Reasons Why The World Talk Of Nigeria

It's almost impossible not to talk about Nigeria and Nigerians. You meet them any and everywhere.

The most populated black nation in the world. People talk about us for our ground breaking achievements and of course, our unpleasant deeds.

Here are some reasons!

1. It's only in Nigeria leaders will come out to say they have built a world class hospital only to fly to India or the UK for medical treatment, even to check blood sugar level. They never go close to the hospital after commissioning.

2. Nigerians have been heralded as one of the most educated citizens living in foreign countries.

3. A place where every weekend is a celebration; bars filled up, colourful marriage celebrations, clubs filled to the brim, religious services echoing to heaven and even burial's of aged relatives call for a party.

4. A country where leaders continue to convince the youths that "they are the leaders of tomorrow" but the same leader has done all he can to remain in power in one way or another since I was born. Oga, which tomorrow are we talking about? Abi, is tomorrow a name of place?

5. A country that is still at the top of the jollof rice pyramid in West Africa despite our minister of information who's name is undoubtedly Lai Muhammed, claiming it was the Senegalese. Nigerian jollof rice is still the best!

6. A Country recently awarded the poverty capital of the world. And home of the fantastically corrupt leaders. But managed to remain the largest economy in Africa.

7. The church headquarters. Land of miracle workers. Home of rich pastors, poor members.

8. A country where leaders have successfully out maneuvered and enslaved citizens and has kept them begging for a drop of crumbs from their golden dinnings so the masses could continue fighting for their longevity.

9. A country who's citizens have given up on their government and has launched war on survival, battling against every odd, launching businesses to fight hunger and rewrite family histories.

10. A nation who's citizens have all become vigilante, guarding and protecting themselves because the majority of authorities have been bought over by rich political leaders to guard there empty houses, parked cars and sleeping wives and children.

11. A nation where citizens have realized Democracy as a demonstration of madness, a sick system that has giving the majority tribes and the ruling parties power to continue to determine our future in the worst possible way while making it look pretty

12. A nation where after graduating from tertiary institutions the first place graduates go to is to learn hand-work, instead of heading to companies or government offices for interviews.

13. A country where hundred thousand persons apply for hundred available positions in a company wanting to employ qualified personnel. The good news is, they are all qualified for the job. A tough choice for the company, and tough luck for applicants.

14. A country where people work tirelessly to turn stone to bread as a challenge to poverty... say poverty no reach, as a pure Naija blood.

15. A place where every Jane, Grace and mary from some fancy country claimed to have sent their hard earned savings to. And are now working tirelessly with the FBI to get them back after discovering it was a false promise... That's what the world call a romance scam.

16. The only country that could block a government road because of a marriage or a burial ceremony, thereby causing the most dreadful of traffic.

17. The only country in the world where you pay development fee before developing your own land, or constructing a road in a community. One practically pays to develop an undeveloped empty land. We are fast to blame the government but never our individual evil acts.

18. The only country people write “not for sale” and “beware of 419” on their properties. My English friends wouldn't stop making jokes about this at my previous job.

19. A country where a taxi driver carrying crate of eggs is more careful than the one carrying human beings. Life is a rollercoaster

20..A country where the most effective way to convince people to do a thing is to ask them never to do it... and vice versa.

21. A country where one could experience one of the closest relationships within and outside the family. What ever you own is also a property of your close relatives and friends except the person is unfriendly, and he will automatically qualify for the name "wicked man". Most women won't feel comfortable in her husbands house without the blessings of her husband's close relatives.

22. A country where activities like sport, music, marriage, burial and birthday celebrations could unite sworn enemies. No,...not religion, that's where enemity starts.

Oh! no, he didn't commit any Crime, it's a marriage invitation. One of “Only in Nigeria” moments.

I can go on and on....

Why won't the world talk about such a country?

A country where everything is complete.

Our news stations have a big story to tell every day.

On a good day either a Nigerian has done something absolutely beautiful or terribly wrong.

Life is drama down here. A game of thrones!

Fact: Any country you can't find Nigerians is unsafe and not profitable..

History’s Worst Execution Methods: Flaying

History’s Worst Execution Methods: Flaying Flaying — better known as “skinning alive” — has a long and grotesque history. Records of the practice exist as far back as the Neo-Assyrian Empire (beginning in 911 B.C.), but it has cropped up in most civilizations at one time or another, including Medieval Europe (where it tended to be used as a punishment for traitors) and in the ritual human sacrifices made by the Aztecs in Mexico (the Aztecs, at least, are believed to have skinned the body after the sacrifice had been made). Various techniques have been utilized in the many different cultures in which flaying has been employed, but the basis remains the same: Slowly, excruciatingly slicing the skin from the body while keeping the victim alive for as long as possible (and when feasible, removing the skin intact). Rendering Of Flaying Wikimedia Commons Carvings from the Assyrian period show the process beginning with incisions to the thighs or buttocks, while the European method — pictured...

The gruesome story of Robert Pickton, the "Pig Farmer Killer":

the gruesome story of Robert Pickton, the "Pig Farmer Killer": In February 2002, Canadian police raided the property of pig farmer Robert Pickton in search of illegal firearms — and stumbled upon something more horrifying than they could have ever imagined. Scattered across the property were the remains of at least 33 people, most of them sex workers or Indigenous women, and many of them were found inside his pigpens. Investigators soon learned that not only had Pickton murdered dozens of women, but that he'd taken their bodies to a meat rendering plant or ground them up himself and fed them to the pigs.

Man from Windsor has 'record-breaking' kidneys removed

A man has had both his kidneys removed after they enlarged to what surgeons said was "record-breaking" size. Warren Higgs, 54, underwent a two-hour operation to remove the organs weighing 35kg (77lb) in total. The father-of-one, who has polycystic kidney disease (PKD), said his surgeons told him that "in every single way you measure it" he had set a new record with the size of his heaviest kidney. He said the difference in the size of his stomach was "remarkable". Mr Higgs, from Windsor, said his larger right kidney weighed around 15kg (33lb) with an additional 5kg (11b) of fluid on top. The previous heaviest kidney in the world was believed to be a 7.4kg (16.3lb) kidney removed in India. He said: "The surgeon had confirmed it all, and yes we've beaten it [the record] in every single way you measure it. "I've beaten it when you measure it, when you weigh it with the fluid in - and with the fluid taken out. "It's not something I...

How I Missed My Future Husband” – Nigerian Lady (Photo)

I checked in for my flight that cold misty morning… After surviving a break failure… (story for another day) It was drizzling. This raining season must have been heart broken and is taking out its anger on mankind. I wanted to wear something simple, like a very short skirt and sheer top but changed my mind and wore an up and down Ankara peplon top and straight trousers. I even had a Jean jacket in my bag, just incase. The weather ain’t no body’s Friend. After checking in my luggage, I made my way to the departure lounge, with my ticket and ID card in hand. I sat down and brought out my phone to call mum. A few minutes later, I was done with the call. I looked up and saw this guy. Heigod! Usually, I don’t stare at people, no matter how handsome, fine, or gorgeous you are. I look once or twice and look away. Always. But this time, I stared. He had just passed the annoying security check, where you had to remove jewelries and shoes. He wore a black trouser, a light blue polo and a black j...

Hitler had ordered his death in 1944 but Rommel ended up killing himself instead.⁠ Erwin Rommel, a highly decorated German officer during World War 2 humanely treated captured soldiers, ignored order to kill Jews, civilians and conspired to assassinate Hitler.
