YOU ARE SICK IN THE HEAD.

Name the Industries the colonialists built.

Name the infrastructure they built apart from the 2 rotten rail lines they built from north to south to siphon our resources.

Name the power plants they built.

Are you aware that Nigeria’s first power plant was Kainji Dam, commissioned in 1964 by Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa?

Are you aware that prior to that, the British invaders were using imported industrial generators which they used to power just the GRAs they were living in?

So they ruled you and exported your resources for a century, and built NO POWER PLANT AND NO UNIVERSITY, NO MAJOR HOSPITAL, NO EXPRESSWAYS, NO FLYOVERS, NO MALLS, NO AIRPORTS, NO STADIUMS, NOTHING.

Why?

BECAUSE THEY CAME TO STEAL, NOT TO BUILD.

And where our leaders today might steal 20 to 30% of our budget, THE BRITISH STOLE 97%.

THAT IS WHY YOUR GRANDPARENTS WERE STARK BAREFOOT ILLITERATE VILLAGE PEASANTS.

Now run along, grow a brain, and quit being a happy, dumbass slave to European colonisers.

The white man can do nothing in Africa without black enablers. Even today african leaders agree to become western puppets. Blacks!

Lithiumite:
She should come out with proof and name them rather than making empty assertions so as to deceive are gaullible followers she's clean herself.

Naming them would be personal. She values her life.

Lithiumite:
So because the colonialist built the railways in Aba....does it mean they built modern Aba.

Go and read the revelations of the current minister of women. She said they share world bank loans and Nigerian world bank officials collect 40% of world bank loans as consultancy fees. The black man is obviously colonizing itself. The black man is the colonizers of itself. Almost 100 years of independence nothing to show

Usmanovic95:
1million job? Takullah SHEttima nitori oloun!! Ha!! Is begging now a full time job? Because that's how some people survive now.

How much is the salary for the so called jobs lol.

XOGBADO:
Good one! I hope our government and politicians learn from this.

It breaks my heart to see almost every sector of this government failing and yet we have educated and exposed people singing their praises.

The Nigerian people have a duty to demand accountability from our leaders.
Let's do better please

They will tell you to "give more time". Americans dont accept pleas for more time and thats how it should be.

GreatKingg:
In as much as I support the reform being carried out by this administration, I don't think it is wise enough to tell the citizens not to protest peacefully. Peaceful protest is part and parcel of democracy - which we currently practice.

Moreover, Tinubu and his goons protested against GEJ. If I'm not mistaken, it seems they even led the protest, not just a regular protester. They now sound more like hypocrites - urging and begging people not to protest peacefully.

Now, my only problem is Nigerians don't know how to protest peacefully. It is difficult for a peaceful protest not to be hijacked by criminals in Nigeria. That is my only fear in this.

The administration should not be afraid of a peaceful protest. But the fear of the mayhem(s) that has always followed the so-called peaceful protests in Nigeria is scary. A lot of criminals are waiting by the corner to unleash mayhem on people and businesses, all in disguise of protest.

All in all, the government should communicate clearly with its citizens, assist the poor and the needy in this difficult period of the reforms, and more importantly, cut down on government cost.

I was so disturbed and concerned when news broke the other day that the Nigerian government released N90 billion to subsidize the cost of the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage for citizens. This is not only wasteful, but so unreasonable in a country where over 50% of its citizens live below the poverty line. The government really erred on this. Imagine what that amount could have provided for each family in this difficult period.

But on a second note, Nigeria is a very religious country. The subsequent government tries to assuage different religious groups so as not to be labeled anti-christian/anti-muslim. At the end of the day, we (both citizens and leaders) are our own problem.

As I have always maintained, we need re-orientation as a nation.

Reforms must always hv early signs of success as a sign that will persuade ppl to wait.

The worst are those who intentionally elect incompetent people into power just because of tribe and religion.
Things will get better if each region manage themselves. Just like in middle east, there are some countries that support radicalism while others don't.
Imagine joining a radical people with none radical people how will they grow?
I doubt if things will change, people are getting more wicked as the day goes.
For example, fraternity was set up in higher institutions just for socialization and to fight for student rights. But it degenerated to a deadly situation.
It seems humans rather than making effort to be good are focus on who can be more wicked. All these reflect in how things work in the country.
Our mindset needs to change.

Tinubu was not elected. The election was rigged.

tegini:
The real people fighting dangote are the imf , word bank and other international bodies as well as the people giving loans and collateral , go and read the book "the confession of the economical hitman" dangote knows , but he can't say shit because he is also part of the corruption, Peter obi leave the matter make dangote suffer wetin people dey suffer too , he knew about this whole thing , but he thinks the government will support him ,not knowing that Nigeria is under neocolonialism , I just dey laugh , people don't understand shit , Nigeria is a big trouble. Our future has been sold only God knows till when , make I do okro soap jam am with better eba

I don't buy all these imf world bank blaming. It is Nigerians that accept their loans and terms and even employs white ppl at the nnpc leadership due to inferiority complex

Instead of all the kidnappers and bandits to come out and protest they wont. They are looking for easy prey.

But why do police and soldiers shoot at protesters when the matter they are protesring affects them. Black man seems to no get sense

Emekaonline:
My own is to say that protests are allowed and it is people's fundamental right to protest. No one can take that away. However anyone caught with VIOLENT protest anywhere, whether Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa, should be shot at sight and his blood be made as sacrifice. The level of destruction during Endsars was much and must not be allowed to repeat itself

Black man with ur backward mentality. They should be arrested and tried then sentenced not shot at sight. Blacks sha.

Oluwomonext212:
There was a protest in Leeds, United Kingdom. Police operational vehicle. was burnt 🥵 and few others damaged, as well with a public bus razes down to ashes. No bullet was fired, no one was kill. This wasn’t a protest against bad governance, just to prevent social workers and police from taking some kids into foster home against their parents will.

But any phem in Africa, Army and police are all out in full force firing AK47, like they are in war fronts.

It’s well with us

I hv always wondered why soldiers and police actually obey the order and fire at protesters. As if what is being protested against doesnt affect them. Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

CharleyBright:
African mentality.
They would fail to perform while holding tight to power and then turn to resist any protest their incompetent govt.

The werey Protester called Tinubu organized and led protesters into the streets against IBB in the 90s and then led protest against Jonathan govt in the 2011s.
Now he is afraid of protest against his useless incompetent govt.
The protest must hold against his govt so he also gets a dose of what he dished out.
If Lagosians like, let them try to bully and blackmail people from holding the protest in Lagos, it will still hold in other parts of the country.

What baffles me the most is how soldiers and police are on the side of the government and shoot at protesters when ordered to do so. As if what is being protested against doesnt affect them. Blacks.

Augustine2244:
So says a frog eyed polithiefcian.Must it be halfway through BAT'S tenure, before his "good" policies work out?
We should be patient? Has our names become Patience?
We should be patient but the FG has already procured a new aircraft carrier for the presidency.
Nigerians are the most lily livered and cowardly set of Africans in existence.
We insult and make fun of Kenyans for weirdness, but they are highly intolerant to bad governance and got more courage and balls in challenging bad governance than cowardly Nigerians.
We only get balls in ethnic and religious bigotry and useless meaningless protests like that over Mohbad's death.

Nigerians will never protest. Kidnapping and crimes will just increase. They love to take it out on nigerizns who they feel they can get. Its easier to commit crime qnd Kidnap than to protest

nolamicautos:
She’s black, I support her. I will never support racial Trump who doesn’t care about immigrants like he forgot his grandfather and mother were both immigrants from Germany and Scotland.

...

Tempulated:
True. He bought them all with massive dollars and promised appointments. See the way he was sharing huge dollars openly during his campaign. That's when i knew HELL was coming over nigeria.

The number of ppl that reject such money must outnumber the ones that will accept it for nigeria to be better. I still maintain that Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

Osanoghodua1:
I went to the market to buy yam, a tuber of a mystrable yam was going for 7k, how many can I buy to feed my children? Tinubu is a curse brought upon Nigerians by the wicked INEC chairman. The protest must go on as planned.

Nit just inec chairman but also 7 "judges" of PEPT and 7 "judges" of the supreme court + ballot snatchers. For Nigeria to be better the number of good people in strategic positions must out number the number of evil ppl in strategic positions. Its not just about the president.

PerfectStranger:
Constructive dialogue for how long? He should just step down already for a better competent leader

Dont you see how Biden just stepped down. The black man doesnt know how to respect himself for the most part.

lastmessenger:
we ? Who is the president of France ? Abdul ?
Same way your arrogance made you feel you can kill all the Jews and now all we hear is ceasefire

Did you know France still has about 3-6 colonies still fighting for their independence?

megawealth01:
My cutix did it again

Full bid candidate... Men mount

The only reason I bought cutix back then was because I consider it an ANAMBRA project

What is the qualification date for the dividend?

Adblg0610:
Yes, it’s one of our pressing needs in the following ways:

1. A good Super highway facilities smooth movement of people and goods.
2. It’s essential for economic development, by supporting trade and commerce.
3. It promotes connectivity among communities, states and regions.
4. It enhances access to education, healthcare and other essential services.
5. Properly designed super highway can help to minimize accidents.
6. It contributes to overall improvement in the quality of lives of road users.

Blacks and their reasoning. Its a sign of indiscipline to always be starting projects and not maintaining existing projects. How many existing roads hv proper and well maintained street lights. None has rumble strips. Blacks! Largely indisciplined, evil and irresponsible people.

Standing5:
the old river niger bridge I heard was shaky

It is a sign of indiscipline to always be building new things instead of fixing existing ones.

Standing5:
Is there no road that can take one from Badagry, Lagos to Kebbi or Sokoto already?

What is the point being in debt, with jobless souls that are hungry and then try to build a super alternative route to one random rural state like sokoto or kebbi?

This is how our debt keeps pilling up. We build project for the sake of looting returns and real estate appeal.

The existing road has no streetlights or rumble strip. Instead of them to use the money to modernize existing roads they building new roads. Nigeria is aboug the size of texas do we really need all these roads ?

Blacks sha

SIRTee15:
Guy rest. I live abroad and it's not boring. The problem is Nigerians want the typical Lagos social life in Canada or any other western country.
I do barbecue party almost every month during summer and invite friends...and vice versa.
Get out of your comfort zone and do new things, go on staycation for few days or even vacation abroad if U can afford it..U will be surprised how cheap the package can be if U plan ahead.
Check out tourist sites in your locality and try some- Boat trips, water parks, lots of amusement park everywhere, local shows, ventriloquist/muppets, concerts, fiesta, so many. Try new restaurants with your fiancée or family- Italian, Indian, mexican, Asian, Mediterranean, Spanish etc.
If U like clubs, enter night life. There are even afro clubs springing up everywhere.

Everything is not about going to joint and chopping isi ewu or guzzling guilder. Have an open mind, abroad is not boring, it's how U define fun.

Living in denial of the truth. The point ive made is the reason most ppl after 15 or 20 years abroad eventually all head back to Nigeria. The loneliness culture also leads to the high drug usage and mass shootings

Calitoscassius:
Most Black and carribean people don't like to cycle, they like to seat at home cook, cook, cook, cook and cook, and eat, eat, eat i say eat, eat again and then sleep, next day up early to work and repeat.

Ur right bro. Glad you enjoyed it.

ednut1:
the clubs i joined are free. They have paid ones too.

Is this not socializing below The people complaining seat at home and don’t make any effort. They should keep crying. I was at a 9ja salah party last week we were over 50 guests. 🥱

You hv joined the western ppl with their silly defences. Deep down you know its true. If your bikibg group was so social you wont even hv time to post it here. You hv copied an impersonal online pic to depict fun lol. I like ur last sentence. You were at a NIGERIAN party.

My point is westerners are antisocial. All the nice infrastructure means nothing withoit the social culture.

Try and form a nigerian and carribean biking club it will double th fun.

ednut1:
false . This is from last year i rode with a club through out.
https://www.nairaland.com/7819069/bicycle-ride-adventure-toronto-mississauga

I belong to 3 bike clubs and they have this same trip tomorrow. However i have other commitments so i did it alone. Its summer every one is socializing and flexing. Different hobbies dey find one to do. Shikena

Biking club is still strictly business. Deep down you know its true. Like i said im happy for you. Its still better than nothing. Hv fun

ednut1:
Its long holiday weekend in Canada ( public holiday on Monday July 1). Took an extra day to go on a bicycle adventure . Start point- border of Toronto/Etobicoke and Mississauga . End Point - Niagara Falls.

Solo ride but joined a group along the way.

1- Cycling Statistics
2- Energy gels, Energy Drink, Dates, Chocolate and fruits
3- Bicycle

Canada has an isolation and loneliness problem. Do you agree? It has all the nice stuff the only problem is everyone is working to pay bills and theres no sense of community despite the nice landscapes. To make matterz worse, the culture is anti-social. All the fun stuff you do is just you and urself unless maybe you hv a family or a girlfriend. Enjoy what you can of it tho. Nice one. Im happy for you

Emman08:
Its been four years already. Imagine beheading and chopping up a man's body. I hope he gets the harshest possible sentence

Blacks have always believed in free money and lavish lifestyle. The black murderer doesnt want to go and work. He wants free money.

Bj5all:
What is your point actually? Are you in anyway supporting immorality? Men that sleep around are fools, women that sleep are fools. This has nothing to do with gender. If i have a younger brother who has multiple girlfriends, without being told I know he has problems. He has problem with lust, he has problem with causing girls pains, he has problem with managing finances because he is going to spend recklessly, he has problem with being focus in what is important in life because he has plenty distractions, he lacks morals and he lacks discipline. As a concern brother I won't mind my business, I will talk and do my best for him to see his faults and probably amend his ways.

If I also have a sister who have decided to also make her life of no value and wants to be the rag for men to use either for fun or for monetary reason, i will also talk.

It's not a gender thing, this is not trying to control women, this is a fight for humanity. No sane girl or boy who is properly raise would want to be sleeping around.

Having multiple girlfriends is natural selection. Its a biological process.

mvem:
this is not a white or black thing. Even here in the United States, the police are made to wear video cameras on their uniform and you are also free to record them(it is within your rights). Do you know how many cases of the police over-using power that have been seen even some cases of extra-judicial killings...some very horrible incidences. But the difference is accountability as all these cases are always brought to court and most times the police pay the price if they do something wrong. But in Nigeria it is a different ball game

Its about being black abeg. The black man doesn't know how to handle power. Quote me anywhere. Any little power they hv they want to be worshipped. Most are foolish

Caaz:
She's really tall and beautiful.

The men are out doing themselves just to wife her.
Mi likey.

Power of a YOUNG woman. Who no like better thing?

Melagros:
COMRADES, let jungle justice be served on the sodomist without further ado

In Nigeria we don't tolerate this shit, you left a very 'pleasurable something' to engage in tormenting your fellows. What a nonsense

Black man. Black mentality.
