The system empowered them to serve..and they were accountable to the system. This cannot be said of Yahaya Bello et al

Yahaya Bello is not a millenial he is over 50 right now

IGBOPROMISE1:
I just wonder why the location of this Tower of Babel isn’t known!? For such a massive structure that was destroyed, surely the rubble mound would still exist today!

It must have degraded so much since it was abandoned and wasn't completed

eepeepook:
In the time of Cleopatra, people questioned how they were built. Nobody should care about how they were built. We can construct bigger, better and more resilient ones today. The pyramids pale in comparison size-wise when viewing skyscrapers of modern times.

My point is if the pyramids which survives today were built in ancient times, why do you think an attempt to construct the tower of Babel was not made,the tower of Babel could have been true but the planners probably did not envisage the humongous resources and materials it required that's why it ultimately failed and probably not necessarily by scattering of Language narrative

eepeepook:
This is how one will know that the tower of babel story was made up. We have centuries of scientific innovation at our disposal. There is no way goat herders of the time were able to build a tower so high to rival the Burj of today. The only thing holding humans of nowadays is physical limitations in the form of material strength, durability and supply.

How were the pyramids built

The stupid majority tribes, plenty for nothing

Topman7:
Stupid school dropout talking rubbish about “generation”?

What “generation”?

So are YOU responsible for what is going on in Nigeria TODAY?

Should the next generation blame YOU if things are worse for them in 20 years’ time?

If you are not responsible for what is happening today, how am I responsible for what happened 20 or 30 years ago?

Ewu.

Better get it into your mumu head that any blame for the state of the country goes DIRECTLY to the actual leadership of the country, not to any FCKING “generation”.

Unless you saw me or my father or mother in ASO ROCK or DODAN BARRACKS, don’t you go blaming ME for any blasted thing happening in the country.

Your GENERATION hasn't left the scene of leadership in Nigeria so the younger generation cannot be blamed for the state of Nigeria, when the younger generation are finally able to take over the leadership of Nigeria, they will be held responsible to the future state of Nigeria. As it stands your GENERATION ruined and continues to ruin Nigeria

Topman7:
These are “modern development”?

Is it free? Did it not come from government funding, and investment in telecommunications?

You take your digital connectivity for granted because you are a pampered ignoramus.

There are many parts of Africa and the world where internet access and digital connectivity are far lower, more expensive, and more archaic than in Nigeria.

Are those countries not part of the “modern development”?

Only very remote areas have poor internet access today.That is a fact.

Internet Access is largely a product of private enterprise and foreign input,which is paid for by users.
The government communications outfit NITEL failed because of your GENERATIONs greed and incompetence.

Your GENERATION has moral right to lecture any millenial or younger,as you built nothing and didn't bequeathed nothing to US.

The generation before you did.

It seems we have come to the dead end of Nigerian music( afrobeats),Nigerian sound(afrobeats) is over saturated and has become stale.
It's over for the music industry in Nigeria
It's over.

Nigeria should focus on film now.

Olamideayomide:
O gbenutan o
Don't know the motives of this oyinbo people when they went ahead to join northern and southern part together to form a country.

Cos the govern ideaology of South from North is 7up.

Their motive was wickedness

panafrican:
You would also say Africans destroyed Libya and Iraqis destroyed Iraq, Palestinians invaded Gaza to commit a genocide agaonst yhe
Palestinian people, Namibians committed the first genocide of the 20th century ( the genocide of the Herero under German occupation), African
were at the Scramble for Africa conference in Berlin in the late 1800s.
Keep celebrating. You will taste what slavery looks like when we take your queens and kings as slaves and make them and their descendants work on African corn fields for five centuries. We will sell some of you to the Chinese and the North Koreans, then write some books saying Europeans sold their own people.

Colonialism and invasion is different from SLAVERY.
Africans sold other Africans to SLAVERY.
Invasion and colonialism was a different matter entirely

panafrican:
These are the usual arrogant words coming for the mouths of those who planned slavery and mass shipping of Africans.
Keep dancing and keep asking, once we get those weapons or something more lethal, we will answer your question.

Lol,you sold your kind to slavery for profit,the records are there,judge your self's before judging others

What about the African LORDS that sold their kind for profits,how should revenge be taken against them?

GoodGovernance:
Trash!

Are the new generations doing any better?

Far better given what they were bequeathed with,your GENERATION are failures and can't even take responsibility for your failures.
What an irresponsible GENERATION

Afonja44:
But you attributed Lagos' development to Tinubu because it grew under him, no? Lagos did not grow organically being a FCT?

You talking to the wrong person

Topman7:
Your problem is that you don't even sound well educated. Your diction is all over the place. You sound like one of those lazy students that couldn't be bothered with anything, and now it's ''blame Nigeria'' time.

Nigeria has provided you with education and also broadband digital connectivity by investing billions of dollars in fibre optic cables and telecoms infrastructure.

You can start and run a business on your smartphone, often with ZERO INVESTMENT, something my generation couldn't even DREAM OF.

You can learn any skill on YouTube for free and start offering your services from your house there.

Your mates are using this digital infrastructure to make SERIOUS MONEY, in all sectors, while you are here talking rubbish about ''good road'' and ''refinery'' - using the digital infrastructure to moan and groan on social media instead of using it to be productive like your mates.

LAZY, USELESS THING.

These are modern development, your GENERATION also had modern development generations before you didn't have,but they bequeathed a lot,the Awolowo legacy still stands today,what legacy does your GENERATION have?

Afonja44:
Kennis Music pioneered taking Naija mainstream music abroad with 2Face being the first international act from Africa to break grounds. MTV Base that used to be for the wealthy became available on local channels.

Football also got a broader view with Enyimba and the whole EPL/Champions League becoming a norm on our regular TV channels.

Mobile phones then made everything easy.


These were all OBJ/Dokpesi time.

Yes,but was not from any directive of Obasanjo, Nigerian music grew organically, and yes,kennis music did a lot

Topman7:
Small bomboy that was sucking his mum's breast, or maybe wasn't even born in the year 2000 when OBJ gave the order.

Learn to shut your dirty trap when your elders are teaching you facts about your history.

Here's Reno Omokri confirming OBJ's role in the rise of Afrobeats:


......


Nigerians did not use to listen to Nigerian music. We started listening to our local music when President Obasanjo and Ben Murray-Bruce implemented the 60% local content idea, forcing our radio and TV stations to play 60% local music. People complained. Today, not only do we love and listen to our indigenous music, Afrobeats is now the number one music genre on Earth.

Without Obasanjo and Ben Murray-Bruce being intentional about making Nigerians listen to local music, there could not have been Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, Rema and Kizz Daniel. And I can prove it. Tiwa and Naira Marley are British citizens. They had to leave the UK for Nigeria to succeed locally here and globally thereafter.

That policy influenced Glo to use local artistes as brand ambassadors. And they sent them to etiquette school. Glo had P-Square on billboards all over Lagos and Nigeria. You could not go from Ikoyi to Victoria Island without seeing a giant Goo billboard with Nigerian music stars.

From Glo ambassadors, they were featured on CNN for the Glo with Pride campaign, and that blew our artistes up worldwide.

MTN did not start doing it until they saw Glo doing it. And that is the difference between a homegrown company and a foreign one. One had total commitment. The other is often here to exploit.

Good policy creates global hegemony.

The same thing will happen to Naira flotation. The Naira will find its natural value, and we will complain because we can no longer afford foreign goods and services as before. When we realise that nobody is coming to save us, we will accept the situation and be de Glo instead of MTN or Airtel and use IVM instead of Toyota and Range Rovers. We will toast our successes at Cubana and Quillox with palm wine rather than Moét, champagne, and scotch whiskey. We will fly Air Peace and replace custard with ogi and akamu.

Then, when we start featuring these made-in-Nigian goods and services in Nollywood movies and Afrobeat songs, the rest of the world will also buy them.

It is a template that never fails. When you love yourself, others will also love you. When you love your music and movies, others will also patronise them. When you celebrate your local goods and services, the rest of the world will venerate made in Nigeria. It begins with us. Naira flotation is good for Nigeria. Embrace it!

Nigeria must use her political, economic, military and social policies to promote her own military-industrial complex rather than just remaining a consumer nation. We must be prosumers, people who consume what they produce!

So Na Reno omokri be una source ,old fool

Topman7:
Relax. We are happy with the rise of Afrobeats. It was Obasanjo (''my generation'') who ordered radio stations to play a minimum 60% local content in 2000, which made local musicians become hot cakes.

That ls why Nigeria is a world music powerhouse today, boasting multiple world class stars.

And make no mistake, AFROBEATS came from our earlier R&B culture, and local artistes like Remedies, 2Shotz etc simply blended those grooves with indigenous Nigerian melodies and rhythms to start AFROBEATS.

So without us there would be no you.

Obasanjo did not order shit,you are evil GENERATION of liers,always wanting to deceive the younger generation,Obasanjo never ordered shit.Obasanjo years were the peak of foreign music play in Nigeria

WizardOfNG:
Nothing like that. Mainly the IPOB lot desperately looking for anything to use demonizing the Government of Tinubu.

government of tinubu is already demonised by its own actions

DomPerignon:
By southerners you mean those disgruntled loser from the yeast.

The whole court saga was obviously staged, filmed and uploaded by these Obidient cretins who are working over time to cause as much disunity and distrust in our country.

They are the ones spreading false narrative of the High Court ruling on Rivers allocation from the CBN that it was initiated by the FG while this case was initiated by the 27 Rivers law makers that Fubara has barred from the House


These people are pure evil and just as they nurtured criminals, convicts , prison escapees, ritualists and cultists to take over their region , they are hell bent on ushering anarchy across the nation.

No,I mean people like vdm

Quite right,funny thing is MUMU oversabi Southerners that always fight for them.

His ex wife is more beautiful

Forkthiefnubu:
So this Reno is your authority on Nigerian matters ? You guys have gone real haywire

Leave am,Na Ben Bruce rhythm FM dey play foreign music pass

It was probably shared to the precious NIGERIANS- the Fulani

HellVictorinho9:
What is peter producing

What is TINUBU producing?

This is a satanic lie.Obasanjo never gave such directive,if he did nobody followed it.

Radio stations continued to play foreign music the most up to 2007 when American music started becoming poorer.

Obasanjo years were the peak of American hiphop and rap in NIGERIA.

We listened all day to hiphop and rap jamz on Nigerian radio stations during Obasanjo years.

All stations played mostly foreign music,they also played good Nigerian music which were equally good.

It was probably foreign music videos that were
Mandated against, cos there was limited foreign videos then.

Efewestern:
Hey, don't involve me your political bants.

I've always been consistent about us industrializing as that's is our only ticket out of poverty. Sadly, no government have shown any sign of pulling us out of this mess.

No government and definitely not this government

Freetech:
We know the importers. The same ppl making noise about PRODUCTION.

Its alwats my container dey for sea. Container of fake drugs, spare parts etc

The very reason why they're crying all over social media about $ as if naira is no more Nigeria currency


If government reduce import duty on food, it kills our agriculture sector and the same ppl will smuggle the food to neighboring countries.

So now the government should starve the people to force them to production instead of actually producing itself,why does Nigeria government always rely on the citizens to do its job,what's actually the function of Nigeria government.
People provide their security, energy,water,jobs etc,what does the government actually do?

Efewestern:
Economies work by solely depending on importation? Tell just one country that excels by importing just everything. Just tell me one.

This was the same mistake Venezuela made that contributed to the crash of the economy. They sold crude just like us and imported just everything, like we are doing. From food to drugs, to tech, to wears and textiles. Everything was imported... Because we have people like you who say, oh well, let's import everything because we don't have to brains to build and grow an economy organically.

Even before the US sanctions on Venezuela, the economy was already crumbling. There's no magic out of this mess. Either we become productive or we crumble as a race.

Life isn't for the weak and if we as blacks can't take the painstaking journey towards industrialization. Then we will continue to deal with poverty.

This same APC preached local production under Buhari, what did they achieve with it,Peter obi preached from consumption to production, but you laughed at him

Max24:
Even parents sometimes remove subsidy from their children in order to restrategize for greater future. Intelligent people can see into Nigerias rosy future with Tinubu in control. Not Obis patronizing economics that will lead Nigeria to it's abrupt end. Keep enjoying now and crash soon or endure some pains now for a greater tomorrow. Hallmarks of American patriotism.

Lol,naive men,wicked men,Na today dey dey talk dat one,Buhari kept saying the same thing- (suffer now enjoy later) at the end things were worse off with this government admitting the failure of buharis government,
There's no plan or strategy in public on what tinubu wants to achieve with his suffer now enjoy later strategy,there's nothing going on that shows it will lead to success.at the end the man will do 8 years and go no improvement will happen,the next government will again complain how TINUBU failed.

Peter Obi preached investment in the masses,not some phantom enjoy tomorrow suffer now shit

He removed subsidy and then what,these people think they have so much sense because of their government feeding bottle

We are a nanny region because we are taking care of you wanderers from deadbeat region.
