And now, I know who @segalinks is

Some Buhari supporters will try to harm him on the way (if they can): my guess.

carzola:
Hope they died

His father is responsible
For mass death in this country

Do you think that is a nice thing to say?

Hello guys, I need to withdraw funds from my Paypal account today.

Anyone out there?

I will help you

There are many people that would do better than Buhari, considering the low standards that he has set.

The OP also seems to conveniently forget that the reason we call those bags "Ghana must go" is because there was a time in Nigeria when we chased Ghanians away.

SSGN:
The recent disparagement metted on Nigeria by Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo Speech at 2018 Oxford Africa Conference in London is a clear symptoms of how successful the Powers that be have been in fracturing the strong economic, military and diplomatic bond English West Africans once shared, a bond that was the envy of French West Africa.

The hypocrisy and absurdity of this speech is evident given the fact Ghana just signed a deal that allows U.S military to set up base in Ghana, Americas first military foothold on Anglophone West Africa, thereby joining the ranks of Niger, Chad and Cameroon as a base for the U.S military. 

Anti-Nigerianism has grown to epic proportion in the region that was once under Nigeria's sphere of influence. Lies and conspiracy theories are being launched by french and American propaganda machines, leveraging on the already negative stereotyping Nigeria has. 

These theories accuse Nigeria of being the cause of the problems facing the region. It's a very serious problem for the future relations between Nigeria and the rest of West Africa, who are quick to forget the immeasurable sacrifice Nigeria has made to keep ECOWAS the most democratic and one of the economically prosperous region in Africa.

 But as always, dependent countries in the region will always find something to gripe about when it comes to Nigeria. It's always been this way. Nigerians bring crime, Nigerians controlling our economy, Nigerians stealing our women Nigeria this Nigeria that.

Anti Nigerianism, especially in Ghana as become almost uncontrollable. It has possessed them like a disease. It rises in their throat like an acid reflux . . . they can't keep it down any longer. Ghanaians see themselves as vastly different from Nigeria, yet in some parts of the world we are indistinguishable. They detest Nigeria's influence yet cannot do without Nigerian music and culture.

It seems perverse, then, that anti-Nigerianism is the only face of xenophobic stereotyping still broadly accepted in all parts of Africa. If, at a dinner party, you imitated the way Chinese people speak, laughed about their stupidity, their "slitty eyes" and their lack of grace, you could safely expect never to be invited back. But no one thinks twice about calling Nigerians criminals,dumb, fat and loud uncultured, and we have guys like Falz promoting that stereotyping all in the name of music.

Africa's aversion to Nigeria reaches far beyond the political sphere. It is not a question of what Nigeria"does", but of its essence: of what it "is". 

Now, Nigeria might be detested and hated in French speaking West Africa. There has been historic animosity between Nigeria and Francophone West Africa. France feared Nigeria's "castrating" power long before it grew into an 800-pound "gorilla", and did everything in their power to denigrate Nigeria.

Nigeria has practically gone to war with one military skirmishes nearly escalated to full blown war with another. Couple that with years of French indoctrination and you see the people in these countries have legitimate reasons to hate Nigeria.

But this should not be the case in Ghana. Nigeria has done more for the region that Ghana can ever hope to. Ghanaians have an inferiority complex, which is hard to explain. Just days ago i was watching a program on Joy Tv, a Ghanaian televisoon station whereby the topic of contension was that Dangote is not the richest man in Africa. Nigerians are full of hype. You cannot make this up. Ghanas obsession with Nigeria is without parallel. They love the country they pretend to hate.

At the end of the day though, it boils down to resentment, resentment emanating from the fact that TWICE now, Nigeria has had to sacrifice untold thousands of its young people to rescue West Africa from the folly of senseless ethic crimes. A job the United States wasn't keen on taking up. 

[b]Dear Ghanaians who look down their noses at Nigerian[/b]s,

Let’s get to the real reason you hate us. Well, reasons. In the spirit of civility, I’ll ignore the obvious jealousy of our superiority is basically every indices of national development and clout.

Africans often talk of Nigerian “arrogance.” How people abroad don’t like us. Partly because of this supposed arrogance. Well, after thinking about it, after praying about it, after writing a lengthy pro/con list, I’ve come to a serious conclusion: I have zero craps to give. Go ahead, call us arrogant. Stand on top of a table in a snooty French restaurant and mock the Oga boys. My blessing? You have it. Get the point?

We have plenty of good reasons to believe we’re better than other Africans. Mainly because we are. The key to pulling off arrogance is similar to mastering a great suit. Believe it. Live it. Love it. I’ve embraced Nigerian arrogance more heartily than you’ve embraced the Liberian refugees. 

Trigger Arrogance Warning:

We’re the only regional power to remain superpower of the region without simply conquering and imposing our interest on you our economic and military power, despite the fact that we could. Why could we? Picture the economy of Lagos, or the size of our military.

We have the biggest armies, navies, and air power. Ghana is allowed to exist as a sovereign nation by Nigeria's merciful grace. Could we conquer them and take their stuff? Sure. Could they do anything about it? No. Do we? No. For a regional power that id dominant in economy, demography, diplomacy, culture, milittary, intellectually...throughout history, that’s a first. Again I invite you to chew on that. I’d encourage you to gargle afterward (no more, I promise). 

“Oh Nigerians think it’s their job to police ECOWAS!” said every non-champion who left the birth canal reluctantly. If you follow my blog you will see im generally a non-interventionist when it comes to ECOWAS, but you know why people believe Nigeria should police the region? Because we’re the only ones who can. See above paragraph regarding our fantastic military might.

But the United Nations! They’re the real peace keepers in the world!” Okay, now that’s just stupid.. Look it, all of these international agreements are designed to ride on American coat tails. But of course, i wouldn't expect you to understand, considering 

To this day, who do ECOWAS nations call when they’re up feces creek with nothing but a spatula? It’s not Ghana. Even if you just became Americas newest aircraft carrier in West Africa. Here’s a hint: it’s not the Britain. Nope, not Gambia. Not the Ivory Coast. Keep guessing, you’ll get there.

Also Nigeria and Ghana are practically the only country in West Africa with freedom of speech. So that’s a pretty big one. Best point for last. Free speech means I can call all you Ghanaians spineless, toothless, cotton-headed ninnymuggins without political repercussions. Same way you deem it fit to shamefully disparage your only powerful ally in the region that guarantees you access to a market of 200 million people, people you emulate yet shamelessly disparage right in front of the world.

First of, Nigerians are indeed "fat and loud uncultured".
We had great potential but our potential today (because of its consistent rubbing against minds of inferior intellect) is only as that of diamonds with Sierra-Leonean natives when the first white men landed. It was said they used the stones to decorate their mud huts.

There also is a sect of Nigerians notorious for this loudness. Perhaps 2 ethnic sets.

Can we deny the popularity of fraud (yahoo yahoo) with young Nigerians in Ghana and South Africa?.

Can we say that we have not heard many people who do not participate in it, give it a thumbs up back home here? Saying that
the boys should deal with the white man because the white man has been wicked to us?

Can we explain why elections in our country still take place with machetes, cutlasses and guns?

Can we explain why with our quite sizeable coast line, we have chosen to inflict Lagos with an over-congested port? Let ships pay huge demurage waiting to offload, and causing many not to bother to come to Nigeria at all, but to consistently go to Benin Republic or Togo?

Can we explain why we deem it more important, who is employed (as a minister) by the federal government, from our state, than the actual judicious use of the funds actually allocated to the state and our very own local governments for better development of the very states and local governments in which we live?

Can we explain the primitivity expressed in Nigerian driving? Well, this one, I know most of us do not even see it because it is the only kind of driving we were born into. Spend some weeks in some other clime and you will understand how people from other climes feel about the kind of people we must be, to engage the road like that.

Our men's favourite pastime after work is... you guessed it. Drinking and hanging out their prides. While other men gather to create roadmaps with which to invent tomorrow, using today as material, the number of green bottles on a Nigerian man's table determines his pride for that evening.

While songs like "Thinking out loud", "Let her go" etc get popular in other climes, such songs never get popular here in NG.

It is songs like...

You too fine pass mami-water eh-eh by whizkid
Looking for Caro by whizkid
Banana fall on you, by Davido
Looking for my Johnny by whizkid
I wan jogodo by I don't know who
Dance in Alingo by Psquare
I no like dis your touching body
One corner
and others...

pervade the minds of young people.

Emptiness goes in, foolishness comes out.

But you see, in all these things, people with the OPs position say "We are just too cool" as the rot spreads with rapid speed.
As the number of thugs on the streets become more plentiful than they were some years ago.
As fraud has become totally accepted by both young and old.
They (fraud and indiscipline) enjoy an increasingly warm embrace with the populace,
such that whenever we have apparent horrors for leaders in the state or federal levels, there will be many who will
be emotionally hauling praises at the horrible personalities responsible for engineering horror before our very eyes.

Please, count me very well out of any who will participate in the self-deceit that will first pretend not to see reasons for any people disparaging us, and to instead find the courage (and I don't know from where) to praise the perpetuity in failure that we have committed to making of ourselves over the years.

lackren:
The Federal Government has appealed to churches and other religious organisations to use their platforms to propagate the achievements of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration..read more

I hope they know better - that they are to preach God's message and not a certain president's praise

It is not good that legislators who are supposed to be makers of the law are trying to appeal to all kinds of things to make us believe Saraki should resign, other than the written letters of the law.

All those who will not fall back to the written letters of the law regarding the Saraki matter, may indeed not be fit to be our senators.

They have already revealed themselves in this over-zelous burst, as they did prior, saying that the killings were done out of retaliation for cows killed, finally proving president Buhari's claim that the killers were from Libya as either wrong or a blatant lie.

Considering that government knows a lot, with its secret service and what not, I believe Buhari was just telling a blatant lie.

This is one thread I don't need to even write a single word about.
I just allow the subject marinate in our brains as whoever sees it creates thoughts and analysis of his/her own.

Tinubu is showing us all his true colours (which has however been clear to all who wanted to see).

midolian:
Isn't it amazing how this man without spending a dime, gets supporters who are willing to go to any length to show their support for him?

Buhari is a special specie!

he deliberately tapped into the radical part of their brains over the years, with his inappropriate comments laced with extremist leanings.

That is how he got himself (and Nigeria) here.

Shelumiel:
I'm sorry for asking but I just couldn't resist the urge. Please what makes you think that Saraki can become president ?

rebranded
Saraki can become president but not now. 2023 is the time he should be maturing the idea of him as candidate for.
Meanwhile, PDP has already zoned the position to the north, and not the south-west.

Former Chocolate City rapper, Iceprince has suggested a merge between Ghana and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


Just few hours back, the Cool Cat CEO decided to give The African Union(AU) a piece of advice.


Ice Prince tweeted: “Dear AU (aka African Union) Pls Take My Ad-Vice: Its time to make NIGeria and GHana One Country Fa Real !!!!!! I suggest the ‘Federal Republic Of NigGha’

Do you agree with him?




Dear AU (aka African Union) Pls Take My Ad-Vice: Its time to make NIGeria and GHana One Country Fa Real !!!!!! I suggest the 'Federal Republic Of NigGha' #TalkToMe

source : https://gistmp3.ng/ice-prince-suggests-nigeria-and-ghana-should-be-merged-as-one-country/

The idea that an AU or UN can step in anywhere and decide the secession of one country from another (or in this case, the merging together of two countries) seems to be borne out of tilt of the mind towards subservience.

The only way this fantasized merger can take place is if both countries want to merge.

Ghana alone, or Nigeria alone, cannot decide it and it is no other person's business.

The question is, why would we want to bring Ghana down? Why should we think they may agree to be carried backwards?

I think it disrespects the legacies of folks like Awolowo and Tai Solarin to compare Tinubu with them.

Merimental:
i always knew d ride wit dis regime was so gon be full reverse mode into 18th n 19th century world..
A modern day politician liking his Victory to Hitler's (who killed millions) is surely from d pit of hell.
why is dis country dis bad??

Very crass and irresponsible thing to say. Are we sure he is not indirectly working for the PDP?

Let me just say this again. We pleaded that we should not have Buhari as president.
We were not listened to.
So now, let me just say it again that if the president and his clique have chosen to be this bad when they have ambitions for a second tenure,
then what will they do when they know there is no further tenure?
Let us be think, Nigeria.

Senator Bukola Saraki's special assistant on new media, Olu Onemola, in response to claims by the BMO (Buhari Media Organisation) cleared the facts on their claim that he was stalling the INEC budget approval process by not reconvening the senate for a plenary.

While he did a neat job of laying facts bare, he also exposed something that I have been bothered about.
And that is how the current administration has done nothing to strengthen transparency in the electoral process, building up from where the past administrations stopped.

Jonathan made the right move to go the technology way, but card readers are not in our electoral laws, so the evidence of fraud made clear by card readers could not be made to bear on final judgements. At (and after) the tribunals, everyone agreed the next step was to include these new transparency checks into our laws.

The Electoral Act was passed by the National Assembly to take all of us further but the executive has turned a blind eye to it up till now.

This is the excerpt from Mr. Olu Onemola's statement.

massinola:

Nigerians want to know why President Buhari withheld his assent on the first Electoral Act passed by the National Assembly to help legalize the various innovations that are needed for free and fair elections. These are the questions @BuhariMediaORG should ask their principal.

@BuhariMediaORG should ask their principal the following questions:

“What is he afraid of in the very progressive proposals contained in the Electoral Bill?”

“Why does he want to frustrate the 2019 election by not signing the much-needed enabling laws into effect?”

profolaolu:
Are you bereaved? why the acrimony and bickering? were you not part of those jumping like an he-goat when someone called a tribe sophisticated slowpoke?

Then you are descending to their level.
Igbos have referred to us, ijaws (without basis) in a derogatory way.

But because we see their foolishness (it is mostly visible as daylight) we ignore them and allow them to wallow in that foolishness.

Do not get involved with foolishness and the expression of folly.

Hello house,


P.S this thread's content has been updated here: https://www.nairaland.com/4489366/clickbank-2018-new-solutions-strategies

I am here again with something very beneficial to whom it may concern.
It has been a trend now to open a clickbank account from Nigeria, especially now that the economy is hard and biting our pockets. Forget, the recession me dey feel am wella.

But opening a clickbank account has become cumbersome especially with the issues of VPNs, dynamic IPs and all that. Many people have hit brick walls when trying to open a clickbank account. Well the good news is this, I will teach it for free on this thread today. I am not collecting a dime for anyone.

Yes, in one of my previous threads, https://www.nairaland.com/3751564/open-clickbank-account-free-charge/2#3751564.68,
I opened for seven people who contacted me for free but the consequent persons I charged them 2k. If they are reading this thread today and feel cheated well I am sorry. You weren’t cheated rather you paid for a service which I delivered on time.

The issue with some of us is greed, before that thread was opened, I had a thread were I opened accounts free for people only for these persons to sell those accounts for as much as 15k per account. One person in particular had two monikers and approached me again not knowing that, I knew of his plans. Thank God the thread was deleted due to some extra wahala. I was touched by a fellow who met me two weeks ago as he was weeping hard. He told me his father was hospitalised and he had exhausted all he saved up, no jobs for 7 years after graduating so I had to teach him this and he made his first sale last week, only for him to package my tutorial in an ebook and sell for #6500. Why? Had it been I had refused, he would have called me wicked or whatever well its his biz.


Now if I carry out this tutorial and someone begins to package an ebook, it is only God that will judge, I have nothing more to say.
I am already spoiling business for some persons but it is not my problem, I mean hey, from nairaland I came and learnt a lot, so I am giving back.


To that note, I will wait for at least 8 go ahead comments so that, I will know the seriousness of nairalanders who might need this and so that people won’t just come in and view, then run to begin packaging ebooks.


Thank you

This is just for me please.

During the interview, Reuben Abati asked Femi Adesina how he's finding the job and he said, "It depends on what motivated me in the first place to take the job. If I was motivated by other things rather than serving a man I admire, then I'm sure there would have been times I would have said what the heck.

"What kind of job is his that opens you to all kinds of abuse, but because I am serving a man I had always admired, I consider it as an assignment rather than a job and as an assignment, I'm happy to carry it out for as long as the president wants me."


cc: Lalasticlala dominique Mynd44

That is the problem. Almost infantile worship of personality over the greater commitment to right and a stand against evil. You are not supposed to be serving a man you admire, but the country you come from.

This shows the level of contract inflation that has possibly become the norm in the system.

Reminds me that the ministers do not want to come and defend the expenditure of the money allocated to their ministries in the last budget.

Can you imagine the horror that will be, if Buhari actually gets given a second term by us?
Considering that he and his clique chose to be this bad, knowing there was a chance for a second term,
how will they behave when they know there is no further term?

I don't see it as being safe at all, voting baba in as president.

Contrary to the claim by the Nigerian government through the Information Minister Lai Mohammed, the government paid a “large ransom” to free scores of female students kidnapped by the Boko Haram from their school in Dapchi, Yobe State, earlier this year, the United Nations has said.

"Flogged"was put in quotes and that is when I knew (even before opening the thread) that it was meant figuratively.

...that once he left the PDP, he was no longer in the minority party, so he could no longer be seen as the minority leader.

It has nothing to do with whatever Oshiomole has been creating a disturbance about recently.
https://scannewsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/adams-oshiomole-660x330.jpg

The recent calls for the senate president to resign, by the APC has been indeed a combination of comical and puzzling.

The reason for this is the groping in the dark for tangible grounds for this call and their final landing on the only thing they look foolish grasping on to: MORALITY

If they think that it is immoral for an elected senate president to continue in office when he enjoys the support of majority of the members of the house and has not violated their rules, then we must begin to get curious about their idea of morality.

If they think it is moral to give little or no attention to the crimianl killings going on in the middle belt, but invest all their mental efforts and energies in the removal of one senate president, then we have to be curious about their idea of morality.

Indeed, if they bring the ridiculous idea of morality into this matter (when in fact it does not fit just as virginity just doesn't have a place in a gathering of honorable grand mothers),

then we begin to understand why they have run the country aground and have the nerve to suggest all the ridiculous things they have wanted us as a country to believe.

From the idea that the heardsmen are from libya

To the idea that the social media bill should exist,

to the idea that the remedy to the fulani killings is only prayer

To the proposed law to regulate NGOs through a govt-owned NGo.

We see the reason why they with great confidence flounder about our political space.

It is because they don't have an idea what the true meaning of morality it.

Exactly
