The whole team should be disbanded...

i school abroad

n my parents ain't politicians nor have relation to any


that mentality of only the rich school abroad is a facade


life aint rosy for most of us here

nobody milked Nigeria

my parents work for their money


buhari had 1 million naira only n how many cows yet could have 3 kids in the UK


there are farmers who have kids abroad does that mean they r milking Nigeria


when those abroad send dollars home doesn't it help our economy??

You should consider yourself lucky to have had those opportunities. If you think it wasn't easy abroad, you need to visit lecture & residence halls of tertiary schools in Nigeria.

Did you seriously mean that children of the poor can school abroad? May be you are referring to those old times when we had Company/government scholarships. You have to be very comfortable to even dream of attending private universities in Nigeria talk less of travelling abroad.
I hope we are talking about the same Nigeria.

And on that of Gen Buhari sending his children to universities in UK, I have no comments...I won't want to derail the thread.

kjhova:
To me, the fact that a policy is unsustenable on the long run does not mean it is not needed near term. Also, the talk of government needing to stimulate the economy still depend largely on if the government itself has funds to embark on such exercise.

The dude's write up is thoughtful but I feel he is overtly negative and proferred no alternate idea on way forward.

I support some actions of this government even though it might be very unpopular, but the hopes of reviving the economy solely lies on the government in this case that investor confidence is missing. Government need to look for money to spend in the real sectors of the economy.
We need to kick start the engine of our economy before we begin to think of moving into any of the forward gears...

youngsahito:
we need to produce those raw material in Nigeria so as to discourage importation.the only way to have made in naija goods

I agree with you, but it will take some time before this can come into the mainstream, what can we do before then?

mykelmeezy:
so stfu with the useless hypocrisy against school fees

I think you would still had made sense without the quoted.

No i don't have kids schooling abroad, and Yes, I will love to send my kids to schools abroad for the same reasons you mentioned.
But come to think about it, what percentage of Nigerian students school abroad? Obviously the children of the rich, a larger percentage of the parents of these kids have milked Nigeria dry and made the educational sector useless for the children of average Nigerians. And you are still happy we will be subsidizing them at the expense of other Nigerians who have not been paid salaries for up to six or more months.

We have become an alternative seeking people, and we want to cling to our fake lifestyles at the expense of the greater majority.

@OP, God bless you for this summary of my thoughts. I'm in agreement with you 100% except where you suggested that speculators should buy dollar for keeps.

Nigerians are known for early celebrations and in this Era where you can easily be labeled a wailer, fewer people are saying it exactly the way it is.

I don't think the policy is sustainable in the long run and the biggest question as was echoed by you is why is this dollar going to pta/bta and school fees? Medical is a bit understandable.

The poltical class is still subsidizing the rich at the expense of the poor. If we have dollar supply from renewed crude oil sales...we should be giving same to manufacturers to buy raw materials and machinery. The government needs to stimulate the economy as soon as possible...before it becomes a little too late...

REIIGN:
Lienus Mba.

Lienus Muhammed...

@ OP, are you a student in the same English depatment?

sultaan:
Next you roll just rub some oil and salt on your body so your intentions are clear .

There is only one way that trip is going to end and it is not good

When I said that's how we roll...I mean that's how most of those buses and trucks operate...

Not necessarily that I move around in them,
Maybe no need for your advise of oil and salt...

Very dangerous if you ask me...

But that's how we roll here...

Dreamwaker:
It doesn't work anymore. I bank with GTB and tried using my card to pay for Nigerian visa and it was declined.

It still works...I made a payment of about 11usd to Aliexpress some 3 or 4 days back.

You might be attempting to pay greater than the daily or monthly limit.

Dreamwaker:
Lies, Nigerian debit cards do not work overseas for now.

GTB works...but I suppose the monthly limit is still 100usd.

Online market places like Aliexpress do not verify your pin before paying out...too bad if you ask me.

@OP, on going open another account not linked to any atm to keep your money otherwise keep it in a fix deposit account.

You play football and you could be earning 300k pounds per week....

You sing ski borobo skibo and you could be earning 5 million per show...

But after 5 years in the university, an employer will be feeling like a king paying 20k per month...

I know those who invented education can not make heaven...

Nothing wrong...but how about some respect for other people's way of life?

SalamRushdie:
As far as I am concerned Buhari is the one spreading rumours of his own death...All he needed to have done all this while is just release a short video to shut the gossips up

I hold no brief for the presidency...and in fact I am appalled by the turn the economy has taken under the present administration...

But....it is equally absurd for someone to sit in the corner of his room and speculate that the president is dead without any prove whatsoever...

He who alleges must prove....it is a ridicule on the office of the president of Nigeria to respond to a baseless death rumor.

Those peddling these rumors should first share pictures of the president on the operating table or better still his dead body.

ANIEXTY:
Ok Thanks !

But what if it's not a mistake ?

If it wasn't a mistake?
I guess an angel must have made the payment then...

A call from your bank will soon wake you up from dreamland

Smiles...

Hope the name didn't sound like dasuki?

I'll suggest you return the money into your account. You will be a little more tempted to spend the cash with you.

Hopefully...the person who mistakenly sent it you will complain to his bank with the next few days...

I used to think our leaders were only disconnected from the citizens...

But I found out that are also shamelessly wicked...

Fair point....sometimes I wonder why we want our government to fail...and we are always at the receiving end.

I can say I'm voting for or against a particular candidate...but I'm never going to wish that the person there fail.

Sadly...it's now FAILBUHARI....

He has 2 years to still rewrite some parts of the wrongs...

Is anyone still dragging this with the constituted authority?

abasumike12345:
It is u who see this as a mere threat, during the election, militia's were ready to kill if their oga is not declared the winner. They used bh to their own advantage, so why do you think they wont try stupid stuff. If I were you, I'd just get ready for the inevitable.

I found out at the point of preparation...that seeking peace is better for war...

You will see what I'm saying if you try to make a list of the people you have prepare to help incase there is a full blown anarchy...

buchilino:
BROS DIS HATRED EXISTED IN D 60s, IT DIDN'T START 2DAY. SOMEONE WAS BRUTALITY MURDERED IN KANO N FCT, D KILLERS WERE RELEASED WITHOUT ANY TRIAL. IN 2009 INNOCENT YOUTH CORPERS WERE BRUTALITY MURDERED IN D NORTH TILL 2DAY, NOBODY WAS CHARGED 4 DOSE CRIMES, DO I TALK ABOUT D ONES DAT HAPPENED IN D 80s N 90s UNDER IBB N ABACHA REGIMES. D LIST IS ENDLESS. INJUSTICE HAD BEEN PREVAILING IN NIGERIA OVER D YEARS, DATS Y HATRED HAS BEEN EXISTING, N NOT RECENT INCITEMENTS.

I agree this started a very long time ago... but how do we move from here...go into full blown war?

War has never solved any problem.

Kondomatic:
Is it a Nigerian youth that said that monkeys and baboons will be soaked in the blood?


Guy, leave the youths alone

Not exactly...and this is not about any tribe or religion....

If we want peace, we sow peace...when we sow tribalism and fan the embers of war...it will come back to hit us all...not one of us will be left unaffected...

NgcoboP:
my friend shut up and learn how to handle a weapon

I will recommend you read the latest post of Charlie boy on the agitation for biafra.

You can comfortably sit behind a cheap phone and ask someone you know nothing about to shut up...

You guys think war is like a joke? Come back here when you learn how to handle a weapon yourself...

IPOB123london:
my friend dont come to nl to write none sense

for a start who are Nigerians

why can afonjas live up to the truth bikonu

go to face book and read the average mind of a boko harem northerners then u know

hss

This is the exact type of response I was talking about....

You just called me ajonfa simply because my views are different from yours...
Even if you come back to call me worse names....it won't more me an inch...it's still a faceless forum....

But the truth remains....whatever you sow you will reap.

This is the result of the hatred that the nigerian youths have sown over the years...

Many people come on faceless forums like nairaland to stir up hatred and incite violence against other religions and tribe.

I hope the posts up there are empty bluffs from misguided youths...

It's not only about the scores....

You need to analyse the competive nature of the league.

There are no big or small teams in the league...you can hardly separate the teams in terms of quality...

Asking for an away win might be asking too much from a bunch of players who might have travelled for upwards of 7 to 8hrs on the Nigerian road.

This is however not to say that the league has to do more to raise the standard and quality of play and administration.
