Not a problem... There are many jobless thugs waiting to fill those vacancies.

The Corruption Capital of the Universe won't miss a step.

Jovialjune1:
Where exactly did your generalisation come from? Your imaginations or baseless assumptions right? Can you back up your generalisations with links to support it? No, just trash talk and more emotional, misguided, and misdirected trash talk just to force a false narrative from men on women,

Women are not the source of your life troubles for you to add them to your frustrations.

Okay... You've now been noted and noticed. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Jovialjune1:
You men should try and stick to the narrative that suits you, don't add ladies to it, you do not speak for us, you cannot speak for us, you and your uncle have not and will not meet one tenth of Nigerian ladies to know what they endorse or not, you can never and will never meet one tenth of average Nigerian ladies to know what they want or don't want, either verbally or internally.

I will assume you missed the part of the general statement covering both genders before embarking on this misguided, emotional, and misdirected rant.

Maybe you can't see that your statement regarding "One-tenths" goes both ways... Please, take a glass of chilled water. This is not the time, and I am not the source of your life troubles. Thanks.

I like this Reno... But, I think he has an unflatteringly high opinion of himself.

Visited, worked in some, and stayed in others...

Ogun
Delta
Edo
Lagos
Every state in the North
Rivers
Anambra
Akwa-Ibom (one of the best I visited)
Cross River
Abuja (current location)
etc...

I will say over 20 states.

Traveling used to be so much fun before this failed leadership across the nation.

There was a country indeed.

An uncle told me that consciously and unconsciously, most Nigerian and African men and ladies fully endorse POLYGAMY.

Even the ones that speak against it verbally don't mind indulging in it if the money and comfort are in play.

Well, Op, an average Nigerian lady's interest in a guy is first his financial backbone... For most, his marital or relationship status comes second.

See ehn... Most men in this nation will confess to anyone who is deeply close to them that most of their life miseries began the day they chose to get hitched.

For starters, why would any man even borrow and exhaust his savings on a wedding ceremony or marriage rites??! Yes ma, it is EXTORTION! Plain and simple.

I have it on record that the animosity and gulf between most married men and their in-laws begin at the wedding preparations, and never improve long into their marriages.

Penguin2:
Which of these can you do without a president who is reform oriented and ready to set Nigeria on the right path?

Which?

Absolutely none... Which is why some of us have since turned cynical about the chances of democracy actually succeeding in Nigeria, and most parts of this continent.

Well... It has never been a secret that these idle charlatans are overpaid and crooked.

Penguin2:
So what do you suggest as the way forward in terms of Nigeria’s leadership?

1. Completely sanitize the electoral body. Partially 'uncorrupt' that so-called independent commission by making its top leadership by general consensus across citizenry rather than via selection/appointment. The same should go for CBN and AGN positions.

2. It goes without saying that the current 1999 Constitution has to be reworked to suit a nation destined for unity and progress.

3. A successful number 2 above should pave way for the overdue "Decentralization of Government" for better statewide and regional leadership and focus.

These should be foundational for every other intended progress of this nation... The failure of the above means the nation will never make any serious progress. NEVER!!!

oluwaseyi0:
You got my position very very wrong

It's not about controversial election but more of international relation experience

A new president need at least one year to familiarize himself with stuff like ECOWAS, UN etc irrespective of election/country of origin

And mind you what is wrong with Nigeria election is not enough to make Tinubu not win

For APC to win in 2015 they unite CPC, ACN, nPDP and some others

I keep saying it since last year that Atiku will never win with Obi canceling him out either on the ballot or in the court and same thing goes for Obi

That's why Atiku and Obi are looking for disqualification of Mr Tinubu rather than focusing on validating claims that then won

Get that serial looser to step down for Peter Obi and it will be a smooth victory otherwise both of them should prepare for more heartbreak

You are running circles around the hard truth... But, I understand. That's the price of partisanship. Personally, I can call a spade a spade cos I'm neutral in all of these.

This is the truth:

1. ECOWAS should not have considered Tinubu or any elected Nigerian President due to their being nascent in the role (No need stretching this simple fact).

2. Nigeria's recent Election was highly controversial and this is not subject to argument. I honestly don't care about the chances of Atiku and others... INEC was suspect and shoddy. They could and should have done better to erase doubts among winners and losers.

garfield1:
Always pay attention to details and stop making mistakes.angelfrost is anti apc

Penguin2:
Garfield1 come and hear your fellow Agbado reecho what I’ve been telling you all along.

Tinubu acts before thinking.

I will never understand why a lot of you guys on this forum are so obsessed with stereotyping and labeling...

Honestly, I am generally "Anti-Nigerian politics" which means I equally despise all top political parties and their members... I am Pro-good governance and a firm believer in visionary and people-centered leadership: things Nigeria has not witnessed in decades.

Y'all should learn to shun bigotry and sycophancy, and focus on objective thrusts of discussions.

It's interesting that nations like Niger which are condescendingly regarded as poor nations have incredibly lower unemployment rates than the "Giant" of Africa.

I know many of you sycophants will always bring forth the stupid and overused "Population" excuse (y'all need better excuses), but this nation is nowhere close to the population of some advanced nations.

The nation is simply deficient in strategic and progressive leadership... And, you citizens need to get off your high horses and learn skills. Formal employment (White collar jobs) will continue to decrease as we progress along.

Our leaders should seriously engage with the youth population and create accessibility to soft loans for small and medium-scale startups.

dmostcheerful:
Mr English wey no sabi anything, singular dice is called die.

Btw, English isn't our first language and shouldn't be a measure for intelligence.

Well, it's actually more correct to say "Dice" since that's how the original and widely accepted adage goes... An adage that is rightly credited to Albert Einstein, who said, and I quote, "God does not play dice with the universe".

I agree with you about English not being a measure of intelligence... Even those of us who claim to speak and write it perfectly are not truly proficient in it.

oluwaseyi0:
I think ecowas should not make president less than one year on the sit their chairman

So the president can familiarize himself with lots of things

Tinubu was just barely 2 months into the his tenure when he was made ECOWAS

My earlier stance too... That position should never have gone to a man newly elected from a highly controversial and currently disputed election.

Jagaban is already compromised as it stands.

If he invades, he has fvcked up (The North will collectively rise against him)... If he doesn't invade, he has fvcked up (He will look weak).

Mr. President is in an unenviable position/dilemma right now.

This is why he should never have been hasty to react to the whole Coup issue... He should have simply sat back and observed a bit. Life should not always be gra gra.

Same thing with some of the 'great' policies since he assumed office... So much haste, so little planning and almost zero foresight and feasibility.

Why is he always in a hurry to act and react??! Who exactly is he trying to please??! Certainly not most Nigerians.

He needs to watch it... Seriously.

Sigh... Awon Skull Region.

The very first meaningful and sensible thing this glutton has said this year...!

Kudos for this, FFK.

dennisworld1:
ban d black market.

You're right... That would also help, but not without its attendant difficulties on the average citizens.

This is not even news...!

DSS
Police
FRSC
NTA
All Ministries
CBN
FIRS
NDLEA
EFCC
Etc...

None of them recruits strictly on merit... Not one.

That's why we have so many misfits rising through the ranks (Promotion is ceremonial rather than meritorious), and eventually heading these organizations.


This is precisely why this nation may never see true development... The ROT is foundational and deeply rooted.

The only permanent way to save Naira is to drastically cut down importation...! Increase production and self-sufficiency, as well as start exporting commodities.

All these selfish approaches and counsels from forex traders mean nothing in the long term... The Naira will keep depending on foreign currencies for all major transactions and business deals, with IMPORTATION being the number one culprit.

Nigerians have to start shunning foreign-made products and actually consume more of Naija-made... DSTV, MTN, etc, will have to suffer.

As a nation, we need to straighten out and simplify our Adoption laws... This will put a lasting end to these "Baby Factory" and marketing syndicates proliferating every day.

This should be accompanied by national sensitization and awareness campaigns about the ease and joys of adopting kids legally without stress for couples unable to have theirs.

Johnrake69:
Shettima is a charlatan. Is carbon dioxide emission the problem of Nigeria and Africa in general?

The top 5 global economies produces more than 70% of global carbon dioxide emissions. And they haven’t come up with a crazy policy that will starve their people under the guise of reducing emissions

This administration is gasping for breath and clutching at straws...!

Anything and everything is a justification.

Don't you see how dumb their supporters sound every time they attempt to back these comical statements?!!

Yeah... And increase stress and fatalities due to poor citizens dropping dead from hunger and trekking.


You people are doing a great job there.

RockHard:
Tone down your voice. No be fight. If dem no send out the 'invite' (as the heading of the thread clearly reads), those wey dey japa there no go consider dem.

Well... It can't be Canada's fault that grown ass men and women don't have a mind of their own.

RockHard:
This Canadian desperation for poaching artisans no be here. Yet dem no gree request for taxi drivers coz na the fallback job be dat for all the many still-jobless professionals dem poach come their country.

Desperation??! Are they the ones desperate or those jumping into the Japa bandwagon without proper plans and research?!!

Canada is not compelling anyone to relocate to their nation... If you must go there, at the very least, try and do proper due diligence.

The things I like to hear... Let the foreign love spread to non-medical professionals too.


This is why education is key, even if you want to be craftsman or artisan... Still try and get a tertiary education and degree.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
Some people were rejoicing when Emefiele was dishing out his disastrous policies thinking it is in their favour. Thank God for Tinubu. May Almighty God continue to increase him in wisdom.
That Emefiele is a criminal.

Am happy that those who do not have the sympathy for Nigerians lost at the Presidential election. Only Tinubu the man with empathy won.

Don't you worry... Soon, y'all will run out of people and things to blame.

You think you can give excuses for 4 years?!!

Nigerians had enough of that for 8 years from Buhari... No one is interested in excuses any more! No one.

shortgun:
AU and ECOWAS that could not proffer solutions on how to reduce poverty in Africa is concerned about democracy.
What's the usefulness of a system of Government that can not better the lives of the people.

ECOWAS has long outlived its usefulness...!

Everyone knows this.

There are people in worse situations who never resorted to robbery.

If this is true, Tonto will have a week-long party!

Good job NLC... Keep these crooks on their toes.

Subsidy removal is for the best... However, the policy must totally favor all citizens.
