Rubbish.

Obj banned importation of fruit juice, we all cried and shouted. Today we have several fruit juice companies in Nigeria. You hardly attend a party and see foreign juices. From Chi to Dansa, they have dominated the market providing jobs and helping to grow the economy.

Nigeria learn to feed yourselves.

Nice point. Then it used to be "Five Alive" juice which was an import.

I dont have to read this story. Why would a country want to continue to import food. Are Nigerians so lazy and unproductive to the point that they can't farm to produce their own food. Or you want Buhari to come farm for you?

Nigerians are generally lame ducks. Here is a foreigner coming to your country to found an Okada hailing service with a bulk of the revenue goung outside.

Before anyone dreamt of Uber or the idea of someone getting a ride on a stranger's car in the USA, we had Kabukabu. Sad that no Nigerian ever thought of removing the inefficiency of getting on a Kabu-kabu by connecting kabu-kabu riders to drivers that own kabu-kabu.

I dont know why the government continue to allow this program to run on tv. Is it because they always want something to distract the youths because tens of millions of Nigerians watch this stupid program. Lazy Nigerian youths would rather watch the program than engage in something productive.

OROSUNBOLB:
Yes o! Poseidon,the god of water is highly unpredictable.

Which Poisedon? Stupid Africans! Don't you have local versions of your own gods of the sea. In Yoruba cosmology Poisedon is akin to Olokun. Be proud of your own culture rather than the white-man. More so, the black-man predates the white-man meaning our own history and culture existed long before theirs. You are the original man irrespective of your place in current human society. Everything else evolved from you.

What's going on with the way young Nigerian male youths die by drowning in large body of water these days. This is like the 3rd incident within a space of some weeks. I love water but I don't move close to large bodies of water because I can't swim just like most blacks. Even when at the beach I only allow water run against my feet. People should be more careful. At least they should have something on to keep them afloat.

O man listen to those beautiful testimonies of others about this edifice. Listen for a change na.

The guy is probably right.

GreyLaw:
Beautiful. Passing through this area at night it's a beautiful sight to behold.

But it looked out of place because the adjoining neighbourhood still look trashy. Lagos state still has a lot to do. Its a good facility but everything should fit in to create a working system.

kolafolabi:
The girl get mind sha.. She for kukuma carry the mattress join. To be candid, why would she want to steal the TV without being caught. Her brain needs to be checked.

It's actually easy to steal. I am currently in an hotel in Lagos and the TV in front of me will easily fill into my big luggage. But why steal a tv in the first place. Is tv now a luxury?

GidiWoodsMan:
Africa is the Dark Continent, the habitation (by choice) of malformed, stunted souls who incarnate as wild animals but delude themselves and pretend that they are human beings.

Sorry you have lost all self esteem to the point that you feel the need to degrade others that look like you in order to raise your own ego. Pretty sad.

TroubleMaker47:
It's not a question of race but that of morality!
Her dad robbed Angola blind for 38yrs and she is a direct beneficiary, if i where to be in d shoes of her billionaire neighbors, i definitely would be irked by the idea of her flaunting her ill gotten wealth to me! And if i can sabotage her, i definitely will!

Why not leave that to the law enforcement. Leave the Angolans to fight for themselves.

judgementyard:
In as much as I don't condone corruption ,all I see from the neighbors attitude is pure envy.

The fact that she is black and African is too much for them to handle. Though one can't look away from the fact that her wealth is outcome of corrupt enrichment. Same thing well-to-do African-Americans experience in the USA. In one case, a neighbour called the police on his black neighbour who happened to be an Havard professor. The professor was arrested in front of his own house while trying to gain access into the building.

Oh boy this my Ibo bloda take eyes go market oh.
Nice one, imagine the kind of babies you’d make with this natural sweet angel and not some angry black Nigerian slay she wolf.

Were, He-goat! I will forgive your ignorance.

SlamvipeR:
Trevo Noah is a South African .. Dude got mad jokes and good at mimicking people in his stand up comedy I don't know how he does it.. He is one of the best comedian in Africa right now after bovi

Bovi? How can you compare Trevor Noah and Bovi? They are not at same level irrespective of the fact that Trevor is better known internationally..

odigbosky:
Nothing here is guaranteed at all. That's why those with jobs here in Nigeria and those without jobs still run abroad

At the end of the day my conclusion is that traveling out to seek greener pasture elsewhere is a temporary solution. Because I found out most Nigerians that left the country at some point are hoping and yearning that Nigeria work so they could return. In fact significant number are returning. But occasionally with bad experience on returning. So, the "demon" we are all running away from is "sitting on the bench at home" waiting for us. Until we all.stop running and face our problem head-on, we are only fooling ourselves. I went around Lagos in last few days and my conclusion is that the weakest links are the government/public officials and docile masses who choose not to question their government. In the affluent areas I see new businesses and structures that were not there when I visited some years back. But in the slum part of Lagos, specifically on the core Lagos Island, nothing has changed. In fact things have deteriorated even more with hoardes of idle youths, inaccessible roads, terrible sanitary conditions. Surprisingly in all.of these, people seem to be catching their fun as if its all normal. We Nigerians have a terrible tolerance level that it's getting suicidal.

uthlaw:
it better to be an illegal migrant in diaspora than to be legal in this country,don't explain anything just help me get the visa...

Until you experience the life of an illegal migrant you won't understand. It's by yourself you would wish that you never left Nigeria. Some move from one country to another in search of "paper" and its not guaranteed. You could end up moving through five different Europeans countries with so many years wasted. Experience all depend on the country. If this was pre-2001, maybe you can survive easily using some illegal means to make a living. I am not saying some don't get through at the end of the day but it's an horrible situation to be in. Because we are not God we can't predict and know which would have the best end result. Staying in Nigeria to surmount the struggle or going out in search of a new life elsewhere. But not all that glitter is gold on the other side. The same way there are homeless people and beggers on the streets of Nigeria, there are just less on the streets of US. I certainly won't discourage people but advise that individuals know the ups and downs of what they are getting into in order to manage their expectations. The only way I can advise a youth to get out of Nigeria is through educational means. It allow easier integration but it's also not guaranteed and the outcome depends on the country.

afonjabreed:
you could have at least pointed at my mistakes and correct me

Do not let those who think they sabi grammar pass queen of England confuse you.

Desperateness as used in the sentence is okay. Desperateness and Desperation are both identifiable words with specific meanings.

[/b]Desperateness: [b] the state or quality of being desperate.

As used in online blog writeup:

"Most of us never have to experience and then survive the desperateness of imminent death."

I met a Taxify driver yesterday who said that a US visitors visa is all he needs to have a good life in the US and that a job is waiting for him. That got me cracking. When I told him that no one is going to employ him because he has to live as an illegal alien once his visa expires, it's like I was talking gibberish in his ears. Too many ignorant Nigerians.

My father used to say "I am sorry" or "I am sorry I was wrong" to me, many times right from my childhood days. I will just say its a question of how enlightened the parents are. Not a question of how educated they are. Same way I apologize to my kids if i am wrong about anything.

hammerVJ:
But as a country, Nigeria is a scary place full of wickedness.


I can no longer spend a night in any hotel in Africa. Fear no go let me sleep.


This started with the south african hotel.

You think Nigeria is scary, then go try USA. Though they are hiding it from the world. As at last week there has been 255 mass shooting in United States in 2019 alone. Just last week or there about 29 people were massacred in separate incidents. Last Thursday my daughter shared a post with me of mass shooting threat at the Wal-Mart in our neighbourhood. Your kids go to school or you go to shopping mall and you are never sure of what could happen. And worse part is most recent shootings targets Mexicans. If it were easy to identify Nigerians in the US, some crazy white dude would have done that because Trump often mention Nigerians in his usual anti-immigration rants. It's easy identify Mexicans unlike Nigerians who can't usually be distinguished from African-Americans.

Stop your rants about "hotel in Africa" as if Africa is just your hometown. I am posting this from an hotel in Lagos. Stayed here multiple times and no issue.

Jayslicky:
Some of them returned the money, this can't happen in Nigeria, the speed that money will be picked in a short time you would know that Nigerians have invisible magnet to attract money to hands.

Is because they know the would be caught. There are video evidence. Human being are the same. Stop demonizing yourself and people of your kind.

realestniggah:
They need forest guard they advertise

They need someone in government they tell only their family members

Funny but better take what come to you or go on the street to proclaim your own RevolutionNow. When real men fight for the weak its the same people that are been fought for that would criticize them. It's OYO .

The Department of State Services (DSS) has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja to seek permission to detain the convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore, for 90 more days pending the conclusion of its investigation.

So DSS arrested someone for such a serious crime without carrying out or completing proper investigation. DSS and EFCC are like brother and sister. They do investigation after arrest.

Halo22:
They have forgotten that records will always hold them guilty. Buhari proposed revolution prior to 2015 election.

He was even more violent in his utterances. Buhari said "dog and baboon will be soaked in blood". Which one sound more violent, shouting "RevolutionNow" or shouting "dog and baboon will be soaked in blood"?

livebyday:
Gradually you say ?

In my opinion Nigeria has already sunk far away from what makes a country a proper democratic society to reside in

Insecurity is at an all.time.high , poverty is abound amongst the citizens hence.they have turned to crime

Some times I wonder is this is the same country of 10 years ago where foreign investors where flocking to?

This same country 10 years ago had steady GDP ration in double figures per annum

Inflation was at an all time low

New.start ups where spring up and there were venture capital companies willing to fund them

Konga received $15 million direct foreign investment

The economy was growing steadily

Now it's all gone

Nigeria is looking more and more like a country on the brink of collapse and.civil.war

I will pray for you all

To be honest, don't let us fool ourselves. Most of what you see happening during Jonathan time was driven by corruption funds and high price of oil. That's when oil price was at its highest ever.

GloShare:
Wow




Sowore is ready to sing. We'll soon hear the story on how they ganged up against Jonathan by funding Sahara Reporters.

If you are not lazy you can use Google to know how Saharareporters is funded. For the fact that it's an America-based entity money cannot just flow into their account anyhow especially from Nigeria. Secondly they do not accept adverts so as to stay objective in their news reporting unlike quake newspapers in Nigeria.

Jayslicky:
if this happened in Nigeria premier league that referee would be buried alive in that stadium, Nigerians detest someone cheating on them.

Big lie. How about the politicians and public officials stealing left and right? What have they done about that. People who are been robbed in the daylight and would even give a song of praise to the pen-robbers.

Komu1048:
God will punish all the people putting tribalism into this #Revolutionnow. God why r we so divided that prefer to fall in isolation that to rise together. Please think revolution

Don't be fooled. Most of such posts are coming from paid online mercenaries.

bid4rich:
I listened to Mike Ozekhome yesterday on Channels TV and based on his analysis on 'Revolution', I ask myself whether the Federal government (Buhari inclusive) actually share the same meaning with SAN.

If they actually do, Sowore shouldn't have been arrested in the first place.

What a tyranny!

Even Buhari led his party public protest against Jonathan.

Kajoka:
To save face.

If there wasn't such evidence they would have kept mute like the case of Nnmandi Kanu.

Bro We talking Sowore who has been in active activism since the days of Abacha.

This is a game of Chess. It could go either way.

Sahara Reporter would keep releasing one thing or the other till the polity becomes saturated

Note:This is just my private opinion. I hold sway for no one

No, since the days of Babangida. One of his first protests was against Babangida scam IMF loan which IMF later admitted recently was a failure as most of their loans given to African countries.

Kajoka:
throughtout the video non of the DSS guys noticed the cameras. that shows the low level of intelligence in Nigeria.

trust me they would have gone with the tape if they had noticed it.

Most of those ruling Nigeria are low IQ individuals especially those in the security forces.

trevormide:
Governor Wike of Rivers state dissociated Rivers state from the Revolution Now protest because the same Sowore gave Buhari his party to use to torment Wike in the last elections.

Remember the APC had no candidate in Rivers state for the last Governoship elections. The APC backed the AAC candidate. You remember how Ameachi backed the AAC candidate with federal might, using the army to scatter Rivers state.

Now this same Sowore is organizing protest and Revolution. Who is deceiving who? No wonder Governor Wike has commanded the arrest of any sucker who does this protest in Rivers.

No, it was Rivers AAC candidate himself that sold out. Not Sowore. Every state candidate worked independently. The party at the national level distanced itself from the Rivers state candidate decision to work with Amaechi. Stop spreading lies. I suspect you are one of the paid internet mercenaries. The amount you are been surely won't get you out of poverty.
