As I child I learnt that Nigeria has a lot of mineral resources coal, tin, columbite,lime stone e. T. C

But the reality is that Nigeria has only n uses crude oil!

Nigeria has those resources just that we focused more on crude.

Ur teacher wasnt lying.

My government teacher taught me that:

1. If you are a public office holder (governor/president), your wife is not expected to be pregnant throughout your stay in office.

2. You can't contest for public office while you are occupying a public office. You must resign first before being qualified to contest. For example if you are a president and wants to contest for second term you must resign first. You can't stay in the office and contest.
Taught us that the BLACKS are better than the WHITES.

Lol... Africans especially Nigerians are used to saying such.. If a Nigerian goes to an american university and graduate with first class, you go see as social media go go ablaze saying shìts like we are more intelligent than them when in reality , hundreds of students must have graduated with first class from that same university from different continents and countries around the world. Better than the whites my foot. Even ordinary football wey na rigorous sports that the everyly energetic Africans should conquer na these same whites still dey top us. Without them the world would have been nothing even the phone I deybuse type na them bring the idea yet no African has ever created any tech that will benefit the world. All we do is recycle recycle and recycle. I be black man but sometimes you can't just blame the whites for calling us monkeys.

my PHE master once said, if during a football match,another ball goes into the pitch then stadium would be shut for life.
He also claimed, a slap on someone with eyeglasses on in the face of the law is tantamount to a life in prison

Let me BUTTRESS further.
If it were the WHITE MEN that are in charge of tapping PALMWINE from Palm Trees by now we would have seen a MECHANIZED TAPPING SYSTEM.

U can imagine that after all these YEARS of Turmoil, no BLACK MAN has ever come up with a pulley system to enable people tap PALMWINE.

OLD MEN still use ROPES, suffering and exposing themselves to SPINAL CORD injuries and Paralysis.
Most Men in the VILLAGES are Bedridden today because of such falls.
