That's the way opposition think. Once they are not in power, they pray for coup. How has the countries with military government in Burkina Faso and Mali doing? Are they better off economically? Is there a path to progress? Most of the opposition parties crying now, if they were to be in power, would they pray for military takeover of their govt?

People are actually their own nemesis. Human underdevelopment is Africa's curse. All those saying coup is the way out lack understanding

At times it is okay if done with all sincerity of purpose to sanitize and hand over but hell no, it is simply an autocratic version of our useless democracy

rockyh:
what decree can be worse than end sars event. Democracy is better but with the reality of things happening, military seems better

Experience it first. Nothing is a roller coaster

rockyh:
have you compared the current government and any military government in Nigeria apart from President Buhari's government. A democratic government came into power and the country seems like they are mourning but a military take over and see how the citizens are celebrating.I can boldly tell you if a military hand over happens in Nigeria,there will be massive celebration 🍾

I am sure you are quite young and knows nothing about military take over. It is still the same corruption personified and about reckless looting. Despite that things where cheap in Libya under Gaddafi, how developed is Libya. Throughout the military rule in Nigeria, we only retrogressed as a nation. Watch all other military ruling countries in Africa have they made any significant change.

Don't worry, you will understand what a decree is soon

christejames:
The people are happy but some useless and unfortunate leaders of regional blocks like ECOWAS and AU will kick against this coup.

The people of the black race have awoken, just like the Arab Spring of almost a decade ago. More military takeover is expected... The last ignoble, infamous election in Nigeria 🇳🇬 that witnessed a 'coup de democracy' gave the impetus and rise for all these military takeover.


Many other countries and even Nigerians are watching the Tribunal, and the verdict could finally nail the coffin ⚰ of democracy in Africa.


#AllEyesOntheJudiciary!

My friend, there is no awakening anywhere, if there is they will not celebrate coup but take to the streets to fight against injustice. But they cannot because they themselves are dimwits and cuts corners. Military rule is not a solution. A good example is Nigeria. The reaso behind Nigeria's first coup was corruption, and this soldiers are those that looted Nigeria to where it is now. Spoilt a lot of things. Took us from Regional system to a bastardized presidential system and started to create states indiscriminately.

Shoodboi:
I once worked as an attendant at a filling station. What this man is saying is impossible...

While there's usually fuel in the hose, that fuel is not your fuel. The mouth of the hose (the part that enters your car) has a small machine that calculates how much fuel is sold. The meter (the screen that calculates the price and liters sold) begins counting the moment fuel leaves the mouth of the hose and goes into your car. Not when fuel enters the hose.

In this case, this filling station appears to be out of fuel and are trying to pump out whatever remains in the underground tanks and hose into the keg. And you can see that they can't even fill a small keg.

With that said, I should add that filling stations can't sell air either. Instead, what they do is that they adjust their meter to reduce the amount of fuel sold. So, they can adjust the meter to sell 0.8 liters for every one liter displayed on the meter.

And this scam is never performed by the attendants because they do not have access to the configuration of the machine. Only the manager (sometimes with the instructions of the filling station owner) can do it.

The highest an attendant can do is to sell less fuel than you request, say sell 1000 naira fuel when you ask for 2000 naira, but you can quickly catch this scam by looking at the meter and ensuring the price and amount begin at 0 and reads up to whatever price or liter you ask for.

As for the readjustment done by the managers and filling station owner, the only way to catch them is to buy it in jerrycan. But once you see your fuel is not up to what you requested, confront the manager (not the attendant) and threaten to report them to DPR.

If the manager is doing it without the knowledge of the filling station owner, there's a high likelihood he'll give you some fuel to calm you down🤣🤣🤣 If he's doing it with the knowledge of the owner, he'll likely offer you a refund.

You know we have a lot of illiterates in Nigeria. Same thing I explained to someone. The worst are those with BSc, Masters and PHds and yet yet dim wits

Pierocash:
This is to tell you how African citizens are fast embracing military juntas who they once detest, but now accepting them back. Because he that is down fears no fall. No military regime can be worse than what we currently have as civilian governments.

The first true attribute of democracy is the ability to elect leaders of our choice, but no, they rig elections, unleash thugs on people they perceive not as their supporters, beat up electorates, snatch ballot boxes even with the help of security agents, write results and announce it. And expect you to accept that as democracy , and tell you it is better than military government. If this is what they call democracy, sane African societies are telling them they will rather accept military government.

If the judiciary does not restore confidence , I am afraid for Nigeria, the whole world may soon read same story on headlines of various media outlets just like Mali, Guinea, Niger, and now Gabon , even though we do not wish for such

It will always be so when the people are passive and less ambitious. When the citizens lack unity.
Military rule makes no difference. Only dim wits will celebrate takeover because living condition will still not improve, rather they will also steal with reckless abandonment. Let the people themselve develop intrinsic life values and things will change.

Let me tell you. Give or take, we feel more human under under people rule than military.

Truth is better. A lot of people are actually employed and quite a number are underemployed.

turmacs:
Nonsense....If their father remained in Nigeria and invested his money in business here, while he only went there for vacation, as some idiots here would say, heaven knows these kids would not have achieved half of their potential.. If you have money to jakpa from this country and you don't, may God punish you and i pray that that thing you're looking for, you finally see it.

Can you see why you are not progressing in Life. Such a bitter heart. There are many family who grew up in Nigeria here and made it well in life. It is everyone's choice to do what they feel like doing instead of cursing your generation. Of course someone like you will only be a waste in a country like the UK because natuarly you lack content and you are more empty than a trash.

Just as there are many family in the Uk who explored opportunities and rose, so also there are many who couldn't get their feets there and this is also applicable to Nigeria.

Get a life

Which brothers? Paychophants.

Oduok:
Sending kids to holiday lessons makes no sense.

Most of you will make your kids go to school till they become useless. You took them to school at age 3 and abandon them there. During long vacation you still send them to school. To do what?

Can't you spend time to bond with your kids? What exactly are they going to achieve in school during vacation? Vacation lesson only favour school owners, not you. Allow kids rest for God's sake.

If you should engage kids during long vacation then teach them skills. Enrol your kids in centres that they can learn practical computer usage, coding, programming, painting and decoration, catering, musical instruments. Let them learn martial art, how to shot guns, how to wrestle. Teach them something beyond pure academics.

If a school should organize long vacation class then it should gear towards extra curricula activities - debate, modelling, music concert, science fair, mini project. How would you call kids back to school during holiday to learn Math, English, Chemistry, Social studies, accounting, by same teachers that taught them during school period. What is the difference? If these teachers knew what to teach why didn't they do it during normal school session.

Education is beyond memorizing facts. Give your kids opportunity to develop and be better prepare for life.

I agree. But few hours could be created to focus on the weak subject before resumption

SmartPolician:
He doesn't have to be; he's only being honest.

Black people are terrible humans.

Sometimes, I wonder if it's actually God that created black people.

Black people are not terrible humans, dimwit. They are just yet to understand basics of living in their large numbers. Quite a number has evoluted but not finding themselves in political leadership positions to make a change

abhosts:
Lol. If you like, give black Africans all the money in the US federal reserve, they would return to beg for loans after a few years. Rest assured that all that wealth would be squandered and looted in record time.

The British colonized Canada, USA, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong. Why is is only blacks that are still crying about colonization several decades after independence?

Instead of them to be responsible for themselves, they keep stealing away their future and doing japa extraordinary

They shop firstly start building a good Station office and not rabbit houses.

What has happened to all the complaints medium they have been creating

christejames:
Tinubu and his ECOWAS propaganda


If they are serious about invading Niger 🇳🇪 then should have started so a long time ago, all these back and forth meetings to agree or disagree about invading a 'backwater' country just proves that the govt of Tinubu and ECOWAS are just absolute inefficient ...

Your thinking

They should pause PIT for a year for Civil servants in Ministries

Sirchiboy:
Na God dey sustain me as a married lady 😆.
Not easy to perform the work of a wife and husband at all times 😆

What is the work of the husband you are performing?

I speed, I do not over speed. Slugishness and directionless driving, road exit from a distance lane, and reliance on spirituality when you need to act is as worst as overspeeding.

So Religion is now the new tribe. We are not serious as a race. We abandon the basics of living and start chasing frivolities—a lazy set of individuals.

saphiere:
Nigerian men have turned relationship to sex-satisfying scheme.
They go into relationship with the intend to have sex.
The most annoying part is the rape part.

What is Nigerian me. Was that why your father natri3d your mother. Morever have the understanding that sex is a vital task in marriage and stop fighting it. You people will fight it when you are young, when you are now getying holder, Oga go say he no strong again and that is when you all will want it.
Understand the chenistry early and enjoy yourself.

And stop getting into relationship to be a girlfriend.

Some ladies do not like their pant linen showing which gives them smooth shaking as well

Na lie. They are looking for cheap glory

Darlingme:
When there's hunger in the house. What is he overseeing?

Read well. Everyone must work.

Darlingme:
Pls, it's a serious issue here. Men are wired to be in charge. That's how God made it. When you reverse it, it's against God's original plan and it doesn't always go well.

Be in charge does not mean the only financial provider. He is just the overseer

Jewessgratitud3:
Girls are naturally meant to squat before now.. men are the ones who should stand on their feet.

This is why most of you girls are lazy and see relationship as poverty alleviation program. Define your future yourself. Everyone must earn. The earnings is not what gave the man the leadership but by creation and appointment by God

Taylor90:
Tinubu not ECOWAS

He should stop hiding under ECOWAS umbrella to issue threats while bandits are rehashing with human lives in Nigeria even till this moment

You leave bandits and Boko haram you suppose fight go dey fight Niger wey no concern you

Tinubu person wey him house dey on fire no dey chase rat

Misplaced priority

Tinubu is doing all these so that America will forgive his drug case

Dim wit

nairalanda1:
Preparation for the future

Before you blast the university...consider it that the university is preparing you for the future.

Most employers have a dress code. The more prestigous the job, the more refined the dress code. So, before we shout abuse at the university...remember that in the real world, there is a dress code.

Even if you are working in a factory, they would tell you to wear an ugly baggy uniform that is not fashionable. It looks ugly, but it is also meant to protect you from the machinery. (A sensible factory, not Oga Linus' or Ade's Furniture workshop..lol).

I used to patronise a bank when I was a student. Standard trust bank (now part of UBA ). And one thing I noticed about the bank tellers and workers was that all of them were observing a dress code. Nothing like 'baggy trousers, micro mini skirts, etc...proper coprporate clothing. When they were ';casual' they wore shirts with the bank's logo. If not that I was not willing to be a banker, I would have joined up as soon as I graduated..lol.

Don't complain. They are preparing you for the real world tomorrow...where an employer would make you dress very conservatively, and you can't complain because the salary at the end of the month is 450000 naira. Plus perks.

Only men have dress code in those organizations. Visit banks and see how seductive their female employees dress

RuggedBiafran:
Every Body knows that all the Noise was based on COWARDICE.

Isnt it ironic that after Peter Obi preached dialogue, that is when these idiots in ASO ROCK, re-engaged on that cowardly war drums?

Are these RULING mizcreants making decisions on what PO says??

There is a pattern here ooo!!!

Whatever PO says concerning the economy ..or even other events , agbado will implement it sharp sharp!!

It means that they know the dunce in ASO ROCK is just basically empty.

Anyway ..what ABACHA SAID..IBB also SAID.

Yoruba na Coward...FACTS.

Your mumu no get twin. Keep living in delusion

Fact. Enlightened individuals

IamKizzbrown10:
Many people have happy, fulfilling, healthy
romantic relationships without having sex
with their partners.

It ultimately depends on
your personal beliefs, physical desires, and
the nature of your relationship.

There are many reasons why people don’t want to, or don’t, have sex. However, this doesn’tmean that the relationship will be unhealthy.

And it certainly isn’t a sign that your partner
doesn’t love or value you!

This is my humble opinion though, tell us what you think nairalanders?

Yes in marriage but no consideration whatsoever outside marriage.

Primitive people

Usmanovic95:
Nigerians lack maintenance culture.We take proper care and maintenance of our private asset than we do on public asset.

This case is not about maintenance but abandonment due to stupid politics

Taylor90:
Nigeria will never be great till we match to the pooling unit without tribalism and religion

Make una dey play

Not possible because there are much of primitive individuals across the board
