GoodFaith: / The facts are glaring. Nigeria is a case of he whom more is given, less is expected. The attitude is very peculiar to black folks in general. Rarely do you find an outstanding black nation. The sad part is that they are very comfortable with it and wouldn't mind passing the buck. But why engage in this long debate with someone who is in no position to affect any change? You may end up killing his fantasy which may not be good for his overall well-being. I wish we all get back to discussing Building Construction. Heck! If there is nothing else to discuss, I wouldn't mind contacting Ministry of Lands in Ibadan and have them demolish Egunmogaji's house. Good bye to Lawn Tennis or table tennis on the roof ![]() ![]() ![]() That will definitely blow up this thread and get him some reprieve from the "monitoring spirits" stalking him for comments. // 2 Likes |

diordaves: You’re shifting the goal post. My rebuttal was to counter that oyinbo no dey do fence, it wasn’t to counter height of fence. My fences in the us are at the highest allowed per city code. My fences in Nigeria are designed to keep the neighbors safe from me so they need to be high. My activities are not mainstream and are best kept hidden. Walls/fences are tools for a job. It only needs to be as secured for the intending purpose be it decorative, security. |

Thank you so much. People like you gives me hope for Nigeria. Most educated Nigerian do not know that its what a person does that he or she will have to live with. Anywhere in the world, including developing countries; I have yet to see their wealthy citizen living abroad. Example: Mike, Dangote and even my own common neighbors in Magodo. Some has Visas and still never used till this very day. I have cousins that are too busy with their life in Nigeria, they refused to travel when they clearly has the means to do it a world over. Honestly, Nigeria is the reflection of our unpatriotic self. Finally, Most people complain of Nigeria not being good, but the money they spent to ship their family abroad was not made abroad but in Nigeria to start with!!! Nigeria is a Developing country and it needs her citizens to stop running from their responsibilities, rather, work on creating our country to be like the one we willing fully slave our youthfulness, recourses and energy for abroad WHAT A BIRD EATS; ITS WHAT ITS WILL FLY WITH...Love Nigeria despite is imperfections and be willing to change what's within your avenue ice4u999: 3 Likes |

I totally understand your view. My take on this matter is simple. The corruption is perpetuated by us NIGERIANS. All that you outlined are the result of YOU and I. All am saying is that we Nigerians needs to caution ourselves and do the right things at all times, then our country will change for better. Running away had never changes anything, but makes us a slave to other society. All our educations and intellects are used abroad rather than returning home to apply whatever we have learned worldwide on our travels. Example is the Chinese; they travel abroad to acquire knowledge, then send it back home to copy and mass produce. That's All! GoodFaith: 1 Like |

Dremca: Dremca: That you chose to 'parrot' the language of Trump, someone who is renowned for bankcrupting/killing business, over and over again, someone who is renowned for cheating the poorer folks by not paying his 'due tax' (using legal loopholes), someone who is renowned for abusng women as an 'object of his depravity',.... shows you are not different from every other Nigerian, morally bankcrupt! You can quote George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Reagan, Clinton, even Obama and many more intelligent American Presidents.............. but to be parroting Trump of all people, a probably, mentally-unhinged, running-mouth dude, usimply becaue he is insulting your country of birth, is an indication of ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also, you are mixing-up 'religiosity and spirituality'. Nigerians are likely the 'most religious people' on earth, churches and mosques every where. Religious 'noise' throughout Sunday and on very early hours of the day when children are supposed to be sleeping, not to mention the Fridays or the shennanigans they do along the Lagos-Ibadan express way! Mouthing 'earth-shattering but practically ineffective prayers' on things God has given us the 'mental power' to resolve ourselves! But that is where it ends. Nigerians are very far-away from being 'spiritual'. Spirituality is your personal relationship with God (or a higher being that you beleive in). Spirituality controls all facets of your life and make you a better person and you not only affect your environment positively, you also have an 'elevated, inner consciousness' that would not make you do all the corrupt things that Nigerians, even the so-called "men-of-god" and Islamic sheiks are deep into - looting public funds, taking advantage of weaker ones, sexual misconducts, ritual and inhuman killings, kidnapping, e.t.c. Let me conclude by saying that Nigerians are good at 'mouthing religious regurgitations from their Holy books', showing-off in religious attires and building religious monuments, just like the Pharisees but their heart is very far from God. 5 Likes |

Average Nigerian has the mindset of the easy way of making and in Nigeria politics is the highest paying job. No wwonder Fela said in his song, "politics na big big business." Only in Nigeria you see politicians ranking as billionaires. An average Nigerian job seeker would rather apply for a federal government job that pays 30k than a private job that pays 50k because, there is always a means of earning illegally through back door that cant be done in a private establishment. it boils than to changing the mindset of "easy way" GoodFaith: |

I never intend using words of Donald Trump, intact, I never liked that man for the reasons you mentioned and more. But the truth be told, the country is in shamble. An as for religion, many Nigerians are over religious but morally bankrupt. How many Nigerians will fail and rise up again. Average Nigerians see failure as the handwork of the devil or he/she will believe the uncle in the village caused the failure. Rather than a medium of learning something new. Many Nigerians spend so much time to fast and pray but never spend a time to add value to him/herself. People need to change their thinking before the country can be better. Daboomb: |

If you support the Buhari regime, then you are part of the problem of Nigeria. Nothing has changed since the 80s simply because some fufu heads believe in the same losers and keep electing them to role the nation. Meanwhile, three generations wasted away between 1980 and 2000.

true2home: My brother please save your strength no need arguing trust me. People only know what they think they know. They say Nigeria is bad and they can't live or invest in the country but yet they build a retirement home in Nigeria. Claiming to connecting to their root. Anybody can live overseas and then fly to Nigeria when ever they want to visit families which is the same as connecting to your root. The truth why they build retirement home is simply because it cheaper to build in Nigeria and 2000 dollars pension in Nigeria will give the wonderful life style country overseas will never give them. Why not retire in these wonderful countries and stay in their seniors homes where they have helps all the time and people to wipe them down? Yet they chose to come back to Nigeria where their 2000 dollars pension will enable them hire drivers, cleaners, cooks to prepare better afam soup. Yet they condemn this same country. Nigeria is bad but you see more people like us working overseas on Nairaland property forum building, looking and asking questions about their buildings or friends buildings been erected in Nigeria. Yet herdsmen never come out come kill them o. Nigeria like I said before have her challenges and the same applies to other countries. No Nigeria TV show how bad the crime rate is in America but they are quick to showcase the ones in Nigeria. Let me not beat this USA own too much but people should do us a favor watch Akon's video on how USA market herself. Come see some Nigerians in my church that left well paying jobs in Nigeria only to come here to no Job. Guess what, the church every now and then will contribute money for them to hold themselves. Some are here working at Walmart and saying if only they knew. At thesame time some with nothing happening for them in Nigeria come here make money and then go back home to invest. Some Nigerians overseas are the biggest hypocrites ever and the funny questions some always ask is if Nigeria is good why are you here and then I ask them if India / America is good why are Indians moving businesses to Nigeria, why are so many of them seeking employment in Nigeria , why will a Chinese man aquire lands from contract money he earned in Nigeria and then sell those lands back to Nigeria at higher margin and finally why are so many of these Nigerians that say evil about the country coming to retire in Nigeria? My brother like I said save your strength, it not worth arguing with people that argue based on what they see on the Internet. 6 Likes |
