ogaemma: Cape Verdians are allergic to NIGERIANS. They see every Nigeria person as a drug trafficker and a internet fraudster. Do your fact check before traveling to some certain isolated countries. Many do not like NIGERIANS. Do not blame them. Blame those who spoilt the name and image of Nigeria in the Global space. Wishing they arrive Nigeria safe.
True!
Even if it's not their country, once you identify as Nigerian, there is this sort of discomfort other Africans feel
ricson11: Days after Obi Cubana's spectacular 50th birthday bash, the Dein of Agbor, His Royal Majesty Keagborekuzi I, visited the businessman at his Abuja home on Tuesday night
Abuja! Obi Cubana could have had his brother in the National Assembly now, but he didn't support Peter Obi during last election. This made his brother, despite having his State's ruling party's ticket (APGA), to lose the national assembly election (which was held same day with the presidential election)
BeforeJuly: I wholeheartedly believe in the power of indoctrination—when done right, it shapes habits that last a lifetime. Take, for example, the Keep Lagos Clean campaign launched by Governor Fashola in 2008. That initiative left such a deep impression on me that, to this day, I find it nearly impossible to litter. No matter how small the trash in my hand, I hold onto it until I find a bin—whether outside or at home. On rare occasions, I dispose of biodegradable waste like paper or edibles I snack on in gutters, but never plastic or anything non-degradable.
Now to the point of this rant: Why are Nigerians so frustratingly careless when it comes to waste disposal? It baffles me daily. I watch people wind down their car windows to fling entire plastic bottles onto the streets, gutters, and sidewalks without a second thought. Every time I step outside, I witness this behavior over and over again—so normalized that no one even bats an eye. It’s not just uneducated people doing this; even well-dressed, seemingly refined young men and women casually toss trash out of moving danfos, BRT's and private cars.
And then there’s the excuse I hear all the time: “Well, the government hasn’t provided enough public bins.” Fair enough, but how hard is it to hold onto a piece of trash for a few extra minutes until you find a bin? I’ve done this a million times—it’s inconvenient sometimes, sure, but it’s not impossible. It all boils down to discipline and respect for the environment you live in.
But here’s the thing—even those who do throw their trash in bins still somehow manage to do it wrong. Have you ever walked past a public dustbin and seen trash scattered all around it? Some people don’t even bother to push their waste inside; they just dump it near the bin, as if the ground around it is an extension of the bin itself. And when the bin gets full, what happens? They keep stacking garbage on top like it’s a balancing game, until the wind or rain scatters it everywhere again.
How many people actually think, "This bin is full, let me look for another one” or “Let me bring out a garbage bag to contain the overflow”? Almost nobody. Because as long as they can say, “Well, I threw my trash in the right place”, they feel no responsibility for the mess.
And that’s the deeper issue—too many Nigerians live with a bare minimum mentality. We only do the absolute least required to feel good about ourselves, never going an inch beyond that. We blame the government for everything, yet we refuse to make the smallest effort to improve our own surroundings.
Have you ever noticed how quickly Nigerians will transform their own personal space into something clean and presentable? Their houses, their cars, their offices—immaculate. But once they step outside, they suddenly lose all sense of responsibility. “It’s not my business,” “It’s not my property,” “Government should fix it.” Well this is one of the reasons why our streets are filthy, why our public spaces are decaying, and why, despite all the potential in this country, we still live in dysfunction.
The way we dispose of our waste is a direct reflection of who we are as individuals and, collectively, as a society. Compare Nigeria—where littering is second nature—to countries where people make a conscious effort to dispose of waste properly. The difference is stark. Nigeria is already difficult to live in; must we add filth to the misery? Imagine how much more bearable life here would be if our streets weren’t drowning in garbage.
If you’re guilty of careless littering, I urge you to make a conscious effort to change. Start by holding onto your trash until you find a bin. If a bin is full, don’t just dump your waste on top—find another bin or secure the trash properly. If you see overflowing garbage, take the initiative to add a bag or encourage others to dispose of their waste properly. These little things matter.
Once you practice this consistently, it becomes second nature. Small actions like this ripple into something bigger. Let’s do better. Abeg.
ufotunang: ..and Tinubu buys and eats foreign rice and they are seizing foreign rice from the common man ..but do not seize the ones Tinubu buys..it's a pity
AndroBlaze: Rufai is simply a morally bankrupt idiot... to think all his compromised colleagues agreed the money needs to be returned and he still has the audacity to keep saying nonsense.
This matter is so black and white that it is embarrassing.
If the money should be returned, NBA should make a statement agreeing to return the money to a duly elected governor. That's what I'd expect. That way, Ibas will be silenced.
On another note, this is how NBA Presidents dey cash out o. 300million , not including other donations from private individuals and companies
[quote author= post=135013567]Information reaching our Correspondent Desk has it that the suspected trigger-happy officer of the Agụnechemba security outfit, who allegedly shot dead a female road user in Nnewi, Anambra State, has been identified and arrested.
Recall that we had earlier reported how a woman, simply identified as Chiamaka Okeke, was allegedly gunned down along the Ibeto Junction Nnewi on Tuesday by a yet-to-be-identified officer the Operation Udo Ga-Achị (popularly known as Agụnechemba) who was firing gunshots sporadically in attempt to clear a traffic jam at the junction so that their security patrol vehicle could pass.
Reacting to the unfortunate incident, the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, sued for calm and further revealed that the Command was already in contact with the relevant security outfit to identify the suspect and ensure that justice is served.
The CP, through a statement issued to newsmen on Wednesday by the Police Public Relations of the State, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, described the incident as regrettable, while also reaffirming that investigations are currently ongoing, assuring that further developments would be communicated.
Latest reports from sources around the area, however, revealed that the suspected trigger-happy officer has been identified as Chinedu Okonkwo.
The sources revealed that the 36-year-old suspect, who is currently under detention, said he hails from Ezza in Ebonyi State, and added that he recently joined the Agụnechemba.
However, when contacted by this reporter, the Police Spokesman, SP Ikenga, could not confirm reports, adding that there is no such information before him.
“There is no such report before me,” he simply replied.
Acekidc4: The so called yeyebrities are also involved in the scam from the beginning because they know that the average Nigerian is gullible and greedy💯
Let them mention all those who promoted this scam?
Another scam is all these 'use my promo code... and get 100% on your ....' talks used by content creators
Barteze: The cybercrime in this case does not involve money it's a case of relationship gone bad and instead of her moving on with her life she and her friends decided to spread falsehood about the man on their social media platforms thereby causing the man embarrassment and emotional damages.
It will be shocking if true. The money her father is making should be satisfying for her
ponishah: Did you read the post? Tell somebody to read her offences and explain to you Na una dey start dangerous rumour.
Have received many mentions like this. Unfortunately, people like this one who keep mentioning me may not know that sometimes people just catch fun here. Did I read the post before commenting, no. Why? Because I wanted to 'GRAB' FTC position , which I would have if not for cenaman and Sultanofpuna .
If you or any of those who mentioned me are pained, then go HUG transformer.
Though the post could have easily been edited, I'd leave it as it is, so those who are pained continue gnashing in their frustration.
For those who threw insults, go home and insult you father/mother.
PS: the person I quoted did not throw insult, and his mention was only used as reference.
