The mentality of Nigerians need to change as soon as possible. Buhari has a daunting task ahead of him. Imagine trying to bring change to people who still have cavemen mentality.

hansad:
Most of Nigerians who emigrated to the US come home poor, empty handed and cracked.
Tell. what do Nigerians go to do in the US? Look at sky scrappers?
Studies? Most Nigerians who can afford to pay the high fees in US are Nigerian oil thieves.

You might want to revise your post. There is a difference between being issued a visa and staying over your visa date. That is not emigration. If you stay over your visa date is same as prison in the U.S. You won't be able to do anything or work anywhere legally. Of course in that situation, any individual who makes that choice will return empty handed. (I wonder why anyone would want to come back if they actually emigrated). Those individuals who you've known to come back empty handed went to the states illegally. The best way to describe America; close your eyes and imagine anything you want to be and I guarantee you will achieve it.

Only in Nigeria.

MugabeRobert:
Everyone caught trekking should be shot on sight and survivors should shot again at close range. Absolute nonsense.

Not until I've done my own trekking. I am going to trek from Germany to Nigeria so that idi.ots should stop trekking.

This man will fail. not because I wish it but because Nigerians unconsciously are pushing him towards failure with their unrealistic expectations. so you expect the man to fix more than 50 years of rut in 4 years? Remember, it is easier to destroy than to repair/build. Not only does he have to fix the infrastructural decay, which is easy, he has to try to fix the psychological and societal decay of of its citizens, which is harder. Serves him right though for promising so much. Now that he has screwed the populace and he's on his first cigarette, he has started to gradually and subtly recant some of his promises. I hope Nigerians don't lynch him.

mmsen:
This man is a fool.
Clearly he has forgotten about the Abacha, Babangida and Shagari eras.

Nigerians have selective amnesia.

I'm sure oshiomole was thinking "if ojukwu can do it, so can i". But dem no bug ojukwu like this.

OP look up the definition of SUIT, then come back and post your topic again. "hint"; Google is your friend.

akpanikpe:
Cos they are obbesed, shikenna

You call it obsession, most people will call it manners. I know this for a fact. In the united states army, there is something called the greeting of the day. Make dem born you well pass your Oga no say good morning or good afternoon. You go get counseling statement for disrespect. So, if white man know the value, how come we as africans come de lose the value? Not saying common good morning shows the quality of upbringing. That being said, I am not yoruba but i value that aspect of their culture.

WILSON:
SHUT UP YOU HAVE A WEAK HEART LIKE YOUR BROTHER JOE. YOU NO HEAR SAY THEM KILL PERSON PAPA THIEF HIM MONEY ETC?

IF WE DEAL WITH CRIMINALS LIKE THIS (INCLUDING THOSE WEY DEY STEAL WITH PEN) OR BOKO, WAHALA NO GO DEY FOR 9JA

And this one will be someones wife one day. The guy will probably be thinking "fiiinnnneee girl" not knowing he's marrying a murderous wench.

rottennaija:
And no more response to the "intelligence" one

Jesus!!! If i talk now, dem go say i too know.

vfactor:
Cos modern day people too get sense! And too much sense....hmmmm....well the end justifies whether too much sense is a good thing or not!

You are not far from the truth. The main reason is women in the past were pretty much properties to be owned. It was no different than owning a slave. Communication was not key. Of course in that kind of scenario the marriage would last forever. Since the woman was bound to the man, willingly or otherwise. Since the advent of women rights, women have become more independent and very willful. The average Nigerian man, who is intellectually docile, finds it difficult to subjugate or communicate without using force. The economy does not help either. The husband is supposed to be the traditional bread winner, but that role has diminished considerably over time. In summary; times have changed and the inability of the male/female species to change with it is the root cause divorces.

rottennaija:
I'm not going to say next. But how about this? If you don't know where to channelled your suggestions to, then write your suggestions in a piece of paper, fold it very well, then shove up your anus. I think that will do it

What an eloquent and intellectual response. This guy is killing me with intellect. Someone please help me out.

rottennaija:
You mean the same type of "common sense" they have been using to deceive you and you alone. Mr. Man, look, this is Nigeria and they(you) are the reason why the country is the mockery of the world. If you think you don't like the suggestion, then you better bring up yours and better still, you shut it.

You don't know how pissed off I get when I hear people say "this is Nigeria". It's like saying "we don't do thing normally here" Nigerians love to justify their stupidity and squalor. You need suggestions? I'll give you some. I didn't come up with these though. It is how normal countries go about persecuting criminals.

step1; Gather credible evidence. key word here is credible.

step 2; After evidence gathering, issue arrest warrant.

step 3; Try them in a court of law.

Step 4; if found guilty based on the evidence gathered, throw the full weight of the law at them.

See how simple that was? I know what you are going to say next. You are going to say "this is Nigeria. It's not going to work because we are not normal" So, who's fault or problem is that?

Assumptions, finger pointing and innuendo's is not how the law is enforced in normal societies.

Someone explain to me why Nigeria is still relying heavily on "documents" in this day and age of computer technology?

Buchukwu:
It doesn't baffle me cos this country is a zoo. In other words i think these so called bloggers create random twitter/facebook accounts to writer rubbish any time news/stories are not forthcoming, i take this as a mere fallacy, the writer doesn't even specify the place the so called accident happened, lol. THIS STORY IS FABREGATED JUST TO FILL BLOG PAGES

you are so correct. A growing trend, even on Nairaland. Why it works so well is because most Nairalanders are as dull as a blunt knife.

rottennaija:
You don't need to. You have exposed yourself with your stu.pid rant. Are you scared you or your daddy or your uncle or the person (politician) that is stealing to keep you feeding fat will be asked to return the stolen public funds? It's even a favour we are asking them to return the Looted public funds. Do you know that in some countries, corrupt officials are executed? Stu.pid fellow?

like I said; stu.pid. Instead of the guy to hide in reflection, he responds. Can't even understand a simple message. No one is saying don't go after corrupt politicians, but go after them using common sense.

Can someone define hot for me?

Is this a joke or what?

I actually wondered the same thing. The problem with Nigeria is there are too many stu.pid people everywhere. On the streets, in Govt, everywhere. Ok, it has been established that to govern, you need to pick from the populace an individual to represent the said populace. Here's the problem. When the ratio of st.upid people to the intelligent ones is this high, the chances that you will pick a stu.pid person is also high. That is why Nigeria is so stagnant. What can a stu.pid person achieve? I fear that at this rate, Nigeria will never move past where it is at the moment. Just check Nairaland alone. Stupidity reigns supreme. You can guage a society just from a site like this. Check out yahoo in various countries. It can tell you a lot about the mindset of it's people. Based on Nairaland alone, Nigeria is screwed. Case in point, check out these responses and tell me these aren't ridiculous. As if this is the normal way to generate revenue or persecute criminals to recover stolen funds. Also notice each post started with GREAT. Stu.pid minds think alike.

rottennaija:
Great idea. But the governors that serve under yaradua and Jonathan should return more than a that. Each should return more than 20billion each year. The reason being the increase in allocation during their 8 years stay in power

Elslim:
great. good. on point. forward it to baba abeg

At last, a topic that actually makes sense.

GMB: c'mon Osibanjo, don't be afraid. Shake him. White men don't bite.
Osibanjo: Sir, are you sure? Alright sir.

I know exactly what he's saying. He saying; "the OP is unemployed and at the moment, completely useless at this time. Common, Osinbanjo, help me talk to this guy, so we can get the OP a job. I mean, anyone who can make this a topic must be unemployed".

I think i got it right.

clevvermind:
20yrs old girl is not too big to be punished and beaten black and blue. i can deal with anybody. i understand you sha.

God help Nigerians. A 20 year old is old enough to vote, but not old enough to do what she wants as an adult. And why is every solution about violence in Nigeria? Huh?

BUTCHCASSIDY:
Wow!
I had to laugh at that shiny coin bit though

Have you seen the topics on NL lately. Don't be surprised to see a topic like that soon.

holicalpha:
please, this is nairaland... Home to all Nigerians, we don't care abt your age, we're Here to have fun and we're having it...if you didn't like the thread why bother opening it.?

Which is exactly the point. The topic is always captivating until you open it. And don't let advertisers hear you say seun does not care about the age group of the members of his site.

Seun. I seriously believe you have a problem and you don't even know it yet. Your business is in danger and you have to act fast to save it. Advertisers are watching. Your content is becoming a joke. I get it, when you started out, you needed help to get the ball rolling so as to save cost. That was why you were at the mercy of members to create content. Now that you are standing on both feet squarely on the ground, you need to get a handle of the content you are presenting to your suscribers/members. The rate at which useless/immature/ridiculous topics are being churned out is alarming and you need to do something drastic to change this. You need to start emulating yahoo. Employ a few writers of your own to help in creating captivating topics or thoroughly vet topics that appear on the front page. Haven't you noticed that topics don't last more than 3 to 4 pages? While in the past, the minimum would be twenty. Nigerians generally are dull, so almost anything captivates them, and even a shinny coin stuck in the dirt will amaze most and probably end up on the front page with a caption like this "LOOK AT THIS SHINNY COIN I FOUND TODAY". Back in the day when it was expensive to own a computer and have access to internet, it helped alienate the dull ones, now it's a free for all. 12 year olds are running rampage. What message are you sending to advertisers? "Hey advertiser, your target audience will be people ranging from 12 to 15 year old/imature/dull Nigerians. Our content is dependent on whatever is provided by our members and stories that end up on the front page are vetted by our equally immature/dull/incompetent moderators". Take this as a wake up call.

I am quite impressed with Ben Murray-Bruce's social media sensitisation since he became a Senator Elect.

I can attest to his very simple lifestyle and can also reliably confirm he is extremely wealthy.

I see a new Nigeria in 4 years. Criminals are also getting reformed and willing to serve. It is time for serious business.

I believe!

You are easily impressed because you are a mor.on. I bet you'd be impressed in your ability to get up from bed in the morning. What has his flying first, second, or third class have to do with being a senator?
