Its an idiomatic expression - wouldn't be easy for you to understand. That is why we ask everyone to please stay in school. US is good and yet US citizens travel and move out of the US. That moving is tantamount to the state of the country is why you are where you are. We draw causations and associations. BurnaBoy is over there buying cars I never dream of. You can speak success into your life...OR japa too. Did I stop you or your family?

CheapHomes1:


how many years was Rome built?

is 25years and a day the same thing?

pls how many days is 25years that you feel people should not complain and desire for a better life as Nigerians?

if Nigeria was so good, what are you doing in the US?

I was in jss 2 then

I remember watching Nigeria 99 that we hosted then, Ronaldinho was still an upcoming player then,

What else can I remember?

Anything I remember, I'll unravel it one by one

Finished secondary school. Ojo high school, agric bus stop

SoNature:
Without fear of contradiction, I can proudly say that democracy hasn't worked in Nigeria. Unfortunately, there's no better alternative!

Democracy can only work when the people make it work. It is not a magical tool. Democracy hasn't worked for Nigeria because Nigerians have refused to play their part well for it to work.

Boarding school. Jss3 getting brainwashed by education

same here too. I could have attended a technical school. We thought university education will make you soar high.

How many very smart people entered into the Military? Most smart people chose to be Engineers, Accountants, Doctors...growing up, you will hardly hear anyone saying I want to be a soldier...so of course we have what we have...but the point still remains, who born who to touch the soldiers during the Military regime. Even Journalists will post stories and relocate lol. Dem born you to stay in the same office and discuss human rights lol. All these SERAP...I just laugh. See how much Abacha stole...who said pimm...being alive was the ultimate goal then haha.

Vinnie2000:


You are Talking about Diehard, Semi-Illiterates Head of states like Buhari, Babangida and Sani Abacha.

In Yakubu Gowon's Military Regime, Human Rights abuse was minimal.

I was in secondary school SS2 precisely I participated actively in the elections I actually voted three times at three different polling units where I registered. The local government elections came first and witnessed massive turnout because everybody knew the contestants which was why I voted multiple times.
The presidential election came last without any turnout yet with high result figures due to ballot box stuffing.
After that electoral cycle I decided never to bother myself with Nigeria elections anymore because the people votes don't count at a point during the run up to 2023 generation elections I was beginning to doubt my stance but 2023 elections turned out to be the worst since 1999 worse than 2003 (Moris Iwu's INEC).
Mahmoud Yakubu didn't do well in this election and the Judiciary has lost it entirely.

In 1999, I was quite young, just entering my teen years. Reflecting on the past 25 years of democracy in Nigeria, it's evident that while there have been strides forward, challenges remain. It's crucial to address the discrepancies between the aspirations of that time and the reality today, striving for a democracy that truly serves and uplifts all Nigerians.

Farewell to Nairaland. I've been jonzing. My mates no dey here..

Jeez!

He was inaugurated just a few days after I finished writing my WAEC.

and part of the subject of literature where you got "idiomatic expression" from, there is also a word known as "sarcasm". am surprised that since you stayed in school, you have no idea what "sarcasm" is even when you see it.

my questions still remain which you have failed to answer.

1. how many years was Rome built?

2. is 25years and a day the same thing?

3. pls how many days is 25years that you feel people should not complain and desire for a better life as Nigerians?

4. I didnt ask you about Burna Boy. if Nigeria was so good, what are YOU doing in the US?

Watching Nigeria 1999 live in the stadiums...

Twenty Five years of unbroken democracy, how has Nigerians fared?

I remember all the events that preceded May 29, 1999. There was excitement everywhere that at last the military was exiting the political stage in the annals of our history but today a lot of people will tell you that things are not in any way better, especially in these last few years!

The question is, Where were you and how old were you in 1999?

Is this the democracy you hoped for?

Are we there yet?

I was in my JSS 2 class 😂😂.

Holluwhakemmy:
At the right place

You were swimming inside your father

Was in Secondary School, junior Class

I was watching the ceremony when nepa took light and didn't bring it back again that day.

I'll never forget it.

On my way to Port Harcourt final destination is Bonny Island (Project – NLNG Train 3), my first time on the road for more than 8 hrs.

Coolestguy2023:
Na that year 80% of nairalanders papa and mama just dey knack the knack wey brought about there existence

Guilty.

I honestly don’t care. Naija spoil since. Our curse was being ruled by illiterates to begin with. The educated ones who started after independence were too ethnic-minded to rule the nation properly.

I had not existed yet, I was much happier and in a state of nothingness but everything changed in 2002...

Hmmm 🤔 I could remembered vividly then,when I was singing, dancing, even though then I was still in my primary level, I still believe in my country will be great and I will be alive to witness it and my family.

VinnyBaba:


I was in Primary School.

Then When I returned back from School, I used to Buy N10 beans, N10 rice and N10 Kpomor to eat as Afternoon food.

Now eating N1000 meal looks like eating Biscuits and Pure water.

That's #30 meal for a school boy? Lol. You're a very big lair. I could remember, during that time our parent will always gives us #5 if we did not eat before leaving home in the morning, out of that #5, we will eat morning food and break time food and still have enough money to buy babadudu or lebute or icekongi on our way home in the afternoon.
