The Epidemic of Idiocy of Intellectually Retarded Nigerian Girls and Women


The Epidemic of Idiocy of Intellectually Retarded Nigerian Girls and Women On and Off Campus

It is really a shame that majority of Nigerian girls display and portray themselves as sex objects from the street to the internet. Their greatest assets are not their brains, but their loins. It is very difficult, in fact it is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack to find a Nigerian lady you can have an intellectual discussion with. Even those who studied English find it difficult to discuss Soyinka, Tolstoy and Kafka.

Re: Why I Don’t Like Nigerians


Emmanuel, a Nigerian replies on
Why I Don’t Like Nigerians - Lindsay Robert.

I am Nigerian and I live in NIgeria at the moment. I have also lived in the US for years…earlier on.

You are absolutely right in this article. The truth is that Nigerians are generally not pleasant people. The worst part is that they actually think they are. Many Nigerians will steal from you, steal from the companies they work at. WOE UNTO THE PERSON that puts a Nigerian in charge of ‘procuring’ wares for their company. That person will triple the prices probably, and get you broke.


Many Nigerians have run the companies they worked at to the ground.

I often say to some of my Nigerian friends that ‘Nigerians have lost the straight way/. They dont even know what the straight way is anymore. I MEAN IT. They DONT KNOW WHAT THE STRAIGHT WAY OF DOING ANYTHING IS!!!” If there isnt conflict in it, drama in it, cheating in it, they get bored and they cant do it.

I tried to date several Nigerian girls. They are usually very rebellious…dont wanna change anything for the guy. Are obsessed with their UGLY FAKE HAIR ‘weavon’, they spend so much money on.

Nigerians WORSHIP MONEY, and the person that HAS MONEY.

I REPEAT, they WORSHIP MONEY, and The PERSON WHO HAS IT.

They’ll even bow to him and call him ‘Oga, Oga Sir. Sir, we are here naw…. Sir we are looking up to you”…Just because he came out of a Jeep which has tinted windows.


I vowed that I would never try to date another Nigerian girl. They are troublesome, talk back so much, and of course, are ‘blameless’. They have no pride in their natural hair…maybe one in eight does.

Why I Don’t Like Nigerians

We run a site on Yahoo called Antiscammers. And we dealt with Nigerian scammers on there all day long, every single day. People told us that you would walk into a cafe in Nigeria and there would be 40 people sitting at computers, and 37 of them would be sitting there all day trying to steal from Americans. The number of Nigerians who are full-time Internet scammers would absolutely amaze you.

Also we were told that in Nigerian society, there was nothing wrong with being an Internet scammer. Internet scammers were heroes. In fact, they told us that most everyone was some sort of a criminal over there. You had to watch your back all the time because even your friends and lovers would try to rip you off if you turned your back.

A parade of arrested Yahoo-Yahoo Fraudsters in Nigeria.

Everyone in the government is a criminal and a thief. They finally found one guy who wasn’t a criminal (How did they find him?) and they were so shocked that he wasn’t a criminal that they put him in charge of the Nigerian Antifraud Unit. He had his hands full, but he hardly prosecuted any cases because the cops were all corrupt too and taking bribes, and they kept letting everyone off the hook. Also he couldn’t really go after any government people because he would have to lock up the whole government.

Dr. Chioma Blaise Chikere of University of Port Harcourt Wins International Prize


Dr.  Chioma Blaise Chikere of the University of Port Harcourt has won the second prize in the 2017 Elsevier Foundation Green and Sustainable Chemistry Challenge.

Chioma Blaise Chikere, PhD:
The Niger Delta has been devastated by crude oil spills for decades and bioremediation of this land is a major priority for Nigeria.

Dr.Chikere’s area of specialization is environmental biotechnology and petroleum microbiology with focus on bioremediation. She is principal investigator in two research groups: one focusing on the use of molecular microbiology techniques to evaluate microbial population in bioremediation of oil-polluted environments; and the second exploring the therapeutic potentials of underutilized indigenous medicinal plants.

Media Chronology in France


Media Chronology in France

Media chronology (also referred to as statutory windows) is an issue that is considered crucial by the French film and television industry.

The sequence of releasing was initially determined by a Decree until 2000, when a modification was introduced, providing the possibility for the different stakeholders to agree on the terms. After several attempts, an agreement was reached in 2009 by the associations representing the different stakeholders: producers, distributors, theaters, and the broadcasters. As it represented a consensus at that time, this agreement was extended by Ministerial order and made compulsory for any French company. In substance, it provides that a film exploited in theaters cannot be exploited through physical videos and pay VoD before 4 months, pay TV before 10 months, free TV before 22 months and SVOD before 36 months from said initial theatrical release. This agreement has been complied with even by the services established in foreign countries (UK, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, etc.) addressing a French audience.
The development of VoD and SVoD and the difficulty to finance films that are not pre-bought by pay TV have led certain stakeholders to look for a modification of the regulation. The new EU Portability regulation and potential changes to Country of Origin principle for broadcasters being discussed in Brussels also lead to consideration of how the French window system should be reviewed.
There are discussions going on and propositions made by pay TV and independent film producers associations, as well as by the public agency, Centre National du Cinéma et de l'Image Animée (CNC).

Lai Mohammed Makes History With Nigeria's Debut at the 57th Venice Biennale


Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the Honourable Minister for the Ministry of Information and Culture is making history as Nigeria makes her debut at the 57th Venice Biennale; the first time for Africa's most populous nation. This is an unprecedented achievement, because none of Alhaji Lai Mohammed's predecessors achieved this historic feat, due to their ignorance of the importance and significance of the great Venice Biennale to the global appreciation of Contemporary Art and human development in the advancement of modern civilization.

It is still unbelievable that Nigeria known as the cradle of African Art with the greatest cultural heritage of the classic Arts of Igbo Ukwu, Ife, Nok, Benin and Owo has never participated in the previous editions of the Art Biennale since it started in 1895.

The three artists selected to represent Nigeria have now achieved what the greatest Nigerian masters of Contemporary Art did not achieve. But it would have been great if the greatest African printmaker, Bruce Onobraekpeya and Nike Davies joined Victor Ehikhamenor, Peju Alatise and Qudus Onikeku for Nigeria's presentation, "How About NOW?", curated by Adenrele Sonariwo and Emmanuel Iduma, and commissioned by Godwin Obaseki (Edo State Governor), with the support of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture.


"The aim of the Nigerian Pavilion is to reflect on the question of now, and of narratives firmly rooted in the present. The presentation by the artistsexpands an understanding of Nigerian contemporary life through installations, painting, and performance…. Their work seeks to use the narrative of the present to interrogate the minefield of societal consciousness in addressing aspects of identity and belonging as it relates to and confronts our past and future”.
~ Adenrele Sonariwo, Curator of “How About Now?".

Institutionalisation and Ritualization of Corruption in Nigeria


What President Buhari is facing is not just political corruption, but the institutionalization of corruption in Corporate Nigeria.


The incorruptible citizens are the most endangered species in Nigeria.
If you are not corrupt, majority of Nigerians think you are odd or you are arrogant.
Majority of Nigerians from the bottom to the top are corrupt. In fact, there is now ritualization of corruption in the daily lives of Nigerians. And they pass it on to their children who inherit their characteristics of corruption.

For a detailed analysis of the Nigerian crisis of corruption, read In the House of Dogs published by King of Kings Books International and distributed by Amazon and other booksellers worldwide.
