They could probably solve all their problems by taxing french fries and hamburgers. They'd have a 'heavily' motivated workforce and the government could pay back its debts...very fast.
And please, don't blame the people. If there is someone at fault, it is the one who is (or was) in power. Mismanagement by them caused this and the only way to get back up is having "true" leaders who are willing to do what they can to bring Nauru forward. Having a proper leader(s) will be a better solution for the long-term than having millions of aids in dollars (which will just be swiped by a corrupted leader). Like they say, "Prevention is better than a cure"
I had lived in Nauru for a long time before. Even as a pure-blood Filipino, It is the home I grew up to know. The first place where I learned and played. The place and reason why I am who I am today. Even though the island was experiencing an economic downturn, I lived my life there happily and with a smile. They were great and loving people. And it even broke my heart to bid the island goodbye as I left for college. What I really want to say is, "Do not judge a book by its cover"
my name is Mário Annuza; I am Brazilian and I am 33 years old. Since I was a child, I love your country ! Admire your music and collect varied coins. Among them, there is one from Nauru ! Hugs from Brazil,
@akkappul HAVE YOU VISITED MY PAGE? WITH OR WITHOUT MONEY WE ARE STILL HAPPY, RUDE ARROGANT ASSHOLE, WE KNEW ABOUT CORRUPTION BUT WHO CARES WE ARE STILL HAPPY AND YOU STILL ASSHOLE YOU DID'T WATCH VIDEO? BAD ADVICE FROM NON NAURUANS I'M STILL HAPPY YOU STILL ASS HOLE.........NAURUANS ALWAYS GIVE THEY NEVER TAKE IT'S IN OUR NATURE,. FIND ME A RUDE NAURUAN AND I DELETE MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL
@deinaoero Apparently, ruddest nation too. Most stupid too, of course. Such a small population, that could live well for centuries, but you are so dumb that you cannot see the corrupt ones in front of your damn nose? lol A nice example of what a country shouldn't be. Economic shit. Ecological shit, and now, shitty nationals that find cool calling an asshole to a foreign.
watching this video just make me ff sick in my stomach.....why people could do such thing to a small island like the nauruan,,,i remember back in the days when lots of people in my island of kosrae used to go to nauru and visit and came back with good thoughts in their mind bout nauru....NAURU U WILL BE IN MY PRAYER...GOD BE WITH THE PEOPLE OF NAURU....GOOD LUCK FROM A BOY IN THE SMALL ISLAND OF KOSRAE....
this country is even more complacent with their misery than america. millions rise up against corrupt governments all over the middle east and europe yet these people cant depose a few government officials on their small island with only 10000~ people? so sad...
@BloodMech21 Well who would arm them, you know? When things on the island are as bad as they are, what country in its right mind would support more instability? For that matter, what profit would there be in overthrow? As you said, Nauru doesn't have many people. Who could do any better at clawing to Nauru's last remaining shreds of wealth?
This was really interesting - but it is now almost 10 years exactly since this film was made. Have the team that made this doc made any updates in this time? It would be interesting 2 c how the situation developed since. What happened to the president - is he still in power? If not, what were the circumstances leading to his downfall? Is the health of the country still deteriorating? I would presume so, as I know they have almost 4 in 5 people obese! Grateful for any feedback or links. Cheers!
What did they do before electricity and paycheck??? Get back to basics and live well, just like they did before modernization robbed them of their heritage and made them wards of the state: fat and hopeless.
@ak0087 your mum will take care of my dick fucker!! we will never be skinny!! we still have heaps of money besides without money we still have heaps of fish birds and pigs like your mum to eat! enjoy struggling for life you mother fucker!
i think maybe the austrilians should take them in or give aid if they go 100% broke they the ones who fucked there island up and based there whole econmy on bird poop.. ..i dont think that would cause any harm..its not alot of people
Naruru is the smallest country in the world..they have used all there resorces and have non left and are now poor..i think the world could learn something from this..like u dont know what u got till its gone
Beleive it or not! Nauru is starting to go back on it's feet and taking one step at a time.
No thanks to those over THERE who doesnt even have a heart just because they think that their country will stand forever cos it is 10 times bigger than Nauru.
Shame on you!
Nauru will shine again, God willing. Not in a bad and show-off way...but in a way you would not expect
Nauru is probably just too small nation to survive. Its like small rural town, but has responsibilities and powers of a nation. If it is doing well that will attract corruption and who is going to stop that in such a small nation where all the people with power can be bought.
@ar4216 I was born and raised in this peaceful island and with the kind of people like you we don't show respect to. There are 14 districts on the island and out of the 14, the people voted 18 members of parliments. From then on, the 18 members voted the president plus the cabinet ministers. 13,000 is the population and with this capacity, nepotism takes it's toll. This practise was implemented by the british and our forefathers and it needs to be amended.
thats too Bad, But it said it has to survive on 44Million a year & it only had 100 Million left.
a little over 2 years. then they say he spent
230,000 on his family that from 100 Million isnt much. But why is there Lack of funding for the Hospitals, health care? where is the other money going?
I'm afraid Nauru won't be able to make it. It depends on Australia for most everything anyways, including military. I mean I wish the best for this state, but I don't have good feelings about it.
i am really sorry for what's going to happen to Nauru in the future :(..it all depends on you..you are the only ones who can do something to stop that corruption
I disagree. These people need to reform their economy and continue living on their island. They deserve to have a nation. You don't just sell your country and leave.
Oz and NZ along with the Brits paid us an out of court settlement of 107 million Australian dollars. Guess what, we used most of that money too. Well how about that.
So you saying that your university is bigger than 21 square kilometres? Wow, I wanna go to your university. Anyway, I bet my maritime exclusion zone is bigger than your country and the countries next to it combine. Cheers.
This is typical of any ex british colonial country once the natural resources have been depleted the british empire leave them for dead their no longer needed so there's nothing new there im afraid!
Its easy for the Australian media to moralise about Nauru. But Nauru wasn't always like this. Two hundred years ago it was doing just fine. All its problems today are attributable to abuses perpetrated by Australia, England and New Zealand. They milked it dry and left it desolate and barren, after first teaching the Nauruans dependency.
Take a good look at the dead reef, the uninhabitable moonscape, the derelict buildings ... that's how a country looks at the end of its economic usefulness.
We reap what we sow. We Nauruans deserved what we got. We elected the MPs because they gave us what we want - money & smooth bullshit talk. We were not interested in educating ourselves nor interested in working hard. We liked to sit & gossip esp. outside the bank to secure easy loans to buy a landrover or go on shopping sprees overseas. We treated the I-Kiribati & Tuvaluan as inferior. The way I see it, we deserve what we got. The only way out, a national repentance to God almighty.
@Dirtbiker1537 and there is 1100americans to 1 nauruan if you do your calculations which you are dumb to do.... there are more fat people in america.... nauru weightlifting world championship came 2nd in china AGAINST china .... 100,000,000 chinese to 1nauruan and you scale us against the world as being fat sheesh.. you guys are idiots!!
then u must be happy.John Howard kept u in nauru for a while but now gave shelter in Australia. then u must be thankful to him. In afghanistan u might not have got this kind of life. Anyway may allah(swt) keep u and ur family happy and in a state of muslim.
It is sad to know that this country was once a wealthiest nation in the world. (I think the second wealthiest nation in the whole world). A sad state of affairs and a sad State.
i may not be micronesian but what that island wealthy were the peoples simple living with a land full of natural resources in other words people were innocent and were unaware of the high lavish lifetstyle they were happy being plain simple farming folk
Thanks bro. I did some research on google. It was phospate rock that made nauru wealthy. Back 30-40 years, it had world's second highest GRP per capita. But now phospate rock is almost finished. Due to corruption and not future planning ,nauruans are no more rich. Their GRP per capita today is 2500+.which is not that great. Sad indeed.
Fascinating. I hope those asking for accountability are able to get answers safely. Sad story of yet another government taking advantage of its people - just like Mugabe.
Yeah, well why the hell can he host the Pacific Islands Forum? Where did he get the money for that grandiose event? Another country should have hosted it, Micronesia maybe?
And how could you have a conscience spend AUD230,000 when your country is bankrupt and from the NPC Trust Fund? I mean the Trust Fund could have easily sustained Nauru. The orginal principal is sooo high a AUD1,000,000,000. 5 percent of a billion is quite high and you only have 13,000 people
so stop judging or critisizing others because we all have our bad sides.. thank God that we are all still alive right now because we are not facing the big Judge yet.. if you want to judge, do it right infront of Him.. I am not on anyone's side but i think it's not right to judge others when no one is perfect and we are all sinners ourselves.. thank God that He even sent His son, Jesus Christ to die for us fools or else we are all in hell by now
jesus was persecuted and the roman empire crucified him. and then some guy wrote in a book that he died for you. do you really believe that?
watch "rivals of jesus", before believing blindly that jesus is the truth. I'm shocked how people are quickly and easly brainwashed (I was one of them).
you do know that science accepts evolution as a fact, right? and there is not even one evidence for creation? so until then, the bible and everything in it is a myth, like greek or egyptian mythology.
Wow! I'm surprised you know that Jesus is persecuted and the roman empire crucified Him. why don't you read the story more?
The people who wrote the book is based on observation on what happened..
ohh wait.. i guess you are another one who actually fall for the hoax of "rivals of Jesus".. and if you think about it again..where is the proof that the movie is real?
Science "accepts" evolution as fact but where is the evidence? just by comparing a chimp and you?
good or bad is really not meant for any of you to judge. In fact, if you think about it.. in EVERY part of the world, there is always the bad side especially among the leaders..but some of them are so "thick skin", they (including the nation) hide it or cover up their bad side.. and start blaming or critisizes others. this is the problem in the world, they don't look at themselves first before they actually say stuff about others.. grow up all you immature fools!.. no one is perfect
Wat if we wer 2 go into your country and film only the failers dat av happend der, no! Wat happns 2 all the otha good fings ur country av worked hard 4? Does the failings of 1 man and whoeva else den affect all dat is still beautiful, Jesus sed to cast da 1st stone if u av no sin, which 1 of u av no sin in ur life or even failed at sumthin that u can cast a stone or even judge anotha?
Der may have been broken hopes n dreams but dat doesn't mean dose fings canot be mended. I fink ppl who dont no our living should eitha bcome our president becoz u guys seem 2 know so much or u close ur mouth n pray dat deze ppl get thru bcoz dey 2 av family n kids to feed n protect

i been for two years in Nauru.i spend a very bad time there on topside camp. but love all of you Nauru poepol your kind and nice wish you all the best.afghan refugee.
We wont dwell on the issues conveyed in the clip. As a future of Nauru we will look to strategies that will help recover our island's economy and fight to regain our pride. I bet corruption happens in all countries not just in Nauru...
OMG how can you say that Nauru is not that bad,and that the clip is biased? You must be living on top of the pinnacles or your a refugee thats still bothered to stay there. Nauru use to be a beautiful paradise, people were well off, everyone was happy. Food and Money was plentiful. This video clip tells the world the truth. Now the island is ruined, and has nothing except a huge debt. Its all very well blaming NZ, OZ and anyone else, but the real person to blame was their own President.
They could probably solve all their problems by taxing french fries and hamburgers. They'd have a 'heavily' motivated workforce and the government could pay back its debts...very fast.

It is sad to know that this country was once a wealthiest nation in the world. (I think the second wealthiest nation in the whole world). A sad state of affairs and a sad State.

Thanks bro. I did some research on google. It was phospate rock that made nauru wealthy. Back 30-40 years, it had world's second highest GRP per capita. But now phospate rock is almost finished. Due to corruption and not future planning ,nauruans are no more rich. Their GRP per capita today is 2500+.which is not that great. Sad indeed.

Fascinating. I hope those asking for accountability are able to get answers safely. Sad story of yet another government taking advantage of its people - just like Mugabe.

how can i get to nauru from los angeles in the united states. los angeles is on the west coast of the u.s--in southern california to be exact.

best bet is to fly to new zealand and you can connect from there to islands in the south pacific.

You can fly from Brisbane, Australia (with a layover in the Solomon Islands). You will need a visa.

Yeah, well why the hell can he host the Pacific Islands Forum? Where did he get the money for that grandiose event? Another country should have hosted it, Micronesia maybe?
And how could you have a conscience spend AUD230,000 when your country is bankrupt and from the NPC Trust Fund? I mean the Trust Fund could have easily sustained Nauru. The orginal principal is sooo high a AUD1,000,000,000. 5 percent of a billion is quite high and you only have 13,000 people

so stop judging or critisizing others because we all have our bad sides.. thank God that we are all still alive right now because we are not facing the big Judge yet.. if you want to judge, do it right infront of Him.. I am not on anyone's side but i think it's not right to judge others when no one is perfect and we are all sinners ourselves.. thank God that He even sent His son, Jesus Christ to die for us fools or else we are all in hell by now

jesus was persecuted and the roman empire crucified him. and then some guy wrote in a book that he died for you. do you really believe that?
watch "rivals of jesus", before believing blindly that jesus is the truth. I'm shocked how people are quickly and easly brainwashed (I was one of them).
you do know that science accepts evolution as a fact, right? and there is not even one evidence for creation? so until then, the bible and everything in it is a myth, like greek or egyptian mythology.
wonderfulskirt 3 years ago
Wow! I'm surprised you know that Jesus is persecuted and the roman empire crucified Him. why don't you read the story more?
The people who wrote the book is based on observation on what happened..
ohh wait.. i guess you are another one who actually fall for the hoax of "rivals of Jesus".. and if you think about it again..where is the proof that the movie is real?
Science "accepts" evolution as fact but where is the evidence? just by comparing a chimp and you?

good or bad is really not meant for any of you to judge. In fact, if you think about it.. in EVERY part of the world, there is always the bad side especially among the leaders..but some of them are so "thick skin", they (including the nation) hide it or cover up their bad side.. and start blaming or critisizes others. this is the problem in the world, they don't look at themselves first before they actually say stuff about others.. grow up all you immature fools!.. no one is perfect

We wont dwell on the issues conveyed in the clip. As a future of Nauru we will look to strategies that will help recover our island's economy and fight to regain our pride. I bet corruption happens in all countries not just in Nauru...

OMG how can you say that Nauru is not that bad,and that the clip is biased? You must be living on top of the pinnacles or your a refugee thats still bothered to stay there. Nauru use to be a beautiful paradise, people were well off, everyone was happy. Food and Money was plentiful. This video clip tells the world the truth. Now the island is ruined, and has nothing except a huge debt. Its all very well blaming NZ, OZ and anyone else, but the real person to blame was their own President.
