So what can Nigerians do for themselves without outside help? Please tell me. Is this not supposed to be an opportunity. Forget stock fish. It's an imported product that has been around since I was a child. Eat what you can produce yourself except your land, water, and knowledge cannot be used to produce it.

I recently came up with a patented invention in a different field from my own professional area that solves a major problem in Nigeria that cost hundreds of millions of Naira or billions annually. The most perplexing thing when I sit down and think about the whole thing is that what are the so called professional in that particular sector doing about that problem. I tire for my people o.

Theirry Henry is a better striker than kanu nwankwo so it is no surprise that Henry benches kanu nwankwo..

The advantage Thierry had was speed. But in terms of football skill and ball handling Kanu was the master. Their style of play was different. Thierry was more direct while Kanu was more sleek and tricky. It was a question of what style fetched more goals. A bolting speed and an above average football skill will likely get more goals. That's why Mbappe seem to be successful. And Theirry also had enough techniques too.

Jestin:
Kanu was one of the best in Arsenal but was not highly appreciated maybe because of his skin color.

FTC

But what skin color is Thierry? Nationality play a major role because the French and English media would cover Thierry more.

Kendumazy:
Let's be very honest. The bucket seems clean. Look at it very well, it still looks sparkling. Could be a unit given or allocated to them that they didn't use for dustbin or rubbish purposes. We shouldn't in the name of trending online snap anything offline and make false allegation about it. Yes! It's a container and some people can keep it in their store and not use it for rubbish or dustbin storage purpose.
It's now left for the government to prosecute them for not using it for the government intended purpose and not you snapping it to go online and make false allegation about it.

It's the shirt seller again! Check my signature below for more details.

There is no allegation about this. It's okay to assume based on the image or maybe confirm from the individual transferring water into the waste plastic. In fact government ought to have think about all these possibilities before implementing the program and educate residents accordingly.

shogsman:
Two were provided and they only needed one,what were they supposed to do with that valuable big container.

Two, one for recyclable waste and the other for general non-recyclable waste.

Ah! Poverty is a bastard. How much does it cost to buy a separate plastic to store water. Can anything really work in this country with the kind of population we have.

BluntBoy:
Be humble. You can't learn by being arrogant.

The student did not merely accuse the management of incompetence, he accused them of misappropriating funds, and licking asses for political appointments.

Supposing Mr X is the VC of FUNAAB. He budgets 1 million naira every year for ease of transportation, but after five years, the issue remains unresolved. Would you just conclude that Mr X has been misappropriating funds, especially if you have no evidence?

What if Mr X has been mismanaging the money, and not misappropriating it?

These are things that the law looks at.

Incompetence can make you mismanage funds. Mr X may never have even embezzled funds in his life, but his incompetence continues to make him mismanage funds.

That's why things need to be discussed openly. The university authorities should have published a factual response that shed light on the questions raised. As usual old men feeling too big to be answerable to the students they are employed to train. A reflection of one of the general problems in Nigeria. Big man mentality.

In the eyes of the university authorities and average Nigerian they are doing the right things but in the eyes of the world outside Nigeria the university authorities has done more damage to the reputation and image of the institution as a place where open debate cannot be held over student issues. These folks are surely dumb. I imagine they got their PhD in Nigeria or same institution.

Going by the first sets of comments here it is clear that Nigerians generally do not know the meaning or essence of a University. It is meant to be a place for free expression where you can stand out to verbally challenge the authorities based on facts. You don't clamp down on a student that raise important questions about welfare of all students. Is it not for the common good. The comments criticizing the student just for to show that Nigerian society is filled with individuals who cannot differentiate left from right or right from wrong. This is truly a dark continent.

Blacks are just bunch of cry babies honestly. I still await the day a blackman will racially abuse a white man. If you want to enjoy your career as a footballer too, avoid playing in Russia and Italy.

How contradictory. Surely you are one of the million of koons in Nigeria.

2) Ploy to make all xtians chop EBA for Xmas

whatever the reason sha, it was never for the benefit of d masses.

Time to go test your IQ.

MUMUdom:
I pity you nigerians. All you is talk nonsense. This is 2019 for God’s sake. Most Nigerians reason like people in the 1960s and 1970s. How can anyone imagine that simply because Ghana sent officials to Abuja over the border closure meant Ghana’s economy was in trouble . some even said Nigeria was the one feeding Ghana it’s amazing the way most Nigerians reason and they claim they are smart people

Mr, you are likely not Nigerian. I watched an online program with a Ghanaian minister. Going by all he said if Nigeria decides to close its border for a longer period, the economy of many Ecowas members will collapse. Do you folks think in terms of numbers. A 200 million market surrounded by countries with population of 8 to 30 million. The minister said certain Ghanaian products are only good for Nigerian markets because our standards lower than say Asian countries or Europe. This is not about chest beating or anything of sort. The entire Ecowas market is sustained by "standardless" Nigerian economic system. Demanding high standard products will have a huge impacts in terms of cost to these Ecowas countries, not to talk of totally closing land borders. Other Ecowas countries are lucky that Nigeria have always been "blessed" with dumb leaders.

AlphaStyles:
talking about old China they too imported the old days from other countries if China is so strong why don't they lock all borders don't import again since it can sustain itself

U keep missing the picture Nigeria is different from China

China in terms of advancement is different if u think u will follow China and b successful then u are in for a big shock

Technically China still doesn't allow a lot things into their country. From technology to religion and commercial products. They dictate the terms. And they do not have the mindset of playing "big-brother" to any lame-duck back stabbing countries. Their interests comes first.

maynation:
Do you know since when china has closed her border?

You can't compare the current China's development to Nigeria's and it's an insult to talk about this. Let's the comparison be between the China before the border was closed and the now Nigeria. China noticed how foreigners were saturating her dear country with so many things, from products to religion to culture and this idea of border closure came up.
Now the question is, did this border serve its purpose?? YES it did. And all thanks to the reasons for the implementation. The only reason why China can go to different first-world countries and preach whatever they want is because the country has improved dynamically on local products and self sufficiency. Now they can woo other countries with their products, that is because they have products to show off. It wasn't magic, it was determinations and well-planned reformations. Things didn't go smoothly when it all started but now we all can see the after math of the whole sacrifice China made.

This is the phase Nigeria is, to decide if to be self sufficient or die as mere consumers of goods from countries that we are even 100 times better than.
Lets not politicize this thing, I am a member of the PDP and believe me when I say this is the only reasonable thing this administration has done even tho the basis for the implementation was somehow wrong.

But the challenge here is the mindset of most Nigerians compared to average Chinese people. Nigerians do not know anything about sacrificing and it is always about immediate gratification. China strategies were implemented from cover to cover until they became a manufacturing hub. The key.was that those at the helm of affairs had a clear idea of what they wanted and how to go about it, and the populace were in line. Though they made few mistakes (environment pollution etc) but these can be redressed. Tell me, can our political elite sacrifice as well. Nigeria has too many citizen saboteurs with enough foreign counterparts. First implement capital punishment for corrupt acts, life-sentence for economic crimes like smuggling, then diverts huge funds into infrastructure, especially transportation, reorganize the customs service (heavily) and close land borders across the country for 2-years, all simultaneously. And Nigerians should remember to copy and imitate/produce as many western technologies as possible until they can recreate these as theirs. If these can be done to the letter, I bet what would emerge will be a totally different country. Nigeria is yet to take advantage of the size of its population.

JONNYSPUTE:
All these people supporting it are only being hypochritical as if we Nigerians are not experiencing the negative impact from the shut down.

What negative impacts? Because you cannot produce your own food or your life is dependent on things that you as a people can create but have refused to do so. Or you are involved in one form of smuggling and a business around it. The ports are still working.

Imagine, ordinary Ghana export sub-standard mango juice and other products into Nigeria which their own minister admit in an online tv program that such products cannot be accepted in China or any Asian country not to talk of the Europe.

Tajbol4splend:
How would someone offer you green card and reject it

And what does Green Card get you? Remain in your illusion. Let me send you pictures of hoards of homeless people sleeping on the street near sub-zero temperatures in major American cities. Yes, the same America. If you assumed you can't make it in Nigeria then you are unlikely to make it in America. It's a mindset. Best you could do is join the rat race to keep Uncle Tom happy.

A lot of reasons why many African Americans thinks most Nigerians are "koons".

Double wahala. A south african and a white guy. Really?

Anyway, is it not Nigerian ladies.

Simply exchange the "u" for "i" and you got yourself a potential most richest black woman in the world.

On a serious note, you can name your child any name you wish. Especially if the name has some symbolic meaning as you pointed out.

Magu is a mad man. What about the petition against the Bourdillon rogue. Start with that first. Leave all this distraction. Looking for soft targets. Nonetheless these Yahoo guys need to be dealt with too. But start with the petition on hand against that frog-eyed Bourdillon rogue. This is coming from a born and bred Lagosian by blood/origin. We want a Lagos that work for all and not just a few.

madmohamed:
if IBB can run away and Abacha die then who is buhari let him try it and see

I use to joke with many foreign nationals from African countries who have or are experiencing long-term dictatorship that Nigeria is filled with too many power-hungry individuals that any attempt by an individual president or head-of-state to over-stay his term by forcing himself on the people will end in disaster for that individual.

The masses on their own will choose to be powerless against such individual because of their high level of "docility". It is the power-hungry powerbrokers themselves that would do the battle. It will be battle of the evils against evil.

Sterope:
Does your culture support using the internet too?

What are you talking about comparing natural inclinations to using the computer. Did God put computer in your mother's womb while she was pregnant with you?

Human being flying? Until you share a video of yourself flying in the sky....

Do you see the names of his sponsors. These are same group selling LGBT agenda in Africa. Recently Ghana president had to come out to deny complicity when the United Nation sex education curriculum developed for schools turn out to include LGBT topics for Ghanaian kids.

I dont hate anybody. In fact I have a friend who turned out gay and he had the tendency from childhood. But they must not be allowed to shove this in our face. They should keep their shit to their private places.

I am sure he has backers in top places or from the West. That's why he has the balls.

[i]It Shocks me how CNN network pampered this case of Ms Kate Hill like it was nothing.. Infact stylishly avoiding the Matter..
all because she is a Leftist!

Just Imagine if it was President Donald Trump...

They would Have Crippled Him ......



I Pray GOD Should give my Country, Nigeria a "President Trump"

[/i]

You need to be examined by a psychiatrist. A president that grabbed women by the "puss-" and said this himself. Do you know the number of women that have accused Trump of sexual harrasment?

This guy is crazy. What right do you have to arrest and handcuff a private citizen like you. Because you are a popular musician or well-to-do. You will soon learn the hard way. I wish they could get a lawyer to sue you for illegal confinement. Even if what they do is wrong. The right thing to do is to detain them until the police arrive.

Fuckgovt:
bck man company never do u something. Since mtn changed to mtn Nigeria, the staff welfare dropped drastically.

Build your country. No one will do it for you. What's hard about extracting oil from the ground.

It's a lie. They are trying to arm-twist the government to give in with respect to the royalties they are owing. They must pay. They simply want to scare the government who may rescind on demand for the royalties because of the fear of unemployed staff. It's all antics. If you know how western corporations operate in Africa, it's not surprising. Buhari should hold them well.

idesylvester:
You mean American government? because Nigerian government are busy with sharing formula

Why would those whose agents attempted to unleash evil on you be the one to immortalize an individual that help chained down the evil,

No one has raised the question why that messenger of death decided to head to Nigeria. You all think it's coincidental. The enemies was just testing the guard of the largest black nation. They are everywhere working on their population control agenda in Africa. Few even visit your lands and you welcome them with open arms. What is wrong with you people? Inspite of your experience of slavery and colonialism.

I dont think these politicians can ever imagine that one day all the sophisticated defence equipment can be manufactured locally in Nigeria. It's not rocket science. If you invest in education, the military and the right industry it's all possible. The collaborative work between universities and the military in the US is why the US is far ahead today.

omonla10:
Big stature no good o.. So u mean she was 44years when her husband became president.. She looks way older than her age

That's my thought too. She couldn't be 54yr genuinely. Maybe that's her political age. Abi, is this not Nigeria.

Stabbed with what? Knife or something else? Why in heaven would knives be available to be picked up in a home for mentally unstable children. Such should have been locked away and taken out for use only by workers. Maybe there was an error of judgement somewhere
