Hahahaha abi, Nigerians don't know the meaning of aesthetics

Yes. We really do not. We are very average in that aspect.

I watched that YOLO movie and I was laughing chai !! they were speaking plain pidgin and adding some of their language. they were even using Nigerian exclamations like oya, na wa oo, chei ,aaahhh, abeg
I was like WTF !!! they were even using Nigerian swag .
and the worst part is that their accent does not even fit pidgin at alllllll, it was now like they were saying rubbish .

is that wat just30 was calling "Ghanaian pidgin" these guys shud just come up with something unique to ghana and stop trying to copy Nigeria all d time cos dey are really bad at it looooll

Obasanjo achievements:
Telecommunications: this is one of the reasons you are using Internet, watching Manchester United, Chelsea and foreigner news, social media, Nairaland etc they are too numerous.

Banking sector:
Gone are the days you put money under ya bed.
Gone are the days you carry bulk of money from Onitsha to Lagos, Lagos to Onitsha, the reason for crimes along our Inter States roads.
Robbery has reduced on this roads. Thanks to the improved banking sector.

TayserMahiri:


visit and see for yourself. We're not posting fake pics. Welcome, and carry a camera

Hehehehe! Coincidentally, somebody is coming from Kenya..

I hope to be there with cameras.

Are you a realist or ideologist? How much was dollar equivalent to naira during OBJ in comparison to the two you mentioned? What did Yar'Adua do in his home state that has stood the test of time till today when he was a governor? And the youngest of them all, GEJ, did you know how much money he made during his tenure via corruption?


I would have posted a link on here to see how corrupt GEJ was but I wouldn't do such.

Let me not go further on this issue because it is digression from what this forum is meant to achieve.



Cheers

MtuMsuper:
@forgiveness, forgive me but my eyes are tired. Will read the long post in full 2mrw, but know this: if i ever come to Lagoose one day, i will not trust the water.

Ok na.

But rather than dying our population is increasing.

TayserMahiri:


Must be the reason.

Do you know that as of 2014, Kenya was just 25% urban according to a CIA factbook while Nigeria was 47% urban.
Both countries were urbanizing rapidly at a rate of 4% every year. What can you say about this?

you are living in a self deluded world

Jay254:


Honesty should not be so painful to admit... Obama came to Kenya,Ghana, Senegal and S.A... Chinese Primier Visited Kenya,S.A and Nija... Trump had phone call conversation with presidents of Nija, S.A, Egypt and Kenya...

Hehehehe! Ethiopia, Egypt, South Africa and Nigeria.

Internet and Banking is something that was due. It developed almost synonymously almost all over Africa and other 3rd world nations at the same time.
So are we also going credit that achievement to the presidents of all 3rd world nations at the same time?
Are we also to thank OBJ or Buhari for bringing 4G network?... Plzzzz.

Allowed continous democracy? Are you for real? Was he supposed to take over power through military? You see the problem with we Africans. Things that are normal to other people, we count them as achievements. We celebrate mediocracy too much.

Abeg, which railway did OBJ develop? From which city to which city? Where were the trains? Not Until GEJ started developing and rebranding Nigerian railway system, everything we had about railway were the old trains and railways the colonial masters left for us.

A country being indebted is not the problem. USA owe large debts, but it is the world super power and still making progress.

Developmental achievements that make a country advance are things like
> Greater diversification of the economy
> Industrialization and Promotion of locally made goods and services
> Development of world class infrastructures
> Advanced improvement of the education, transportation and healthcare system e.t.c

Did OBJ do any of these?
I am so ashamed of we Nigerians for celebrating mediocracy as achievements. How can we progress with this kind of mindset for God's sake.
