Dutchbraht: GO TO HELL, YOU FOREIGNER PRETENDING TO BE A NIGERIAN. When the British were here for nearly a century, what did they do? Why was Nigeria an underdeveloped bush at independence without running water, electricity, basic healthcare services, roads, or even a single university or power plant, after a whole century of British rule? ALL THEY DID WAS LOOT OUR RESOURCES, and you have the AUDACITY to say they should come back and do what? JUST GET THE FUC.K OUT OF HERE. Our leaders may be corrupt, but they are ONE THOUSAND TIMES BETTER than the colonialists. Get that basic fat into your thick skull. 1 Like |

kYjelly2: Bullcrap. His WHOLE intent was to call for a return of the colonialists, using our nation's ills as his excuse. Maybe he's a foreign plant, who knows? The whole idea that British rule was 'better' is UTTERLY DISGUSTING, because it is predicated on LIES. The reason our grandparents and great grandparents left us with nothing, and were illiterate village peasants, was because the British LOOTED the economy for a century and put nothing back, with near zero investment in public education or anything else. FACT. At least today, if you are fed up wth Nigeria, you have the education and skills to emigrate to the UK, US, China etc, thanks to post-colonial black govts' investment in mass public education. Our grandparents under the British didn't have that option. They were stark illiterates who knew nothing outside their village farms, thanks to colonial neglect. Thank your lucky stars for independence. 1 Like |

kYjelly2: Don't give me that bullshiit ''not everything is the whites' fault'' slaveboy line. I never said ANYTHING was ''their fault''. I simply asked the guy who requested they ''return to rule'' to GET THE FCK OUT OF HERE. As for ''getting it right'', it will take SEVERAL DECADES MORE for Nigeria to become a developed country. Perhaps even a century. That is nothing to be ashamed of. Eighty percent of countries on earth are developing nations like Nigeria. It is our colonial mentality that makes us imagine that everywhere 'abroad' is Germany or USA. Meanwhile those are the exceptions in a world dominated by developing nations - the likes of Peru, Bangladesh, Sudan, India, Sri Lanka, Iran, Niger, Uganda, Chile, Turkey, Chad, Zambia, Albania, Jamaica, Mali, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Nepal, Burma, and Ethiopia amongst others. These are places which, to the average Nigerian, might as well not exist. Their white conditioned mind has told then the only places worth visiting, or learning about are Western Europe or the US. And if Nigeria is not like those two, then we have ''failed''. Disgusting way to look at the world, and life itself. 3 Likes 1 Share |

kYjelly2:You understand my point. The call for the British to return was an exaggeration. I gave alternatives options Nigeria has to get back on the right path such as Sowore,Moghalu and Ezekwesili. Imagine if someone like Ezekwesili is given a chance to be President or Moghalu highly educated intellectuals to rule over the country for just eight years. What has recycling the same useless leaders like OBJ,Yaradua or Buhari achieved?And now Atiku wants to come back to power despite his past antecedents of massive corruption and patronising marabouts for power. 2 Likes |

Rossikki:Nigeria will remain a shithole for possibly even the next 100 years as long as the Atiku,Buhari,Tinubu,OBJ etc still have a say in how the country is run. How many decades did it take Singapore,Hong Kong,UAE and Malaysia to achieve the level of development they achieved? The country is being pillaged at all levels local,state and federal.

Dutchbraht: Why do self haters like you always mention the same 3 or 4 Asian Tigers when displaying your hatred for yourselves? Are those the only countries on earth? You should have hundreds of examples, not just three. Leave the UAE out of it because that is a tiny nation of two million with bucketloads of oil. The 3 or 4 Asian tigers were deliberately created by the West after WW2 to act as a capitalist barrier against rampaging Soviet communism. The west funded them tremendously, transferred technology and opened western markets to their products and manufactured goods in an unprecedented fashion. THAT WAS HOW THEY BECAME 'TIGER ECONOMIES'. If it was due to their own 'genius' how come Burma and Cambodia are ''shithoies''? How come children are starving in North Korea? How come Nepal and Bangladesh are suffering serious underdevelopment? These are all brothers and neighbours of South Korea and Singapore. So why the huge difference in their level of development? It was the artificial intervention by the west in the tiger economies. Without that intervention, South Korea and Singapore would be no different from Burma and Cambodia. 1 Like |

Dutchbraht: Mumu. Did you ask how much the British looted between 1897 and 1960, before calling for them to return and rule you? By comparison the amounts THEY stole ran into several TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in today's money. Your brain only comes alive when it's time to hate and criticise your own people. But whites can come here and kill, destroy and loot your land, even cart off your ancient treasures to place in their museums, and give you a bible, and that would make you shut your eyes in prayer while they loot your country more, and when they go, you will be calling for them to come back to loot more. Olodo. Maybe they put some juju in that bible that turns you into a mumu whenever it comes to them. |

Rossikki:Your #mumuneverdo. Keep blaming the white man for all your problems,even though he left you to misrule your country since 1960 and turn it into the poverty capital of the world, through some of the worst corruption ever seen by mankind. The white man is why you don't have electricity,good sanitation,portable water,good road network and education facilities. He is also responsible for your leaders stealing $380 billion and keeping the money in Switzerland,USA,England,South Africa and UAE. Why don't you blame the South Africans as well when Nigerian leaders(Ibori,Odili,Alameishegha,Igbenideion etc) loot money to buy houses in Cape Town. 4 Likes |

Dutchbraht: OH SHUT IT, slaveboy. Since the white man left Nigeria, power generation, education, road and rail infrastructure, etc have risen by over 10,000 percent. FACT. WE ARE very LUCKY THEY WERE DRIVEN OUT. We are not where we want to be yet, but WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY from where we were when they were here, misruling and looting the country. Now shut your trap and be grateful for independence, because without that, YOU would today be an illiterate village farmer, hunter, or shoe shiner like your grandad was under British rule. |
Re: Nigeria Has The Least Intelligent Citizens In The World by Nobody: 11:23pm On Oct 08, 2018 |
Rossikki:How can you not have 24 hour electricity in the 21st century? You have armed robbers masquerading as leaders who have turned the treasury to their personal ATM. Nigerian leaders when they get sick go to UK,for education they send their kid abroad. We have been stagnant since 1960 and not made any progress. |

Dutchbraht: First of all, MAJORITY OF COUNTRIES ON EARTH TODAY do NOT have ''24 hr power supply''. I once listed scores of nations here with links to their regular power outages and many were surprised, because to them it was ''only in Nigeria'' that they ''take light'. You DULLARDS won't know this because for you, ''abroad'' means only Europe and the US - less than a sixth of the world population. If you travelled around the REAL WORLD, featuring countries of the type I mentioned above, you'd realise that Nigeria's problems are common to MAJORITY of nations on earth. Get rid of your colonial mentality. Take a trip to Honduras, Uganda, or Cambodia on your next trip overseas, instead of US or UK. See that majority of nations have issues. More Indians send their children to school overseas than Nigerians. Do you see Indians insulting their leaders because of that? I mean, you people should travel to the REAL WORLD. Then you might just end up not hating yourself and Nigeria so damn much. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Rossikki:I love Nigeria,but I hate it's useless and satanically corrupt leaders. I hope to see a change in my lifetime,but I doubt it. I wept when I visited Nigeria this year after a ten year hiatus. Nothing had changed, it was worse than when I left in 2008. I realized the so called change was all propaganda. Lagos has the worst airport in the world,the roads are still in terrible shape and the country still operates as a jungle without any law and order. |
Re: Nigeria Has The Least Intelligent Citizens In The World by Rossikki: 11:41pm On Oct 08, 2018 |
Dutchbraht: Where and where did you go in Nigeria to know that ''nothing has changed''? Is Nigeria a single town or a village? How many airports have you been to ''in the world'' to know that Lagos Airport is the ''worst in the world''? Is your ''world'' not a ''world'' that comprises only the USA and Europe, throw in a couple of Asian countries? Ignorant little dunce. I will take you to some airports in the REAL WORLD that will make you BEG to be returned to Lagos Airport. The problem as I say, is that your colonial mentality means you don't actually KNOW the world. You know a very TINY fraction of it, which you foolishly have come to regard as the 'whole world', like a baby asked to bathe himself who only washes his belly. |

Rossiki is making perfect sense in my opinion but for being so combative and insultive towards Dutchbraht. Nigeria is work in progress. It is really myopic to claim we would be better off colonised. Nigeria's peace and progress is a wonder to many analysts seeing how well we have so far fared despite diversity. We can't be better off under colonisation. Those names you call as saviours may not necessarily be. Durotoye and Muoghalu could not reach a consensus agreement. They are just players who have not got opportunity to be where the bigwigs are. Realism as opposed to idealism dictates we work with an Atiku who would most likely regain our country from Buhari's failures. Nothing stops us from voting him out if he under performs come 2023. So, let's believe in our country if we wanna see it grow! 2 Likes |

Dutchbraht: You went to 3 states out of 36, and from that concluded that ''nothing has changed in Nigeria since 2008''. Are you well at all? Nigeria is the seventh largest oil producer in the world and still the poverty capital of the world. Nigeria has more people living in extreme poverty than India with almost ten times it's population. Go and study and research. Your problem is that you don't study and inquire. If you did you would realise that the oil income is mere peanuts for a country of 200 million people. Our annual budget is a mere 25 billion dollars. South Africa's annual budget is over 120 billion dollars. Nigeria is simply not as rich as many of you people think. You mentioned UAE. UAE has larger oil reserves than Nigeria, and exports double what we do annually, and has a population of just 9 million people. Why will UAE not look like heaven? Yet you made a post wondering why Nigeria was not like UAE. I mean, you people are so pompous and loud in your criticism, yet you know nothing. Totally ignorant. What YOU should do, instead of blaming everyone else around you, is take a leaf from the INNOSONs of our country. The DANGOTEs of our country. People who against all odds, YET STILL believed in Nigeria. Invested in Nigeria, and set Nigeria on the road to economic diversification to make the country more prosperous. In China, the largest employers of labour till today are mom and pop manufacturing outfits, set up in their home BACKYARDS. There they build everything from watches to handbags, which they export to places like Nigeria. Until WE take it into OUR HANDS individually, to help build this nation, and stop looking to foreigners to supply us with everything, but have the self-confidence and racial self esteem to BUILD FOR OURSELVES, you will still be here in thirty years time hoping the tiny oil money will make you become ''like UAE''. 2 Likes |

Rossikki:You are simply deluded!Why have you not said anything about the pillaging going in in local,state and federal level. Nigeria will never see progress unless this stops. And no single government since independence has done anything to hold those accountable for the massive heist that takes place on a daily basis. We all thought Buhari was going to fight corruption through the propaganda we fell for hook line and sinker,because we were not born during his reign in the 80's. Under his leadership corruption has worsened and he staffed his cabinet with several Ministers with weighty corruption allegations such as Amaechi,Fashola,Dambazau and Fayemi. Under APC we witnessed the following corruption scandals: 1)Buratai multi million dollar Dubai mansion he bought through his'savings from his snake farm' 2) Dambazau $2 million mansion in Conneticut,USA that was exposed 3)$25 billion dollar NNPC contracts awarded without due process 4)Timpyre Sylva 48 houses returned to him 5)Pension thief, Maina brought secretly into the country and given a promotion 6)$43 million dollar Ikoyi orphan money 7)Babachir Lawal grasscutting scandal. No single individual has been held to account. Under Atiku corruption will have a free reign. How do you remain optimistic despite no progress being made in the corruption war or the economy? |

Dutchbraht: Corruption is most certainly not worse under Buhari than under Jonathan, unless you've been living in a cave somewhere. Secondly, one thing you need to realise is that nations can prosper and develop in spite of corruption. Conversely, low levels of corruption do not guarantee development. On Transparency International's index, there are countries with as much, or nearly as much corruption as Nigeria, yet are farther ahead in development. Countries like Russia and Ukraine for instance. Conversely, Ghana, according to the index, is far less corrupt than China, India, Bosnia, Argentina etc, yet where are they in terms of development? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index So it is not ALL about corruption. Focusing solely on that allows people like you to shirk from your individual and collective responsibilities to the country. Citizen action. What are YOU doing to make the country better?

socialmediaman: I understand that people need to be able to point to a candidates history, which makes the fact that buhari is president "again" today even more shocking, since we all knew him ONLY as a former Dictator. Look at Sowore, he has exposed more corruption cases than Mr. Anti-Corruption Buhari himself, using his media outlet Sahara Reporters. Love or hate Sahara, we know that they were on GEJ like white on rice and have been on Buhari's government. For instance, they exposed the fact that the military head was buying houses in Dubai in this government. The guy built Sahara Reporters from nothing, unlike Buhari, who's achievements outside of politics are non existent. |

Remember who came third during the SDP primaries that emerged MKO Abiola? It was Atiku Abubakar. He continued fighting for democracy, joined the G-34 group that was prominent at the fight for democracy during the Abacha era, which later metamorphosed into PDP.
