I thought Seun recently posted a warning about making derogatory statements and religious bla bla bla in form of hate speech.

elasticlala: The main reason motor vehicles are now expensive is the Government. It is not the dealer nor dollar. I was planning of sending one car I bought for less than $2000 to my brother in Nigeria last month. Only to be told that it would cost me N4.7 million to clear.
To be honest, I think these prices of cars stayed here are still cheap and I doubt the integrity of the cars. If clearing a 2003 corolla is almost 5m, what about purchase and shipping? How is the total now possibly N6.2m
Government wakes up and kept increasing import duty on cars every day without considering the implications; useless fools. What exactly are they charging the items for? I bought a car with my money and shipped it with my money and you are charging me an amount that exceed the combination of both buying and shipping …does that make any sense ? Everyone is keeping quiet and nobody seems to be concerned.
Everyday I wake up, my heart curses whosoever are responsible for this senseless policies of hardship in Nigeria
More than 50% of people born in Nigeria who works and lives in Nigeria may never own a Tokumbo car nor a house in their lifetime even if they start working and earning money at age 10. |

Only in Nigeria; People dying like flies everyday for too many reasons. If a container is not falling on you, a stray bullet will kill you. If a stray bullet doesn’t, a current-carrying aluminum cable will fall on your shoulder, if that doesn’t happen, you will be kidnapped, or rubbed. If non of these happen to you, village people will take it upon themselves to ensure you don not grow old.
Those of you always asking for reasons to Japa, these are some good reasons; it’s not just about the money, you will be sure that things like these would not cut short your life.

Buccalcavity2: I have said it!. Deal with civil servants, you will curb corruption. Make sure any civil servant associated with any corruption finding is jailed... and automate processes to reduce human intervention, you will reduce corruption. That is the big problem. Because a thief cannot accuse another thief easily. Who is worthy enough to jail such person when police, DSS, NSCDC, NA, et al. are all headed by very corrupt individuals…? |

Politics › Who Are Those On Nairaland? by elasticlala(op): 1:38am On Jan 26, 2024 |
Engaging in various discussions on life's complexities often prompts profound contemplation about the diverse perspectives present on platforms like Nairaland. Having been an active member for several years, I cannot help but acknowledge the evolving nature of this online community. Initially, the landscape was markedly different, but over time, Nairaland has become a microcosm reflecting the moral fabric and societal ethos prevalent among Nigerians, both at home and abroad. As I navigate through the plethora of comments and viewpoints on Nairaland, a burning question consistently arises within me: Who are those on Nairaland?
Example: 1. Marriage Conundrum Consider, for instance, the discussions around marriage. A man expressing his intention to marry and detailing the efforts he puts into the relationship is often labeled a 'Simp.' Some boldly claim, "Only a fool marries Nigerian girls." However, my firsthand experience at Ikoyi Registry in December 2023 during my wedding got me really troubled. I was number 243 on the list despite how early I arrived the venue (that was just for a single day in 2023). This led me to ponder: Do Nigerian men still embrace marriage, even to Nigerian women? The enigma deepens: Who then are those on Nairaland?
2. Conflicting Views on Relationships Another perplexity lies in the contrasting perspectives regarding relationships. On Nairaland, Nigerian girls are often portrayed as undeserving of anything from their male counterparts. The prevailing sentiment suggests focusing financial resources solely on family and mothers. Yet, a stroll through Ikeja Mall or Just Rite paints a different picture. Men are consistently treating their companions to various items and indulging in a plethora of culinary delights. This incongruity prompts the question: Who are those on Nairaland?
3. Skepticism Towards Religion Nairaland fosters an environment where skepticism towards religion thrives. Every pastor is viewed as a religious scam artist, and the prevailing belief is that personal success is solely the result of hard work and luck. However, every Sunday in Nigeria witnesses road congestion due to the multitude attending various churches. This dissonance raises yet another inquiry: Who are those on Nairaland?
4. Ethnic Discord Adding another layer to the puzzle is the apparent ethnic discord between Yoruba and Igbo on Nairaland. Online discussions paint a picture of water and palm oil – a mixture seemingly impossible. Yet, in reality, you witness Yoruba and Igbo individuals marrying, engaging in business partnerships, challenging the very notion propagated online. This stark contrast begs the question: Who are those on Nairaland?
… the list goes on and on. ...you can add yours, if this question has ever come across your mind |
