Nigeria has been recklessly kind to many who hate it today. Some obtained 5yrs Degree at Ife for a cumulative tuition of less than N500K at govt expense, but got to US after paying up $20,000 sourced at govt rate for just 18months Masters, to start condemning Nigeria from Abroad.
In over 10yrs, this useless country has provided an average of $2Billion forex every year for tuition fees abroad. Some of them, their parents earned their tuition from govt payroll, lived in official quarters and drove govt cars. All from whats left that politicians didnt steal.
When @AishaYesufu studied Medicine, the money paid for her tuition is an amount close to cowries in today's Naira. If she was born in UK, with that pittance, she'd barely be educated enough to insult Boris Johnson. She'd perhaps will be a farm hand, milking cows in rural Luton.
#NigeriaAt59 have supported our excesses. It provided for looters. It provided money we've been using to eat foreign rice. Nobody knew this useless country was carrying the entire sub-Sahara on its back. FG closed border and Urea fertiliser climbed almost 200% across west Africa.
A friend told me GTB's Gambia branch is more or less Gambia's Central Bank. GTB closing that branch is enough to plunge the region into an economy crisis. Many of our banks leverage on their in-country assets to syndicate foreign loans for Uganda, Cote d'ivoire and many others.
A pharmaceutical company has paracetamol & cough syrup worth ~N500Million heading for the borders, when twas shut. #NigeriaAt59 isn't yet where it should be, but many condemn it from a standpoint of inferiority complex. Stop projecting your low self esteem as that of the nation!
