Power: NewYork Times Shades Nigeria In New Article by macherie1: 1:39am On May 10, 2016 |
If you thought your commute was bad, try getting gas in Nigeria writes Dionne Searcey of New York Times. The article goes on to describe the deplorable and laughable situation of power in Nigeria as well as the extreme hardship faced by Nigerians queueing for fuel at gas stations. The article also displayed pictures of Lagos streets in total darkness. I've always been the one to defend Nigeria against foreigners' attempt to tarnish our image but this time I have nothing to defend. Mr Searcey's article is nothing but the sad truth. It's a shame how our reputation as a country continues to get slammed and battered all around the world. While the name of some countries open doors for their citizens, the mere mention that you are a Nigerian most times gets the door slammed in your face in the international network. See the link to the article below. LAGOS, Nigeria — Young men became entangled in a swirl of flying fists. Gas station workers swatted away boys hoping to fill their plastic cans. A mother with a sleeping baby in her minivan was chased off, rightly accused of jumping the line. A driver eager to get ahead crashed into several cars, the sound of crunching metal barely registering amid the noise. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/10/world/africa/frustration-by-the-hour-as-nigeria-tries-to-cure-long-lines-for-gasoline.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0 https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/729811981931315204 12 Likes 2 Shares

Depending on which part of the world you are, Nigerians are considered as dysfunctional freaks. Most of the problems stems from the fact that,the people in position to influence issues are either lawyers or finance experts. As a result,experimentation and evidence based solutions is beyond them. The solution is always money,money and more money. You do not need an economist ( mostly quacks) to solve this problem. I have written about this before. it used to be like that in lagos and his applicable to all cities apart a few. SUMMARY reduce the number of private cars on the road and change behaviour thereby leading to the reduction in the amount Nigeria spends on petrol. 1 bicycles and bicycles lane 2 congestion charges 3 expensive driving licenses 4 FG should terminate all train journeys outside city limits. 5 Turn over all rail transport within city limits to the state for mass transit. 6 Toll roads 7 taxes on parking In other countries, you get conventional trains like every 15min while in lagos, you would have to wait hour or even days to see 1 train. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Na only nursery school kids full NL this early morning. They left the topic to be making noise about avengers or no avengers. Smh All these silly write ups are western paid journalist whose sole agenda is to ridicule nigerian, drive away foreign investors and thereby force us to remain poor and keep begging for their loans. I have said it before, this in nothing but international politics, punishment for dining with china! Period. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

FlatheadCoward: I guess Boko Haram was bombing Taiwan? Buhari is everlastingly dull and avengers will nail his coffin. What is a big deal about few bombs in the Niger Delta? Their region has been devastated since days of IBB, Abacha etc There have been gas flares there since way back when. So what is a bomb or two or three or ten on a pipeline? It's their land. APC should change their budget calculations. That's the change that remains go be seen , no money for them 21 Likes 4 Shares |

scribble: Stop debating with this person. They say oil is now useless yet they are crying more than the bereaved. I like what the Avengers are doing and I think every 5percenter should give his moral, spiritual and financial support. It's time to balance the equation. Money from the Niger Delta was used to build Lagos and Abuja...the Avengers should move immediately to demolish the proceeds of crime and injustice. Anybody who does not like it should man up and agitate for their own country. 26 Likes 1 Share |
