They have a point but personally i can't wait to drop my surname and adopt my partner's.

Every time i tell people my surname, they just laugh at me.

Could’ve just stopped at the highlighted...

Meanwhile, you are aware that you can legally change your surname without waiting until you get married.

ZOO!

The only difference between most Nigerians and SARS is that the latter wear uniform and carry guns. Otherwise the sadistic mentality is substantively just the same. SMH

Like I said some are deserved to be beaten.. I am not that heart colded guy but talking from experience.. Infact, I organised some beatings for some girls back in the tertiary..

Before judging, the person those girl offended wanted to arrange Agbero boys to beat the hell out of them, but I reduced the beatings by organising some friends and did the justifications .

No remorse or regrets cos I wouldn't have allowed big bros to arrange agbero...

Dude, with this your grammar...
This only “tertiary” you likely saw was a prison institution.

ZOO!

And these are the supposedly “educated” ones and “leaders of tomorrow”. SMH
Said it many times, the only difference between SARS and most Nigerians is the uniform.

SalamRushdie:
Protectionism had never helped any industry on Earth ...Protectionism is similar to saying you will not allow your son school with other brilliant students so just he can come first all the time . Protectionism breeds laziness and industrial lackadaisicality

BLESS YOU!!!

For example, that Nigerian local rice producers began to invest in de-stoning equipment was largely because of foreign competition (specifically, consumers preferring foreign rice to the stone-filled Nigerian variety), and even then a significant percentage of local rice still has stone issues.

This is a cheap populist stunt that deceive gullible sections of the Nigerian population (assuming the government actually has a clue), rather than investing in seedlings, improved inputs, irrigation, storage and logistics that will improve local rice yield/quality while keeping costs down.

olutop:
The border closure is a good thing but what are they doing to mediate the adverse effect it is having on the masses, last I check we are running a mixed economy why can't the ministry of commerce regulate the price of local produce like rice instead of making it sky rocketing without improving on the quality. I think this border closure is just for there gain just to make those other country pay more duties and not for us to promote our locally made goods and make life easier for the masses.

It’s a DUMB own-goal...
Which does little or NOTHING to address real issues.

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn

I don't do politics

But i like this man for that border closure

I love him for treasury single account( although Jonathan's idea)

And integrated payroll system( also Jonathan's idea)
But as a real niggarrr i understand government is a continuum

Which means buhari is a real niggarrr

The border closing is a DUMB policy...

But you’re right that he tries to implement previous administrations projects...
Rail and TSA especially (not IPPIS, which started under Obasanjo in April 2007).

More disturbing however is his DICTATORSHIP tendencies. SMH

LabDNA:
How did he get it into the country. Must have bribed immigrations and customs I guess.

We have lions in Nigeria...
Although the population has been decimated.

Or perhaps he brought it in as a very young cub and told the foolish immigration/customs folks it was a cat.

Threebear:
But why are people blasting her ?
Isn't this the reality of NIGERIA?
Yes there are good roads in Nigeria but how many are they compared to the horrible roads we have .

You people keep claiming you want salvation but keep shutting down people who want to tell your truth .

Yuck .

There are mass school shooting in America...
Why didn't she stand before a US school with a gun?

Nigerians are the WORST thing to happen to Nigeria!

kingxsamz:
This is a very sad image.
If I tell you I'm happy to be a Nigerian, na lie

If you are NOT, then change Nigeria...
The countries you admire were built by their citizens!!

Zooposki:
A Kenyan woman made a comment that the West has so sterilized the women in Kenyan, by hiding sterilization elements in the vaccines they are being given, that their fertility rate has declined from 8 to 2, which is under the replacement level number needed to replace their population. Very soon no Kenyans would be walking the earth again, as they would have gone extinct. I just pity all the people accepting these vaccines. Their agenda is to depopulate Africa, and our stupid leaders don’t care since they are accepting kickbacks.

PLEASE WHEN WILL "THE WEST" INTRODUCE THESE VACCINES INTO NORTHERN NIGERIA?!

Ghanaians!

Seriously, though, if this was a Nigerian in Ghana those dwarfish trolls who invade NL will not let us hear the last of it. SMH

Kubernetes:
This is certainly not an Arab woman.Most likely from Indonesia or Malaysia.He is very lucky to have been given an entry visa to an Arab country.The religious laws in these country does not give room to these types of servage.

Which Dubai are you referring to? The one in this picture?
Dude, don't regurgitate stereotypes. Dubai is more LIBERAL than Abuja (and many parts of Nigeria).

OP does not know the meaning of "accosted"...

Meanwhile, what is the PETTY bitterness of some Nigerians over Bobrisky...
How does his crossdressing affect your life? Is he the reason for your failure in life?!

Twofoursix:
If you want to be rich don't go to school because the hardest place to get rich is working for somebody. We value money more than education. Most of billionaires we have today in Nigeria made it not by what they study at school.
For the fact that women are bad does not mean that they are not good. It just depend on which side you are viewing it from.

There are way MORE billionaires who went to school than those who did not...
Attending school gives way more skills than just what you study in the classroom.

The government should be arresting their PARENTS!
People have kids they cannot raise and then use them as free/cheap labor. SMH

Wrong generalization. The vast majority of Nigerians and Africans abroad are law abiding.

I believe the government can do better and make enabling environment for the masses, a landing pier at iyanoworo with a massive car park that can hold 5000 cars built in steps would go a long way in reducing traffic on 3rd mainland bridge in the morning.

People living in ikorodu can take a ferry from ikorodu to iyano woro, those from Berger or ogunstate can enter brt to iyanoworo and take a ferry to the island, the car park would make life easier for those coming from far, they park at the iyanoworo car park and take ferry to island or apapa.

A win win situation for government and citizens. Iyanoworo would be made like a ferry interchange just like oshodi since it is a central water way in Lagos. I hope the powers that be won't turn it into water front estate or luxury water front apartment.

so help us God

Isn't this basically what Ambode's Oworonshoki Reclamation Project was all about...
But now he's been unceremoniously dumped, doubtful that Tinubu has any interest in continuing it.

isthatso:
bump! did I not tell you the case would be thrown out?

Abegi, how does that invalidate my point?

She presented her EVIDENCE before the court...
And the court decided it did not satisfy the burden of PROOF, and dismissed it.

That is in consonance with my position...
The merits of her case will be decided by a court, not by public polling.

AcuraZDX:
The defense asked the court, asking for mercy and to allow Bah to return to his native Nigeria, a request the judge denied. Judge Adams told Bah, “mercy is not mine to give you. I’m not the one you should be asking for mercy from.”

If this happened here, some NLers will be defending him and attacking the girl!

Nvc078:
No, beside Fidelity bank. this is the second time this "Grave" of a guy is robbing this station in the last two months,he also robbed Penco limited at okpara square in broad day light last month.as am talking to you,he alongside his gang robbed a hotel along ossah and killed a security officer,who according to people is his kings man,the man was buried last saturday. He (THE GRAVE) attended the burial even though he has been declared wanted.the lady was lucky they didnt kill her because he hardly operate without bloodshed.

He will be dumped inside his namesake soon enough...

Kokaine:
exactly. No intelligence in exposing the video. An underground job should have been done to look for them while protecting the staff.

zoeA:
This one they have not been caught and their faces showing like that, is that filling station safe?

When should they show their faces?
After they have escaped from Nigeria?!

The idea of making such tapes public...
Is to aid the identification of criminals.

Its as if you just peered into my soul and wrote everything i wanted to say!!

Small thing u go dey hear Wizkid say " African Girl".. WTF does that even mean? Do we even know what it means to be an Hausa man, an Ijaw person let alone a Mauritanian?
Burna Boy's "African Giant" was so fucking cringey to me (not the content tho, great music)... like can't you just be a "Nigerian Giant" foggossake?
why must we always shout Africa? you hardly find these White people shouting "European Music" or "Amerivcan Giant" or any of that nonsense.

Its just another example of the subtle inferiority complex down here...

Btw, you have Eurovision (even EuroDisney) and 'American Giant' apparel...
Not sure why some Africans are so ashamed to celebrate or shout about Africa.

wasi9ice:
can European or American music festival hold in any part if Africa?

It would if you have as many Europeans or Americans living in those parts of Africa as you have Africans abroad...

DeLaRue:
The constant shouting of 'Africa' 'One Africa' has very little meaning to me. It's largely meaningless, quite embarrassing, cringeworthy and borderline irritating.

Building friendships, peace and extending a hand of partnership across nations and continents is worthy. But we must build our individual nations. I honestly don't feel any more connected to someone in Ghana, Mali or Sudan that I feel for Inuits in the far corners of icy Canada. My goodwill extends to all good people of the world.

Shouting one Africa all over the place means what exactly. Even within Nigeria, we barely tolerate one another. I notice it's musicians mostly shouting and screaming this one africa stuff.

Now they are holding a so-called one Africa event in every continent, but the so-called Africa. Just makes the black man look a fool.

Following your line of logic...
Why "Nigerian Giant" then? Why not "Port Harcourt Giant" or "Ahoada Giant"?

I just don't get the xenophobia and reductionist of many Nigerians/Africans...
The ONLY difference between being Nigerian and other African nationality is arbitrary happenstance!

There is is nothing sacred about being 'Nigerian'....
Because Nigeria as a sovereign "unit" distinct from its neighbours was decided in Berlin by Europeans.

A Yoruba in Nigeria has more natural commonality with a Yoruba in Benin Republic...
Than with an Hausa-Fulani in the North, who has more natural commonality with the Hausa-Fulani in Niger or Chad.

Africans should NEVER be limited by the acts or narratives of others...
Time to seize our own destiny and write our own narratives - and if you're content to do it with Nigeria, others dream BIGGER!

At the end of the day, what you preach and what these folks are doing are NO different...
You are trying to build cohesion among 250+ ethnicities, while they dare to dream BIGGER and build among several hundred.
