Truth is, these politicians are our critical problem.

Jonathan, Omokri's hero was dishing cash, flying around commissioning airports. I remember he was in jigawa, the next week, kebbi. Reno didn't talk then. Northern leaders the likes of Lamido were after projects that ll slam them into history books, regardless of viability. Meanwhile, SS and SE leaders were more concerned in building personal empires- the likes of edwin clark built private universities, Asari dem. Pius Anyim, was in Aso Rock, Secretary to federal government. Ngozi, Madueke. Very top, sensitive positions. Whom is to blame? Jigawa had a female prof as education minister, she attracted more universities to the north than any other. She used almajiri school initiative to enrich northetn cronies, equipping them to the teeth to wrestle power. With all the power the SE n SS leaders commanded, what did they do for their people?
Now, power shifted, the blame game continues.
I don't blame Jonathan, not anymore. His aides n advisers were his fall, and that includes Reno O'muckery.

You sir have sense of the highest order

Real2020:
Yorubaas are the centerpiece of the problem of Nigeria. I cannot ignore them in relevant matter like this. The fact is Igbos by virtue of their strong abhorrence of evil and marginalization of any sort, will never, I repeat, will never condone of the federal governments allowing all SS and SE ports to be functional while denying Yorubas the rights to use their ports. This is how a typical Igbo man his...has zero tolerance for evil and marginalization even when done to his enemy.

What about the north that is landlocked and do you hear them screaming and crying, why can't ibos just take their destiny into their hands, stop crying or agitating, let your governors bring their heads together but no, they fight, look at wike and bayelsa Governor, what arrant rubbish is that, you guys aren't even united within yourselves and you want .....Mehn this is bullshit you guys don't know what you want...as usual very selfish even to their own kin

Real2020:
What is funny is some Nigerians particularly yorubas think it's natural and okay for Lagos to have 2 seaports and largest functional international airport by design and for SE to have none. Some actually think Lagos has all these ports and airport by merit. When you try to to reason with them that why are Port Harcourt, Calabar, Warri, Onne and Onitsha ports not as functional as Lagos ports, they come up with all manners of excuses but you tell that that Dangote is using Calabar seaport to import most of his goods into SE, and then they keep quiet.Lol! Same goes for the airport, why are Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna and Kano the only functional airports in the country for international direct flight services? The fact is if you go right now, I mean now, to Lagos and Abuja, count and interview those traveling to international destinations, I assure you over 50% are Igbos. Then why can't they travel directly from Enugu, Uyo, Calabar, Asaba or Port Harcourt? Same goes for their goods...all these companies Reno talked about in Nnewi, Aba and Onitsha import their goods via Lagos port, that's over 1000 kms drive and paying all kinds of customs fees and bribes on the way to finally make it to SE, and you tell me this is fair?

Yorubas...how will you people feel having to drive 1000kms to SE to fly and clear your goods? Not only do you do this one time only but a constant thing for the past 50 yrs? And you tell it's ok? Yorubas....where are your conscience? Do you people have feelings at all? Do you have hearts? I commend Fayose and Fani but more yorubas need to come out and condemn this evil and wickedness!

Pls I want to understand more.
Why do you think the ibos don't use their airports to travel and import since its obviously cheaper? aren't these airports also international airports?

nice one

This article is outdated, look at the metrics.

See ehn they don't want to scrap it, do you know how much money they make from it, like hell they woulGood observation on how Corpers are taking advantage of technology to ease their ways to camp and socialize better. Its very hard to be alone in camp as you definitely know someone from somewhere.

It is a general belief that experience is the best teacher. As true as this may sound, learning via experience has a lot of disadvantages. It is expensive to learn from experience. I learn as much as possible from experience when life forced it on me, but I rather prefer to learn via evaluated experience by studying those who have gone ahead of me and learn from their successes and failures.
After taking a deep observation of the life of an average Nigerian, I discovered that majority of people are likely going to make the mistakes highlighted in this article and most of them have no choice but to live with the consequences when they reach age 30. These mistakes include:



--Thinking you are too young to achieve great things: Most Nigerian who are in their 20s are still pursuing their tertiary education, some will not even graduate until they reach their late 20s. In your 20s there is this tendency to think you are too young to pursue your dream. You will often feel you don’t have experience and that people won’t take your seriously. This mindset will make you defer some of the things that would have speed up your success in life to a time you feel you will be competent to live your dream. The truth is that thinking you are too young to live your dream in your 20s is nothing but a limiting belief. Once you reach age 18, you are not too young to pursue any dream except where a higher age is required. People who made it big in their 30s started in their 20s. And if you are just waking up at 30, then you will be disappointed in yourself. You will regret wasting those precious years of your 20s by the time you reach age 30.


--Focusing your life only on academics : In Nigeria formal education is overrated. The reason for this is because we have not been able to differentiate between education and academics. The object of education is to help you understand your environment, and learn how to adapt to it without constituting nuisance to others. Education also empowers you for success in every area of your life. Academics on the other hand focuses on certificates or degrees. A person may have a degree but yet not educated. However academics can help to enhance one’s education.
The average Nigerian believe so much in the power of certificate and all his hope is bent on securing a good job after graduation through this certificate. In order to achieve this end, he tend to put in all the possible efforts needed to get good grades. It is important to note that this formular of getting good grades to ensure a good job is no more valid in today’s world as we have graduates with first class who are not employed. In a situation where all your efforts was put into getting good grades without having a plan B for a situation where your certificate does not give you your dream job will only land you in regret, depression and frustration, which is the lot of so many Nigerian graduates today. TRUE EDUCATION PREPARES YOU TO SURVIVE WITHOUT YOUR CERTIFICATE.
To avoid this mistake, as you pursue your academic degrees, also find time to acquire some or at least one vocational skill. There are many of them out there that can fetch you real money the moment you become an expert. If you have graduated from the tertiary institution and you don’t have any vocational skill yet, it is not too late to acquire one.



-- Not working to earn an income : There is this tendency for you to rely solely on your parents for every dime you spend. All you are exposed to is how to spend money. This will put you in a position where you don’t know how difficult it is to make money. All you will have in mind is, as soon as you graduate, you will hit your dream job and you will be able to do what your parents or guardians are doing. This kind of thinking is not always true. By the time you graduate and your dream job doesn’t show up and have no option but to take care of yourself, then you will wish you understood earlier how difficult it is to make money. This period will be the first time in your life when you will have a genuine appreciation for all the money your parents spent on you. If you are currently relying on your parents for your up-keep and still in your 20s, then I say to you that you have not started living. LIFE BEGINS THE MOMENT YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS AND FOR EVERY DIME YOU SPEND. You can’t afford to just be sitting at home eating, watching television, and hanging out with friends. Start doing something that can fetch you money. It may be a paid employment or personal business. This will expose you to how difficult it is to accumulate money. The moment you know this by experience, you will begin to appreciate money and become wiser in the way you use it.



--Thinking there is still time : Thinking you still have all the time in the world is one of the illusions of the 20s. You tend to live your life carelessly and spend your time on frivolities. However by the time you hit 29, and moving towards your 30 birthday, you will begin to realize that you are no more a baby. You will realize you have been sleeping all this years if your achievement does not measure up with your age. It would be done on you for the first time that you no longer have time on your side. At this period you will wish you have done so many things in your 20s which you felt you were too young to accomplish.


--Not equipping yourself with skills to survive in the real world: If you are not the discipline type, you will likely spend your 20s engaging in frivolous activities, which will prevent you from having a grasp of basic skills needed to survive in the real world. Some of them include, ability to save money for a project, empathy, understanding, ability to delay gratification, and so on.
Also Young Nigerians who are academics oriented may end up spending their 20s pursuing only degree without any practical vocational skill that can guaranteed them job after graduation. When the dream job doesn’t show up, these youths tend to end up being underemployed, doing job they hate out of no choice.
TRUE EDUCATION PREPARES YOU TO SURVIVE WITHOUT YOUR CERTIFICATE.
To avoid this mistake, as you pursue your academic degrees, also find time to acquire some or at least one vocational skill. There are many of them out there that can fetch you real money the moment you become an expert. If you have graduated from the tertiary institution and you don’t have any vocational skill yet, it is not too late to acquire one. If you look around you, you will notice that most of the people who are making real money are not necessary those who are working with their certificates, but those who have answers to the problems of people around them. Beside your certificate what problem can you solve for people and get paid for? If you don’t have an answer, it is high time you identify major problems of the people around you, and proceed to acquire vocational skill that can empower you to provide answer to such problem. The more problem you can solve, the more your capacity to make money. In zig ziglar’s word ‘’you will have all that you want if only you can help enough other people to get what they want.’’ ONLY PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE SOLUTION TO OTHER PEOPLE’S PROBLEMS DIE IN POVERTY.


--Not reading enough books: It has been said that if you want to hide something from an African, hide it inside a book. This tells about how poor our reading culture as Africans is. One of the major problems the average Nigerian will make in his 20s is not reading enough books. We are all born into this world without a manual, all that we know and that we will know are all products of learning. The 20s is a time of preparation for the future ahead and reading good books will definitely assist you in your preparation. Reading good books will expose you to the life time investigation of those who have gone ahead of you. Learning from their experience is the best way to learn. Reading good books will enable you to begin from where previous generation left off. It is important to note that every form of success has its own governing principles. Books will expose you to the principles that govern the kind of success you desire. As an African most of the things you were indoctrinated to believe while growing are myths, only reading and critical thinking can help you flush those erroneous beliefs out of your mind. If you don’t read enough books in your 20s, then you are an accident waiting to happen. Every youths in his 20s is expected to have a full grasps of the principles that govern money , relationship and success generally. This can only be achieved by reading books that teach the principles governing them. There are millions of them out there. I want to suggest here that as a Nigerian in your 20s that if you have not read the books I am going to list below or the ones related to them, then you are probably not ready for life. The books include the following: Think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill, 7 strategies for wealth and Happiness by Jim Rohn, The richest man in Babylon by George S.Clason, Rich dad, Poor dad by Robert Kiyosaki, Why you act the way yo do by Tim Lahaye, 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen covey, The science of getting rich by Wallace wattle, From poverty to power by James Allen, As a man thinketh by James Allen, Acres of diamond by Russell Conwell and many more. These suggested books contains timeless truth of how things work in this life and reading and acting on the content will help save you from so many mistakes you would have made in life if you have not read them.

Oga check this one here http://www.techzbyte.com/2017/05/airtel-latest-trick-for-may-2017.html

ain't working oo

Does anyone know how to make it work on apps, I've accumulated 100gb and can't see how I'd exhaust it

How do these Upgraded agbero earn his dough

Yes I humbly agree that we owe him a lot......a lot of senseless beating

Make I hear say this doesn't reach front-page

This clears things up I believe, but they way that misinterpreted information gets out daily in this country is a cause for concern

This thread wasn't created to make fun of anyone, just bring out your realistic ideas on what you would immediately start doing to put this nation on the right path.


For starters, fix the economy, build up the infrastructure starting with power then transportation followed by agriculture and others.


Promote national unity and make the people work as one, we can be divided and deceive ourselves that we can move forward, create a national theme that everyone can use to identify as a Nigerian and be proud of it.


Corruption: arrgh this again.... I'd leave this up to you guys

Op if you can help us with the prices of each of these machines, i already have a source to get cassava. thank you

In this country you just have to curb your enthusiasm for speed, no race tracks to satiate that need neither are there any good roads. if you're rich enough travel to Germany and hire a supercar then go to the autobahn and do 300kmh if you like.

God of mercy the number of space bookers on this thread is just.......

RIP, to the departed, that third picture tho

For the 1st time , someone has written something good for men also..... !!





Ⓜ Who is a MAN



A man is the most beautiful part of God's creation who starts compromising at a very tender age.



He sacrifices his chocolates for his sister.



He sacrifices his dreams for just a smile on his parents face.



He spends his entire pocket money on buying gifts for the lady he loves just to see her smiling



He sacrifices his full youth for his wife & children by working late at night without any complain.



He builds their future by taking loans from banks & repaying them for lifetime.



He struggles a lot & still has to bear scolding from his mother, wife & boss.



His life finally ends up only by compromising for others' happiness.



If he goes out, then he's careless



If he stays at home, then he's a lazy



If he scolds children, then he's a monster



If he doesn't scold, then he's a irresponsible guy

If he stops wife from working, then he's an insecure guy



If he doesn't stops wife from working, then he's somebody who lives on wife's earnings



If he listens to mom, then he's mama's boy



If he listens to wife, he's wife's slave



Respect every male in your life. U will never know what he has sacrificed 4U.



Worth sending to every man to make him smile & every woman to make her realize his worth!!



HAPPY MEN'S DAY"

Which never comes..

When we stop letting old people from ruling us with their outdated and selfish standards.


When we stop being afraid of challenging oppression and injustice.


When we kick start change with ourselves first before judging others.



When we put our unity first before our singularity.



Many other things we ought to do, that is only when we can move forward.



Oil isn't going to last, we all know that but we like being in denial, we want to enjoy now and suffer terribly later. We don't want to plan for the collective future of this nation. both our leaders oo and the masses too, no one is thinking about how to save the Nation, only my region or my people, creating artificial demarcations amongst ourselves.



Seriously we are in deep trouble, Smh.

Allowing the Naira to float is not in the best interest of a country with little or no economic diversity,a Naira at #700 to the dollar benefits only the speculators and economic Saboteurs..

salford:
and why would any one pick an f150 or Ram 1500 or chevy over this?
what is the horsepower that can be delivered. Can this truck pull an RV?
How well can it last on a gravel road?
So many questions...
it looks more like a luxury vehicle.

Dude cmon, like seriously?? so you prefer gas guzzling earth killing machines to something greener and more efficient. How do you know that it can't go off road or can't haul 10tons of load??

Clone2020:
How Tesla became the most valuable American automaker is mind boggling at best. A car company that sold 76,000 cars last year is now worth more than GM which sold more than 10 million cars last year alone. Its stock is nothing more than a cult stock and many investors will soon have their hands burnt.

Yeah, many claimed Tesla's stock is overvalued, but the Truth is that with his future plans it actually isn't, his gigafactories, the upcoming models etc are going to make the price worth it. I'm not an expert in stock but I do know that Tesla is on an upward trend and are showing no signs of slowing down.

Before you all judge the beauty of the truck, the picture there is just an artist's render, that isn't what the truck will necessarily look like.

Besides instead of judging the beauty you should commend musk for trying to change the world instead of criticizing other work. He actually set out to do something, dammit guys, think before you comment
