Naija is really a useless society .. What happened to all biometric info collected via voter's card, National ID, GSM, BVN etc.. Govt should have had a huge database bank by now..just with ur cell no, they can create a profil from GSM or BVN data.. This country can't get it right!!

blackpanda:
Lool...u must sha look for a way to rope PMB in!

PMB is too busy with security and dwindling oil prices to comment on each and every issue in nigeria. Thats y we have the likes of fayose and ffk

Yep, he only comments on national issues from outside Naija.... Btw, he's not concerned because his cousin got a job.. Keep singing praises for them while they trample on u.. You don't exist in their imagination!!

And GMB is silent because all Nigerians are criminals?? Complicit silence over injustice done to millions of his jobless voters and followers.. No more N5000 for the poor, but there are CBN jobs for the politically connected and influential folks..

And the same police refused to do anything when Ese, a minor, was kidnapped, raped and forced into marriage

porozhniy:
Help govt do what exactly? Fund opulent lifestyle of politicians? Or help them fund the already overbloated govt?. Heck! this govt plans to borrow in excess of 1trillion naira to fund frivolities, they refused to cut cost of running govt & expect us to make sacrifices. What does a govt with no clear policy direction want more money for?

Don't mind them .. They are going to borrow N1.8tn and spend N1.3tn of that to fund their opulent lifestyle.. They just created jobs for their daughters and sons at CBN.. Who is going to pay for that? Poor folks!

Another fooling policy... U want to promote cashless society and u are charging folks for switching to cashless system..
You want to bank the "unbanked" and still want to charge them??

jmichlins:
Before the zoo chanting people will come let me tell you that america started practicing democracy long before us. Having said that, until we start voting the right people and not voting based on religion and tribe we will continue being shortchanged by the politicians. But i know we will get there cause if an igbo man can seek elective post in lag and maybe win, it means there is hope for true democracy to be rooted in our country. #GODBLESS9JA

Always defending incompetence.. Why can't NASS update and add their contact details on NASS.. Is it going to take another 200 yrs to do that?

To punish without trial ??

We should try to prosecute and punish those found guilty after trial.. We're a democracy with its imperfection

Monthly rent should not exceed 1/3 of ur monthly income.

seunmsg:
The secret recruitment was done by an Igbo man named Godwin Emefiele. We should learn to apportion blame to the real culprit.

And Delta-Igbo-sounding who comes from S/S serves at the discretion of GMB, a core northern and divisive and sectional leader.. So Emefiele can turn down a request from GMB and his cronies??
If he based his selection on nepotism/sectionalism, he could have chosen folks from Zenith Bank and Delta state

Or give them light snacks in the morning serve them real food in the afternoon after classes

That is what you keep shoving down our throats. Blame your Society, you can't compare two people of different societal and cultural backgrounds and expect same things from them. Let's take for example women from the West won't take most of the bullshit men dish out to Nigerian women, before you say jack divorce papers are upon you which you might lose a good chunk of your wealth to depending on the law.

I don't know where you get your views from, alot of women are breadwinners, contribute to the family finances and are making their marks. Is it foreigners that are marrying the poor, struggling guys?, suffering through thick and thin with? Some women might opt to marry rich men, it's their choice afterall which I don't fault cos most men ain't grateful to the women that was with them through the hard times, once the story changes the next thing is to gather concubines or plan to marry other wives. Rather than appreciate her then, the thank you wld be emotional trauma. Nigerian men's true colour comes out with money.

Gold diggers can be male or female. They abound everywhere. If you want to get married while calling yourself the head of the family and not spend on your wife, don't get married .

Keep deceiving yourself .. Most of these women you are talking about are in the minority .. Go to a Naija university and carry out a simple opinion poll, ask girls what are their plans after school, marriage is always in the is top three.. To be married to a guy who's going to put roof over their head. Most of them are more likely to be OK studying philosophy, sociology, etc, and hoping for a husband-not saying that these courses are bad, but how are u going to find a job in Naija in order to raise a family.
We are building a society where we don't challenge most of our young women to study STEM, because we know thare might be a "rich"husband out there.. Even most successful unmarried ones are berated.. why is it OK to ask a young man how he's going feed his family if he studies "philosophy" but it's OK for our young women to flock in that department?

phetty:
Bros, make I ask, MOST rich women in abroad, how did they make their riches?

Work

He's already telling us that he can't fix the refinery, therefore importation continues..
Also, can u stop give them Forex $£€ at CBN rate? Let them to the black market

slimfit1:
Common sense is kicking in finally. How did we let our lives depend on foreign things and these people ban our product or avoid it when we export. However, brave decision by this government the right one as well.

Always saying things without thinking them through.. Our largest raw material is crude oil and we ship it overseas and take $bn in forex to import its refined products.. Fuel imports take over 60% of forex.
Also, if u e talking about raw materials, can we locally manufacture machinery and parts to process raw materials..
Just take a look at Dangote, the raw material, limestone is in abundance in Naija, earthmoving equipment like CAT, liebebherr, terex, bomag, and crusher, conveyor, furnace etc.. None of these can be made in Naija..

1977 NNPC that established it, why cant Buhari just follow the law and submit a legistlation to unbundle it??

When God regretted that He had made human beings on earth and his heart was deeply troubled- Genesis 6:6
He was actually talking about Nigerians. Look at the way we trivialize and cheapen human life.. The point is that a lot villagers died as a result of attack from herdmen and we are playing game with numbers?? We have become numb to human suffering and loss of live!! We are a wasted generation!

Where is their governor? Where are their NASS members and State legislators?? Where are their opinion leaders?? The kind of silence that has engulfed this nation in this middle of cataclysmicic change is unfathomable.. Adult lives don't matter, kids lives don't matter.. Human suffering doesn't elicit empathy and sympathy.. The president is in grandiose delusion that he means well for Nigeria.. Don't tell me what you would do, just SHOW me..the country is at the crossroad and bereft of leadership.. Peter Drucker said that " management is doing things right; leadership is dong the right things." Management and leadership are clearly lacking in this government. Time for action was yesterday and we're already late!

ItsMeAboki:
You really are intellectually lazy, I have already explained myself and would no longer encourage you to derail this thread; as I have said before, if you wish to engage me on that issue then open your own thread and I'll gladly oblige you.
Why is this so difficult to understand?

You are throwing " intellectually lazy" around as if you know what it means in your line of ur obtuse argument.. Why is trying to seek justice for Ese attack on Islam? Why are u perpetuating a conspiracy theory that Isreal, Jews and US have any hand in religious issues in Naija, where Islam is at the front and center?

Another thread to demonize and vilify housemaid while your owns daughters and sisters are God's best children??

HaneefahAde:
Don't marry Nigerian ladies, all haters should ho marry foreign angels who'll take ur bullshit from u. What gets on my nerves is the generalization. Like men are saints. And the issue of women liking money is everywhere, who doesn't anyway. Why wld a man marry a white grandma if they ain't gold diggers too.

Lots of Nigerian women are financially stable and capable, they contribute to the family's finances and we have women who built their men up from scratch ( most are usually repaid with tho, when the money comes different mistresses start coming in) , yet we never hear about these from crybabies calling themselves men. Some that can't even afford their three square meals will also come and call all Nigerian women gold diggers. SMH.

Naija woman is more likely to be vicious and vindictive at divorce proceedings than a foreign woman.. Divorced Naija woman is more spiteful than a foreign woman because she's used to it and has better conflict resolution skills than a Naija woman who has been raised to believe that the easiest to accumulate wealth is Thru marriage.

No big wedding if u marry a foreign woman, no in-laws asking for school fees, no traditional wedding.. In most cases, your in-law pays for the white wedding, foreign woman follows and loves u without looking at your wallet or background.. It's ok for a foreign woman to make more than her husband and there will be peace in the house, try that with Naija woman and tell me your result from jail or grave.. Foreign woman doesn't have any cultural hold-up i.e. It's ok to send flowers/chocolate on Val's day or special occasions unlike modern Naija woman who wants flowers/chocolate with Gucci Bag.. Naija woman loves diamond, Gucci bag but doesn't like Blow_job because her faith and culture are against it...

What global meltdown?

Putting $24bn in context for you guys...
London spent $15bn on 2012 Olympic Games to build stadi, game villages, infrastructure etc
South Africa spent less than $4bn to host 2010 FIFA World Cup

ItsMeAboki:
You are bringing baseless issues that have no relevance here, however, if you want to indulge in such arguments I'll only be too happy to oblige if you care to open a specific thread on it.
As for now, kindly stick to the subject pls.

How convenient for you to say that when I was asking u to explain what Isreal got to do with child rape case in Naija, you went further by bringing pics of US president and his cabinet.. Please explain the linkage to me.. What is the correlation between foreigners and Ese's abduction and rape?

ramdris:
Excellent news! This is the first tym am seeing our gallant men taking on these herdsmen who are far more dangerous than BH.. I wish they can sustain this so that the pple in North central can have peace...

Guy u no understand wetin be cattle rustlers- na people who dey steal cattle not herdsmen!

ItsMeAboki:
^^^^Hogwash.
Pictorial representation is probably more appropriate for some of pseudo intellectuals - PhD without intellgence

You are still being willfully ignorant.. How did those people in that pic affect lives of Muslims in Naija to make them riot and kill fellow Nigerians who are likely and closely related through DNA and National Origin than someone in Middle East??
Or are u saying a Muslim life in Middle East is more valuable to a Naija Muslim than a northern Nigerian of Tiv Origin??

And OBJ lied that he never pushed for the third term agenda

Stupidity.. Intl Women's Day should be a day to show powerful women who have blazed the trail in medicine, law, politics, social work, business, education etc.. It's not a day for beauty pageants.. How about we start telling young girls that it's OK to study science, technology,engineering, and math.. Your beauty can take some place but your brain can take u almost everywhere!!

ItsMeAboki:
Refer to my post and you will observe that answer was a reply to a bigot like you who raised the issue - or are you by any chance also intellectually lazy?

Are u the one playing dragging another country, Isreal to this case.. And it doesn't in any make sense! Time to recheck what being intellectually lazy means!

Here is a link of how Radical Islam has engulfed Pakistan..

ItsMeAboki:
No Muslim is in support of what Yunusa did because Islam does not support abduction or adultery (get your facts right and stop being intellectually lazy); however, no Muslim would allow bigots like you condemn Islam for the single offence of just one Muslim. The example of the Catholic priests is to demonstrate to you the folly of your hypocrisy.






In fact quite the opposite, you could trace the cause of those unrest and terrorist groups to the manipulating hands of a very powerful first world country (America) controlled by Christians and Jews.

I can never understand what Isreal/ Jew has got to with a child rape/ kidnapping case in Naija? Why do most Muslims in Naija get riled up about Isreal, a country that's about 6000km away and has no direct impact on Nigerian Muslims. Why do Muslims feel that they are more closely related to a Muslim in Middle East than a fellow Nigerian who lives in Benue, Kogi and Kwara??

Obiodunukwe:
You are very good at throwing figures around without backing your claims with evidence and with sources.

You claimed that Amaechi spent 1 billion on the monorail project and abandoned it

When a poster asked you to provide evidence , you became abusive and funny enough you requested that the poster provide evidence on your behalf. When you eventually came up with a source to support your claims, it turned out that you were wrong. Yet you kept on heaping insults

Where is the evidence of all these numbers you are quoting?

Go back and re-read all posts and I have provided reliable sources. Instead, Amaechi guys have not provided any source to back up their claim that it didn't gulp $1bn.. Do u mind helping them out??
You and ur ilk have all run away cos u have no facts nor cognitive ability to grasp the amount of money we are talking about =$24bn in 8 years and he still borrowed .
