Politics › Re: Patriotism: How Patriotic Are You? by budaatum: 7:46pm On Mar 16, 2021*

How patriotic am I? Much less than I use to be, I must admit.

I too wondered why Nigeria was the way it was from when I first stepped foot on Nigeria soil. I'd buy the Daily Times (10kobo in my day, and a discount if I paid the vendor for the week) with interest in this country I found myself, wondering with my dad if it would ever improve. A messiah is needed, we both agreed, and so I hoped just to get out and go back where I came from.

I rejoiced when Idiagbon made everyone queue only for my joy to be shattered when Muritala got killed. And then Obasanjo handed the nation over to us democratically and we danced in the streets, only for the Shagari regime to embark on eating up as much as the national cake as they could consume, and it went further downhill from thereon. I mean, who could have imagined the super looting under Babangida and Abacha, and the looting on steroids under GEJ.

I went back to where I came from under Babangida and did not return home for many years then patriotism got me again and I did come home, but what I discovered was we Nigerians were our own enemies with corrupt ideologies to justify ourselves. For what can one make of a people who say everyone is a thief just so they can justify their own stealing, but ask them if their father is a thief, and "hell no, of course not", there own father does not steal, just everyone else's father and sons are the thieves, so they might as well steal too while they can before it's all stolen and nothing is left! And how can a nation develop when everyone is on their knees calling for manna to drop down from heaven instead of tilling the ground with the sweat of their brows?

As I said, much less patriotic these days. I kind of see it as dying for Nigeria, and unless one is a Jesus who would not mind dying to end up judging the quick and the swift on God's right hand side, the lazy fuqs are not worth dying for especially if we refuse to grab our own crosses and make Nigeria the country we want it to be, because buda is not willing to die for irresponsible lazy fuqs who won't even shed a tear once buda is gone!

So, how about a little patriotism instead, like not enough to consume my whole life like it used to, but just enough to care? I mean, it's not like I dont harbour great hopes for my illustrious country Nigeria that is just yet to fulfil its potential.

So join the Nairaland Democratic Party and let us all be the change we'd want to see instead of sacrificing each other!

It says I'm not yelling, but really, I am.

Formal education (especially further qualifications outside a standard degree) is a complete waste of time in this day and age.

Op, you hear? But hopefully you are smarter than the individual quoted above and will realise that the "more education" I said you should buy does not necessarily mean "formal education" or "a standard degree" though I will not exclude them as he does.

You know what? This is actually the most disgusting idea ever, that one must be good for the reward. I'd even go as far as claiming it's unbiblical since even the right hand should not know the left did good!

Imagine a God sitting there counting your goodness just so your wages are not miscalculated as if it is not written that all labourers will be paid the same regardless of the time they began work. No wonder the Pharisee was condemned for the hubris of not collecting tax!

Artisanal and modular refinery is simply the rebranding of illegal refineries. Basically, local man can now set up shop like Dangote.

Good idea if quality is controlled but exploding fuel if not. Remember illegal kerosene of sometimes past?

Trip440:
Growing up I mostly received insults than spank as a form of "correction" when I did something wrong. To the slightest mistake, next I hear is "mumu" alike. Now I feel like those words are catching up with me. Is it really the effect of theirs words to me or not. And how can I break that, can I say "curse"?

You feel like the words are affecting you and you are asking us if the words are affecting you huh

Can you see how the words are making you not believe what you see (feel) with your own eyes?

Well, let me help you.

Please look at yourself very carefully. You will find that you are not a mumu, but they have attempted to destroy you by making you not believe your own eyes and convince you that you are what you are not.

Thankfully, your eyes are opening and you are beginning to see yourself for the amazing person you truly are.

May you develop the strenght to forgive those who tried to destroy you.

Some parents just fuq you up!

Politics › Re: Atiku May Be Disqualified From 2023 Presidential Race, Here’s Why by budaatum: 4:35pm On Mar 16, 2021

I hope Atiku never becomes Nigeria's president. We should be tired of Fulani's ruling us by now!
But this case is silly and stupid and a joke because he can not be any more Nigerian after the following.

Atiku in his argument, submitted before the court that he is a bonafide citizen of Nigeria and eligible to contest the presidency of the country.

He told the court that aside from serving as Vice President of Nigeria from 1999 to 2007, both his parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were born in Nigeria and they lived, died as Nigerians, and were buried in Nigeria.

thank God someone is finally exposing these fraudsters on NL. Zuga is pure scam and is a shit coin. how do we explain a coin that was launched at $42k with an all time high of $53k and all time low of $500. Iwill simply call this g bys doing cuz that's what it is. that bishop should have been arrested for scamming the gullible but they all think they are profiting/making gains. i am very very sure his gullible investors would rather pick 1 ZUGACOIN over 1BITCOIN pure fraud

One good thing about Nairaland is that if you type Sam Zuga into search you'd learn a lot about him.

I'm glad chop life is not your priority because Naija people sabi chop your life with you but will abandon you when dem chop your "equivalent of savings of 130,000usd" finish.

You sound like a sensible person so I will say little. First thing you will do is test the Nigeria waters by going home for like 3 to 6 months to see for yourself before deciding whether to relocate or not, but at just 30 years old, I would suggest you invest that money in increasing your knowledge in Germany by buying yourself more education because that will be the best investment for you at your age. Good luck.
