very good with PR.. I have been to the shithole twice ... apart from Kigali; nothing to even jot about..

Wow, so you have been there twice, wonderful, haven't been to any East African countries though, but I definitely know Rwanda is overhyped.

I never trust the media, showing us some dope pictures from Kigali doesn't mean Rwanda is developed, I can also show you some super dope pictures from Nigeria.

If you say South Africa is better than Nigeria, I wouldn't have argued, but Rwanda? hiannnnnnn.

Astark:
GDP, nominal GDP? We have high GDP because we have oil and huge population to access the common market.

This is how to know which country is better

1)roads
2)education
3) power
4) standard of living
5)health
6)security
7)transportation

Rwanda and other countries I mentioned beat us in all these developmental index. Nigeria is really backward even with all these oil wealth and huge resources and population

Taking about developmental index, Nigeria is ranked higher than Rwanda, Rwandans don't have better standard of living than Nigerians, I don't know who is deceiving you, but life in Rwanda doesn't start and end in Kigali.

They are facing epileptic power, about 50% of Rwandas haven't seen power for some time.

Transportation? How are they better than Nigeria, are you mistaking Rwanda for Ethiopia?

Education is very debatable.

Astark:
lol these Nigerians that never left their shithole always making mouth.

The following countries are better than Nigeria.
South Africa
Egypt
Tunisia
Algeria
Libya
Rwanda
Botswana
Kenya
Ghana
Seychelles

Their capital Kigali is beautiful and neat no doubt, but Rwanda is still no where close to us In terms of GDP (per capital and nominal) and HDI. Even in east Africa they are not among the top 3.

Rwanda is highly overrated and overhyped by some of you, I understand your dislike for the country, believe me, I'm also mad at our stupid leaders, but common, Rwanda?

What you see online is just a mirage.

leofab:
Over hyping of a tiny struggling nation

Don't spoil the fun sister, with the way the media is hyping this country, only lord knows if what they say about them is true, but one thing is certain, they are good at what they do at the media.

David EJOOR was a very brave soldier, he didn't give in to treat and was bold to say NO to the request of others despite him having few loyal men on his side.

contumely2:
I am a man in late 20's.
I grew up in lack. I suffered so much growing up. In fact, at a point the court had to eject us and threw our properties on the streets for inability to pay rent.

School fees were paid in instalments. Not like the fees were much even. But the funds were never there.


God has blessed me reasonably in the past few years. I made a lot of sacrifices too, denying myself pleasure, delaying gratification etc.

Lately, I noticed that I have been extravagant. Some of the extravagance is masked as charity to people.

I hardly say no requests and I empathise and pity people a lot.

If I lend money to 10 persons, only 3 will pay back.

I also buy some things on impulse; without planning. I regret some of these purchases later.

HOW DO I STAY motivated so as to save more to invest because the future is uncertain. And money is not always there?

I also understand that those we help may abandon us in time of need.

I don't want to learn the hard way.

Kindly share your experiences with grace to grass; or with people you helped in times of plenty.

Or your regrets with finances especially early in life.

Thanks!

Start a project, you already said they ejected you from your house when you were young. Do you have a permanent roof over your head now?

Some of us are not good at saving, so the best way to go about this is to have something going on for us.

WarriAproko:
Remove delta cuss Na keke full here

Asin en, they expect us to keep forming big men meanwhile nothing on ground for our youths.

We hate telling ourselves the truth in Nigeria, infact the entire country cast.

Delta State You mean Area?
Let me not fall our hand online.

dermmy:
He went to the sacred mountain to curse America or what?

To tell his forefathers that trump has sent him a new love letter

ornicus:
Nigeria is a multi ethnic and multi religious society. As such Muslim Women should have the choice to wear hijabs in school or the workplace if they want to.

Nigeria is also a multi ethnic / religious country, and those who love to drink alcohol should do so in any part of the country, the idea of Sharia law in some part of the country reeks of stupidity and hypocrisy.

EzekaUdenee:
you see why I love Christianity
this is the same babaric religion people are clamoring for us to go back

Stop demonizing our traditions because you are a Christian, the place your holy book originated from, did something worst than this.

FarahAideed:
Nigerians are making me to hate the word prayer the way the abuse it in their grand hyprocrisy ..Like Racoon asked oga did you pray before approving 5.5 billion naira for new cars you don't need ?

These are the stupid people ruling us, I weep for my people.

senatordave1:
Ibori nko? Were looking at relative bases

Ibori? although better than his successors, I still rate him below bar, you need to know these guys had the resources and opportunities to better our lives, but they did nothing, aside constructing some few roads, they all looted the treasury to zero.

None deserve our praise.

Best Governor? in my opinion, NONE.

healthserve:
You're right Saudi is third.

A prove that military toys doesn't determine military success, their rival has been under tough sanctions for decades, with little or no backings from western countries, yet Saudi Arabia is still battling to protect her territory.

pansophist:
Same scientific publications that said Africans (men and women) are the least intelligent of race and have about half of the whites and Asian IQ?

Does it occur to you that it has nothing to do with black women, but the society they grew up in that didn't invest much in education and structure its system in a way that promotes intellectualism? Does it not also occur to you that it is the men that ruled Nigeria for so long, creating such society these women you demean grew up in?

Allying with people that wrote shit about your women doesn't make you smart, or make them see you as smart, it makes them see you equally as dumb as well. You came out from a black woman also (assuming you are a black man), is your mum dumb as well? Shame on you.

They just look for any reason to attack our ladies, just sad reading some posts on this platform about ladies.

grandstar:
Economists won't agree with you in respect of China

As for Iran, the targeting of Saudi's Oil installations was an act of desperation by someone pushed to the wall. Trump reduced them to nothing. What the U.S did was unfair but Iran too was becoming too meddlesome.

With Iran's access to less money, I doubt it will have enough funds to maintain the present military strength. It cost lots of money to fund proxy wars in Yemen and Syria for instance. No be beans. It cost money to fund Hamas, Hezbollah and its factions in Iraq.

Iran didn't target Saudi's oil installation, Houthis did, did you just said Trump has reduced Iran to nothing? you mean NOTHING?

The current sanction on Iran is becoming useless, Even the previous sanctions that were supported by major countries couldn't cripple Iran for decades, is it just few years of sanction that will turn them to nothing?

Sanction is even more of a blessing than a curse to the republic, though it has some negative impact on the life of the average Iranians, it brought out the best in them.

OP, Why didn't you censor her face?

Sanchez01:
Lol! I think the problem is from their head. Kanu brags a lot about how his group will corner any Nigerian politician, particularly 'Jubril' outside Nigeria. Unfortunately, IPOB is made of uneducated, unenlightened and brash folks who don't know what the brain is for.

I would have loved that they are rounded up and deported to Nigeria with the DSS waiting in the wings at the airport. Nonsense humans they are.

Kanu? do people still take him seriously? someone that lies about everything, I recently found out he made some of his followers believe he has international backing, maybe that's what is making them act this stupid.

I just feel for the innocent ones that will suffer for the actions and inactions of that young man.

Sanchez01:
As much as Buhari is useless, it is the duty of the country hosting him to protect him should they perceive any threat and we all know IPOB is not only uncouth but lack tact. Should they leave them on that spot, it won't take long before they start seeking Buhari to beat him.

It is even strange that only one rubber bullet dispersed them. And someone will tell me these guys are not cowards? Lol!

They don't know how international politics work, they think any one cares about their feelings and emotions. They are going about this whole struggle the wrong way, they are lucky this is SA, try this in any west African country and see if they won't be shot with live bullets.

saaron:
They are not untouchable. Their enemies bomb their oil facilities few weeks back.

When I said untouchable, I meant to say that the west can't do anything about their terrorism, they just look the other way round.

Boko Haram, ISIS etc are all direct children of Saudi Arabia, it's an open secret, every one knows that, but can't do anything.

Saudi Arabia is untouchable, this is just the bitter truth.

MrFourSHIRTS:
[s] It's an eye sore seeing matured men running with legs the size of a cow's curving roughly into a yam. These men Hawking gala and fan yogo under rain and hot sun leaves one to wonder where they are from. What's their history, if they have any? And why do they troop in their hundreds in to Lagos and upsetting their hosts ? A scholarly research needs to be done on this.
It breaks my heart when I drive or walk through Lagos and see them everywhere speaking like rapping with a mixture of broken-english adorned in heavy consonants.
I believe, with the political cum economic reforms Sanwo is introducing, street hawking should be prohibited so as to bring about huge tax inturn and prevent tax evasion to the nearest minimum. The LAGOS LAGOON NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED [/s]

People are hustling to make a living, you are here saying this, please have some sympathy, will you provide job for them if you stop their little business?

Worst post I have seen this week.

GeoAfrikana:
Religious hate is also a crime.

Imagine if an aboki tore Bible sheets into a sewage tank in Anambra state.

It might not look serious to you but a person who can do such to a people's sacred book can also do worse to the people who owners of the book - if the opportunity is available.

You get what I'm trying to say?

Oga you are not making sense, when I was in primary school, we do see pages of the Bible on the floor and sewage and no one blinks, the governor didn't shut down the entire school.

Stop justifying rubbish, I'm angry reading this BS, and it's even more sad you find nothing wrong with this, we place too much on religion that we forget that humanity and our needs come first.

Zamfara has one of the highest out of school children in the country, poverty rate is 91%, and what's troubling the governor is a certain holy book?

Weti they sup with una self.

kemicalreaction:


I think they intentionally kept their military that way in fear of a military overthrow of the royal family

You are not far from the truth bro, i think it's a deliberate effort, because they have no reason to be this weak.

Appleyard:
Suadi Arabia is a toothless bulldog. Even my grandmother in the village fight better than them. I remember watching a video where Saudi ground troops took to their heels like chickens, leaving their armoured vehicles and weapons behind.I have never seen such a sight of cowardice in my life. Car and leg,which one is suppose to be faster? But the Saudis said it ia legs and they ran away on foot from an advancing unit of houthis rabels. The only thing going for them is that they have jets. Otjerwise, they would have beenbbeaten black and blue.Very pathetic bunch.

Lol, I really laughed hard reading this. But what do you expect from princes with poor training, no will power, highly undisciplined and being led by a 30 years old army general who have never lifted a gun in his entire life?

They just have 1st world guns, jets, tanks & SAMs with 3rd world military training and poor leadership.

nams77:
Where you use as hall? Mother of redemer church at airport junction get hall for back. In 2014 when my niece did her wedding, na there she use. Between30-50k. Just book early.
A friend used great friendship hall in okere ugborikoko road( 25k).
There a hall opposite Robinson plaza in one of those street off emebiren, hall na 25k
Guy, as at 2014, my niece run hers with 700k circa. Dont know about now wey bubu dey seat and bag of rice na 20k plus.
We minimise so much. The groom suit was 15k. (Bespoke. Na my tailor sew am) The guy man no even buy new shoe. Him use d one him get before. I can't say so much here.

Cc: efewestern

I get you bro, my church (Catholic) in Warri gives hall for parishioners at the rate of 50k while 30k for open field, if you are not a member of the church, you pay 80k.

A tailor did a suit for my guy who got married last year October for 18k, men the suit bam die, life na just sense, no go do pass yourself. With 700k, an average guy can do a wedding, you don't need to spend millions, no go they out fear for people mind.

They are mercenaries, Saudi Arabia doesn't have much booth on ground and Houthi claimed they captured 500 men.

It seems Houthi is now going offensive, observing how things play out.

Andyblaze:
This is the visual to a brand new single by Andy Blaze and it is actually his first visual offering in the music industry.
Dropped due to popular demand and increased airplay for the audio which got out months ago, this is clearly a step in the right direction and with a dramatic inplay to keep you captivated, this is one video you sure wanna watch.

Enjoy below

Nice track.

nams77:
Better oil dey ur head. There are cheaper halls joor. Don't know about lagos, but in Warri , couple of years ago, my niece got a hall for 30-50k. Not your flashy and paradise kind of stuff. Just hall.
I told her that wedding is just a days event but marriage continues. No go use money wey una go take survive for one year take do marriage o, body go tell you later.
All this little children forming posh and throwing themselves into debt

Las las na like 600-700k dem take run every

In the same Warri, KFT Place charges about 500k-1.5m, Emmanuex about 600k - 1m, even in that Lagos, one can get a cheap hall of 100k, it's just that most people love living above their means.

Like you said, it's just a one day event, one shouldn't bleed his pocket just so others can be happy, in every location, there are cheap and expensive halls.

YorubaHero12:
But Israel started deporting blacks not too long ago even after your kinsmen claimed black Jews.

Mention me when Israel give any of you guys a visa to their country even after you keep famzing them day by day by claiming Jewish origin.

Do you get the correlation? Saudi or Israel do not give a bleep about Africa. The earlier we start understanding the fact, the better for all of us.

Leave them, they should keep deceiving themselves, I sincerely do not know what a black man is doing in Saudi Arabia, Israel or any of these Middle East countries. They hate us as F.

Worst is that our useless leaders keep pouring our hard earned money into sponsoring some people to these same nations. We mumu die.

illitrate:
The only failure I sense here is your biased inability to sense the politics in this. Dont you think the us and saudi needed a reason
to deploy troops and also play with the global oil prices?
Even the us knows Iranian weapons were used but iran is not responsible, Saudi alone can pound yemen to the ground but the objective
has already been achieved. Now us troops in saudi and the UAE and also more weapons which means America has sold more stuff.
You fail to note how trickish the USA is, even Russia cannot openly brag against the USA as iran does. The Iranians use these threat as
deterrence but in a real scenario they west will cripple them in no time.

@bolded, where did you hear this from? Saudi Arabia pound Yemen? Objective has already been achieved?

Do you know the root of this crisis to start with? Have they been able to cripple Houthi? Have they been able to impose their puppet on Yemenis? What's up with you guys and your comments.

Secondly Iran is not even bragging, there is no way you can defeat Iran without not crippling all countries in the region, the consequences will be too much for the US to bear, reason for all these restraints from Trump, believe me, no one fights a potent enemy.
