Nairaland Forum

naptu2: Now my observations. This thread demontsrates the causes of some of the problems we have in Nigeria and why these problems persist.

1) Not my state/ethnic group/political party: Some Nigerians will complain ceaselessly about corruption. You'll hear them rant everyday. However, the story will change if a politician from their state/ethnic group/political party is caught red handed and arrested for corruption. "Why don't they arrest people from other tribes/parties?" "This is selective/tribalism!". Yet they want corruption to magically disappear. This explains why criminals like Bode George and Diepriye Alamiyeseigha were given lavish receptions when they left prison and why criminals like James Ibori and Uba are celebrated and protected.

2) Don't even try/why bother? This group of people have become so used to corruption, nepotism, abuse of power, filth, etc that they don't believe you should even try to stamp them out. They have a defeatist attitude. They don't believe that it's worth it to try and save that child from diseases caused by filth, from poor healthcare caused by corruption, etc. They have a "do nothing" attitude. Corrupt politicians love these kinds of people and Fela sang about them in "Shuffering and Shmiling" and "Sorrow, Tears and Blood".

3) It happens in other countries, so it doesn't matter: "There are filthy places in other countries". "There are corrupt politicians in other countries". "There are bomb blasts in other countries", "therefore it doesn't matter if they happen in Nigeria. Just learn to live with it". I really don't care if these things happen in other countries. Those countries are not my countries. I don't live there. I live in Nigeria! These things, filth, corruption and bomb blasts are unacceptable and a danger to citizens, therefore we must do everything we can to eradicate them, regardless of whether they happen in some other country or not.

Well said! But how does it affect the topic sir?

ocelot2006:

Wow! Hold it right there, missy! A thatched/mud house in Enugu? Now that's a lie.

Hell is her home sir. Liar! Quick-wins.

Virgin Finder:

You dropped out of school because of forex?!
O ma se o!!

Shut up sir.

Biafra diplomat: I will certainly post the same roads she posted above, every one knows that motorcycles have been banned in Aba for many years, yet she is showing commercial bikes in her pictures, what does that tell you?

Fact!

Texas.Cowgirl:



Are you telling me that Nigerians have become desensitized to these conditions?

No. I am telling you that Nigerians face reality, we are dirty-GBAM and we want to be better (which we are doing) but flaunting our dirtiness is not part of being better. It is mockery and wanting to be noticed. And please the fact that we are the giant of Africa does not have any connection with our dirtiness. For Jah sake America is the most powerful country but France is by far more tidy than America- so that issue of giant or not is an agumentum ad hominem

joseph1013: Hello Poster (that brought all of us here to see technical jargons we cannot even decipher),

See ehn, when it has to do with this FOREX thing ehn, giving up is GOOD oh. You lose all your money on betting and you still want to continue? Please where are you getting the money to gamble, sorry trade? Use that money to stay a viable business or better yet photocopying your CV to distribute all over Lagos. The probability of being called for interview and hired is more than that of winning in FOREX oh.

The thing about this FOREX sef be say, na your people wey sabi pass you (managers) dey bet against you. Can you imagine your professor going for the same job interview as you? How you wan pass am?

I no say some people dey make money, but the percentage that make the money 90% of the time and lose all the money the rest 10% is so fvucking high.

Anyway, I'm not the one giving you the money to bet or gamble or trade, whatever, so you're under no obligation to listen to me. But you be my brother as per OMO NAIJA. So listen to my advice and start photocoping CVs sharperly sharperly. Buzz me I might be able to help with a job (no guarantee oh)if you qualify sha.

I like buy you beer! What's your brand?

Texas.Cowgirl:


What do you think the aim SHOULD be?

Realistically speaking.

Nothingness of course! If I see or can think of any I won't be asking you what is your aim. If you think the pictures will gather more sympathy and hates from the readers hence trigger them to act, trust me it won't! We have seen worse! So my dear, this enterprise of yours will only end up here and remains a dirt itself

I have one question for Whoever is posting these pictures! What is the aim? Do you want us to start weeping for what we already know and see everyday? Or do you want us to pick up arms and fight the government for not cleaning up the streets? Or maybe you want us to do it ourselves. Whatever your aim is I am sure it is unobtainable so why not just spare us the visual disturbance and talk of something that will boost our intellect or our pockets? IamAnigerian.. #FrEemanDavid

Omo_Tier1: Jesus never sent you to preach about Hell! When He was about leaving to meet our God, He said..."Go yea into all nations and preach THE GOSPEL..." Gospel means the good news of the salvation which God has brought to humanity without prejudice.

No man will ever get saved by the threat of a message of Hell fire, rather, Gods redeeming works and His power to save is in the message of repentance unto righteous by accepting the ULTIMATE sacrifice of Jesus, wherein His blood was shed on the cross and His body broken that ALL man may no longer live under the bondage of sin, death and grave.

I repeat, the message of Hell fire will never set any man free from the bondage of sin and death so why not preach JESUS and let the HOLY SPIRIT convict that soul and set them free for eternity in Christ?

Ignoratio Elenchi

To say 'Atheist are fools' is enough to conclude the insanity of some of us here! For the fact that you believe that there is a God that controls and determines man's existence doesn't make you sane or a better being and it doesn't make those who differ from your beliefs any less a being than you. I am a relativist and a Pantheist but that doesn't guarantee me labeling those who don't patronize my beliefs as fools- it is sheer mediocrity and absolutism of the highest level. As for the topic at hand, Hell fire gospel no longer win bread for the rabbi'...... #FreemanDavid

Cyber crime is one of the crimes regularly committed in Nigeria and this has made the federal government to ensure in every capacity that this virus is being taken adequate care of by introducing the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and other law enforcement agencies to help curtail this 'virus'. However, despite the efforts made by government to curb the problem, it has yielded little results and the situation is deteriorating. This is because the issue of cyber fraud have taken different dimensions, using various communication gadgets as the world gradually move into a "jet age". It becomes pertinent to observe therefore that numerous crimes are committed daily on the internet with Nigerians at the forefront of sending fraudulent and bogus financial proposals all over the world. According to Ultrascan Research Institute, about 95% internet fraudsters are Nigerians, the evolution of fixed wireless facility in Nigeria for instance added another dimension to the cyber crime problem.
Cyber crime brings down a nation and no doubt Nigeria has had its fair share. Economic activities have been crawling as foreign investors are not ready to come to Nigeria because of high number of cyber fraud. The aim of this article is to bring to our(Nigerians) consciences that this cyber fraud is a killer of our reputation both home and abroad. Nigeria is seeking a place in the UN Security Council and this have been supported by some nations while some nations also opposes it, with such scenario at hand then Nigeria is vulnerable to the danger of being deprived of the opportunity to be among the countries that make certain "world decision"; we tend to lose global trust and integrity. It is pertinent to note that globalisation have contributed negatively to cyber crime in Nigeria even to the extent that many analyst now wonder if globalisation is a blessing or curse! Whatever the case may be, with the introduction of mobile phones, e-banking, social networks like Facebook, twitter,BBM, yahoo, etc. Which are used by cyber fraudster should be strictly monitored.
Parental guidance should also be a means of combating this virus, I.e parents should ensure that the gadget used by their children must be used for the purpose of which it was bought, parents should ensure that they give their kids strict rules before handing over any of the aforementioned gadgets to them.
Also, cafe owners have been a means by which this virus has been spreading; most cafe owners collect bribes from cyber fraudsters and allow them access to their equipment which has been zapping to the situation.
No thanks to social impetus like Olu Maintain's "Yahooze" and D'banj "Mobolowon" which have been a drive and footsteep for the contemporaries signifying their style and taste!
All hope are not lost as the EFCC. Have taken a bold step in ensuring that cyber criminals are seriously dealth with. Available records shows that from 2003-2007, about £1b illegal transaction was blocked and in addition, about 97 cyber crimes offences were being handled within the same period. Also, 70 websites that provide cloned services for criminality with the assistance of the IC3 Complaints Centre in the United States. Apparently, if these steps continues, Nigeria will be no safe place for cyber criminals!

Play your role in kicking out cyberfraud from our country! It might just be you who's next! Report any "Yahoo boy" to the agencies!

Nigerians! So this thread has been channelled down to tribalism and tribal conflicts!... Well am not surprised. Get a life y'all and dont forget to wish "tonto" an happy married life if she finally see her Congolesse hubby! /Just my opinion/.

Ejiné: In all, the part I found the most interesting about this outburst, is this:



I'm glad she knows; because a notorious, bleaching, chain-smoking 'general market' isn't exactly my idea of a wife material.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhaha

buJu-234:
this is what happened when people stop to study the bible 4 themselves
and allow someone else to do the studies and interpretation for them.

The day Christians will decide to do personal bible study at home; that will b the beginning of the
fall of these False MOGs... because of this; thats why the false MOGs make member to stop believing that
they can contact God on their own expect through them...

Bunkum.

Cheda:
If they abandone it,what should they stick to?

May be to Indecency acting!

pd piper pippen: Ogbechee or wateva u call urself u are a big fool, its sahara reports that u get get ur heaven forsaken info frm, I pray u die slow, may ur habitations be 4eva desolate, u son of d devil

Misplaced priorities. How can you curse someone on a public site like this?.... You deserve to be shot*no jokes*

oluoma1: For God's sake why is it dat dis same man(plati) is denying C.ronaldo his blessings, by givin messi d world best player dat he did not laboured 4. Penny wise palm foolish it is not fair. arsenal fan. Man u go 4 it.

Bunkum! Ad hominem.

slim147:

Oluoma1, you should have spent time watching a ram fight, first , we are not talking about c.ronaldo , messi or the balon d' Or here. Sorry maybe you didn't read well or didn't understand what you read. And platini don't give or name balon d' Or , its selected by votes from football professionals , football legends and top retired Managers ok??

Hahahahahahahhahaha... Mute! Seconded!

oomen: Mercenaryx,i am not in anyway writing this to spite you.Could you please,kindly modify this post and change your "brought" to BRING.A past tense doesn't come after the word DID.You actually meant to say;did christainity bring...? It was a mistake i know,from a slip of finger maybe.I think christainity actually came to salvage the african race.

Thanks for the vocabulary lesson!...(Unsolicited though). How did they salvage Africans?

Maxwellmbah: UEFA!!! make una stop injustice, the coach just express is own view about the match, which is normal. As for his conduct on the pitch, the match ban is much... So is the money... And this issues of ban and misconduct by coaches...UEFA is not being fair at all... They see some and ignore others....That is INJUSTICE

And so?

ekeroyal:

You're very correct bro. don't mind haters like mercenaryx who know nothing about soccer, I guess he's a Chelski fan. Wenger has always said the truth when it needed to be said, he isn't scared of the poo heads running UEFA or BPL or anything. He's a soccer god no doubt and nothing can hamper his philosophy in and out of the game.

1. Am not a "Chelski" fan, I am a Barcelona fan.
2. We are not talking about Wenger's skills here but his behavior and manners.
3. Lastly, Wenger is not on my hate list and Wenger is even better than Guardiola in my opinion but am not just okay with his irk manners. #just my opinion.

Aladinn:
Aside last season 2nd-round loss to Barça where AW complained about the official, which was right, where have you heard AW complain after losing a Uefa match? Okay, you'll milan. Aside that, any more? Please remind me.
Did i hear u say AW is a 'bad loser'? I gues you don't know wen apropriate to use such phrase.
For those coaches you mentioned up there, whom i also respect, add AW to the rank. He's up there with them. Do you know who developed George Weah? Victor Ikpeba became the prince of monaco under AW. I tink you are too young to know that.
And did i see Ancelloti in ur list?
Bro, you're not a Sadist, as you want people to tag you. You are Psychotic

Ad hominem! But I'll overlook the insults and go straight to the issue.... Playback Arsenal Vs Olympiakos 2005/2006 and you'll see more of Wengers brouaha, pardon me for not putting AW name among the elite list because if you can read proper you wont find Mourinho there so that shows that its not a list of world best coaches but just a list of good coaches who rarely criticize Uefa's decisons. Lastly, you talked about AW making Ikpeba a better player!Seconded! But that is not the issue at hand, AW is a reverred coach and a master at what he does but his words and charisma betrays his creativity!... #just my opinion.

It's no news again that indescent dressing has gripped most youths in Nigeria. The issue of guys who put on pencilled and tight trouser has raised many eye brows(gay). Can we say it's allowed for a man of God to wear this "pencilled" trouser?

Kudos to UEFA (call me Sadist if you like). Wenger has always been a bad loser who cannot control his bunkums coming out of his mouth, I seldom hear SAF, Cryuff, Vicente, Ancellotti etc complaining incessantly of poor Uefa officiating and all these aforementioned coaches are my miles better than Wenger so I'll recommend 10 match ban for the "Prof" (both domestic and Uefa matches).... Just my opinion.

twinstaiye: The bad blood between Platini and Arsene!!! You will but noticed it each time they need to punish Arsene or his players. 3 match Ban is too harsh IMHO. Trust Arsene, like he used to do, he will surely retaliate by criticising some of the works of UEFA in a few weeks to come; and UEFA will be waiting again each time he misbehave.

Biase! Biase!! Biase!!!
