honor4me: I tell you, people don't know how bad it was in the 1980's. You mentioned calls...I came from a family that could be described as middle class, yet in the 1980's we could not afford a NITEL phone. To make calls we had to go to the nearest NITEL phone exchange to do that...for local to international calls. (There is a reason why David Mark said back then that telephones were for the rich). Now, we can make international calls from anywhere (and even then also has to do with the steady march of technological development to some extent). Even computers...a computer was something you saw in some offices (and most officies back then had typewriters, not computers. Bank nko?) now they are in many places...including market self. |

prezee1: While Lugard is responsible for some of the mess Nigeria is in, I will not blame him for our underdevelopment. Our underdevelopment is a product of the idea since independence , that we can sell raw materials, and use the money to import our needs. To be developed, we have to use our raw materials to develop goods and services for the global market. That will enable us to earn enough forex to meet our needs, and provide all the jobs that we need. 3 Likes |

I wish the British can recolonize Nigeria again, take power away from Nigerians. The days of our colonial masters was far better than what Nigerians are forcing through the throat of our people. Buhari said he was going to offer change, but we failed to ask him what change he was going to offer us, now is clear like DSTV the change he was talking about. Bigotry, Ethnicity and religious nepotism, poverty, political witch-hunt, religious cleansing, making cows more valuable than humans. British, come take settlement back, we no longer want independence anymore. We need British rule again |

Eriokanmi:The average Nigerian carries the mentality of a secret cultist who uses number to judge supremacy. We are just few poor countries merged forcefully into one huge budget sharing country. That's why any thread about African development is always littered with talk of numbers and some phantom neighborhood 99% cannot afford. 1 Like |

Educationalserv: That's the thing, there comes a time when we have to stop blaming the colonial powers for all our problems. Blaming the colonial powers serves a lot of useful political uses...you can mobilize a mass of people by saying 'It is their fault' while saying that the problem comes from within may be truthful, but won't get one votes at all. |

Aderewah: Stop blaming youths. It is this useless buhari govt that is the problem. I was working part-time in a foreign ngo wanting to kickoff special breeds of tilapia and poultry. It was supposed to employ at least 40 personnel in benin city. They just put everything on hold due to reports of insecurity and astronomically high cost of feeds. That was supposed to be an experience for me before going to start up on my own but now I'm disillusioned. Bleep that pigshit buhari |

ArcFresky:China was a bulsh1t country of poor people. They looked round the world and saw that people love gadgets and equipment so much. So the Chinese built factories for manufacturing all this gadgets and equipment. People used to laugh at them that "Made in China" is a fake product. But today, everything is made in China and their whole nation is rolling in money . All their youth are employed. - Nigeria looked round the world and saw that white men are using latest gadgets and equipment. Nigeria went to import the gadgets so that we too can rub shoulder with whitemen. We didn't build any industry. Today, there's no money to buy the gadgets and all the youth are unemployed. People are kidnapping each other to get ransom money to buy phone and credit. 3 Likes |

Nigeria is a mess and the suffering just began. I wonder how the unemployed and poor are coping. The way you Nigerians are rejoicing over Kanu's arrest,one would think that Nigeria's problems are over. Someone actually fighting and creating awareness of the rot in Nigeria regardless of his mistakes is being insulted and ridiculed. Enjoy your One Nigeria plunged into darkness by corrupt politicians. |

There was no NITEL setup for phone -late 80's, we lived in Ijanikin (toward Badagry). No phone. No NITEL Setup for phone. -late 80's - mid 90's, Yaba. We had NITEL phone. -90's to mid 2010. Ikoyi. Initially a phone and later the total collapse of NITEL. No more NITEL phone. we were always going to NITEL office to complain about phone line and get them to fix dial tone for us. It was quite stressful and ultimately NITEL collapsed. Each person bought their Nokia phone. Basically, we always had a phone where NITEL setup was available. But the service was bad O and expensive. 1 Like 1 Share |

The number of jobs are shrinking and the number of people looking is growing everyday,” said 46-year-old Julius Oshie, a job agent for the past five years, as he explained how the job market had dramatically changed. There you have it, one of the big unemployment issues is overpopulation, it is more bad to a country without innovative pratical ideas to create jobs/employment. Also,an unfriendly government policies with thieves in high places... It will get worse if we continue in our bad ways of doing things. Just the other day, madam finance minister said mass employment won't be happening any time soon. The thing MDAs now do is that, if a director retires, they spilt his/her salary into six or less so as to employ six or less new staff. |

Its painful really painful indeed. The reason we are in this mess is simply because the sector that should employ all these youth is moribund. Thats the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing is dead in Nigeria for one single reason. The Agricultural sector that is supposed to provide raw materials is non existent. Until the government decides to revamp the agric sector. It will only get worse. When we are shouting on the top of our voices for a switch to Mechanized Agriculture someone in Aso rock is still talking of grazing routes. Even the few farmers who go to farm will get their produce either eaten or trampled on by Cattle herds. So we should prepare for the worst. |
