Take for example Yar adua new railway design / I would not allow it if i was president because i am an engineer and I can see better option , and cheap means without waste.

From the satellite pictures, you know the south would win a war with north and get thier freedom once and for all.  This is how the USA beat Iraq, satellite pictures. [/quote][size=14pt]You don kolo brekete![/size]

A couple of months ago, I created a website specifically to deal with an issue discussed on NL. The website was successfuly hacked by someone desperately trying to find out my details.

Yes. Quit complaining and go to your church or mosque to pray that God will come down and develop the country.

Pray that God will fix the refineries and correct the situation where the Worlds 6th largest oil exporter, imports fuel. . .

Daft.

he should still be appointed.exam is but a test of what you read but wisdom is a different ball game.bayelsa contributes more than 10 other states merged.

Exactly!
If it was JAMB, they would restrict the ND on federal character. Now that it is for govt postion, they have forgotten their convenient federal character and are trying to shame a state.

How many from Zamfara (home of sharia) are so good at passing exams and why aren't they disgraced for failing?

Govt is playing dangerous games with the ND.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=345743.msg4855478#msg4855478 date=1257274071]What else is there to say?

As much as i know the Nigerian Government is morally bankrupt, i still think the citizens don't do enough to help that country develop.
Majority of Nigerians believe their FAITH is enough to feed em, house em and clothe em in this time and age.
They'd rather invest all their income in a Church than doing something positive in their community.[/quote]"Give up, all hope is lost."
When people have been beaten right through the wall, they tend to lose hope and either accept anything that comes or turn to "higher powers".
The amount of "faith" in the nation is an accurate measure of the trauma we have to live through.

What is wrong in that?

Is CBN the latest EFCC branch? Ain't they about regulating monetary affairs?

Very soon Sanusi will start hiring sniffer dogs to seek out drugs at MMA.

Many Nigerians abroad are delusional!!. I'm proud of Nigeria not the government. People expect too much when they've given too little to the communities they came from. Are you all bunch stupids or what? Amenities? How many of you have developed a skill and used it to benefit your communities? How many of you has gone to Nigerian to protest evil if it kills you? Many of my Iranian friends went back to Iran to protest the election and to voice out against the Islamic regime. Braving bullets and bombs they still did it. You coward sit your stupid asses behind your computers and request all sorts of things from Nigerian government. How many of you dummies paid taxes? even if it's 200 naira per 5000 naira? Did YOU write a letter to your local government chairman to let him or her know you are not happy with the situation? We are too much of a coward! I'll throw out all my foreign passports to keep my Nigerian citizenship but thanks to UN I can keep my native citizenship. Most of you didn't even go to school while in Nigeria and yet blame Nigeria for your misfortunes while we have one of the cheapest quality education in the world (Yes fools as much as you don't want to believe it, Nigerian trained professionals are world class). It's easier to be happy in Nigeria than any other nation on this planet. Just too much complex. I want this, I want that and I have to buy those. Even while in Nigeria if you hear this Akamu is made in America you fools will stop buying the Nigerian ones. If cloth is originally Aba made, you fools will rather go to Okrika to buy bend down select used clothes worn by trashy Americans. LRG and Coogi are now using Ankara to make polo shirts and selling them for $80- $150. If that was a Nigerian designer who first did that, most of you won't wear it. But trust some wannabes are already paying N28,000 to cop one of those shirts made by Coogi and LRG . Backwards Backwards. Remember no quality designer is made in "America" they are all made in CHINA in sweatshops (Starving little kids thrown into labour at early age) Just the label is American. Retardos!!!!!

If you feel bad about it, do something about it------Fela Kuti.

Channel your energies effectively. All you have done is rant and hate everything that moves in Nigeria. It is better to target the[b] root cause[/b] than to cuss, abuse and swear at the symptoms. Search yourself.

What do you expect from a tribalist? babapupa has some very weird delusions of grandeur. He has even been forming Odua army, navy, airforce and judiciary on some other threads.

u come here and compare infrastructures with places like america who has been for 200 and something years with a 40 something year old country,
imagine what america was in thier 40 years, how currupt were they, they were full of thieves and sleeve and so was every great country in the past, we might be arrogant and currupt but we will grow, even the americans see the tendencies,

No more excuses! We can do better.

Bamidele noted that the governor had directed that a standard be maintained by the LASWA on the construction of jetties in the state, adding that the state government had provided two patrol boats, a fire boat, a search-and-rescue boat, 15 anti-terrorists guards and employment of men to monitor safety compliance on Lagos jetties.

Since I was born, FG has been removing the fuel subsidy annually . Maybe, they have now run out of definitions for fuel subsidy, so na "deregulation".

babapupa:
For now, they're operating under LASWA with assistance from the Nigerian police. The state is providing patrol boats, fire boats and sustained funding.

Beef-

I feel your pain. Must be sad that your looting and stealing elected and appointed brothers in the delta don't know anything about patrolling and protecting your messed up waterways and the good people of the delta. Showing face and throwing tantrums every time you hear Lagos obviously magnifying your sorryness and and the depth of your sufferings at the hands of your clueless no job duties understanding, lazy, and crooked kinsmen.

Ndo my brother,

Lagos ke! I thought you said you were forming your imaginary Odua navy. Abi fear don catch you? Fool, becomerich will soon draw your maps for you. Two of a kind.

[quote author=becomrich, link=topic=346255.msg4850206#msg4850206 date=1257211120]if you look at the lokoja, the owners of the land are oworo people, guess what, they are yoruba. see google.

you remember Ajayi crowther . go to lokoja , if i am correct, he even wrote the yoruba bible at lokoja. even read about lord lugard he wrote about the oworo people when he was governor general of nigeria, because he was living in lokoja. google online.


you can see agbaja and igbo nla. ask anyone what this names means in yoruba. i did a project in lokoja. and even was at the NTA on top of the hill. the chief engineer then was an igbirra man. i forget his name.[/quote]

even other state like oyo state and others can have inland anti-terrorist guards. to protect their state.[/quote]Another fool like babapupa.
Becomrich, your oga has told you that those guys in canoes are the new "Odua navy" (until responsible people slap him out of his silly dreams).

@Beaf, 25 of my post graduate years has been given totally to Nigeria, if thats not dying for 9ja, tell me what it is?? what has 9ja returned to me Nothing, but rowing against the tide.

@Kobojunkie, if the question is not necessary at this time, when will it ever be & when ever you feel its necessary, pls answer the question with reasons.

@Beaf, dont we too rise to levels that we lead & manage teams Way back in 2001, i had an interview for a job at Coventry, the interviewer was amazed that someone out of Africa was such a subject matter expert. I sat in a training in London 5 years ago & 2 Oyinbo participants at the end of the course, when asked what they were taking away from the course mentioned a particular methodology we developed in our office here in 9ja, Guess what, they will package it and come and sell in 9ja & Nigerians will pay $$$$ for it meanwhile it came out of Nigeria, so am saying in short is, (1) Disapora did not make me neither did 9ja, i chose to utilise the materials at my disposal to make life bearable for myself, so because you come from abroad doesnt necessarily turn you into a superior being. My worklife in England just reinforced my work ethics and practice & i cld therefore achieve a lot as planned.

Should we also just accept it that all Diasporans are Leaders and Managers of team & men because they crossed some border

Nigeria is an ever growing abyss. thats wot them Abike have failed to accept but wld rather go on an aimless journey. Pls do not be suprised if her committee decides to visit all the countries that we have Disaporans in, which in turn translates to estacode.

We r a pple without numbers who do not know how to rely on numbers. Even our population range is in the magnitude of tens of millions. Any developed nation thrives on stats. How else do u measure development. Yet we know not even how many we are - the basics.

I liken 9ja to be like one in a hole. Rather than trying to figure out how to get out of it, we are trying to figure out how to be comfortable in it even though the hole is dynamic in the fact that it is getting deeper

In 9ja, Children and adults who have no future, see no future and worse still, dream no future. What are a people without a vision, without a dream, without a goal.

SO, WHETHER U R DIASPORAN, OR LOCAL, U CANNOT FUNCTION IN AN ABYSS. Its that simple

25 years toiling in what you call an abyss is akin to dying over and over. But so is defending the "Abike's" and your green passport outside our shores, all the time holding a burning dream for a better country and your place in that journey.

The term "superior being" is too strong. Travelling gives experience that can't be bought, but there's also the reverse, that experience does not necessarily add to intelligence (it all depends on the individual).
Truth is, we are all Nigerians and there is no need to discriminate.

As you know, our govts hate stats and records (for very obvious reasons ), so lets not even go there. Like you have rightly pointed out, it shouldn't be about individual wealth; but collective development. But that tends to be a missing bit in the Nigerian psyche (poverty destroys the soul).

Can I literally die for Nigeria? No, that depth of loyalty must be a two way thing.

udezue:
So will Jonathan Ebere Goodluck take over then? Its not like that fool will be better than Yara but I'm just asking.

Unu go kill person one day o!

Guk:
Dear Nairalanders, a very pertinent question: IS NIGERIA WORTH DYING FOR?

Have you ever "died" for Nigeria?

Guk:
Nigerian Diaspora commission is the most unintelligent thing i have ever heard in my adult life, 1st and foremost, who said the "Diasporans" left Nigeria with the aim of acquiring knowledge to come back & develop Nigeria?

A sizable % left for BETTER LIFE whether by Student Visa route or Work permit route or Managed immigration route.

Why are you trying to create an "ARYAN" race within Nigeria?? Its bad enough that Diasporan are been rewarded with juicy roles as they flock back home simply becos they are "been to" or as labelled during OBJ's time, "Brain Gain" Why do they want to institutionalise "Class Citizenship" in Nigeria because as it stands now, Oyinbos are 1st Class citizens in 9ja; Diasporans are 2nd class citizens in 9ja; Nigerian professionals are 3rd class citizens in their own country, so u can imagine what class the "not well do" will be in.

Who says the "Undiasporans" dont have what it takes to develop this country??

Why would a Diasporan trust this so called Vultures called Politicians??

Is Abike not aware that its enabling environment that provided the less than average nigerian who went abroad to thrive & excel?? Put in an enabling environment & see whether we would have any Diasporan, we wont because the environment there wld be here.

Its obvious that Abike Dabiri-Erewa is just seeking relevance like any other politician, she's not productive just like her other colleagues in the house.

I have worked in England & I have worked in Nigeria, if i had my way, i will live in England and work in Nigeria until an enabling environment exists

I don't know about the Diaspora commission , but when you travel, you gain both experience and wisdom, even is its only to Cameroun or Ghana. You see the other parts of the elephant.

If you travel to an advanced country and rise to lead or manage teams, you will more than deserve any position given to you in Nigeria.

coolkaboom:
I have nothin against naija in diaspora , we all know things ar f, d up bk home. But really, many folks now abroad often develop some fake superiority complex overnite and start to put down friends that they used to hang with b4 they travelled.That's straight-up wack.
Goin abroad should be a natural choice and not a do or die affair. This is why thousands of our brothas are today languishin in stupid countries doing slave jobs, so they can maintain 'diaspora' status.

Thumbs-up to all naija keepin their head up and representing the green white green, home or away, nothin but luv for yall. Keep up the fight, light shall ultimately triumph over this gloom. we must never surrender. If we all run away, the idiots in power have won and our future remains mortgaged.

You might be hanging around pretentious people.
'diaspora' status WTF! By their friends. . .

@Beaf
I swear I have seen that building with the stiples around Ugbowo area of Benin city. I didn't know that building is so old
Now, I understand what they mean by stagnation

I honestly don't think that building still exists (I might be wrong). The british totally wiped out that empire and carted everything that could be lifted off to Europe. I found some more stuff below.

Here's a box built to look like the original palace, with statues, copper roof tiling and the python all in view. (Berlin)

Can you imagine that picture is better than modern day Bini?

My broda, na so we see am o!

The building with the stiples topped with eagles in the background is the palace. Those stiples used to be made of copper and were decorated with pythons (similar to the hippocratic oath ones, but upside down) it was very beautiful. I have a book with an image, but its buried somewhere. Otherwise I would have scanned it.

I prefer Nigeria, but strictly for selfish reasons.

I was quite a colourful young man when I first started driving abroad. But the law frowned on it, tickets for beating the red light, tickets for overtaking in the wrong lane, ticket for doing 60 something mph in a 30 mph zone. . .

Went to court twice because of driving. . .

In Nigeria, nobody will give you a ticket if you want to kill yourself.
