Democracy Versus Tradition - Nigeria

[ukusapillage]

the way blacks blame everything on whites even though theres no whites there is laughable rssss

[ukusapillage]

another black failed state... surprise surprise

[Omilaje]

@aljood1981 As you claim that the "white" people are dividing and ruling you, then something must be wrong with you "black" people.

[oIuwalogbon58]

democracy lol good 1 guys but 9ja has never been democratic and never will be we lack the brain power to build a prosperous society based on democratic ideals and values

[londoners100]

nigeria is a banana republic....

[amatyable]

The corrupt leader were allowed ibe the nations because of sabotage. If the oil is refined in this country, these thing will not happen. The western countries had non of some of these in nigeria yet their homes are developed. Are nigerians not fools? The hausa are inteligent that was why i think they are supported to claim the thing which is supposed to be yours and they are ready to overthrow any one who tries to go across their interest. Who has the hausas and the yourubas?

[michaeljureidini]

Hey guys, look up and buy the book forces of changing traditions by andrew beckford. It is good I think. You may see some similarities of what happen in the United Kingdom to what is happening in your country. It is a novel that looks on race, class and changes of society. Google it or youtube it. It is good.

[umudda]

this poor nations is based on coruption and the western world left a stain of disintegration among the people of nigeria since the land was unevenly divided from colonial time with the north being the largest part of the country. The many different ethnic groups leads ethnic loyalty and further leader to disintegration throughout the nation. The military also rules the country since they can overthrow any gov't that is in power at the time.... this is so sad :(

[jjkooj]

Nigerians are not suffering.They are just not doing what they are supposed to be doing.HUMAN SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS otherwise called obeying the law of the land and pulling down any CORRUPT leader.

[smjgfv62]

u knw wat "western world" is actually d cause of all dis division...dis people were forcefully joined together...dey speak different languages n bliv different things...n d Nigerian leaders r not even concerned disappointingly.

People here bashing each other dats not even gonna help situations...pls Nigerians enough is enough...even a communist govt is almost beta....

dis is very painful 2 watch...foolish white man tryna talk like he knws wat Nigeria is all about mehn mind ur own business!

[xikidi]

Evil country

[kidwale]

it's not all parts of nigeria that is evil. its because the media just show the bad side of nigeriaa. you should do a research on ilorin or ask people about my state

[tweenthyfourseventow]

biafra is our demand from the british .not  from the lost minded animals who worship their own fellow animals.legions of ignorant,corrupt emir. BIAFRA WILL SURELY BE A REALITY.

[olojulagbari]

Sorry to have said Nigerians.Only those who are rulling us are corrupt.Lazy,brainless and disgusting to me.They only love money and not us

[reddevilKorea]

they are still monkeys

many african r starving but

they have many many children

[pinnacare1]

that,s all people like you can offer....Brainless buffon passing the buck at the earliest opportunity. Shameful

[pinnacare1]

referring to the coment from delminus1

[pinnacare1]

You lot are moaning about Nigeria wealth going to the North and foreign Firms, What are you doing about it?? Get your asses up and your brains and start doing something about it!! All talk no do!!

[delminus1]

thank you my brother!

[olojulagbari]

@Dipo84. We must face the truth and reality.

Sunny ade sang "The truth is bitter"

Bitter for the wicked ones.

[olojulagbari]

Nigerians are disgusting.Brainless individuals,Lazy but want money at all cost.

[dipo84]

aint u nigerian? bringing ur people down.

[Ajaniogun]

Whatever happened to the exportation of cocoa, Iron ore and cotton?. Why is oil the sole source of income for this once proud country?

[sexymalcom1970]

kick out the oil companies and multinationals and nigeria will have peace, go on delta boys get rid of those thieving foreigners

[polygamous1]

how can they? them foreign companies are backed by foreign militaries every country that is exploited IF they dare fight back they are branded as terrorist in the western "free" press n the inevitable always happens he west sends in its military to "restore order" against modern armies them freedom fighters have No chance look at Congo OVER 5 million dead NOT even a word said in the BS that is Free western news now i know NO GOD no peace freedom n jusice "wealth" belongs to the elitist

[sexymalcom1970]

your right. The sad reality is that oil is key to most problems in nigeria, if the oil companies where not there then peace would ensure. Military means is not the only way to kick out these companies, whats needed is a national campaign against unfair practices etc

[CamAtheist]

Nigeria is the least civilized and least enlightened part of the least civilied and least enlightened part of the planet, need we say more....

[aljood1981]

see it

they are showing us,the darkest part of africa and nigeria,,,,,,,,,,,,,and at the same time supporting devisions

i will make it clearer

1: they showed a brighter part of christainity

2: mispresented and showed darkest side of the north (muslim dominated area)

3: they alwys wanna keep us devided as to have a chance to steal our wealth

4: they sing d song that we are blacks corrupted and so...........

[CamAtheist]

hahaha..you mujees are funny..it is the reality.. you remind me of my ex. she thought that everything was good because she was a rich Lagos girl. There are millions of people in Nigeria who suffer really badly because of the curruption, get real, its better the world knows and can support the cause of equity for those who are poorer in Nigeria. How has religion, Christianity or Islam helped Africa, if anything it has further dumbed the continent, what has God done to deserve praise from Nigeria?

[Omilaje]

@aljood1981 I do not know how you come about your analysis. I have to say that it is the dumbest thing to say. And those people thumbing you up are equally as daft as yourself. Do you want to say the report is false? Your "wealth" that is "supposedly" being stolen, who are those stealing it? Are you telling me and the whole world that the "Oyinbos" are not paying for it? Common "black" man, use your sense.

[aljood1981]

what a suprise?

white men work harder to keep us devided and fighting each other,,,,,,,,,,

the supply people with weapons to kill each other

they need oil

to keep their citizens happy,

here they backed terrorists,killing people in the name of churches and musques

[Olatunje]

Does this shit have to go on forever?

[supergunman64]

i hope that you all realise the truth about the christians one day get them oil thieves up out of your country... allahu akbar

[CamAtheist]

mujee, are not the Muslims of Northern Sudan killing other Muslims over OIL? supergunman? Mujee you are a good example of why Islam has gotten a bad name...rediculous. The north remains extremely backward largely because Islam is there and they wish to 'steal' the same oil they would accuse others of stealing, do they not. Nigeria= Land of thieves. No hope for that country when the best minds and leaders are all scoundrels and mujees.

[akellany]

u are a lunatic that needs to feed on groundnut n nothing but that

[Biafrans7]

Under Sharia Law, Islamic religion, government and law are one. Islam does not accept a secular Constitution which requires the separation of State and religion( meaning that one does n't have to run the other) unlike Judaism and Christianity.

[akellany]

Sharia is also bullshit

[addan76]

democracy is a white man religion so i dont think is good to other humans" WHAT???

hi man i said trout but you can't understand becouse u are blackman and backman ont now what is going on this world

so white man religion will com agian and slave u people

[akellany]

Democrazy is the best thing that could ever happen to the entire human race not just the white alone...what is being run in Nigerian right now is no democrazy just the demostration of madness..or how can any one explain the fact that some1 as foolish as yardua being the president of this God forsaken country.

[addan76]

you are a lier mabe uncletoms

[addan76]

democracy is a white man religion

so i dont think is good to other humans

[Equinox21Studios]

"democracy is a white man religion

so i dont think is good to other humans"

WHAT???

[apologiamixer]

Isa Akbar. See "Mahound dog" on youtube

[javicrane]

deep down, i do not believe in giving powers to those so called traditional chiefs, because many of them do abuse these powers..the problem in Nigeria is the politicians.. The government DOES make Money available for projects, but by the time the money arrives, it has been divided into the pockets of greedy local politicians.. Everyone here does know that people go into NIGERIAN POLITICS Because thats the quickest way to riches.... I STAND UP FOR REVOLUTION.... FREE THE DELTA.....

[sexymalcom1970]

Stop praying and start fighting for your rights.

"Nigeria as it is today is not a nation. We did not think that just because the British created it this way, we were all bound by it." ---- Anthony Enahoro. Nigerian Nationalist. This Day Newspapers. Saturday September 27, 2008.

[akellany]

The only solution to Nigeria problem is Biafra any other thing is bullshit...e g Obasanjo can come n steal the money generated in Lagos if he is up to the task.The idiot can not even walk the streets of Lagos while he was the president.Yardua is a retard that should never live.

[tola419]

We keep say we do not mix religion with politics but it has started very soon government would start taxing them

[tweenthyfourseventow]

bro ,lets find a solution to solve nigerias problems ,i dont realy mean to curse at you,my hommie,my bad.

[tweenthyfourseventow]

yo was up oroge,yo, you my country people.

[fayahsoul]

Fuck the bible/koran, grab your guns and pick the right target!!

[fmgi]

Nigerians are beginning to see that President YAR`ADUA with all his seeming humble demeanor MAY PRESIDE OVER OUR NIGERIA FOR ALL HIS YEARS without achieving the much needed RESULTS TO BETTER THE LOTS OF ALL NIGERIANS.

THIS IS BECAUSE MORE THAN GOOD INTENTIONS ARE NEEDED TO SOLVE THE MESS WHICH PRESENTLY EXISTS IN OUR NIGERIA.

I INVITE EVERY CONCERNED NIGERIAN TO READ MY "Blueprint for A STABLE, SUCCESSFUL and PROSPEROUS GOVERNANCE IN NIGERIA". If you cant find it where you live CONTACT me.

[Killayut]

Emirs, obas and what ever traditional rulers shouldnt be allowed any place in the modern governmental system of Nigeria... they use the NIGER DELTA MONEY TO ENRICH  their emir and oba stools.. THIEVES.

[topgear213]

NIgerians are jst idiots

[oroge]

fuck you.

[tweenthyfourseventow]

you fool live in britain dont even know how to write english sentences,yoooo greatest dummy of all time,you wanna defend nigeria hausa government oligarchy,slowest in the human history,fuck you too,blind folks.i would never wanna be like u r people,nigeria is raggdy and dirty,not a dream place,ugili faces.

[oroge]

exactly how did you come to the conclussion i can't speak english?

for someone who misspells raggedy that's a bit cheeky.

[fmgi]

All Nigerians should read my "BLUEPRINT FOR A STABLE, SUCCESSFUL and PROSPEROUS GOVERNANCE IN NIGERIA".

This work details the root of Nigeria`s present problems and Solutions to them. Why the thirty-six states of Nigeria should be reduced to four (ONLY). Yes; Nigeria needs only four governors(not thirty-six embezzlers). The Blueprint marshalls A System of SUCCESSFUL Governance SPECIFIC TO NIGERIA inculcating the democratic ideals of human rights/respect for individual freedom and life.

[ikennaq2]

Fmgi, I think you're really unto something that most Nigerians unfortunately does not seem to grasp. I truly believe that you're one of the rear finds in Nigeria in the sense that you think more dipper than an average Nigeria, including the once that love to parade themselves as masters in Western Education but fools in their own culture and its relevance to Nigerian sustainability or African for that matter.

Pls I did love to read you " Blueprint" for Nigeria.

[fmgi]

ikennaq2, with citizens like yourself THERE IS STILL CHANCE FOR OUR COUNTRY TO OVERCOME the wickedness that is presently going on in our country Nigeria all in the name of Governance. This Wickedness has rendered our RICH Nation FALLOW and made us a laughing stock all over the world. INSURMOUNTABLE AS THE PRESENT CONDITIONS IN NIGERIA MAY SEEM, the truth is that the situations are not insurmountable or even deeply complex as it seems. A well-meaning governance can change things within 6 months.

[fmgi]

Demoncrazy is not a system of government suited for Nigeria. Nigerian leadership as products of Nigerian culture are not equipped with democratic traits to manage and govern the resources of Nigeria to benefit all Nigerians. This is why the system of GOVERNANCE WHICH THESE LEADERS OPERATE IN is important for successful governance. THAT SYSTEM CAN NEVER BE EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY. Democratic ideals? YES. BUT NOT EUROPEAN DEMOCRAZY TO PERFECT THE MESS IN NIGERIA; IT WILL NEVER WORK.

[drazdikjr]

If I were a political scientist for the new temple of the Mormon Church of Later Day Saints in Nigeria; How to make sense of this? News and Politics: Envirnomental Polution, Threat to Public Health of Indigenous People, Economic Accountability of Government. Is this situation different from Ecuador, Boliva, and other South American Countries?

[albaqaahuna]

very sad.. I have met so many intelligent and hard-working Nigerians living outside Nigeria. It is sad to see a country with so many resources treating people so unjustly.

[ogedola]

Nigerians with a stroke can deliver themselves from oppression...but pervasive greed blind most of them...

[ogedola]

Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders they have.

[maceike]

Please expand. Why do u think they deserve corrupt, selfish leaders?
