15 areas Nigeria is better than America

United States of America may be better than Nigeria in many ways, but there are also areas Nigeria is better than U.S. I have compiled just 15 of them for a start. Read and leave your comment. 1. Intelligence and smartness Nigerians are the most intelligent people in the world. Yes, they are the smartest you find anywhere in the world. However, the problem with intelligent and smart people is that, in anything they do, their intelligence and smartness come to play and others in the same circle hardly match their rare skills. In business, they will be intelligent and smart, in education, they will be intelligent and smart, in music and entertainment, they will be intelligent and smart and also in criminality, they will be intelligent and smart. As we all know, negative stories sells faster than anything else and this explains why Nigerian criminals are also world famous for their craft. Nigerian criminals, particularly the internet scammers are not in any way more dangerous than...

Yarádua's cabal framed my daughter to get at me, kept jonathan in the dark Obasanjo revealed in new book 'my watch''

Obasanjo: Why Yar'Adua's Cabal Tried to Rubbish Me *Accuses Kingibe, Tanimu, Others of Using State Power to 'Settle Personal Scores' *Claims His Daughter Was Framed as Part of Ploy to Cut Him to Size Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has detailed how members of the cabal around his successor, late President Umaru Yar’Adua tried to hound him out of relevance using state resources and how he decided that fighting back may be unwise. In a tell-all, three-part autobiography, which a FCT High Court has stopped Obasanjo from publishing, the former president named then Economic Adviser to Yar’Adua, Dr. Tanimu Yakubu Kurfi and one-time Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Alhaji Baba-Gana Kingibe as the arrowheads of a cabal that tried to rubbish him and his achievements. In the books titled 'My Watch', Obasanjo further named two former governors, Bukola Saraki and James Ibori, as persons who “aided and supported” the duo in their quest to hit back at hi...

5 Things Nigeria is Doing Better than America

-
These are 5 areas that Nigeria is clearly outdoing the US in. 1. Nigeria’s economy is growing five times faster than the US Most people don’t associate “West Africa” and “booming economy”, but despite the global downturn, the region is home to some growth rates that would make Ronald Reagan blush. Right near the top of that list is Nigeria, that with an average growth rate of 8.1%, are experiencing more growth than the US (a pitiful 1.5%), the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan and the entire European Union… combined. 2. Nigeria has stricter anti-piracy laws than the US You read that right. Despite the RIAA, the MPAA, bills like SOPA and PIPA and 40,000 theaters all reminding you before a film of your moral integrity in regards to stealing cars, Nigeria are clearly ahead of America in fighting piracy. Their recent no tolerance laws have reaped some serious results: 26 anti-piracy raids, 6 million pirated works (worth US$5 million) seized and 145 arrests. Also, whereas arrests made ...

Shi’ite Protests: What Really Happened – IMN

The Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) has released a statement on Tuesday explaining the peaceful nature of their protests before operatives of the Nigerian Army interfered by opening fire into its members injuring many people in the process. A senior member of the IMN’s media forum,Shuaibu Musa, said this yesterday during a media interview and he also accused the Federal Government of deceiving the populace by peddling false narratives of the confrontation. He said: “The claims that we are moving around with weapons are unsubstantiated. All the marches we have done previously without army or police interference have always ended up peacefully. The question to ask is: who have we ever attacked? “Let me tell you in Abuja we held a daily sit-out for over a hundred days and nobody was hurt until they (security agents) came and attacked us. “What is confrontational about a group of people that would come out en masse with their children, women and even their disabled to make their...
