That's the sad reality of life....the poor always supporting the rich to oppress them.....the rich always lying to the poor that the oppression is for their benefit......the rich gets richer....the poor gets poorer


Guess who is making money from the new currency swap....the rich

When Fela sang shuffering and smiling, people hated him for it because they couldn't face the truth. This is some extreme form of cognitive dissonance. Nigerians are a special breed man.

NoToTerrorists:
shut up, we love the cashless policy, so your mentors who are corrupt politicians and your kidnappers who collect millions of Naira in Cash will be handicapped.

Do you think politicians will be affected by the cashless policy? The same people that buys dollar at 490?

They are suffering the massase but the people think it's for their sake. What a deluded generation.

It's actually the Alaafin sigil that has been used for over 800 years by his family. Baba blu appropriated it.

fixedhollies:
Wahala… Nigeria operates several constitutions. Who go rearrange this country i never know!

Peter Obi that was impeached twice in his own state will strong-arm the Northerners to do away with Sharia. Or maybe bulaba that owes them his success or Atiku a northerner that deleted his post about the killing of Deborah.

One Nigeria

Band of criminals smiling.

We shall see where the radical leftists will drive this world.

Dreal1247:
You see how myopic some people can be. Imagine when people are strategizing on how to rescue Nigeria, people are still discussing religion and dancing. Slaves who love their chains will remain in bondage. They are irredeemable.

James bond style abi All of us will see the end of this fantasy.

Kaduna Nzeogwu, the great optimist wanted to build a One Nigeria but came to the painful realisation. Rest on soldier.

Ruggedniggaone:
One thing the guy is very good at is overhyping,I see nothing special in that movie women king make sense pass that trash

The historical inaccurate propagandist woman king?

Scramble for Africa 2.0. But now it's legal.

Moh247:
Can we all respect people's culture and decisions of grown adults

One Nigeria

MPaypal as the Madridistas know him as.

Even Neymar left Barca for PSG and he still wasn't free of Leo's shadow.

Jokerman:
Great.

No more pressure. Just play, enjoy your football, score more goals and give assists. Break records, chop more money.

To many of us, you are always the GOAT of this generation

This sounds like self-consolement on steroids lols

This reminds me of another Bishop's quote.

“I Fear I May Have Integrated My People Into a Burning House” — Martin Luther King Jr

Those who won't learn from history will fall victim to the future.

Well well well. This drama will be riveting. We will see if contemporary feminists will allow the radical leftist to go away with these their erosion of what it means to be a woman.

What a time to be alive.

Obasanjo was used as collateral to get a trumpet for his church while he was still young, Jonathan had no shoes, and Our darling Daddy Buhari borrowed funds to purchase the presidential form and only had two cows.

These Nigerians no dey tire? It's giving addict vibes at this point. This search for a messiah chai.

Wiseandtrue:
I can't just imagine what would have been said if APC had not won

Do you still think APC is the problem? Was Jonathan in APC too? Or did he not make things worse compared to what Obasanjo left?

See Olympic blame games.... One Nigeria of confusion.

OnyeAshuaUru:
A new Nigeria is POssible.
Vote for a country that works for you.
Vote LP
Vote Peter Obi

chai. You remind me of the below guy seven years ago.

After 50 years una go get sense last last.

What most people don't know about the U.S or abroad in general is that it can either be a dream or a nightmare. I have never seen a hardworking, smart and intelligent Nigerian fail to make it here, yes it will be difficult, yes it can be rough but most people end up being in a better state than they were when they left 9ja. Now back to the topic, many Nigerians here are forced to forget partially or completely about Nigeria due to the number of hours you have to spend at work, raising a family and so on. An average trip to Nigeria will cost you at least $3000 to $5000 dollars when you count ticket, hotel and other costs. Most Nigerians can't save that much in a year, in fact most Americans can't save that in a year. The real Nigerians suffering here are the illegal immigrants, they can't work a decent job, they can't leave the country and are constantly watching their backs. Hopefully with the emergence of a new Nigeria under GMB, many of the illegal immigrants can come back to 9ja and make something of their lives!

Teenwolf:
I won't insult you, but just know that argentina will either Play portugal or brazil in the final

Argentina can never meet Brazil in the final lol.

There's more to just the match. With the partitioned structure, the semi is where they will meet if Argentina can knock out Australia and Netherlands next.

ozimec:
You maybe right but then, the power for any constitution amendment or review lies on the National and state assemblies not really on the President. However, in the case of our country, North will never support restructuring or true federalism because they believe it will not favour them and, without their support you can't get the required two third number. Remember 2014 National Conference.

So what do you think we can do in your opinion? Really curious.

duro4chang:
Thank you. But why is it difficult to change or amend all those areas even under Obasanjo?

Because we need

1. Four out of five of all houses in the country. This means at least 24 states' houses of assembly must support it. This is virtually impossible.

2. Two-thirds majority of the National assembly must also support it.

These two requirements are against the South that majorly suffers from the bad constitution,

duro4chang:
Please lawyers in the house, what is really wrong with the constitution? Why should we discard the constitution?

For a start, the constitution has about 68 items on the exclusive list. These items are exclusive to states and only the president and federal government can decide on them.

An example is fishing on the high seas. It is illegal to go fish on the sea. Imagine that?

States can't generate and distribute their own electricity. e.t.c

Their are a lot of things in that barbaric constitution but we need to do more to enlighten our people.

This is the most sensible thread on nairaland in years!

bluediamond1239:
Arise TV journalists, please bring Yakubu Gowon in for question and answer section.why did he disagreed on agreement in abury
(

How many GenZ's are even aware of the Aburi accord today? All they want is to reclaim a country that was never theirs in the first place.

Aburi accord or a similar system is the only solution to Nigeria's problem but let us waste 50 more years first.

On Aburi we still stand

mach7:
Like Pa Adebanjo, like Pa Akintoye.

What is it with this old papas and their perceived hatred for Tinubu?

May God deliver us from crab mentality o.

Maybe because Tinubu used to be a disciple of the Sage Awo and subsequently abandoned Awo's principles when the sage was no longer around.

Prof Akintoye was the youngest member of Awolowo's cabinet, and he was more like a son to Awolowo while pa Adebanjo also has a relationship with Awolowo. They feel betrayed by Tinubu's greed.

two pointers solves this in O(n) at worst. This is probable the first question to wet your appetite. It's suspiciously easy.

oluwasegun007:
This country will on grow under a no nonsense president....


Imagine this one way of thinking

A no-nonsense president like Obasanjo abi?

You guys forget it's turn by turn. It only takes a kind of Buhari or Jonathan to scatter everything again.

Cantonese:
My first comment was borne out of the fact of what I have noticed in the recent times.

Without doubt, our country has become so deeply polarized by the words and actions of the political class.

In the 70s, 80s and 90s, even though we had different tribes and cultures, Nigerians remained one. It was on the basis of that fact, that the late Chief MKO Abiola won the election convincingly. He received votes from every part of the nation, as where he came from did not matter.

The new nation called Nigeria should be the estate of our great grandfather Othman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the South as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have control over their future”- Sir Ahmadu Bello, Premier of Northern Nigeria, 1961

A few months later Northerners started hunting down Igbo's. We were never one in the history of this country.

Abiola's case came at the back of a vicious military regime and it was either him or a relatively unknown person.

It does not take 70 years to form national identities. It did not take the Americans 70 years. They already knew what they wanted, fought the war of independence against the British; had a constitution; fought a civil war and became who we all know today.

Like I said earlier, America, Canada, Australia and a whole lot are settler's colonies. Do you want that in Nigeria?

A country must have one and only one majority. Nigeria has multiple majorities with different ideologies. Even the United States is trying to keep the power of the whites. Same thing with Germany. That's why Singapore separated from Malaysia.

Can one say he is not a Nigerian when he is from Nigeria? We can only ask ourselves if we are United as one country.

Now, I agree with you that we are going nowhere if certain burning issues affecting our nation, are not sorted out. We must ask if we are ready to proceed as one nation.

Nigeria is not a nation. Jut know this. At best it is a county of multiple nations. The first step to solving a problem is to accept reality. Their's nothing like our country.

A nation where 90% of the southerner's won't want to live in the North because of the North's civilization, and where alot of the Northerners wants to live in a sharia country.

Let us do Nigeria for another decade of. suffering. Maybe people will have sense to demand for a refferendum.

Cantonese:
But the different European ethnic groups who could not stay together, peacefully went their separate ways.

Maybe you do not know that the indigenous people were not wiped out by the invaders/settlers in America, in the 17th century.

Nigeria was built on ethnic and religious lines also, but as it stands today, are the tribes in any form of agreement?

You just proved my point. Your original comment was

Some Nigerians, right in their own country, ask other Nigerians to vacate Lagos and relocate to their villages. These set of myopic Nigerians struggle to get visas to the UK and USA, in their efforts to become citizens of those countries. How can you ever get visas?

There's nothing like a Nigerian, at least not yet.

You guys forget that Nigeria is less than 70 years. National Identities are not formed in that short duration.

Nigeria is a clash of ethnic groups with different ambitions. We are going no where.

But the different European ethnic groups who could not stay together, peacefully went their separate ways.

Nigeria was built on ethnic and religious lines also, but as it stands today, are the tribes in any form of agreement?

Do. you see how you called them European ethnic nations and Nigeria tribe Denmark is less than the Ijaw people population and you will never call them a tribe. We should try to decolonise and detach from the coloniser's language.

Cantonese:
See how a migrant would be announced as the Prime minister of the United Kingdom. The American vice president, the same.

Some Nigerians, right in their own country, ask other Nigerians to vacate Lagos and relocate to their villages. These set of myopic Nigerians struggle to get visas to the UK and USA, in their efforts to become citizens of those countries. How can you ever get visas?

Yeye people.

Oya wipe out the indigenous people like they did in America and then make Nigeria a settler colony so that it can be a free for all.

The UK and most of European countries are built on ethnic lines and so can afford that. Nigeria is a contraption of different civilizations.

The people that gave us democracy are practising this kind of system while we are practicing a satanic fake federal system of government.

People that think Obi or Tinubu or Atiku is the solution should keep chasing shadows.
