Thou ,I think the ibos we always survive even without oil,they are all over the world and move businesses around the world .what am not really sure about is how some state who have virtually nothing to survive if all state are to manage their resources .unless there are some contributions to help the poor state ,we can't deny the fact that some state can't stand alone without support .so all this must be put into consideration when talking of restructure.





That's true, they call the North Unity Beggars, when in actual sense they are the real unity beggars. They're trying hard to coopt the Niger-Delta and States like Benue into their fictitious Biafra Republic, because of their resources and fertile lands, respectively. Their target is one, to colonize those people and dominate their resources, simple.

blackpanda:





All these are well and good in fantasy land. But very unimplementable. All these fantastic things u are writing are dependent on only one thing:oil.
Nigeria produces nothing and earns nothing except via oil. Most youths rather spend years submitting cv than look within and become entrepreneurs. Who will pay for your health and education sector improvement

In my opinion, governance is only one half of the problem. Attitudinal change is the other half. 90% of the people protesting will do even worse if given a chance

NEUDUDE:
Oga former SARS commissioner. You are no different than a monkey. I know an ordinary nursing practitioner, single with one son 17 in the US. The boy drives a 13M Land Rover did they swear for northerners with backwardness and extreme poverty. How do you even go far or progress with this kinda mindset. Dear God! Some people are just animals, Imagine an ex-comissioner oh, thinking like a monkey.

If we don't see our teenagers driving cars and progressing how then do we progress. If you keep thinking like this, how do you solve problems and make lives easier? So a 20-30 years old man is supposed to be trekking abi? You are big FOOL, your white mates are out there innovating and building the so called luxury cars for comfort and you are here spewing trash after you would be shouting white supremacists, don't they surpass you fools?

Vickmanny22:
first of all it is very illegally and unethical to check someone's phone because you suspect he might be a Thief or Yahoo boy, it is against the human right of that person. there are other ways you can investigate someone. the police and our banks should be working hand in hand so if there's any significant increase of money in someone's bank account the bank can alert the police, who in turn will call you in for questioning and if your answer is not satisfactory enough they can get a search warrant from a judge with good reasons then they can search your phone and house simple. they can do this without violating any bodies right.

Wizkid acted like a fool, for whatever reason never act or speak rudely to your elders especially as an Omoluabi

Burna boy dodged everything

Davido flew to Ghana to flex


But the drug addict Naira Marley and his Marlian thugs have pulled more publicity than anyone else in this EndSars saga, they surprised me by getting a dialogue with the IG and Police PRO

What they won't tell you is that the cost of loving in Switzerland is very high due to NGOs and other factors.


The increase is to ensure their citizens can meet up with the high cost of living. Rent, food, taxes gulp a lot.

every time we keep insulting our country this isn't fair...
let's appreciate what we have..

we compare ourselves with developed countries..

when only their defense budget alone can fund Nigerian budget 2 years none stop...
do we even have money... compared to them..

Most Africans sees Nigeria as the USA of Africa...

anybody can become violent, as everyone has a violent tendeson, when push much to the extreme to what they can take.

example is cat. when you are chasing a cat or a dog. and it get to block way where there is no more excape routes. the cat or dog will become violent to fight back.

same way a revolution start.

Mostly in western world ,men don't marry again.They have kids with women and just pay for child upkeep,and some even sign contract with ladies before having anything to do with her so that they won't end up losing all their life savings in lawsuit that favors women


When ubunja and Martinez9s complain about simps, it would seem as if they don't know what they're talking about.

Many western men aren't getting married anymore, hence the need for the law.
If men start circumventing that law they'll reduce the time limit to 2 years or 1 year.

Those outrageous laws were made by simp/beta men, to appease their goddess women.

This should open your eyes to how dangerous such men are. $50k a month you can imagine.
And some men are asking for such laws to be implemented in Nigeria.

Just to add,the pastor may not be fake but I think he allowed anger and bitterness take over him.sonetimes when couples argue ,they don't know what they are doing unless one has to submit ,the matter can escalate .imagine somebody who cannot even fight suddenly become aggressive during a quarell .when we give the devil a chance ,it can control ones life and imagination,men of God are humans and can also fall,am not here to judge the pastor but to condemn his act.Its a pity he allowed the devil get him The bible said we shud be angry and sin not ,we shud not give room room for the devil.eph 4:26











That is why I tell people that a Believer can be attacked anytime. Christians should understand that Redemption does not guarantee us immunity against attacks. A child of God is not a Superman. Our immunity is in the Blood and the reservoir of the word of the God in your spirit when troubles comes. Then we must continously deploy the twin weapon of Mercy and Grace ahead of you daily. Shalom

kikero:


I agree with you ,running electricity business for the Nigerian populace is bad business that no business man will want to venture into for now.Government is running at a loss ,why do you think that Nigerian business men like dangote don't venture into electricity generation to general public .it's because most people cannot pay for it because ,so even when they build small generating station,they supply to companies who can pay for it .The truth of the matter is that electricity production is expensive and not just as easy as people think .when you produce ,you have to maintain production ,today you are producing 5000, tomorrow vandalization and other factor has caused production to drop.some people don't just want things to be good in Nigeria.the problem is not only the government but bad people in the country.









Look, I blame the government too, many government agencies don't pay for power

But power has been in private hands since 2013.

And the problem is up till recently it cost 53 naira to produce one kWh of electricity. And we were paying 30 naira or less for that kWh

Add the fact that in some areas 40-50% of people were not paying their bills.

And before you about meter , people bypass their meters. And threaten disco workers who catch them.

Power is being run as a business. And we Nigerians are not paying enough for service. In fact government has has to bail out powe sector with 1 trillion naira yearly, and it is estimated they need one trillion naira more

You can call me a Buhari supporter. I am not. I don't even support PDP or APC. But one thing I know. If you were running a business and 50 percent of your customers did not pay for the things they buy from you you would be broke in months.

Let's get real.

TonyeBarcanista:
Those against CAMA Amendment are either ill-informed or mischievous.

In sane societies like USA, South Africa, UK, Europe, Australia etc, there are agencies that regulate religious organisations, CSOs and NGOs. Why should Nigeria's be different?

Some people said it is a fight against the church, and I ask, which Church?

If the Bible is right, the Church is the congregation of believers. It is not a building or religious organisation. And believers don't need any formal nomenclature or organisation to worship. The Bible says where two or three are gathered, CHRIST is present. The Bible never said people should establish organisations, neither did the early Christians establish organisations.

Now let's look this....

A man wakes up on a faithful morning, he approaches CAC (Government) to register his organisation, which he names XYZ Church

He lists himself, his wife, Kids or associates as Trustees

He gets certificate from the government to operate...

Yet, he argues with the government that they have no right to regulate the activities of the same organisation that he went to government to register.

He shouts persecution, war against the church and God.

Meanwhile, he is the final authority and CEO in the religious organisation, and won't hesitate to show the exit door to anyone that questions his authority.

The irony is that he abides to similar laws abroad...


As much as I'm not a fan of this administration, I support this CAMA... Although Nigeria politicians are useless

FACT:

FG or any other government cannot regulate the "Church" (congregation of believers). Even the Roman government couldn't regulate the Church.

However, government can only regulate religious organisations (formal organizations) that are registered with the government in line with the constitutional mandate.

The rule is simple, don't register your organisation with government if you don't want to be regulated... Same way you don't register your business and NGO with government if you don't want their regulation...

FacelessKing:
Nigerians are quite desperate people.

This desperation for success, though a good thing, is mostly badly controlled.

Every way na way for Nigerians.

That will be a free car my brother.

If this is true, because i have doubt that a J.s.s 2 drop out can write this okay. This appears scripted IMO.

Giving this writeup a benefit of doubt, You must be clear about the complete implication of giving your daughter up for adoption. To the religious hypocrites who are all just coming up with the one way religious solution, get down from the high horse, prayer without works is dead. A vicious cycle is a natural phenomenon until something practical is done to stem the tide. My practical advise is to save to sit and pass the Senior School certificate exams, give up your daughter for adoption legally to a home that can take good care of her. Channel your anger in to a deep thirst to succeed and break the vicious cycle. With at least a School certificate in the next 2 years, give yourself a goal of getting a degree before you clock 30 years. When yokes get broken, forces align you to succeed. Pray without ceasing. A vicious cycle does not get broken without a strong will to get it broken even if you pray 23hours a day.

ALEX182:
So I have this American patient who I recently came across. He's a fat dude who is like in his late 40s but has a very jolly and likeable character. I introduced myself and we got talking afterwards.

After a while of chitchat, he asked me where I was from. I told him to take a guess and he said said, you sound like you're Nigerian. I told him (regrettably) that I was Nigerian. He started smiling and told me that he had a Nigerian girlfriend and that we both had similar accents.

He then started telling me recent occurrences that had befallen his girlfriend in Nigeria. He said the lastest story was that she was in Abuja and as she was on her way to the airport in a taxi, the taxi had an accident and she was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the hospital. He said that the hospital demanded money before treatment started and he had to hustle about $4000 and send to her in order for treatment to start.

He said that after a week of her being in the hospital, they wanted to discharge her despite her still being in pain. Because she had exhausted all the $4000 on treatment, he said the hospital had threatened to discharge her on the streets and he was trying to borrow more money to see if he could send it to her so they could continue with her treatments.

He furthermore told me that the girlfriend said that she was a Nigerian American citizen who was currently stuck in Nigeria due to her passport having expired and also due to Covid lockdown at airports in Nigeria. He said she had asked him for $300 to renew her US passport from American embassy in Nigeria.

Another thing that he told me was that just before covid struck, there was a similar pandemic which happened in Nigeria early this year and that his girlfriend had contracted the disease and he had to send her $2000 for treatment. Right now he said he's broke but is waiting for like $2000 disability check from the US government next week which he will send to her as soon as the money clears.

As he was telling me this tale, I was so angry with Nigerians and how they take advantage of people in love to scam them. I wanted to swear for the scammers


I'm at a dilemma here. Do I tell him that he's being scammed by Nigerians or do I continue to be professional and just ignore it. Because I don't want him to think I'm involved with it because these oyinbo people can turn everything on your head and accuse you that is your people in conjunction with you that are scamming him. They are that crazy.

The good part of me wants to help him but I'm hesitant that it may turn out bad for me. Please matured responses.

SmartPolician:



Most people forget that some of this countries have gone thru very tough times before they got to where they are,do u know how Germany was after the 2nd war,they rose up to build their economy.you think they are happy to see foreigners come to enjoy what they laboured for.The bond in EU is very strong,Africans are not United,we complain of Nigeria,we ar yet to see other African countries .the western world are happy to see Africa underdeveloped, and African youth migrating to do odd jobs in europe and America,.no place like home ,make money and go back to develop your country.the sacrifice we make today is for our children not to be slaves to western world tomorrow

You see, I know that I have a strong connection with my home...that's why I may not be able to live elsewhere.

I think you people tend to lay emphasis on the positive aspects of living in the advanced countries while you downplay the downsides.

Sincerely, I love this country, and I don't want to live in a place where someone will have to constantly disrespect me because of my skin color or how our leaders have messed up our country.

I want to carry a passport that immigration officers from around the world would have some regards for.

If we all run away from this country, who will fix it? The place we are all running to, some people sacrificed their blood, time, resources and sweat to make it the envy of all.

Like I always tell people, the richest Nigerians live in Nigeria.

sexy74:


I think marriage shud be free from all form of interference,at an early age,couples shud be allowed to be alone irrespective of whatever the mother has done for him,he can still take care of her and she can always visit him anytime.when a third party is involved in marriage,there is bound to be clashes.like the wife not doing things to mother's standard.so it's better to avoid such,if the woman is not comfortable with the mother staying with them,she can even end the relationship and look for another person ,am a guy and won't support my inlaw coming to stay for long when marriage just start.asuming the woman self come say make her own mum come and stay ,is it not confusion,in-laws can come and visit, but to sit down permanent,no way lol

.

When it comes to age am older than you are,
I am talking based on wisdom and experience am not a social media bully, troll or warrior.
Am married and if you are, am older than you in marriage.
He staying with the mother or the mother staying with him is not an issue.
If you had said he does not have a trade or does not earn an income that would have been different but staying with the mum not an issue at all.
You don’t know what they might have gone through together .
I rest my case.
