Aufbauh:

“We have a zero-sub mindset. People are struggling over things that they shouldn’t be struggling over.” e.g the death recorded in the most recent Ipob rally for uninterested President Donald Trump.

And Fulani killing people just because of grazing land when they can actually ranch and make more money

The phrase is Zero- Sum mindset in reference to Game Theory.

I dey wonder whether our Journalists for Naija go school at all.

Someone is talking about Game Theory, you are writing about Mortal Kombat. Zero-Sub ko! Sub-Zero ni!

In a bus stop, people prefer to struggle for a bus whereas there are still more buses going your way.

fact!!!!...for example,why should be people engage in rally in Nigeria for Trump..... Who e bEPP?...people just wasted their lives!!!!!!!

Am why should a rally result in a loss of deaths? Was the theme of d rally a death-inducing one? Why should people die at the hands of those who should protect life n property?

lol, there are low intensity conflicts going on in this country at almost every moment in the year. The ones you hear and read about are the ones the Lagos press wants you to read about. Especially in the minority areas in the middle belt and the south. Brutal wars that go unnoticed but continuously consuming lives. Mainly over border issues and farmlands... Then there are the road accidents. The number of people that have died on the Lagos-Benin-Asaba road will stun you! Accidents happen on that road daily. It is by far the busiest road in the country and is now too narrow for the ballooning population.

I have also noticed that folks don't get very old as before . Just as they a hitting 70, they are dying and people are 'celebrating' the burial as that of somebody who lived long.. When i was younger, i remember i used to see old men who have bent with age and barely walk around with their walking sticks.. Not any more. Folks drop dead immediately after retirement and it is becoming the norm.. Have you also noticed the frightening increase in the number of cases of people suffering with Prostate cancer, High BP and Diabetes? Even kidney issues?? Did you notice it wasnt like this 30 years back? angry Something must have been deposited in the food chain somewhere..

That one!

Religious and inter ethnic conflict has eaten too deep into the fabric of Nigerian unity.

We are at war. This is a sign of the end time...

''Nation will rise against nation and KINGDOM (or tribe) against KINGDOM.

And there will be famine (recession) and Pestilence (cancer, HIV, EBOLA etc, etc grin ) from one place to another....

And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached onto the ends of the earth (As Jehovah's witnesses are doing) and then....

THE END WILL COME... smiley

Pat Utomi as far as I am concerned you are a clown.
I mean what practical solution have you brought to Nigeria if not quoting economic theories that have no practical attribute.
Just remain the clown that you are to your whoever.

Lagos-benin-Asaba road busier than lagos - Ibadan road? Nah

Folks also dont live long any more becos we've our lifestyle . When did we wtart eating indomie? Spaghetti? Etc

Or generator fumes, congested roads and car fumes, airconditioned cars? Gala ete

HBP will continue with our sedentary lifestyle. Diabetes will persist with consumption of more refined foods imstead of natural foods amd fruits.

Go on and enlightened those close to you. Let them trek instead of riding that okada to short distance. we should try and eat more natural foods and fruits instead of buying imported refined food and feeling like that make us richer than our friends/neighbours. Reduce consumption of refined sugar'd soft drinks and juices and make your own juices from fresh oranges, pineapple, watermelon etc

Prof, Nigerians are resilient and hardy. Most of the challenges we shove aside to survive is enough to pull down the strongest men.

"Resilient" is clever euphemism for hopelessness and despair. Living in survival mode as is one who is thrust into a vast desert; die or live with less?

The truth is we have no other option than to be optimistic and quietly rehearse the ubiquitous nursery rhyme 'Nigeria will be great again'.

Our parents claim Nigeria was once a great nation full of equal opportunities and access to all basic amenities, but it's very hard to live on such a legacy, especially when some are benefiting from the status quo.

Nigeria is full of silent protests, disgruntled citizens on every street and crevice. Naturally humans rise above obstacles no matter size and weight, or penchant for violent retribution.

It took the Arabs and the French over 200 years to wake up from destitution. Now there is no level of fear their governments can instill in them.

Nigerians are merely pawns in the cycle of oft-repeating history. The children of the oppressors always suffer.

Feel my pain? Unlike me, You are suffering in a backward country with no electricity and clean drinking water and no decent future to speak of ,and you are telling me i feel pain.
You must be high on oshogbo weed. If you don't feel pain at your pitiable plight, then there is something seriously wrong with you.

Don't drag me to your dirty afonja level abeg. I know my convo with you is giving you a surge in self-esteem, given the obvious fact that i don't engage in worthless, brain-retarding discourse.
That is all you will get. Now run along and go play in the sand.
Don't bother quoting me. I have soiled myself in the mud enough.

Unlike you, I don't let Pride rule me

I was only setting the records straight.. you should be happy I didn't ignore you from the onset

Prof I humbly disagree with your view because it's not actually the reason why there's a high rate of death in Nigeria.
Bro... More people die in Nigeria a violent death than many countries in war is not the same as high mortality... which would include death due to all other factors..diseases, etc.... nor is it the same as death rate... which is a ratio of number of deaths to population of Nigeria... he is referring to violent deaths period. The headline is misleading... since regardless of how many BH or whatever... we can never have more deaths that China.

U re very wrong,
Nig has denied her citizens basic needs of life,
U pay for electricity bills nd still stays in darkness,
U have no access to clean drinking water,even the dirty one u drink u struggle to get it.
Even the air u breath in nig is very dirty,ask urself why u lock up ur house nd travel for two weeks only to come back nd meet mountain of dust,don't u knw u re the one who has been inhaling does dirts
U struggle to get admission to high institution,
U struggle to graduate,
To find good Job that is where the father of the problem is..
Even the ones working re complaining of insufficient fund.....
To travel to another mans country in europe is also a big struggle!
Ppl die easily where there is no system to aid life nd nig is a good example of that.....

The ibob u re calling names re the set of ppl who is tired of living in this hell called a country.....
