Bro, I understand your submission.... buh there's no hope for now..... If Lagos that is 15% educated is still under such, what about other states?? Just imagine it bro.... Nigeria dey trouble...

Yes of course. I agree there is no hope for now. 15% educated population in Lagos is very small to have any significant impact to overcome rouge politicians and make any positive advancements. But when the percentage is like 70% educated you will definitely see huge difference and cherish the value of education.

People think the problem of Nigeria is simply bad and corrupt leaders. But this is not the real reason. The real reason is that the bulk of the population are uneducated in the sense that the kind of orientation or mindset they have is not the type that creates modern societies. Even many university degree holders still don't possess this kind of orientation.

Your example of China shows that you don't know much about the topic at hand. The Chinese communist party was hell in it's first 40 years, China was a laughing stock all the way till the late 90s and before that, the country basically enslaved its people for over 2000 years with imperial rule, abeg stop the baseless comparison. Moving on, who brought the GSM you use to Nigeria? The internet providers, the reform in the banking sector to name a few. To say we have not witnessed any meaningful development since 1960s is a FALLACY! Nigeria is nowhere near where it should be but it is also not the worst country in the world, just 15 years ago, you wouldn't have Nairaland or any means of reaching your loved ones far away in a reasonable amount of time or medium. Finally, you speak of Tinubu being a criminal yet you cannot challenge him in court because you claim the justice system is messed up, I think there are other ways to put pressure on someone besides the justice system. Why don't you gather up your facts and evidence, put it up in a blog and spread it out throughout 9ja? Be sure to put your real name and your address so that people can give credit where it is due. This is what true heroics/patriotism is all about and it is the main reason why those advanced countries are advancing, not useless rants with no action!

You are the one who doesn't know much about the topic. The history of the communist party you wrote there isn't even necessary. It was off the main point of discussion.

You earlier said it took the U.S 240 years to reach the level they are at the moment, and I am saying if China can make rapid progress within 40 years why can't Nigeria also make rapid progress within 60 years? Must it take 240 years to develop?

What makes you think the introduction of GSM counts as real development? To be specific, I am referring to human development in terms of quality of life. Development is measured in terms of economy, education and health care and and not simply GSM usage. The progress of Nigeria in these key area has been poor, therefore we haven't made any meaningful progress at all.

Are you asking me to put up my facts and evidence against Tinubu on a blog? Will it be the first time someone is calling him out? You think it changes anything?

abbey621:
You love comparing apples with oranges. Nigeria a country less than 60 years old is being compared with one of over 240 years. You can try researching the politics of the U.S in the 1840s and see just how advanced they were. Another classic example would be the Great depression of the 1940s, where the average American could not eat more than one meal per day. Where the IQ's of the people back then faulty? You have a lot to learn, the awesomeness of those advanced societies took a lot of learning and sacrifices along the way, Soros is exactly like Tinubu, anybody willing to financially back a political candidate is sure to receive special favors from those candidates when elected. This is how lobbying works, this is why the U.S. cannot pass any meaningful gun control law. When it comes to history and politics, you better educate yourself more and rely less on emotional attachment!

People will always say it took America 240 years to get there bla, bla, bla. What about China that was a peasant country in 1980 then developed so fast within 40 years? What would you say about that? I understand it takes time to develop but how do you explain the fact Nigeria still doesn't have stable power supply after 60 years? Does it take 60 years to have stable power? We should actually be witnessing bits and bits of progress but since 1960 till this point there is actually nothing that indicates the country is advancing. The problem isn't actually the years but how much you are advancing within those years.

Tinubu is a criminal and not just a godfather. Does Soros massively rig elections? Did he massively steal public funds? If your answer is NO then Soros and Tinubu are not same.

abbey621:
I beg to differ, Nigerians are a lot smarter than the average American but due to extreme poverty and kissing *** we won't heavily criticize anyone capable of getting us from rags to riches. This has nothing to do with IQ my friend otherwise you would be admitting that you are one of those low IQ individuals . Like I said earlier, you can' take down someone that is not bound by electoral mandate, this is the reason people like the Soros exists here in the U.S, godfatherism and lobbying are forever part of politics, that is why they call politicians 'dirty'.

The kind of smartness Nigerians have is definitely not the type that creates advanced societies. The smartness that develops societies is the REAL smartness. Every other smartness is useless if it can't take citizens out of poverty, improve education, healthcare and make advances in technology. Nigerians lack the education and IQ to make these key vital progress.

Please don't compare Nigeria's godfatherism with that of the U.S. They just don't work the same way. Don't say Tinubu and Soros are the same. Don't go there!

abbey621:
Hahaha, can you stand bodly in a court of law and accuse him of such? If yes, why can't you sue him? The difference between citizens of the U.S or U.K and that of Nigeria is that in Nigeria we like to hide behind the keyboard and beat our chest while in those countries they actually expose them legally and through the media with cold hard evidence.

In a lawless nation like Nigeria suing him is just a waste of time. That would be the wrong approach. To take down the likes of Tinubu the masses needs to be civilised, enlightened and educated to boost and modernize their IQ. That's why I wasn't joking when I earlier said low IQ and lack of education is killing the country. In a country with bright minds these rogue politicians would have been powerless. Education and mindset modernization is actually the key to transform Nigeria and many people don't realise it.

Make yourself available to her
You will tell me where in the world such is done on volunteer basis

Una go just sit down in a corner of your room to start proposing some ridiculous stuff

If it's not done anywhere in the world does it mean it can't be done? Some situations deserve taking a different approach. If people can come out to protest bad leadership why can't people also volunteer to support good candidates?

abbey621:
Wow....Nigerians truly are out of touch with reality, we have over 20 Tinubus in the U.S. but they are codedly behind the scenes! Tinubu is not in any citizen appointed position, he is a godfather in Nigerian politics hence would not be under the scrutiny you would normally hold elected officials. Even as advanced as the U.S is in terms of politics, there are those underneath such as the Soros and other heavy financial backers who control things behind the scenes. Calling Trump or Blair a saint is just laughable, I don't need to argue about that, it's ridiculous

I am glad you said "codedly behind the scenes". Why can't they come out open and try nonsense like Tinubu does in Nigeria? Besides, the so-called Tinubus in the U.S are just financial backers and not murderers, looters and riggers like Tinubu your lord. Note the difference.

simplycarro:
Your own problem is comprehension.

How many local polling booths of over 5,000 in Nigeria 774 local government can she afford to put a polling unit agent?
The issue is that most of your are so dumb that you’ve refused to be realistic in your expectations.

At the moment only two political parties in Nigeria have the wherewithal to participate in presidential elections in Nigerian.

If I ask you who is the chairman of her party now you will go numb, but you will readily mention APC and PDP chairmen

Whenever Nigerians stop supporting bad leaders and get serious about electing the right candidate the bolded will not be an issue. There will be millions of volunteers willing to ensure that rougues are not elected as leaders.

abbey621:
U.K voted for Tony Blair, U.S. voted for Bush and Trump, are you telling me majority of people in those countries have low I.Q and are uneducated? Oga park well, you understand nothing about politics and human emotions, it has nothing to do with logic and more to do with power of persuassion!

Those guys you mentioned are saints compared with someone like Tinubu and his fellows. Even Trump with his flaws is 1000 times better than Tinubu. Keep supporting criminals as leaders. Later you open your mouth wide to say our politicians are corrupt.

If I may ask, if Tinubu is citizen of the America and he tries to use your "power of persuasion" style of politics do you think he would ever succeed?

SarkinYarki:
The truth is that Tiinubu can't be relevant where free and fair elections are held , his stranglehold on Lagos is a cocktail of unfairness , cheating ,thuggrism and heavyhandedness...Even Tinubu knows if votes are allowed to be counted in Lagos he can win even in Alimisho

Correction, Tinubu cannot be relevant where civilised, educated and sound minds dominate the population. As long as majority of Nigerians are low in IQ and dumb people like Tinubu will thrive even when election is free and fair.

simplycarro:
That woman is simply a distraction! Simple. She is not a serious person

So Tinubu, Buhari and Atiku are the ones that are serious? It baffles me that Nigerians would leave upright people to choose criminals as leaders. Nigerians indeed deserve their suffering. IQ in that country is really poor.

Proudly Alimosho guy.

I’m sure no one in her local government in Nnewi south knows she is contesting to be President in Nigeria.

Envy and jealousy of Tinubu will eventually kill some people

I hope you guys are seeing for yourselves that YOU the crooked citizens are responsible for the terrible state of the country. Later on you all blame politicians. Someone is trying to dislodge these selfish and incompetent politicians and you are mocking her and rather support the evil politicians. You guys deserve the the bullshit you suffer in Nigeria and you don't deserve pity.

Is it really acceptable for Nairaland to display graphic images especially those of dead people? If a family member of Seun was involved in a mishap will he really allow the graphic photos to be displayed on Nairaland? Poeple's privacy needs to be respected even in death. People can assimilate the story without the inclusion of graphic photos. Seun doesn't care as long as it yields traffic and money.

Houseofglam7:
Please woman, don't be stupid

What did she do wrong?

That's only if they want progress. You expect the people benefiting from it to discard it? This country is really trapped.

CheeZena:
Before
What can he do? He knows if he does anyhow she go arrange am anyhow.

Abeg insecure men go for your type ooo.
Ain't nobody got time for y'all.

This is exactly why men are scared. Why would a man want to marry a woman who feels she can compete with him in authority. In a family there must be a leader to maintain unity and do things with one mind. By default that leadership falls on men. When a man marries a rich woman who is intoxicated by her wealth and would want to prove she has power that is when problems will begin to creep into the marriage. Men naturally wouldn't want to be controlled by a woman in the family and a woman who is being influenced by her wealth wouldn't want to be controlled by a man. There would be a clash of authority and the marriage wouldn't just work. Will you be happy for instance if your younger sister 10 years younger than you gets wealth and starts to use it to control and disrespect you?

This is not about being insecure. Two captains just can't man the same ship. Unless the woman is very understanding and humble with her wealth then there would be no problem.

Daeylar:
OK I see your point now, it's better explained. The first post doesn't convey your point at all though.

Men naturally view themselves above women the same way you view yourself above your younger sister who is 10 years your junior. It's really uncomfortable when your younger sister gets wealth and power then she starts treating you like you ain't her elder anymore.

I know there are exceptional women out there who wouldn't let the money influence them. But it's difficult figuring out which rich woman will comport herself unless it's someone the man knows very well. That's why the "fear" is there by default when a man sees a rich woman.

The best time to find a partner as a man or woman is when you ain't that rich.

Daeylar:
Should he be able to do anything to her before? what does that even mean?

Of course the man shouldn't do anything to her. But that is not the point. Some women actually have this bitterness and envy towards men. Just like those women cursing men online. You can imagine when such a woman is powerful and rich. She would like to use her position to abuse men and make him feel worthless. That's what makes some men scared of rich women.

What some men are scared of is the attitude of some rich women. They would always want to rub it on a man's face that she is rich and he can do nothing to her.

Adeyinka123:
Fashola is redefining the political permutation. The Yorubas shall surely go for this instead. Better with the Southwest. A big mistake by Atiku.

How is it a mistake? Are you underestimating the combined voting power of the south east and south south who will very much likely be voting for Atiku?

BIAFRONIGERIAN:
Sometimes I wonder how white foreigners on this forum will look at the black man after browsing through stories coming from this part of the world.
To be frank if to say I be white I will just conclude that blacks are monkeys.

I hope it won't pain you when whites call you a monkey since you are admitting blacks are monkeys?

Mynd44:
How about number of children per men? If you want to limit the number of children woman have, it only makes sense to do so with men too seeing that a lot of times, men are the people who decide for the family

No need including men. Women are the ones giving birth so once you put a limit on women it takes effect on the population.

LoJ:
This is symptomatic of the fall of the African race. Even the queen who is supposed to be the embodiment of the great mother Osun is a preacher of white man's religion.

Who told you Christianity is a white man's religion? Jesus and his disciples who founded the religion are not even white men. Yes it was white men who introduced the religion to Africa but it still doesn't make it a white man's religion. Middle eastern men founded the religion and then converted white men, white men then converted Africans.

No No No sir
The most important thing is, things like this should be discouraged. There is no way the stew can be safe for human consumption having spent weeks on the sea, and days at the ports, and few or more days at the shops or mall before getting to the final consumer.

So how do tin tomatoes, Titus sardines and geisha spend weeks at sea and still remain safe for consumption? Stew can be preserved as well if the right preservation technique is used. In this case they probably didn't preserve it well.

Westaslave2:
no defending here! Do u knw hw many ladies who ar wt married men giving d man money 2 run his useless family! D table has turned

You can't defend this one. She is absolutely right.

Imported stew for lazy and ever working parents. Why won't cancer finish us in this country when we eat poison in the name of imported food

12345DKO:
We are our own problem. How can we import stew? The variety of stew we have in Nigeria, we can't taste all till we die and here some people are importing stew. Na wa for we Nigerians o

Horlaboy51:
What kind of fuckery is this now...
Nigeria is really a dumpsite for these foreign countries

Stew

Nigerians be prepared to see imported Eba!

Ehiscotch:
WTF!!

How can you import stew? What kind of humans do we have in Nigeria?

How did we get here? o:

Won't the stew have been spoilt. What manner of nonsense is this?

If Titus sardines and geisha are imported why not stew? If you have a problem with stew then tin tomatoes shouldn't be imported as well. The most important thing is for it to be safe for consumption.

Optional09:
This is the most stupid write up I have ever read, you’re not blaming the one killing innocent people but the one killed. You sound very cowardly submiting to your oppressor. Kanu is the reason federal government will want to build any infrastructure in the east that you will enjoy in the nearest future. Kanu is the reason Nigeria is considering Igbo vise and Igbo this that. Let him secure Biafra Ojukwu tried but failed, not because it’s was not the right decision but because of unfortunate circumstances. Now the time is right for Biafra to come to existence.

Who will loose millions of family and forget the cause of their death? Biafra needs to exist because Ojukwu went to war and he has the support of igbos

You don’t make sense

So your own writeup is actually the one making sense eh? You said you want Biafra so why are you still interested in benefiting from Nigeria?

She is right.
Same thing with wizkid, no one bats an eyelid that Wizkid has 3 kids from 3 different women but let a woman do it and she will experience hell on earth
They make too much excuses for men

I think the problem is women keep succumbing and bending to that dictation. Whenever women start possessing the boldness to do things that are actually part of their rights regardless of what people say then people will begin to understand it is a woman's right and they will eventually get tired of the demonizing.

deebrain:
No one stops you.

For a man, even his body to the day of his death can allow so many multiple partners. Its a case of self discipline (or religious angles) that go with one man, one wife as well as the responsibility that come with such.

A man is sexually irresponsible by nature.

For a woman aside age of productivity, every relationship takes so much of her personality. A woman wants the best of any relationship, hoping everyone will be her first and last.

She is sexually disciplined by nature.


But it's a free world. But at the end of the day the bobrisky approach might even be an option after the reproach that will definitely follow.

Even if you feel women are "sexually disciplined" in nature does it actually make it bad if a woman is not disciplined? If a woman is not "disciplined" it still shouldn't be a reason why she should be condemned. A woman should also have the same privilege as a man to have as multiple partners as she wants.
