Congrats to him...

He's now a licensed criminal...

The Problem of Nigeria is this:

The Lack of a System and a People that will ensure a Guaranteed Appropriate CONNSEQUENCES.

It is not corruption.
It is not nepotism.
It is not tribalism.
It is not lack of maintenance culture.
And it isn't all the things we say on public buses, public newspaper stands, etc.

If I ever get appointed. I shall ensure that the system of such a parastatal or MDA operates with an exceptionally reliable and available monitoring and consequence management system. There is no dirt on me that ANY Politician will blackmail me with. Unless they want to count teenage heartbreaks that I caused, as a crime. So, I will boldly institute and implement this.

It is this guarantee of consequences that makes the majority of Nigerians behave and form straight queues without a fuss when they land in London Heathrow. The same people that behave like animals at MMIA Lagos. They know no one cares who their fathers are or who the heck their uncle is. They know if they misbehave, they will end up in jail after conviction.

Take a look at any country that slacks with its justice system and Nigerians there will behave like animals too. It is for this reason, death sentence for convicted drug traffickers is appropriate to deter Nigerians from some Asian countries. Imagine what Nigerians would have done if the consequences were not severe?

THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA IS THE LACK OF A SYSTEM THAT MONITORS AND GUARANTEES APPROPRIATE CONSEQUENCES.

True.

But, I feel with the current situation...

It'll be hard to ever get to the peak of power in this sort of political environment without having skeletons hidden in your cupboard and there'll definitely be people who know and will want to use it to keep you in line if you try to disrupt the status quo.

There are too many against changing the current situation.

Lawlessness has made many rich and powerful. Only the threat of loss of life and their ill-gotten power and wealth will cause any of these parasites any fear.

JuanDeDios:
High taxation is NOT a bad policy - I'm not sure why people think it is. The European countries our people run to have high taxes. The problem is that the vast majority of our people are poor and you can't tax the poor . So we have to find another route to economic growth and development so that our people can be empowered. Oil is our natural route but that has failed, partly due to massive corruption .

That means we must increase productivity by removing the bottlenecks that hamper industry. Yes, we must look inwards. But if someone is trying to keep us poor, this advice doesn't necessarily amount to that .

Fine points.

The fate of the weak is always to be plundered.

It'll be difficult as there's no goal or ideology to get better to work with. And the pretenders in charge of affairs in the continent are simply managers of their bosses business.

EyeCumInPeace:
Funny how some Nigerians support Hamas but hate IPOB. Hamas that committed far more terrible atrocities than IPOB.

Indeed one man's Terrorist is another man's Freedom Fighter.

It's simply a clash of ideologies.

To any sitting government, all freedom fighters, whatever their motivations are terrorists.

You see why I sometimes say, most times the so-called orthodox dictionary definition of something does not necessarily describe or define that thing.

Those who like to look at origins of words would know this. Meanings change with the times, people and ideas involved.

In a nutshell, Hamas and ipob are terrorists. While Fulani herdsmen are bandits...

You see the ruse?

Hahahaha....

They've started again...

nairalander1, come and see ...

Higher tax, okay we'll pay. As long as the illegal taxation is effectively removed. And serious actions are taken to curtail pilferers, so good and uplifting works can be done with the taxes, It's all not a bad thing.

But as usual, I know what will happen...

It's either they take this outside advice without removing the illegal taxation (as in the case with building toll gates, yet agbero still dey collect on the same road. Abeg, wetin the toll dey for? )
And the Generals and lieutenants of these collections can't allow it go in peace. Not with all the foot soldiers bolstering their sense of self.

Or...

They ignore the advice as this will spoil the illegal collections. After all, tax is mostly about paying as you earn. But as the work to compute the meager earnings of most is too stressful, plus the exposure of those they're secretly sponsoring, who earn so much, our ogas at the top will simply let the advice escape from the other ear. Make dem no come spoil the osusu collection..

The work plenty... And I doubt they'll ever want to do such. But money collections is the sweetest work they'll put effort to make it work. Ordinary production of their own crude, we go dey hear all the excuse wey make God vex pursue Satan comot for heaven..

Abegi, IMF goan siddon one place...

Erm..

It's simply humans being whatever they choose to be.

Atheist or Theist, a crazy human is a crazy human. A murderous madperson will be just that, no matter the label he fancies to call himself.

Humans can do and be anything and everything. Crazy set of creatures that they... smh

Oya goan collect the land from them na...

Broda oni yéyé

This man...

You're too serious...

Most modern settlers of most places are probably migrants or aliens of some sort.

Immigrants all of us...

nairalanda1:
We also need to be a producer of more than just crude oil and its derivatives.

Abi... Even as say you dey right

But..

As the country and it's income currently relies heavily on this crude product, even a blatant illiterate in such a business would know they should first start refining their own crude if they were to increase their income.

I refuse to believe these people in charge don't know this already.

nairalanda1:
Open a thread on the matter, old man.

Good morning

Could've...

But this daddy is too lazy..

dnawah:
He will speak for himself,wait for the answers.

Delaying tactics like NPF

nairalanda1:
You don't want to engage the argument because it would make you accept some hard truths.

[center]That the world is not black and white[/center].

And yes, I agree with you. Justice for Deborah

And who's going to do justice on that case and how?

Like you rightly said: "This world is never black and white".

Those who called even the so-called refined courts of nobles as a different kinda jungle are no fools.

Armed robber mentality is prevalent in the real secular society. Forget all the nonsense talk of civility and being noble. No one truly cares about those at the receiving end of all the nonsense.

Supremos:
if we had had a president like this all through the period Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen including unknown Gunmen were terrorizing Nigeria, we would have solved those menace earlier enough.

Buhari's lackadaisical altitude helped the situation festered for long.


Imagine ordinary gang, president Bukele deployed 4000 soldiers.

And mind you, he has been fighting them for long now

If the group have help from outside, it won't be easy to end this (especially if some insider two-timer is in on it all). But his stance as the number one of his territory is important.

You can't only blame our Rtd General for all these mess. Our professor president is guilty as well.

Dialoguing and negotiating with such menaces will only birth more groups.

The amnesty funds and program was a wasted project. The only result is more groups springing up, wanting their own bite of the national cake. Not to mention using insurgency as a barricade to protect and personally claim and mine resources.

If you know how many groups dey cash out from this sit at home in the East, you'll understand.

Go through school or not..

Las las, for this country, everybody na goon...

MostImportant:
Seems content creation is the new Gold now and I am about to join it.

Good thing is that almost anything can be used to create content.

Comedy
Prank
Public opinion
Social experiment and so on.

As a faceless forum, let's hear from you.

Which one are you doing and how much are you making?

Without doubt, Nigeria is harder by the day. We thought after Buhari, the new government would give us some reliefs but it's making life harder by the day. To survive this, hustle from all angle is the way forward.

God be with us.

Hey Mr OP...

On the bolded...

What would even make anyone think so ?
In case I'm not aware, please tell us what and what changed. Or maybe a work in progress I'm unaware of birthed such thoughts in a Nigerian living in Nigeria?

I still find it hard to understand all these random ideas.

DeepSight:
No matter how crazy Boko Haram are, I have always believed that if there was real political will, they would be flushed out. But I don't think any government has concentrated with red eyes on the matter. If they do, they will deal with them.

True .

Like a politician friend of mine once said in a discuss we had on insurgency...

"There's hardly any of situations like these that the ruling party are itotally gnorant of"

An example is the recent cases in the Eastern part of the country, serious business is going in underneath the whole thing

Valid point.

These same peace loving people see world destruction by the bible God as righteousness...

They speak against some New World Order, forgetting their holy books too is planning on bringing in a New World Order. One where our properties will be taking and handed over to them, while we are all annihilated.

What difference does it make if aliens like their gods or humans destroy the world?

Las las, it's just the mindset of different madmen. And whichever program your mind runs on.

They're here clapping for Israel, as if Israel gives a rat's ass whether they live or die.

Believe me, these arrogant Israeli see all others in the same light. If you're not a Jew, you're nothing in their eyes.

All these religion wars una dey commit better stop at North and Yoruba lands


If una Mumu near South South ehnnn

Dey play..

2017, there was a collective protest from Ughelli up to Iyede, against the herdsmen destroying crops in farms and attacking innocent old people who simply wanted to plant little cassava and the likes to sustain themselves. You know what later happened.?

A delegation was sent from Asaba and all those in leadership positions were called together and secretly spoken to (and as this daddy suspected, hands were greased ).... Smh

These same elders came back to pacify the youths and were spewing nonsense slogans like we are one Nigeria... ??

Well, people were cajoled and deceived and an agreement was made to go warn the herdsmen to stop destroying crops and causing harm to the people...

2018, one of the leaders was shot dead and that was after a whole lot of trouble in the town.

Delta elders na fvckup abeg..

Ah..

Our aunty has forgotten it's not Lagos bus and flight attendant is not bus conductor...

Botragelad:
Stay strong Israel, there will be losses on your end, that's for sure, but please don't give up. Wipe out the terrorists once and for all. The world have had enough.

Imagine somebody save osusu Japa go Israel only to end up as a bomb victim...

Olohun màá jé..

sotall:


One question i am yet to find an answer to is "Aside Israel blockade, why are Palestinians also blockaded by Egypt?"

If Palestinians weren't trouble makers and terrorists, why are they also blockaded by Egypt?

Simple... It's mostly because of this crafty lie:

The West Bank and Gaza, which are known as the Palestinian territories, as well as East Jerusalem and Israel all formed part of land known as Palestine since Roman times.

These were also the lands of Jewish kingdoms in the Bible

They're a conquered state true...

But you should understand how stiff-necked the Arab musulmen are.

According to them, the whole place belongs to them before the Israelites whom their ancestors once welcomed later came back enmasse to fight them, steal their land and kill them for their land because the Israelite God (that's even supposed to be the universal creator o) told the Israelites that someone else's real estate is their own portion. Their argument is that : There's no way your God can give you my land just like that. What concerns your God with my real estate, your God na realtor?

Now, they themselves are now worshipping a God that has made them stiff-necked. So all these strong head despite the incessant lashing and blasting can never make them surrender.

As if Africans had continually resisted their colonizers, we'd probably be branded terrorists by today.

It's all politics. A fight for more and more resources.

No right and wrong involved there. Just an adult beating up a kid. The real wrongfulness is in having too small a fist. And even at that, na yourself you do for not having a big enough fist.

Even with handicap of over a thousand, the Israeli go still wound dem anyhow...

Superior military might and weapons speaking.

Until the Palestinians are able to get their hands on Superior armaments with an improvement in their military, they'll continually be suppressed and abused till death.

Only the strong (most vawulent destroyers) are respected.

And even with all these numbers, these people will never give up. Not with the motivation from their religion.... Smh

Abeg, make someone use the first picture do meme and mention me....

AnAbnormalHuman:
It was 100% a luck sha.

The whole thing felt creepy, stupid and hilarious at the same time...



Yh I think the older you get, the more thrash social media becomes.

Personally I use X to chase after conspiracy theories in my spare spare time.
Fb was because an employer asked me to message them on Facebook, apart from that, Nairaland and work.

Seriously the wahala is not even much oo, I ran an analysis and realized that he has zero impact on anyone so far... It's just the ranting that is much.
(How can I mention a human being once and get back over 10 mentions from him over the span of many hours? Did I kill his family member? Thank God for antispam bot that has cleared the contents of like 5 mentions now...)

Mo ti try... I'm contented for now.

You no go use laff finish me this evening...

RPG2020:
Congratulations 🎉🎉 una don born again

Hahahaha..

My gramps na correct falling hand on this one ..

The old baba took me somewhere back then, the man wife jhus born and they already had like 5, welcoming the sixth.

My gramps told him flatly exactly the way you said. But the wicked old man had to add: "I know say next year we go come greet una again"....

Come see laughter that evening....

Ahnie you no try o...

You people will jhus be showing us food and making us swallow spit ..

Now I'm hungry..

AnAbnormalHuman:
Yh, it's awkward to post this kind of topic on Religious Section.

But yes, I've observed this strange stuff and I want to share it. Cos it seems like here, many people are only arguing to flex (boast of) their "intelligence" and the flexing gets better whenever someone Likes something you post.

So the question right now is, are some of us now influencers? Posting in order to get Likes ?

For instance MaxInDHouse will make a post and before a few moments, we'll see one Like and one Share , and we obviously know that it's cornelboy's handwork...
Other times it can peak at 3 Likes and Shares, and we'd know that it's Aemmyjah and janosky that's contributing.
Honestly, it's not bad at all, and at least, it gives Max (and certain other people) the confidence that whatever Max has typed makes sense.

But that's not even the stupid example right now.
The stupid example comes from a certain Mayndonkey Maynman that I was trying to converse with...
This young donkey man mentioned me in a quote, I came in to view his reply but lo and behold, under the place where you can see current viewers on that post, I found myself seeing 3 alternate monikers of this individual, .
And as you'd expect... 3 Likes were miraculously added to his quote.

Like mehn... There's no need to be childish, you could have easily made your point with/without coming back to like your own post.
Are you a damn influencer? Have we now become influencers?
Are Likes that necessary here? Does this look like IG or FB?

I already said that Nairaland has been funny this month.
I just couldn't laugh alone so I'm inviting a few special people in case there's a better explanation for this scenario.
It's quite funny cos I always thought likes were authentic. 😂

In the attached pix, check out those monikers under Viewing This Topic:

Ah..

Even our own Maynman?
Me thought he got those monikers because either anti-spambot does not like his mouth or somebody else reported him to Mr Seun and anti-spambot?

Una get time o. Lazy person like us wouldn't even bother to check... i don't even have IG or TikTok and all those social media wahala account. And I sparingly have time for my FB and X
Twitter accounts. So after daddy spend time play on Nairaland, I'll still go to all those many many trouble to check all those many social media accounts? Tufia. Olohun màá jé..

What would I do with it. It won't give me new customers or anything so wetin concern daddy?

I still have to thank you for catching our Maynman red-handed, the guy wahala is just too much...

Ayama yuman.

advocatejare:
the country is not smiling right now, some people derive their validation from the number of likes they get on Nairaland.

Please don’t pour sand into their Garri

nairalanda1:
Two Northerners and Two Southerners getting oil contracts does not equal North running things re Nigeria's oil.

Oga, you people should stop this sensationalisim really.

Am sure now you will soon move the goalposts.

You are the same people that was telling us that Buhari...a man who could not run our economy well, ....would somehow islamize Nigeria. Well, he spent 8 years, and half , if not more of the country is still not Muslim. And the sharia judge he put on Supreme court was chased out of office for corruption, and Buhari did not lift a finger to protect him.

Go and face your southern governors, who loot loot loot . Like the Northerners too should do.

It's the same everywhere in the country.

The average Nigerian let's off their local representatives, state representatives, yet are quick to talk down the FG.

The state governors and local representatives are happy with it all, they'll spend all their time in office doing almost nothing for their constituency and even instigate them to focus on the FG.

Smh
