EPL fans are just too childish! Every other team loses, nobody talks. Barca loses & they just can't dead the matter & move on.

Whatever you like, call messi, none of you guys can ever get a player to match his quality in your teams in many lifetimes to come. I'm sure if he says he's coming to Chelsea or man utd or arsenal you will gladly sell your whole 1st team to have him.

I will never understand this extreme joy of seeing barca lose, they're not even celebrating the winner as much as they're trolling the loser. Smh

ARE YOU IN PAINS ?

See a Doctor.

When I saw the match scores last night, I shouted for 5 minutes stretch.

Chorus shouting..

If Liverpool could qualify last Night, I will never give up any of my dreams no matter the magnitude of the opposition.

A single Rail Truck will ferry 20 containers out of Apapa at once and place them on container trucks at a far away distance to be ferried, yet the sea port has no rail tracks. Just a 20 feet gauge will do great work in and out of Apapa wharf.

Suffer head sophisticated people

MetaPhysical:
Abeg stop speaking of that mediocre Obi in sqme sentence with a high performer like Fashola.

Obi that sat in government office over 6yrs and the state IGR did not even increase 0.001%. Who is Obi?

Sir, if Anambra makes the IGR of Lagos, Anambra will be like New York.

I don't even compare myself with Anambrarians. They are the most innovative set of people in Nigeria. In their city state.

MetaPhysical:
No one else live in igboland beside you ibos. Your people used to take pictures of erosion and upload on internet. What happened that we dont see anymore even though they still occur regularly? We would like to know. Are you people suppressing information over there? Hiding what the general public need to know?

Oga, Yoruba people full Igbo land. Some are friends, former colleagues and tenants.

Some have started buying land to develop in Igbo land, married Igbo wives and born half caste looking kids.

Stay there, make trailer climb your okada.

ogmask:
What in your opinion will Atiku do differently if he becomes president.

Your level of exposure made you ask that question.

No two people, in fact no two illiterates will lead exactly the same way.

And you know Atiku is no illiterate.

Every single person has a minimum standard they can condone in life. If you have worked in a multinational or top corporate environment, you won't ask this silly question.

If you have seen, not even entered Atiku's office and the remuneration of his staff members, you will know Nigerians including you, deserve a better life.

To correct his brain.

Correctional facility.

Many police gra gra men need correctional classes.

No be your papa work. Remain humble or humble go humble you.

Brown Roof Republic.

This one be like celebrating Niger Tornadoes..

Most people don't like paying for electricity.

Since last month, 20 days without light, I have spent 5 times my bill on generator. But poverty won't make people reason well.

Peter had money b4 he became governor...he has no case has never been indicted like the others....the others are busy building estates ...Peter build the largest mall in West Africa, to boost economy and create employment....if these other criminals did same, we wudnt b complaining...even those other criminals that have companies like Tinubu will still syphoned government money thru their companies and enforce the governor's they installed to keep on feeding the companies with contracts solely... With all the money they hv , they can't run a thriving business outside our shores cos they are weak business men...they are only smart at stealing

You are very right about Peter Obi.

He inherited a family wealth of over 100 million dollars which he continued to grow. And Peter owns companies in places like South Africa and for him to succeed competition against businesses like ShopRite in SA, he knows his onions. I won't call Obi a thief.

Huawei have been making us proud since the days of John the Baptist,no wonder they dislodged iPhone from No2 spot in the world..

Is Huawei an Igbo Man ?

Sai Barbarian...

Very useless news.

Arrested government that have no plans for the youth.

Only arrest arrest everyday.

North is the problem of Nigeria.

Africa is the problem of the world.

And half illiterate Yoruba people combined with northern almajiri said it's an illiterate that will lead Nigeria out of poverty.

Let them continue stealing. None can near me.

Atiku is a Fulani, yet to vote a literate person hard them.

Village Arrangement

I am trying to understand this whole nonsense..

Is this a female version of Alexi Reporters ?

megareal:
Please explain.

Most people don't eat healthy.

3 bottles of beer daily can cause kidney or liver disease. Excess soft drinks can cause illness. Etc. While natural food like what I mentioned can go beyond a step beyond natural Food to Drugs.

Eat natural, stay far from sickness.

My sister eat bitter kola, chop avocado pear and it's seed. You will dey alright.

Stop making Oyibo feel funky with daily drugs.

Imoh555:
You reek of dumbness and stupidity... Everyone is not struggling like you are... I can swear you don't have food for breakfast where you are typing this nonsense from

Most of them supporting buhary are either driver , mechanic, gateman or generator operator. Driver who is driving his own car is even better.

Don't argue with these calibre of people. You cannot win them.

I am seriously thinking of opening an Oil and Gas company.

What a beautiful family

Where is aunty Tonto?

She is taking her drugs

I have not seen NEPA light abi PHCN in the past 17 days, even if it's One Hour. Visited their office 3 times, made several calls.

Oshiomhole, Minister of Darkness Fashola and Una illiterate Oga, God will punish all of you.

God will punish more anyone who voted an illiterate to lead Nigerians.

Litmus:
Nigeria is not an easy country to quantify in such terms. For instance, I watched a Youtube Video featuring this African American guy whose market angle is on African Americans retruning to Africa. He says he likes Nigeria but he does not really. In any case, one of his trips to Africa was to Ivory Coast where he travelled to a home he considered example of the kind of lifestyle African Americans could expect if only they but travelled to Africa. Well, it surprised me (meaning I wasn’t impressed, sorry). In Nigeria, a cousin of mine who regularly complains of poverty, lives in a 18-bedroom house, all rooms En-suite. All floors of the house Italian marble. Home is well-furnished in combination of local carved furniture and western ones. They have TV and computers, American style fridge and while they don’t eat yoghurts and hams they eat beans, yams plantains, gari, pounded yams, fist, fruits indomi, bread, ovaltin, biscuits, soups, Adidi, portage, crabs and the rest of the stuff Nigerians generally eat now and then or often. He is unemployed and earns by renting, running a small church and Keke. We have offered to sponsor him to come abroad but he refuses. In the area he lives in Warri Delta, he couldn’t in truth be considered upper class or even middle class nor could he be considered poor. He does not own a car but majority of his mates own cars. These people couldn’t be classified upper class. Nigeria is not an easy place to quantify. With Nigeria, it is best to employ the term Relative.

You said 18 rooms en suite. And he is unemployed. Obviously, he didn't build that house but a wealthy relation did. He is simply a care taker and cannot even afford a car or maintain one.

That guy is just existing.

From your description, his earning power is close to zero. Rent comes once in a year and it looks like windfall, even if it's N500k, the middle class being described, actually earn such an amount every blessed month.

okeniti:
I can't talk for other places in Nigeria, but from what i've seen in Lagos I would say yes. Anybody who has at least one source of income (let's say NGN150,000 net monthly the minimum) that allows them to save/invest, keep roof over head, pay for living costs (and dependencies to an extent) and enjoyment through the twelve months of the year to me is middle class in my own opinion.

You said N150,000.

Assuming you want to save and buy a car, after two years your savings cannot buy you a fairly used/direct Belgium car assuming a save rate of N50k monthly. The comfortable middle class don't consider how much they spend on an item, rather quality and comfort top their considerations before cost.

In Lagos, with its long queues in traffic, can N20,000 comfortably fuel your Rx330 to work, church and club for one month ? No Nada. So what is N150k ? N1.8m a Year.

You don't know what is middle class.

aaronson:
Wow, There's a lot of ignorance on this thread, So this my people don't even understand class struggle, Ok let me break it down.

There are always 3 classes in a social strata, The upper, middle and lower.

*There upper class are the politicians who don't work but enjoy political extortion and loot via thier political office, to them looting is like a perk of office.

*The Middle class are the business owners of any society. Whether you Dangote or Emeka and sons ltd and you happen to employ somebody, that automatically pushes you to the Middle class status.

* The Lower class are people like us always looking for jobs, from the highest earning staff in NNPC, Banks etc to the lowest earning staff at your various company are all in the same category of lower class because the day they SACK you. It's back to square one for you or nothing. Karl Marx calls these set of people, the proleterait


This is what Upper, middle and lower class means according to Karl Marx. Now the American society is more of middle class society because they are many business owners than Nigeria. Here in Nigeria(The best country in the whole world anticlockwise), There are more people working regularly job than starting thier own business hence putting us in a lower class society strata.

May our Brain help us not God because am Atheist so i believe in thinking than skydaddy.

From your definition only politicians are upper class. You are very wrong.

So Buhary is upper class while Dangote, Otedola and Arthur Eze are middle class.

Your definition is faulty. Seriously...

Elldeb:
capital No....and Buhari is not responsible for that because middle class disappeared long before democracy came in1999.
babagida is culpable in its disappearance.

No brother Obasanjo reforms in the Banking and Telecoms sector of 1999 to 2003 brought back the middle class. Even the stock market boom of years earlier than 2008 grew the middle class. Ring tone millionaires were members of the middle class.

I was also a member of the middle class for long under PDP where you fuel your car tank to the brim and use it till it finishes then you refuel it to full again.

You buy drinks, soaps, detergents, milk in cartons. You have every little thing in its abundance yet you are a mere salary earner who does not engage in sharp practices or corruption.

Teewhy2:
Guys, Happy workers day.
I would like us to make this as interactive as it can, Lets ask ourselves this question
Is there Middle class in Nigeria again?
for some of us that who like to know what the middle class is, this is a social group between the upper and working classes, including professional and business people and their families.
So do we still have this group in Nigeria, Many of us know that the rate of unemployment is on the rise in the country and out of the ones that are employed statistics shows that 80% are under employed, that is to say only 20% of this people are gainfully employed.
In my own opinion ( you can share yours in the comment section) I want to believe that 5% are in the rich class maybe around 10% in the Middle class and the remaining 85% are poor, forget all these cars you see people driving around, how many of them can fill up the their gas to the brim and not feel it in their pocket, a lot of people living in the island before has started moving to mainland{ Note not to GRA on mainland} to rent apartment and the ones not moving to the mainland are moving to the outskirt towards Epe. the people on the mainland are moving to other neighbouring state and claiming second Lagos, or Lagos extension.

I saw in a newspaper article the below and am shocked.



This is to say some other west african countries are living a more quality life than most nigerians, I want to believe in most part of the world where people where being are important the middle class are like 80% of the population.
so the question is what is the government doing to bring people out of poverty in the country.

APC N10,000 TraderMoni is meant to tackle poverty.

Since I was born, I have not seen such a useless government. They keep talking about corruption as if anti corruption creates jobs, pay salaries and when you talk about poverty, they mention TraderMoni.

These people no get brain o.

Barca don score

Liverpool No Shot on target.
