After a while all the 5 political parties created adopted Abacha as their consensus candidate

Joezinho:


They are gonna say for the mere fact I can even write this is something to show for it or say I am less than 30 years that's why i love military rule.

Truth is , democracy has failed Nigeria. 23 years of uninterrupted years of democracy, what have we to show for it?

Almost all the laws were made by the Miitary, amended by the civilians, let them tell me one law the National Assembly has made since 1999 that has impacted their lives..

Despite being being under economic sanctions from Western nations Abacha declined IMF conditions for loan,grew the federal reserves..
Maintained the value of Naira at exchange rate of N22=$1 (through his 5years -never devalued Naira 1kobo), overhauled the corrupt banking system, reduced inflation from 54% to 8%,
brought privatisation policy implemented by Babangida to a gradual stop.

Our sporting achievements were at their best! We won 2 gold medals 1996 olympics, we won Africa Cup of Nations 1994..

Let them tell us what these greedy bastards have done aside looting.

BlueRayDick:


In 20 years time, a younger person will sit just like u’ve done and he will write the following about Buhari’s government :

1. Buhari invested heavily on infrastructure by revitalizing the railway mode of transport, he built railway tracks from north to south.

2. Buhari’s government defeated Covid-19 to the shock and admiration of the western world

3. Buhari created millions of jobs for Nigerian youths (Npower)

4. Buhari’s government signed off on the 2nd Niger bridge .

5. Inspire of global fall in oil prices , Buhari still managed to steer the affairs of our mono-economy .

6. Buhari’s government reformed our political process by midwifing the electoral act that introduced electronic voting .

7. Buhari’s government went after those who embezzled state funds and collected our yams they swallowed back from them

Then u as an older person who witnessed Buhari rule will just shake ur head in despair

Havertz10:
Orunmila Is real 2022 and somebody isn’t ashamed to say that

donstan18:

Social media freedom.

Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Nairaland access.

No stress yourself my guy. Any further attempt to state your mind will have them asking if you’re below 30. You’re expected, as 30+, to rejoice and jubilate over unrestricted social media access while the country burn down.

Griffon:


Hendo, Thiago and Fabinho can handle those three. These ones are just workaholics, Real only have Casemiro as the only hit man for that midfield.

nihilistjnr:


Bro trust me. Nothing better than to Japa and then comeback to Nigeria as a tourist.

Sleep in hotels all day when your mates are literally cooking in traffic. Enter clubs and bars at night with innit innit and small change and be very popular with the local talent.

The sweetest part of it is knowing that the moment Nigeria gets too much, or you start acclimatising to the madness of Lagos, you can just hop on the next plane and japa again.
.

Nigeria is really enjoyable for the expatriates and the neegas that have some small change. That's why you have all these politicians who have the wealth and the means to retire abroad continuing to live in that hellhole, cos mehn make I no lie you.... Nigeria is sweet, as long as you're not trying to run a legitimate 9-5 hustle.

Instead you d trying to ask us what we are doing to fix the country, bro you better be plotting your exit.

Havertz10:
guy presented facts about abacha, you are dismissing it because you weren’t allowed to gossip about authorities

how can you compare the state Nigeria is today to being unable to air your opinions

A001:

You're just making a fool of yourself in public.

You sound like some ignorant fellows that know nothing about the local cultures and their beliefs and are quick to condemn their religious beliefs, whether good or bad.

If an ignorant fellow says Orunmila is a fictitious entity, then that means Odua, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras are also fictiotius entities.

Your myopic views on many subjects are risible.

Maybe you think the Ifa philosophy (with many wise words) in Yorubaland just dropped from heaven.

It seems the average Nigerian is extremely dull.

When you're too lazy to read and do research, you'd not hesitate to talk ignorantly about things you don't know of.

Even reading literature (an example is given in the picture below) that compares Orunmila with Socrates and going through the corpus of wise words of the former (called Odu Ifa) in the literature and them exploring some Yoruba states in the South-West, if would take an slowpoke to say Orunmila, Ifa, Ogun and co are fictiotius characters when their contributions to region Yoruba are well-known.

If Orunmila didn't exist, how are you sure Socrates even existed since both of them never put any of their thoughts, ideas, and beliefs in writing, but it was their disciples that did so after their death?

What proof do you have that Socrates actually existed?

Only a fool will say Odua is a fictitious character. You can quote me when you're knowledgeable enough to discuss issues intelligently, and not by posting ad-hominems.

Joezinho:


Lol. You are right baba. Japa is the only escape route. Better to flee. I pity those that think these bunch of politicians can fix naija.

Naija can't be fix any time soon. The Peter Obis, Tinubus and others are all after one thing- their pockets and the future of their kids.

Bros, 2016 I had enough resources and opportunities to travel out of this shitthole not until I let someone talked me into staying back..

Long story short, 6 years later I am back to the travel section... No looking back once I japa. I don't wanna turn to pillar of salt abeg...

Havertz10:
inflation from 54% to 8% that’s remarkable, will need to read up on abacha’s regime

popizaino:





Nigeria is not sodom and gomorrah now

ShadowWalker00:

Mumu under Abacha.

You would have died since no be curse.

Atleast now you fit talk anything you like for Nairaland, you fit criticize anything.

Try talk anything about Abacha if no be hanging, yeye.

BlueRayDick:
Wike is a Madrid fan, make he no go chop double king sized L today o

popizaino:



I want liverpool to win but you can't underrate the experience of madrid midfield at this level.The trio of kross,Modric and casemiro are all hitmen.

Amoto94:
You insult me I report you to the mods I don't have time for unnecessary back and forth.

Havertz10:
i’m not scared of death, I think about it regularly, I would be stupid to be uncomfortable with the idea of death, considering the fact that it’s eventuality is unpredictable

I could die before midnight, i’m very aware of that, you can’t scare me with such bullshit

If freedom means broad poverty for my people, I would happily accept subjugation for the benefit of all

Joezinho:


Lol. The day I Stan any politician wholeheartedly is the day I stop bearing Joseph..

Nigeria has never been fair to those who do not carry a worthy name. I can't waste my time, resources and energy stanning some fvcktards that don't give a hoot about me or my fam..

BlueMann:
Kickoff delayed by 15 minutes

Thousands of fans without tickets got in.
