*sigh*gov’t doesn’t care about us one question why should gov’t care about you? yeah I know we are their responsibility but then again If I was johnathan or any president I wouldn’t give two f*cks about the Nigerian "common man", Nigerians go cross leg and be waiting on gov’t to bring heaven down to them when they can also contribute to change and development, ,Nigerians undermine any idea gov’t comes up with,they accuse the gov’t of lies and corruption but they worship the feet of men of God who are actually friends of these corrupt politicians,they lynch petty thieves in the market place but form bodyguard and PR for the same politicians they label as thieves later then at the end of the day them go line up to collect rice and that's it vote don sure, please which gov’t will happily claim those kind of people, if you want gov’t to care about you them make yourself worth caring about

Mutuwa: No be lie o! Na only for naija fairly used products good pass new one..

mrmagoo:



This is the height of stvpidity You know what? I have your time today why do we now have a gov’t when we are supposed to do everything on our own?

severee:
Is it security issues? how about investing in the Nigerian police force? All they need is to be professionals starting from their weapons patrol officers shouldn’t walk around with assault rifles that is for tactical assault teams but there are stun guns and rubber bullet guns which can be holstered + surveillance gadgets like cameras etc, police officers should be trained often on work ethics that has preserves human rights and at the same time maintain order so where are the Nigerian inventors to create these weapons they've been complaining about not getting recognition isn't this an opportunity to make money and even create that recognition that they are being deprived of ,secondly police officers have to feel good about being police officers they should like their jobs and be scared to lose it, their workforce should be trimmed down to a useful and manageable quantity so resources can go round and there should special treatment that comes with being police officers like discount on shopping and special perks that make them like their jobs and at the same time there should be a platform for people to reach out and report rogue officers, when them begin sack them 1 by 1 them go behave, but where are the venture capitalist that can manage police salaries and pensions to prevent embezzlement and teach the police officers how to invest their money what of the personnel management that can structure and organize the NPF it is not so much black and white I bet there are grey areas in which you can make your contributions
Is it unemployment? How about our schooling system stop training workers and start training entrepreneurs,we can make FG demand contract staffing for everyone(with full benefits)and teach workers the power of investing and running your own business being one of its options(that's if stock options are too expensive) if they like u they renew your contract this way work will go round and nigerian man will learn to depend on his hands rather than waiting for someone to employ him
Is it electricity? Two problems in this sector power generation and power distribution , about generation, we have solar sources we have coal, natural gas or even nuclear energy the point is why aren’t we working on developing other sources of power generation where are the research teams? Do they know the opportunity that awaits them here? even though its to go retail and provide accessible and affordable solar powered inverter generators that can provide 24/7 electricity for everybody that will work both for the people and the pocket of the inventors you don’t need to wait for gov’t to give you the go ahead. as for distribution knowing the total population of Nigerians is a start saying "we are about 170 million" is wrong we should know specifically how many we are who are the rich who are the average who are the poor who dey work for bank etc we need to know all these information about everyone so where are the statistician or programmers that can design database softwares that can make population census easier ,that can distribute not just electricity but other amenities easily to people in an organized manner and make money for you the inventor at the same time
Is it healthcare? Exercise often eat healthy and visit the doctor for check ups at least once a year keep a clean environment and maintain good hygiene this is primary school health education but Nigerians do non of these even though you know the way hospitals are in the country, take a look at the sector sef see the case of NMA USE YOUR INITIAVE why aren’t they selling health insurance to people? If they even make it as low as 500naira them go see the returns, Why didn’t they ask FG to force the hand of multi national companies in the country to finance procurement of standard equipment and necessary R& , where are the awareness and fund raising campaigns to generate funds for their requests even the teaching colleges what are they using the tuition fees for? I attended school in Nigeria and I know how much they paid and how many people kill themselves to study medicine and surgery how about expanding their specialities even if it means all 18000 of them contributing 1000naira each month and investing the proceeds in stocks and assets to raise money or even solely controlling the flow of pharmaceuticals and dermatological products in the market there were lot of ways to develop the health sector which they would incredibly benefit from but instead they went to FG to give ultimatums? and rallied round tv cameras screaming solidarity for ever and embarrassing themselves.
Is it corruption that one no hard it starts with you the keywords are intergrity, accountability and discipline teach your children these virtues don’t let them cheat on their UTMEs anymore instead push them to read all work and no play makes jack prepared for a tough world , teach your friends religious leaders teach your congregation let the message go round in such a way that it becomes subliminal in the minds of nigerians, also every working and business sector should have an in house organization the promote disclipline and support for members of these sectors whether its the union of barbers or union of bankers/scientists even politicians yes they should register with the civil servants and if there are any news or complaints of unprofessionalism or corruption from any member of that union, it will be the obligation of the union to not only support law enforcement on such a person they should also be sanctioned by their union just like tb joshua and the collapsed building CAN should support law enforcement agencies in investigations and charges and also sanction the pastor for endagering the lives of citizens you won't be able to bribe any judge na because the judge belongs to a union watching his actions and sharing the same vision for the country. If this is effected properly corruption in this country will at least slice in half
Is it terrorism? See whether America is sponsoring boko haram or APC or PDP, your offensive and your defensive determines your victory in battle for offensive, why don’t you enlist in the NA to fight insurgency? Them say bh get sponsor ehn make we sef sponsor/support our soldiers, imagine they were complaining about poor living standards and nigerian just throwe face like say e no concern them if the money we set aside for tithes was actually donated to the NA I’m sure it would have gone far in the maintenance of the soldiers why aren't we running a military procurement/contractor/consultant company? I believe Nigeria has reached the level where we can develop our own weapons its not government that invents weapons its not the military either its people like you and me that invent these things then your defencive how are we protecting our streets our homes our working places why can’t we consult with counter terrorist officers on precautionary steps to take what campaign is our religious community organizing to discourage violence and terrorism or to save misguided dudes from becoming potential boko haram insurgents afterall its manpower that is the strength of BH and most of them are forcefully recruited or brainwashed we sef make we brainwash people into peace loving and law abiding citizens
So what would you prefer? To achieve these things with our own blood sweat and tears or to keep criticizing gov't from an arm chair and hoping that some day God will touch their hearts and make them remember us?

barcanista: Honestly, this thrash is destined for the joke section, whoever pushed it to the frontpage deserves to be thrown into lions den.

What a joke of a thread!!!

Crap

severee: Fela sef talk am say "if you suffer for world na your fault be that” observe the mentality of a Nigerian

1. When a Nigerian buys a newspaper he goes through the first few pages which cover terrorist attacks,political mayhem and poverty but when he gets to the IPOs and business ads he rips the paper up and wipe his a*ss with it

2. Nigerians use their upfront salary to buy a car ,rent an expensive flat and get married then when money finish, they go Nigerian standard of living sucks

3. When it comes to mingling in Nigeria Yorubas hate igbos ,igbos hate yorubas while Hausas hate them both then later they give the suffer head speech to succeed in Nigeria its who you know

4. Nigerians prefer to rent a house while building another house rather buying a house on mortgage while building another then they wonder why real properties belong only to rich people

5. Nigerians be like I can only take nollywood seriously when their movies start becoming more creative and competitive then half of a yellow sun and October 1st come out and then Nigerians be like mtchew I go come watch Nigerian film for cinema when alaba dey there

6. Nigerians be like Nigerians consume more than they produce Nigeria cant move forward if we import more than we produce then MINDA phones come out and d’banj brings out koko garri and Nigerians be like yeah right like I will risk MINDA phone exploding in my ear and d’banj dey sell garri when e mates dey win grammy

7. Nigerians be like security in the country is very poor what is government doing bla bla but when security announcements or programmes are on tv they be like f*ck this sh*t I’m watching a telemundo

8.Nigerians grumble about how we suck at soccer but then when NPL is on Nigerians be like mtchew EPL wannabe I don’t watch such

9. Nigerians be like I’m tired of the hardship in this country and the solution is to forge account papers and travel papers ,get out of the country then go assume a dead persons identity or contract a bride to fool authorities into granting me citizenship,after all that they begin to wonder why the nation is so corrupt

10. Nigerians be like 70% of Nigerians live in poverty and deprivation how many people can boast of eating three square meals then NGOs/charity organizations come up and Nigerians be like SCAM!

11. Nigerians complain of how dirty and disgusting Nigerian environment looks then they slam dunk a plastic bottle in the middle of the road then take a piss in a nearby gutter and sleep during sanitation days

12. World bank calls Nigerian economy the largest in Africa and Nigerians be like mtchew largest economy where the people survive on less than $5 a day bla bla then they wonder why foreigners(who took advantage of the opportunity) boss them around in their own country

Moral of the story: do your part and appreciate progress even though as you say they are mediocre, sometimes in life it’s the little things that pack the biggest punch.

Happy independence day

Then you should have placced the name of ur blog there for everyone to se as well.
There are several blogs out there,how will I know which one has demanded permision now if another blogger places it on his blog?
If I place this on my own blog and you place it on urs and a neutral person sees it on both how will he know the one that took permission?
But if you sent him a private message and he permits and then you go ahead, if that neutral sees it on ur blog he won't know betweenn you and the nairalander who the real source is.he very likely would think the nairalander stole it from ur blog.afterall the Nairalander may have copied it from somewhere...No comon sense,and am sure you are a graduate...every monkey and baboon wants to blog.

But you can short sell stocks you don't even need to keep it for long, you can stop sell the stocks so when it reduces In value to a particular price it automatically sells itself there are many more types of investment like mutual funds,real estate,business startups etc I read this in high sch when I started learning about the stock market, jobs are no longer the surest/most secured way of accumulating wealth if me and you join about $100 each month in a year its $1200 that's quite a enough to invest in something beneficial.
Investment club and sophisticated investing in derivatives but on what fundamentals. Na high school them teach you this but na secondary and grammar school full ground for here o.

The point is do the one you can afford and always think about tomorrow if the girl can't wait till you know where u're going then perhaps y'all should split its a loveless marriage when you are broke anyway
we on the same page here but once again socialisation and peer pressure not resistible by the majority.

Dude if you can build a house and rent one at the same time, then you are ripe enough for a mortgage loan and as for the interest loan buy the one your hand fit reach you can even Forego staying in the mortgaged house , put it up for rent and use the rent money to pay your mortgage loans that's two properties to your name
yes and no,not at over 20% interest u're not

The point is nigerians don't support the movie industry too much ,I mean you can blog about the movies, get special permission to rent out these movies or even get permission to sell cheaper tickets on your blog and split the profit with the producer
Just imagine what if about 60million nigerians patronized nigerian movies at the cinema and we asked for a deduction in ticket prices or we walk you think they won't reduce ticket prices sharp sharp? Support the industry the higher the demand the lower the price, basic economics

dude na we get industry abi na them.abeg they should arrange their marketing channels (Use hotels and school halls for premieres and charge like 50 or 100 for the masses and instead of trying to fleece the few middleclass. Shior,who lose,not me.
All electronics have warranties its the rule whether 6 months or more is left to the discretion of the manufacturer and once again my point is "support infant industries" and it will be worth your while

good luck getting your warranty from "nigerian" company.its already worth my while to buy tested and trusted brands.he nigerian companies should either reduce their prices till they build a brand name(see how the japanese,koreans and chinese did and are doing it)

Gov't will never tell you to jump off a cliff to save yourself, every gov't lies when they want to reduce panic I mean you can remember how january 27th ended for nigerians becos of panic,sometimes the press put words in their mouth and twist stories to make it more interesting, and sometimes sugar coated truths is a way of communicating with ignorant people who don't know any better so its our responsibility to discourage journalists who abuse their freedom of press rights and discourage ignorance as well so people can take us more seriously

did the press tell them to deny yardua's death for almost hundred days,or egwu to throw 128mill wedding while universities were on strike or fuel scarcity or....see i was in the military and most of them in sensitive office are incompetent.

That's not an excuse if you buy tickets, talk about matches famz their teams,promote sponsorships,(trust nigerians) people will see a goldmine and start trooping in to become soccer players and then the SE coaches will have a truck load of talents to choose from , now that's a good start

chicken or the egg.no body will buy tickets to predetermined match unless its wwe

If you wan travel that's your biz no body is stopping you but acting like jason bourne when travelling and then accusing you gov't of corruption is hypocrisy and hence cycle will continue unless we take personal decisions to be more honest and transparent, it begins with you

.chicken or the egg. jet govt make this place conducive firstif you cant beat them join them

I don't think that's true hell NGOs don't even pay taxes plus I happen to have done voluntary work for some NGOs in nigeria no scams there my friend

was really refering to oyinbo ngos. But most mailb ngo na scam,(fine bara)

Dude don't litter,dispose of your wastes responsibly and keep a clean and healthy environment, if you see someone littering be the person to pick it up I don't think you need buhari or any leader to tell you that c'mon


game theory tinz ain't nobody go'n do shitt without motivation (pride,koboko,fine,reward) sad but true. I carry my litter around till i see a trash can but pp just laugh at me

So so true bro. I like that part:especially in Lagos.
