Nigeria's problem is not corruption but lack of creativity.

What do you produce that you expect to be living at the standard of any western nation?

Nigerians are creative enough as evidenced by their successes abroad. When I look at the broad Nigerian market,I see a lot of products made by optimistic entrepreneurs but I know that lack of electricity, stealing by staff and multiple extortionate taxation will not let them progress.
We don't need to live on a par with the west but our children should not be going to bed hungry either as is happening under the present Tinubu government.
Corruption has finished Nigeria and that was possible only because of the low quality of humanity indigenous to Nigeria

Flangelo12:
Do you actually think Nigeria cam afford to pay 10 pounds into every account?

Nigeria has not always been a nation of two hundred million people, stealing has always been the bane of Nigerian society. The average Nigerian is poorly disciplined and lack control putting his hopes and fears on superstitions and prayers.
At present Nigeria might not be able to give every citizen ten pounds sterling but they should at least be able to have a working refinery and competent low fee hospitals. Low quality human beings steal the common wealth while the higher quality ones rise above self interest.

Population of Guyana 850k

Production of oil 250k per day.

Oil reserves estimate 11 Billion barrels.

Said to be 75% reserves of what Brazil (one of the largest producers of oil) has .

Stop comparing egg with garri.

I think that you should stop defending Nigerians with their propensity for self centeredness,self aggrandizement and corruption .
Fact of the matter is that this gesture by the Guyanese government shows that they a better human beings than their Nigerian counterparts. In fact it could be that the Guyanese are better quality human beings than Nigerians.. That money is not even enough for one person to steal in Nigeria.

The Guyanese government is to give each citizen 370 pounds sterling as their share of the country's oil weath.

This is in sharp contrast to Nigeria where the government is taxing citizens left right and center.
All citizens living in the country and those domiciled abroad are to receive the money.

Any time armed robbers are feeling hòrny they will just branch here and collect two hot rounds.

You were not brought up normally. Making rape jokes is sick

Tinubu bankrupted Nigeria with his shortsighted economic policies. He is the wrong president for the times. Too intellectually lazy to tackle the problems so he takes proffered solutions from the world bank.Shameless man.

So Gt Bank don't want to do that their $80 discount aliexpress yearly promo this year, nawaa ooo. Maybe it will appear on
11:11

Union Bank is doing up to 75dollars discount

Bullfallo:
I can pay for AliExpress and Google YouTube service with opay?

Yes, on AliExpress just add the card.

They should get at least 1 million naira each for the barbarous treatment they got from Tpain officials

Bullfallo:
are you really serious? And do you mean opay cards?

Yes, the opay physical card and the virtual card

Lol, so Tinubu is fully in charge of the economic train wreck. The man has no shame

Opay now work internationally

Putinofrussia:
Not everybody votes for a president but majority is what counts.
He got the majority of the votes.His policies might be hurting now but there will be smiles soonest.
Most institutions have signified that he is on the right track.We are all feeling the pain but we cant throw out the bathwater with the baby nah.

On the right track where. He cannot get things right even if he is given two hundred years. He is intellectually stunted. It's obvious his plans are not working and stood no chance of working in the first place

Kennyflyair:
I used the physical card. But I suspect the virtual card should work too

Thanks, I'll keep opay in mind as an option but the rate is debilitating.

Kennyflyair:
Just input your card when it's time to pay, it may fail the first time, just login to your OPAY and set web limit higher than the amount you want to pay

Do I need the opay virtual card or the physical one.

simpleseyi:
You cannot compare a Prime Minister to a President. Only a small Constituency voted for Liz to represent them, then her fellow MPs voted for her to be Prime Minister, unlike Tinubu whom the whole Nigeria voted for and against to be President.

Most of Nigeria did not vote for Tinubu,he came in because PDP foolishly fought among themselves. The S.E and rivers did not vote for him.
Anyway,my main problem with him is that he is making yorubas look like incompetent fools . Giving Tinubu one million years will achieve nothing tangible as he is just too incompetent and unwilling to work. He is making yorubas to be the laughing stock which is very unfortunate.

Jacobx007:
Same here

Ditto

Sharpsharp00123:
so those video n photo evidences of those boys looting were lies right?

So u want me to deny those videos because I hate d government right?

So all these pictures are lies right?

We will only move forward as a nation when we are ready to face the truth

Fact of the matter is that the nation cannot move forward under Tinubu even if he is given hundred years. Being Yoruba,it is hard for me to say but it's the unfortunate truth. Any progress will not be real but relative to the disaster he has caused.
When you create an atmosphere for anarchy,then you should not be surprised when anarchy occurs.

Sharpsharp00123:
so protesting against government means they should loot n vandalise properties?

So if they say they are protesting n burn your house despite d fact u ain't a politician n u didn't loot money

Will u come here n say all these?

I can see that you are desperate to believe the lies levelled by the police against innocent Nigerians whose only crime is to protest against a vacuous economically illiterate apathetic regime who has caused widespread hunger and poverty with their primary school economics knowledge.
Anyway the international disgrace is well deserved. Even a nation of neanderthals are more intelligent. Lack of shame is an animal attribute.

Nigeria is actually worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. Nigeria is a perfidious country where corruption, kidnapping,cultism,rape injustice etc reigns.

Linkzlikz:
Werey where you dey when UK government sentenced a 12yrs for similar crime just barely a month ago? You can't gaslight a person like Tinubu so just take your legs off the gas cause it's a wild goose chase! 😂

Lol,is Nigerian education really this bad. There is a difference between far right rioting and protesting against an incompetent government causing widespread hunger.
Since you are so keen to use the UK as example,then why has Tinubu not resigned for destroying the economy after all Liz Truss resigned for tanking the UK economy.

This current regime has achieved something previously thought unachievable, pauperizing Nigerians and causing widespread hunger in the land. Now they've added international ignominy to their tally.

Making Nigerians look like demented savages.

Afonja44:
Sad but a Nigerian woman isn't worth that much tbh

Why do you hate your mother so much. Not all Nigerian mothers are like her

Lol, trying to sell ebola to healthy people would fail

We'll be praying for Tinubu to vacate Aso Rock. He is incompetent

GreaterFuture:
Who's bought all those Kitchen, Dining, bedroom and home furnitures I see on AliExpress.
A full table, large Drawers etc. with different parts and section, $7, 8, 9 dollars. how?

I've checked over and over again to be sure it's what it is, it is. They are many there
All under 15, 12 USD... with free shipping

Lol,,all you are going to get is a picture of the furniture

atobs4real:
Sense is not common among humans.

Especially Nigerians

Many Nigerian nurses in the United Kingdom are in hot water for acing their tests in record times in ibadan,a feat they repeated later in the UK Problem is that UK authorities believe there is something sinister going on .

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/oct/18/nigerian-nurses-urge-uk-minister-to-intervene-over-test-cheating-claims
More than a hundred of them are now asking the UK health minister to wade in and absolve them of blames saying that the tests are just too simple.

Must've been lucky as I've been actively dealing with them since 2014. More than 400 packages since then before Speedaf came into the game.

Nipost issues are very much dependent on location. If there's a thief working in your local post office,then things are bound to be going missing.

Funniest thread ever on nairaland.

GreaterFuture:
When I say standard, obviously you know what I meant. I mean it's something they do a lot. Many people never used to use or trust NIPOST, they were that notorious. (Not some bad eggs).
And I'm asking "is it still so"?
With the rebranding and remodelling in recent years, is it still happening? I would expect it should have reduced considerably.

I use the word standard as If I'm speaking In Pidgin... Obviously not standard in English sense, obviously!
Why are you quoting me Weirdly??

They've never stolen my items at Abeokuta post office.
