musicwriter: So, because she now speaks fluent English she've become intelligent person overnight?
And whenever she speaks Yoruba she'll go back to being dumb?
You see, as I have always said, the damage British people did to our minds is incalculabe. What a pity the inferiority complexe we go about in Africa. And the so called educated people in Africa are the dumbest on the face of the earth!.
What a pity!! Bros, the thing is sooooo annoying ehn. |

shankara7: The zombies keep quoting textbook theories on how this recession could be a blessing to local production and our economy but forgetting that every economic theory always end with a clause "All things being equal" which implies that some assumptions were made to arrive at that theory. And because economists know that many factors like; lack of power, political factor etc and most importantly what we term the "Nigerian factor" might be an obstacle to these theories. Apart from using the pejorative term "zombie" to dismiss a segment of Nigerians, your statement is probably one of the best comments I have read on nairaland. |

Pylony: During that corrupt era where people not eating three square meals with the little they have? Tell your self the truth now not later. So character doesn't matter to you? No wonder our continent is a mess. Instead of putting an emphasis on integrity combined with competence (ability to do the job) we simply just ignore integrity and accept corruption as a way of life. Sorry to inform you but the reason we were "eating" was because of high oil prices. You can't run a robust economy based on commodities because when their prices drop them so goes your economy. There is a reason why the oil glut has not affected other oil producers like Saudi Arabia, the U.S and co. while at the same time the Russians are struggling and the Venezuelans especially. |

I could bet my last breath if he were an American or a Western European, some how, some way, they would have released him to his government to serve whatever sentence they pass on him on his home soil- and that sentence certainly won't be death.

OILSOUP: It is natural that some will dable into such business. We shouldn't be murdering people over drugs.
Did dey force u to take drugs? The drugs will always be their 4 those that choose to take drugs.
We can give dem nice lengthy sentence, like 25 to 30 years and release dem.
Nobody should be MURDERED for drug trafficking, especially legal drugs like cannabis.
They murdered him for importing over the legal limit, which is wrong.
If he was American or British dey wouldn't dare. Coupled with the islamist illiterate president with zero respect 4 life, that we presently have in Nigeria.
Singapore did wat they like here. if nigeria fail to contest such gross miscarriage of justice, then our citizens will be abused all around the world. Afterall nobody cares... Singapore is a sovereign nation with its own rules and regulations which they expect anyone on their territory to abide by.

henryanna36: EXTRACT FROM DELE MOMODU's ARTICLE TITLED 'THE SECOND COMING OF GOODLUCK JONATHAN'
I have been reading about the rising profile of our former President, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, and wish to state without equivocation that no one should rule him out of the 2019 presidential race. I first hinted this possibility about two months ago and wish to reiterate that Nigerians should prepare for the shock that awaits us. The story of Donald Trump should bring us back to our senses. Nothing is impossible. The second coming of Goodluck Jonathan may be so far-fetched or even belong in those categories of impossibilities but I wish to plead with our government and my fellow citizens not to rule it out. As one of those who made our modest and humble contributions to the coming of this Buhari government, I’m pleading with trepidation.
Jonathan’s popularity is rising not because of anything he has done to atone the sins that must have led to his waterloo but as a result of what our change government has failed or refused to do. The obsession of our government with going all out after Jonathan is the main reason the Otuoke man is beginning to smell like roses after the odoriferous position he landed himself last week. Only if our government had succeeded in maintaining the economy it met, Nigerians would have been ready to enter fire with Buhari. But there are just too many unresolved problems and challenges. The excuses that Jonathan and company left this peculiar mess behind has refused to fly. The groans might not be loud enough to reverberate all the way to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, as of now, but trust me it may become deafening, sooner than later. I do not care if men and women of power dismiss my submission with a wave of the hand but they should mark my word, there is a thickening conspiracy in the clouds. It would be a shame if we inadvertently play into the hands of those hovering and ready to pounce on Buhari.
I read about “persecution complex” long ago and I understand how it works. If you beat your own child so ruthlessly as if you want to kill him, the tilt of public opinion would always go against you. Many would wonder why you want to kill your own child. In our anger, let us pick our fights. There is too much tension in the land. I would be delighted if anyone could educate and convince me that Nigeria has gained much more than we’ve lost to this war of attrition. If we haven’t, we may need to retrace our steps urgently.
The BBC reported on Friday how Jonathan caused a stir in Sokoto State during his visit to the state to pay his respects to Ibrahim Dasuki, the late former Sultan of Sokoto. According to the report, Jonathan was received by a large crowd of admirers, some holding banners bearing the words “Come Back Baba Jonathan”. The same voices that chanted “Sai Baba” and “Jonathan Must Go” are now fiddling with the tunes of the possibility of a Jonathan to stage a comeback. Here lies the irony of political triumph and the paradox of high expectations.
The euphoria and momentum that saw the exit of Jonathan and the emergence of the Buhari change administration has since begun to wane following the inability of the new government to hit the ground running with the tenacity of a government in a hurry!
There are many who believe that the poor management of the ensuing economic recession didn’t help matters. Suddenly, Nigerians who had high hopes and voted massively for change are now caught in a limbo between confusion and uncertainty. As it stands today, the average Nigerian is confronted with the reality of an economic recession they never planned for; a situation they did not experience under the Jonathan administration and under previous governments.
Many of President Buhari’s supporters are worried that the humongous goodwill that engineered the Buhari change mantra is now being frittered away at the speed of light. The unfolding plot has now thrown up former President Jonathan as a new protagonist in Nigeria’s theatre of the absurd. For many of us who are ardent students of history, we have since learnt that nothing is impossible in the game called politics. Will history repeat itself again? Time is pregnant with answers!
Source: http://www.trezzyhelm.com/2016/11/extract-from-dele-momodus-article.html Chei! this is so sad that things are so bad in Nigeria that some Nigerians are wishing for the return of corrupt and incompetent administration? Its so sad that Nigerians did not have better options at the elections and had to chose between Buhari and Jonathan. Two people who could probably never win an election in most advanced countries in the world. Its like trying to pick between an E or an F in an exam. Something needs to be done about how electoral process especially in the primaries. Instead of the party cabal picking the who determines to win the party nominee and represent them in the general elections let Nigerians go to the voting booth and decide. Let the people vote like they do in the U.S. Let them vote during the party primaries and during the general elections. In the U.S, 17 candidates decided to run for the Republican nomination and eventually after several months Donald Trump won the nominee and he went on to win the general elections. Party candidates ought to be picked by the people and not the party bosses. |

uboma: By all means then let them resign honourably so that it will be on history that they resigned because they were prevented from performing their professional roles. No one is pointing a gun to their heads to remain a puppet....
Until then, Emiefiele and Adeosun (madam budget support) are incompetent and should have since been dismissed from office. You have a point. In some other countries, when the boss constantly interferes with the minister of finance they just resign because this could affect there resume. |
Politics › Re: Why Buhari Has Not Sacked Emefiele, CBN Governor - Pulse.NG by davidif: 6:35am On Nov 20, 2016 |
uboma: Emiefiele has since displayed his lack of expertise in managing the economy as the head of the CBN.
He and the Minister of Finance, Adeosun, should be sacked from office and competent hands be allowed to take their roles. You probably have a point but I don't think that Buhari has given them the autonomy required to do their job. My suspicion is that he is the one making all the decisions or he is overriding their own decisions. |

Bsmiles49: Hi guys, please pardon my mistakes cos I'm not that good in writing.This is my question to male romancelanders . I know a friend( female) who doesn't know how to ask guys for money, infact people in general cos she's too shy to ask, note: Not that doesn't she is not in need. Now there is this friend of hers that she likes and vice versa, but whenever they are together and she buys something, he always wants to pay but she doesn't allow him cos she doesn't want to be indebted to him. will say since she didn't ask, she is satisfied. This friend you are talking you sure say no be you sha? Either way back to your questions Now to my question 1. Guys, after u realise a girl is not after ur money, do you want her to rely on you for somethings? 2. If you go out and she wants to pay for the things she bought while you are there, how do u feel( do u feel embarrassed)? 3. Even when she doesn't ask, would you still give her. Reason: Some guys 1. Nope. 2. Not really. Now having said that, I would prefer to pay for my own things myself. 3. Nope. I don't like the thought of someone i am dating asking me for money. |

truthsayer007: There’s been a lot of people recently saying shit about Nigerian and how we flaunt ourselves in the public and show off when we have little money.
Many of our people underrate themselves and their lifestyle in Nigeria out of inferiority complex, and don't know how awesome their they are taken out there.
The reason why he wears same clothes everyday is because he's busy and it makes for one less thing to think about in the morning. Mark Zuckerberg does not want to spend valuable time choosing clothes. Nothing special about that.
The reason why Instagram exist is because people take great pictures and show off on it, So people lets use our head.
Kylie Jenner has the highest followers on SNAPCHAT. Why do you think Kylie Jenner walks into SNAPCHAT office like a Queen, because without her and other celebrities sense of style and dressing.
SNAPCHAT AND INSTAGRAM IS NOTHING WITHOUT PEOPLE THAT SHOW OFF LIKE KYLIE, KIM, JUSTIN AND OTHER CELEBS. IF MARK WANTS TO WEAR ONLY ONE SHIRT, NA EM BUSINESS.
