if obansonjo was the inventor of corruption, then what do u have to say about IBB?

Honestly I can't say much because I am talking out of experience..

Obasanjo's corruption and ignorance to ethic transparency affected me directly in so many ways..

My brother, when are we getting to this upper echelons of government cos these 1960's nicccaas don't seem like going anywhere soon..

Funny thing is that some Nigerians go to countries like Lebanon, Yemen, Oman for greener pasture. I swear if they dash me those countries visa I will just keep it at home and continue drinking my garri here except if am going there to be their president

So as to turn Africa into another Lebanon full of crisis?

Yobabad:
Is Islam there?

Islam dey there. It used to be thriving country in the hands of Christians until Islam took over. One unfortunate thing is that they will still migrate with Islam and later force their host communities to practice Islam.

where are those "flee nigeria crew"? some people are coming to teach u how to use ur resources while u go and struggle in another mans land

Lebanese people full Lagos, many mall owners that I have seen are mostly Lebanese, especially that lekki side... they no see America or Europe to go na Nigeria, Mumu people... from frying pan to fire

Yet the Lebanese that works here in Warri are treating Nigerians like slave. They talk to people anyhow, want to sleep with their maids and smoke as is their life depends on it.

I hope they treat host nations with dignity, honesty and respect

That should not be a demand...

Eko Atlantic, Eko Hotels, Ocean Parade Towers, Hi Tech Construction, Cool FM, Wazobia FM, Nigerian Info, Tin Can Island, Ragolis Water, Mouka Foam, AJ, Ratcon, Sweetco, Zartech, Wonderland, Amigo are all owned by Lebanese Nigerians

...There was a time when money flowing from Africa was used to build luxury villas...


Africa has tremendous potential. The governments need to provide enabling environments for its people to thrive

Simple things like security, electricity and business friendly regulations are enough to kick start the mind to productivity. Lagos has a semblance, though sometimes chaotic, of these that's why it will keep growing despite the endsars burning

You think it's easy and simple, abi? This is what people think when someone fails an exam. Give the critic that same exam, he will fail woefully.

You think those in power don't want Nigeria to look like Dubai, Singapore, etc, huh? So you sincerely, inside the inside of your mind, think that those in power don't wish well for their own country? Reason am again. IT IS NOT SIMPLE!

There are many moving parts. You compromise on one thing to develop another thing. Opportunity cost. Scale of preference. It's more complicated than rocket science.

Buhari was busy criticising those years before he became president. He finally became president, BOOOM, he's confused. The way you enter exam hall feeling like superman, but when you see the questions, your brain goes blank. IT IS NOT SIMPLE.

I think this is the first thing every leader must understand: IT IS NOT SIMPLE. Avoid any candidate who is saying that it's simple. They are clueless

And someone was posting pictures of skyscrapers in Beirut to counter me on the thread about a Nigerian lady being sold in Lebanon. I have always question the sanity of Africans trying to migrate to Lebanon.

This is just the beginning. The way the rest of the world is going, from Europe to America to the Middle East, there will soon be millions of them seeking refuge in Africa.

European economies are collapsing as we speak. The US is heading for some really rough times.

The clock is ticking.

You are the real mumu, you think they can own malls in Europe or America like they do in your country while you go to Europe to be a third class citizen.

If there is just one thing we can remember Obasanjo for, it is making Nigeria debt free

Obasanjo is the best president in Africa, Zero nepotism, zero terrorism, workers are paid well, zero recession, and then zero debt

U think say to open mall for america or europe easy?

Nigeria is one of the easiest and free country in the world if u have plans. they can easily start up a business and not get harassed since it's white people nobody go reason them but if it's a fellow Nigerian from another tribe just the fact that the tax collector's are looking at u from another tribe make money in their land e go dae vex them

Stop the scaremongering.
Lebanon's debt to GDP is 375% while that of Nigeria is less than 20%

Yh dat was wat i said

Tunde835:
In The List Of The Most Debted Nations In D World Nigeria Is Not Even In The Top Hundred Because Obasanjo Paid Off Our Debts When He Was In Power He Even Created An Offshore account For Storing Surplus Revenue It Was Valued At $ 2bn But Now Under Buhari It Is Now 73 million dollars, And Buhari Has Been Increasing Our Debt Profile

Wow clap for yourself.
So how much was in that account when Buhari came in?.
Rada rada.

Draught:


Obasanjo was the inventor of corruption in Nigeria, just stfu and stop ašš licking because he's your kinsman ... One good deed he did doesn't equate to the amount of atrocities he committed in 8 years!

God bless you for being so truthful.

Nigeria is one of the best place to invest when you have ideas and money .if you tell a rich man to leave Nigeria ,he will tell you he can't .blacks are hardly given opportunites abroad ,in some countries ,you can't even own companies if you are a foreigner .But in Nigeria ,when you have money ,you can start a business and make it real big without paying much taxes .That is why most of these Lebanese like Nigeria ,they live big,with police escort etc .they don't enjoy such luxury in their country.In europe ,you don't see any white man being driven by a driver ,they come to africa ,they have drivers ,servants ,gateman etc .nothing like that in their own country lol

Asquare84:
I hope our youth will read this, there is no place like home, some Nigeria will still go and quee in lebanese embassy begging for visa to go to Lebanon. But it most amazing how this lebanese maintain their dignity and self respect in there host country without saying any negative thing about their own country, unlike Nigeria that will bad mouth there country of how shithole is Nigeria as country

Please I need a beautiful lebanonese girl to be my wife

Many Nigerians don't know these ,some of these countries make it impossible or even difficult for foreigners to start something.Requirements are so much and moreover ,cost of labour is very high in europe ,that is why you see most of the things are produced in china where you have cheap labour .to employ a worker ,you will pay per hour and also insurance etc,so it is really difficult to be an employer of labour in europe .in Nigeria ,it's is easy to employ,workers are paid peanuts and less taxes .so it's much easier to start up in Nigeria when you have money .Nigeria problem is corruption

We might have low debt-to-GDP ratio however the good ratio to use here is debt to revenue which is not encouraging. It is not sensible to borrow more than one's income. We need to aggressively improve our revenue.

You seem to know their modus operatis very well. They will soon be grounded, along with their Indian brothers. The Chinese will cqn tolerate for now because we're owing them.

Most Nigerians are yet to discover this secret, it's more reason why things in the north is very cheap, Nigeria's labour is cheap but immigrant labour from some african countries is cheaper. In the north immigrants from Niger republic supply cheap labour that u got times 3 the price in the south that's why they have an edge over us in agriculture.

Anybody in Nigeria who discovers how easy and free Nigeria is would be so much in love with Nigeria that he would be going to foreign countries on holidays and would run back to Nigeria before the expiration of his or her visa

Indians own worst pass, Lebanese are more tolerant than indians

My brother, you're right as I've experienced indian madness. Left an Indian company in May and just resumed at another one on Thursday but yet to sign their contract. When the HR sent the stuff to me, I've decided I'm no longer interested. That's the first email I'll be sending tomorrow morning. I already told them I'm not interested but the Indian guy here in Abuja kept assuring me things will be OK.

Something just told me, he's gonna renege on his words after I've signed their contract. That guy lies more than the devil.

I have empirical evidence to prove Indians are much more wicked than the devil.
