I wonder what kinda country this is.I just have to come to the conclusion that this country is as good as gone.
Only some months back,reports were on the dailies about the illegal checkpoints on the seme-badagry road.These dailies had carried out detailed investigation and urged the authorites to do something about it(mind u this was not the 1st,second,third infact countless times such report had been on) including then president obasanjo openly promising to look into the issue,and yes he did.But these checkpoints disappeared for only days and were back again.
I frequent btw benin and nigeria almost regularly and it was to my shock to see only 3 checkpoints as at last 2 weeks from seme to agbara(which is unusual).normally we see close to 15 checkpoints.i just said 2 myself while driving,i give them 4 days,and they'll be back.but i was dead wrong.the following week,i passed by and still saw the 3 legal checkpoints.I was like,finnaly Nigeria is changing because we heard that a taskforce had been set up by the authorities to clear the illegal checkpoints.BUT as i speak ow,2 weeks after,boys are back 2 work and this time,with more commitment to make up for the lost days and u know what i mean.
I wonder what else will be done to stop this,if the president could not,taskforce could not,i just wonder.

Is that why you say Nigeria is finished? There are many more important things that happen which have worse consequence than this. I guess people only see what affects them.

@ehoi
u r right.but u should know that for me to come to this conclusion,i have seen a whole lotta things that are even worse than this.just take a look at the headlines(even here on our own nairaland).But i did hope to pass across a message,that nothing works in this country simple as that and I'm sure u know

Your topic is misleading. Come to the Niger Delta and you will know check points is part of our life. We are tired of complaining, even President Goodluck Jonathan can not stop it. The only solution is to bring back toll gates so that they can now have an official place for their daily collection from motorist.

Your topic is very misleading, i thought Iran has fired some nice missiles into Nigeria

Fhemmmy:

Israelis wont allow such abomination I'm afraid. Remember, there are Igbos who claims to be the lost Jews or something. Israel will quickly retaliate on iran. lol.

They have been say Nigeria is finish, may be before some young men were born. Do not give up so easily.
