I'll buy it because I don't know where they sell new cars

rotflll!! nairalanders

They filled the "lounge" with living-room looking chairs and call it a VIP lounge? Is there free Wifi? Can business men comfortably use their laptops? And we are in 2017... smh

seguno2, another one by Mr Solomon, making three of those crimes perpetrated by your people today only, but you self-service on few related reports from the North.

And this is why I ask, how does this case stop some infants from being raped and used for rituals this afternoon by the adherents of your religion?

Omo and Sarrki are birds of same. They lack integrity

That's the summary.

teegirl085:
.I dey ife ooo. ...d fight has started since yesterday. ...Their are contradictory stories on what led to the fight. We get to shop this morning n Yoruba people started running. ... hausa people are actually
chasing them.They are also vandalising shops too. Sincerely Yoruba don't fight back until they heard that A yoruba man has Been killed with Gun by the hausa people around olaolu area. That was when the Yoruba people touched. Right now the Hausas that have died may be without number. Their stalls at Lagere have been burnt n their houses at Olaolu too.

Be safe. If possible people should stay indoors until things calm down.

Kondomatic:
Same way you're doing on Nairaland

He probably doesn't mind because he is being paid to do so, that is what the situation in Nigeria has turned people to. Conscience for sale, on a post by post basis.

As for this Omokri, it's not like he was any different when he was in the corridors of power, very petty man.

nextprince:
Sharrap and stop forming important.

Now tell me how this stops infants from being raped and used for rituals today even by men of god in those places that have practically become centres of evils.

it's like you have brain touch abi..

izzou:
You hope peace is restored but you support the retaliation.

People are dying and all you could think of is how to make a mockery of another tribe.

Some of you on nairaland can be pathetic. Am Igbo by the way,but retaliation isn't the best form of restoring peace

That guy has no sense. His meaningless comments litter the whole place.

So where exactly is the police in all this? Until when lives are lost before they will surface, right?

babniyen:
Shameful Gateway into Nigeria

More than shameful.

What is this for goodness sake? When Buhari passed through Heathrow was this how it looked like? Our leaders will travel to advanced countries and yet never ever copy their standards when it comes to infrastructure.

Nigeria's matter is enough to give someone a headache honestly. I am keen to see the airline that is going to land in this airport and risk the lives of its crew members.

onatisi:
That was exactly what kalu idika kalu said.that this government is only giving ppl false hopes and playing on their intelligence unfortunately many Nigerians lack adequate intelligence anyway. That all this osinbajo gimmicks wont solve anything infact it is counter productive. I have said it that if osinbajo becomes the president he will be the final destruction to the economy.
God should please please bring back buhari

I sometimes wonder do you actually want Nigeria to progress? It's one thing to be realistic but constant pessimism is not good imho.

Very simple elegant woman.

Sarrki, I can see you are on duty today

seguno2:
Nextprince should come with his illogical defence as usual.
We are waiting.

Some people are not worth wasting time replying, that's the category the BMC crew member you just mentioned belongs to.

Exciton:
I wonder when we'll become smart enough for critical thinking. These old fvckers ruling us go just dey do leg over for the uneducated youth who have no future.

Most of the rubbish in this article is nothing but an exercise in day dreaming. Economic plans with ambiguous unrealistic goals and zero means of achieving them.

Example: The Plan envisages that by 2020, Nigeria would have made significant progress towards achieving structural economic change with a more diversified and inclusive economy.

What is the definition of "significant"? What are the explicitly laid out plans for achieving this unrealistic goal? Etc etc.

You are completely right. What can't be quantified, can not be measured. There is a reason goals need to be SMART - specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time based. I wish they could follow this format for all the plans they come up with, wishful thinking is not enough.

Notwithstanding, I still think Osibanjo is headed in the right direction.

tosyne2much:
Hmmm.. Can I even win you in an argument? I doubt

Lol.

anonimi:
Far too many zonebees in the geographical space called Nigeria.
No wonder Lagbaja called us 200 million mumus.

I tire.

Imagine him saying Buhari hasn't spent much with the uncountable foreign trips he's made in less than 2 years (none of which yielded any tangible results) plus his current expenses in the UK. It's now I know some people actually can't think straight.

Opakan2:
That's why God will punish GEJ and Dame Faka or wetin d werey call herself

Look at how Diezani, Dasuki, Obanikoro, Fayose, that NNPC Yakubu guy packed monies meant for Nigerians for God knows what. yet some God forsaken idiots will come out to blame Buhari who doesn't spend much

I feel sorry for the guy especially his people. suicide is never an option

Carry a piece of paper & pen and calculate how much forex £ Buhari has accrued so far on his 'medical vacation' See the person pointing fingers not realising the remaining fingers and even his toes are all pointing back at him.

Mister "I must politicise everything", was Buhari not voted in to address the rot in the system? What has he done besides creating hardship for the whole nation? 10 years later you will still be blaming Jonathan, oh I forgot, that's what BMC riff raffs are programmed to do. Auto repeat.

anonimi:
Things are hard for people because the focus on just simply having money is wrong.
The focus should be on creating value and working hard to sustain and constantly improve the value created, hence many smart people are making it in this otherwise harsh economy by readjusting themselves and their priorities.

It's easier said than done anonimi, easier said than done.

Living in a country where unemployment is almost a guarantee, you have to generate your own electricity, safety is not guaranteed and God help you if you fall ill, hospitals are not equipped and do not care. It is TOUGH surviving in Nigeria, very tough, with things worsening considerably in the last 2 years, and not everyone unfortunately has that resilience to survive in such harsh environment.

austinosita:
I understand your point very well my brother. But let me tell u something......africans, most especially Nigerians, are not used to committing suicide; no matter the situation. Back in the days, when I was in primary and secondary school, this suicide ish was rare, Infact I never heard that a Nigerian committed suicide, not untill now.

I don't see any reason why a Nigerian with a good job, good wife, kids, home, and car would want to commit suicide! It is not in our blood.

We do that now, because of hardship! The economy is really biting hard and a lot of youths cannot cope with it.

Believe me bro, in Nigeria, people get depressed because of hardship! It's really unbearable now.

That's the bitter truth, things are so hard for a lot of people right now. But suicide is never the answer.

modestofynest:
From his name olarewaju South West na them na carry APC matter for head like gala e never start shey na una jagaban put us for this mess for picking buhari, we are watching in 3D

And 28 people actually liked this kind of comment? Smh
Wish everyone could see the list of people who liked this post right under it. Inhumane beings.

This thread has been on my mind all day. Very sad, and so unfair to all the young girls who with no voice or choice of their own have been subject to this evil act.

AnanseK:
It wouldn't have made sense if we didn't have the 16 wasteful years of PDP and to crown it all an ineffectual buffoon for 6 years.

Yeah, because Nigeria only just became a nation 16 years ago mschew. Same old tired blame game, nothing new with these BMC members, I should rather watch paint dry than be talking with programmed robots who have sold off their consciences for 250k. Continue defending nonsense, it's the job you're paid to do.

malware:
I wish you go a step further to confirm the authenticity of the news by searching for the guy, Alfa Bolondes on Facebook.

But that's not the issue, whether this particular guy is authentic or not, the reality is this practice still exists in Northern Nigeria today, that's the leading cause of VVF, it's really really sad. No child deserves this. No child.

On every level, this is just wrong. How can this be acceptable to any right thinking person, how

The look on that little girl's face is haunting. I'm just tired of seeing this kind of thing happening over and over again, where are the NGOs when you need them?

AgreatMan:
Some things in life don't make sense and are not fair, but that's just how they are. The number of people that have been killed since Abacha left makes him look like a saint. Bombing of Odi, book Haram, Fulani, Biafran argitators. I can bet with you that South Africa will not be killing Nigerians if Abacha was the President. These guys are not better than the other.

There is no justification that can whitewash his evil, so let's not try and use a comparison game to make him look like a saint, he is certainly not close to one.

AgreatMan:
Abacha was never convicted, besides, she is not her husband.

So that makes it alright?
Ask the people whose family members he assassinated. Very evil man.

adem30:
This man should take things easy. This was the same way Buhari over stressed himself.

Nigerians are ingrate, they will soon come for his head

It's people like you that stir up trouble. He is doing the right things so why should Nigerians come for his head?

As for your first statement, I am just not going to comment on that because if I start, I won't finish.

This is the kind of behavior expected from a leader - diplomacy, and integration. I really wish him the best with this new role. Enough of travelling the globe rather than prioritizing the country; we should come first.

AnanseK:
You have given yourself answers to your questions. The president is engaged and committed to improving healthcare in Nigeria. That doesn't mean he has to be treated with the crude healthcare he is trying to revive. Please be logical in your argument.

If you as a human being are comfortable being treated with crude healthcare, good luck to you. Other Nigerians refuse to and we will continue to speak out against this government until it practices what it preaches.

See the person talking about logical argument, does it make logical sense to you that the president of a 170mil+ country is sitting in another country with just half of that population for medical vacation? Does that make sense to you?

seguntijan:
Haven’t presidents of other countries been sick before? Are presidents not human beings? I can cite examples from the world’s biggest democracy.
US presidents have been sick while in office.Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) suffered a severe stroke that left him incapacitated throughout his presidency. Yet He remained in office till the end of his term in 1921.Diagnosed with polio in 1921 at the age of 39, Franklin D Roosevelt (1933-1945) still served for twelve good years though he could not stand or walk without support. Using a wheelchair in private, he never disclosed the full extent of his health condition.
Dwight Eisenhower (1953-1961) suffered heart attack in 1955 as a result of which he was hospitalized for several weeks. He also did a surgery some months later to treat Crohn’s disease and in late 1957 suffered another stroke that made him temporarily unable to speak. Yet he went ahead to win a second term after that.
John F Kennedy (1961 - 1963) had a chronic bone disease and was hospitalized nine times in his short two and a half year presidency but this was never revealed to the American public. George Bush (1989 – 1993) vomited and then fainted in front of cameras in 1992 while on a visit in Japan and heaven did not fall in America.
Now if about five of American presidents have been sick in office, what is wrong if Nigeria’s current president is also sick? Is he made of iron? I am also tempted to ask, if Buhari dies, will it be the first time that a president will die? Yaradua died here in Nigeria. Murtala Muhammad died. Tafawa Balewa died.
Eight American presidents have died in office. Fourdied of natural causes: William Henry Harrison (1841), Zachary Taylor (1850), Warren Harding (1923) and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1945). Four others were assassinated: Abraham Lincoln (1865), James A. Garfield (1881), William McKinley (1901) and John F. Kennedy (1963).
The truth is that if Buhari dies today, his name will be written in letters of gold. It is the death of a hero primus inter pareil and the death of a reformer nulli secundus. Buhari is a dogged corruption fighter who came to rescue Nigerians from yam thieves. If he dies today he will leave an indellible record, an achievement difficult to match by his successor and a standard that is bound to create a yawning lacuna.

Presidents definitely are humans and can be sick. The question for you is all these American presidents you have generously listed up here, were they or were they not treated in American hospitals?
Please answer.

Yawning lacuna, lwkmd!! Nonsense.
Nigerians do not need grammar, they need reality to match the propaganda you guys are being paid to propagate.

seunlayi:
I got no business with him, he has already failed. Why going abroad for treatment? Something you stood against during campaign

What happens to millions of Nigerians who cannot afford to fly overseas and get access to good healthcare?

What kind of president cannot use the healthcare in the country he is governing over?

Just this weekend I heard about LUTH, one of the largest teaching hospitals in the country, they didn't have light for 2 days, and some people had scheduled surgeries. Which is why people end up dying needlessly. And yet some people are comfortable enough to collect 250k monthly to defend this kind of evil? I call that blood money. Yep.
