Nigerians missed a golden opportunity to make Atiku president,the man who promised to sell our NNPC and make it run efficiently as a private enterprise on its own.

A Nigerian who understands the problems of this country.
Atiku means JOBS.

Obasanjo have a different view of your massiah "Atiku"....the mess we find ourselves with privatisation of NEPA was done by Atiku while OBJ was away. This man singlehandedly sold out NEPA with irrevocable license.

That's why you don't have the electricity and you still don't have the prepaid meters in homes despite those being the sole purpose of the privatisation.

...just to note, I'm an apolitical being. I don't support any of the miscreants out there you call politicians....they're all birds of a feather. They belong to the same caucus.

Why will you be worried, when you have a large army of worshippers that happily fund your extravagant life style.

Every time, we warned you, we warned you, all your warnings were useless. If your favorite president is still there, things would have been ten times worse.







Even madam Ngozi knew what was coming.




PDP DESTROYED NIGERIA


BUHARI IS THE ONE TRYING TO FIX NIGERIA

Buhari is trying to fix Nigeria by borrowing to mortgage the future of this country right?

We go dey alright... When the next government takes over, he too will sight how Buhari ruined the country's future with senseless borrowings.

This thing called sense, it must fall on Nigerians

perambulator:
are you daft or r3tarded...which condition ails you? did you not see that part where i wrote or is English your problem?

Did I attack the purpose of the protest? As if I knew there would be idiots and imbeciles like you around I specifically made a point of noting that the protest was an important one yet you respond like a halfwit. Why are there so many people with low IQs around?

Read all you wrote again and rate your IQ level.

Life must have been really hard for you to come here to vent all your anger on a comment with no aduse on your persona. Like seriously, what have I said to you that warrant all these derogatory remarks?

Truly yours is one of the highest rated IQ on reverse.

perambulator:
Not to diminish the importance of the subject but you would think that the people who organise all these rented crowds would have enough sense by now to use different (people) handwritings on their placards. It has gotten to a point now where i seem to recognise the handwriting on the placards. It's as if its the same person writing the placards for all the protests in Nigeria.

You just gave Lai Muhammed a clue on what point to use to underscore the protest... Nice one.

What about fronting a counter protest of your own. #NORTHERNERLIFEDON'TMATTER

Software development na blood money oooo. I paid 300K to learn just Java at NIIT back then. I would advise youths to go into it because it's the only job you can start up without need a capital. It's the only good job you can get in 9ja without needing a BSC. Though I've left Java sha, but the experience I got from Java gave me advantage to learn JavaScript (React and Node), Python (Django) etc.
Instead of you to go do ashawo or yahoo, go learn programming and thank me later. If you no fit get access to materials, I go help to give you some. It's my little way of taking menance from the street

I don talk am before and I go talk am again "the day I go mistakenly born girl pikin eeh, I go ******"

Hello Bro,

I'm on course to becoming a DevOps engineer but I still have a long way to go... please can you link me up with someone to mentor me on this path?

I have some materials but of course, learning from or being guided by an established expert in the field would go a long way.

Baba, link me up please!

@Op, what's the update on the 2nd mother hen?

Was she able to hatch any of the remaining eggs?

I raised turkeys in 2019 and they really grew up well but the female (just one) turn out not to be a good Mom. She hatches but somehow couldn't nurse the poults and I ended up losing her after she fell sick.

Please remember to update the thread. Nice job you're doing

I'm not surprised.... liars in power. That's their only stock in trade.

Lie lie president

I want to believe the police officers around have a hand in this.... organized crime everywhere

Would it not have been smarter for you to check the meaning of Blunt-Force trauma rather than display glaring ignorance and not realize it?

Bros wey mumu, please gimme a video where your governor used that word (bolded above) on the said day he acknowledged the death of one person.

And just to show how smart you are, your governor met the wounded at the hospital and it was confirmed on camera that those victims had bullet wounds. Does it mean that your hit squad that opened fire at the Lekki Tollgate did selective shooting? Like hey there, lie down and lemme shoot your leg.... You there, freeze! I'm aiming at your arm.


Bcus that's the only way to ensure nobody gets killed.

Remember where the counter allegations started?

The military was not at the Lekki Tollgate.
The military was there but did not fire any bullets.
The military was there, but only fired blank bullets.
The military shot live rounds but only did so into the air.

How do you explain these to your 4 year old daughter at home that all those statements actually meant the same?

1. I gave u two options yet u cudnt choose out of the two,meaning u are been clever by half.
2. Foreign media u say?CNN wasn't on ground yet dey reported massacre.BBC on the other hand was on ground and reported no massacre.which foreign media are we talking about again?plus channels was on ground and did not report massacre.
3. How comes with all the number of phones available on ground,only dj switch cud cover d massacre?
4.how can soldiers shoot into d crowd and end up killing 9 ppl?we are talking about soldiers not vigilante ooo..
5how comes ur panel reported dat living ppl are dead?...more questions Dan u can answer bros,forget guilt trapping us,

I'm on my way to work abeg. I no dey on 30k monthly payroll of the BMC, so I've got work to report to... All the best to you and your killer squad government. Tyrants in power.

8 years happens like a flash, your people will soon be called ex this or that and another tyrant can come in and torment us all. Ire ooo

egunna:
one death resulting from what?blunt force to the head or bullets from soldiers riffle?

Let your governor answer that. Shame is no longer a thing in Nigeria. Even after pointing it out here, you still have the audacity to quote me and ask stupid question.

I guess the one death he spoke about on TV was a car accident victim. The one knocked down by his convoy.....I think I've helped you with what he'll say when asked by foreign media because I know you guys have reduced our local media house to gossip mail. They dare not ask his lordship such a question.

I'm not surprised one bit....

But the governor himself admitted there's one death the day after the 20/10/2020. He said that on camera after visiting those with bullet wounds at the hospital.

Now the white paper panel are saying the governor and the panel that sat for one full calendar year are all bunch of liars. Welcome to Naija

poiZon:

Ask him what does the word national means to him/her

SmartyPants:
The argument submitted here is not legally sound. An illegality remains an illegality regardless of who initiated it or whether a party to the concern has willingly participated in it. That is not to say that the panels are illegal or not illegal, but simply that the legal argument here is not convincing.

This man has not even cited a single law or authority to support his position.

"The #EndSARS Panels were set up at the behest of the Federal Government, through the National Economic Council. In the case of the Lagos Panel, the Federal Government, through the Nigerian Army, voluntarily submitted itself to the jurisdiction of the Panel, the Federal Government called witnesses, it tendered documents and it made very lengthy presentations."

Read the bolded part again....Let Keyamo come and deny that. Note the word "through the National Economic Council".

Hero10001:
In Naija, with N780

You can buy 3 bottles of Coke and still have change.

You can buy 7 face masks
and still have change.

N780 can take me from Agege to Lagos Island.

Shortime hotel is N500

Naija rocks.

See Buhari economist.....chai!

Mention a country anywhere in the world where you can take 1Naira to and get 780 of their local currency.....so we can now start to check what that amount can get you in that country?

Wonder why Buhari and his supporters are alike? Just read comments here on Nairaland

SlyDev:
If Nigeria want to make their money stronger, they need to stop importing and start manufacturing to export

But the last time Buhari closed border to boost local production, some bigots said he is targeting a tribe.

I feel offended by your comment and it's not because I am from that tribe you're talking about but I feel you need to understand what it takes to produce before you come out in a forum as this to spew trash.

Do you know the average cost of producing a plastic bag in the present day Nigeria?

How cheap is electricity if at all we have it and how cheap is the alternative?

Do you know how much it cost to move raw materials from your village to Ogun state or other factory locations across the country?

How many producing countries of the world do you see that have touts on highways with legal backing to extort commuters of their hard earned money?

Again, have you attempted to produce anything at scale before and do you have report of companies that have wind up within their first 2 years in Nigeria and what is your lord Buhari doing about it?

tyup:
According to CDC report, not less than 361people are being shot every day in the US. the real question atm is, why is the US still not rated amongst the world unsafe country?? no matter how worse security situation is in Nigeria 2527 persons cannot be shot dead weekly in Nigeria

Truly Nigerians atm is one of Nigeria's biggest problem, tell em Nigeria is more terrible than Afghanistan and watch em praise you for b!tch talking their country. Nigeria isn't even worse when it comes to kidnapping as compared to South Africa but do brainless Nigerians know?? NO

Good is never enough for those who seek the best...hope you know that Nigerians who speak bad of their country are head and neck better than you because they want and demand a better country.

If you think the status quo is not worthy of condemnation, then wait till It gets to the extreme before complaining....but for sane minded people who condemn what our country has become, I think they're the true patriots and not those who for reasons best known to them falsify facts just because they want to compare bad statistics.

Was is this bad some 20 years ago? Hell no....so why should they not condemn their country if things aren't getting better?

kmcutez:
What do you mean? What are they there for? I don’t understand your question?

It appears you've forgotten that we're talking about Nigerian senators....not American senate.

Our senate are the most useless senate in the world right now. Look back since Farouk Lawan became the senate President and tell me one bill they've passed into law that favours the masses....I mean the common day to day Nigerian.

I'll be glad to know if you know of one single bill or probem bedevilling the country that the senate has done something about and delt with decisively.. I look forward to hearing from you

A United States-based group, Global Advocates For Terrorism Eradication, GATE, on Friday, petitioned the office of the United States Secretary of State, Antony J. Blinke, demanding that the United States Government should designate some Nigerian Government officials as sponsors of terrorism, alleging that “from all available indices, what is happening in Nigeria is State-sponsored Terrorism”.

GATE said its core objectives are to stop the provision of material support, funding and prosecutorial protection of terrorists by state actors.

In a statement by its Principal Advocate, Robert Berry, the 26-page petition alleged that the Nigerian government was allegedly sponsoring terrorism by carrying out terrorist activities including training, fundraising, financing, and recruitment of terrorists and terrorist activities.

The organization said that “the Nigerian Government officials have deployed the instrumentality of power and are using the veil of sovereignty in knowingly consenting and with malicious intent allowing and promoting the use of Nigeria as a breeding ground and recruitment nursery for international terrorism activities contrary to foreign relations authorizations act fiscal years 1988 and 1989 (P.L.100 to 204:22 U.S.C 2656f), as amended.”

The letter chronicles numerous terrorist activities that establish the culpability of the Nigerian govt and its officials. Some of those acts include providing funds to terrorists and terrorist organizations; providing material support including weapons and equipment to terrorists, actively and expressly encouraging and inciting terrorist activities.

Other allegations against the Nigerian Government are prosecutorial protection to terrorists by directly engaging in acts of terrorism and extrajudicial killings, using security agencies.

GATE, in the petition, accused the present administration of aiding terrorism in Nigeria.

The group stated that the US Government designating Nigerian officials as sponsors of terrorism will have far-reaching legal implications, including potentially arrest and criminal prosecution in a federal US court if they visit the country.

The petition reads in part: “The balance of terror of government’s false narrative has further exposed the complicity of the Nigerian Government in the anti-Christian butcheries and its monumental failure in discharging its constitutional duties of protecting and safeguarding the citizens irrespective of their religion, tribe or creed.

“The Government has not only failed to provide official credible data of the killings, maiming and Christian properties destroyed or burnt but also undermined, mangled and denied same when independently presented.

“The Government has also failed woefully in letting Nigerians and the International Community know, with verifiable statistics, the proportionality or dis-proportionality of such interfaith asymmetric killings, maiming and destroyed or burnt or lost properties.

“That is to say that there are no credible data from the present central Government of Nigeria or its security and law enforcement agencies including Nigeria Police Force and Defense or Army Headquarters, showing the percentage or number of attacks against defenceless Christian communities by the state-backed and protected Jihadist Herdsmen or reprisals by the victim Christian communities, if any.

“In other words, there are no credible Government’s records or from its security and law enforcement agencies showing the number of attacks against Christians since mid-2015 by Jihadist Herdsmen, number of Christians killed, a number of their lands seized and occupied by the Jihadists and number of Christians’ properties including dwelling houses, worship and learning centres destroyed or burnt or lost to Jihadist Herdsmen.

Government or security or law enforcement records are near totally absent, if not totally absent regarding the number of Jihadist Herdsmen arrested and investigated, convicted and jailed since mid-2015 for killing Christians or seizing or destroying their properties especially their sacred learning and worship centres. Independent records have continued to indicate that such perpetrators are often not arrested but shielded by the security forces.

“On the other hand, there are also no credible records from the same Government or its security and law enforcement agencies showing the number of attacks against Jihadist Herdsmen or Fulani citizens or settlements by the victim Christian groups or communities, number of Fulani citizens killed, number of their lands seized and occupied, number of Fulani properties including dwelling houses, Mosques and learning centres destroyed or burnt by same Christian avengers.

“On our part and independently speaking, the evidence on the ground grossly shows the contrary or contradicts all the Government claims. Apart from attacks on Christians in Nigeria being brutally asymmetric or ‘98%/2%’ ratio; or radical Islamists’ attacks or violence against Christians 98% and reprisals against such attacks or violence 2% or less; the Nigerian Government, adding to its monumental failure to protect Christians and fish out and punish their attackers, has also repeatedly repelled such reprisals if rarely risen or rarely about to occur.

Under the same Government, any reprisal killing of Herdsman is given the widest media attention locally and internationally; with the wheel of justice speeded up against the perpetrator(s). But when Christians are massacred, Government rolls out industrially its media censorship and inaction including aiding and abetting; for purpose of dwarfing or mangling the same.

“Both in principle and in practice, the present Government of Nigeria has provided and still provides maximum protection for Fulani settlements and their jihadist groups and turned and still turns blind eyes, including little or zero response, to an early warning or distress calls on the side of the persecuted Christians and their properties, especially when under attack or about to be attacked.

“Naturally, individual or group victim citizens’ reprisals become inevitable when governing or securing authorities woefully failed in their duties to protect them and go after their attackers; or whereby same governing or securing authorities take sides and shield the perpetrators and cover up their atrocities.

“In the case of persecuted Christians and their communities in Nigeria or any part thereof, they have remained substantially pacifist, nonviolent, peaceful and law-abiding; allowing themselves to be massacred at will; only for the same Government and its security and law enforcement agencies especially the Nigerian Army and the Nigeria Police Force to torment and punish them for being nonviolent.

“Even in the midst of vicious, systematic and coordinated attacks or violence against them by the Jihadist Herdsmen, the Government does little or nothing to protect and secure them other than to criminalize and collectively frame them up with all manners of false labelling and accusations.’’

Tackles FG on Igboho, Kanu

Besides, the group said: “The Department of State Services (DSS), which is the secret police of the Nigerian government, raided the house and killed two domestic staff of a Yoruba Nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho. The activist, Chief Igboho, was protesting the incessant killings by herdsmen in Yoruba land.

It also accused the Federal Government of “conspiring with Kenyan officials to carry out the kidnap, torture extraordinary rendition and continued detention of the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB who has waged an effective resistance against jihadists.”

“The current Nigerian Government is executing a Global Jihadist agenda that is comparable, if not more insidious than that of the Taliban’s of Afghanistan. It is even more dangerous because it is mixed with genocidal tendencies. It is in the best interest of the United States and all the democratic countries of the world to identify this threat early and address it now. This is to prevent the further spread of the global jihadist agenda of the Buhari government and to arrest an imminent ethnic and religious genocide.”

“We, therefore, urge that the United States Secretary of State, designate the Nigerian Government and the listed State Actors as State sponsors of terrorism to kick start the statutory process and legal instruments of holding them accountable for their high crimes of sponsoring international terrorism.

You may kindly note that at the expiration of the two months’ notice, GATE, shall proceed with applying for a writ of mandamus to enjoin the United States Secretary of State to issue the designation”, it stated.

Throwback:
I partly agree.

Nigeria has become a training ground for professionals who would benefit other foreign societies.

This is not just about Doctors but all professionals in Nigeria.

We are mostly trained for "free" in Nigeria, then owing to the poor renumeration in the country, many who are already gainfully employed here resign to go take up job offers abroad, without having to take student loans like their peers abroad who are still paying back from their salaries.

We work with them in their Google, or Microsoft, or Apple offices, in their law firms and hospitals, unknown to us that the salary we enjoy, they use to offset the student loans that got them the degree.

We just earn the same salary as them in their country, and have no student loan to worry about.

In Nigeria, you can be the child of a cleaner/janitor and pass through university with a lot of discomfort, but without owing a penny by the time of graduation. Abroad, the child of a janitor without a scholarship (academic or sport), is only in the university doing similar janitorial work.

I partly agree with you but we're still not addressing the root cause of the problem. Why are these people leaving their country of nationality/origin?

When last did your president receive treatment in Nigeria? How many state governors receive medical treatment in their state?

How many top public officials use the public hospitals?

Why is this trend okay while we frown at underpaid and underappreciated doctors wanting to leave the country to go and work at those hospitals where our politicians patronize?

If there's gonna be a bond on medical practitioners to serve for 9 years before leaving, then past and present public servants must be denied the right to leave the country for medical tourism. Anyone of them who broke the law should be heavily sanctioned with huge fine and jail term.

What a thread!

It's worth the time to read through all the comments. One thing I could deduce from all the comment is that there's no such thing as one size fits all. There's no such thing as a perfect relationship both home and abroad. The same way a man misbehaves in marriages so do their female counterparts, and when this happens, the law always favours the female gender abroad, and these sorts of laws are alien to the African culture and marital values which both spouses were raised in.

Taking a poverty ridden mindset lady out of Naija to the western world can be calamity waiting to happen because the day she knows how much financial benefits she could get from child support or ousting the man from his own house and thus becoming the outright owner, then it's just a matter of time before she went agog to unleash her terror.

Unless you have a prenuptial agreement signed with a Naija babe, I beg of you, let them stay put where they belong here. No carry anybody enter abroad unless there's more to lose on the part of the lady than yourself like a commentor rightly said.

Imagine taking Naija local ekuke abroad and expecting it not to chop shit! Na grace of God you go need for the obvious not to happen. Save yourself the head and heartache.....my 2 cent!

I will Never give up on Nigeria inspite of her current troubles.
There is nothing you can do or say to make me give up. Do or say what you want and I will say or do what I want. We don’t have to agree but we can stay respectful of each other.

The wealth or poverty of a nation is created by the citizens. [s]Instead of just complaining about everything, ask yourself what you have done to increase the wealth or poverty of your country[/s].

Bro, I stroke out that part of your comment b'cuz you think of Nigeria youths as those guy up north who barely pay tax or contribute in any form to nation building other than marry 2 or more wife and give birth to almajiris (in other words, the future bandits/terrorists). Those are the real problems of Nigeria.

Down south, most of the youths are looking for one way or the other to better their lives first before thinking about marriage....ladies won't even give you attention here if they perceive you're jobless. Businesses upon businesses have been killed in the name of FG policies and those who manage to survive are either met with high overhead costs for running their business or they're faced with high cost of importation, High exchange rate, high cost of tariffs....and so quick we've all my moved on from the VAT increase like it never happened.

All the leaders do is to worsen the living conditions of the citizens and sharply ask them not to complain but just move on. That's like flogging a child and not expect him to cry. To whom much is given, I see no wrong in expecting much from them too.

Nigerians have accepted the hike in virtually all that connects them with the government and all they ask in return is good governance but when the youths demands this in return, they term it complaint. They ask them to move on. Is this how nations move forward

I'm sure this NSCDC spokesman must have gotten a job elsewhere or probably has a jakpa plan because PMB and his team of failures will definitely get him sacked or demoted.

You can't be telling the truth to the press in Nigeria as a uniformed officer. If the evidence tabled before you are so glaring that you just have to admit and say the truth as civil servant, then tell them you'll get back to them. Decline calls or SMSs and never get back to them. That's how they do it here but this my guy go dey talk truth

rosema504:
Hello House.
Happy Sunday to you all.

I have 6 plots of land which is 1 acre and I wish to to into poultry farming.

All I need is your advice please. How many broilers can I raised on 1 acres and what type of cage do you suggest ?

First rule: if you're totally new to boilers or meat birds farming, please don't start big. No matter how much resources you have or the temptations to go full blast, please start small and grow with time and experience. There's no amount of books or online contents that beats first-hand experience. Mind you, I'm not saying you shouldn't read up stuffs about it. Read and practice on a small scale.

Also, boiler rearing depends on market. Are you planning to raise and sell them off as life chickens or you're gonna take it further into processing and sell off as frozen food?

Life chicken is seasonal or else you'd run into loss while selling as frozen chicken requires electricity for preservation. Do your research well.

Stay blessed.

Good news.....
