this woman u are talking shit, if u live in america or u are american why are u still there if the land is dead, if u are a white lady i know u will never live in nigeria, u are just making mouth and ur husband has being feeding u with crap. u people will never call a spade a spade. naija land is good but not yet developed, until u people tell urself the truth naija will never be good. how can u open ur mouth and say the US land is dead yet the highest quantity of rice and oats we consume in naija comes from there, the highest quantity of automobiles comes from there, should i go on? all the okrika for poor masses in naija come from the US, all the software used in all computers worldwide come from there. infact i have a lot to say but let me leave it, so dont deceive us we've been there before ok.

you seam to have an unreal opinion of America's superiority, and it's peoples arrogance. the truth is somewhere in the middle. don't be blinded by what you hear. people are individuals, so don't group me with the abundant A*#Ss in this country or assume that I lie because I'm American. I have spent my life defending your people, and African American's. (some of which are also A*#Ss)

My husband and i are still here because:
1 we not rich, so don't have the money yet to move permanently to Nigeria
2 Moruf is concerned about the safely issues there
3 Moruf's career in football is better followed here.
4 my career as an electrician is here, but can be adjusted.

why would you say I will never live in Nigeria? do you think ALL Americans are arrogant A*#Ss? I suppose you do, but you would be wrong. there are good and bad people everywhere, including Nigeria. and I WILL live there, regardless if you personally believe me or not, your opinion is not my concern.

my husband and i have never lied to each other (or fed me shit of any sort), and everyone has their own views regardless if you happen to agree with ours or not.

the people here in America are both good and bad as anywhere, and I don't know what the hell you meant by calling a spade a spade, in this country that word is horrible, and insulting to all people of African decent, and I would punch a person for saying it.

what truth in your opinion do we need to tell ourselves for Nigeria to be good?

I can open my mouth and say that the US land is dead because in this country, the major food producers don't give a damn about sustainable farming, or returning life to the soil, so that it grows good clean organic food that God provided. They just plant huge crops of genetically altered seeds, and fertilize them with toxic chemicals that make the crops grow unnatural. and so the soil can not grow anything without them anymore. it's dead. and this is widespread in America. it takes real work to find good clean organic food, like you have the honor of having at every market on the street.

and I'm truly sorry that this shit they call food, is imported to your country, you would be better off with your own garden.

Is it cheaper for you to buy there then food grown in your own country? If so then perhaps you should as yourself WHY. if it had to be grown, packaged and shipped all that way shouldn't it be more expensive?

the fact is that plants consume what is available in their environment for their growth. and if all they are given is toxic chemicals and pesticides, then THAT is what they are full of. not good healthy nutrition as God intended and I'm sorry you are subjected to it. you are filling your body with chemicals that are making you sick, or will. why do you think Americans are so unhealthy?? we're the sickest people on this planet. and for that reason, and our excuse for health care just makes people take more drugs to hide the symptoms of their sickness and make it worse.

I work overtime providing actual good clean food for our family, because Moruf's and our childrens health is of most importance to me. His success in football is directly associated with his health. THAT is why i want to go live there.  but until our careers are done, it will probably only be part time

as for the automobiles, China's and the UK's and Germany's are much more gas economical and better quality. Some American auto's are excellent quality, but are horrible gas hogs. I personally prefer Jeeps. and they have nothing to do with food quality.
neither does our computer products that ARE excellent quality.

what is beautiful in ur country u pple ar jst fools yet u ar suffrin pretendin as  if u ar enjoyin fooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll'ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Please Deedotted, Just because Nigeria is struggling right now does not mean she is not beautiful The people are holding their heads High and being strong in an uncertain time, and Nigeria will grow past this. Even America had very long times of internal struggle with our own civil wars. We got past it, and so will Nigeria. they are NOT fools for having Faith in their country and the ability's of their people! and the land of Nigeria is VERY Beautiful! and also largely unspoiled, unlike America who's ground is dead and wont grow good food for it's people. As the Extremely happy wife of a Nigerian, we plan to return and buy property and live there because of it's beauty and unspoiled nature. I think YOU are being the fool for having lost faith in your country's ability's

News stories all over the world unfortunately have a habit of focusing on the shocking things that happen everywhere, not just in 9ja. http://www.fbi.gov/news/fieldnews corruption everywhere! i wish this man would give news stories of the abundant beautiful things and stories in 9ja, not just the bad things. perhaps some of you are good enough with a cam to do this? I would certainly love to see them. President Goodluck Johnathan has his work cut out for him fixing the corruption, and I pray every day that he is successful!  EVERYONE must do their part to assist, so that the BBC one day has no dirty stories like this to air.

yes I agree, that is shameful in a country where the people struggle to eat! President Goodluck, give every Nigerian 10,000.N for the celebration instead of all that rubbish! guaranteed happy party then!

I agree, that all people should have positive ID, that way when they commit a crime, they are identified, and can not hide.

also every Nigerian needs to put aside tribal hatred, and get along. stop the fighting. only then when you have a safe country for the tourists to come to, will they come and spend their money. Nigeria is such a wonderful and beautiful country with many things that would attract rich tourists. like the ocean, fishing and diving, hunting, safari's, shopping, the wonderful diverse food, and rich history and culture. if we could only stop fighting and get along, we would all thrive.

Also we must stand up to our leaders and make them accountable for their corruption. kick the corrupt ones out and elect good leaders. I believe Johnathon Goodluck is a good step in the right direction, he's doing all he can, it's up to us to help him!

OH God protect them!  what horrible Barbaric practices!  :'( don't they know that does nothing to stop them from growing?? it only burns and injures them! haven't they hears of sports bra's! or even just a tight cloth around their chest to hold them flat??  and what about TALKING to the girls to teach them not to allow a man to touch them, till they are of age??!

Impressively well spoken writer. I hope President Goodluck listens, and not just for the South East, but for all 9ja.

try the devils in China! I hope they do get the death penalty! it's the least they deserve for bringing that evil to Nigeria!

  Actually it's true, and it stems from the fact that working Bosom s are healthy ones, women who never have children or never Bosom feed have a much higher risk, because if you don't use it, it will die. like your muscles, or brain, or your uterus, women who never have children have a higher risk of uterine cancer. But then again, what man needs any encouragement to suck his wife's Bosom s??? it's also the world's most perfect food, brought to you by God, so have at it fella's! 

I hope it comes through, check out my Video of cowboy Troy Hick Chick on my Myspace page.

the war on terrorism is EVERYONES war sweeite, they brought Nigeria into it by brainwashing some of our brothers into joining the Al-queda. and we need to face it and fight it to keep it away.

Wow, sobering. I've never seen the Hell of the American slave trade put into a less harsh light, but that is sobering. I agree, every person needs to be learned and aware of their past, to learn from it, and make proper choices in life. God help us all in that.

but i don't see how it pertains to something so small as  this subject, that video needs it's own discussion.

It's not about meeting Obama, it's about Nigeria meeting with the other world leaders in a summit meeting, and contributing to it, and making Nigeria's presence Known. shaking hands with the white man, the red man and the yellow man too, it's about working together with the world, (and news flash guy, Obama's not white thank God) and not God, or even an angel, he's just a good guy, and he is working his ass off trying to bring this war torn world together, and the USA IS reducing our nuclear stockpiles significantly, I know, I live 2 miles from one. Indian Island Nuclear storage, look it up. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/indian-island.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Island,_Washington and thank God for that too, but they did mention that the US would be a good place for the world to store all the high plutonium so that the terrorists couldn't get it, and I'm not sure how I feel about that, it would have to be VERY safe, so it didn't damage the environment,, i think it should just be destroyed, or burried so deep it won't bother anyone and simply not be accessable ever again by anyone. and they did say that nuclear technology is good and fine for the production of electricity and all that.

I like what I'm reading too, i'm glad people remember. Long Live President Johnathon Goodluck! I Pray that he is re-elected!

    I'm actually very happy that the Author did ask such a stupid question, it has shown some very good people who refuse to take sides and badmouth our brothers! Every race creed Nationality and tribe in ths world has good and bad people, and they are all Unique and facinating in their own ways, we are all different, and that's what makes this world so very awsome.   

It is a very big deal! President Johnathan has made a statement to the world that Nigeria will work with the world on stopping the terrorist threats. Nigeria has already installed high tech scanning devices in it's international airports, and taken many other actions that are not being made public twards supporting this anti- terrorist effort. 

He has met with the world in a summit, something that I don't think any other Nigerian Predident has done, and made an Impression on President Obama, who is talking with him further on economic advances in Nigeria. such monitary assistance and support from America could be all the push Nigeria needs to take off into a strong Nation! I am excited myself, because Moruf and I have wanted to start an Import business, bringing Nigerian products here for the Nigerians that live here, and I have high hopes that this has helped that goal, and helped Naija.

Put yourself in Naija's place, If you needed a little help to make yourself a bit better off financially, wouldn't it be to your advantage to have secure rich friends who might just give you a little advice and assistance? well President Johnathan, and President Obama are now friends, think about it.

lol I agree Ajanni, and so be it. If Babalon can fall, and the Soviets, then so can America, and if it does, My Husband and I will just go hang out with the Canadians or come home to Naija.

sweetie, America can put as many names on any list that they want to and don't give a damn about looking suspicious. they can not decrease security just so you feel better, the terrorists are out there, and they just may come through Nigeria  they have done away with the entire list. it no longer exists. they have just increased security for everyone fitting a description that they are given for a possible threat, , and taking away your visa secretly?? who needs secretly? they can just take it openly, they have always done that! what assurances? there never has been any. there is always more than meets the eye, and they can always take your green card if you leave the US before you get your citizenship. that has not changed that is why they tell you not to leave before you get it. DUH
and Obama is fighting in every way he can to improve relations with every country in this world, especially Nigeria, he is possibly the only good man in this crazy government

LOL no, no trouble here, Ajanni is right, i speak as an outsider, and failed to see how difficult it is for change, and how the different tribes and religions have hurt each other, I see the need to tollerate, and get along and live together and unite as one Nigeria, and so does Ajanni, it just takes time to relearn, and the killings reciently do not help matters. Ajanni teach me what knowledge I lack if you will.
