shymmex: This the topic Nigerians at home and in the diaspora should have a discourse about. Let's leave countries we have no stake in alone, and focus on our continent.. Obviously, South Africa is more developed because of the oyinbos there! Our time will come eventually. You can't force development on a people; they have to grow into it and adapt it to suit their style. On the other hand, you can't stop a once developed country from sliding into decline. Take Greece for example, once the most developed in the world and has been declining for decades. The Euro debacle is just the latest stage in it's slow painful decline. Throughout history, civilization and learning has been foistered onto peoples through colonization and being conquered. Egyptians on Greeks, Greeks on Romans, Romans on British, British on West Africans etc. Unfortunately, the Romans only came down as far as Libya centuries ago. Mosquitoes and Tse tse flies must have impeded them. If they had succeeded in reaching west africa, then the story most likely would have been different. Anyways, the british came to us and all we need to do is remain in Nigeria and dig it out, rather than seeking easy money abraod. |

From my personal experience, the pretty girls who are vain etc., are the ones who've been pretty right from when they were little and maintained or even improved in adulthood. They are the type when told they are pretty will so "I know". On the other hand, you have the late bloomers. The ones who were ordinary as kids then suddenly bloomed in their mid to late teens. They look really fyyyynne, but inside they're still ordinary. Sometimes they wonder what the fuss is all about them being pretty. Such girls are generally nicer and more homely. 1 Like |

From the comments I see on NL, its very easy to see why Nigeria has the type of leaders we have. A people deserve the leadership they get. Nigerians are the indeed very vile, evil, selfish, unpleasant and wicked people. Never will you come across such blind, unwarranted and unprovoked pure undiluted hatred, as is displayed on a daily basis. It's almost subhuman. God forbid!

OK. I'm not a GEJ hater, but I place all this squarely at his feet. Like WTF!! Does this man really understand what's going on in the security forces? Why do we still have an acting IG, and why is he who he is? At this rate, if GEJ doesn't sit up, they'll be parading him on camera and in handcuffs as a suicide bomber!

bittyend: Ok, this bittyend guy is a joke and a straight time-wasting Igbo hater, so nothing reasonable can come from him. It looks like you've got a huge hard-on for Igbos so much that once you hear the word 'Igbo' (or the sekzy accent ![]() I've got a solution for you. Grab a large tub of vasiline and,... wait for it... Igbo, Igbo, Igbo, Igbo, Igbo, Igbo, Igbo, Igbo. Oya, u know what to do with the vasiline. That's my good deed for the day. I'm outta here ![]() |

bittyend: Omo you need to slow down o! Or cant u read properly. U r so deeply biased that you cant even read straight again. I bet you're even foaming in the mouth as u type. Let me repeat myself bwouy so that mans like u can understand. There are two NIGERIANs involved in the singel (1) Tinie Tempah who was featured and (2) Nneka whose song was sampled. Let me know if u r still confused. Also please note the operative word, NIGERIANs |

bittyend: ...And that's my point here!! What's wrong with a NIGERIAN riding on a NIGERIAN's tail to move 4ward? Can't u get that into your thick biased skull ![]() |

bittyend: Really son! What's Dizzy's real name then?? Go sleep jare, Dizzy is Ghanaian, if anything. There you go again dropping these strange names, who in phucks name is Danny Shittu? Skepta needs to ' the mic', he's trying too hard. He's done grime, hip hop, pop everything and he's just barely hanging in there. He's big in Tottenham though ![]() |

Mr. Globe: As we type, there are two Nigerians involved in the current UK no.1 single, Rita Ora ft Tinie Tempah - R.I.P. The song contains a sample from Nneka's song 'Heart Beat' and Tinie Tempah is Nigerian. |

bittyend: You must have your head stuck deep in your nether regions. Your depraved bias can't even let you think straight. I gave a list of other NIGERIAN's who have made a mark musically abroad and your are telling me that Shirley bassey's dad is efik! Of course he's efik. Are you well at all?? Dude, Tinie Tempah and "Old man" Skepta are not on the same level at all. Tempah's had about 6 numbers 1's (solos and features) in the UK. What has Skepta done? Dizzie rascal aint Nigerian Period. What level is Asa on? Please don't make me laff here! Chamillioniare - that washed out has been!!! And who the Phuck is Dele ![]() |

hectorswag: the new record label is called Def Jam Africa. Formed by Dbanj himself! If it's "Def Jam" Africa, then it has to be a subsidiary of Def Jam USA. From the way Dbanj was talking in that his infamous six- |

bittyend: Why all the hate? Someone is trying to break the ceiling, and make afrobeats bigger, yet you guys want to hate him because he isn't from your tribe.. Must everything be about tribe?? If Don Jazzy made D'banj, let him make another D'banj, simples... Only time will tell if he can make another one because people love D'banj not only because of his music, but because of who D'banj is.. Never knew that Majek Fashek was yoruba ![]() |

This one is definitely a grower. By the time its finished, and if its released, it'll be played over & over & over & over again until it drives you mad or you accept it in defeat. Add to that the countless kokolets who will be rushing to the dance floor each time its played - tell me which dj doesn't want a packed floor? Thats music biz for you!

babsjnr: Afro beat is getting there. The british community are really into afro beat music now... uk radio &tv station, white or blacks clubs play afro beat even jamaican love afro beat. Big up to dj tim westwood white geezer promoting black music And rightly so, which makes a stunt like this absolutely ridiculous!!! |

~Bluetooth: I always feel good bro. So what has don jazzy's area of origin have to do with people criticizing him on nairaland? Do you really believe that everybody thinks like you? 1 Like |

grafikii: Congrats Bro While I acknowledge the fact that it's not easy to be No.1 in any chart (even if its groundnut seller’s compilation charts), why mislead nairalanders by posting an obscure chart from shazam (Shazam New Release Chart UK) and presenting it as an official UK urban chart? I personally want to believe that Dbanj is too clever to want to be associated with such a desperate poorly thought out stunt that has resulting in animals like Bluetooth cussing Ibo's for nothing! |

grafikii: Congrats Bro Actually, what chart is this? |

~Bluetooth: What has Ibo got to do with all this? So anybody who criticizes dbanj is Ibo? What type of warped thinking is this? If you are not getting paid for this (through increased traffic on nairaland due to tribal bashing), then you must be a very sick and depraved person. If I was Dbanj, I will be distancing myself from such a distasteful frustrated person as you obviously are. Well done Dbanj - Osinanwata buru ogaranya 1 of Amafor Ishingwu!! (Oya bluetooth, go and hang yourself!) |

I'm afraid this topic is a bit of a red herring! It's simply a case of Nigerians wanting to buy quality products at decent prices. I've seen people coming to shop in London with budgets ranging from a few hundred pounds to hundreds of thousands of pounds. They want a good deal and want to be sure of what they are buying. Apparently, these things are way overpriced in Nigeria ( where they are available & quality can be guaranteed ). If every American who wanted to buy quality products had to come to London, then they'll probably be outshopping Nigerians 100-1! |

obo_man: The first reason I'm gonna give is climate.. Yes differences in climate could be the reason why africa is backward. Is it a coincidence that most of the most developed and innovative countries are temperate regions of the earth? I'll also have to disagree with you here too. The Indian sub-continent is also very hot, and in some areas, even hotter than places in West Africa. They were however, still able to come up with a form of writing and counting, and also make some very reasonable forages into philosophy and medicine before the white man arrived there. I strongly believe that it is the negative aspects of our culture that has held us down throughout our history and is still affecting us now. |

OzReal: I have to disagree disagree with u here as u are missing the point entirely. Don't u understand that is this deficient culture that kept us in such a state that, when the white man came, we were practically defenseless? Didn't we appear on this earth before them? So how come they were so ahead of us when they came that they took us so easily and cheaply? Or are u trying to say that they are naturally more intelligent than us? 1 Like 1 Share |
