This man has so much time in his hands to reply every Tom Dick and Harry online.

Yet u hardly see him utter a word in the House.

1. You can only talk in the senate if you're allowed to by the sen pres (so u can see their power already)
2. Let me assure you Ben Bruce doesn't respond to every "Tom Dick and Harry" on twitter. He chooses carefully for those who adulate him for retweets, and those who have goofed for mockery. That's why you've never heard of me cos though I must be one of the most responders to his tweets, I don't do both.

I applaud his efforts but when I try to open up the conversation for him so he can understand better, I become one who must not be acknowledged. Note that this is the same attitude of all Nigerian famous people: they're far more interested in their own egos than solving Nigerian problems. I have seen through all of them and that's why nobody knows me.

And verily everyone is subjected to a Kabiyesi as long you respect the tradition. In yoruba land an Oba is seen as a deity, you can be noble than him( the King) but you are not greater than the throne.

Kabiyesi Alayelua igba keji orisa eje ki o tumi se o ASE!!! Wa.

If I told you this was a sign of our backwardness, would you believe? If I told you these people are in the way of Nigerian integration as one nation, would you believe? I won't even try. It requires a lot more preparatory knowledge to even have an idea. We think this monarchy is our own thing, unique to Africans. Lol. I laugh. Down with backwardness. Up with Republicanism. Up with societal progress. An adult can't keep eating from a feeding bottle simply because he used to do it some time ago!

When I was in zaria, I entered a family of a man that had 27 children from 4 wives. My own father has 4 other brother's. They all have a total of 13 children. That's 4 men

Up north, one man has 27 and counting.

We must take the minister for agriculture serious. He knows what he is saying. IMO, 2050 is too far. The north already has 25 million almajiris roaming the streets.

Do you know how many children Atiku, Sanusi and Co have.

Very unfortunate ...
Watch them come here to tell you it's religion.

Does religion shroud common sense?

Lalasticlala your admired governor has sharpened his langa langa for fresher puma.

I can claim to be Nigeria's number 1 campaigner for population control. You don't hear of me precisely because the ppl with the power and influence don't want you to hear of me. For every so-called % of economic growth Nigeria attains, it is quickly cancelled out and left in negative territory by double or triple the % in population increase occasioned by irresponsible procreation. ALL our cultures and religion in Nigeria promote, encourages, mandates birth birth birth. The only reason we've not even exceeded 200 million by now is the incredible hardship the Babangida government put us in, which forced us to reduce procreation slightly. My own father and mother had over half a dozen children. Till today, between us, we've not had up to half a dozen children. If we followed their footsteps, it means in just 2 generations, 2 ppl would have resulted in about 60 people! Nigeria, there is no god controlling human affairs and if we breed without sense, a time will come when we'll have to start eating one-another. The man who helped the world able to produce more food from agriculture by science (Borlaug) warned that man's ability to reproduce himself, if not properly controlled, is the greatest threat to human survival. The people keep on increasing GEROMETRICALLY (especially in "religious" Africa and the Middle East) and the land available for farming, the seas for fishing, all remain the same size. Nigeria has actually even reduced in size since the Bakkassi handover. I pity the human race; I pity Nigeria. Future generations will curse us

DesChyko:
Two things.
1. The nation is self-sufficient.

2. Threats cannot dampen determination.

Nnamdi Kanu may be a sacrificial lamb. With the way the govt is going about it, they may even successfully make a martyr out of him.

But one sure thing is: The idea has been revived and re-inculcated in the igbo folk. It'll take more than panicky detentions to rub it off.

#ProudlyIgbo!

How I wish all people of Igbo ethnicity could be dispatched back to their enclave and ejected from Nigeria. What a relief it would be

Why are you complaining ? When you have oil well at your backyard and you see people pumping them to develop other cities while your village remains in shambles for decades when you will realize that it is worth setting everything ablaze.

Decades you say abi? Well, the oil was in your backyard for millenia, even before you got there, let alone anyone else. Why didn't you use it to develop yourselves? Maybe the Shiroro and Kainji dam communities should start blowing up the dams in their areas because they "own" the water used to power tha dams to provide electricity to "other parts of Nigeria". Nigerians are mostly incredibly dumb; lacking in power of the intellect but overflowing with emotional responses and actions controlled by instinct - pretty much like apes

Oyibos are good psychologists. They're having a great payday feeding on black ape's incurable inferiority complex. The ape denies it stridently all the time but his actions betray his mind. Pupils from ordinary govt schools here go abroad and beat Oyibo in their prestigious universities there. My own brother is my living proof. Born in mind-numbing poverty, just able to pass through public schools because they were free, he's now going to all their prestigious universities there on scholarships paid by them. Down with elitism. Nature doesn't discriminate in awarding talent and intelligence

No mind them. And it all seems like the female orangutan has to always wait for the male one to give her a go ahead before she starts her barking..



I used to respect the woman oh, not until she created one useless thread about a man throwing juju into a power plant and shutting the whole system down. I criticized the post only for her to insult me on that thread.

Omo! I've never knew we shared same country with silly minded fellows that believe in a fairy tale of an old and sinless god (their incorruptible baba that stole $2.8billion in conjuction with Ebola Ewu of Ota) coming to wash away their sins(jail or kill corrupt politicians) and make them whole. A man whom over a thousand souls perished in his name and he openly voiced out support for boko haram. A man that his military regime brought nothing but tyranny, hardship, death, loss of jobs, business closures, etc. will now come and revive the economy.

According to my fellow Engineer, no amount of money will be enough for a visionless and wasteful government.

Oby Ezekwesili is an empty barrel that makes a lot of noise. She's a product of Nigerian emptiness which is the very same reason why Jonathan ultimately became president: our glorification for going to university and earning high degrees. Yes, we brought all this upon ourselves. Many of these people, being Nigerians, were brought up under our supersitious and savage mindset and belief system and they spent all their "education" narrowly focusing on the subjects that gives them the PhDs and when you all elevate them into positions, they start to make pronouncements on things they know nothing about. They start to do crash courses on world history and it can never be same as those of us who grew doing these things, stdying, questioning our thoughts and the world, and modifying as we learn further. These people are a liability to this country and they're not going away, cos they CRAVE the limelight

Kalvan:
Makes absolutely no sense. The kid's car models don't move or work! He's no better than a sculptor/toymaker.Why does Africa always celebrate mediocrity?!

They're dumb here nau. If you talk they scream on you that you're jealous. It's always all about individual achievement and not how it keys into Nigerian progress. Ok now he goes to America to study car design abi? Ok is he coming back to work on car design industry in Nigeria? Where is the car industry in Nigeria? Car assembly industry you mean? I hear we'll soon be making pencils in 2018. Praise the Lord for that. Nigerians are making planes, cars, drones and apps. Lol. When exactly do we come down from the clouds we put our heads in and face reality? It's depressing to be a Nigerian if you're knowledgeable. I'm an engineer by training too and Tambuwal has no idea of anything. These people have no idea how nations develop to where they are and that's why we think we're first world making cars, planes etc while serious countries are making toothpicks, tomato paste, pencils, radios and countless other things that keep us alive. Country of clowns!

coolitempa:
So the ineffectual buffoon who bankrupted his country....wants us to thank him for leaving after he had been voted out.......my friend you lost the elections which you did your best to scuttle and failed......and we are supposed to be grateful....this man needs to be in jail...

You don't know anything at all. Thank God he left and set that extremely important precedent, you would have been forced to know by now. Sadly you will remain ignorant of what life can become and that's thanks to Jonathan.

For all readers, I did not vote Jonathan one day. I don't think Jonathan should have been Nigerian president; but I thank him eternally for what happened on March 28 2015 and the honest steps he took even before to make that day a reality. Let ignorant buffoons keep mouthing their ignorance on Nairaland; it is allowed. But I know Nigeria, I know history of this world, and if nothing else, I know current affairs which still manages to elude dumb asses

raayah:

Very misleading!

According to sources online, Nigeria has 117 places of higher institution ( 1 in Nigeria , assuming each school takes in 5000 students a year on averag
“As you see me here, I supervise projects over N200 billion but I don’t have N20 million on my own apart from the house that government sold to me and another one in Lugbe that the bank bought and sold to staff which they are deducting from source.e, only 585000 students get admission. Jamb takes about 1.5 million students a year. So even if all universities in Nigeria take full capacity of 5000, there are still at least a million students willing to get an education.

What should this extra 1 million a year students do? Wait and try again and join the next batch, higher numbers? some of them have to migrate to other countries where it is possible to get higher education.

The former government tried to add universities to the country but not sure about this government.

I am not even going to touch on the standards of the institutions. We all know that one.

Until the government builds more universities, and increases the standard of education, students will keep going out of the country to get an education.

This is the self-righteous thinking across the board of most Nigerians. It shows how far nigeria will continue to be from the light until we re-assess our thinking.
University is no longer for education in Nigeria. It is for status symbol to answer "graduate" and also a means to get a high-salaried job which used to be performed by our parents with a secondary school education. The vast majority of Nigerian graduates are empty people. If they ever read anything, it was always something towards getting that certificate. Most don't have any reading skills or interest for that matter. It shows in their values, worldview, and approach to life in general. No wonder older people in their 50s 60s, even 70s who missed out on "education" when Nigeria was still a sane country where only intellectually-inclined people attended higher institutions are now going back to also answer "graduate". Let there be a law today that no degree is required for any job and that only your skills and on-the-job performance or interview/aptitude test results would suffice and in a few years you'll quickly see how much Nigerians hate anything academic. This is what I'm proposing but good for them, no one of our big men/women is co-operating because all their clout arise from the "education" (read: degree upon degree) they have acquired from foreign universities. Have they been able to use the "education" to do anything other than blow big big grammar in the media, as Nigeria continuously slides into the status of a failed state?
Nigeria is a joke and all the people therein are a lost people, absolutely clueless about how life should be and what constitutes progress for a nation. University is wasting Nigeria's money that would be better spent on EDUCATION. University in Nigeria is not education - it is certificate collection. In the digital age of 2016, the govt must spend all money necessary to get all children into boarding school to escape the poison of their parents and environment and give them sound learning and character development, with tens of thousands of teachers imported from abroad to supplement the very few here who know anything at all. The majority of the teachers here are poison to the children's well-being. Una never know anything. We have not started in this country. We are just joking. Where can I start? I've not even written 5% of what I have to say.

Everyone, including girls, have the right to obsess over their idols. It's just that our minds are so corrupt here and people usually always have ulterior motives. Entertainers always attract young women. I'm sure y'all never heard of some women who committed SUICIDE because their idol (a male actor) died. Documented fact please

One major difference - rather, THE major difference between Nigeria and decent foreign country is that there are little opportunities in Nigeria. Life is made too easy for few with the right connections and impossible for most others. The reason why some seemingly-qualified people you know do odd jobs abroad is because they can not - as yet - apply for better jobs. The oyibos don't do "graduate" "graduate" like in Nigeria. First thing is: are you legally allowed to apply and get the good job? That knocks out 90% of the people you know. The good thing is if you have legal papers, your upward mobility in life is dependent on your will to try. So a security guard for example will be working towards a certification to apply for a better job and in 5yrs he could be a "big boy". Your life is in your hands abroad if you are legal. In Nigeria the system traps you in failure and blames you for it, frustrates you till you agree you're good for nothing. Note that I've lived both lives and I'm still in it

Who cares, Valencia spoilt my ticket and I have just lost 13k to bet9ja...

Don't worry, others will also lose money and a few will win. Bet9ja only takes a small commission. It wasn't designed for everybody to win or else you for know say no be only you dey find money. Try WWTBAM where you can affect your chances

Pidggin:
Thieves! Why should FG collect money from me when my account gets funded, especially after paying my tax? This is WRONG on all levels.

It is not wrong. Nigeria hardly has new ideas. Anything you hear being practised in Nigeria was copied from usually advanced countries. You can see the law is a 2004 law, just not being implemented before now. Nigerians do not understand democracy. The government can tell you to begin walking on your heads today if the law passes and you must comply. To prevent such stupid laws, that's why you have representatives in NASS to argue your case. If you don't care and let them do whatever, you get whatever. Nigeria is far far far from being an enlightened society. We think democracy is just "ijoba alagbada" (govt of ppl who wear traditional clothes) as Yoruba would say

PMB:- Mr. Gates, I hope you're not here to carry out your “Racist Population Control” exercise through UNICEF & WHO like you did in Kenya in February 2015, where millions of girls & women were sterilized under the cover of an anti-tetanus vaccination program?

Dangote:- Baba, ask am once again because I no trust this Oyinbo people fa!

The very means to black man's salvation will always be rejected by black man who will continue to be proud of it. Why? Cos we're just a level above apes. Continue to dey born, u hear! Just don't complain oyibo refuses to let your excess waste of human lives come and damage their country. Reach 10 billion but remain in Africa. Pathetic race!

gurunlocker:
Islam... we call it 'imole'

didn't she know the security status of the country? they should do registration without your picture? WTF!.... call your husband before unveiling? Muslim women are trying..

The security status of the country is caused by the very same religion of Islam, now clearly a threat to world harmony and progress. Islam is a "death cult" as Ayaan Ali (ex-muslim) puts it and either Muslims learn to modernise themselves and ignore whole parts of their evil literature as Christians and Jews have done, or else they must all be fully dealt with in time. The world had better confront these people as we are losing time: they are breeding like rabbits and multiplying their share of the world population.
If you convert to Islam, it is sensible and supported. If you do the infinitely more logical thing of leaving, they murder you, fully sanctioned by their "holy book". What barbarians!

Let us keep celebrating our "talent" in populating the world. We don dey hear am already and this is just the beginning. Anyways, I know a family where a great-grandchild had a child before the great-grandmother passed. Do we have a name for that? Great-great?

Nichobabe:
OP the difference is that when you are with EFCC, you get small respect as EFCC cell no be jail just like Dokpasi.

Metuh was with EFCC, but he go court to ask to be free but court send am go prison. When he was in EFCC cell, was he in handcuff?

Now instead of EFCC officer na prison warden dey follow am

Instead of EFCC bus na black maria dey carry am

He for stay with EFCC, if he know

This is likely to be true and I sincerely thank you for the point. You see, if we made a little effort to understand things, all these tribal and religious angles will drop

Muslims in The UK segregate themselves alot and hardly interact with non- Muslims. Very unlike black people

The devils hate Britain, hate the West and hate the very freedoms that they enjoy in Britain. They're just there for a free lunch while making strenuous effort to contribute their quota in out-birthing the indigenous people so that the time they would ultimately deliver Britain to the Islamic Caliphate would be ever closer. And what does Britain do? They ask them to just speak English. These people can't believe their luck! They must see Westerners as fools. I'm sorry for Britain. As of 5,6 years ago when I was there, the number one name of a newborn child not indigenous British was MOHAMMED. THE (ARAB)MUSLIMS ARE COMING!

Close-minded people, addicted to "na like this dem dey do am". There is no universal law in this life. Most of you are born followers and in the world of followers, ppl are made to obey and follow, not knowin all those "styles" were created by other humans who we could call born leaders. Lemme tell you one anecdote: you know Malcolm X? None of us will ever be a great man as Malcolm X. He popped the question to his woman via phone and she jumped with a quick "yes". The yes was so fast that Malcolm had to ask her if she understood what he asked. There was no social media or the internet back then. People may never understand what I always mean or how the world really is because - simply - they were born to follow. As my camp commandant at NYSC put it in the '90s: "of all the 6 billion people on earth, 5 billion nine hundred and ninety-nine million were born to serve the rest!" Make una continue to kneel down and offer a ring o, abi na so ya papa take marry ya mama abi?

Modify ur comment and remove Cross River please. We have a digital governor who invest in people's brains not stomach. His name is Prof. Ben Ayade

My dear brother, if you don't first invest in someone's stomacj, in vain will you attempt to invest in his brain. I am an "extremist" (by Nigerian standards) in education and my proposal is govt makes primary and secondary school boarding and students who wish so to remain as boarders with full board. This will change the nation in one generation as the evil that parents and society impart in their children will be rooted out. Some of the money can be got from proscribing all these useless universities making our empty "graduates" become lousy incorrigible people. I tried to get attention of our big men/women but they have no idea

In Nigeria, a coountry that has invented nothing, the pressure to be rich is overwhelming and that is what breeds all this. Sorry to play the tribal card but I would certainly be the last person to live in the East. I've followed Nigerian news my whole life and it becomes quite easy to remember an incident,and what part of the country it is associated with. I've often said corruption is not the foundation of our problems as everyone is saying. Corruption is a result of the society's pressure on everyone to be rich or face damnation. We are supposed to be poor: we're not productive, so why do we all want to be rich? So the foundation of our problems is our VALUES. Change our values and we will be a happy, peaceful nation. Not many private jets or outlandish houses and cars; but everyone will be contented and taken care of

That's why they're mostly likely to be lies here. Nigerians seem to love lies. This makes ppl not believe you when you say things. It affects the few who tell the truth. OP might have started this thread so we hear true-life stories, but people will always hijack it to win the "award" for most shocking story.

See "innocent Nigerians" calculating how to do magomago in the small level they presently reside. They would still have mouth to be shouting "leaders". Every Nigerian is responsible for the tragedy that Nigeria is; we HATE the right thing

I made a mistake just now replying that individual called Rossike. My error and I didn't know how to delete. His case is a lost case and I've said I won't be engaging him anymore. To those of you Yoruba jingoists, if Calabar remained the colonial HQ of Nigeria, the West would be just like any other part of backward Nigeria. Maybe tomorrow now Abuja indigenes would say they're the most advanced people in Nigeria, going by that dumb analogy. Before independence, the richest man in Lagos was at one time called Sir Louis Ojukwu. That doesn't sound Yoruba to me. Down with near-apes ethnic warlords; up One Nigeria!

Rossikk:
Op, What about the REST of Lagos, or did it only comprise Carter Bridge? AND PLEASE DON'T SHOW US IKOYI. SHOW US MUSHIN, AJEGUNLE, OSHODI, AMUKOKO, ORILE, AND OTHER PARTS OF LAGOS NEGLECTED BY THE COLONIAL RULERS. DON'T COME HERE TRYING TO DECEIVE US WITH ONE BRIDGE. Today we have nice bridges and flyovers everywhere, even in places like Ilorin and Uyo. AND PEOPLE DRIVE THEIR CARS AND SUVs ON THEM, NOT BICYCLES.

Fact is that the colonial era was a time of mass poverty, deprivation, illiteracy, and near zero infrastructural development. Op, stop trying to paint it as some sort of golden era. IT WAS NOT. Carter Bridge or no Carter Bridge.

Kai. You don't know anything!

I'm sure Nigerians can never establish a link between these kinds of news and the decay and materialism in our society. I'm known to repeat the assertion that corruption is not the root of Nigerian problem - it is only a symptom. The link that can not be established here is the root

Even PhD holder can be a pump attendant. Nigerians don't understand the import of education and certificates and I'm tired of giving unsolicited free lectures. I used to be a kitchen assistant in England with a white oyibo British citizen Bachelors degree holder. GO FIGURE!

What can I say; I'm lost for words. I would have put up a screenshot but I don't want my personal details on here. Ok simple, do you send personal stuff from UK to Nigeria? How much?my brother has a dead camera and an electrical clamp meter he needs to send to me. How can you facilitate?
