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.

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.

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...
