Let me tell you something, if you outrightly own your house in Nigeria, 50% of your problem has been solved forever!

You sound like every part of Nigeria is unsafe! Buy a house in Magodo and get Dangote dealerships. You are made forever.

Nobody can extort you till death. You outrightly own in Nigeria and never indebted to a system forever.

Premium healthcare in Nigeria is a learner to the US. Just google the major cause of bankruptcy and try to imagine what’s playing out.

You will never appreciate the peace in Nigeria until you find someone who will tell you the REAL truth about western world. Most of them hype it for you to believe they are doing fine.

I strongly disagree with you,MayB you have not seen what is happening to houses in ABJ and Lekki and co recently regards houses.THos who retire from the US and UK and preach the no place like home slogan are not telling you the whole truth, the truth is they already have thier retirement and healthcare sorted and have back up passport.If Nigeria cash fire now they can relocate within 12 hrs, can you?
they get monthly state and company pensions for life and live in Nigeria check the xchange rate,once every year they can buy tkt to go do health check stuff like that,
My friend one is always confident when there is a back up plan.
Most of these people ruling Nigerians have thier family living abroad.

Nigeria stands at a crossroads, and for many citizens, the sense of disappointment is profound. Around the world, immigration rules are tightening, economic opportunities are becoming harder to access, and many Nigerians abroad are facing increasing uncertainty about their future. Yet the greatest concern remains the state of affairs at home.

Millions of Nigerians are asking a simple question: how did a country blessed with enormous human and natural resources find itself struggling with insecurity, economic hardship, and declining public confidence? Families live in fear of kidnapping and violent crime. Parents worry about sending their children to school. Businesses struggle under the weight of inflation and a rapidly depreciating currency. The naira's fall from roughly ₦350 to over ₦1,400 against the dollar has dramatically reduced purchasing power and made life more difficult for ordinary people.

What frustrates many citizens is the contrast between Nigeria's vast potential and its actual performance. The country possesses immense oil and gas reserves, yet citizens continue to question the effectiveness of public institutions established to manage these resources. Nigerians see examples from other countries where state-owned energy companies have contributed significantly to national development and wonder why similar outcomes have remained elusive at home.

Corruption remains a recurring theme in public discussions. Many citizens believe that weak accountability mechanisms have allowed public resources to be diverted while essential services deteriorate. There is a growing demand for stronger institutions, tougher anti-corruption measures, and meaningful consequences for those who abuse public office, regardless of status or political affiliation.

The transport sector offers another example of systemic challenges. In many parts of the world, transport terminals are professionally managed and regulated for the benefit of the public. Nigerians often ask why similar standards cannot be achieved at home and why informal systems continue to thrive where effective governance should prevail.

Political leaders from all sides face increasing scrutiny. Citizens are demanding results rather than promises. They want safer communities, a stronger economy, reliable infrastructure, quality education, and a government that serves the public interest. The debate should not be about personalities but about performance, accountability, and measurable progress.

Many Nigerians also believe that the country's constitutional and governance structures require serious review. Whether one supports greater regional autonomy, restructuring, or other reforms, there is a growing consensus that the status quo is not delivering the outcomes citizens deserve. Any constitutional arrangement must ensure accountability, effective representation, and the equitable distribution of resources.

Perhaps the saddest consequence of Nigeria's challenges is the damage to the country's international image. Many honest, hardworking Nigerians have experienced the embarrassment of being stereotyped abroad because of the actions of a criminal minority. Countless professionals, students, academics, and entrepreneurs represent Nigeria with distinction around the world, yet negative perceptions persist because of fraud, corruption, and criminal activity associated with the country's name.

Nigeria deserves better. Its people deserve better. The nation possesses the talent, resources, and resilience needed to succeed. What is required is leadership that places national development above personal interests, institutions that punish corruption and reward merit, and a commitment to reforms that restore public trust. Until then, frustration will continue to grow among citizens who know that Nigeria can be far greater than what it is today.

Is this not copied?

cedricksly:
that's why I said the infrastructure is needed... Laws guiding operations and all, you only see them when contracted to carry out a mission, you have to have a military/intelligence background before such license can be given.. When there is negative complain about a particular company, the company can be held accountable and people will go to prison and the company license can be revoked.. I mean you chain them, just with a little longer leach than normal..... Either this or get a Robust Crime Data Base and legalize certain fire Arms.(domt legalize assault rifle or simi automatic weapons) short guns ans pistol is Enough. I used to hate America for legalizing gun, but I now see that in nigeria it will do more good than arm at this point of our lives.

Good idea but is this Nigeria matured enough for that? just look at the complaint against all police and men in uniform in Nigeria, let alone ay private men in uniforms. Check the newly inaugurated state own traffic security outfit, less than two months they already misbehaving.

How times have changed, the cost of Diesel and Petrol is now very close

cedricksly:
Private Security Infrastructure is needed..(the type that will legalize Private Military/Paramilitary Companies) just like Bancroft Global in the US, SADAT in Turkeye, Dyck Advisory Group(DAG) In South Africa, Wagner Group in Russia etc. Give companies license to own private military for Hire.... What we will call Legal Gun For Hire(Aka MERCINARIES)

This will be worse, imagine wike owning one

Parachoko:
If you feel we're not ready for state police, what do you think is the solution to this insecurity spreading across the country?

Behave like state police while maintaining the correct structure of legislature. Ie those officers from Bornu state should work in Bornu state, those from ago should only work in Lagos and those from Rivers should only work in Rivers simple.

Its a very hard time to be a Fulani human

You're a breathing propaganda sponge if you think the North Koreans are starving.

U sure that some Nigerians are not starving ?

Heartsterling:
Hello everyone, please I need assistance as to how to go about the issue I am facing whilst applying for renewal of my Nigerian passport from the using the NIM online link.

I started the application yesterday online and in the process I started to develop problem with login as some point, I be will able to get to the part whereby I will be asked to fill in booklet pages but there were no options displayed, I typed 64 and it showed page not found, the part with processing embassy, nothing was being displayed as well. And if I sign out and refresh and try to sign in again, it will either take time or will display invalid log in.

Later on it will take me to domestic portal bringing up details regarding completing the form within Nigeria, like pick a state, citizenship by birth, naturalisation etc and that's not the page I want since I am applying from outside of Nigeria.

At this point login details are not working, which I know I am entering the right details because I did a screenshot while creating it.

I just don't know what to do honestly, I really need and advice on how to go about it as my Passport will expire in few months time.

Thank you

What are you using to access the siyte?
Phone,Laptop or PC ?

I think she is right

magabounce:
Like Vietnam right?
Again I feel that; they might still rely on Chinese suppliers for components, machinery, packaging materials, or raw materials. China’s manufacturing network in my opinion, is difficult to replicate.

YES LIKE vIETNAM, tHIS AND bANGLADESH, EVEN pAKISATAN

Badb0y4lyf:
On a contrary i have had nice experience with it. It has its down time but get fast in less than an 30mins to 1 hrs my neighbors amd my tvs and phones are connected to it yet it’s still fast with out buffering. Location is Ikotun.

ibrahimawelo12:
Good one,sometimes I ask myself if TEMU is real
Honestly.they will design beautiful stuff and post on their platform.but when you receive your other is another item.they are thieves

YOu are the one not taking your time to read, or you just need a phone with big enough ,I have bought more than N5m worth of goods since 2024 from Temu, yes some goods will be bad but you got to buy practical things and know how to convert inches to millimetre. Even the reading glasses I have on right now is from Temu 3 pair cost me just les than N10k and they are +1,.Last week, I bought N350k worth of baby clothing and stuff to bless a new mum in PH.

JibolaUsman:
Funny enough my sister uses Temu and swears by them

There is shit loads of cheap and good stuff on there to buy,I bought loads of tools from there and works fine

magabounce:
Oh wow!!!
About this.. “Also, considering that Chinese people and cheap labour coupled with low-margin-high-volume concept” do you think they’ll ever be a market or an economy strong enough to rival this marketing ideology?
Because incidentally even the U.S albeit codedly, are benefiting from this concept.

Yes there are loads of markets for labour that is cheaper than China now, cos the Chinese economy is shifting from manufacturing to both consumer nation as well.

goodmuscopi:
I disagree in part.
First, TEMU Use deceptive ad campaign.
Source the cheapest product possible
Target region with weak regulation.

As dishonest EU might appear to you, it's in the interest of their consumers in the long run.

You seem not to get it, TEMU is a platform where p eople sell things just like Ebay ,TEMU do not have anything they sell,The provide Ecommerce that's all. Nigerians sell on TEMU if you dont know, UK people too sell on Temu, if you go fru it well you will see options for local dealers there, so that's those country where locals sell on TEMU.There are things I have bought from TEMU and are supper cheap and work,you just have to take your time and read the description and always have ameasuring tape.

JibolaUsman:
Is it like Jumia. I thought they owned everything they sold

Nop more like Amazon and Ebay

koladata:
Na Africa be their dumping ground.

Nigerians sell on Temu as well

Macphenson:
Just imagine what this clueless President is saying. Children are being molested and held captive in Oyo state, but he is not bothered. No rescue mission since the incident took place.

No state is borrowing to pay salaries while you borrow away out future with only 17% capital project implementation.
Tinubu is the S.I. unit of failure in governance and administration.

Quick question teh chief security officer of the state ie the Governor, what has he done to secure the release of them kids ?

them go face Africa and Asia market only lol

esnbrutality:
Heard Europe rejected his diesel because of high Sulphur content that gradually destroys engines.

Nah thier way, but Africa big pass Europe

What's your point?

VDM posted an alleged recording of the president which sounds fake.

So what statement was withdrawn by which newspaper?

Is the vdm video also fake?

VDM did not post, thats the point, if you have taken your time to read the link from the OP you would have seen where the News paper said it could not find such recording on any VDM online page, what you are seeing is a smear campaign ,Im sure VDM and his crew and planning a response, dont make the mistake of reposting anything

[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=139518072]“I will shut up immediately if my man tells me to” — Lady sparks fierce debate on respect in relationships

A woman has triggered widespread reactions on social media after expressing her views on respect and obedience in romantic relationships, particularly regarding how partners should behave in public settings.

Lady defends strict relationship obedience stance

The lady made the comments during a viral discussion on relationship expectations, where she emphasized that she would immediately stop talking if instructed by her partner, especially when around friends or family.

Her statement has since fueled heated debates online about respect, communication boundaries, and gender roles in modern relationships.

“Call me a pick me but if my man tells me to shut up I’m shutting up immediately. With immediate effect I’m shutting up. Especially if we’re outside, we’re in the midst of friends or family or people, I’m shutting up. I can be a lion behind the scenes but you see if we are outside, I become a rat beside my babe. If you know you cannot respect your man, please just stay single,” she added.

Public reactions split over submission and respect

She further argued that being in a relationship comes with full respect for one’s partner, stating that men have the right to correct their partners when necessary.

Her comments have since divided social media users, with some agreeing with her views on submission while others criticized what they described as encouragement of unhealthy relationship dynamics.

“Call me pick me but if my man tells me to shut up in public, I’m not saying a word cause he deserves the respect. It might not be the case home. If you can’t move this way remain single!! They didn’t force you to date a man you can’t respect”

“Call me pick me but if my ma tells me to shut up in public, I’m not saying a word cause he deserves the respect. It might not be the case home. If you can’t move this way remain single!! They didn’t force you to date a man you can’t respect”
