I don't really blame buhari.i blame the British.it really sad the way folks think in Nigeria.The first thing is to check what the constitution says ,this is when we can know if it's wrong or not.secondly,Nigerians are hypocrite .many people shouting are guilty of such things .you see somebody given an official car ,he uses it for family use.The driver picks up his wife and kids from airport and takes them to market.its the norm in Nigeria,u see somebody using official time for private matters and thesame people will be blame buhari for everything when it's the usual practice in naija.i blame the British cos this is the system they introduced to nigeria.in Nigeria ,some benefits are attached to some positions such as official cars ,number of staff and servant .this are according to the constitution .even some senior civil servant are entitled to fleets of cars and drivers.when the British left,these laws were not ammended.its surprising that if you go to Europe today,u will hardly see senior civil servant driven by drivers or entitled to so many staff or servant .it's is the reverse in Nigeria,where you see in 50 people in a small office serving one person.so we need to go back to the law.the president can only explain the reason behind his motive.if it's wrong according to the law,it's wrong ,if not let everyone hold their peace.

Bringing up a child is not only the responsibility of the parents,the society and other factors play a role.a child spends 8 hours in school ,he is influenced also in the school ,even a well trained child can be spoilt in the midst of a bad friend at school.a badly trained child can be influenced also in a good school.in general,a child that will be bad will be bad.i have seen children with good upbringing become way ward when they have opportunity to go away from home .they are good at home and a different thing at school.It only take prayer and close marking to bring up a good child ,so I can't blame the mother if she has done her part by bringing up the child in a good way parent only do their best to bring up a child in a good way,it is left for the child to decide if he or she will accept good upbringing .I am afraid of the present young Nigerian generation,you can't really point to any good role model in today's world. In those days ,we had people will admire and want to be like.now ,the young people want to be like Marlians,davido,WizKid .you can see anybody that says he want to be a successful surgeons .our youth are not incline into other areas apart from music ,is there no role model in other areas.it will be disastrous if all our youth turn out to be Marlians and we don't have doctors ,lawyers engineers for tomorrow.

Sometimes some people ridicule nigeria because they have not gone out,when you ask nigerians abroad.they will tell you know place like home.even as bad as Nigeria is,it's still a good place .Every country has its own problem.The best place to make money is Africa,not abroad.Every cent you make abroad goes back to their economy.you work your life out to sustain their economy.while Nigerians are sleeping ,some of the people working abroad are already at work.do you know people wake up so early to work in some places doing tedious work and sleep late and because they send you money .you think life is easy for them.Do you know how many work some Nigerians are doing to survive .do you know the kind of racism they go thru.do you think they are given hundred percent opportunities abroad.some spend several years abroad with nothing to show.do you know there are many people who have spent 30 years abroad without having houses abroad.they build house in Nigeria and when they build house.do you think many can afford to build a house in banana island .I am not saying some cant afford it.the truth is that most Nigerians abroad are just average people abroad and not extremely rich

Blessed on your comment, while someone just said it's better to live on the bus in UK then live at banana island. It's well. [/quote]

Hmmm,how many people stay in mansion in europe.do you know what it cost to own a mansion in Europe.how many Nigerians staying abroad can afford to buy a house in banana island .some Nigerians think Europe or living abroad means life is easy or money falls on road.if you are in nigeria and can afford to live in banana island.coming abroad may be suffering.The truth is that there are some people in Nigeria doing far better than those abroad

Can you read thru what you wrote,if you experienced it.you will know it's not better.i met somebody like that,I will tell you that it's the worst kind of life you can think even for your enemy.do you know the temperature outside in Europe ,do you know know how cold it is .do you think there are no crime in UK or europe.do you think you are 100 percent safe as a black in Europe .when you have a roof over your head ,you need to thank God and not be saying sleeping in bus is better than staying in a mansion in banana island.not many people experienced what he experienced and survived it .they died of cold and one disease or the other.sometimes I wonder the way Nigerians think







And do what? To come and face harsher one here now we have Buhari as a president.
Presently, sleeping in Buses in UK is far better than sleeping in a mansion in Banana island, Lagos.
Serene environment, security fully at alert, good paying jobs to sustain, no stray bullets from untrained policemen, but in Banana island, flood fit come your bedroom come carry you enter sea.[/quote]

It's really sad nowadays with tenants,even some well todo tenants even complain and blame buhari and government for not paying their rent.its discouraging to even build house if you don't have the madness to follow crazy tenant.The law favours them when you go with the law.i think the law shud be reviewed and there should be a union of landlord who can take the matter to the state House of representatives for an ammendment of the law.where there is loop hole,a good law should favour both sides.its morally wrong for a tenant to stay without paying his rent and even brag about it .Even thou there are some crazy landlord too.the law should be fair to both parties

I agree with you .Nigeria is one of the biggest in terms of population in West Africa and also in Africa.Rushing to take a decision will affect a majority of people and also generations to come.so it's better for the government to contact all expert including all those we have in world Bank like Ngozi okonjo for necessary advice before joining any thing.




For now the Nigerian Government has made the most sensible statement. Don't commit to any side and observe for now. The Government is on point...Don't forget to read up [/quote]

It's not how much a man earn that matters but his zeal and determination.if you see a zealous man,thou he may not be earning much but one can see that the future is very bright for him.when I interview people and ask them some questions,I can predict to some degree of accuracy what the future may be like .money is deceitful but it's what you have upstairs that matters,marriage is not only about the man I have seen men who were nothing before marriage and then the luck and blessing of be married opened doors,even some children bring luck into marriage ,it's good to work hard ,hard work and focus matters more .even a foolish lazy man with no vision can lose an inheritance within days sometimes the African mentality means the man must carry all the load,how can the modern day woman be shouting equal right and does not want to share equal responsibiilty.in Europe,where there is equal right among both sex,responsibility are shared.the man pays the rent and the woman takes some other responsibilities.if a man earn 30k and the both have an agreement on how to survive with it,no problem. There is no problem with starting with 30k but the problem is remaining in 30k without vision or focus or improvement.

quote author=lilwetdick post=85343502]this is just nonsense

this what i hate to read, the pity and emotional game, the story that everything can end just in a day.

getting rich and going broke is a process, it just not start and end in a day

but how can you be earning 30k and be in marriage.

i cant allow a man earning 30k to marry my sister..simple as abc[/quote]

The thing na African mentality.even in Europe,people don't have so much children except the migrants from Africa and Asia and some poor Europeans migrants who see it as a means of collecting child benefits on monthly basis.honestly ,raising up so many children is not easy even abroad,when you have children.There are lots of things you cant do again because there are lots of responsibility attached to it.





quote author=uninspired07 post=85298727]

The issue is not even having many children, but having them in a failed country like naija, which makes it harder to evacuate them in a crisis situation or when the country descends into a civil war. I talk like this because I am very observant & I pay attention to the political happenings in Nigeria & I know the country is on a very precarious state & will not get better any time soon.[/quote]

I think it's a good idea.the rich shud pay more tax.it works that way in Europe ,when you earn more ,u pay more tax.this discourages people from stealing and amassing wealth just look at Germany ,if you work too much and earn much,you have to pay much tax,nobody will tell you before you reduce your work.its not a bad idea ,the only bad thing is what to do with the tax and how to prevent stealing of such tax.If we want our country to be like Europe ,we need to pay tax like Europe .the tax makes the system work , everything is taxed.if we have billionaires ,senators etc,they shud pay huge tax to bridge gap between rich and poor







quote author=Conceptman post=84993429]Wahala wa de baayi o(problem don com start now) if you task the rich mercilessly, won't it affect the poor when the rich ones stop giving and sharing with the poor in the name of heavy Tax by government, odikwa next level indeed [/quote]

People are quick to condemn people in our society .some people find themself in some shit ,they don't want to be in some find them stealing , prostituting,crime etc they try to struggle to come out,people call them all sort of names but God sees them in a different view.This is not to justify crime or prostituting.moral is for us to judge people only when we try to understand why they do things .I think the guy also had a role in her life .when some people come in to your life ,they bring some things ,good or bad.i think the appearance of the man into the woman brought a turn around and they were destined to helped each other.

Some of this single mothers don't know the implication of what their doing.Na so one day my neighbour pikin sit him mama down and begin to ask her some questions.this is only a six year old boy,he asked his mother that why is it that everybody's father is always there ,why is his own father not around,he even tell him mama say me am always with my child.i felt embarrassed.children ask lots of questions and sometimes singles mothers lie to cover the reasons they are separated.But the truth will always be known later.children love to see new things ,one day the child go tire for him mama and say he wants to see his father.even his father na criminal,the bond of attraction will see attract.there are lots of things a woman can never teach her son and which only a man can teach him,she can never teach him how a man relate with a woman because she is never a man,so many things which only a man can do.so always there are some things which a man can never teach a child,it can only be taught by a woman.so make we no decieve our self.God knows why he called it a family,man,woman and children every one get him own role.

Normally,I won't have replied to this.But my advice may look foolish.you need to know what you are entering into.i would advice you as somebody staying in Germany.i would not say marrying a German is bad,you need to know who you want to marry and what she does for living.Marrying a white woman may not be the best thing that can happen to you,you need to know about the conditions and terms involved in what you are about entering to.if you marry the wrong German ,your life could be very miserable,worst than what you are going thru in naija.u would need to endure any shit she does,dont expect her to give you money,not their culture.unless she is not a typical german,if u are doing it to get out of Nigeria,u have to understand that if the marriage breaks within a space of 3 years,u are back to nigeria.these white women have different mood,they change anytime,so you have to be prepared for what you are about entering into.The worst thing that can happen to a man is to have is life dependent on a woman,so think very well before you enter into it and don't rush.i saw a lot of folks asking you to rush into it,I will ask you to plan well,look at it from all angles,do your research,look at the worst case scenario.Some guys said their friends did it,but this people will never tell you what they are going thru.Life is luck,u can never tell what the whole thing has for you .I have told you my church mind and I don't care what others think about it.u need A1 German
language certificate if she is German and you are coming as a family member,it may take you 6 months as the while matter will go thru some investigations from the embassy.she can only bring you if she meets the German requirement ,has an accomodation for 2 and financially ok.so you need to be clear about what she does for living.Not all German are rich.most live average life
