Expectation is not the same as entitlement. The point of educational achievement is that you expect a certain standard of living to come of it.

When you wait and wait and still end up not seeing it...bye!

My whole post was pointing out why it is that people flee and why it's not farfetched to anticipate that they will. Brain drain happens all over the world and not just in Nigeria.

Not quite...

Apart from the reality of NO guarantees...
Education is merely a TOOL, not a job application.

The real value of education is the development between your ears...
Even in the US and UK, many graduates end up serving coffee and driving Uber.

Sadly, the reality is that certification is often mistaken for education in Nigeria...
With proper education, the range of opportunities in this country is virtually limitless.

Of course I am...

You don’t need political position to make a change...
Even merely imploring Nigerians to change Nigeria is a start.

Calm Down. He is only JOkinG and doing what he can for the RePUBlicanPaRty. SinCe he has no option. It is through their banner he became the president of the UnitedStates. What A feat to ~AChieve~Where were you when your DemoCRatic paRty denied him access to being PReSiDent three 3》GooDtimes . The man is a COmedian and into ShOwBUsSineSs.TRUMP is not RaCist. He actually grew up with my GRanDfather in N.y.C. they went to the samePRivate schools and of the elite circle. used to play in COneyIspanD PaRk every Saturday. Do you find much elites in those tiny towns that support him?
IvanKa and melana were both immigrants in the year 2000s in same modelling team#
I know all these things. New York made his family and who he is today. He would forever be GRateful.
Anyone taking Trump seriously will only die of unnecessary hypertension,h.B.p and stress. It's like a placebo effect. When you put it in your mind that he's bad or evil, then bad things would start coming to you.
Everyone's state of mind should be clean & clear in this world for them to enjoy a PeaCefulexistence.

I Rest my Case

I will ignore the rest of your rambling...

But DOTARD TRUMP IS A RACIST!
That’s why the US government massively fined him for racial discrimination in housing years ago. SMH

Durbar Hotel was built by the federal government...
It was built before our times in the 1970s for the Festac ‘77 durbar.

Had no idea the Abacha family had appropriated it. Good riddance!

frowland:
The uncompleted hotel even have a manager! Lol.

Maybe they stripped it...
Because it was COMPLETED in the 1970s.

mu2sa2:
Hahaha, maybe it was rebuilt overnight and demolished again!!!

Nigerians and their CULTURE OF ENTITLEMENT...
Of course, most of us have human empathy, but frankly no one owes him anything.

Meanwhile, now that they've collected enough money, his health is "private" business. SMH

crossing state boundaries in search of knowledge

it's quite thrilling how people take unimaginable risk, I'm very sure God has saved this guy more than once to install a Lil sense in him but he finally chose death

Some of those who died in Abule-Egba this week were in their HOMES...
Just be respectful of the dead and keep quiet, instead of blaming the victim.

RIP to the young man

ECTDA under Onoh will soon demolish the entire Enugu, I wonder whether it is what they voted for in the last election. I was around uwani just last week and I noticed the massive demolition of people's shops and kiosks and other attachment to buildings where people do businesses to sustain themselves and I was wondering whether economy of that state which is predominantly a civil service state has so grown to such extent as to warrant such heartless demolitions?

GOOD!

Nigerians will b*tch and moan that nothing works in Nigeria...
Without grasping that it's because everyone is breaking laws/rules.

The architecture is mostly shabby and substandard...
Landscaping is poor to non-existent (don't they have a Horticulture Dept or even simple groundskeepers?). SMH

Nigeria has sunk below. One day at FEC meeting, Buhari will just look at Ngige's beards and ask Malami to bring razor for him. He will proceed to shave Ngige and ask Osinbajo and Malami to quote laws supporting his action.

I usually do not like the racist Dotard Trump...
BUT THIS RULE IS AN EXCELLENT DEVELOPMENT!

If we do not want our offspring born into this mess, we should work hard to fix it. My parents were born into that same US society that folks are rushing off to in a not so distant past (the 1960s) when black folk were still being lynched and hung in public squares in the South, separate bathrooms, water fountains, hotels, and even schools existed for whites and blacks (with the latter being of vastly inferior standards), and stores and lunch-counters routinely refused to serve black folk. In fact, NIGERIANS HAD VOTED IN ABOUT 3 NATIONAL ELECTIONS BEFORE US BLACKS WERE GUARANTEED THE RIGHT TO VOTE (pursuant to the 1965 Voting Rights Act).

About 20 odd years ago, Rwandans were busy slaughtering other Rwandans in an orgy of genocide. Yet today, less than a full generation later, Rwanda has long ago grown into one of Africa’s (and the Third World’s) leading lights. Nigerians should quit with this interminable Blame Game and Otherisms get on with the business of fixing Nigeria (if not for themselves, for their offspring they claim to care so much about), because ultimately Nigeria’s condition is the culmination of the acts of ALL Nigerians (either by commission or omission), and personally I am glad that the racist Dotard Trump is kicking Nigerians up the “shit-hole” to concentrate our collective minds.[

Dude stop deceiving yourself

You call this scorching heat good weather?

Not feeling out of place? In this country where NOTHING works? I love how you conveniently ignored the constant feeling of frustration when trying to get anything done is this hell hole, oppression from SARS etc..

No racism? I guess you've never witnessed or experienced tribalism before.

Getting to see family? This is the most overrated sh!t! How many people actually enjoy the company of their nosy, dramatic extended family?

Look take me abroad, give me a chocolate goddess and 3 kids and il be the happiest man alive!

Fix your country like they fixed theirs....
People create nations, not the other way around.

larry90500:
Getting a building approval is very important, before undergoing any form of construction. Now that school and the uncompleted building are going to be demolished, without compensation.

The look on those children's face though, like say the boy wan beat the man

The school that collapsed there a while back was similarly illegal and unregistered...
The dislocation of those children will be short-lived, but hopefully their very lives will not be!
>

TRUSTEDGUY:
I hope they were compensated oo.

Why?

Jankara Market was closed sometime ago and the traders relocated elsewhere...
A bunch of squatters move in, and you want them "compensated" for their illegality.

I have a dream, nobody go wan travel out, SARS go help boys do naming ceremony, police go see muscle he no go shout PARK!!!

Mumu talk. If I have that dream na nightmare. For I will wake up crying. It can never happen.

Rip to the victims. Terrible way to die

Why? He should've been on the next flight back...
There's nothing he's doing in London that someone else can't do.

BSO might be a good (even great) Governor someday in the future...
But right now (8 months into his tenure), he's done little other than take pics and issue statements.

RIP to the deceased..

Mftivi:
you are out of context now. He didn't ask how market appreciation benefit average Nigerians, He asked how does what the op was talking about benefit average Nigerians. You are out of point just die the matter if you can't stay within the scope of the discussion.
If there is no real driver behind market rally it will just die down or even totally give up the gains the next day. I wasn't joking when I said you have no practical experience, what you speak of cannot be brought about by what the OP posted.
I can write a whole book on how market appreciation benefits the average people, but that is not the topic here and that was not the question asked.
If that guy takes your advice at face value and maybe invests in the equity market just because of the sudden rally the probability that he will get burnt is very high.
I don't see how you can disagree with me on that and still claim to be knowledgeable.
A sustained bullish rally in the market is brought about by good economic policies and market cycles (even the cycles are induced by economic policies that aim to keep a balance between inflation and deflation) and the effects on average people can only be felt long-term.
A couple of investment bankers made money, brokers made commissions etc not much was made by average Nigerians, average Nigerians can benefit from short term moves only if they are actively trading.
I understand his question and the context, you don't.

My instinct is not to dignify these increasingly churlish Strawman's Arguments...smh
Nonetheless, I will humour you with my response to a post right above your response to mine.

9jaRealist:
The NSE ended the year 2019 as the SECOND-WORST performing stock market (out of all tracked markets) GLOBALLY. What exactly has Buhari done in the 10 days of 2020 that you believe has single-handedly changed the trajectory of the market?

The continued (and, to be brutally honest, quite childish in many respect) Strawman's Argument drivel is IRRELEVANT...
Even if the market goes into a free-fall TOMORROW, nothing to prevent said "average" Nigerian from selling TODAY and walking away. SMH
