No way! It's worse here, the level of extra judicial killings here is horrific. To top it all its black against blacks over here.

I beg help me educate am.

planetx:
I have been traveling to the US b4 you were even conceived. So your attempt at humour falls flat.

Traveling there and living there are two different things. I have been living here for some decades and i can tell you that i have not for one second experienced any sort of racism nor discrimination. There is a golden rule when dealing with police; shut your mouth and obey every command. You don't argue with a man with a gun.

planetx:
Nigerian police are learners compared to American cops in killing of unarmed innocent people. Bloody hypocritical nation.

Did you find all that out on Google?

sinaj:
ur wife is really pretty

Thanks. Believe it or not, we be old people. God just bless us with young pesin body and mentality.

SeverusSnape:
True, Many people can't cope with the new price.

The hardship in the country isn't helping issues, many people have parked their vehicles and are now using public transport.

But some months (and years) back, One dullard said there's nothing like subsidy.

That is the whole point of deregulation na. When people don't buy it, the suppliers profits will take a hit which in turn would mean they will have to reduce price. Bros, it is all about supply and demand.

sinaj:
blame it on autocorrect

Lol....

Berlyn:
she's absolutely right

She's absolutely wrong.

sinaj:
Some people sha


There's nothing wrong with what she posted

The black guy the police gunned down would av being a Nigerian too.

We hear of Nigerians that they kill in India nd other countries evride xo what's the big deal in what she posted there.



The annoying thing is that they only speak up when the case is trending.

Would have, or could have? Hian!!

SeverusSnape:
Nice one Fayose. APC and their protesting cohorts can go to hell!

My man Fayose is undaunted even in the face of persecution and propaganda against him. That's how you know a true leader.

Keep on exposing the lies of this dullardic Administration.

Nigerians deserve the leadership they have.

Sex on a first date is a no no for me, infact no sex before marriage

Thank you.

Obviously these brothers were never brought up right. Karma Is a bit.ch though. When they first started, they had a good friend of mine who used to spin tracks for them. His name is Brown. If you watch their "igbedu" video you'll see him DJing. Jude managed to frustrate the guy out of the group.

2sexynet:
Nairaland has an NGO body that is called TEHN, they can help sort that out. Just send your proposal

Thanks for the info. I did not know that. One favor, how do I contact them. Not savvy when it comes to navigating links on NL.

mafiaso9:
How much money do you need to compete your studies and what's your full name so I can try and forward some funds for you via western union?

I don't know if you are serious or not, but I have been thinking of doing something like this come first of January. It would be nice if we, and by we, i mean people who are not rich but can help students in Nigeria with small stipends to sustain them in school. I am thinking of giving one deserving student, no older than 22, 50 to a 100 dollars a month for a year, every year. Problem is the selection process. What do you think?

Ahmed0336:
i have a friend who happens to be in similar situation. He is the first Son and have 3 younger ones. Him been wan marry i tell am say make him chill first, allow his immediate younger brother grad before getting married to avoid story that touches. And to be honest thats what saved his younger ones, Cos as he married chai!!! Him matter don pass our power cos we no just understand d dude again

Bros you have only heard one side. You'll be surprised when you hear the side of the brother. Don't judge yet.

If there are aliens, religion will be in trouble.

The more i think about it, the more i realise that i am a celebrity too. If i begin display picture i go popular too oooo.

ceejay80s:
.only a thief or somebody who has not been attacked by these armed robbers will say "say no to jungle justice"

If u fall for these armed robbers hand, u will prefer Satan to them

There needs to be a fundamental restructuring in the way Nigerians think for it to even think about it being passable as a Nation not to talk of it being great. This is how bad it is; If you bring everybody in America to Nigeria and transport everyone in Nigeria to America, after a while, Nigerians in America will be applying for visas to come back to Nigeria. You all want to be a great nation, but don't want to do the things that make other countries great. How does that make sense?

mrvitalis:
Must the government do it??
Why can't cooperate bodies.. See the business in this an buy the idea and mass produce it for profit??
Why must we wait for government for everything.. . Can't universities ask the industries there major challenges and research on those? ?
Please Nigerians are just intellectually lazy and that's a fact... Can't wait to just kick start my self

Because the idea is not new and is practically useless in today's world. It is like trying to take us a 100 years back. How do you think trains and ships used to move around a 100 years ago? It is not efficient and it polutes the earth. No thank you.

SeverusSnape:
Which Rochas?... That greedy man?

What do you mean by greedy? I have never heard that word used to describe a leader in a normal country. I really do want to know what you mean.

Johnrake69:
This is a follow up thread to the referenced thread below:
https://www.nairaland.com/3210525/nigeria-finished-me#47274430.

Went through the aforementioned thread last night, and I really wept at the level of suffering that has been passed down to us by the elites.

Last night I couldn't sleep cos of the pain and agony. Then, a thought came to me that we really can make a positive change and that we are not outnumbered, but rather, we are just unorganized. A 10million Nigerian youths can make a difference. Can ten million Nigerian youths converge at National Assembly or the state house? And every youth should know that if we don't protest now, posterity will judge us, our children will so curse our existence. This is a struggle for the survival of the common man.

Personally I don't think I will be alive come next 50years.
So, we should see this as a duty we owe generations unborn.

So I call upon all the vibrant youths that have already made a comment on the aforementioned thread to think about this proposal.

Bros. You don't know how happy i am to read your post. This is how it starts. It takes one person or a group of "normal" people to begin the change we all seek. Nothing might come of this, but at least it will bring right thinking people together to discuss the way forward. I have been in the thick and thin of people who are determined to fight and, fought for what they believe in all over the world and i can tell you that it starts when a people are at their tipping point. Nigeria is gradually getting to it's tipping point. The reason these guys get away with what they are doing is because of ordinary citizens in Nigeria who prop them up. Nigeria needs to do what Jerry Rawlings did in '79. Ghana is better off for it today. The reason why nothing will change is because the system is corrupt. The people are corrupt. What has to happen needs to be quick. It needs to be targeted. It needs to be violent. It needs to shake the country. We need a coup or armed revolution. Without this, we'll be talking about the Nigerian condition for the next 50 years.

SeverusSnape:
But why is Fayose so merciless?... Why is he dishing out heartbreaks to haters all over the place?

When you're loved by your people, No Goliath nor Buhari nor DSS can do anything to you.

Fayose is not like those useless politicians that go about in the street buying maize, akara, and suya during campaign, and they disappear after winning; As you can all see, Even after becoming the governor, Ayodele Fayose still remains a grassroots man. May your days be long sir.

Nigerians deserve the leadership they have.

Cc 4nobody4every1. .....see what I'm taking about?

OLAADEGBU:
We have to start from somewhere and I with our prayers and cooperation most of the stolen money will be retrieved.

It is not about the money. Of what use is the money when it's people have no clue how to spend it?

majekdom2:
Then there is no hope in/for the Nigerian people.

Truth be told, as it is, there is none. But, historically there is a way. Something drastic needs to be done that will shake the very foundation of the socio political context of the country. Nigeria needs to do what Ghana did under Jerry Rawlings in 1979.

majekdom2:
he could have picked it up and denied he picked something else. He could pick and run away. I am not saying the "majority " are saints. Ofcourse, a country is a reflection of its people. You said if the young man gets into the government, he "will" do worse not may - I was trying to let you know you don't know him and one shouldn't conclude every Nigerian is corrupt.

I can reasonably conclude that he will do worse because of that majority. That's how it works. If it was an American or German that made the complaints he made, I would reasonable conclude he/she would make an effective change because the majority in those countries have the right mentality.

majekdom2:
Again, you are drawing conclusions from your experiences- not all passengers would ask the driver to give the bribe. That's my point- rare tho. Just as we read about a gatekeeper that returned 3.5m. If you didn't perhaps see it in the media and asked how many Nigerians would return that money, you would have said none. Yes, The economy has turned majority into something else but that's not to say there are no people who can do things right if given the power to.

You sure you are Nigerian or you've ever lived in Nigeria? The security man returned the money because he knew there were cameras around him. Plus, we are not talking of one or two Nigerians that will make the change you all seek. We are talking about the majority. The general perception is America is a safe country not because everyone is law abiding, but because the majority is law abiding. When you elect a Governor, it is not because everyone voted for him but because the majority voted for him. Are you going to say because you did not vote for him the outside world will not say "the people of Nigeria voted for him". The majority of Nigerians have the wrong mentality and it is the majority that can effect any kind of transformation. I went to the Nigerian embassy in Berlin for some business and guess what; The same dirty dealings and shadiness that characterizes life in Nigeria was being perpetuated all the way in Germany. Which is why the general belief is Nigeria is fantastically corrupt. That you are honest does not matter if the majority are not.

As if these problems just started today.

papinx:
Really, it seems to be getting worse day by day. A nation blessed with myriad of natural resources has to battle with various social vices ranging from corruption to terrorism. Kidnapping couldn't keep its nose from poking into the social affairs of the country too....

May God save us in this country.....



FTC....


check my signature by the way...

You talk as if these "social vices" just decided to invite themselves into the Nigerian way of life. Nigerians invited them. Even nurtured them. Now they protect those vices.

majekdom2:
pls stop saying this @ bolded. There are so many Nigerians willing to do things differently. If 80 percent of politicians do not see government as a means of livelihood, Nigeria won't be where it is.

Yes they are willing to do things differently but willing to do something involves knowing how to do it. Nigerians just don't know. Here's a scenario that sums up the Nigerian condition.

A danfo driver is stopped by the police at a checkpoint demanding for 20 naira bribe. The driver refuses to the ire of the bus occupants. The occupants of the bus starts urging the driver to "settle am abeg make we go". Abi I lie? Does that sound like a people who want to do things differently?

DDeliverer:
I no know where to start from...Everything about this country and her people don tire me..

Caveat: I be the igwe of this thread..if you no know wetin to talk, carry your wahala dey go, make I no change am for you..

For the past two days I never use eye see light...This country suppose be giant of Africa, yet her people dey like slaves...No light to iron clothes, no light to charge phone, no light to do anything for this country... At least if light dey, I go watch TV, I go the chat with phone, connect with people so as to forget my plenty sorrows....but no, them no go gree do anything..I still never know why!!!

Bros, take this as constructive criticism. Na your fault. Na my fault. Na every single person for Nigeria fault. The country no just spoil like this from nowhere na. Every leader wey naija don get from day one, dem born dem for here. Dem no be Togolese. Dem be Nigerians. E mean say dem grow up for here and don de used to the kotokoto way of doing tins, so when dem become leader, na kotokoto leadership dem de give una. Even if you, wey de complain, become President or Governor you go do the same thing or worse. Why? Because Nigerians no know the standard. And if you no know the standard you no fit implement the standard. See fayose for ekiti wey dem say e tif plenty money. For normal country, e go resign jejeli so as to clear im name and make sure say e no affect governance for im state. Meanwhile, bros wan die for there and the worst tin be say plenty Nigerians, wey de suffer, de support am. How dat one take make sense? If i no know better, i for talk say Nigerians generally mumu but i go say make you decide for yoursef.

A sad loss to Nrlanders. No more traffic in that area.

naijababe:
It is only in Nigeria that people are supposedly empowered with grinding machine and okada

Lol. This is why Nigeria is unique. Normal things don't apply.
