Is the nation not functioning?

Travel to the Benin Republic and stay there for a week. You will get the answer you are looking for.

A friend once told me the easiest way to kick-start this country is if we can somehow make everyone spend a week in the US or any other functional country.

Staying briefly In a sane country will get people angry and demand what is rightly theirs. An average Nigerian thinks suffering and hardlife is normal. Nigeria basically owes no one while the politicians loot the national coffers.

The powers that have been devolved so far, how are the recipients of such devolution using the powers?

What power exactly? Go read about the 68 items on the exclusive list of the constitution of slavery used by Nigeria.

The constitution basically absolves the politicians with immunity. What do you expect of them rather than galavanting and keep being useless.

The constitution provides a needed structure for a functional country. Donald Trump is a bat sh*t crazy person but he was suppressed by the constitution and the system built on it.

Our politicians are untouchable because of the constitution.

How will stopping of funds going to abuja make Nigeria better?

Maybe it won't, but at least we will stop inequality. Zamfara and most Northern unproductive states churn out millions of votes every four years but ask them for IGR and you will be disappointed.

How can most Northern states get times three - four of what they take to Abuja while the south western states get less. Lagos literally loses 1 billion a day to the One Nigeria dream.

The people want to be dribbled. Which reforms to d constitution are u referring?

Removal of the most if not all items on the exclusive list.

Devolution of power that also includes stopping funds being sent to Abuja.

These are the basic fundamentals needed for a functioning nation.

Election without constitutional reforms
Politicians using democracy to dribble their people since ages past.

dumbass, you should live like a local in those said countries to understand whether they are good or not.

as a guy who has lived in china, india , nigeria and indonesia , i have to say , the most miserable one is india. it is supposed to be democratic with freedom. so , the indian are brainwashed to believe so, even after they are extorted bribes by the police , they have to stuff their hatred and believe they are still happy. and any "unhappy" comments are erased from youtube and twitter. even they say they are unhappy , no one gives a shiet ,because everyone trusts india to be democratically good.


the second worst in your list, is nigeria, without elaborations.

indonesia is light year distance better than the above two . their identity as malay race comes first, being muslim comes second. indonesia is one of the comfortable and safest muslim countries, right after Iran and turkey , Tunis.

as to china and the West , they are not in the league with other minors. of course, they assert their hegemony by wars and cruelty. that is how empires roll out.

We know you are Ajala that has travelled the world, but get the f*ck out of my mentions if your silly brain can not comprehend shite

How does your shite write-up tally with my point? Read and comprehend!

kraftysprouts:
They said the same thing in Yugoslavia

Exactly. They were shouting unity while suffering and smiling. But now everyone is developing at their own pace.

SARSCoV2:
India, Indonesia, USA, Canada, China

Why did British India separate into two? Can you imagine India and Pakistan in the same country even though they are the same people? No. There is a clash of Ideologies. Same thing with Nigeria. Some people want Egalitarism and Religious neutrality while some want Rankadede and Sharia.

About Indonesia, Have you heard of the word Javanisation before? Furthermore, they practise the true presidential system where there is local autonomy, unlike Nigeria where you need to go to Abuja before you can do anything.

Canada and USA are built upon the inhuman subjugation of the natives and their gruesome massacre. Don't you know this? Look at the Native Americans. They are now the minority in their ancestral land while the majority strangers are doing business as usual.

I don't even want to start with China.

Go read The clash of civilizations and the remaking of world order by samuel p. huntington maybe it will help some of you people that doesn't know what the problem of our country is.

A diamond in the rough. Sanwo-Olu should do the needful please.

SARSCoV2:
Hello! It’s not peculiar to Nigeria. Nations have moved far ahead it far more ethnic division than Nigeria.

Hate is what is holding Nigeria back, not ethnicity. We just have three major tribes, let me say 5. Is that much to be in one accord?

Give one example of such nation. I will revisit the latter statement.

VaselineCrew:
White man with gun: You black people of different tribes must be joined together so that we have better access to your resources.

Black man (Nigerian): Yes Maser! We will remain together no matter what, even if we must kill 3 million people, we must uphold your decision Maser! Thank you Maser!

A typical case of a black man enslaving a black man.

I don't care about the new black Julio Cesars but what surprises me is some miseducated negro Citizens that believes all the regions would suffer if they leave this Nigeria arrangement.


Ojuelegba alone has the same population as Monaco. How about the Nordic and Slavs population?

I encounter people who sings this anthem every time. Why can't we do this if Europeans can? Maybe it's a low self esteem issue. Maybe, maybe not.

Happily walking away from the hospital ,but he died moments after

Jason Gaviati. Feels like yesterday.

There is a possibility that they will redraw the round of 16 uefa clash with some teams registering complaints

Dm them. It's quite straightforward. Prepare to set up VPN on your server as they don't joke with security.

The guy knows what he wants. Not Ole that will be blushing like a baby every time. Pogba, Martial et al can all pack their bags.

NAVY toys. So our oga at the top is commissioning boats now Nigeria the only country in the world that imports toothpicks but pretend to have the sophistication to maintain blockchain technology. Learn to walk before you fly!!

arthurwillia:
People on the equator nko?

Yes. They walk sideways in respect to the other region. But all of us walk upright in our reference mainly because of gravity.

arthurwillia:
This earth � are we standing on the circle or inside it

Standing on the circle. And yes some people are walking upside down on the south axis but they don't know or feel it.

Minds may wither away but minds they touch will touch minds till infinity. It's in the quality of seeds.



"From the abundance of one's heart", and not from the "greater part of the cosmos". One just need understand the limit of cloth to coat or you might start thinking of playing football with Neptune.

Not "where", for that adds a limit of space. In my mind, where space is unlimited.

Great teacher, Please speak in a language that we lesser humans can understand.

What intelligence disappears?

I have answered the question about the intelligence disappearing thing above.

Humans have never claimed to have fathomed out all about reality. But they keep searching and making progress. Based on the part of reality we are aware of, only humans have been able to do that.

Humans have ruled parts of nature on earth.

Yes, you are right. In the micro reality of existence. My point is we are inconsequential on the galactical scale. Jupiter has literally been collecting bullets on our behalf from ages past. We are like a single atom on the cosmic scale.

An excerpt from the pale blue dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light

.

Intelligence does not disappear. For though some of it may be as seeds that fall by the roadside and wither in the sun or get eaten by the birds, some falls on fertile minds and creates plenty thoughts.

And what will happen after those minds wither away. Maybe some planets will carry our chronicles and tell tales of a forgotten civilization if we are able to achieve FTL or interstellar travel later in the future.

"Ruling the universe" me myself and I, first, for out of the abundance of my heart and all.

Then grow and evolve and become, in this endless enough universe

Hmm. The cosmic speed limit will prevent access to the greater part of the cosmos. So the question still remains. Rule where?

Nothingserious:
Humans are special in every kind of way that God made them.
Humans are special in every kind of way they have realistically existed.
As at date, there is nothing higher than humans in nature. Unless you think size is always equivalent to quality. A comparison between 1kg of gold and 1 kg of sand dust or the value attached to a small baby of yours and a big elephant can point out that size is often not same as quality.

Humans don’t have to be as big as the sun to be special and rule the universe. They only need to be connected to their God and exhibit their God-given abilities that are inert and sometimes latent, to dominate nature.

They have done it overtime and will continue to do it.

I think we are talking from different wavelengths.

First, I asserted that humans may be special based on our uniqueness and exclusivity of existence in the universe.

What is the point of intelligence that will disappear in the twinkle of an eye in relation to the cosmic timescale?

Also, what do you mean about ruling the universe? Rule where?

Sad to see the Oyo country (like Ajayi Crowther always calls it) trapped in a pseudo geographical expression country like Nigeria.

Humans will only live for less than two minutes in the cosmic time scale. As someone said already, we are not special, however, we might still be special because we might be alone. There's this Sagan statement that gets me We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it's forever.

We are inconsequential yet we allow things like racism, gender and sexual orientation, religion e.t.c to enter our heads and divide us.

They've collected what the northerners call rankadede We are waiting for the walk of shame.

Government magic Dem go dabaru everything, dem go turn electric into candle. Fela, this Marodonas have come again.

This is not an army arrangement again. This is a crazy demonstration arrangement.

This lady again Desist from your ways. Bullshit podcast. Maybe it is by scoring alone. The goat with seven lives has the most complete stats.

I think somebody should stop using the no 7 again. The real owner of that number has surfaced.

vanbonattel:
The real home of crystal meth has always been Kano, and the north. Millions of northern youths, in their illiteracy and ignorance has been abusing the drug and all other concoctions for the past 25 years.

Thank you!

I have a friend that has an NGO that combats the drug epidemic in the North and she tells all sort of interesting stories.

Stories of how Almajiri boys will be caught with packets of tramadol even though it is supposedly illegal. Children using septic tanks to get high or the tales of overload of psychiatric homes filled with teenagers and young adults.

I believe some elites are actually sponsoring and exporting the epidemic to the south because how can you explain a 13 year old Almajiri in Kano with packets of tramadol unless it was given to him.

This country is just wrong on different levels.

How can a continent have so much yet still borrows? Like Wole and several historian's have noted, the British only abolished physical slavery because they know that mental slavery will reign supreme for several years to come.

Solidkay:
It is only expected of developed nations to keep breaking new grounds and making histories positively as it is expected of backward nations who has their highly illiterate ancient of days as their leaders to break new debt records.
Thank you Explorer...

Baby steps... We are building train tracks to Niger (that produces and consumes relatively nothing) and open grazing is still part of our national discussion. We are also the giant of Africa btw.
