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...
Former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has insinuated that Patience Jonathan, wife of the president, Diezani Alison-Madueke, Petroleum Minister, Stella Oduah, former Aviation Minister and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Finance Minister are all ‘Presidents’ of Nigeria, noting that Goodluck Jonathan comes behind the quartet and is the weakest of them all. Extracts from the three-volume autobiography of Obasanjo, titled, “My Watch” revealed how critical he is of Jonathan’s administration. “Five presidents in Nigeria, these were his wife, Diezani, Oduah, Ngozi, Goodluck Jonathan and that he was the weakest of the five,” Obasanjo wrote in ‘My Watch’. Photo: SaharaReporters Photo: SaharaReporters Obasanjo also said Jonathan is incapable of governing well because he is selfish, weak-willed, callous and incapable of rising to the challenges of running a complex country like Nigeria. According to SaharaReporters, an attempt by Buruji Kashamu, a senatorial aspirant on the platform of...

Agenda For Peace With Hamzat: 2015 Election - Hold Jonathan, Buhari Responsible For Any Bloodshed Written by Abdulrazaq O Hamzat (Mr Rights) The 2015 election is around the corner and threats of war, attack and counter attack by supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan and General Muhammadu Buhari is being allowed to litter Nigeria’s political space without caution. It was and still on record, that supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan such as Asari Dokubo, Niger Delta Militants and others have been threatening to unleash miam on the country should the president loose the 2015 election. These open threats by supporters of the president were and still never cautioned by the president, neither did his party (PDP) or any security agency caution the war mongers. Indirectly, it seems the president and all security agencies agree with those making the threats on behave of the president. Although, president Jonathan says his ambition doesn’t worth the live of any Nigerian, but h...
1985, Three young men , Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) were taken to bar-beach. Those days that was the place where condemned criminals faced the firing squad. What was the offence of these three young men you might ask?.They had been found guilty of drug trafficking. Death penalty for drug traffickers was a decree that the Buhari/Idiagbon military junta introduced after they had seized power from Shagari. There was public outcry,people pleaded for their lives to be spared. International organisations jointly called for the halt in their execution but to no avail. Buhari insisted that discipline must be instilled! death was the way? That faithful morning they were led with their hands and legs bound. Eye witnesses say when they were tied to the spot in which they were to be shot,the three of them started singing. They sang a religious song that made the excited onlookers cry. As the bullets ripped through their body,hitting vital organs and thei...
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...
It’s very difficult to speak to a lot of people without offending someone. People walk around with their feelings on their shoulders waiting for you to say something. Opinion police are out there all the time. We have actually reached the point where people are afraid to actually talk about what they want to say because somebody might be offended. I am reminded of a very successful business man who loves to buy his mother these exotic gifts for mother’s day. One year, he ran out of ideas on what to buy and then, he ran across these birds. These birds were cool, you know? They cost $5000 apiece. They could dance, they could sing, they could talk! He was so excited, he bought two of them. Sent them to his mother and couldn’t wait to call her up on mothers day, ‘’mother, mother, what’d you think of those birds?’’ And she said, ‘’they was good.’. He said, No, no, no, mother, you didn’t eat those birds? Those birds cost $5000 apiece. They could dance, they could sing, they could talk!...
