Does it matter. Most terrorists in Nigeria are foreigners.

It does.

Kemetian:
''SANER CLIMES''.

I wonder what people would say if this happened in Abuja.

Many would say it's a sign Nigeria is failed and needs to break up.

But it happens in Italy and some are hailing it as 'Hollywood stuff'.

Next thing they'll suggest making a movie out of it.

Mssheww..

You would be surprised it was carried out by those from "3rd world" countries.

Once thing I notice about Nigerians is our never ending craze for external validation.

It has its positives and negatives. When you want us to keep forging ahead and never playing local, it is a good thing. In fact, I acknowledge it here



But in the quote above, if you listen to Mo Abudu, I am glad she has now found out that we don't need any international validation, let's build our own. Now that's where government comes in. Unfortunately, the government has not made the people proud of these contributions. For instance, Nollywood practitioners complained about government neglect. It was not until 2014 when the government of Jonathan recognized them and the Minister of Finance, NoI included this sector in our GDP. Our government does not appreciate art, so invariably, people will go outside and work for those who will recognize them and their work. Unfortunately, you cannot tell a story if you are not the owner. Those international people are continuing a post colonial legacy and they will continue to be a gatekeeper for our own stories.

The other part for me is that Nigerians are fond of show off. So international is a bragging right. That's why we are crazy about Grammys, Emmys and all manners of awards that do not belong to us!

Until the black ants have a leader, they will continue to remain confused. Write your own story and own it.

While validation might be a reason I also think it has to do with that so many bad news about the country. So when a good news happens it is kind of relief and a thing of joy for Nigerians.

The secret is PDP’s deregulation and privatisation policies as well as the increased power generation, which APC unfortunately have failed to sustain.

We thank God that PDP deregulation and prosperity politicians added1,400 Mws to the grid unlike their APC chochocho balablu fake promises opponents.

High on promises but too low for zero on delivery. That is All Promises Cancelled, APC.

I didn't know that. So after all APC did they can't even be on PDP's level?! Interesting

During the first six months of General Buhari, power supply was great without him doing nothing. What was the secret then?

fineboynl:
many people dont even know of her in arrica and the rest of the world. Not many people even know any of her songs. And you are comparing her to davido. There are politics in those grammy and by merits.

I don't know where you live but Tyler's song are played a lot by some demographics especially oyinbos who created the awards.

Is he using state money or?

Racoon:
Concorde came fast and disappeared so fast beyond its time. The would would wish it is still in existence.

The crash in Gonnese France on the 25th of July 2000, rising operational cost and post 9/11 in the US became its albatross. However, many hearty congratulations to BA and AF for this piece of technology.

Yeah. Why about bringing this kind of plane back- This time 1x or 1.5x speed?? I fancied the concord back then.

Kanwulia:
Yet Nigerians have “visa bans ” to the US, while Trump can send “emissaries” at will to Nigeria?

Na who give dem visa?

This life sha!

Visa Ban doesn't mean some dignitaries can't get in.

madridguy:
People like Ilhan Omar wouldn't be a lawmaker in Minnesota if the USA government and other western power didn't plan the removal of Siad Barre's government in Somalia.

Your action led Somalia into civil war and they have to seek for refugee and today they're now taking what belongs to Americans.

In 50 years to come, the Europe will see the real result of what they're causing today.

What's the story?

Interesting. I have been to Norway in the summer, the Sun did set in the areas I visited. Possibly in the North it doesn't.

Africans and witchcraft 🤔

Samantha125:
While their ancestors came to Africa centuries ago and started enforcing Christianity on native Africans by conditioning them into detesting and demeaning their African spirituality as they considered it to be barbaric and demonic, we've now seen some of their descendants over the years slowly abandoning the same Christian religion to be practicing African spirituality here in South Africa... Some have even opened up about how their main aim is to share the African faith with the entire world.

Without going any further, here are white South African sangomas.

Fascinating. I remember the priestess of one major shrine in Yoruba land was white for many years. She was chosen when she visited Nigeria for a project in the 50's I think. I noticed when whites practise or do their Sangoma things they sound like the native America shaman .

Wise statements by a statesman

About 9 or so years ago there was a powerful militia on the mambilla plateau. Their area could not be penetrated by the bandits and others. I remember how security agents made sure they were disarmed. How they did it I don't know. But I doubt the community still exist after that event. It is one of the reasons Trump has raised the alarm. It is obvious the authorities are taking sides.

autoez:
Most fathers hate the kids once they hate their moms. Why?

Pretty much a Nigerian thing- I stand corrected.

ManknowThyself:
Just they laugh, be like Fulani nor know say Edo people nor they fear challenges of violence when it comes to life and death.

I strongly condemn this act but men they vex sincerely Fulani own too much this period for ekpoma . Kidnapping, raping and destroying of farm.

Long live the Oba of Bini.
God bless Edo state.
God bless Nigeria.

According to the story it wasn't kidnapping that led to this at first. A soldier shot a protester and the people decided to go this way.

Cmanforall:
And the belief they are superior than other Africans. Bet you this wouldn’t be same if it’s a Moroccan or Tunisian Team that beat them

Sad thing.

I remember when Enyimba won a match in Algiers early 2000s, the crowd went against them and they had to be lifted out that night. It is not a new thing. It's lack of sportsmanship.

jmoore:
90% of Obi's supporters want him to contest for president.

No amount of conviction can tell them to support him as running mate.

I rather sit in my house on election day and eat isiewu and nkwobi if Obi won't be on the ballot as a presidential candidate.

If there is a plan for him to become president after rooting power from the current if the story is true, Obi ought to be supported , in my opinion

Racoon:
Perhaps they are also tired of the French grip hold on the sovereignty of their nation too. This is the problem of colonial master puppets in Africa. They prefer to league with the oppressors of their own people. France is feeding fat and exploiting their economic development.

Not only that. The government extended presidential and legislative terms/tenure through some mango mago. I believe someone is planning the same for naija.

SpencerForbes:
Yeah. It’s a very lucrative business I’ll also love to invest and partner with if it can be properly preserved.

It will require a lot capital to do it that they way I wrote earlier. I'm sure with time something will come up for you. Good luck.
Are you already into the farming of jackfruit?

SpencerForbes:
The moment it’s harvested, ants and fruit bats are already on standby to consume it. I don't believe there's any practical way to keep the fresh fruit good for a long period; a week or two is definitely the limit even with refrigeration.

I think can be canned and preserved in brine/water.
Do people like consuming the fruit?

anonimi:
What can 200 million Nigerians do to make the two men work together now, so that things can be different for Nigerians

Different from the disaster of Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC since 2015!

Maybe a few of us should let them know that should try put their differences aside and work together. There is no time to waste.

Had these two men worked things out years back, things could have been different for Nigeria.

The gaslighting in Nigeria is on a high level

I doubt if I could trust my partner if after a while she has not farted around me.

sleek214:
Atiku/ Obi is a sure deal or Tinubu continue.
I fully agree with Dele Momodu

No cap. If it fails no one should complain

helinues:
See finishing. Obi as VP again. Hahaha

Why should the best amongst the rest be vicing others when his supporters initially told us that the VP position is just a mere commissioner position

You don't always have to start at 'the top'. You will agree with me

treasureboy09:
Would you mind showing prove or links to your assumption?

Please do a research that shows the opposite of what I stated..I would be glad to see them
If that place was a military installation it might have a different approach.

SixSeven:
The Nigerian government over time, with assistance of the NPF degraded the Nigerian Police. It didn't help that Nigeria was led by the military for years but since 1999, they did not regard the police high, that's why see finish don enter. We have heard of so many scandals in the Police so they too don't treat themselves well. The Police is a reflection of Nigeria. How you treat yourself is how others will see you. Just take a look at a typical police barracks and a Naval base or army barracks and you will find out what you need to know.

I remember many years ago in one small town in a European country, while the soldiers are training driving their tanks, only one police man will be monitoring them to make sure there wasn't any reckless driving or over speeding . He would mount his motorcycle and go around the different 'formations' and route. The military guys behaved without questions

Sonnobax15:

NPF being tutored by their senior brothers on how bad the Nigerian system is

In Nigeria yes. But in all functioning societies the police are actually the senior brothers of all security agents.
