Breaking News

I have considered my own dear nation a failed country. I spend some time daily thinking about the ways things are happening in Nigeria. I always feel very cold at the end of each session. When I think of the poor standard of our educational institutions, I begin to reason that the country is unknowingly producing junks as future leaders and even future followers. What is the expected quality of education from a child who went to primary school in a dilapidated school building, went to a secondary school that does not have good teachers, the necessary books, adequate classroom blocks and no discipline. Later went to a high institution that provides him/her an opportunity to bribe his /her way to acquire a certificate . Finally graduates, spends 10 months searching for a N20, 000 job and in most cases, gets none.

I am very much convinced that Nigeria is now completely out of control. The EFCC has arrested and tried a handful of cases, how many of these offenders have gone to jail? Deprieye Alamesiayha scooped so much money from Bayelsa, he made a plea bargain, an went home. He's enjoying his life in Abuja at the moment according to reports. Tafa got the Nigerian police force officers and men having stomach ulcer when he withheld and embezzled over N10B meant for serious projects during his administration, he was merely asked to return the loot and got just one chikili 6months behind luxury bars. whereas an unemployed Nigerian got 6 whole years for making an attempt to defraud a whiteman. (am not saying the act is good though). Now do  you know how many police men that suffered humiliation because Mr. Tafa held on to the fund meant for police development? The police man goes out to work angry, with gun in his hand, anything can happen.

 I also heard, Dr. Odili was asked to refund N23B just few days before the PDP presidential primaries. Where did he get all that money? These people lack conscience.
Otherwise, they cannot open their eye and scoop public fund the way they do. Again, no punishment!

The N19.5B aviation fund is currently raging. Airport Tower contract inflated in excess of N4.5B. Where is this money as we speak. Those responsible should get 50years in abakiliki prisons period.
What about the ajeokuta steel project? I started hearing of that project since secondary school. That was about 20 years ago. Billions of dollars have been poured into it, and up till now, my country is still on it.

This country spent billions of Nigerian naira in the National ID Card project. Today, story says the ID Card lacks some important features, so, we may need to travel that same road again. How much was actually spent in hosting CHOGM, and the All Africa Games, any news? Billions of tax payers money of course. The All Africa Games, I can bear but the CHOGM, purely an unnecessary venture.

Some months ago, a newspaper report revealed that a committee set up to find out how much it will cost Nigeria to construct a Nigerian-Cameroon boundary came out and said it will cost USD25B. If you allow naija, she will embark on that project. 

Who got the contract to dualize  the Lagos-Onitsha expressway? Any news? Wow, check out how messed up that is. But where is the money today? All paid to the contractor. Nobody is interested to call for a refund.

At one time, I heard about the sale of Nigerian airways. There was trouble and rumble in the land. Some bigwigs in charge then made a kill. some got USD3 M, used it to finance their governorship elections. The law enforcement gurus knew, FG knew too, they kept quiet. and to them that benefited, No shaking Nigeria!

All the money that was gotten from Abacha, where are they. No good accounts. How much exactly do we have in the federation account, we simply don't know.
Whats going on in the customs today. Barned goods still make their ways to our warehouses. How much exactly is Nigeria actually making from the customs and Immigrations. We just don't know.

Ok, the electoral tribunals sitting in different parts of the country annulled the elections of many (serving?) politicians, but they are still in office.

Freedom of info bill has been a very bitter pill to the members of the National assembly, why? What do they intend to hide?

Who really owns Ota farm? Or OK, Where exactly is the location of the Operation Feed the Nation demonstration farm? Answers please. I pray it is not the present Ota farm that OBJ is making mouth with.

A report has it that Nigerians are the most enduring people on earth. Another says Nigeria is the worst nation to do business whaile another world agency says Nigeria Is a Failed Nation. This report that says it is a failed Nation considered very well, all our intellectuals, all our footballers, all our oil, all our agricultural land, all our mansions, skyscrapers, our beautiful Abuja city etc and still came up with this judgment. Do you doubt the report? How much did the 2006 census cost, the Abuja stadium, how much was spent in the swearing ceremony of President Yar'Dua. Please find out details. Then you will realize what am actually talking about.

With all the maladministration of IBB, Abdusalam and Obasanjo, what has been done to these gentlemen. Nothing!

Why has an average Nigerian lost interest in patriotism.
Why are we having wahala in the Niger Delta region today? And if I may ask, why did the FG allow the Niger Delta issue to get to this point? The Niger Delta trouble got to this point as a result of the insensitivity of the federal and state governments, period.

I am forced to believe that we have consistently had the wrong people in government, even in the present administration. Am sorry about this. A government that has watched the decay of infrastructures without any successful answer to it should seek spiritual answers.

I give standing ovation to some Nigerians especially Dangote and Dr. Mike Adenuga for having the mind to make such investments in Nigeria thereby creating thousands of jobs. I don't know how these people made their money from the beginning, but the good thing is that they invested it in Nigeria. Let others try like them now.

Do you realize that Nigeria cannot cloth herself? 90% of all the clothes worn in Nigeria today are either from China, or Okirika from Europe. Just a few ankara are made in Nigeria. And our govt does not see any problem with that. Even electricity sockets, toothpicks are brought in from china. Any shame? no. Thats very ok.

Hospitals nko? No problems.

CBN tried to cut down inflation by bringing in lighter coins and reducing the sizes of 5,10,20 and 50 bills. Ok where are the denominations? Please calculate, I got just C6 in maths, but find out the percentage increase in a situation where a bus fare that you paid for the previous day at N80, you are asked to pay N100 today. whats the rate of increase?

I traveled to Abuja by road from Lagos for the first time. I was surprised to see the condition of the road. This is a road that should be constructed as a super highway together with the construction of Abuja roads, having in mind that as the Nation's capital is being moved from Lagos to Abuja, that a lot of people would constantly make use of that route while shuttling to meet up with activities. Does our govt think at all?

The amount of money my country govt has wasted in NEPA is twice enough to yank off all the cables and other installations and carefully start all over to lit Nigeria.How can we even be talking about successful development without electricity. Even a conference on development in this country is a waste. In this 21st century, a nation like Nigeria does not have electricity.So when can we have it?

Therefore, country people, please do not crucify me for giving you this Breaking News. Am not encouraging you to run abroad, but if you can, please do.
This nation is bad!
I no fit shout!

George Bush's government is not a government of bullshit.

Na wah, ohh!!! so so lamentation for this thread, sha!!!!

@Poster

Good write up. We have become immuned to suffering in naija, any complaints of things not working right gets severe punishment from unexpected people, even some of us abroad are so confused about the best approach to solving naija's problems.

People at home? Some of them would call you arrogant for daring to point out the things not working out fine----- "so so too much complaint from Nigerians abroad", they would say.

Me? I just call Nigeria our modern Plato's cave.

@ poster, 9ice thread but please change the topic. Its not breaking anyti

  change in Nigeria depends on the people learning to stop accepting stupidity but demand change for themselves at all levels.

@ifyalways:

Tell us in concrete terms, how the Niger Delta problem will end. Give us also the time frame you have in mind. I believe this will help the FG to work  out things faster.
