Every Sunday when I go to church, i see other Christians strutting to theirs and i hear praise, worship and preaching over loudspeakers, I wonder exactly what Nigerian Christians are going to church to learn. Even Muslims have started holding crusades, vigils and proselytising in buses and on the streets.

We are becoming more and more religious but it is not reflecting in our lifestyles. We have no conscience, zero morals, we are ready to sell our brethren, cheat, steal from and kill the next person, yet on Fridays and Sundays we rush to religious houses to pray to 'God'.

There's something terribly wrong somewhere. Terribly, terribly wrong.

Black man shouts racism/marginalisation meanwhile they are their own worst enemy. It's an understatement using the word "Greed" to describe these race especially we Nigerians.

I tell people that the leadership of this country is a true reflection of it's citizens. Look at forthcoming election, must we settle for PMB & Atiku? If there are no credible candidates, can't we protest peacefully by not voting?

Corruption has become a religion of its own in this country and it's now endemic. This is even a child's play compare to the what is happening in Apapa port. All food items are being compromised and adulterated before getting to distributors/retailers. These ones also will do their "mago-mago" leaving shaft for end-consumers as seen in the video.

Ofcourse we can use a case of getting Fuel at filling station where attendant will tamper the fuel pump meter and still not sell the exact price/quantity you need. Instead of selling N500, they will sell N465 saying because you are using Keg.

People doing business will understand beta.

If what you say is what happens, why don't they simply sell the rice at a realistic price which takes their expenses into consideration
. Are they forced to sell their rice at a particular price?

I believe it's just greed at work.

Palm oil is over adulterated with a mixture that makes it looks reddish.
If you buy already grounded egusi, ogbono; its mixed with fine grained garri.
If you buy already cut vegetable; you have more than one type of veggie in that cut.

Kpomo/Kanda, is soaked in formalin to make it look bigger.
Cattle towel/assorted parts are soaked in smelling dirty water to make them expand .

There are so many funny things Nigerians do all in the name to make profits.

Bros I dey tell you say 95% of Nigerians won't be able to cope in heaven even if they are given free entry. Nigerians find it hard not to cut corners. They always forming sharp man/woman. Police go collect bribe, immigration go collect bribe, you want driver's license, they will disturb you for bribe. You want to clear goods at the port, they want bribe. There is a queue in the bank to pay, one big man will come from no where and chance all of you.

You go to some churches very early just so you can seat in the front, they tell you the seats are reserved for special people. Everything na so so corruption. Most people only complain when they do not benefit from it.

Like you said, millions of youths are actually supporting Buhari and Atiku yet they will be claiming the country is not progressing. How can you want progress and support people like Atiku and Buhari? How can people like Osibanjo and Peter Obi be vice to people like Atiku and Buhari? Why are we not supporting young politicians who are not the same old annoying barrawos. In our clear eyes, we see these evil politicians jumping from one party to another like they are playing ping pong, yet youths continue to support them.

dainformant:
While most Nigerians are blaming the government for the problems in the country, a man has decided to expose the theft/scam being carried out by some traders in order to make quick money.

In a trending video posted online (watch below), some women were caught removing about eight Derica cups from each bag of rice after which they will use a new bag to repackage it and make it look 50kg bag of rice.

This is what they do to make extra cash as the bags of rice are later sold to unsuspecting customers who have no idea how they've been scammed.

Nigerians while reacting to the video, urged the government and appropriate authorities to look into the issue carried out by the corrupt traders.

Watch the video below.

You do have a point.

The country has no comparative advantage in producing rice and should naturally be a massive importer of the stuff.

Only 3 countires have that comparative advantage and they are India, Vietnam and Thailand. They have large acreages of the type of land suitabe for rice cultivation

This has been going on for years, they even add shafts and stones to bag of beans add to its weight. Nigerians find it convenient to blame the government for every little thing but most of them are not honest.


Maybe because there is no proper structure to watch and regulate the activities of these people.
Laws were made because of the tendencies of human in-actions.
the government still have a role to play in this by not just making a law against this but implementing it t the core.

This practice has been for decades. It is done everywhere in Nigeria. Once rice enters market, they have special filtering device which they use to suck rice out of the bag.

Companies buying rice for Xmas gifts to staff should buy directly from companies such as Olam, Churchgate, Stallion and others. Most of the time, the rice are more than 50KG when they arrived in Nigeria due to manufacturer's effort or as a result of moisture absorbed after packaging & in transit.

The traders have weighing machine which they use to reduce the rice to 50KG and even below

Thanks, but what are these companies if I may ask? Are they retailers or wholesalers of these products? I've head of churchgate but I've never heard of the others.
