YOU KNOW YOU ARE REALY LUCKY I WASNT THE ONE TO MAKE A TOAST TO YOU
I WOULD HAVE RATHER ONE OF YOUR FINGERS CUT OFF BEFORE YOU STAERTED CHATTING RUBISH
DONT WORRY GUY WILL ARE ALL THE SAME AIRLORD FOREVER

Hmmm! I fear ooo!
You be d guy?

another evidence of the black man's inability to run a country. Sad

I really do not agree with you!This is your personal opinion and please do not make it a theory!
Many black men might've failed in the past but that is not enough reason to generalise failure.
Nelson Mandela ruled,and he ruled successfully!

Ok, what can you say about the popular Bush;how better has he made the US ever since he took
over from W. Clinton?
just try compare the value of USD in both era.

Am not making excuses on behalf of the unscrupulous ones that had failed us,but my point is that
the "cause" of the failure should rather
be analyzed instead of being stereotyped by it, to avoid it recurrence.
Most of the African Presidents had failed,just because of their greed,some,
inferiority complex when
negotiating deals with the white,some pride,some lack of relevant education,most of them lack of insight etc
We are the leaders of tomorrow!
And I do agree with this post:

Nigerians ought to think good thoughts about our country. You are what you think you are!

Bible says: As A man thinketh so he is!Pro 23.7
Even "if" the older generation has failed us, the moment we get stereotyped , that a black man cannot rule
a country, then we're locked in that mentality
and it'll make things more difficult for us.
But if we try analyze the causes of their failure,and believe we can fix it, I promise you , we'll achieve it
(though it may take some extra hard work and time!)
Back to the issue at hand,am a student here in Cape Town.And I can tell you that Mbeki is not a bad leader,t
hough he made a mistake!
At least he came to the public to APOLOGIZED that indeed he got it wrong on the power issue but a serious
planning has been done to get it rectified!
(how many presidents would do that?not many ;has Bush apologized to the Americans about the Iraqi war?because am sure he hasn't found the weapons of mass destruction !)
Mind you,power outage in South Africa is not the same as that of Nigeria.Most of the times the outage last for 10 -15mins and rare occasions 4hrs(and that approximately 2 times in a month);And most of the time they announce it before it happens,some times ago the govt representative gave out gas stove to people in the townships here in CT because there was going to be outage for few days(then they were fixing the Nuclear Power station in Melkbos,Cape Town)based on what've seen and heard so far.
The public reaction is so fierce, because this people are not used to it! And another reason is that almost every infrastructure is dependent on electricity eg the train,the businesses,traffic lights,the security gates,many many more.
Am always proud to be a Nigerian,and am on journey to equip my self on how to make my country the best place in the world!
So let's not say a black man cannot rule a country, because I believe the best president in the world in years to come will be one of us(Nigerians)
provided we believe.
God Bless Nigeria!

A person who makes no mistakes, generally makes nothing.

was that a mistake ?

As far as am concern,the nations' cup as just ended!

I love my DEAR country, but with their performance so far!
I'll only advise anyone not to expect much from the match
if we win -fine,if not, still kind of fine
because we can reap what we haven't laboured to sowed.
Good luck !
