I don't know why why...

WizKid why why...

Anytime I enter thread concerning Linda Ikeji I do this...

Anyways Happy birthday.

You do it because you are childish. That's why. Won't be surprised if you are 12 years old.

Babzilla:
Ill update u on my plans privately. When I come I must find you to split a beer.... anywhere when U dey for yanks except Ure on a mission

Roger that bro. Roger that. Although starting march, we'll be training for another deployment. It's a regular train up since my battalion came up on the list so we may not go but we have to train like we are. I will be praying for you. That phucked country does not deserve people like you.

TheSixthSense:
I agree with you. Gen Buhari was part of that history.

And Nigerians voted for him. You have to ask; What were they thinking?

Icecomrade:

Thou shall not use the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

What happened to this commandment.

Social media is not supposed to take our senses.

She is a mirror image of 90% of Nigerians. She is praying. Why is she praying? In normal societies, they don't pray before voting. The track record of the candidates will determine who they vote for. Nigerians are busy praying when they should at work trying to fix the problems they created for themselves. I wonder how people think. No God will help Nigeria because their wound is self inflicted.

Oblang:
Ppl get bad mouth sha. Mr man se na ur money dey wan dey borrow pay ni...

The real Nigerian. Whenever money is involved they lose all faculties. Common sense goes out the window. Smh.

success1smyn:
that is the job of the govt
but this is an incentive to motivate people to be clean,
the story of the donkey pulling a cart with carrot in its front comes to mind.

You obviously did not comprehend my post. In a country where the sanitary unit does not function where are they going to dump the refuse? Any available funds should be used to shore up the sanitation unit so people don't dump refuse everywhere. All you doing is delaying the inevitable.

erinalex:
you said 'in a normal society', are we in a normal realm ? In an abnormal clime, one does abnormal things. May be u don't know that,for decades,those hausas in government,has been giving their sons & daughters money, in other for them to agree to go to school. I understand your point,but for now,nigeria does not have d kind of leaders that will change d chain.

I can't believe you just said that. Isn't it normal to normalize an abnormality? How do you get better when everything you do is abnormal. Smh.

gbesky:
Very good initiative!!!

prodigy97:
Nice idea from arole o'odua

It makes absolutely no sense. Here's why. We all know that waste disposal does not function in Nigeria. So, to win, all i have to do is clean up my street and go dump it in another street. The 100k can be used to maintain and improve their waste disposal system instead of "wasting" it on this useless venture. In normal societies, there are no rewards for keeping your surroundings clean. Only punishment if you don't. In Germany, the fines you will receive will make you think twice about littering or dumping trash anyhow and anywhere you like. They fine you because you have no excuse for dumping anywhere but the trash cans and bins they have provided for you. Nigerians, please wake up and get with the program.

Babzilla:
Depends on who is funding.. mostly foreign
Chopper ke? hehehe

The only reason i ask is to know how easy it would be for you leave that phucked up country. Guy, you need to find a legal way.

buari score card in 1 year:
1. first class degree in cluelessness.
2. plagiarism reloaded.
3. economic recession back to back.
4. high rate of suicide.
5. pariah country for investors.
6. rising cost of living.
7. no direction.
8. phd in blaming philosophy.
nigeria gone from d most prefered destination for investors in africa to economic junk just 1 year under buari wat an achievement. dis is wat happens quota disciples ar voted in to implement outdated daura economic policies.
am not surprised at wat is happening at all.

It is not Buhari's scorecard. It is every leader in Nigeria's history's scorecard. When has it ever been different? Well, that's not true. It is different now because it is worse. And it's going to get much worse. Even if you vote in another leader. You can't expect half a century of corruption and mismanagement not to come to it's fruition. Worse still is the citizens blame leaders forgetting that these leaders are a product of bad citizenry. You can't have bad citizens and expect good leaders to come from them. It is just not possible. You guys had better buckle up and get ready.

Nigerians and oil matter. It has made the whole country lose it's faculties. Oil does not mean shiit if you don't have the mental or moral capacity to manage it. Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Spain, to name a few, don't have it but their economy is strong. How is this possible? Because they understand that the human resource is the most powerful resource of them all. Even if gold starts to fall from the sky in only Nigeria, Nigerians will still be poor because they can't manage anything and are morally bankrupt. The sooner you all begin to understand this concept, the better for you.

Babzilla:
Hehehe Dont mind me... Thats why I yry to be quiet and keep my thoughts to myself. Im into social development/ humanitarian work

NGO. Hmmmm. Chopper. But seriously. Who manages it? Foreign bodies or is it domestic?

Famouson:
All I see are two shameless people.. The first one already has a child almost 19yrs old for another woman... The other just divorced.. A marriage under disguise would never last....JJC and Funky Akindele, I never saw this coming..

What nonsense are you talking about. How is being divorced shameless? Una no de think before una comment again?

Babzilla:
I think what he means is he has to sleep so he can get ready for work tomorrow

Lol. Your mouth no go kill you.

But seriously babzilla, what do you do? I mean as a profession?

Opharhe:
Alright. I believe you understand the point I was trying to make earlier now.

I understand that they need their own ATM machine situated around them. Even when we deploy, we have the same thing. But that it does not exist does not mean they can push civilians around. It is not right.

Opharhe:
What I'm saying is the time is 4.04am local time. Nigeria is in recession and I believe it doesn't affect you at least not directly since you're outside the country.

Where exactly sir? Europe, America... ?

America.

Opharhe:
Hmm, Okay. I believe you can see the Nigerian local time as it reflects here right? It's to people like you that the words of our finance minister hold true.. . That recession is just a word .

I don't understand.

Opharhe:
Lol.
Modified: oh oh, you live outside Nigeria?

Yup.

Opharhe:
OK. They will queue up at their own ATM stands when it's finally provided.

But you no dey sleep?

It's just 2100. Haba, na small pikin de sleep at this time na.

Opharhe:
OK. Well the summary of the matter is, this request by our soldiers is not out of place. They really should be provided with the ATMs.

They should. But that is not the issue. Every law abiding citizen must queue and wait their turn at every public facility. Just because the army leadership cannot do their jobs does not mean soldiers can push average citizens around. With that kind of behavior, what is the difference between them and a vigilante thug? Last i checked, it is the average citizens taxes that pays their salary. Where i'm from, you do that, expect UCMJ the next day.

Opharhe:
Yeah I believe in an egalitarian society but you'll agree with me the soldiers are in a special situation hence require some forms of special treatment. It's very difficult for those guys. Put yourself in their shoes to understand better.

I put myself in their shoes everyday. Their job is to protect. In fact, they should be helping civilians go through as quickly as possible. The problem is the army leadership. They don't care about their soldiers.

Babzilla:
If Im goong to write about corruption space no go dey.
To fight corruption you need to understand the true nature of its origins. Fighting corruption goes beyond just arresting people in positions of authority who looted. How do we move from being afraid to be arrested to actually sitting down to do the right thing. I have worked in several organizations and honestly we have a long way to go.. we necer even start. No matter how you put laws and penalties to dissuade us from stealing we always try to find a way to beat tye system refusing to work, and stealing among otuer fraidulent activities....and whenthey do others hail them as being smart these are people who are not in authority who are being monitored... imagine such an individual niw given a position with minimal supervision that person cant work.

The truth is there is very very few Nigerians who you will put in any posotion of authority who wont steal or participate in acts of corruption. Its in our culture. If you dont loot the same Nigerians will call you mumu. To fight this it starts with everyone trying to do his /her best.. which brings the "change begins with me" concept which is cool but how many people acknowledge their part i making this country the way it is? Everyone will claim he is innocent and point fingers in our usual fashion.
Nigerians believetrue change starts from the top but the reality is it starts from the bottom.

You are arguing with zikter? Don't bother. He can't see the truth or the obvious even if it is sitting on his head.

onedayatime:
banmee you fit argue o. You know what Banmee, give yourself a break and see if you go get point(s) and come back come fight your case but as at now no point.

But I wonder o Banmee, if you can hardly make point on social platform like this where you have all the time in this world to think deeply and couple(just like machines) your facts together, how they are you going to fair when you are in the real world where you will hardly have time??

Explain to me which points i don't have? That as a owner of a vehicle, or even a passenger you don't give bribes to policemen? Answer that, if you can. The reason you don't see a problem with it is because you have been doing it for so long it has become as normal as breathing. Why wouldn't you think this way?

onedayatime:
to me Zikter is the winner, Banmee, you have been unable to prove your case before Nairalanders.

I agree. I lost. There is no way i can win against corrupt minds who will never accept who they are. Even if i brought video evidence, you still refuse to accept who you are. A thing that you all do but won't accept, how do i win against that. To most Nigerians, giving a policeman bribe is not considered corruption. It is business as usual. And you want to be a better country. Your mentality is the way to be one. Continue.

onedayatime:
but you are already living in a corrupti society(I mean your environment). A man can not see beyond his view. Your opinion.
P.s. Learn to speak for yourself alone and not others

I used to. The main reason you all are living in a cesspit is because you guys don't like to tell yourselves the truth. How do you move forward when you keep lying to yourselves.

TeddyPendergrass:
e pain you

Why e go pain me when the mumu person wey I de talk to no understand English?

zikter:
ok, what if we say the number of corrupt people in nigeria far outnumber the ones not corrupt? and that is why nigeria is not that good.you have done well to show that you are not really good in an intelligent debate. I like to engage people who have the capacity to intelligently present their view so we can learn from each other. having interacted with you, you have fallen short of my expectations on the subject. take care and have a pleasant time.

Of what use is my debating you when the proof is in the way you live your lives. You are denying what you do on a daily basis. You have not even said you don't do it. Not once.

onedayatime:
brother, you are fighting a lost case. Just accept defeat. You have no point. All you have is assumption.
Accepting defeat won't make you less a man

Until you can swear to me that will never give a policemen bribe now or in the future.

Babzilla:
They say the first step to solving a problem is to admit there is a problm, then understand the problem..
We still do not admit there is a problem .. we are still pointing fingers amd lookong for scapegoats

And they want a great country. I don tell you, commot for that place you no wan hear.

zikter:
that is no pointer to your insinuation that all Nigerians are corrupt. UK, USA , Germany, italy etc are better, but that does not mean every body there is free from corruption. bottom line, no prove to back your assertion yet.

Yes there is corruption in those countries you have mentioned. The difference is, the number of people who are not, far outnumber the people who are. In Nigeria, all of you are corrupt. The proof is in the state of the country.

onedayatime:
it is very obvious that people like you are enemy of progress. Yet, you are one of the first people in Nigeria that will call Buhari all sorts of names because of the current situations in Nigeria.
People like you do not deserve to be in an higher place because its very clear that you are a destroyer.

If the higher place is in Nigeria, thanks but no thanks. Why would I want to live in a corrupt country surrounded by corrupt people?

nextprince:
Pls have u ever seen a military man queuing behind civilians at the atm anywhere in the world? These are the people going for days without bathing, eating, drinking and away from their loved ones and in some cases pay the supreme price so that u can sit comfortably and type this trash. It is just some underdeveloped countries like ours that citizens will want a military man, whose life is more at risk if gunmen decide to strike, to join queue with them. Let me tell u, military personnel enjoy privileges all over the world. People will just sit down and post what they like just on assumption not as if they have ever been to even Cameroun here.

I have done it and still do. It is only because Nigerians are usd to lawlessness that you think what they are doing is OK.
