The President of the federal republic of Nigeria ordered a lockdown for Abuja FCT, Lagos and Ogun states. Just look at your obedient citizens who cares about stopping the current pandemic. If we started doing massive testing I would wager that a good of over 50% of the population will be infected. Out of that maybe 25% will die off. Right in front of a police checkpoint too. This is why I humbly respect Buhari to send army to keep the enforcement. And I specifically want those northerner soldiers that have that wicked tribal mark. Maybe they pretend but the one sin the 80's don't speak english or Yoruba so you're pretty much bleeped if they catch you.

EgunMogaji2:Koboko laden with chilly pepper + flogging + chopping of fingers + long-term in prison + confiscation of stolen or looted assets + Chinese style of punishment = A better Nigeria other than that, it is not yet uhuru, the pictures below is my suggestion for stubborn and disobedient Nigerians :, I am ready to take the contract for supplying koboko and chopping knives to be used for the punishment

Op sir this is very good of u to return home after retirement, this has bn wat u had in mind don't allow anyone to challenge ur decision . U saw countries like Vietnam, Thailand, u didn't go to retire ,everyone has his/her own choice. Now u have taken urs sir, i really appreciate that. I personally have an uncle that has bn in the states for more than 50years now he went wen he was abt to enter university and hasn't come bck home since then even though he has retired and all his children are doing well there, he his planning to come soon bt cos he lost one of his leg could be a challenge over here , anyone can take decision that suits him. |

Nigeria was not always like this. Things have slowly degenerated over the years. I cannot imagine how a person who goes by the book can conveniently do business or work in Nigeria. I will never work or do business or earn a living in Nigeria anymore because of the level of frustration involved in existing within the system. The absence of the "rule of law" is one of the biggest if not the biggest problem in Nigeria. "The rule of law exists when the constitution functions as the supreme law of the land, when the statutes enacted and enforced by the government invariably conform to the constitution. In addition, no one is above the law, and everyone under the authority of the constitution is obligated equally to obey the law" This does not exist in Nigeria. The law is not equally enforced and there is so much injustice in the system. In theory, there are supposed to be 3 coequal branches of government. However, the executive branch wields majority of the power and has crippled the legislature and Judiciary. The system of checks and balances does not exist. Nigerias problems are systemic such that we need the force of government authority to solve them, and the cleansing needs to start with the government itself. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Yankee To Naija: Thoughts And Experiences by Mancala: 11:39pm On Apr 08, 2020 |
Beautyaddy: We Nigerians are a special breed. We often do wrong things, not because we don't know what is right, but because it is almost impossible to survive in the country without taking short cuts and cutting corners. It is extremely difficult to fight against the corrupt system. Take for example, if you determine never to pay a bribe and you're earning a living in Nigeria, you will end up extremely frustrated or even dead. You better have the number of a top federal government official on speed dial to rescue you out of the different compromising situations you will find yourself on a daily basis. Like Mr EgunMogaji, I bring my money to Nigeria to enjoy myself. I don't depend on anybody for anything. Provide my own water, electricity, transportation, security etc. I will no longer come as a citizen. I come as a foreigner and register with my consulate when I get there so as to have a dependable ally in times of trouble. I do not have the strength nor the desire to fight battles at this stage in my life. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Abdulquadrimuha: Salam. Nigeria is our home and this pandemic has driven it home more. Hopefully our elected leaders will have a rethink and finally start investing and upgrading our infrastructures. Good luck to you Sir and I pray that all your ambitions come to fruition, either abroad or here at home in Nigeria. PS: Your English is perfect. 2 Likes |

The problem with this scenario is that your friends don't give a sh!t about you anymore and you not so much. You've grown apart. Been there, done that. |

slashthroat: Against my better judgement, I will provide a singular response. "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people". I presented facts, many of which I have been a living witness to, but you pivot to attack my person rather than attempt to dispute or disprove my positions. Speaking the truth about ones country does not in anyway equate to hate. On the contrary, I love Nigeria and would love to see her situation improve in my lifetime, even if it's only back to how it was when I left. You know absolutely nothing about me yet you present nonsensical grandiose assertions like you know me like that! This much I know. When people start hurling insults at you rather than addressing the issues at hand, you know their minds are closed and there's no point in further engagement. You disengage yourself as quickly as possible from the situation. 6 Likes |

EgunMogaji2:Thanks for this sir What advice would you share for some of us who are just starting out with our careers? |
Re: Yankee To Naija: Thoughts And Experiences by EgunMogaji2: 6:25am On May 21, 2020 |
Olalekank: 1) Decide on what professional career you want and focus on it. Doctor, Lawyer, Barber, Chef (person that cooks for Mayweather gets paid $1K per plate), Mechanic, Plumber, Surgeon, Astronaut, Politician. Decide and focus on it with a purpose. 2) Get a hobby and be good at it. Golf, Fishing, Carpentry, etc One of the people I follow on Youtube was a professionally trained Architect in UK. She couldn't find a fulfilling job and then she started doing her hobby of furniture making. She moved to Nigeria and is now one of the who is who in custom furnitures in Nigeria. She's met the Prince of Wales via this furniture thing. 3 Likes |
