Nothing to see here. Just future engineers undergoing a field project exercise. The government needs to find them, give them a 6-week orientation course and send them to work at Dangote Refinery. |
Charbliss90:This is the 10th year of APC rule and the country has nothing to show for it but you stupidly reduce it to 2 in defence of your useless tifnubu who we all know played a big role in the election of the fool Buhari, even encouraging him to print money as much possible without tying it to any productive endeavor, ushering the massive inflation we face today. You APC fools are utterly stupid. |
LegendHero:The danger of a single story. Tifnubu's supporters are all plagued by a collective sense of historic amnesia, where stability of the naira prior to the ascension to power of their principal was nonexistent, while also conveniently failing to recall the free-fall that occurred during the first twelve months of the administration. |
Among the three ardent fighters for Nigeria's independence in the '50s, Awo was indisputably the smartest. There is no room for contention in that regard as every student of Nigerian history will attest to its veracity. What, however, cannot be ignored is the fact that Awo, as brilliant as he was, spun the fibre of the contemporary unbridled tribalism that has become so intricately woven in every layer of the fabric of the Nigerian society, be it religion, politics, or even business. His deliberate misrepresentation of the Western Premiership election as an ethnic battle rather than a clash of political ideals, where the contestant with the best ideal-constituent fit wins betrayed his highly coveted western education, portraying him as a man not at all dissimilar to thugs-turned-politicians ever so ready to fight dirty to achieve a political goal. His nefarious strategy worked so well that decades down the line, the average Nigerian still fails at placing policy as the highest priority when casting their vote. Our so-called founding fathers were blessed to occupy the unique position of steering the path of a soon-to-be Independent country to greatness, eschewing the backward tenets of tribalism that left them the biggest failures in the globe, but ultimately chose the sinister path that leads to doom like their fathers before them. Awo, being the smartest, surprised me even more by adorning a XXL clown costume. Perhaps his failures to achieve his lofty political goals, evidenced by his constant adulation of George Washington and Winston Churchill, was a karmic response to the active role he played in ensuring that the future of his countrymen centuries down the line amounted to nothing. |
Necklace these beast incarnates. If your hand itches to do something with a camera while they're in transit to the destination of their 72 virgins, set it to selfie mode. |
ophili:Has it truly crashed? |
This guy is incredibly smart and has been on my radar for a while now. The ronus, however, will find him underwhelming because hatred, tribalism and nazi-like rhetoric are not the building blocks of his character, neither are narcissism and a strong desire for unfettered adulations from the plebians, of which the vast majority of the ronus are, though in their delusions of grandiosity think themselves the inverse, a staple of his diet needed to function. |
Gerrard59:Emmizay12 Your attention is needed here |
Reminds me of a youtube short by Zach D. Films about a woman who had a tree fall on her as she slept at night, rendering her unable to move as the branches kept her trapped to her bed, until emergency responders arrived to haul it off her. That woman was incredibly lucky. RIP to the deceased. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/md2GHHSxYjU |
dederocs:You don't pay for my data. You didn't pay for my phone. You certainly don't pay for the electricity bill or the fuel I use in charging my phone to make my comments. Don't even for a second think that you are in a position to decide what I should or shouldn't post. And from what I've noticed, the only people that sarcastic political comments burn are the ones who, in one or another, have supported the disastrous policies implemented by this administration. If not, why get offended when I throw the consequences of their idiocy back to their face? It's the same way the ronus felt a hot sting in their throats anytime people made the comment: "it will be well for me and my family." You know who you are. |
Bandits are our future doctors and engineers. A simple rehabilitation course is the only thing needed to inspire change and make them abandon their evil ways. |
What can't the mind of the average black navigate beyond just thoughts of food? I was arguing with an idiot here some months back that a nation can't build wealth in today's world without making trading deals with richer countries and he retorted that we have rich soils to grow our food and that's all that's necessary. Lack of thinking even a mile ahead of our immediate wants and needs is why we're here today. |
OriOko88:E no go fit ever happen. I sure for that one diiiie |
OriOko88:Even if there manage scale Madrid, omo this one no fit happen. I ready baf naked for middle of expressway. Arsenal win UCL? Ogwefia! |
APOPTOSIS:Lol Just drawing conclusions from previous patterns my guy |
Angelfrost:Your bias is so obvious I don't even know what to say man |
This is going to be a short-lived glory for the gunners; a feeling they're well accustomed to. The second leg in the bernabeu will be mightily bloody for them in ways that words will fail to describe. |
Jesus! Madrid is finished. I hate Arsenal die |
Where they see trouble, I see promise. It's basically a 'half empty-half full' issue, and only ipobs and other enemies of Nigeria will see it as 'half empty'. The governor need not worry for the state is only losing ground to future doctors, engineers, bankers, teachers, pilots, etc. All that's needed is a 6-week rehabilitation course, culminating in a final 2500-word essay composition assignment titled - "Why I should not be a terrorist" - and all will be fine. |
This is Tinubu's Lagos functioning as intended. Its foundation firmly erected on the soil of thuggery, roof kept in place, buttressed by strategically-placed pillars—all to protect its actors from the collapsing, pulverizing power of justice they rightfully deserve. A well-oiled engine with so many moving parts, powered by the highly combustible fuel of corruption. Raise a hand in protest and you'll soon find yourself engulfed in the flames of unjustified political reprisals. |
Even the heavens are aware that the cup of the herdsmen and their cattle have overflown. |
The Naira lost approximately 233% of its value over the past year. An increase in revenue by 140% only shows that they didn't even make as much as they did in the previous fiscal year. It seems that Tinubu's plan, as the erudite Deloitte accountant he purports to be, was to significantly devalue our currency so that the average number-illiterate nigerian would see the huge increase in local currency, that means nothing, as something laudable. |
So much stating, condemning and reporting, all with zero plans for a decisive action. What will it take for the governors of the afflicted states to come together, forming a bloc to sway the president's hands with threats of standstill of critical operations if effective actions are not carried out to obliterate these groups? But no. If the consequence of forming these blocs is not for the swelling of their own pockets instead of the protection of the very people they swore to protect, they will see no need for forming one. |
You can see the deliberate perversion of the narrative in this line: Relations between northern and southern Nigerians are fraught following years of clashes between northern animal herders and southern farmers over access to water and grazing land, which have left thousands dead. The authors of this article intentionally framed it so, subtly twisting the reality of the situation solely to portray the innocent Southern farmers, who have been brutally raped, maimed and killed for years with impunity, their only crime being going about their day earnestly working on THEIR own farms—a distinction craftily blurred to deceive the uninformed—to earn their daily bread, as equal combatants in the conflict, instead of as being the only true victims in this situation. The authors and BBC themselves are not as slick as they think themselves to be. |
Iceberghill:So you're a perpetrator of equal magnitude as him? |
Was almost getting angry and worried when I read the title but it's all good now. The victims here were innocent people and not armed hausa terrorists, so there's nothing to fear. We only throw a fuss when criminal groups face street justice and not when they pillage farm lands, rape the women and slaughter the men and their sons. |
Akpabio's supporters argue that he apologized to the Senate when he was called to order for his infraction. If true, then it changes everything. |
South Asia as a region is cursed with endless natural disasters that almost always culminate in steep death tolls. Anytime you hear of an earthquake or a tsunami from that part of the world, you can be sure that end result would be catastrophic. RIP to the departed. |
You need to leave that safe where the money was drawn from perpetually open; remove the hinges of the door for surety if need be, because there'll even be more families to distribute to in the coming months. |
Had no idea we had a 27% tariff on US goods |
anonimi:It's deeply insulting to these countries that Nigeria is considered an equal aspirational peer. Brazil's foreign reserve, for example, is almost twice our GDP. The World Bank, as accurately as they try to be, are still way too optimistic in their analysis when compared to the reality on ground and the obstacles facing the average Nigerian. |
frankmoney:The numbers they quote is nothing but a fine illusion to deceive the gullible, spearheaded by the intentionally obtuse, like the OP and helinues, in the hope of spinning a false narrative. Strip away the ornate phrasings deliberately used to craft this report and the gold-coated feces would crumble under its own weight. |
