Orikinla: Yes. I don't know why I have this camaraderie with Nigerian soldiers since my childhood.
Yes, my father was once a soldier, but that was during World War 2.
I even assigned a soldier to look after a girlfriend who is now the most popular female blogger when she was at UNILAG.
So, soldiers just don't disrespect me.

okpara ugo: Does facebook look like a serious site ? People come and expose themselves some girls going half unclad. Some twisting their faces like chimpanzee while snapping with nokia 3310.

BJ4REEL: Op,dem don release u?

Godogwu: See its not impossible for Nigeria. We can afford one even at the moment but Nigeria has a lot more to think about than getting a jumbo jet like the Air Force one for the president. Besides people like you will be the ones to complain that we are getting our priorities misplaced.

Omo_Tier1: 747-8I has high technical capability than A380 FYI, -8I is doomed because ASM is poorer than even B777-3ER, orders well below development cost. What is so spectacular about computers accessing servers based on ground using satellite technology That is exactly what the Airforce One does. If it has military capabilities, then it wouldn't need 4 F-16E escorting her during flight.

Sky-walker:

Patryk_Utulu: NO GREAT NATION HAS EVER BEEN DESTROYED FROM OUTSIDE UNTIL IT HAS DESTROYED ITSELF FROM INSIDE
-By Attorney Patryk Utulu (United States)

Thankfully, the English language has a very limited supply of euphemisms to describe a self-inflicted injury. Nor, mercifully, does it take too long to reveal the vulnerability of a giant on clay feet. Noble Laureate Prof Wole Soyinka had obliquely warned (Nigeria?) in his “The Lion and the Jewel" that it does not take forever to reap the unpleasant rewards of irresponsible actions predicated on the hubris that might is right.

How I wish I was wrong about my predictions that Kidnapping would be offspring of the Advance Fee Fraud (419) epidemic. Forget the titles for a minute. Think functions. The function of both Kidnapping and 419 is the obsession that praised instant wealth (no matter the source) without work, and an acquired national habit that undervalued educational achievement in place of rewarding anyone with money as king of the moment. 419 destroyed a generation of Nigerians who lacked the ability to work for a living, turning the society upside-down as “moneyed” idiots made decisions while the “smart-but-poor” hid themselves in embarrassment. About 8 years ago I started predicting that Nigeria was following a trajectory that would lead to Colombia-type hell. Sadly, that tragic era has begun. Kidnapping is worse than corruption. It is a chemical weapon that corrodes a nation. In an epidemic of kidnapping even family trust is eroded because no one – absolutely no one -- is safe. When kidnapping becomes the norm in a nation both the wealthy (and relatives), Diaspora (and relatives) are fair game for kidnappers. No one escapes the sense of insecurity that kidnapping brings.

As Nigeria descends into this Hell of Kidnapping Epidemic it will follow the sad trajectory (and evolve) as follows:
1. A nation becomes so corrupt that citizens lose faith in the ability of the Nation itself to provide even the barest form of law and order
2. Corruption rises to the level where citizen’s resentment of leadership kleptomania leads to flagrant disregard for anything that signifies "authority."
3. Wealthy citizens retreat behind high walls for protection. Rather than protect their owners however, the high walls and fences merely “point" out those houses as the homes of the hated elites
4. Poverty gets to the point where citizens decide that they will get "what belongs to us" from "those who stole from us."
5. First the elites are kidnapped (businessmen, politicians...then the middle class, and their families. At this point the kidnappers are merely a few desperate people
6. Kidnapping becomes an underground form of "employment" and, here, non-professional criminals start getting involved. More kidnapped victims are killed because non-professional criminals use excessive force to gain leverage
7. Police start developing an attitude of "last authority" for in a kidnapping situation it is the police and NOT the court system that has the last power to either save a victim or stay asleep
8. Police finally gets in the game, form their own kidnapping teams that then pretend to rescue people that the very same police kidnapped in the first place

NIGERIA HAS JUST REACHED LEVEL #8.

9. Next stage, wealthy individuals start paying Police "to preempt kidnapping" (that is, to provide advance protection). This will only work for a short time because once you ride a tiger you dare not get down or it will devour you
10. After that, politicians and business people start paying police to kidnap enemies, business rivals, political opponents, etc. Here, political parties will start kidnapping opponents as a weapon of mass intimidation and kidnapped wives of enemies and opponents will be raped or threatened with rape.
11. Foreign embassies start buying "Kidnapping Insurance" not to protect their workers but simply to buy their freedom when they are kidnapped
12. Foreign Organized Criminals from Italy, Spain, Lebanon, etc will come to Nigeria to help organize the Kidnapping business.
13. Ordinary citizens begin to use kidnapping as a form of power-play and to settle personal grievances
14. Nigerians abroad stop coming home, businesses dry up (how many foreign-owned businesses want to pay Kidnapping Insurance forever?)

BY THE TIME WE GET TO THIS STAGE, NIGRIA, FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES WOULD HAVE CEASED TO BE A "GOVERNED" ENTITY

15. Tribal retaliatory kidnappings/executions becomes the order of the day
16... (It's better to NOT say what the next stage is.....)

MY ADVICE:
Watch your Thoughts for they soon become your Words

SmoothLIFE: You IDIOT... I already said Ghana is not perfect but, it is much better than Nigeria! At least there is no Al Qaeda in Ghana killing innocent people!!!! At least we have an intellectual democracy!

cameronese: Yet the best of Ghanamen shine shoes in Nigeria and hulk PofPof all the streets of Lagos, Ibadan, Onitsha, Calabar etc. All the gate men in Nigeria are Ghana... You really constitute urban deface. Why is it that Ghanaian cant do serious business other than Okada?

rampant lover: A gud nigerian is a DEAD one, God must be really pissed off when he was creating you. Pathetic and blood suckers creatures. Anywhere you go you are not welcome.

honeric01: So which accent represents Nigeria?

Yoruba?
Waffi?
Igbo?
Hausa?
Ijaw?
Bini?
Effik?
Idoma?
Fulani?
Nupe?

Which one exactly?

silly article posted by an ignorant person. (if you aren't ignorant, you wouldn't have posted this).

Nigeria is too diverse to have one particular accent.

gwas: Henceforth, no more unnecessary twisting of my tongue to pronounce one yeye words; I will be pronouncing 'OIL' as 'OYEL', 'VIDEO' as 'FIDEO', 'CHEW' as 'SHEW', 'SHORT' as 'SORT'.

Kajina: What baffles me is that, 4 artistes were billed to perform in the concert, 1 pulled out and 3 performed. And somebody comes to NL with a misleading topic, and posts “ 40,000+ turn out for P-Squre concert in Ghana". What makes you guys assume the crowd were there to see only P-Square? Do you guys know who Sarkodie and Samini are to Ghanaians, and the crowd they draw to their concerts? Guys, stop tickling yourselves, it is not only about P-Square. They were just one of the performers of the night, so chill!
