The Nigeria of today is a function of bad citizens and terrible leaders. When you have horrible citizens, you will always have bad leaders. Why? Because the leaders come from the citizenry. Unless someone can prove to me that the leaders they have in Nigeria somehow came from the moon.

mjbaba:
Focus on the message and not the messenger. Is he not right? Has he not spoken well. Ok he called Cameron a president. An error. But I fully support his stand

What exactly did Cameron say that is a lie?

akanbiaa:
And if those are the few available positions?

Then it is all up to you. You can either reject the position because of their crappy work conditions, or take it and like by their renumerations and policies.

WINTRADER777:
Ok good.But,oga why did you allow all the aforementioned online businesses
in the first place?Are you saying you never knew they were gambling or what?
Now you suddenly woke up to realise this...
It also baffles me how on earth will a learned person like you equate forex
with gambling!An international business with global regulations!
Please,don`t change your mind o,just ban for good so that we can rest and just read normal
news on your forum.
Thank you and God bless

If anyone thinks he makes lots of money from advertising from it and then banned it, then that person needs to have their heads examined. If anything, he is treating nairalanders like children. He might as well come to our houses to tell us how to live our lives. Nigerian mentality at it's finest.

akanbiaa:
Even when it does not folow the laid dowm minimum wage scale? and inhumanity and exploitation?

Don't accept a position there.

neocortex:
Charm my foot!
There are literally hundreds of substances that can make people sleep.

You think the average Nigerian understands that? If you want to explain anything, don't bother using logic in Nigeria. Just say God, curse, witches, wizard, occult and instantly they pay attention. Anything else is a waste of time.

Kineticist:
Some people are in the habit of spewing far fetched news. What has fuel hike got to do with State Govs..

Plenty. When states cannot fend for themselves and the government continues to bail them out. Where do you think the funds are coming from? Nigerians really need to begin to understand the concept of cause and effect. Nigeria did not just become bad overnight. The cause is half a century of terrible citizens and even worse leadership. The effect is what you have as a country today. Blaming Buhari for something that is the fault of every single person in Nigeria is madness.

masseratti:
thank you for doing the right thing,consulting Google is not a bad thing,I read about the Anglo Saxons ,Celts various Germanic tribes as far back as 1998,Google was not available then,now we can talk since you be done the right thing.

What are you talking about? I have told you why it is better to put a nation first before tribes. I have gone further to show you what should be common knowledge. If you had known that Germans were part of today's England then why say they weren't? I get it. You are a Nigerian. The obvious escapes you. "Nuff said.

masseratti:
where did you get all this your history from?English formed a union with who?ok you mean the Anglo Saxons formed a union with the celts and Britons against other Germanic tribes.well your history is very wrong am done.

I had to go to Google to get information I already knew. Pity.

The Anglo-Saxons were a people who inhabited Great Britain from the 5th century. They comprised people from Germanic tribes who migrated to the island from continental Europe, their descendants, and indigenous British groups who adopted some aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and language.
Anglo-Saxons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-SaxonsWikipedia

masseratti:
am very sure you Dont understaunderstand what you wrote up there,the Saxons are a Germanic tribe,just like the angles

Yes. And due to the constant invasion from Germans, the English eventually had to form a union with them to become today's England. You see how incredible it sounds. They don't go about saying "i am German first then English" or vise versa. That is how a Nation is formed. Until you realise you cannot have a Nation within a Nation, you will continue to live in the heaven called Nigeria. I don't even know why i'm trying to educate you. You want a great nation but want to achieve it with caveman rules and mindset. Good luck.

I can't believe i am trying to convince a Nigerian to have a mindset of one Nigeria. If you were chinese i would understand your resistance.

masseratti:
lol at googling,I Dont need to do that post what I wrote up there,there is nothing wrong with googling anyway,am not too proud to learn,we learn everyday fr everyone old, young,male and female,
Back to the topic I believe its straightforward enough for the discerning minds,Germany is a combination of English, Icelandic and Danes? Where did you get that from? Even if u mean Germanic tribes made up this countries you mentioned, you are very wrong go and read please.

Just so you know to England today is a a combination of German and saxons. But this not as important as thinking one nation, instead of multiple allegiances inside a nation. Wake up.

everydayperson:
Alas not for the children of Biafra

He was not the president of Nigeria. It was for the leaders in the east to follow suit if they wanted to. They chose not to.

Nigerian truly deserves the leaders they have. What a country.

masseratti:
not in the mood to provide lectures now,but let me try once am tired I will stop typing.
English is simple and complex at the same time, the words Nation,Country,States all have different meaning but they can be use interchangeable with each other depending on the context,race,ethnicity and tribe cannot be use that way.you can birth a new country today but not a Nation.
There is a reason the USA is called United States,to have a Nation takes eons of years ,Nigeria is made up of many nations not immigrants like the USA same for the UK nations but not immigrants,if no nation makes up the USA then its only natural for them to call themselves Americans 1st then any nation they came from later,the people that made up Nigeria and the Uk were all on the land before the Country was birth,America was a British colony which later metamorphs into USA.

Keep justifying and googling to justify your ignorance. You do realise that Germany of today is a combination of English, danish, and icelandic peoples right. However you want to justify your mentality google will not help you all the way. I wonder what you are trying to build? Your ethnic group or the nation. This local government farm boy mentality needs to stop.

masseratti:
Germany and France are mono ethnic, the Uk is made up of four nations,the Us is a country of immigrants, that's the difference, am Yoruba 1st Nigerian 2nd no offence.

Guy, I would like to attend whatever institution you went to. It's amazing. Where these people come from to form is not in question. In America, you have the Irish, Italian, Chinese etc. To build a Nation they had to put the country first. This simple concept is why they are a Nation. If you can't understand this then . . . . . . Also, with this mentality of yours, even if they carve out a Nation of Yoruba's, you will still find people like you who will say "I am Ijebu first then Yoruba". Make una change una mentality una no go hear.

CSTR6:
There is a fundamental difference between Nigeria and america. It should even be obvious to a dunce.
Even your president has divided the country into two camps and have been known to be ethnically divisive.
Btw, we are africans with a strong sense of ethnicity spanning hundreds of years before the creation of this artificial contraption.

And a dunce would realize this as well; your mentality is the same mentality mo.rons have used to drag the country down for over half a century. Making it sound like your warped mentality started during Buhari's reign is just plain stupidity.

Zoharariel:
This is a quick slap in the face to everyone who doesn't know what respect is. A woman who compares you with her Ex not only belittles you, but also tears you down psychologically instead of building you up.

This is also a clear-cut indication that she will always cheat on you, and as such, dissolution of our marital union would be my utmost priority if I were in your shoes.

Nigerians and violence. You can't win someone's admiration, respect, loyalty, love, etc by brute force. Why are you people so violent?

great664:
That's just the fact!

After 30 yrs of leaving Dodan Barrack, He has no other improvement on self, education, policies, life pattern, decision making, No NGO, nothing....

He was just sitting and eating his loot and Pension and income from his shares...

And they want someone like that to change Millions of Nigerians in 21st century

Smh for those they deceived

I wonder why most Nigerians don't think like you. What a wonderful analysis. The moment he was overthrown Nigeria became the best country in the world. Everything was just wonderful. Good roads, top class education, 24 hours power supply, every single graduate had jobs, crime was non existent, etc. This was up to when he won the election again. Now everything has gone down the tubes.

abeg go chuke nyash for seat....


she is an igbo girl..not yoruba..not hausa..bt an igbo girl....yes!!!!




supposing dem talk say she be thief nw..like all dis yoruba agberos...u no go talk say she be nigerian o..



nw nah good news....u wan come 'nigerianize' d babe..

come sef...



who nigeria epp

And people wonder why Nigeria is going down the tubes. The above comment is one of the reasons. A German will say; I am German first but from Grafenwoehr. An American will say; I am an American first but from Illinois. A Nigerian will tell you; I am Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Ijaw, etc, first but from Nigeria. See the difference. In normal societies the country comes first before where you were born. In Nigeria it is the reverse. I wonder how it's people expect to work together to build a nation? What a country.

kekakuz:
last night was amazing @ a bubbling club in Abuja with my boss. she is tall robust and in her late 20s. I meet her at a social event where we shared contact and she help me get a job in her office. she not only help me get a job but back dated my employment letter and I resumed promoted.
all her kind gestures towards me made me develop a sense of indebtedness to her but have never been able to pay her back except that I make sure she never runs out of data on her phone.
on Thursday she I received a pm from her asking me if I had plans for Friday night. truth be told I don't have anyplans so I told her no. she said she would pick me up later at night.
I knew she needed a companion to one of her many events and don't want her friends to know she is a loner. so I saw it as an opportunity to give back to her

about 4pm as we approach close of business on Friday , a general mail was sent that we would be coming for Saturday duties and default is equal to suspension.

after the mail I felt we probably would not be going out anymore since there is work. she came by my office and drop her car key and told me to pick her and her friends up by 10pm. she picked a drop and left.
at exactly 10:05 I reached her estate and picked her and 2 of her friends as we head to wuse 2.
we went to have dinner and she slipped her ATM in my hand and whispered the code in my ears.

I paid like a boss and we went straight to wine bar not far away. we ordered drinks and she held on to me as if we have been dating for years. she occasionally kiss me on the cheek. I was being careful not to drink too much because am driving and I don't drink much. so I mixed my jack Daniels with coke. thereafter we drove to a club nearby. their blood alcohol was already above the legal limit. the three of them danced like crazy I just stayed calm forming boss in the VIP section. whenever her two friends come close to me, she jumps in the middle like she was jealous. we danced till about two am when I decided its time to go. they were so drunk if not for the help of the security who helped me bring them inside the car, I drove back into the estate and her two friends came down but she was fast asleep. I carried her inside and lay her gently on the bed. she held me and whisper in my ears stay with me tonight. I knew she was drunk and not in her right mind. I tuck her in her bed
spread and kissed her good night and dropped her car key beside her to enable her get to the office in the morning.

I took a drop home and sleep off immediately. I woke up 7:30 and was running late. I quickly prepared for work but got to the office 30min late. everyone was on time except me. I logged into my mail and saw a query from my boss.
at first I felt it was a kind of cover up eye service but she copies disciplinary and regional head in the mail that unroll 10am to reply why I came late and should not be suspended .
I immediately sent her PMs but she replied none. so I replied the query saying I took my sick sister to a vigil for healing and I over slept after the vigil.
she sent another mail instantly that she recommend that I be suspended for a week without pay with immediate effect.

seriously I was confused because I can't believe it was the same person I spent whole lastnight with.
I picked my bag and just went back home wondering if I was dreaming.

There is something seriously wrong with your organization and by the comments on this thread, there is something seriously wrong with Nigerians if you do not see a problem with fraternization. The policy of fraternization exists in a company so that everyone acts professionally on, and off work. If that policy was in place in your company, you would not have the problem you have now. If it were my organization this had happened, your boss would be gone and you would still be on suspension with a letter of reprimand on record and in your file.

Princedapace:
No one said it is illegal though

Then there's no need to complain about it. What you do is not accept a position in the company.

Normal German breakfast. Bread, ham, cheese,tea and an apple. Need I say that the bread you see there is so strong your teeth must be very strong to dig in, tear it off before chewing. And that's the kind of bread they enjoy here.
Its so strong its as if they cast it with cement sef
Now compare this to moin moin and ogi for breakfast, good Lord! The best food on earth was made in Nigeria

You de hospital? Looks like hospital food.

Take for instance MTN that outsourced their customer care service to ISON BPO

What does Mtn stand to gain? Why suffer agents who work under the contract? MTN must have paid ISON BPO for the contract, ISON PBO pay CCR between 35k to 45k per month which is too poor...extremely poor with no bonuses like recharge cards, devices etc. Graduates get to do this job because of the employment situation in the country. CCR work for 9 hours with 5 seconds interval between the last call and the incoming call, can you imagine as agents get to talk for an average of 5 hours pee shift non stop!!!!! Agents are expected to attend to 200 customers per day and agents must raise requests for each call. This is crazy. Agents are not allowed to use their phones and even to use the restroom is forbidin as agents are usually attacked when they make use of the restroom with the new software in the company known as Avaya!!. It is pathetic. Really pathetic. I'm sure when you check the amount of money Mtn must have spent per agent, it must be more than what ISON BPO pays to each CCR! Now, why outsource the service?
Why can't Mtn employ these CCR, pay them above the ridiculous amount the company (ISON BPO) pay these staff?
Why work when you can't use the salary to even maintain a decent home? Why work when salary cant even allow you to start up a family after spending years and money in school?/We are talking about graduates here? Is it that companies like MTN run away from paying workers bonuses? They can still employ these workers and pay them high and avoid bonuses and develop another term for them instead of outsourcing the service to contract companies who exploit these citizens of ours and pay them ridiculous salaries! It is completely unfair. People work from month to month and do nothing with the salary. You can imagine earning between 35k to 45k per month as a graduate in this economy of ours!
When next you call Mtn customer care centre, please empathise with that agent speaking with you because he/she is suffering and not happy. As a CCR, your eyes, ears, back bones etc will suffer badly! They can't use their phone except during break time (30 minutes, 15 minutes and 15 minutes), to use the restroom is almost an evil as you get to be shouted at!!
It is really a pathetic place to work! I still need to understand why companies outsource their services as contract staff get to suffer. This our country have really suffered most of us!

It's a free economy bro. If you want to change it ask your senator to sponsor a bill to stop outsourcing. Until then, MTN is not doing anything illegal. Almost every company around the world does it. It's unfair, I get it, but it is not illegal.

everydayperson:
History has two sides bruv.. depening on if it favors the story-teller

You still haven't said why he was a bad leader. I am not Yoruba but I benefited from him. Not just me but a lot of people in the west.

bigboss80s:
I think Buhari should go easy on those who stole money that was meant for bribing INEC officials for GEJ's reelection since his election was funded by dirty money as well.
The truth is that it is close to impossible to become Nigeria's president without making certain compromises but that doesn't mean that we can't change things.

Which ever way you look at it, Nigerians deserve the condition they are in and the leaders they have. Can you imagine the above comment? "certain compromises". Really. To compromise is not the same as corruption or maybe i don't understand what compromise means anymore. I really, really hail una.

End time ko, beginning time ni.

everydayperson:
Awolowo was a selfish egotistic maniacal vengeful pig

Really? The west is what it is today because of him. He is the reason everyone who grew up there had free education. Obviously you don't know your history. If nothing else I thank him for that.

juman:
The main problem is one nigeria.
One nigeria breeds unserious leadership.

Awolowo loved the common man dearly.
But today we dont have leaders like that.

You know your history.

Qmerit:
Insincere NL would say he's talking to apc alone cause they re lazy to read the full note.

In summary, he said I'm not referring to any govt also he said since 1961 has life, education, workforce, employment good governance etc been better. ??

If you take the time to read through my comments, you will find that I have been saying this from day one. What do i get for it? Insults. Nairalanders are actually saying Nigeria will be great again like it was ever great. Blaming buhari for the situation in the country is ludicrous. All this did not just start today. It is a cummulation of 50 years of bad citizenry and leadership.

MrTruth4real:
U are very right, but our last presidential election was am option of two wrong choice.

You are also right. This is the time for people to wake up to reality. But that won't happen though. All you need to look at are the comments on this forum where some are actually saying they want GEJ back and or Buhari is doing a good job. Nigerians haven't fully learnt their lesson.

The quest for religion has made Nigerians lazy and insane. Instead of looking to themselves to solve the most basic of issues they turn their heads upwards or fall to their knees as the case may be. I believe in God, but i also believe that considering the various interpretation the bible has had over the centuries, a lot of things have been misrepresented and twisted to suit humanity. The worst thing you can do is to dilute information. It corrupts communication. A man refuses to go for medical check up on a regular basis and, or knows that he has an ailment that could be treated in a medical facility. He does nothing and dies because of it and people have the nerve to ask "God, why?". Why indeed. Another one? Nigerians keep asking, "God why do we have leaders like these"? Em, because you all keep voting for the same kind of leaders. I don't think i've ever seen God's registration and voters card. Common sense is not so common.
