The country is infrastructurally-challenged. Travel by road, you cannot drive up to 100km without potholes, diversion or moving from a dual carriage way to a single lane. We are unable to maintain roads built in 70s and 80s and 90s not to talk about new ones even though our population has doubled. How can Pakistan with similar demography and political system have about 300k km of paved road while Naija has less than 100k km? How can we spend N7 out of every N10 we make on salaries and political appointees? We invest N3 out of every N10 on capital projects. The reverse should be the case if we want to grow.

mejai: hmmn. everybody is talking about rice here and nobody is talking about the fish in d topic. local produced fish is not enough for d nation to consume and available ones r expensive. I perceive lack of fish in our food soonest.
u go to hospital , d doctors would encourage u to abandon meat and hug fish and fruits.... yet fish and fruits r damn expensive Dan d drugs we buy. d government should take it easy with der policies until our local producers r at par wit importers.

They don't want to see it cos they have selective vision. Also, how can u be making Benin richer to the detriment of our economy?

kaboninc: I had to copy this definition from Google to buttress my point

Potential: latent qualities or abilities (sic: skill) that may be developed and lead to future success or usefulness.

You can confirm if you so wish.

Micheal Jordan has a physical attribute (height) but used it to his advantage. Potential here is the ability to 'lift' while tirelessly working on how to perfect it. The result paid off. Same applies to all other athletes you mentioned. There are some guys who are taller than Micheal Jordan but do they play basketball?

MJ has some unique athletic ability as gift..had he not worked hard, he would have still been better than Nate Robison. Potentiality as espoused by Aristotle, is that which has the " possibility" of happening while actuality is that, which is currently happening and it's referred to as entelechy.. Refer to ur Philosophy 101 manual.

kaboninc: I strongly disagree.

Potentiaity is not the dream nor vision but an innate gift. You use your potentials to make your dreams and visions a reality. Please lets understand the meaning of these terms.

Nigeria is a country with great potentials (gifts - enormous human capital resources) problem is the zeal, drive, passion and determination.

I disagree, innate gift is your talent. Micheal Jordan, 6.6ft, is a talented athlete while Nate Robinson, 5.9ft, 3x NBA Slam Dunk Champion, elevated his potentials to actuality through hardwork.

Potentiality is that dream, vision and idea without action. Actuality is that dream, vision and idea set in motion by your hustle and determination. There is no actuality without potentiality. To put things in context, Nigeria is potentiality without actuality while Malaysia is potentiality on wheels racing towards actuality.
It's not only peculiar to men, a lot of single women out there do not know what to do with their lives if that "husband"doesn't come their way.

Davijunson: I hope this drug works so dat America will be put to shame.

So that Naija will be put to shame for not being prepared and taking care of her citizens

Philipmems: I am not a member of his denomination but having heard from both parties I will live you to be the judge considering what women and men are capable of doing.. Pastor Chris O. accused his wife of having bad friends who are influencing her wrongly, she no longer respects anyone especially in the church. He even said that at one time he called the wife so they can settle there differences but she refused to take anything short of a Divorce from the pastor.
Anita is accusing Chris of adultery and infidelity.
At the end of the day my take is that Satan master confusionist has crept into their home either through the man or the woman but wait oh even if its adultery as speculated what happened to our women of steel (1 peter 3:1-3), for better for worse, our mothers stuck to our fathers through thick and thin, never to be distracted by side chicks... Frankly speaking the easiest way for confusion to enter a home na through woman... After all according to the book of Timothy it says a woman was deceive first before Adams.
Read 1 peter 3:1-6 and 1 Corinthians 7:1- 12 especially 10 and 11 and understand that the woman has more role to play in keeping her home together and if it fails shes mainly to be blamed.

Reasonable people take responsibility while delusional jerks blame somebody or satan. Wayo pastor with wife scamming folks since 0000BC

What a display of sophisticated idiocy brought to you by failed Naija education system.

dotcomnamename: [size=15pt]Michael Owen before the game:

''I have to give it to Beşiktaş, they have the qualities to deny Arsenal CL spot, Arsenal won't qualify i don't think so''

''Great to have 4 English teams in The Champions League. Sanchez probably pays back his transfer fee in one swing of his leg!

Michael Owen is a hypocrite... "H" is not silent.

Op is on point. Naija had no designated quarantine facility until Patrick Sawyer came. No testing lab for Ebola. Patrick Sawyer's test was sent to Sierra Leone while he was still infecting people. Could you image if we had the lab in Naija, level of contact with primary and secondary suspects should have been contained.

prettyboi1989: So its you whoz got intelligent tinz 2 say? By berating d way I type, by d way ow does it affect ur life? Watz ur bizness wif ma post? I knw wat I wrote n I c no essence in the guy's criticisms when he himself isn't in a better place 2 c wats going on.

By d way will sayn wat I wrote give u credits? Or wat do u gain spendin ur night n day to discredit meaningful comments? Guess u one of dose nl girls whuz got nufnelse to do oda dan play God when in fact ya'll av nothing.

Stop wasting your MB. You are not making any sense!

LesbianBoy: Most Nigerian men are very FOOLISH and are the biggest MAGAS in the world. If you doubt, ask yourself, how many movies have cossy orjiakor and danielle okeke featured in that they are able to build their kind of houses. Its very obvious that one DESPERATE, PUS5Y-WHIPPED MUMU ''toaster'' somewhere is behind all this. Thats how the other day, bloggers reported danielle okeke was on ''vacation'' abroad and i also learnt she lodged in a big hotel were they pay so much money. How many movies she don act bikonu? Which known endorsement does she have? So where are all these money she is spending coming from? Even the likes of genevieve nnaji, chika ike and co. Though they have featured in many movies, but they don't make that much in the movie industry(thats why they shoot movies up to part 4), yet they are buying flashy cars and building big houses. They even have the guts to attribute it to ''Hardwork''. Who are they decieving? Infact they must be mad! Hardwork ko.......Softwork ni!

Haters will always hate what they cannot replicate in their lifetime and lineage...

victorazy: Oga no vex! Is Angela Merkel a doctor?

While your doctors are sacked?? Oyibo doctors attending to him while you are denied Naija doctors??

henrysam: God bless you my president. Godogain will kill your enemies.
By 2015, we will look back and see the haters no more because God must have put them under your feet.

Show me pics of Angela Merkel vacationing in South Africa, USA, UK.. Naija is wasted with this type of leadership.. Show us pics of him with Angela Merkel and her officials..

lokoloko84: Then you can tell some of us,why your fellow doctors are now begging USA to release zmapp.
Since you guys are the only gurus in medicine and are indispensable then I think you people should give vaccines.

This post is not meant for frozen brains like u. U can never get it!

Can we thank great scientists and researchers who have used their God-Given Brains to develop this drug?

McLuhan: I declare in the name of Jesus Christ that this disease will not spread beyond control; neither will it destroy the destinies of our young people and of our country.

I pray that all the preventive and containment measures put in place by government will prove successful, in Jesus' name.

Even if nobody in the world has ever developed immunity to this virus, I know that miracles still do happen. For that reason, I pray that our immune systems will be divinely strengthened to resist this infection, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

I commit into the hands of God all medical personnel and all caregivers who are involved in the fight against this pestilence, especially nurses, doctors, hospital workers, members of the Red Cross, Medecins San Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), and other international NGOs whose volunteers risk their lives daily to save others. May their lives be spared in the course of this struggle, and may they and all of us find protection against this virulent disease, in Jesus' blessed name.

Just as a cure was found for small pox, for measles and for numerous other diseases that reaped a yearly harvest of souls, I pray that an affordable and accessible antidote will be found, and found soon, for ebola. I pray that the cure will not be available in the developed world alone, nor shall it be priced beyond the reach of the poor. May it not be termed an "experimental drug" and locked up in the vaults of some designer laboratories in the West only to be brought out when the lives or health of certain privileged people are threatened.

Above all, may the emergence of this disease cause all of us to consider the brevity of human life, to resolve to lead kind and caring lives while we can, and to draw closer to God, who is our only security. Amen.

Quit over bogging God! He has given the brains to go conquer the world. God cannot do it for u, only U can!

Women love "M"= marriage, make-up, mugu, maga, motor, mansion etc

Naija, doing same over and over and expecting SAMs result. Fashola did it and went. IBB did with ASUU.. GEJ towing the same line. Doctors will always win! It takes a drunken sailor 10 seconds to fire doctors who spent average of 12yrs to get trained.. It's going to take Naija 20 yrs to replace these doctors.

Solozzo: Can you give us a link regarding the clinical trials done by this illustrious son of Africa did with nano silver, including animal studies? We should be more scientific in our thinking. This nano silver was being sold online by some fraudulent persons and u are supporting them. Shame.!!

Where are our virologists, pharmacist? None has supported this so called medicine.

Trying to make logical sense with Nigerians is like asking snakes not to bite.. Good luck!

Naija consuming stupidity since 0000BC.. Instead of blaming our leaders for their unpreparedness, we are blaming. Ebola is a tropical disease, yet US, Japan, and EU are better prepared. Naija had no specifically designated facility for Ebola until Patrick Sawyer came. Others believe in science and innovation, we believe in luck and religion.

ola9ja: America! America! America!
You shot a biological weapon (EBOLA) to west africa, you weren't satisfied until its gets to the most populated black nation on earth, the liberian man that imported this sickness is an american citizen, you always carry out experimental research on african soil, so the outbreak or consequences will be on Africans, you always want to make africans look foolish so as look up to you as God, there is nothing a black man does, your nation dont criticize, well, we are the cause, when our leaders carry problems as little as headace to you, why wouldnt you belittle us, if you dont change from your ways , America, you will fall, i leave you with this; Absolute power corrupts absolutely
you think you have it all, you are moving towards distruction.
From Ola9ja

Manufacturing stupidity since 0000BC

cirmuell: Give us Ur serum, you refused. We came up with a 'likely' cure you're whining again...for petes sake what really do the US govt want?

Always wanting freebies... Does Naija give out free oil to Ghana? We spent $400m on non functional CCTV cameras.. Naija doesn't even have a lab to detect Ebola.. Doctors sacked while out politicians travel abroad to get treated for headache.

GEJ is intoxicated with power.. To whom the gods wish to destroy, they would first nuke their common sense and send Ebola as desserts..,

When u challenge them on facts they call u partisan. When u challenge them on misleading folks with pseudo data, they call u unptatriotic and enemy of progress.
They just want to make up their data; want make up their own results; make up their own grades..they hate the truth like Ebola..
One day they are going to find my posts where I bashed the Cabals for refusing to hand over to GEJ.. Hopefully they will find my voter's card where I voted for GEJ.. wait, emm.. Not gonna happen cos I'm a paid partisan.

Homar: Yet some mumu nigerians are hustling to go over there . No patriotism in our nation .

Wait make Boko Haram catch u in ur back yard...Make ur black leaders treat u like ants.. ur leaders will give orders to police to " shoot at sight" fellow black niggas

jmaine: MAN has their in house data collection system and they just reeled them out in page one . . . .

Conjectures and pseudo data powered by Ikebe Super...

jmaine: Old Man, you were the one who imported Dangote into the discussion. No ? . .

Keep calling names. Just show us the source of MAN's numbers?? Break it down for us...

jmaine: I also got mine from Dangote , despite you denying the obvious . . . After bringing in the 'Dangote' angle to marshal your points, you are suddenly back tracking after been found wanting . . . . .

The same CNN that told us the map of Nigeria is situated below . . . . .

Stay on the topic son! It ain't about Dangote but about MAN's numbers..

jmaine: Have you seen the Dangote number of Job created in his sugar industry alone . . . . extend such gesture to his cement e.t.c industry and tell us why you shouldn't be ashamed for your bizarre dose of stupidity . . . . .

I got my number from Dangote.. Which was also cited by CNN. I was using Dangote's workforce as an example of what it would take to generate manufacturing job for 1.5million workers.. This discussion is not about Dangote per say, but MAN's phoney numbers.

jmaine: I did rather take MAN well research figures than an e-Nonentity trying to refute them in the most useless manner . . . .

MAN isn't responsible for collating and analysing job figures.. NBS is, and SGF is the supreme "court" of facts and figures in Naija.. Okonjo Iweala and co cited these NBS numbers in the past. Let me educate u once again.. MAN says 1.5million manufacturing jobs while Naija public officials say 1.3 million all-sector jobs! Does it mean that Naija generated 2.8 mil jobs in 2013?

jmaine: You are not smart at all, let me embarrass you here once more like I have always done . . . .
