Love800:
The guy you quoted is correct.
Why will govt forced individuals into shell to train or to work? Allow shell to do the selection themselves.

This is the corruption we are talking about!

you don't understand what he wrote...

govt wanted sh:ell a foreign company to operate the refineries and they declined because that would mean sh:ell is training its replacements..

adams123:
I understand her stand.. she don't wants to be associated with anything like nepotism. We should leave her alone..UK'S LAW IS FOR EVERYONE UNLIKE OUR COUNTRY THAT'S BLINDED WITH TRIBALISM, RELIGION AND SO ON.
THEY ARE ALL THERE TO SERVE THE NATION AND NOT A SECTION OF A NATION AS APPLICABLE IN OUR COUNTRY

there is no tribalism in Nigeria...

davidif:
Regulations of a sector is one thing but telling me who I should train and who I should hire is another thing. And they wonder why African countries are poor. Geez, I wonder why.

The govt has never told any private business who to hire..

Talkisneeded:
If you listen to Godwin Enakhena,dumnodi okonta,emeka talk about Nigeria league and the influence of the government on the league on radio and tv..you go wan cry....
Sadly it cut across every sector,the only reason why afrobeat is soaring so high is because the individual are the major stakeholders...
We will be fine one day it this country one day




I sell herbs tho

Nigeria won't be fine until it has hundreds of thousands of dollar millionaires or millions of dollar millionaires..

But this cannot happen because the govt keeps devaluing the naira and making the naira lose its value which means Nigerians are losing money...

davidif:
No, what I don't want is govts telling businesses how to run their business. If I bear 100% of the risk then you have no right to tell me how to run my business period.

Govt has to set regulations that ensures businesses are not doing anything illegal. So the govt has to tell people how to run their businesses.

davidif:
Like bro, that statement in itself is just staggering! Like how is that even possible? Like where in the world is a football team state owned? can someone tell me? Can you imagine Bayern Munich being run by their State govt? This is why things don't work in this country because almost every sector is state owned. The fact that most Nigerians still don't understand the role and limitations of govt still blows my mind. Like there are some things that govt should do and there are some things they should stay away from.
Let me give you an example. During the OBJ administration, the govt told Shell to come help them run their refineries but Shell turned them down. They said NO! they don't want to work with the amateurs and the unqualified people the govt and I don't blame Shell for that. Can you imagine working with govt appointees who you didn't hire and who are not qualified? do you know how frustrating that could be? who is going to take the blame when things don't work out? Shell? the govt?
That's the same thing we are dealing with almost every aspect of life in Nigeria. Can you imagine a govt appointee running an oil refinery or a football club? Imagine how horribly run both organizations will be. Nigeria's problem is not only corruption but mismanagement and this one of the examples of mismanagement. Govt needs to learn to stay in there lane for goodness sakes.

It is the company a person works for that trains that person.. they contacted Shell so that Shell will transfer knowledge to Nigerians but S:hell been an exploitative and colonial company did not agree.

Aramco is owned by the Saudi govt..

In Nigeria, the problem is people like you expect people that are not indigenes of the oil rich states to run the oil industry in those states effectively and thats impossible..

Don't expect northerners or Yorubas or whyte people to empower those states..

God1000:
This is hilarious, what does the loudmouthed Trump have to say now, MAGA new way of rigging the election


Meanwhile congratulations in advance to Kamala Harris, I strongly believe she will win

If k:amala wins prepare for w:ar in Nigeria..

descarado:
They need to write it.
I was ofthat same opinion until I found out most of them can't string up common sentence in English and you know what that means?
No job. Even when you are employed,more problem for you, your employer and the public.

They can't communicate especially in health service. Imagine a nurse fi ding it hard to communicate with his patient or any health personnel

Also all other countries do that. What made your country different?

Mindlog:
But not every Nigerian can read, speak nor write well in English language. If you are coming to the UK to study or work, there is nothing wrong in proving your proficiency in the language.

dominique:
Same Nigerians that are always misplacing pronouns, misspelling words and using wrong tenses? The average Nigerian's written English is terrible! Worst is that majority of them claim to be graduates yet can't communicate in proper English to save their lives

Nuzo1:
Go and check well.

Every Chinese that migrated to uk legally in the past 15 years passed TOEFL very well. And so therefore, can write and speak passable English language.

Why is everything seen as discrimination here?

Big lie..

Former Leeds utd coach Marcelo Bielsa could not speak English..

He always had an interpreter..

dkidd:
Exactly... Imagine someone saying most Nigerians don't live past 56 lmao.. maybe his family members don't last long though.

He is anti Nigeria and also anti black people..

N3TRAL:
The bold does not negate the influence of natural selection and "survival of the fittest" as it regards birth rates in pre-colonial Africa.

For instance, we are more prone to sickle cell Anaemia which used to be Obanje, Abiku and other concepts in our languages.

A typical AS dominated family who married other carriers knew they had to marry more wives and give birth to as many children as possible to stand a chance for having successors.

If they were sure that all their children would live, they would have fewer children.

Another angle is the effect of misogyny. A typical father of 15 daughters would not stop procreation until he had a son.

People with sickle cell will live longer in pre-colonial Africa than now due to the fact there were more trees and more natural foods than now. More trees mean access to more oxygen which improves blood flow.

Omenlon:
it's not difficult to spot an idiot. What do you stand to gain in disputing what his people put out there for the public.

He is a whyte man or an agent shocked that black people live greater than 100 years old

N3TRAL:
Life expectancy in Nigeria is about 56 years.

Most Nigerians die before the age of 56.

Nope..

Only Nigerians that have cancer or die in an accident, child birth complications or an illness they are managing die before the age of 56.

N3TRAL:
Lol.

We live longer than those before us. Most of our ancestors couldn't even make it to 25.

It was why people had many children because they definitely expected most to not make it past the age of 2.

An infection that ampicilin could cure wiped out most families.

Thanks to science, we now live better.

People had many children because a persons wealth was determined by the amount of children the person had..

Many people in Nigeria are over 90 years old..

The life expentancy you're quoting was written by Europeans who do everything to ensure black people don't live long so such statistics is expected from them..

Gerrard59:
Congratulations to OP. I am really for you as I know it must have been a huge struggle to pull through.

As for the back-biting, I am not surprised as I have stated here that the older generation in the UK seems to be annoyed or envious (how easy the immigrant routes are these days) of recent migrants. Also, they have this classist mentality that "I have been here before you. So know your place". This is largely mired in poverty as it applies to other migrants from the developing world. Although, a way to counter such is to tighten the immigration system so that only the best and brightest have access to the country. Such as legal immigration to the US and Singapore. Indians in the US are highly respected than their counterparts in Canada.

As for people making it in Nigeria, that is very true. There are people who have very high-paying jobs in Nigeria and live very well (legal money). However, their conditions cannot be used to describe the entire Nigeria. I recall my ex-boss lamenting about Nigeria's politicians, people he praised regularly when he used the roads to his state or somewhere in Kogi. He was shocked at how dangerous the roads were. This is someone who rarely leaves Lagos without flying. This is the same mistake this new set of elites make every day - siddon for Lagos and Abuja then christen everyone in Nigeria as "doing well". To be fair though, I don't expect any less from APC supporters. The reason I don't debate the state of Nigeria with them. Although, I still believe Nigeria holds more entrepreneurial economic opportunities than most countries in Africa aside from South Africa. However, it is important to state that Nigeria goes beyond Lagos and Abuja at least for economic reasons.

The last two years must have been tough for Nigerian students in the UK (especially older ones who are married and with children). As I have stated countless times, should the economy get to pre-2015 levels, MANY Nigerians would gladly return. Many would still return anyway but at a later date. Reading their stories further makes me to be grateful towards the Japanese. I was so pampered and afforded ample financial and economic opportunities here. To be fair though, I had the requisite experience from Nigeria, attended a top university here, worked on the language and I am unmarried with no children. Nevertheless, the Japanese have been so good to me, and I deeply appreciate it.

MT:
My problem with you guys is talking down a country whose passport you hold.

Stop cursing the country. Stop being happy when you see things not working.

At the end of the day, you can never be accepted where you are eyeing.

Do constructive criticism.

Either you make or not, it is not my problem. Respect your own country of birth. Stop acting like a bastard

Countries tailor their economy to work for the benefit of its indigenes or at worse its citizens..

Nigeria is a location on the world map named by the B:ritish and it consists of at least 7 different countries with different economies in other words there is no ethnicity known as Nigerians and the SW economy is different from the NW economy which is different from the SE economy which is also different from the SS economy..

All 36 states and the FCT are different economies..

Do not use Lagos or the SW economy to judge the lives and economic situation of people living in the NW or SE or SS or anywhere else outside SW Nigeria.

SW is built and tailored to work for the benefit of Yoruba people.

SS is tailored to work for the benefit of Binis, ijaws, igbos, Efik and other indigenes.

SE is tailored to work for the benefit of igbos.
e.t.c..

so when you say people are " Making it in Nigeria ".. be specific about the state or region in Nigeria where they are " making it " because it is not the reality of all Nigerians..

BOBAN2710:
You're not making sense,tribal bigots.

So if non-yorubas start killing Yorubas by drugging them first and hanging Yorubas on trees the Yoruba police will ignorantly rule the death as suicide..

if someone gives you a drink that the someone has already put sleeping drug in the drink and you don't know that the drink has been drugged then you drink it and fall asleep then the someone ties a rope around your neck and hangs you on a tree to kill you then the police comes and rules your death as a suicide when if they had done an autopsy it would show that it wasn't a suicide .

No autopsy to prove he was not drugged then hung to die.

Yoruba police officers and law enforcements are very dull..

Will there be violent marks if he was drugged to sleep off then tied to a tree?

Ojagun:
For goodness sake,black people rely on your fvvcking selves and stop hoping/waiting for someone else to save/help you

Quit being entitled.Entitlement goes hand-in-hand with ungratefulness.

Life is a fvvcking competition.No one owns you shit

Life is not a competition..

Ants don't compete with other ants.

Pigeons don't compete with pigeons.

Dolphins don't compete with dolphins.
e.t.c

Berankis:

I just wanted to comment @OP that this helping/cooperation thing is cultural. If it's not inherent in your culture as a people, it is not there! It can't change. Even within a family, we compete against each other to show who is doing better than the other, instead of help one another. That's within a family o... Let alone strangers you don't know. I can't talk about Ghanaians and other Africans but you see Yorubas are the worst! In terms of helping or cooperating to achieve, they are the most useless tribe/set of people. Most arrogant, self-conceited, selfish tribe.
A Hausa man can shortlist other Hausa men for Jobs just by seeing their names that they are Northerners but Yorubas will never want to see another of their tribe do well. They prefer to even see other tribes in that position than another Yoruba person.
Useless!

Lies..

In Yoruba culture, when a person becomes successful he or she must uplift family members before outsiders it's only when the Yoruba person is suffering from inferiority complex they help outsiders and tend to overdo for outsiders instead of their family members or fellow Yorubas.

Black people don't have the funds to help people that are not family members.

NinjaMetahuman:
like they will tell us apple is worth 4 trillion dollars.

4 trillion dollars is more than The entire of Gdp of Africa and half of Europe.


Then you start wondering how the fvck a company that is only popular in America and few other countries worth that kind of money?

Very funny people.

It is the dollar currency..

Fake news..

Where did the robbery happen?

Nobody could go to kitchen and get knives to stab the thieves while they trying to break in?

For more information, read the following report

Solving the liquidity crunch in the power sector.

Modifed

If you like, you can make fun, call me names, call me agbado, call me priviledged, call me murderer, call me whatever.

At the end, the problem with our power sector has always been that we do not pay market price for power.

Power sector needs to make 17 times its profit last year, and make it on a consistent basis before we can talk.

But most of you are here to argue for your party, not to have a discussion.

And if you are upvoting this because 'It favours tinubu, and shows he is trying'.////.....think again! Your leader and his predeccessor are partly responsible for the darkness we have.


Modified

I cannot continue on this thread....I am nearly in pain from the lafter I have


All I have said here is that the power sector must be allowed to charge at a profit...like the GSM do....and apparently believing that means that I support tinubu, and I support his corrupt government

All I will say is, when you find you are discussing with mad people, and drunk people, you walk away, lest their madness catch you.

All of you that have called me agbado, enjoy your website. I no dey talk with mad people. Na to send them go psych ward I dey suggest.

When people think that everything must be cheap,

Lies..

All the power sector needs is more giga watts.

Grid is collapsing because the current 3000mw is too small for a country like Nigeria..

NoToPile:
Very solid thread, these are the kind of threads that made me love Nairaland back then.

OP has a very solid point and he's quite observant.

Our values as north /south are so different.

Most northerners are always content with life, rich or poor.

Big lies..

If northerners are content with life then they won't be killing southerners and southern farmers.

PEACE2023:
The north goes to the farm, how many Southerners goes to the farm?
But we want to eat, transporting food from North to south is money. So you have to buy it with the cost of transportation.
The south needs to think again

The south does not eat farm products from the north...

Southern Nigerians have their own indigenous foods which is different from northern Nigerians.
If you are truly a Nigerian then you should know these.


Nigeria is a multi ethnic country where each ethnic nation has it's own indigenous foods and delicacies... Which means each ethnic nation have their own set of farmers which is also why when the north did a food blockade it only affected northerners..

You guys are talking as if Southern Nigerians don't farm and as if Southern farmers are not been killed by northerners who want to take over the supply and sale of food in the south.

semid4lyfe:
This issue has gone viral worldwide and is the stuff of podcasts.

I'm glad we won the internet/social media information war over Libya on this one.

I expect a lot of our players to appear on podcasts in the coming weeks and months to talk about this stuff.

Even SuperSports go milk the issue on that African football Show that features Peterside Idah.

It'd be an interesting few months to look up to

Supersports is mourning the death of its journalists in Nigeria...

Ihenzy:
How many assist would iwobi have had in that same match?

zero.

komekn:
That would be complete disaster

I expected this response from you... That's one of the reasons I am sure if Saka and Madueke were playing for Nigeria..

to you it would be a disaster to play a front 4 of Osimhen as Striker, Lookman as LW, Saka as AM and Madueke as RW..

you're very weird...

Ihenzy:
This analysis is purely based on sentiment.
Iwobi offers more to SE than chukwueze.

Kog45:
Bench Lookman and let Chuckwueze play SS/AM?

Chuckwueze is more creative than Iwobi?

In the 1st leg match against Lybia, Chukwueze would have had an assist if the Linesman was not incompetent...

Chukwueze was in the AM position when he made that assist to Lookman.

S.E defense needs to move the ball to the Iwobi in central midlfield then Iwobi moves it to either of Simon, Chukwueze and Ejuke.

no player offers more than the other player..

Kog45, people are complaining of lack of team work between Lookman and Boniface.. its either bench Boniface and let Lookman be the main striker or bench Lookman and Let Boniface be the main striker since if Lookman plays as an AM behind Boniface there will be no teamwork

typicalgamer:
These guy needs a better technique coach
Which can improve his productivity because all these talks about dribbling na for him pocket only stats that matters is G/A nothing else

Make we stop to they hype the man abeg so he fit increase his productivity

Or we have a 5 star ⭐️ dribbler on our hands and we’re ok with him just dribbling wtf 🤬

Bro should learn synergy with his teammates and become either an assist merchant let top 9 have the finishing touch

Or be a cut in and strike like robben

Wtf is dribbling compared to the talent he has at his disposal his productivity is very very very very poor
And that’s the truth

S.E as a team has better strikers than any club Ejuke has ever played for.. Ejuke will thrive in the current S.E.

Move iwobi to CM.
Let Lookman play SS/AM behind Boniface.
Put Simon on LW
Put Ejuke on RW.

Or even though it won't be wise... bench Lookman and let Chukwueze play SS/AM

Chukwueze is more creative than iwobi for the S.E.

havinng Simon, Chukwueze, Ejuke and Iwobi on the pitch can favor the S.E

Lack of V.A.R is stopping S.E from winning matches.
