Politics / Re: Nigeria Police Now As Servant Boys To Politicians? by Darius2000: 6:54am On Nov 14, 2013 |
fkaz: We do actually have rights; they are well enshrined in our constitution and other relevant Acts. But oftentimes, we are not willing to pay the price of sitting down to look into them. A poorly educated citizenry remains the greatest caveat for corruption and irresponsibility. |
Education / Re: FG Stops Salaries Of Striking Lecturers (ASUU) by Darius2000: 2:13pm On Oct 11, 2013 |
jayriginal: Most of the people condemning ASUU have no clue whatsoever. Get yourselves enlightened! The best comment I have read here in a long while. I am a revolutionary. The greatest threat to our progress isnt the bad leaders .Rather its the docile masses who have refused to satnd up for their rights. Good governance will never come without some discomfort or sacrifice. This is a fact. I have never trusted the NLC. |

Its very nice to criticise constructively, but if you cant find anything good in the deeds of others, then its bad and self-destructive. 1 Like |

Car Talk / Re: Why Do Nigerians Form Extra Lanes During Slow Traffic? by Darius2000: 7:41pm On Sep 05, 2013 |
Reasons. 1. The average Nigerian driver lacks personal discipline. 2. The law enforcers arent actually committed to their duties. 3. Most importantly, there wont be any consequences(courtesy of reason 2) 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Jonathan Pays Condolence Visit To Fashola by Darius2000: 9:38am On Aug 09, 2013 |
In as much as demonstrating care and empathy to others, especially in their moments of grief, is undeniably appropriate and soothing, its a little unbecoming for the GCFR of Nigeria to attend to ceremonies or rituals that he can delegates other people within the presidency to. This is my personal opinion, and I do not in any way intended to insult the person or office of the President. |
Career / Re: Do You Enjoy Your Work? by Darius2000: 5:55pm On Jul 23, 2013 |
I work as a HSE Officer. Its the best work I can ever do. There's no greater than joy than that of preventing/ minimising injuries to my co-workers. Thats just part of what I do daily. |
Sports / Re: Do You Think Nigeria Needs A Foreign Coach? by Darius2000: 7:04pm On Jun 24, 2013 |
I am not in support of a foreign coach. Those clamouring for that a foreign coach should as well do so for a foreign president, or foreign lawmakers. On a serious note, why should anybody think the nigerian football should be anything different from its government? |

Fashion / Re: Why Are Second-hand Clothes Called Okrika In Nigeria by Darius2000: 10:20pm On Jun 12, 2013 |
Dont know much details about it, though a colleague of mine, who happens to come therefrom, told me it was because the Okrika community served as a very crucial trade-route during the colonial times. Hence, clothes and other materials that were brought into the Nation via that route were referred to as 'Okrika'.... |

Nairaland / General / Re: Why Do You Throw Dirt Through The Car Window by Darius2000: 6:03pm On May 22, 2013 |
Its such a dirty habit. I dont do it, and have tried many times to caution those who do it. I think its probably due to the following reasons, amongst others: 1. They lack personal hygiene and discipline. 2. They know there wont be any consequence...... |

Rossikk: These refineries have barely refined a drop of oil in the last 25 years, and now...they're up and running at 66% capacity. The above comment is so false and misleading. I work in one of the refineries, and can categorically tell you that Mr Ogbuigwe's claims are tenable. It's so sad when pple who have no idea about the internal mechanisms of a workplace make unfounded Criticism should be constructive to achieved its purpose. 2 Likes |

Politics / Re: 10,000MW Not Realisable By December - Nebo by Darius2000: 1:33pm On May 02, 2013 |
akaOpene: It does not have to end with the Minister telling us that government cannot for the umpteenth time fulfill its promise.You also have to look into the issue of struggling Nigerians being exploited financially on a monthly basis for electricity that is not supplied by PHCN.Here in Onitsha,it is darkness galore for the inhabitants and we still pay the over estimated PHCN bills at the end of every month.I think that a responsible government should consider their citizens if they really desire to earn their trust and understanding.Until this is done,the ordinary citizen sees this government as one that is making them pay for government's inefficiency and greed. We will never enjoy stable power as long as we continue paying for epileptic supply. NEPA doesn't have any reasons to up its supply, knowing fully well that the masses will pay even if there isn't power at all. 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: Nigeria Has No Reason To Be Poor — EU by Darius2000: 12:34pm On May 02, 2013 |
Rossikk: The EU should ask their member, Britain, what she did with all the monies earned from Nigerian exports from 1897 to 1960. If that money had been used to develop Nigeria rather than embezzled and used to develop England, Nigeria would have been as fully developed as South Africa at independence, and we wouldn't be having this conversation. So let them start with their own thievery. We are poor today because we are playing catch up, struggling to build things that should have been built 100 years ago.

Bro, seriously, lets quit blaming these people , i mean the british, for our problems. Honestly, 52 years are enough for a nation, it it has good and visionary leaders ,to be positioned for growth and development. Until we own up to our faults, we won't move forward. 2 Likes |

Politics / Re: FG Illegally Withdrew N1.04Trillion From Special-Funds Account - Senate by Darius2000: 4:23pm On May 01, 2013 |
I have stopped blaming our rulers for the mess we are in. Instead, I now blame we, the masses, especially the youths, who have refused to confront them thru appropriate means. We haven't seen anything yet. Their children will also continue from where they stopped. Btw, why are there only two pages in this post? Is it due to the fact it's not about religion or tribalism? |

We will endlessly continue to lament and groan until we engage these crooks in a showdown. The extent to which the government of a nation will be corrupt, depends on the masses. The government only thrives on our perceived docility and division. No human government is omnipotent! The happenings in Nigeria are more than enough to stir uprisings in other climes, but here we ahve decided to thread the paths of timidation and fear. We decide how our nation stays, not the government....Nigeria is made up of millions of cowards(the masses) and a few sons of a bitch(government officials) 2 Likes |
