The unity of Nigeria will only come if we overcome and overgrow tribe, materialism and selfish human nature. ~ Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha
Nigeria quotes by Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha
God forbid that we become so brainwashed as to embrace a politician as a messiah and believe what the media portrays him or her to be. Until their tenure is up and they have done their bit, every politician is just another politician. ~ Paul Bamikole
Nigeria quotes by Paul Bamikole
And with alphabetical irony Nigeria follows New Zealand ~ David Coleman
Nigeria quotes by David Coleman
The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great-grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities of the North as willing tools and the South as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over their future. ~ Ahmadu Bello
Nigeria quotes by Ahmadu Bello
From 1971 to 1993, my family lived in a number of African countries, including Malawi, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Nigeria, as well as Uganda itself. ~ Giles Foden
Nigeria quotes by Giles Foden
Christianity's growth, especially in the developing world, has been explosive. There are now six times more Anglicans in Nigeria alone than there are in all of the United States. There are more Presbyterians in Ghana than in the United States and Scotland combined. Korea has gone from 1 percent to 40 percent Christian in a hundred years, and experts believe the same thing is going to happen in China. If there are half a billion Chinese Christians fifty years from now, that will change the course of human history.6 ~ Timothy J. Keller
Nigeria quotes by Timothy J. Keller
When your economy is subject to the whims of Libya and Nigeria and Venezuela, you have a problem. ~ Jason Chaffetz
Nigeria quotes by Jason Chaffetz
This will sound crazy, but I'm saving it. For my nursing home list." "You mean bucket list." "Oh no, that's totally different. A nursing home list is a list of things you plan on reading and watching in a nursing home. A bucket list is more like . . . visit Nigeria, jump out of an airplane. A nursing home list is like, read The Western Coast and watch Pulp Fiction and listen to the latest Daft Punk album. ~ Caroline Kepnes
Nigeria quotes by Caroline Kepnes
Only desperate and corrupt politicians can use rigging, thuggery, vote buying, violence, trouble, assault, propaganda and lies to win an election and take over power by force. ~ Bamigboye Olurotimi
Nigeria quotes by Bamigboye Olurotimi
They knew that Jamaica produced sugar, rum and bananas, that Nigeria produced cocoa, and that British Guiana had large natural resources; but these names, though as familiar as the products with which they were associated, were of places far away, and no one seemed really interested in knowing anything about the peoples who lived there or their struggles towards political and economic betterment. ~ E.R. Braithwaite
Nigeria quotes by E.R. Braithwaite
If you're able to grow up in Nigeria and go through certain things, you're able to tackle anything around the world because you're able to live wherever, if you can survive in a city like Lagos or Warri or Niger Delta, as far as I'm concerned. ~ Nneka
Nigeria quotes by Nneka
I like to say, 'I spend one-third of my time in Nigeria, one-third in Europe or America, and one-third on a plane.' ~ Wole Soyinka
Nigeria quotes by Wole Soyinka
My books have done extremely well, I know. But I don't honestly feel much different from when I began to write. I still think we have a long way to go. I suppose my name means more in Nigeria today than it did five years ago. But I feel the job that literature should do in our community has not even started. It's not yet part of the life of the nation. We are still at the beginning. It's a big beginning, because now we are catching the next generation in the schools. When I was their age, I had nothing to read that had any relevance to my own environment. ~ Chinua Achebe
Nigeria quotes by Chinua Achebe
In primary school in south-eastern Nigeria, I was taught that Hosni Mubarak was the president of Egypt. I learned the same thing in secondary school. In university, Mubarak was still president of Egypt. I came to assume, subconsciously, that he - and others like Paul Biya in Cameroon and Muammar Gaddafi in Libya - would never leave. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Nigeria quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. There are no 'Nigerians' in the same sense as there are 'English,' 'Welsh,' or 'French.' The word 'Nigerian' is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not. ~ Obafemi Awolowo
Nigeria quotes by Obafemi Awolowo
I have learnt from the politics of my great country, Nigeria that there is nothing wrong with the heads of states, but there is something wrong with the state of the heads. ~ Ogwo David Emenike
Nigeria quotes by Ogwo David Emenike
TODAY is the PAST of your FUTURE. So, make TODAY count for the sake of your HISTORY. Use your words, time & choices wisely ~ Fela Durotoye
Nigeria quotes by Fela Durotoye
The good news for Nigeria is that they're two-nil down very early in the game. ~ Kevin Keegan
Nigeria quotes by Kevin Keegan
English, although the official language of Nigeria, was a formal language with which strangers and non-relatives addressed you. It had the potency of digging craters between you and your friends or relatives if one of you switched to using it. So, our parents hardly spoke English, except in moments like this, when the words were intended to pull the ground from beneath our feet. ~ Chigozie Obioma
Nigeria quotes by Chigozie Obioma
Today, the witch theory of causality has fallen into disuse, with the exception of a few isolated pockets in Papua New Guinea, India, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia, Tanzania, Kenya, or Sierra Leone, where "witches" are still burned to death. A 2002 World Health Organization study, for example, reported that every year more than 500 elderly women in Tanzania alone are killed for being "witches." In Nigeria, children by the thousands are being rounded up and torched as "witches," and in response the Nigerian government arrested a self-styled bishop named Okon Williams, who it accused of killing 110 such children. ~ Michael Shermer
Nigeria quotes by Michael Shermer
Without doubt, our inability to design and implement a sustainable economic framework has resulted to our present ranking on the globalization index; a precious market to the productive countries. ~ Tony Osborg
Nigeria quotes by Tony Osborg
School is not meant for the poor, only for the rich. ~ Olusegun Obasanjo
Nigeria quotes by Olusegun Obasanjo
What is happening in Nigeria is an absolute atrocity, ~ Masai Ujiri
Nigeria quotes by Masai Ujiri
Wars have been waged over millions of square miles, significantly larger than the British Empire at its peak. Historically, Islamic conquests stretched from southern France to the Philippines, from Austria to Nigeria, and from central Asia to New Guinea. The Muslim goal was to have a central government, first at Damascus, and then at Baghdad, later at Cairo, Istanbul, and other imperial centres. The local governors, judges, and other rulers were appointed by the central imperial authorities for far off colonies. Islamic law was introduced as the senior law, whether or not wanted by the local people. Arabic was introduced as the rulers' language, while the local languages frequently disappeared. Then, two classes of residents were established. The native residents paid a tax that their rulers did not have to pay. In each case, these laws allowed the local conquered people less freedom than was given to Muslims. ~ Anita B. Sulser PhD
Nigeria quotes by Anita B. Sulser PhD
The vast majority of arrests carried out by the military appear to be entirely arbitrary, often based solely on the dubious word of a paid informant. Military sources repeatedly told Amnesty International that the informants are unreliable and often provide false information in order to get paid.

One officer said: "The military uses civilian informants to get information and arrest suspects. Most of these informants are liars. They give false information to the soldiers who are desperate to simply shoot and kill. Many of the soldiers don't know about investigations. The soldiers take these rash actions mainly out of frustration, especially after seeing their colleagues killed. ~ Amnesty International
Nigeria quotes by Amnesty International
What we now have as a government is a god, built by our mortal hands and, yet, externally variant in power, always requiring our prayers, pity and appeals in order to fulfill its supposed purposes. ~ Tony Osborg
Nigeria quotes by Tony Osborg
Thom pulled nervously at his 'Kings' t-shirt. The Kings are a brutal West African gang that he follows onscreen. Such 'tourist shows', as I understand they are called, have become wildly popular in recent years, as global unrest makes actual travel less popular.

Armoured imaging teams, using tiny remote drone cameras known as 'flies', take the viewer inside the violent, gang-controlled regions of Nigeria and Cameroon. Using a touch screen, viewers (or 'zoners' as they are sometimes called) can follow the action from multiple angles while cheering on their favourite gang. ~ Paul Christensen
Nigeria quotes by Paul Christensen
I've had trouble now and again in Nigeria because I have spoken up about the mistreatment of factions in the country because of difference in religion. These are things we should put behind us. ~ Chinua Achebe
Nigeria quotes by Chinua Achebe
People from different parts of the world can respond to the same story if it says something to them about their own history and their own experience. ~ Chinua Achebe
Nigeria quotes by Chinua Achebe
I hate neutrality becouse is the worst thing that ever happened ~ Hamzatribah
Nigeria quotes by Hamzatribah
Grandma; it was to grandma I truly wanted to have returned, but she was no more. I could only remember the day she died. The tears mother shed on me, as if I was going to face a more difficult world than any other member of our family. Pg.100 ~ Obehi Peter Ewanfoh
Nigeria quotes by Obehi Peter Ewanfoh
I felt Nigeria didn't have to succumb to the image of being a corrupt country; we didn't have to let the economy stagnate. ~ Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
Nigeria quotes by Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
To succeed in this day and age, all you need to be ahead of the pack is to be informed, and turn the information into transformation for your betterment and that of others. ~ Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha
Nigeria quotes by Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha
Corruption is an inevitable by-product of the present structure of Nigeria's federalism. Once we restructure the polity into a true fiscal federalism, everything else will simply fall into place. Until then, corruption remains as official as it is legal in Nigeria. ~ Tony Osborg
Nigeria quotes by Tony Osborg
Close to half my students in one class in northern Nigeria, where head coverings are part of the culture, held this view, so after they had finished debating with the other half, I asked why none of them had greeted me with a holy kiss - and they laughed! The holy kiss is an explicit command repeated in Scripture five times as often as head coverings (Rom. 16:16; 1 Cor. 16:20; 2 Cor. 13:12; 1 Thess. 5:26; 1 Pet. 5:14), but the usual response is, "That was merely a cultural form of greeting." Indeed it was, but covering the head (technically, all the hair) was also merely a cultural expression of sexual modesty, as can be demonstrated from a massive number of ancient sources.26Yet a few of my students bordered on calling other students "liberal" because they did not insist on head coverings as a transcultural requirement! Who determines where to draw the line? Is everyone liberal who holds as cultural something we hold as transcultural? ~ James R. Beck
Nigeria quotes by James R. Beck
When we went in the late 1990s, Nigeria was still in a dictatorship. So we didn't go with a mission. It started really with a sort of blankness and open-endedness. ~ Rem Koolhaas
Nigeria quotes by Rem Koolhaas
The sky was overcast with thick, grey clouds drifting in the direction of Idasa. That meant rain. It would come, as long as the clouds drifted in that direction. Lightening flashes momentarily parted the clouds...Shango, the god of lightening and thunder, was registering his anger as this strange talk of a new God is taking hold of simple folk who were once unquestioning votaries of his order. The new malady must be nipped in the bud. ~ T.M. Aluko
Nigeria quotes by T.M. Aluko
Corruption is the bane of Nigeria. Buhari is against corruption. Buhari is not corrupt. He is very clean and disciplined. Election rigging is worse than armed robbery. Buhari wants free, fair and credible elections in Nigeria. ~ Tam David-West
Nigeria quotes by Tam David-West
If I had not grown up in Nigeria- and if all I knew of Africa were of popular images- I too would think that africa was a place of beautiful landscapes, beautiful animals and incomprehensible people fighting sensless wars, dying of poverty and aids- unable to speak for themselves and waiting to be saved by a kind white foreigner. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Nigeria quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Contemplating while barefoot on the grounds my father and grandfather walked, I saw my life clearly. With African sun nibbling on my dark skin and gentle winds soothing my foreboding, my past life and current responsibilities overwhelmed me occasionally. Abundant tears flowed freely. Dripping on my face and clothes. Travelling through the ancient roads created by my forefathers, grasslands, trees and anthills kept me company. A lonely journey. I knew that nothing remains the same, but ones past never changes. Even in the loneliness of my past, I accepted that you cannot effectively go forward without knowing how and where you started your journey. Even in that state of near dejection I was aware that my sojourn in foreign lands is not forever, but my lording of this beautiful land, my own Africa, where my spent body will finally rest someday, is for eternity. Nothing remains the same, but nothing ever changes. It depends on how you look at your life. ~ Fidelis O. Mkparu
Nigeria quotes by Fidelis O. Mkparu
Here's to the security guards who maybe had a degree in another land. Here's to the manicurist who had to leave her family to come here, painting the nails, scrubbing the feet of strangers. Here's to the janitors who don't understand English yet work hard despite it all. Here's to the fast food workers who work hard to see their family smile. Here's to the laundry man at the Marriott who told me with the sparkle in his eyes how he was an engineer in Peru. Here's to the bus driver, the Turkish Sufi who almost danced when I quoted Rumi. Here's to the harvesters who live in fear of being deported for coming here to open the road for their future generation. Here's to the taxi drivers from Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt and India who gossip amongst themselves. Here is to them waking up at 4am, calling home to hear the voices of their loved ones. Here is to their children, to the children who despite it all become artists, writers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, activists and rebels. Here's to international money transfer. For never forgetting home. Here's to their children who carry the heartbeats of their motherland and even in sleep, speak with pride about their fathers. Keep on. ~ Ijeoma Umebinyuo
Nigeria quotes by Ijeoma Umebinyuo
The United States has worse income inequality than Nigeria. ~ Max Fisher
Nigeria quotes by Max Fisher
In response to the question "Do you favor or oppose making sharia law, or Islamic law, the official law of the land in our country?" the nations with the five largest Muslim populations - Indonesia (204 million), Pakistan (178 million), Bangladesh (149 million), Egypt (80 million), and Nigeria (76 million) - showed overwhelming support for sharia. To be precise, 72 percent of Indonesian Muslims, 84 percent of Pakistani Muslims, 82 percent of Bangladeshi Muslims, 74 percent of Egyptian Muslims, and 71 percent of Nigerian Muslims supported making sharia the state law of their respective societies. In two Islamic nations that are considered to be transitioning to democracy, the number of sharia supporters was even higher. Pew found that 91 percent of Iraqi Muslims and 99 percent of Afghan Muslims supported making sharia their country's official law. ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Nigeria quotes by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
The trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership. There is nothing basically wrong with the Nigerian land or climate or water or air or anything else. The Nigerian problem is the unwillingness or inability of its leaders to rise to the responsibility, to the challenge of personal example which are the hallmarks of true leadership. ~ Chinua Achebe
Nigeria quotes by Chinua Achebe
Nigeria is a great country, if not, one of the best in the world. It is just that we have rulers who are not leaders, but dealers. They engage in sales of the country's wealth of resources on daily basis for selfish interest and personal gains. ~ Olawale Daniel
Nigeria quotes by Olawale Daniel
And, by the way, thank you for drugging me with Ketamine in Nigeria. He now thinks I'm a recreational drug user." "You're . . . welcome? ~ Penny Reid
Nigeria quotes by Penny Reid
Today, no walls can separate humanitarian or human rights crises in one part of the world from national security crises in another. What begins with the failure to uphold the dignity of one life all too often ends with a calamity for entire nations. ~ Kofi Annan
Nigeria quotes by Kofi Annan
The most dangerous thing I've ever encountered was a run-in with Boko Haram around 2007 in a small town in Nigeria. I got caught along with the photographer I was working with, the same one I worked with on the Afghanistan book, Seamus Murphy. We were caught in an attack by a mob after Friday prayers. And the level of violence was so extreme. It was more violent than any other mob violence I have ever seen. ~ Eliza Griswold
Nigeria quotes by Eliza Griswold
Nigeria, with the oil sector, had the reputation of being corrupt and not managing its own public finances well. So what did we try to do? We introduced a fiscal rule that de-linked our budget from the oil price. ~ Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
Nigeria quotes by Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
We must fortify African democracy and peace by launching Radio Democracy for Africa, supporting the transition to democracy now beginning to take place in Nigeria. ~ William J. Clinton
Nigeria quotes by William J. Clinton
Nigerians must have the dream, believe the dream, live the dream and work to build the dream ~ Fela Durotoye
Nigeria quotes by Fela Durotoye
I am making this trip to Africa because Washington is an international city, just like Tokyo, Nigeria or Israel. As mayor, I am an international symbol. Can you deny that to Africa? ~ Marion Barry
Nigeria quotes by Marion Barry
Those plates, with their amateur finishing, the slight lumpiness of the edges, would never be shown in the presence of guests in Nigeria. He still was not sure whether Emenike had become a person who believed that something was beautiful because it was handmade by poor people in a foreign country, or whether he had simply learned to pretend so. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Nigeria quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Just because you don't know the exact country or tribe that your ancestors descended from, doesn't mean they aren't apart of your ethnic make-up. Black history didn't begin in slavery, we have a beautiful royal dynasty that began around 830 CE (CE is the correct term to use, most people know this as AD). My visits to Nigeria gave me a sense of pride to be connected to such a rich history that will never be taken away from me.-part of an excerpt from my second book, Ebony Jones ~ Ebony Jones-Kuye
Nigeria quotes by Ebony Jones-Kuye
I didn't leave Africa, I left Nigeria, and for political reasons. But ... I've never, never left Africa, and I certainly never left what it means to be Ibo. That is something you carry with you. ~ Chris Abani
Nigeria quotes by Chris Abani
Well, Nigeria has played a constructive role in peacekeeping in various parts of West Africa. But unless and until Nigeria itself is democratic and respects human rights, it too may well be a source of much greater instability as political repression limits the ability of the people of Nigeria to achieve their full potential. ~ Susan Rice
Nigeria quotes by Susan Rice
None of this is to deny that the Niger Delta has made mistakes. It has, and a good number at that. But then, mistakes are made to make wiser and therefore help in better decision making. ~ Emi Iyalla
Nigeria quotes by Emi Iyalla
Many Nigerians believe that Babangida 'institutionalized corruption', yet few admit their own complicity in creating the situation where corruption became the norm. The citizenry are simultaneously victims, accomplices and active participants in their own corrupt downfall. Corruption in Nigeria is not just an offshoot of collapsed social and governmental institutions, nor is it the result of a hostile economic environment. The roots go much deeper and are more symptomatic of a residual breakdown of Nigerian societal values and morality. It is the result of a nationwide refusal to condemn dishonesty... While the government must take blame for not cracking down on corruption, the public deserves its share of blame for encouraging it, and letting the government get away with it. ~ Max Siollun
Nigeria quotes by Max Siollun
I think anyone who isn't investing in Nigeria is missing out. If you look at Nigeria today, literally all of the business class cabins are full of foreigners, because these guys see opportunity. ~ Mo Abudu
Nigeria quotes by Mo Abudu
The past, if there is such a thing, is mostly empty space, great expanses of nothing, in which significant persons and events float. Nigeria was like that for me: mostly forgotten, except for those few things that I remembered with an outsize intensity. These were the things that had been solidified in my mind by reiteration, that recurred in dreams and daily thoughts: certain faces, certain conversations, which, taken as a group, represented a secure version of the past that I had been constructing since 1992. But there was another, irruptive, sense of things past. The sudden reencounter in the present, of something or someone long forgotten, some part of myself I had relegated to childhood and to Africa. ~ Teju Cole
Nigeria quotes by Teju Cole
Elections in Nigeria Under My Watch Have Been Credible and Transparent ~ Goodluck Jonathan
Nigeria quotes by Goodluck Jonathan
An enlightened and empowered generation is the key to our development in Nigeria and indeed in Africa ~ Fela Durotoye
Nigeria quotes by Fela Durotoye
What the new government of Nigeria and other African governments must do, is to start a massive reorientation campaign in the culture of the dignity of labour. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Nigeria quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Show me a clever nation; then I will show you a clever government! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Nigeria quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
I believe that for Nigeria and other third world countries to truly become developed, we must change the culture and attitude of our people towards work ~ Sunday Adelaja
Nigeria quotes by Sunday Adelaja
And so Mr. Brown came to be respected even by the clan, because he trod softly on its faith. ~ Chinua Achebe
Nigeria quotes by Chinua Achebe
Bosch had left Nigeria with his infamous Butcher Boys - assorted sizes, shapes and colors, but all killers for a price - when his scheme to take over a native village backfired. He had figured on cleaning up by selling the village girls in the Congo but found himself dodging spears, knives and related items of cutlery instead. ~ Walter Kaylin
Nigeria quotes by Walter Kaylin
Alexa and the other guests, and perhaps even Georgina, all understood the fleeing from war, from the kind of poverty that crushed human souls, but they would not understand the need to escape from the oppressive lethargy of choicelessness. They would not understand why people like him who were raised well fed and watered but mired in dissatisfaction, conditioned from birth to look towards somewhere else, eternally convinced that real lives happened in that somewhere else, were now resolved to do dangerous things, illegal things, so as to leave, none of them starving, or raped, or from burned villages, but merely hungry for for choice and certainty. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Nigeria quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Are we witnessing an Obama 'Wag the Dog' moment with Boko Haram in Nigeria? I say yes. Consider all the scandals facing the Obama administration, especially Benghazi and the Select Committee. ~ Allen West
Nigeria quotes by Allen West
To poison a nation, poison its stories. A demoralised nation tells demoralised stories to itself. Beware of the storytellers who are not fully conscious of the importance of their gifts, and who are irresponsible in the application of their art: they ~ Ben Okri
Nigeria quotes by Ben Okri
It is very fascinating to observe one Ngwa politician who is dreaming of becoming the future governor of Abia State Nigeria, yet he/she does not know what he/she doesn't know. ~ Charles Nwosu
Nigeria quotes by Charles Nwosu
I am a woman and a woman of Africa. I am a daughter of Nigeria and if she is in shame, I shall stayand mourn with her in shame. ~ Buchi Emecheta
Nigeria quotes by Buchi Emecheta
The terrorism from 9/11 has metastasized. It's metastasized in Iraq and Syria, in Nigeria, in Somalia, in Yemen and in other places in North Africa. We need a very comprehensive strategy to deal with that threat. ~ Leon Panetta
Nigeria quotes by Leon Panetta
We must be the ones to re-define the world class standards of excellence ~ Fela Durotoye
Nigeria quotes by Fela Durotoye
Nigeria has moved into low-middle-income, but their north is very poor, and the health care systems there have broken down. ~ Bill Gates
Nigeria quotes by Bill Gates
The Arab Spring had turned into the Arab Calamity. Radical Islam now controlled a swath of territory that stretched from Afghanistan to Nigeria, an accomplishment that even Bin Laden would have never dreamed possible. ~ Daniel Silva
Nigeria quotes by Daniel Silva
The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don't know - Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel - the quality of philosophy. ~ Doris Lessing
Nigeria quotes by Doris Lessing
Educating our young girls is the foundation for Nigeria's growth and development. ~ Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
Nigeria quotes by Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
Nigeria is a West African nation of over 100 million energetic people. It is endowed with lots of natural resources but lacks human resources. ~ Philip Emeagwali
Nigeria quotes by Philip Emeagwali
The first step to Happiness is deciding exactly what kind of life you want. That kinda comes from experience. ~ I.B. Opene
Nigeria quotes by I.B. Opene
My parents were early converts to Christianity in my part of Nigeria. They were not just converts; my father was an evangelist, a religious teacher. He and my mother traveled for thirty-five years to different parts of Igboland, spreading the gospel. ~ Chinua Achebe
Nigeria quotes by Chinua Achebe
Nigeria has no business with poverty. With our human and material resources, we shall strive to eradicate poverty from our country. ~ Olusegun Obasanjo
Nigeria quotes by Olusegun Obasanjo
Nigeria will start exporting cars soon ~ Goodluck Jonathan
Nigeria quotes by Goodluck Jonathan
The work of Nigeria is not complete for as long as there is any one Nigerian who goes to bed on empty stomach. ~ Ibrahim Babangida
Nigeria quotes by Ibrahim Babangida
Nigeria has had a complicated colonial history. My work has examined that part of our story extensively. ~ Chinua Achebe
Nigeria quotes by Chinua Achebe
In Nigeria, financial services, telecoms, and entertainment have driven growth more than oil. ~ Oscar N. Onyema
Nigeria quotes by Oscar N. Onyema
And after you register your own company, you must find a white man. Find one of your white friends in England. Tell everybody he is your General Manager. You will see how doors will open for you because you have an oyinbo General Manager. Even Chief has some white men that he brings in for show when he needs them. That is how Nigeria works. I'm telling you. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Nigeria quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
The work of making Nigeria great is not yet done, because I still believe that change is possible, this time through the ballot, and most importantly, because I still have the capacity and the passion to dream and work for a Nigeria that will be respected again in the comity of nations and that all Nigerians will be proud of. ~ Muhammadu Buhari
Nigeria quotes by Muhammadu Buhari
After Nigeria, we are the second biggest black African nation. We are the headquarters of the African Union. We are the only African country that has never been colonized. This is perhaps the last surviving African civilization. ~ Meles Zenawi
Nigeria quotes by Meles Zenawi
In Nigeria, Hillary Clinton amazingly fought for two years to keep an Al-Qaeda affiliate off the terrorist watch list. ~ Chris Christie
Nigeria quotes by Chris Christie
I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country. ~ Muhammadu Buhari
Nigeria quotes by Muhammadu Buhari
Dwayne Hoover, incidentally, had an unusually large penis, and didn't even know it. The few women he had had anything to do with weren't sufficiently experienced to know whether he was average or not. The world average was five and seven-eighths inches long, and one and
one-half inches in diameter when engorged with blood. Dwayne's was seven inches long and two and one-eighth inches in diameter when engorged with blood.

Dwayne's son Bunny had a penis that was exactly average.

Kilgore Trout had a penis seven inches long, but only one and one-quarter inches in diameter...

Harry LeSabre, Dwayne's sales manager, had a penis five inches long and two and one-eighth inches in diameter.

Cyprian Ukwende, the black physician from Nigeria, had a penis six and seven-eighths inches long and one and three-quarters inches in diameter.

Don Breedlove, the gas-conversion unit installer who raped Patty Keene, had a penis five and seven-eighths inches long and one and seven-eighths inches in diameter.

Patty Keene had thirty-four-inch hips, a twenty-six-inch waist, and a thirty-four-inch bosom.

Dwayne's late wife had thirty-six-inch hips, a twenty-eight-inch waist, and a thirty-eight-inch bosom when he married her. She had thirty- nine-inch hips, a thirty-one-inch waist, and a thirty-eight-inch bosom when she ate Dr‚no.

His mistress and secretary, Francine Pefko, had thirty-seven-inch hips, a thir ~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Nigeria quotes by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Look at me as an example. I don't have the best education or the best looks. Where I'm from in Nigeria is not entertainment driven, it's the northern part of Nigeria and over there they hardly pay attention to entertainment. I came out of that place to attain this level of success. I always say if I can get here with all of these imperfections then no one has the excuse to fail in life. ~ Ice Prince
Nigeria quotes by Ice Prince
What we need now is a nation of great people who live to positively impact others and build enduring legacies ~ Fela Durotoye
Nigeria quotes by Fela Durotoye
Prayers don't build good infrastructures. They don't develop countries. They don't improve the poor healthcare system or the education system. God has placed man in charge of ALL. ~ Oyekunle Bamigboye
Nigeria quotes by Oyekunle Bamigboye
The people you see in Nigeria today have always lived as neighbors in the same space for as long as we can remember. So it's a matter of settling down, lowering the rhetoric, the level of hostility in the rhetoric is too high. ~ Chinua Achebe
Nigeria quotes by Chinua Achebe
Yes beyonce, thank you very very much!!!

Growing up wasn't easy for me, even as a boy, then as a black boy, then it was even harder as a black boy who lives in Africa. You might think that white privilege is more prevalent in America but no, it is worse here in Africa were white people are literally worshiped as gods.

While growing up as a boy in my teens, i had serious self esteem issues, i didn't like the color of my skin, i didn't like my hair, i didn't like my butt, and i was a boy!!! can you believe it? in 2007 i even tried bleaching my skin, lucky for me i bought a fake bleaching cream, translation, it didn't work. I dyed my hair blonde several times.

But after a while i started to get my self esteem in place, the fact that i had so many white folks as friends at that time didn't help, truth is most white people living here in Africa claim not to be racist but when you catch that stare, hear that comment, see the way they react, you can smell racism all over them. I can give you a simple example, I had a white friend years ago who was an exec at a big oil company here in Nigeria, I had just graduated and needed a job, I spoke to him about it and y'all wont believe what he suggested, well, he suggested I work as his steward.

You see, a lot of Nigerians will jump at it, but i smelt racism all over that offer and i wasn't gonna be a slave to a white man who still had slave-owner tendencies, he totally undermined my degree and fel ~ Joseph Ejiro
Nigeria quotes by Joseph Ejiro
There isn't a class structure in Nigeria; there's a tribal structure and prestige as far as money is concerned. ~ Sade Adu
Nigeria quotes by Sade Adu
Every rabbit-nation will find its tyrant! Oppressors are the destiny of coward and submissive nations! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Nigeria quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
This has a lot to do with the unrest in Nigeria, but also with the production loss after the hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, the decline in Iraq since the 2003 war, and the decline in Venezuelan output since 2002. ~ Daniel Yergin
