Maybe if Jonathan had won in 2015 we would have appreciated Buhari more. Not to say that his govt hasn't messed up but people aren't seeing the positive side. They're only comparing bag of rice, beans, price of fuel, etc. In a country of so called eduacted people. The ones that even know refuse to educate the uneducated. Do you know how expensive Kerosene is in other countries? Kerosene is jet fuel, and its very expensive, the government has just been wasting money to be able to provide it his cheap it is. But I know that if all these useless subsidies we don't deserve get removed, Nigerians will wake up and figure out alternative ways. Just like how we're figuring out how to grow our own rice because imported rice is expensive. I don't see any serious challenger for 2019. All the politicians I see are just campaigning based on the 'surface conditions' and not telling Nigerians the truth. They're not campaigning because they actually want to serve us, they're campaigning because they want power. We don't have democracy in Africa yet, instead we just 'elect kings'. I might likely still vote for Buhari or Osibanjo in 2019 unless I see another candidate with a well laid out plan and specifics on how they intend to achieve it.

Feeding fat on the proceeds of corruption. Why won't they be fat and healthy. APC are just as bad as PDP. Just more incompetent and inexperienced. And people who are holding PDP up as a better government as those people who don't care how they get their money, where it comes from and the effect on others who are not in a position to get money. Unfortunately majority of Nigerians reason like this. And we're upset when we are labelled a nation of criminals and fraudsters. Don't look for which government is better. Look within ourselves. We are just as bad as our politicians and leaders. And I still say Buhari is one million times better than Goodluck Jonathan

I would like to light a candle for my husband Victor Ogun, who passed away on the 19th of July 2017...2 weeks ago. He was buried on Friday. Still can't believe. Don't think I will ever feel normal again. What do I do with all this pain? I try to read, write, I pray, sing hymns, play with my boys. I have to be strong for their sake. Lord take away this pain in my heart. I will never stop missing you my darling. You are free from pain now. Rest in the Lord.

See them huffing and puffing because a wise woman is training her sons well. He-men! No wonder even an international waka-waka said you people are only good for fun and entertainment not marriage and family. Sorry oh!
Good job Omoni. I have 2 boys and even with great academic performance, I still taught them to cook and keep house.

ExInferis:
And herein is evidence that Nigeria is led and peopled by idiots equally.

What else can explain the fallacious mindset that a former president cannot be invited to a panel of inquiry in the nation's congress?

You idiots assume the mentality of the rogues and defend them on the basis of some primitive tribal considerations, and later you all complain about being broke, jobless, and hopeless.

Doesn't matter who in the past was summoned or not, who appeared or not.

The law supersedes everyone and everything.

Unless we accept that fact, we'll forever be lawless and backward.

And you'll forever remain lingering here incessantly arguing about trivial things while your commonwealth is hauled off in the background.

Fools.

You just said a cotton-pickin' mouthful. One million likes. We are the architects of our sorry existence and things will NEVER change in this country except for the worse. If these people on nairaland are a reflection of the generality of Nigerians, then its a sad state of affairs indeed.

What a good looking pair. He's loyal too. Most men will dump the 'struggling times' girlfriend to find a slay queen that'll reflect his new 'status'. Good guy.

Ehiscotch:
I am not trying to downplay or belittle the alleged threat, but I have heard Nnamdi Kanu say the same even if not worse. Everyday war keeps brewing as a result of different agitations in parts of the country.
When unrests like these happen there are bound to be audios such as these - some are released for the sake of it, others in a bid to heighten the tension.

Very true. People are acting as though the hausas are supposed to smile and look on meekly. Authentic or not, every word in that write up is true. You don't threaten violence and expect others to fold their arms and look at you. Or are people claiming they didn't watch nnamdi kanu's videos where he abused and threatened Nigerians, asking his followers to kill? How many people came out in condemnation of that?

These pictures are promotional pictures for the Ciroc brand. The group of them are brand ambassadors. Its a luxury brand hence the private jet and luxury cars. Y'all need to get a life. Be abusing people who don't know you and would never wish to know you. Wife material indeed. Like you're husband material? Right
Jakumo you are hilarious!

I think the guy has a point. Even though he's just being a typical busy-body Nigerian, he said what seems apparent and what a lot of people think. Mikel sometimes looks like he's trying hard to fit in and belong. Nothing wrong with that but she doesn't seem to be making the same effort with his people. Or the naija people no like foto? Granted, family lunches don't have to include the 2 families.Just that it would be nice to see his people included in some of their pictures. You never do. It would be nice to see her in our own setting too. Doesn't he have any family in Europe?
Anyway if you put your pictures in social media, you're inviting comments. They won't always be what you want to hear. Enough busy-body from me.

coolcatty:
Get married....stay married for 2years and then come back and slowly re-read this your statement.

You need to realize that there is more to a man's state of mind than a pretty faced woman.

I could say the same for millions of Nigerian women who have been through the same at the hands of Nigerian men. I guess they're beneath your notice. The person being cheated on is a Nigerian woman. So why condemn all Nigerian women? How is that relevant now?
They way we are abused and called names by our men, going by what one sees on Nairaland, Nigerian women should start to look further afield for partners. Other African men or non-Africans. Since we're so abhorrent to Nigerian men.

liciouspee:
Sorry, what's that suppose to mean? U don't just sit there n tag a whole tribe that. I take an exception to such rubbish. Is there any tribe, u won't find bad eggs. Please don't say that about my hometown again.
Thanks

Thank you. Please tell him.

sammydirectly:
Who will create the Biafra? Lol see mumu o. You will create it by yourself. Tell all your legislators to do the needful.

Nigerians actually want you people to go. And the North has demonstrated that. It is the insults you hauled on them daily they can't bear anymore. But you can't continue insulting all of us and yet you are not doing the right things by leaving. You can't live peacefully with people you call cows and goats, and yes zoo.

Spot on!

Hi Op. My hubby and I researched St Kitts some years ago. What I remember is that they have a programme where they offer citizenship for a ton of money. Its a holiday spot. Not sure there are business opportunities aplenty. At least not enough to appeal to our Naija taste. Lol!
Why don't you try New Zealand or Australia. Or Canada thru the study route?

The security man sef. Who begged him. These Chinkos need to be taught a hard lesson.

Why can't people just let kids be kids? Is this not too much sexualization at such a young age? She probably just wants to tear off everything and run outside to play.

Omenkata:
[s][/s]
trash

You're so right. Utter rubbish from people who like to think they must be the center of a woman's universe. They are hardworking single mothers who have raised or are raising great upstanding young men and ladies.

You beat me like this and still take my children away??!! Nigerian women are too weak and docile.

People are actually making excuses for this!! What is wrong with Nigerians.?

Paentera:
Your lot and the victim mentality never cease to amaze me. Little wonder serious Nigerians keep you at arms length.

I tell you. People filled with such self importance they think the world revolves around their tired little lives. Please spare us.

This is a bloody lie. I left calabar this morning for abuja. People don't know or care what is going on with arewa and Biafra. The sit at home thing was not done in calabar. Everyone went about their normal business. Bogobiri is calm and peaceful. This is just silly and not very smart propaganda.

PLENTY JOKERS, PLENTY COMEDY.
Emeka(real name) is in Lagos,
married with 3 kids and you see
him locking his plaza anytime and
every time in support of Biafra.
Emeka recently bought two plots of land around Badagry and
already the foundations to a 4
bedroom masterpiece is taking
shape on that land. Emeka is from
Anambra state, a single pin he
owns not to his name in the village. Yet in Lagos, Emeka goes
about shouting for all to hear
'Biafra or I die'.
.
.
Musa(not real name) is in Kaduna, tired of a constant nagging
national anthem from Emeka,
Musa assumes a potentially
dangerous identity and declares a
90 days ultimatum telling the
Emeka's that all of them can leave his domain and disappear to their
Biafra. Failure to do so, they
would be forcefully evicted.
.
.
Dapo(maybe it is me, maybe it is not) is falling for a pretty
intelligent damsel whom he is yet
to tell how he feels about her. He
is worried that he as a Nigerian
won't be in love with another
Nigerian but rather a foreigner called Biafran. What an anomaly,
for he would be needing to travel
from one country into another
just to see his in-laws who were
once neighbors but now
foreigners. .
.
Dapo's case is small, love they
say can break barriers, although
who knows how much a Biafran
pound would exchange for when the time for dowry ever comes.
For it is often said that the dowry
to marry from that region in
Nigerian Naira can make a young
man hug a transformer, how
much more would it be in Biafran pounds. Just hope by then Dapo
won't tell the Oba of Lagos(that
one that told Emeka to jump into
the Lagoon) to allow him dive into
the water when he is told to bring
3 billion Biafran pounds which would be about #300 million
Nigerian Naira before he can
marry their beautiful Abian
princess. That is if they even
agree to allow him after the
second civil war that led to a separation.
.
.
Musa the unknown spokesperson
declaring absolute and beautiful
bunkum on behalf of the entire Northern youth is already getting
a warning from his sensible
governor who is ordering that all
such irredentist fanning the
embers of tribal war in his state
be arrested. What a governor, if only Emeka's governors aren't
cowards and follow the footsteps
of the Kaduna mallam, our unity
might not be as shaky as it is
right now.
. .
However, in my true life fiction, it
is Emeka one needs to pity the
most. Emeka who for once
haven't held his governors,
chairmen, senators, representatives and himself
responsible for the neglect in his
region. Emeka who thinks all
Igbos scattered worldwide hold
the same views as his and would
point fingers to all others in a constant self-absorbing manner
that selfishly belittles the pain and
neglect other regions suffer too.
Emeka would mostly act as if the
North and West don't have poor
people who have no hope. To imagine that it is this same Emeka
that statistics can prove a penny
of his money is not going into the
development of his region(unlike
Musa and Dapo who still
contribute a little to their regions) screaming the most for a break
up of his country is just too much
palm wine taken in excess.
.
.
Musa, Dapo and the strong headed Emeka need to come together and
truly see that the problem is not
themselves but those who have
selfishly enriched their pockets at
the detriment of their people
while posing as their leaders. If only they can stop the joke, stop
the comedy and the call to shed
innocent blood and go after those
who have held them in bondage
for decades, then they can have
true liberation for themselves as Nigerians and not as breakout
factions acting as puppets for the
same selfish greedy leaders using
religion and region to separate
them.
. .
Musa, Dapo and the ever
industrious Emeka, Oya give
yourselves brain today. No more
jokes, no more comedy. You can
unite to shame your common enemies. It is very possible, yes
it is doable for us to have a united
prosperous Nigeria that shall
respect the rights of every man.
My name is MICHAEL ILORI, and I
just want to make Nigerian sense

Great piece!

ALMUSTAQIM:
HONESTLY,

THESE IGBO, IPOBS, MASSOBS & BIAFRANS ARE ALL COWARDS. KAWAI

JUST A MERE THREAT FROM A YOUTH FORUM. SEE SHAKY SHAKY EVERYWHERE.

LEARNT THE NNAMDI IS EVEN MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO TRAVEL TO CÔTE DI VOIRE

THE GOVERNORS ALREADY PANICKING

KAI SHEGE

I don't know why people still attend this so-called university. It is a disgrace to the catholic church although it is not an official church owned school. 3 of my young cousins went there and it was the same tales. That priest is a shyster. I understand he was defrocked. Any truth to this?

Lloydfolarin:
.

One thing that baffles me in all this brouhaha is Igbos' hypocrisy. Where were your elders when Igbos were calling for genocide against Northerners and Yorubas? Where were you and your likes when that useless boy called Nnamdi Kanu was asking Igbos to kill Yorubas and Northerners without any provocation? I said it then that Igbos were(are) giving their support to Radio Biafra that was using war-calling and genocide rhetorics against Northerners and Yorubas but if other regions begin to operate the same hate-preaching radio station against Biafra, Igbos ll be d first people that would scream blue murder

The moment others react to your madness, your wailing and victim mentality set in and you begin to scream blue murder.

Imagine what we are exporting to other Countries.

And we expect to be respected outside the shores of Nigeria.

Sometimes it's not always about the Politicians, but about the conducts of the Citizens....

Not sometimes my brother. All the time. Politicians are Nigerians too, exhibiting those same tendencies to be found in an unfortunately vast number of Nigerians. What a pity.

winj3:
The same racist pig who said only English-English shouls be James bond actor when Idris Elba was asked to do it?
Useless african colo-mentality to celebrate this racist here!

Not to mention that he dumped his wife of decades to marry her friend. My least favourite Bond. ( Not including members of the Non-Starters club like Timothy Dalton). The typical pervy British schoolboy type.

omohayek:
It isn't just that the place is full of imbeciles - which it certainly is - but that they combine the worst kind of stupidity with the most intense tribalistic and religious hatred. One has to be both incredibly ignorant of Nigerian history and full of poisonous hatred to be relishing the prospect of a coup, as if the Nigeria's military leaders have ever shown themselves to be better than the politicians they claimed to be kicking out for corruption.

Jubilating at the thought of Osinbajo being ousted by a coup is as stupid as rejoicing because the house of the next-door neighbor you dislike is ablaze; it's not as if the consequences will be limited to him alone.

One million likes. Nairaland has truly gone to the dogs. Every time I come on this forum I feel like a good scrub afterwards.

alizma:
God bless you, if there is no police extract or other concrete evidence to show that his phone was actually stollen, the guy should be bundled into the next flight. I am still waiting to see how the Nigerian authority will react to this irrespective of his claim. the girl's life is in danger because she was threatened, that should not be allowed to go like that unless concrete evidence of lost of phone is presented.

True. Is there no one in law enforcement on this forum? Besides people who have their phones stolen usually do 'welcome back' on the telecoms networks to retrieve their numbers and contacts. Or can one chat on whatsapp without an active line? Racist mofo. I detest Arabs. Always have

Yet another instance of how the Nigerian political class embrace each other across social, political, ethnic and religious lines. Attending each others parties, weddings and other occasions. While the rest of us, especially the misguided youth, spend our time and energy bickering, hating and fighting each other in their defence, proudly and defiantly affirming those
social/political/ethnic/religious divides that were strategically instigated, entrenched and nurtured by the same politicial class. What a hopeless situation.

eyeview:
Those are men who don't have sense of worth. They go after such women because they lack self esteem and thus require such flashy and high maintenance oloshos to boost their ego and worth. Any man who has a sense of self worth will just marry what his heart wants, not for ego boosting.
Am married. My wife is a church girl, so Jim-jim sister, a medical doctor and the most domesticated woman I know. Yet, we have the best friendship. It took a lot of convincing for over a year before she could allow me take a step into politics.
Been married for over six years and I have never had cause to cheat on her(and I intend to keep it that way till death),even with all these high maintenance daughters of eve looking to reap where they did not sow.
I don't need all those celebrities to make me feel like a million bucks, they aren't doing me a favor.

Like I said, I wish most men will be like me, these girls would have stopped feeling like they are God's gift to mankind.

Way to go!!!

Great writing from the OP. It is such a joy to read a well crafted piece. I don't necessarily agree nor disagree with him. I'm one of those who has experienced an arrogant incompetent doctor (one of the best, we were told), who managed to leave a surgical implement in my husband's leg during surgery. It was an absolutely dreadful experience that left me with very little faith in the Nigerian health sector, including its personel. It brought home in a very personal way, the horror stories one reads or hears about in the media.
That said, I experienced pre-eclampsia when I had my son in 2005 so I know the delicacy of the condition. And I cannot speak enough of the absolute professionalism and care of the staff of National Hospital that cared for me when they had to carry out a CS to bring out my 30 weeks old baby. The great paradox of Nigeria.
