Seriously, I have been reading comments here on Frontpage in my ghost mode, I can swear considering the fact that this is Africa's and Nigeria's largest forum, the comments here isn't encouraging to anyone seeking solace in this country..

The hates, negativety and naiveness is out of proportion.. Anyone reading through comments here will think that Nigeria is one slum, archaic and blinded habitat..
Common Nigeria isn't that bad undecided..

The Hate and negative comments is too much and uncalled for..
I feel bemused and saddened when I read these hatred here and sometimes I feel like getting emotional, not because of how bad the country is but because of the mindset on some of the habitats of this country..
I know am doing fine, living fine, and I know whole lot of folks living OK, fine, and they re all hustlers as well..

I really feel you. The problem we have as a nation isn't only about leadership but our laziness. Some folks of mine are just too lazy to come up with anything reasonable. Their energy is channeled into complaining 24/7. They come on a platform like this to drop their loads of complaints and expect some form of miracles to change their situations. I'm not doing as good as I'd wanted but I'm not doing badly as well. When I'm not financially good, I know why and I try to get it corrected asap instead of fuming all over the place. Give them a million bucks tonight, they'd be here next week to complain of being broke and that's why I always say something is wrong with our reasoning.

Yet the misery and degenerative society keeps getting passed on from one generation down to the other!!!!! Look at the rest of the world! Look at countries that were literally razed down after world war 2 (Germany) and look at where they are now and compare it to your country. Even look at asian countries that got their independence around the time Nigeria did. I really need to do a case study on Nigerians....Perhaps its that hot sun that has fried your brains into docility!!!!.....Keep believing ok?
ain't going to argue with u, I believe mostly the problem of ur kind is not been contempeted with what u have. Always wishing to be where u aren't. Why compare Nigeria with any country? Haven't u heard or learnt not to compare in life, do u know what German, Asian citizens are facing on their own, do u think their is a safe haven where nobody dies? U stay far and judge people by their looks not know their own shortcomings..
Do u even know that some European and Asian countries u worship has the highest suicidal rates.. If everything is okay there, why is that?

Ain't got time for this thing but learn to be contempt with what u have..

you are among those people he was talking about,must we always attack each other even not only politics, he said the right thing, we re blessed with bad leaders, Fine but we the citizens also are part of the problem because our enmity is grade one, we can’t agree on one thing. Those who went to Russia didn’t go through financial aid from the government rather they felt they have the financial autonomy to watch the matches in Russia hence they left the country, now they are now crying foul over there and the government wants to repatriate them, some people are still cursing, blaming the government. We re not ready for change at all because even if Nigeria becomes heaven on earth tommroow some people will still complain. Nigerians keep tarnishing our image outside the country, to even show your passport at the port of entry will be a torn in the flesh, drugs, illegal migration, fraud, that’s what we re known for and we keep blaming the government on everything, is Nigeria government ruling Nigerians outside the country also?. We need to change our attitude, money without hardwork is what we want. May God help us

To some people,probably someone like you,Nigeria might be an el-dorado and heaven on earth but for someone like us who have done everything needed to be done but still do not have any tangible work you can call job would be filled with hatred towards the country that can,'t guarantee anything for her citizenry.Hence,the vituperations of many towards the country and the leaders irrespective of the parties....

Like I said, its very clear you don't live in Nigeria. There are basic things that are just absent what is so hard in having 24 hour electricity, that is not a luxury in 2018. many people want to start something but the system just opposes progress. People are struggling in Nigeria, even those with average pay let alone the huge percentage living in poverty

yes we don't have basic amenities and 24hrs security and nobody is happy about that.
But u need to know 24hrs electricity isn't a safepath to unending happiness.. Countries that has 24hrs electricity still ain't contempted. They still crave for more.

What am saying is that nothing should warranty one spreading hate and negativity on his own country cos that in anyway won't help the situation..
Self happiness is the key bro..

Seriously? Trust me it's better to live in Nigeria than to be stranded in Russia or any country for that matter. Most - not all- of the people stranded in Russia did not intend to stay in Russia. Some of them have businesses they're running in Nigeria. Russia isn't a country to 'go and hustle ooo' cos they're no jobs there .

P.S: Great initiative, Mr. President.
