its not tribalism nor partisan opinion...i believe his kinsman obj is still nigeria's most patriotic president...i wasnt in any party in 1993 either...abiola hated igbos and showed it openly...just like tinubu is doing nw...or will u too say tinubu is not currently showing open disdain for igbos?

After 25 yrs someone will call tinubu best president we never had

Obviously you don't know what you are talking about. Like everyone of the other tribe hated igbo. Then why did the Igbo voted for him in 1993 just like other tribes from all parts of Nigeria. Tell me who else has got that kind of supporr across every parts of Nigeria. Don't compare Abiola with Tinubu. We all know Tinubu is an opportunist. Abiola supported people irrespective of tribe. If I may ask, what's your age because apparently you are probably too young to comment on this topic.

Nigerian fiotball league of the 80s and 90s was quite popular. Now people of your generation are all focus on the premier league.

It's the Greatest Country on earth. Take it or leave it!!!

If America were human, he would be a very good salesman with a fairly okay product that give the user an immediate but short-lived satisfaction.

America is a product. And that "greatest country" in the world slang is meant for their citizens to feed on.

A word is enough for the wise. It's a rat race out there.

This is what I've never stopped pondering over, if he/she cannot be trusted with anything, why marry each other? I dunno how people cope in such marriages where I have to be cautious with everything. My husband knows my PIN, I know his too, I know his business buddies, I know every contract he's doing or about to do, we decide together what to venture into and what not. I am more or less his manager and we're happy so. I think It's true most of the problems plaguing our society is deeply rooted in family. God help us.

What if the spouse you marry betray that trust along the line. What will you do?

Banks are only keeping the funds. It will eventually return to the state coffer if not claimed by family members. But trust Nigerian banks to hide the funds from the government.

Whatever my spouse does not know about my finances my eldest child know.

Toy companies are one of the most profitable businesses in the world. Not everyone will own Mercedes. Simply start a toy company, package these plans and cars and sell.

Nice idea.

Lots of ignorant Nigerians. Lot more people are robbed or shot dead in the United States than in Nigeria. There are some neighbourhoods in the US she dare not go with that van. Sure that things are generally secure but it's because of better law enforcement. Below is murder and rape rate in United States, a country with no terrorist, militant or ethnic clashes, in last few years.

Murder/Homicide (killed violently)
2015: 15,696
2016: 17,250
2017: 17,284


Rape/Sexual Assault
2015: 90,185
2016: 95,730
2017: 135,755

Or you want to try Brazil or South Africa? You will thank God you reside in Nigeria.

It's only in Canada excluding cities like Toronto and Vancouver that I can live my children to play in front of my house all alone and go to sleep. Here in the US, you have to watch them like a hen watch her chicks against vulture attacks.

The West have falsely sold you the idea that your society is not safe and you all are reinforcing that even though its not true. Here the level.of order and level of enforcement is what hive people a false of security. People carry guns around like its war. Make the mistake of going to knock on the wrong door while visiting a neighbourhood, you will likely be gunned down. And if you a black, increase the risk by a factor of 2.5.

Don't worry one day Niger delta oil will be exhausted, dat time i still want to hear the Northerners shouting "one Nigeria" o

Can't wait. It's taking too long.

I am seeing "credit line". So India is also looking for its own African maga country to give humongous loans to like China and then come back to take up national asset if the debtor country default. They know quite well that the funds won't be used for the purpose its collected for.

Daviddson:
Lol. I laugh at Nigerians who study small Literature, Philosophy, Law, and think they've become too woke and the next thing is for them to begin throwing jabs at the Bible and then becoming atheist.
Alas most of them are in one secret cult or even more. Who are they worshipping or getting favors from, if spiritual powers don't exist? It's a senseless platitude to continue over repeating the statement that the British used Christianity to colonize people. How come they didn't do much of evangelical work in Arab countries, but still colonized them all the same?
Mention one country including China that 'banned' religion that respects human rights. None. They only banned formal religion and replaced it with state and their leaders being the god. In North Korea, citizens are mandated to hang the portraits of their Supreme Leader in their homes and bow to it in reverence. That's a pseudo religion!
Are you saying the Chinese are not a member of the United Nations whose sub-agency came up with the definition of 'human rights' ?

Spirituality and religion are two different things.

��� so scared of water right now

I almost got drowned at Santa Monica last year, I got rescued in no time, if it was in that useless country Nigeria I would have been gone by now.


God bless the US government always

By the time you wake up, the same system you are praising would have practically sterilized all your female offsprings and their kind because they fear you are all multiplying faster while their own population is going down. What do you think is fueling Trump attack on coloured immigrants. He said it clearly. He preferred immigrants from Norway to immigrants from Nigeria or Haiti.
And the country you use your left finger to point would have passed you by. Alakori

He must have been a government contractor.

He was rejected by Nigeria 2008 Olympic boxing team. I don't believe their story though for the reason given.

"Obisia Nwankpa, former Commonwealth champion, world title contender and chief coach of the Nigerian boxing team, tells the story: "He reached out to us, asking to be part of our Olympic team, so we invited him to come down and take part in trials.

"Unfortunately, he did not appear when we asked him to and came down only when we had finished our trials, finalised our team and were about to travel for a training tour. Maybe other coaches would have accepted it, but I could not."

9jaBloke:
. I heard an unconfirmed gist that he tried his luck with Nigeria and wasn't given a chance.

You are right about that. He was actually rejected by Nigeria Olympic boxing coach for some crazy reason. Obisia Nwappa knew about it.

Fadomero:
Very soon this one go dey shout say them popo him wife shameless donkey

Keep quiet. Who is the donkey here? You of course.

The VC just took a pose with "white-jesus". He seem all proud and couldn't wait to post the picture online.

Nigerians are too docile. Not even a street protest at the South African embassy. What kind of people are this? No civil rights movement anymore?

Joromi12:
she was killed by someone who knew her. has nothing to do with south africa

Like you were there when she was killed. Go make a police report then.

These politicians are so backward in their thinking. Decorating an equipment to launch it. I prefer a picture of the excavator at work in the middle of a blocked swampy drainage.

Livefreeordieha:
useless country death and birth aren't recorded... Everyone forges birth certificates... Villages and rural areas are completely alienated during census, there are communities dispersed but under our territory... Nigeria is too big... Even the so-called well read knows this but no brain capacity to do the needful...

We are over 250 million... I grew up in Nigeria and I know the useless census is a flaw..

Did you say Nigeria is too big? Several states in the US or Canada are bigger than Nigeria. Once I travelled by road for 8 hours within Texas.

Racoon:
What difference does this make for goodness sake?
Meanwhile, how did the NPC arrived @ this figure when the last national census was done in 2006? What are the demographics? Guess this rash is not to pacify the populace because of the alleged cattle/animal census the FG is proposing to start doing?

The rate of population growth is known. This and the population number of 2006 is used to estimate population increase per annum, which is then added cumulatively for each year to the 2016 population number.

All na bragado.... America dept stand at $22 trillion. The only reason the American economy has not collapse is because the risk is too much. Many western countries economy will go down with it. But D-day will come eventually. African countries should be wise not to tie themselves to western economies.

segzyndpep:
Please share some insight with us who are still in Nigeria just maybe we may consider staying and not going.Some of us have invested more than 10m and its nothing to write home about.Try and convince us and stop telling us to think deep in this unstable economy.If the business grow can we guarantee it will still maintain the same level of growth in 10years when it might be too late to migrate?

You are all probably doing copy-cat trying to do what others are doing. Nigeria is a Country of 200 million people. Few months ago I met a Nigerian lady in Houston who only came for 2 days for a marriage ceremony. You won't believe the business the family does. They export a particular waste product from butchered cow. She claims they are the number one exporter of this product from Nigeria. Opportunities are endless but most Nigerians are focused on the wrong things.

Yes, we know the country is tough. Ask yourself why Chinese and indians are flooding into Nigeria. You may not have the kind of funds they have but you are a local and should know in and out of your country.

chaiks:
Since you have a bachelor degree in, study route will be the best. Calm down, apply for admission in Norway, Finland and Germany. If you get admitted, your 4m will help you get visa without tuition. By the time you finish after two years, you must have realized a lot from part time work, get a higher degree and international exposure. If u go into business, you might regret.

Ok o

blackboy:
Honestly the West and UN has failed. Boko Haram is not a local problem. UN office in Abuja was attacked by them. Countries has lost their citizens to their crazy attacks. If the govt is not ready the world should trace the supporter and financiers as well as the commanders of this notorious group and name them and jail them

Don't be surprised if Boko Haram is a CIA backed group. If you educate yourself of how these western angel of death operate you will know it's a possibility. More so the herdsmen killings. Note that Nigeria is top on their list for depopulation agenda. If the poisoned immunization vaccines does not work fasin the north then direct killings would. Our people should educate themselves on global agendas of clandestine western interests. That Africans are marked down for depopulation to ensure sustained supply of resources to the West. Search the internet to read the address of French president on need to control population growth in Africa. I am sure he stated the same during his visit to Lagos. And Bill Gate is funding vaccination in the north already. Go to YouTube to listen to what he said on how to control population growth in third-world countries. He said "through vaccines". The Israel government have already sterilized many black Ethiopian Jewish women. It's all in the news. You all should get enlightened that you are all marked down. Same for me cause I live in the den of the lion where there is fear that population of blacks and Hispanics will soon exceed that of white majority. For the blacks, it is easy, throw their males into jail or gun them down for any reason.

They are already among you in southwest. A company named Veolia in US responsible for lead poisoning of water supply in Flint, a black community in Michigan, has been shortlisted by Lagos State government to manage water supply and infrastructure in Lagos. Read the story here:
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/monicamark/lagos-flint-veolia

Is it coincidental that the French president visited Lagos in early July 2018 and a little after, a French company was shortlisted to manage Lagos State water resources?

Awake my people.

Okoroawusa:
Reno Omokri is taking Leah Sharibu's mother all over US Christian Charity Organisations meetings, conferences etc just to get money from gullible white Americans who might not know where Nigeria is in world map but want to have the self righteous feeling that they have done something to help someone.


Also Rebecca Sharibu is basking in the euphoria of her accidental fame as a result of her daughter's kidnap to make something out of all these( she is a celebrity now).How many Nigeria would kill to go to U.S.A? I bet she never had an international passport before her daughter kidnap.



Rebecca Sharibu should be wary of people that want to take advantage of her n her situation (I remember someone offering this same advice to Jumoke the bread seller turned model.Where is she now?)


As the Igbos would say"Tabugbo.Agbacha oso aguo mile"

Then if Reno Omokri is involved in this, it's all political. Reno is a PDP man that would do anything to smear an incompetent APC government. Leah's parents should have been wise not to associate with Reno because they will still need the APC Buhari government to help.get their daughter. Not sure if they have good advisers. Or they are simply ignorant of how things work in the real world.

religious indoctrination is a terrible thing.
This girl would've been reunited with her family if she were smart.
I know some fools will attack me and say I'm blaming victim you all can go fúck yourselves with your dumb political correctness. Boko Haram is a terrorist group you don't rub shoulders with a fúcking terrorist, do what's necessary and get the hell out of their grasp your God will understand.
If you ever find yourself in that situation don't be dumb like that brainwashed little girl.

Extremely daunting that a little girl would be that courageous in the face of terrorists. But I understand perfectly, she is just a little girl with no wisdom. That God or Jesus does not expect us as humans to be perfect. God is not interested in your religious hardwork but he is more interested in how you treat one another.

Sad part is them running to the white folks that gave us "white jesus" thinking they will get help. The U.S. will simply use their case to play politics with Nigeria's government. If Black live matter to the US government. US black population won't be under daily threat of been shot by police or lynched by unknown suspects. What would a helpless parent do though?

God know better. Buhari you will be remembered for been the most violent president Nigeria ever had because you watch and you are not doing much as your tribesmen kill people of other tribes daily. Maybe you will end up in Hague on charges of ethnic cleansing. I know power that be in Washington and London won't pursue that because of political reasons.
