Why do u Nigerians always believe any one doing a bit better n say it is showing off?He is giving u useful info bt all u see is show off.Is he d reason u dont hav a car?or csnt travel abroad?we must stop this hate for people who are not suffering like u.
Imagine u too become better tomorrow n start advising people who might wanna follow ur route then somone comes frm nowhere n say u showing off....u prefer him to tell u he is hungry n can't afford to eat or wat

NikoWinaman:
With the way things are going with APC who seem to be trying so hard to destroy all other political parties, do you think the major opposition party PDP would have a chance to take back power and give GEJ a historical comeback?

If the 2027 presidential election tickets are like this, who will you vote for?

APC - Tinubu
PDP - Jonathan
LP- Obi

D problem is there is no real election....tinubu had control of government e en before he became president.My advice to everyone is to allow tinubu finish his second term instead of wasting money on election challenge.U cannot win tinubu who controls government in an election.jst wait till 2032

Davido, a global icon and one of Nigeria’s most celebrated artists, holds significant sway over millions worldwide. His dual identity—born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised in Nigeria—affords him a unique perspective. However, with influence comes responsibility, especially for someone awarded the national honor of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) for his contributions to the Nigerian entertainment industry. His recent comments, where he expressed discouragement about African Americans relocating to Nigeria, underscore a need for caution and diplomacy.

The Importance of Constructive Criticism

No one disputes the challenges Nigeria faces—economic instability, infrastructural deficits, and political strife, to name a few. These are realities that Nigerians live daily. But as a public figure, especially one benefiting immensely from Nigerian support, Davido has a responsibility to critique constructively. Comparing the slums of Nigeria to the struggles of the United States could have been an opportunity to highlight resilience, entrepreneurship, or the emerging entertainment industry’s vibrancy.

Rather than casting a shadow on the motherland, Davido could have adopted a balanced tone:
• Acknowledge challenges honestly without exaggeration.
• Highlight the opportunities for growth and investment.
• Emphasize the sense of community and culture that defines Nigeria.

Davido’s Platform: A Double-Edged Sword

Davido’s platform has elevated Nigerian music globally. His fan base in Nigeria forms the foundation of his success, and it is their unwavering support that propelled him into international stardom. To discourage African Americans from engaging with Nigeria, a country that has embraced him as one of its leading ambassadors, risks alienating his core supporters.

While the United States grapples with homelessness, racial inequality, and mass incarceration, American artists like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, or Chris Brown rarely, if ever, disparage their homeland on international platforms. Their approach is one of advocacy, highlighting issues without denigrating their roots.

Immaturity and Consequences

Davido’s comments might seem candid, but they come across as tone-deaf given his stature and role. To suggest that African Americans avoid Nigeria entirely could:
• Harm tourism and cultural exchange efforts.
• Damage the perception of Nigeria globally.
• Alienate his Nigerian fans, whose loyalty underpins his career.

It is not alarmist to state that if Nigerians boycotted his music, his career trajectory could shift dramatically. The entertainment industry thrives on goodwill, and losing the support of one’s home base can be career-ending.

The Need for an Apology

As someone conferred with a national honor, Davido must hold himself to a higher standard. A public apology would go a long way in mending fences. It’s not about suppressing valid criticism; it’s about expressing it in a way that uplifts rather than tears down. His handlers and media team must ensure that his statements align with his role as a cultural ambassador.

A Call for Advocacy, Not Dismissal

Davido has the power to advocate for change. He can:
• Highlight areas where African Americans or other diasporans could contribute to Nigeria’s development.
• Use his platform to call for better governance and investment.
• Show the vibrant aspects of Nigeria alongside its challenges.

Rather than discouraging engagement with Nigeria, Davido should foster dialogue and inspire hope. Advocacy, not dismissal, is the hallmark of a mature and impactful leader.

amazinghands:
I relocated to the United States about eight years ago. My relationship with my dad has been strained and continues to deteriorate.

Background:
I grew up in a lower-middle-class family with both my mom and dad working hard. Everything changed when my dad started earning significant money. His newfound wealth led to a lifestyle filled with parties, women, and alcohol (to be fair, he earned his money, so he had the right to spend it as he pleased). He built a hotel and was barely home afterward.

2010:
While I was in college, I wanted to leave Nigeria due to the incessant ASUU strikes. I told my dad I wanted to study abroad. Initially, he agreed and gave me the funds to start the process. I was admitted to a school in Ukraine and secured a visa, but he later said he couldn’t afford to send me abroad. This decision felt contradictory, as his lifestyle said otherwise. (To be fair, it’s his money, and he has the right to decide how to spend it.)

2016:
I got admitted to a master’s program in the U.S. and approached my dad for help again. He told me to "cut my coat according to my size" and said he couldn’t sell any of his properties for the sake of a child studying abroad. (Again, to be fair, he was right—he had already paid for my college tuition in Nigeria.) Around the same time, he married another wife.

On the other hand, my mom sold her only piece of land and some jewelry to give me half of my first semester's tuition. After involving family members, my dad reluctantly gave me ₦400,000, stating that was all he could afford. I thanked him for the support.

Fast Forward to Today:
I struggled and worked odd jobs to make ends meet, determined never to ask him for help again. Over time, I’ve become financially stable, secured a good job, and am now a permanent resident. I give my dad a monthly allowance and occasionally send more during festive seasons. My mom, on the other hand, gets spoiled with gifts, extra money, and I’ve even invited her to visit and spend time with me in the U.S.

Now, my dad is broke and has suggested I buy him a car and increase what I do for him, despite the fact that my parents are separated and he currently lives with his second wife. I’ve told myself I won’t go above and beyond for him, especially since he chose to prioritize his lifestyle and the new wife (who came with a stepson). I find it hard to reconcile his past decisions with his current expectations.

Am I in the wrong here?

Dont break ur bank for him.if u can afford it do it.Dont go broke trying to maintain his lifestyle so he still looks rich.M having same issue wit my dad.

God1000:
hmm, your story is a good one, but some people that followed that path are regretting it

Well i did n am not regretting....mind u my 1st 2 sons were given birth to without doing d test in currently spent 1.2m on

This has been the FEARS of some of us.

Dangote Monopoly insanely on Colos...

How can one Fulani man be the Almighty Oil man?

Bt even NNPC is not meeting quota of crude suppy to dangote....therefore NNPC is d real reason dangote cannot supply enough products

TemplarLandry:

As for the U. K., that country has sunk into a cesspool...
It has been eroded of its core Christian values. Indians and Pakis are gradually taking over. The mayor of London is even a jihadist, a handful of the MPs are Islamists.

This was the same UK that propagated Christianity, the same U. K. that was instrumental to the creation of the State of Israel after WW2. Now they're hell bent on destroying Israel.

Of course, all the adversaries of Israel are doomed to fail.

By the power of Elohim, Israel will keep manifesting Jeremiah 20:11 and Ezekiel 3:9

Wen i tell people that US has plan to invade every country on d continent if need be den go tink say na misyarn.US is nobody mate.they are d law,jury n executioner n Russia will become same if they got d chance

Be deceiving urself

WeddingParol:
Rufai Oseni behaviour doesn't align with journalism profession.

He is quite arrogant and dish out disrespect to their guests.

I know that Arise TV and daily post are often not objective in their narratives which made me to stop watching and reading their contents.

One of your jobs as a journalist is to objectively criticise the government where it's failing and call attention to matters particularly of public interest and not bear parlour journalism full of sentiments and illogical biases.

They need to learn from the likes of premium times etc.

My friend quiet...wat do u know abt journalism

Napata77:
Rufai Oseni is so unpatriotic.

He knows EXACTLY why we had to float the Naira.

He knows EXACTLY why we had to end fuel subsidies.

His own principal Obi promised to do the same thing “on day 1”.

Why is he now pretending he doesn’t know why the economy is hard on the people?

I don’t blame the guest for his angry response to him. Disgusting.

My friend u sound as clueless as tpain.how dare u giv excuses for that ignorant fellow.floating naira or stopping fuel subsidy is not d issue bt d way n manner it was executed is d problem.It was executed in agbero style without tinking n planning ahead to cushion d effect .We are import dependent nation n also a fuel dependent one.That a very bad situation.

They will pay d bills together in luv

God1000:
Good decision, future problem has just been averted


Thank God he didn't impregnate her during their 3 years courtship

Beremx:
An election was held in May and MC Oluomo held his own election in November. Lol

Nigeria and lawlessness. Nothing wey person no go hear

Lawlessness at its peak.This was always d fear of tinubu being in power.Election is held once in 4 years for president n mr MC couldn't wait for years to contest n decided to hold his own n declare himself winner.Moreover d bastard is not presently a member of d union.wat a country

TossTos:
Indeed noise , one thing I believe is America is aware of all of their weapons.

No weapon that russia has that america is not aware of or even simulated counter measures or defence

Goodmarlian:
Damn! that was scary the world has never seen such an explosion even though it was nt nuclear explosion,that missile if loaded with nukes can end a country the size of Britian in seconds you need the see the speed and accuracy I don't think the idea of such a technology comes from just mere human brain Russia is definitely interacting with extraterrestrials secretly Ukraine and the west should thread carefully Russia is deadly.

D problem is it wont get to britain before it is destroyed.Also be aware britain has Carriers around d world that will release nuclear war heads to Russia

We are saying d same thing....

Even if we won ....u cannot best Benin on home soil so how u want take qualify...bunch of idiots

MadamVanessa:




The worse and the most uselèss senate president ever Is Akpabio and he's not even hiding his føolishness.

This is a senate president shamefully putting on Tinubu insignia cap on his big empty head and you called this fool a senate president.

A senate president carrying president isignia on his head daily is not different frm MC Oluomo who is ready to giv tpain his wife for a nite or more....theres no limit wit this guys, nothing they wont do to please tpain Akpabio n MC are one n d same

Anither563:
Senator Ali Ndume, please let the President lead us in this journey to greatness.

Please stop the public criticism of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio. It's not good for you and it's not good for him.
May God bless Nigeria for ever!

Something is wrong wit u.Is d senate supposed to be rubber stamp or u dnt understand wat separation of powers is.
Hav u ever seen congress agreeing to every single thing a US president demands?

Padipadi:
If he said Seyi is eligible, una go say family nepotism. Now he's saying no be so. You talk say na no youth in govt. Why are you confused like this?

He should say no be so based on character or past antecedents not age.How can he say a man in his 40ties is a boy n not fit to be a governor

sokera:
This is the problem. This Igbo ppl won’t mind their business. Who are you to tell us who should be our governor? You are feeling to comfortable in Lagos right ? Don’t worry we will open your book soon.

U sound like somebody who aint in his right senses

lexy2014:
