This language is unclergy- like. How could you call people 'shameless', I mean a whole ethnic group. If this is true then it is not good enough. Even if you think they are not united, encourage them. Disunity as an issue in Nigeria is not only evident in a tribe, it is of national magnitude.

.

He didn't display tact. however, he didn't call the whole ethnic group 'Shameless'. He referred to those who opposed others in the ethnic group publicly to the ridicule of the whole group.

I told you, Nigerians are so happy to watch their heads cut off with a blunt saw as long as everyone is on the same page with Igbo hate.
One example is 2015, people took GEJ out because they felt he was too close to Igbo people but look at Nigeria today lol. Before 2014, agriculture was booming, people were traveling around the country even in the night , Inflation was low but they took him out. The people that took him out are destroying themselves with banditry while the rest are harvesting their people’s organs to be able to survive the hardship they inflicted on themselves. Nigerians from those parts of the country are shameless.

Buhari's administration has essentially failed.

However your arguments are faulty. Particularly the highlighted. The core Northerners (suffering Banditry) neither 'put' Goodluck there nor 'removed' him.

They (Core Northerners) Voted the same way (Pattern) in 2011 as they did in 2015 — For Buhari. So they can't be said to have 'put' him there when they never voted him.

The other Nigerians who you accused of removing Jonathan in 2015 for being too close to the Igbos.
You forgot that these same people (Chiefly the SW) Voted massively for GEJ in 2011 especially in Lagos.

So then he wasn't close to the Igbos right?
GEJ is no Saint. Compared to this government he looks good (hence the nostalgia) However, He should ask why people who Voted for him massively in 2011 turned against him in 2015.

Yes & NO.

First, You Job sponsors your lifestyle so I am grateful for it.

Secondly, only few, If ever, would always enjoy our jobs.

Remember still that our work (to toil) as men was cursed.

UK and US are the real snakes here. Instead of encouraging peaceful negotiation they're quietly arming Ukraine to fight a war they have no chance of winning. Even if Ukraine eventually wins the war the casualties and property destruction won't be worth it. The UK and US will now step in with high interest loans to help rebuild Ukraine while becoming perpetually indebted to them. Either way, Ukraine is still never going to be a truly free nation.

I personally would have just preferred to be indebted to Russia without the loss of lives and heavy loans that will follow.

War is bad. Peace is priceless.

But make no mistakes, Ukraine CAN rise out of it ashes with a determined people. Debt nonetheless.

Could you tell me how Germany (for instance) rose from the doldrums of war in the 1940s to the highest net exporter in Europe in the 2000s within 60 years? Outdoing even those who didn't have a war?

'No chance winning'?
Tell that to the Afghanistans in 1979 against Russia.



You also forget that if Russia stops fighting today, the War stops. But the same can't be said for Ukraine.

aliondo:
Yh...he was a fine footballer...you attended Navy too?

Ya.

aliondo:
You attended Navy?

He definitely did.

There's no knowing him as FatJoe if one didn't.
That name emerged from NNSSPH.

His size betrays hims, many don't know Henry was a decent footballer.

TroubleMaker47:
Fat Joe don hammer!!!

You certainly went to NNSS PH.

Hahahahah!

marv1:
Nawaoo for you.


The two of them went to same big secondary school here in Lagos even before the father became a governor and opral Chioma had been that big size . Her sister is not big as her

So nobody is a gold digger.

LIES.

Henry never did high school in Lagos.

He schooled (High school) in Portharcourt, Riverstate.

Wanbissaka:
Henry done blow

Wow,

Do you know Henry (Ifeanyi)?

makavell7:
Chinmark and Chimall where never real businesses they jwere just passing arround some products to make it look like they were doing buying and selling but their main business was the piramid ponzi.

The rule is that any business or organisation that ask for money to get back double in a short period of time or says you should bring one person that will bring one person is a piramid ponzi scam that would eventually run away with the whole funds!!!! know this and have peace of mind

You're right.

That's why I have the 'real business ' in quotes in my comment.

Appleyard:
I read it. And that is why I used it as an example because it is old. Old things generate problem.s.on their own.

The US ship wasn't war-deployed though, the Russia ship was. That's a big difference.

Appleyard:
A ship of that Calibre you say? Is your Covid-19 affecting you?

Here is a US ship currently sinking on its own as we speak while on port:

You can't shit old age.


Even new ships develops and encounter problems, not to mention ship built in the 1980s.

https://edition.cnn.com/2015/12/13/us/navy-ship-milwaukee-breaks-down/index.html

Change that your username o. Just kidding.

That US ship you refer to is a WW2 relic in a display type museum currently seeking funding for care.

You probably didn't even read the story.

smallrincowis16:
You seems to be uninformed. You can't demilitarized Russia, that's what NATO knew very well, now, they are on the verge of controlling see if azov and most of the black see. That's a real threat to NATO which was their main aim of arming ukrain or ukrain joining NATO.

As for the loses it is bound to happen but go and check most weapon Russia has lost were disposable weapon not even near the best of their armament. The MOSKVA that was lost was due for retirement but since new cruiser is under construction/refurbishment it has to continue to serve, for the past 10 years it has not been deployed beyong it's natural zone which tells you the situation of things with her. And the only useful thing on her was her big radars other things are as good as nearly useless. Why didn't ukrain strike those coveat that were hauling missiles at it if it really intended to cause damage??

So you're suggesting that Russia invaded Ukraine with disposable weapons — putting the lives of their soldiers at risk (fatal) just to save the 'mordern' weapons back in Russia?

Wow!

yrex01:
Na why I like russia bout this war, they always come out plain even gave estimates of soldiers lost in war but till tomorrow wester makes it look like nothing spoil for ukrain just to make country like Finland n co end like ukrain.
Evil west

Which Russia always come out plain?

The same Russia that said they were not going to invade Ukraine?

Give us a break!

makavell7:
I couldn't help laughing really hard after reading your bolded submission, I cant believe you are equating ponzi piramid setups to these solid and reputable companies that sells goods and services and are listed on the nigerian stock exchange! are mmm or any of all these your funny sounding socalled investment companies listed on the nigerian stock exchange? Anyone who invest his hard earned money in any company or platform in any form or name deserves to be ripped off and i have no sorry reserved for them.

A fool and his money will surely depart sooner than later!

You should read the comment I was replying.

By the way, 'reputable' goods & services companies can become ponzi schemes too.
Chinmark group for instance does 'real businesses ' too. You can be scammed by listed companies too. Go read about Peter Ololo & his play in the Nigerian capital market.


My point is that the model of these cooperatives isn't fraudulent (our forefathers have had cooperatives from time immemorial) it is the fraudulent people & false claims of 'juicy' returns that are to blame.

West1side:
How much of your money did you put into such venture kn Nigeria

I haven't put any.

By the way I am not encouraging people to do so.

I am merely questioning the commenters (the one I quoted) argument that there's no investment that doesn't require the investor's presence.

Well that's not true.

Nigerialabalaba:
abegi joor. SEC don say make people check with dem first before putting money for any investment. All dos companies no be dis yeye ponzi

SEC is nice but sorry to say, it is not fool proof.

Do you know who Albert Okumagba (+) was?
He was a former President of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers of Nigeria.

He was also the MD/CEO of Bgl securities.
So we can say he was the establishment (or part) of the investment community in Nigeria.

Why was he ousted as CIS president and why does BGL no longer operate today? Largely investment fraud.
Even in the US, Bernie Madoff use to host SEC executives to dinners.

Don't get me started with Peter Okolo and the likes that defrauded several Investors — all under the nose of SEC. Am I saying SEC is bad? No! I am just admonishing these business guys to be more Trust worthy. If I can't invest in my family/friends who I know directly or through a trusted friend's referral then such a country is doomed.

Great Investments aren't always a (suit & tie) all formal endeavor, they are also borne out of trust. SEC or no SEC.

May God help us.

Bounceboune7:
A fool and his money will soon part ways,if mmm no teach people lesson then they can't learn again.

Nobody will go n work n bring money for u,use your head

People actually work for investors & bring money back — while they themselves are being rewarded — without stepping foot at those companies.

Most commercial banks, Dangote, MTN, BUA foods etc all have investors who put their money in them and earn dividends periodically.

Even cooperatives like REI co-op exist in the US. A few Real Estate Investment trusts exist in Nigeria e.g. UPDC.

The model is not the problem here. it's our corrupt tendencies at play so don't judge a concept by its flawed application. Most Nigerians — especially the Business class lack integy.

ExcelDBM:
Benzema might clinch the golden boot if they win the UCL

Actually there's no real golden boot for UCL competition.

The Golden boot is purely a League affair.
It nice to be too scorer of UCL though.

Elder4sure:
Brother be bold to say it! ' Education na scam'.

When you're truly educated you'll decipher that these guys are outliers. They are the exceptions in an exceptional industry (entertainment).

Making decisions with the outcomes of outliers is hardly a smart move.

Education is still the most [guaranteed] path (NOT perfectly guaranteed though) to economic prosperity.

richeeyo:
USA invaded Iraq during the time of Saddam, when Iraq was the 4th largest army in world, his army,airforce ,was conquered in 4days
No threat of nuke against Iraq then
The Almighty Russia they threaten countries that don't even rank 25th in the world with Nukes
At this point The west would make sure Russia is behind the world 30years
How many of you have ever held a made in Russia product.
Russia is has been leaving in the soviet era glory
Honestly without nukes
Those Yankees and their marines can take over Moscow in a week

Kai.
Saddam wasn't wise at all. That country should have been great! So sad.

JosephXavier:
The West have turned on Russia but Putin will surely have his way at the end

Putin is a very smart man who with his experience, must have seen these before the Ukrainian invasion

They way made the Russian economy to bounce back, he will do something again about this

The only thing u want African leaders to do is to learn from Europe bus to look for a way to corperated and protect the continents and don't allow any external force to commit those atrocities within the boundaries and go free without giving it a fight

...before his Ukraine Invasion.

You make it look like someone else invaded Ukraine.

Sergio104:
Omo×100.


It's a great time to test Yolloba yoonity

2 political contestants vieing for positions is not necessarily a bellwether for 'unity'.

After even the north (notable for their unity) have several candidates in their governorship, Presidential & senatorial positions.

Unity usually comes to play when one is a front runner (after primaries) and requires support from his /her GP region.

lightskinnigga:
The same trains they refused to build in south east.

God has a way of rewarding ppl

There is literally a route from Portharcourt to Maiduguri that goes through the southeast currently under construction. Enugu-Awka- Owerri must be retracked to make PH - MD possible.

The government had done poorly without the need to add lies to it.

Ammishaddai:
I still dont understand why some Christians choose to worship in places that are unsafe . Anyway, I can't blame the pastors who setup such structures since they're only intrested in growing church offerings

Unsafe is relative.

Nigeria is a poor and negligent place to live.
Even the place you go to work tomorrow, no one truly knows its true structural fidelity.

saphiere:
MOST TIMES I would just sit down and wish God didn't create the male gender.

Even God regretted creating this gender.

You do know that man used in this verse represents both male & female gender, right?

Banks are literally Financial services companies.
They are not in the 'real' sector.
The Real sector constitutes production of goods and services other than financial services.

Financial services companies including banks & your Remita are quite brittle companies relying heavily on mutual trust and confidence.

A bank can literally shut down in a week or 2 due to bank runs or other such shocks.
See bank runs in Russia for example.
Remita & co are strong payment intermediaries that CAN lose business through competition. Hard but possible.

Saladdin:
Op, the worst companies to work for are Asian companies especially Indian, Lebanese and Chinese companies.

Most have faulty structures, no clear career growth plan, high rate of nepotism, Ageism, meager salary and stunted promotion. Examples of those Asian Huawei Technologies Lagos, Daraju Industries Ibadan, Sumal Foods Ibadan, Gongoni Company Kano, Multipro Kano, Yale Food, Ibadan, Sinoma International, Lagos.

For Indigenous Companies, avoid the likes Glo, Dangote, Saroafrica, DISCOs, GNLD & Co, Insurance companies, Most consulting companies, Contract Staff in Nigerian Banks-In short, stay away from Nigerian Banks, One-man businesses with no concrete structure (will keep mentioning as they come). Though some pay well by Nigerian standards, but they are filled with nepotism, toxic work culture, high staff turnover and will work you like a horse, compromising your health, sanity and little to show for at the end of the day. Don't let sleek suits, perfumes and decorated offices deceive you, a golden handcuff is still a handcuff!

I'll only advise shipping companies, American and European companies in any sector, Oil Companies (Downstream), IT companies, INGOs and if you are ambitious and daring, you can consider working for startups with a clear-cut structure and a promising future (no matter how small they are at first).

Keep mentioning their names and save Nigerian youths from slavery!
Work for those useless Asian and toxic indigenous companies at your own peril!

You've almost exhausted all Nigerian companies with your desist list.
People may not have choices though, realize that.

KlausMichaelson:
Good evening,

Straight to the point. I graduated last year and I am yet to get my statement of result from my school till this day(the fault is from my school). I recently got a job which I am to resume this new month. So I perused through the letter and found out that I am to show a proof of my degree. Already, my Employer knows that I am a recent graduate but I didn't explain the part of Statement of result.

Please how do I go about this?

Have your HOD write your employer.

Thorhamma:
This now war crime!!! Hope una no go start hashtag... Pray for Ukraine when Russia start they own?

Russia start their own?

What do you think Russia has been doing in Ukraine over the last 1 month ? Playing football?

How are thousands of Ukrainians dead and Millions fleeing as refugees to Poland /Hungary? Are they going for Camping?

May God help us to be wise.

justified007:
This guy is not serious at all .


You dont just wake up one day and declare an intention to run for the office of the presidency of a country




NB: Our Southeastern people and their politics of emotions . . Peter Obi urchins can continue with their insults but I stand by my comment above .

Even the Kingsley Moghalus, Sowores are out their struggling to gain people's attention and someone went back to his village, gather some lowlife traditional rulers and informed that that he's contesting for the presidential election and they expect us to take him serious. You know how long we've been hearing Swaga Noise ? Osinbajo is everywhere consulting , Atiku issuing press releases Everytime and his declaration was attended by people of high and might , Amaechis , Wikes and others have been making noise everywhere but Obi left Abuja to his village yesterday and told his village people he's contesting for Presidential post and some nitwits are taking him serious . Bunch of jokers

How many days does a man need to wake up to declare?

BluntTheApostle:
The UK military is overrated.

No one doubts that.

But For you to suggest that the Ukrainian are better is laughable on your own part.

That they are overrated doesn't mean we should go to the other extreme to underate them.

At the height of its glory the UK controlled almost one-third of the world — Less than 100 years ago!
While they've faded, to deny their capacity is unwise.
