I was talking with one American frd of mine. I told her that Nigeria is a third world country. She said, "do you believe that?".



I told her it's not based on believe. When you live in a country where poverty is so thick that you can cut it with a knife. Then you don't have to doubt the data.


A country with per capita GDP of less than $2000 is fucking poor.


The annoying part is some so called countries still have per capita GDP less than $500. But unsurprisingly, 98% of them are in Africa.

weeping up sympathy as usual.

it will not work this time around.

That debate go sweet die for channels

quivah:
Yeah, because being a woman in Nigeria is a big risk now. We are potential victims, runs girl or legit or whatever. So long you are female, they see you as their potential money drawer.
Both young and old. I will have baby girls one day, I have female cousins and nieces and I fear for us.
We can't walk on the street now without checking left and right.
Suspecting that man who just passed by who mistakenly or intentionally rubbed his shoulder on us without checking to see if everything is intact.
We can't date rich guys cause his source of money, we don't know. Who knows if he's a ritualist, kidnapper or yahoo guy?
And poor /broke guys? We are scared too cause most of them are desperate to make money and will use those closer to them as a source. Take a look at those who killed that delsu student, do they look rich?
To keep male friends now na risk, if they dont rape, they kill for rituals.
You know your best male friend since primary school? Doesn't mean you can't be his potential victim if he wants.
That guy on the street who sends his 12year old neighbor on errands might likely do evil things to her the next day.
We can't conveniently dry our underwears outside now, pant snatchers are roaming all about.

Being a woman is Nigeria/Africa is a big risk. And yes I am pained, because people mostly men still find justification to these evil vices. You are a leech, runs girl, make your own money, student, married, single ....we are potential victims!

We can't even walk on the road these days.

Typical Nigerian comments.
Kids everywhere.
Most of you mocking her are still living with your parents and haven't experienced life.


Depression and Suicide thought is not something you joke with. Don't mock people unless you have been in their shoes before.
Have gone through that path before and know what if feels like

Ginaz:
School is not really everything. Parents are too hard on their kids, they want their kids to always top the class, put them in extra moral classes. These kids are suffocating.

How do you allow your kids to be in school from 8am-To 6pm and you're happy as a parent. You're killing the kid.

As for me, as long as my kids are done with their secondary education, whatever they decide is cool with me. If they gonna go to the University or not, so far they make good use of their time, it's all right.
And while they are growing up academically, no extra classes

I hate it so much with passion. Let the kids grow.

Oluwasaeon:
So much frustration in the land

kestolove95:
Same oldman told us GEJ will not disappoint, Buhari will not disappoint now his tell us Atiku will not disappoint after 4yrs he will tell us about who will not disappoint, Obj it's time for us to disappoint you too, PMB/OSINBAJO till 2023

izzou:


Getting out of this country is the only solution we have

Nigeria won't get better, whether Buhari or Atiku wins.

The system is still the same.

BankeSmalls:
Nigeria is the nearest experience to hell fire.

baliyubla:
Its obvious the envious man with a fine face and a dark heart is being sponsored by the dullard to divide PDPs votes. That too will fail, as duke should celebrate if he gets 10k votes even in his home state of CR.

NPComplete:
The truth is that we will never know how the church was built. We will never know how much of our collective wealth was donated there by unscrupulous politicians seeking favour from God and support from men. We will never know how much underhanded deals went into realising that project. All we will keep hearing is that it was a miracle.
Funny thing is such miracles are never replicated in building industries, raising the education level, and bringing up innovations the world has never seen before. At this rate in the next 30 years while other nations will be known for their giant strides, Nigeria will only be known for its big cathedrals and mosques.

NwaAmaikpe:



Blame it on the APC government.
If the government provided jobs that would recruit these jobless youths, where will ISWAP get their recruits from?
This is why we need a man who knows how to create jobs to lead Nigeria.

If there are jobs, they'd be fewer jobless people,
If there are fewer jobless people, they'd be no one for ISWAP and Boko Haram to recruit.

If Boko Haram has fewer foot soldiers, Boko Haram's influence will greatly drop,
If Boko Haram's influence drops, the Nigerian Army can then defeat them.

I stand with Atiku/Obi.
How about you?

thebosstrevor:
democracy have failed us

i expect a coup in Nigeria soon or soldiers going AWOL.

from this situation you can see the solders are angry , i feel soldiers will stop obeying their commanders soon

even a civilian will see that soldiers morale are very low.

i dont think they killed the CO, they might use him for information or negotiation

Optional09:
Stop the confusion, I don’t believe in all those theory. Who knows you could be one of the Boko Haram trying to confuse the people.

I repeat, If I am the president of Nigeria I will close all our boders until we get rid of Boko Haram

Bobbyrobby1:

Bobbyrobby1:
