Useless comparison. New York City Police Chief annual salary is $215,000 while Lagos Police commissioner is paid by FG. Starting salary for a School teacher with bachelors degree is $45k while those with Masters degree is $51k. Tell me how much Lagos pays school teachers.

Marriage marriage without thinking about how to take care of children produced from such marriages. We are busy breeding poverty and Boko Haram. A nation pf irresponsible leadership and followership! One day, rhese kids are going to rise and eat us just like the way small snake grows up and swallows small snakes

Begging is part of Naija culture. Everybody wants to be "dashed" something

Cos most Nigerians are dirty. Go to restaurants, bars and fast food places, if u see how unkempt their restrooms/toilets are, you might throw up. Fancy faucet, toilet seat and accessories; all made in China but not working.

runzlord: The problem is lack of oppuntunity!
Only the rich in nigeria get heard! It pains me when i see in newpapers and tv that a nigerian student ivented this or that cos those inventions re the least of my thoughts. I wanted to learn java programing it cost 140k. I cant afford it. I learn 4rm the internet buh i cant understand to sum level. I have app ideas. My parent re nt tech freaks. All they want is 4 me to enter the university, come out, find a job, and bring money home. They would nt listin to me. And no one else to share my ideas with. I live in a villiage on the island, surrounded by dumb heads. I cant build these tinz on my own. I have no training, no opptunity! I had a smart watch idea since 2011 buh if i had the opptunity then, i shuld have been the leading smart watch maker by now! I get so much ideas that i get annoyed if a company later discovers it and add it to their stuffs. Now i have 2 major ideas. 1. The world needs an alternative to youtube, if i could put heads together with few geeks we could put up something nice! But who do i tell to help me achieve this? Nobody!
2. Phone makers 2day make diffrent models of fone, buh it might nt be exacly what u want! So my idea is an online site/company where u select the exact specs and design u want in ur own phone. With price tag on each fone, then we build it 4 u and ship to ur delivry. Buh who do i tell again? NOBODY! so annoying. I draw design of fones in books and on my head. Bug assuming my father was dangote. I shuld have been making my millions by now. Unfortunatly most rich men children are dumb! The few one that have little brians we heard of them! Show host rich men children with talent that is 20 less than mine! Buh i cant get there cos there is no oppuntunity!

Don't give up. Dangote's dad wasn't rich to lend him money. Most of the rich entrepreneurs started from the bottom

Africa lacks everything to make it happen. Most Naija folks are resistant to using tablets in place of a bible, some university students are banned from using smart phones likes BB and iPhones. Folks believe that answering a call from a certain number is gonna kill them. Folks believe Obamacare, strictly passed for Americans, is an invitation to 666. Some folks believed a pastor drove a car without petrol from Onitsha to Lagos. Invention and innovation cometh by being open minded; and willingness to change the status quo opens the door for technology

I used to watch this dude on MBI. Quick recovery bro!

Same thing, but the only thing worse, is collective ignorance. Folks who oppose tablets are bunch of hypocrites who buy fancy cars instead on chariots, Suits instead of hides and skin, jets instead of donkeys.

ehixking: Bees,ants and many other social insects despite the size of their brains,come together to build up hills for shelter,to store up food when its abundant for the next season because of the uncertainty in weather conditions or in case of famine!!

Truck drivers,mechanics,pepper grinders,market women and less educated entrepreneur also have their associations. They come together and look for ways forward!!they think ahead and avert any thing they think might be an obstruction in their various endeavors. So why can we as graduate come together to solve these problems!!

Let's use our brains to solve our own problems. The government is not ready to carter for us.
Nigeria youths are not lazy and not violent. During the Fuel subsidy crises I was in ibadan when old men were trying to protest youth were sleeping inside but during the time for recruitment by National population commission the crowd was so much that a fight broke out. This is just to show you how ready we are to work.
There was a time the senate where debating on paying jobless youth if there was an association like these an sure we would have done something about it..
Joblessness in Nigeria is terrible and the statistics is Huge

If u have any idea on how to go about these paste your views and opinion here or
send me an email to ehixking@gmail.com
And to the management and crew of naira land and especially the "boss" seun osewa can help us publicize this!!

You are still calling entrepreneurs less educated? There comes a time in your life, where what matters is how to feed yourself, family and put a loof over head not how many degrees you have . Maybe entrepreneurship is the best way to go!

True, but David West is an attention seeker. He was in IBB's govt when ASUU went on strike for several months. He's part of VIP=Vagabond in Power

You must be 18 in order to enter into a contract to get a loan from a bank, if not, it becomes a voidable contract, because you lack the ability to consent as a minor. However, an adult can serve as your guarantor.

P.Stacks:
Why are you asking him what his business is on the ground that he might be a Northerner or Westerner..

You igbos are fund of this thing and you will always be the first to scream marginalisation on the slightest incidence..

If he is a northerner or westerner, doesn't he have a say in the whole nigeria polity or isn't it one-nigeria we claim.. Mtcheeew. Let this country kuku divide jare..

I can't believe a well breed man like Soludo that has occupied such an exalted office of the CBN governor would rubbish himself so low to a point where he would be disqualified. Such bullshit won't and can't happen to sanusi Lamido Sanusi.. Well, Igbo people and their ways sha.. Na dem sabi.

Someone paid for ur education to spew these many grammatical errors? What a waste of money!

Fostabeck: Nice write up mr poster....just have some questions to ask you and some things to say;
1. Should the church be held responsible for penury in the society,since no one is ever forced to pay tithe,offerings and donations?
2. Should pastors live like paupers so as to prove to you they are'nt looting their church's money?
3. If you were to be a man of God,would you refuse gifts from your members? Cos in real sense members bless their pastors willingly cos their (member's) prayers were answered...(Pastor Adeboye not an exception)
3. It was Shrewdness on Pastor Adeboye's side to say those with big money donations should report to his p.a cos i dont think any rational person should expect those kind of donations to be paid in public for security reasons.
4. Is the church the government or a political organisation? How come you're expecting it to carry the burden of the government by alleviating poverty..putting the BLAME OF THE GOVERNMENT On THE CHURCH..
5. I think all those that have been mentioning TB Joshua have to look at the hypocritical side of the prophets attitude..do you remember how the hypocrites did give in the bible? Thats exactly the way the prophet does. He packs his retinue of cameramen and newspeople to every single place and person he wants to give anything to, WHY? This is unlike other pastors. They give to members in secret and their God rewards them openly....moreso i believe nothing works better than prayer. No matter how much gifts you dole out as a pastor,poverty wont cease so its better you tackle spiritual things spiritually.. I guess that should spell the difference between TB and Adeboye..moreso Redeemed members are not that poor,even the poor ones are assisted at their various local parishes,that i can BOLDLY say...
5. Pastor ADEBOYE does not OWN RCCG, he is only a GENERAL OVERSEER, The founder is late PASTOR JOSHUA AKINDAYOMI..
6. Another assertion that needs to be corrected is that these pastors have their own personal businesses so it is totally prepostrous to say they loot church money. Pastor Adeboye is a renowned writer and his books are read worldwide. That alone is enough to make money...Pastor Oyedepo owns a university..not convenant university(cos its for the church)
7. Concerning you asking why should the church build another auditorium, i'd like to tell you that the current one doesnt accommodate everybody..those present at the just concluded convention would testify to that.......
8. Concluding that we worship Pastor Adeboye is more unless a Blatant Lie. We are Nigerians now,we arent that gullible. Its all about you knowing God is using the Man,so why hesitate to recieve prayers and blessings from him.

The conspiracy motive behind your going to camp and this post you put up is questionable, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME



nb once again: the church is not a Governmental or a political organisation? Dont expect it to carry the burden of the government by alleviating poverty amongst the people...what concerns the church with reducing polio?? Yet to fathom ..... If after this you still find it hard to accept defeat and brace up to the fact that your assertions were all wrong, then i'd advise you to rethink...





To all persons concerned


Dr Hazard Wonderkid.....

What kind of Dr? Babalowo, Quack Dr, purchased Ph.D?

panafrican: OK! Now take your racist KKK and brainwashed Black Americans to a doctor because they are sick.
You always want to be better than Africans, that is how sick you all are.

You are u the racist one here! I have no bandwidth of tolerance for your stupidity and ignorance . The most weakest folks in EU and US are treated better than retards like you who are treated like poo.

40yahoo.com:
Thank GOD I was @ d program. He said "write a check in d name of rccg". He didnt ask any1 2see any personal...dnt be a confusionist. Get ur facts right next time.

What difference does it make if it's written to RCCG or GO? They are one and the same and he owns RCCG. Put on your thinking cap!

m.k.o2005:
The Roman catholics are in a haste to click like on this thread following other ignorant Christians,forgetting that there is a saying that:''HE who lives in glass house should not throw stones'' And Christ never asked us to judge anyone but correct but should first clear ourselves prior correcting others.When it comes to ur own denomination you try to defend her but if others,you condemn like hell !
See below ongoing conversation amongst catholics when they where accused of spending too much cash on their cathedrals:
''The reason that so much is spent on church buildings is that how we build our places of worship SAYS something about what we really think about God.
In communities where the people are successful and wealthy, drive luxuries cars, own large houses with all the latest fashions it would be downright scandalous for them to demand a cheap concrete block office building for a place of worship. When you do that, you send a message to God that He is only good enough for our leftovers.
Poorer communities must obviously make do with less, just like they do at home. And there is nothing wrong with that. There is no shame in being of lower income. The shame comes when you put yourself first and God second. The catholic church is not a big commune. Our parishes are an expression of who WE are locally and what we believe.
What we are called to do instead is to put God first. Our Church buildings should, if anything, be finished BETTER than our own homes. We should give the best things to Christ and make do with the seconds ourselves. We have it backwards in this country. Read the instructions God gave about how to build the Israelite temple in the old testament. The logic was the same then as now: what you build your place of worship to be tells a lot about what you really worship.''-Speaker A
''In my darkest of times, the beauty of Catholic places of worship has provided me with solace and peace. Think about the stained glass windows, steeples, stone work, fresh flowers, statues of Mary and Joseph, and of course Jesus on the cross. I think these places are integral for all members of our community, both in richer and poorer areas. The poor deserve a beautiful place to worship and from which to draw their strength as well.
However, I can understand your frustration as there are many other places and people that need support financially. I do hope that they are able to allocate money for other worthy causes as well. Perhaps that is where the money will go next''-Speaker B
I think the Speaker B below has an opposing view:
'' i don't see the Church spenidng much cash or time or whaatever on evangelizing.
If i had been taught my faith years ago... just even a fraction of what i know today... what i had to teach myself.. my life could have been and definitely would have been much different... i would not now be suffering as terribly as i am (long, long story)from the mistakes i made in the past and how those mistakes have impacted me and others SO horribly..
People are more important than buildings..
that should go without saying.. but i just don't SEE it in our Churches(RCC).. instead, frankly, i see downright hatred toward one another... none of this Love others as you love yourself stuff ...
I'm not saying we should all be hugging each other on entering the Church and that kind of fake love... i am talking about.. warning people of Hell..
on another thread Not Many Escape Hell,it is virtually unanymous that the saints and Jesus said that not many get into Heaven..
So why aren't people taught to evangelize? Ever heard a homily on sharing Christ with others?
Of course peole are going to end up in hell.. they are not taught holiness...
I pray that people find their way to the Church.. to the Real Presence... the sacraments..
but i doubt my prayers are sufficient..
I also evanglize ... but i can only do so much.. gee... what a couple million dollars couldn't do to get people into the church...''

We all have our inhouse issues but do not wish people bad becos they left you to serve same God you claim you are serving!

God help us

Save some bandwidth of ur ignorance. Google Catholic charities, missionary schools, and compare that to GO's obsession with mega-stadium buildings and jets. Pope Francis flies Alitalia commercial airline with over 1bn faithful and ur GO with less than 20million has at least 2 jets.

panafrican: The garden next door is always green ,this is what some people believe.
It is a big mistake.

Yes, places like US and EU are better than Naija.It's an incontrovertible truth!

Naija of not solving a problem: blame another tribe!

panafrican: It is no use to give a visa to someone you will deny equal job opportunities based on his national origin, his color or his accent.

And it's better in Naija where politicians treat their dogs better than their fellow citizens?

gsaint trinity: they should keep their country to themselves.... very soon u guys will be begging for Nigeria visa.... mtcweeeeeeee

Stupidity amplified!

Nigeria got independence in 1960; and has not exported anything but religious extremism. India got independence in 1947 and now makes and exports Tata, Jaquar, Range Rover; has sent a rocket to space; has built an aircraft carrier warship.

Sill tribal warriors on NL don't get it. I said before and will say it again. Ben Akabueze's kids and relatives are more likely to have in things in common with Tinubus and Fasholas. They are more likely to inter-marry, go to social functions, school, do business deals than some stranger who bears a common tribal name with them.

A vey good candidate for quadruple bypass surgery
Hope she'll be this brave when heart attack, diabetes and arthritis come.

Gunzilla: .

This is not double-jeopardy and the Supreme Court will not retry the case.They will not take any new evidence or pleadings .What they will simply look at are what the Appeal Court decided and see if there was any material error on the part of the AC. Its good that LASG decided to go all the way to the SC.Thats how its done in any sane clime.I doubt that the AC judgement will be overturned by the SC though.Based on the law,i think they were right.

When prosecution appeals a case like this, it tantamounts to a trial because you are asking the S/Court for a verdict/ruling . It's still a trial but not elaborate like high and appeal courts. In some common law colonies, this is considered double jeopardy.

Nigeria is an illusion. Nigeria exists whenever we want to talk about oil,tribal and religious issues.

deshclones: Women never learn...i know this dude..he owns a house very close to my uncles place..(they share the same fence)and boy...this guy is arrogant...as in ehen..in capital letters "ARROGANT"'..with little or no respect for anything human...why a young educated woman will want to cling to a guy like this with all his baggage beats me?...funke comes to mind here..is it that there are no young single guys around or what??..no one should give me the money BS cos this chic is well to do in her own right so what?

wish them the best though....

between the first wife looks finer and more homely than this nzeribe chic IMHO

because he's good looking, a good dresser, has lots of money, lots of it! He's well connected politically for a guy of his age. To answer ur question: most Naija girls love flashy lifestyle and want to reap where they didn't sow.

This sounds like double-jeopardy. Retrying someone for an offence he has been acquitted

So we cannot type ssexual violence on this this site?

Stop counting how much money rich folks have made, what have you made on ur own? These folks don't know of your existence!

An insightful piece on legality of internal deportation.. I didn't know that MKO was deported. In that case, Mustapha was deported to Lagos to go and stand trial for alleged Kudirat Abiola's murder

Language barrier my ass!

The fact that the assistant is Italian makes it worse.

Naija bigmanism. Sugary drinks are for big boys and girls. Water is for poor peeps. Same way middle class and rich folks go to fast food and order junks while the struggling class goes to market and buys organic food to cook. A cousin who doesn't drink wine because of his faith can drink 2 packs of Chivita juice after a meal.
