resembles this one in Kenya

And what's the meaning behind the design of the Lagos train station? The one you showed in east africa had its design inspired by some meaning.

kingjooo:
Please what type of skills sir? And i equally want to know if one can possibly travel there to learn skills.thanks

That's probably the easiest and most welcomed route to enter legally.Apply to universities and earn your degrees preferably in medicine,engineering or academia and you've got yourself a pacific sized ocean of opportunities.

GDP ??
Lol you no sabi.
Gross GDP is is the total domestic service both goods and services of a country. It is used to know the size of a country's economy.

GDP alone is useless when you want to know the if a country is doing fine or not.

Do you know the population of Nigeria and Ukraine. Nigeria is over 190million and Ukraine is over 40million. Obviously our GDP should be higher than theirs.

You check for GDP per capital income not GDP.
GDP per capital income in Lehman's term is when you divide the GDP of a country with her population, then you should know how much each individual is worth.
Nigerians GDP per capital income is $2250
Ukraine GDP per capital income is $3680

I hate to be the one to break this news to you, Ukraine better pass us. Oga no vex

You talk a lot of sense but then you have a lot of rough edges which makes me think your financial literacy still needs a lot of refinement and education. But overall well said.

Officialgarri:
it changes nothing. He remains your president

Safe journey sir. Any man who is a president to over 200 million people is indeed a success and I pray for such success on myself

But he's woefully failed on his promise to make 1Naira equal in value to $1US and the economy has been sputtering with very low growth of 1.5% or lower .Is that success to you?

9jaRealist:
Well said….
Independent thought and inquiry is not the strongest suit of many colonized Nigerians/Africans.

Unfortunately, because most of what passes for ‘education’ in Nigeria starts with the phrase “repeat-after-me”….
Most supposedly educated Nigerians merely cram/memorize and regurgitate any and every drivel that is served up.

But that's a different criteria used there bcoz these cities have large expat communities.They rate poorly due to high cost of living that's why you see Hong Kong,Seoul ,Paris ,Rome ,Nairobi and Cublin rating poorly.The survey was done exclusively using expats living in these places unlike one for Lagos that used indices measuring quality of life for all residents rich and poor.

thesicilian:
Last last Africans are going to bastardize Europe and America so bad that those places will no longer be appealing to visit.

You're so damn right unfortunately.Seeing these unsightly scenes and remembering my fellow African room mates in USA - they didn't like keeping the house clean/organized,kitchen always messy,won't pick up their own trash ,didn't like American culture of daily showering,always late for work and they'd never have time to make their bed...yet they had plenty time for trash talk on phone,watch EPL ,visit with friends etc...i 'd say you're 100% right unfortunately. I hated my fellow Africans (though not all are like that) bcoz of the reckless/dirty irresponsible ways sand i can see why some westerners don't like us.

If you were to swap whole populations between Europe/Africa then within 50yrs you'd see Africans have made a mess of Europe and now they want to migrate back to Africa that's been made a paradise by those immigrant Europeans.

Btcking49ja:
some of us lost our life savings in crypto �

That's because you didn't do proper due diligence .Believe me you can make it elsewhere without that crypto stuff.

ENGINEERG:
NORTH with so many Calamities
Not a place anyone can be proud to associate with

Its still part and parcel of Nigeria and its associated with Nigeria worldwide.

lexy2014:
When people's minds aren't developed, a city or country cannot be developed. Build one million ikoyis, it won't change anything

You're so damn right i hate to admit it. Take a million slum dwelling Africans to live for 20yrs in Geneva and at the end of the experiment that world class city will be turned into a shithole.Or if you take 340m poorest Africans to live in USA and you ship out all US citizens to Africa then after 60yrs you'll see those same Africans now want back migration having ruined the USA. Its their (or should i say our) mindset that is sick.

#KeepItOn

Nigerians need to deliver Nigeria from the hands of this unpatriotic vagabonds and terrorists that have seized power.

If tomorrow the terrorist in power unbanned Twitter, those piggie zombies will do about turn and tell you how intelligent their zombie in chief is in unbanning Twitter. Nitwits without iota of independent thinking capacity.

Nigerians need this Twitter ban so they can go back to doing more productive stuff.

See wetin Buhari regime don cause.. new breed of fraudsters every corner..Effcc and the government should find a way to help the youth of these country.. if so, arresting those youth committing crime dey sweet them
.
at a cheap price DM me for your logo and flyer design

Is it Buhari to blame or is it not these people's overwhelming greed and criminal minds?

Lots of Nigerians are legitimately earning their livelihood selling gari ,puff puff or operating okadas.

QuotaSystem:
More Patriotic Nigerians are voicing out around the country.

Nigeria will survive and prosper.

Nigeria has been on this nationhood journey for a good 60yrs. What has changed and what has gone so wrong that some now want out?

A referendum like that of Scotland in 2014 can solve this issue.

mrvitalis:
Referendum would determine who are in majority

And which side would you campaign for? I'm very sure you're not neutral on this emotive issue.

Christiansen:
Meanwhile, we should get a few submarines too. I doubt if we even have one

None of subsaharan African countries has even one (except South Africa with 3 subs)

Angola will be likely if oil prices come back to over $100.

bunto:
I am NOT defending Twitter o!
To hell with Twitter. Nigerians should go and find how to be more productive instead of doing rubbish on twitter.

Modified

There is no contention here. Nigeria comes first.
Nigerians keep refering to Donald Trump being banned from Twitter.
But banning Donald Trump from Twitter is different from banning President Buhari from Twitter.

It's like my mother and my father fighting, they are still my family members, probably fighting over me and my siblings's interest.
But I will have to take sides of my father and my neighbor are fighting.

Twitter cannot come and be disrespecting our president and get away with it.

Nigerians are not wise at all, including the elites. No wonder oyibos play yo-yo with us

You were just going so right in the 1st paragraph ...until the modification came in.

Lilpen3758:
let me guess something about you
You come from a rich family right??
don't lie??

Well ,i'll say maybe ,then maybe not.We were just an ok family but not poor.

But you know what matters most -its that i went out and accomplished all the stuff i have now on my own without relying on family jewels.I can buy a brand new car if i want on 1 month's income,i paid for my 3bed house fully the week i moved in and i make in a month what most people can't make in a year.

I say these things not to brag/show off but to emphasize there's real joy in accomplishing things on your own yet these are things i would 've never ever thought even possible some years back.Honestly truly there's pleasure in toiling on your own.Just stay focussed ,work extra hard and be disciplined .

medropoly:
This question is for the honest and sincere minded people.
Can you marry a woman like your mother?

Let me start with myself.
"My mother is really a nice and caring woman, (mostly to us her children) but to her husband (my dad) the relationship there is really not cool. To some extent, I can't because she dose allot of things that really annoys me as her child not to talk of her husband".

So what about you?

To be perfectly honest you do carry on a few of your mom's traits like it or not ,and we all do .

The fruit doesn't fall far from its tree, they say.

Lilpen3758:
Sister no listen to your mother because things has changed.......you think say poverty sweet?? you think say if i be woman dey way i broke now i for no start ashawo work??
you think say to dey poor for nigeria deh easy??

There's lots of wisdom in what the mother says though.Afterall those "ready made" things will never allow you to earn that fulfilling sense of accomplishment.

Itiswell2:
Buhari govt don't want freedom of speech in the first place

That Twitter ban is a good thing. Now Nigerians will find time to do more productive things instead of Twitter wars.

That title is a huge exaggeration / misrepresentation .London alone can bury Uganda in buildings ,infrastructure and population -both local residents and int'l tourist arrivals.

dvkot:
to work there

No you can't. You need skills ONLY in which the USA is in short supply otherwise you'll be rejected as an "economic migrant" not adding value to the USA..

trendo360:
The igbos are doing so well globally ... Making the black race proud.

What about Wolofs, Xhosas , Amharas ,Lingalas ,Madinkas ,Chikuyus and Hereros? They're all black too and doing well in their niche.

SultanOfPuna:
Since I was born and now I'm getting old
I have never seen a Northerner go abroad and Excel

Even the Muslims from Syria that entered Europe started riots,protest, attacks and beheading a French teacher.

How about Amina Mohamed ?? Ain't she an excelling northerner at the UN ?

zipamowei:
You have the audacity to call the 74 million Americans that chose to vote for Donald Trump FOOLS?
Wow, what an effontery! How does one explain this? Your own statement that has no bearing to the topic in consideration, couldn't have exposed any more, who really is the FOOL but yourself. You were better off being silent.
"Even a fool is considered wise when he keeps silent, discerning when he seals his lips. Proverbs 17:28"

Yes i say again and again they're 74m FOOLS, with all the gazzillion lies, his crimes ,his brazen schemes to subvert justice,his dictatorial tendencies,his corruption of America's justice system,his cheating on taxes ,he's been a fraudster with several courts coming down hard on his
evil schemes,his foul mouth and insults to others and his brazen selfishness to use gov't for self enrichment.Yes they are 74m fools for being so blind to this lifelong crook.And you're a fool too.

timesup234:
One by one they will all die until Christianity is eradicated from Nigeria

Its not Christianity to be eradicated ,it is gonna be the mega churches as business to enrich these pastors.

Badsatan:
I need this weather in Naija

No you surely don't need this in Nigeria bcoz it'll mess up your electric powerlines and petrol delivery making Nigeria's epileptic power issue even more dire.

Anter:
Am sure Buhari is looking for what else to ban, this statement is certainly not from the fulani President.

I thought he was Nigeria's president governing all tribes/religions ?

onthehill:
Seven Nigerian clerics have died within six months (December 2020 to June 2021), IgbereTV reports.

Sharing photos of the clerics, Media Apostle wrote on Facebook;


https://www.facebook.com/105295774556365/posts/338907924528481/?app=fbl

But these are not preachers,/clerics ,pastors etc.

These are businessmen of the megachurches coz lots of them have used religion and the fame it brings to acquire vast wealth.

Ugosample:
The question you should ask is that do majority of the people who live in nigeria want a sane country

No matter how you put in effort, if the majority of the people are backward thinking, everything will be anti clockwise

That might sound a sane argument but then again you need a rethink ,Nigeria is not beyond salvation even with all those backward thinkin folks.Reason i say that is bcoz i live in USA yet we had 74m backward thinking fools voting for Trump and i know quite a few other nations with a worse illiteracy than Nigeria.America is very progressive developed nation but you'd be surprised at the way millions think and behave.

Unsad:
Super sad. How couldn't he see his demise coming ?

You think its easy to deal with monumental stuff? I'm glad he didn't bcoz its mentally/emotionally draining ,it'd be a traumatic crisis.
