pato405:
In all these nations you're comparing and citing as an excuse for us to accept the prevailing quagmire, bear in mind that there was at least some level of political will to tackle the problems! - that's what makes the difference. If Nigerians are seeing such political will to fix these issues, then we can all talk about optimism and patriotism.

For many years now, the litany of problems have only gotten from bad to worse and progressively worse. Now, teenagers kidnapp friends and even go as far as murdering their friends even after collecting ransom, bandits are invading communities and community monarchs are fleeing, etc..etc..while the government is busy with 2027 elections to perpetuate themselves in office even from the first day in office! - These only shows you that these societal ills are getting worse while the ruling class turn blind eye and deaf ears! So, don't blame people who aren't comfortable residing in a country that can not guarantee their safety or comfort and also NOT making any plan to tackle the complaints of the masses. Money isn't everything! Peace is everything first, before money. Otherwise, you won't enjoy that money o!

Good point. But for the needed change to be birthed, some people need to chart a course. If we keep saying, nothing will change and stay aloof, it won't do us any good.

Let me give you an instance. When tinubu governed my state, people fell out of law and order. Everywhere was filled with touts. You could not trek under the oshodi bridge once it's 8pm. It was that bad. The moment fashola came, things began to change. Motorists taking one way and killing innocent passers-by stopped, after they were caught and made to pay heavy fines twice, for taking one way. Pedestrians forcefully adopted the bridge as a means of crossing over, instead of crossing the highway and risking their lives. Violators always got caught and tried in a mobile court, after which a heavy fine would be slammed on them. Illegal parking fizzled. Awarded contracts were being inspected in the night by Mr governor, etc. In fact, he charged some of the contractors who did a bad job, loyal to tinubu to court and nothing happened. Bur today, Lagos has returned to days of tinubu....leadership !

You see, someone needs to lead the way and that's why someone like me came back,not because of the money else, I'd be in Texas today working for Chevron. The sharp practices in the sector in which I work was too much before I came. Due to it's sensitive nature, I won't say much here. A lot was put in check which had reduced corruption and destruction of oil infrastructure.

People are ready for a change bro. Gradually we will get there. Not all Nigerians are bad. Enough orientation is needed. We, on our own are the ones initiating it cos the crop of leaders we have will never look in this direction. A better Nigeria is quite possible

Nigeria might have worked for you , congratulations! But how many people has it worked for? He's not talking about individual achievements, he's talking about having systems that work - systems ensuring security of lives and properties, hospitals with facilities, societies with social amenities - good roads without one-way drivers, traffic lights that work, 24/7 electricity, communities that don't get raided by bandits and everyone goes about the next day like nothing happened, school children kidnapped enmasse for several years, kidnappings becoming an industry, ùnsafe foods and fake medicines, inflation hitting the roof, minimum wage the lowest etc etc..almost an endless list.

I got his point, clearly. Cutting off the head isnt the solution to headache. Had Americans run to Europe or Asia, would they have been able to solve their problems? Every working nation had a history of bad governance. Even till today, they still kidnap in America but now minimised with the technology in place. Now, it's gun violence.

The bad leaders wont live forever. They're dying gradually already. Even those who have refused to die keep falling without touching them. Can they buy time forever? Before I came back, Indians were dominant in this sector but we've reduced their activities to size, with the aid of the local content.

Please read about the history of America. Ghana was worse than Nigeria at a time. It's not same situation anymore.

But why are these mischief makers acting this way? Dickson mentioned Kwakwanso as the first person to be presented the membership card and he collected his card while Obi clapped for him, after which the latter was presented his membership card.

Good move. Keep cleaning up your country. Nigerians should remain and fix this tattered nation, firstly by sending our corrupt leaders to their retirement home. Its sad to see Nigerians being bullied by ordinary Ghana and Benin republic, a nation that was once a replica of America in africa where everyone wanted to come and live.

When I was a bachelor I craved travelling abroad for greener pasture but here am I today, still in Nigeria, gradually establishing myself, to me traveling abroad for green pasture is not a dream anymore unless otherwise I am re-directed by Providence.

My kids are the ones I reserve the dream of traveling abroad for schooling.

Your palaver. Nigeria is my home. I be african man, original.

The below is a summary of my story.

I schooled and came back. But before returning I had had a mindset that the west would honour me rather than me honour them one day. I came hit the sector in which I'm much more relevant and even inviting experts to help for a fee today.
Back in the days I used to hear oil spill here and there, people wailing that their lands have been destroyed, shell paying hugely on compensation, pipelines being hit at remote places which can be tackled real-time without even paying a visit to the creeks with the IIOT . Thanks to Starlink

Today, we've taken over the share of the market by 30% as an indigenous firm. By the time Dangote commences crude exploration, we'd have become the topmost indigenous company in our line of business in hazardous mgt.

As Nigerian, I had had the opportunity of meeting with the American president inside the DAAR hall near the White house, the only one from black Africa where the son of any country's president has never been. There's power in the tongue. I remembered when I said the west would honour me rather than me doing so and it came to pass. Tony Blair was the 2nd notable figure met, though years after his exit as British PM.

Those who wish to stay put in a foreign land, its ok. But If you stay there, who will fix Nigeria, Chinese, Indians and others who are busy taking advantage of us, conniving with our corrupt leaders? No way!

Anytime I come here and preach good governance and leadership devoid of corruption, their gullible followers always kick. They think they're more Nigerian than I am. It's high time we changed our mindset. America was once a super corrupt nation. Read the history of America. Kidnapping reigning today in Nigeria was once a norm at a time.

Benin republic used to be a hot bed of kickbacks and corruption. Their gendams no dey gree rest once they see Nigerians in those days. Same Benin republic is now rid of corruption. Enter cotonou you'll think you're in France. Light no dey dim, no solar panels littering their buildings as we have it in Nigeria today as a result of leadership failure. Their currency that used to be worst in africa has now left the almighty naira behind. A lot of african nations are achieving steady progress without making noise.

Vote out bad leaders who have refused to leave the space, despite falling down without being touched and seeking medical treatment every 3 months overseas. How will they concentrate on fixing Nigeria?. Ask tinubu the meaning of AI, he doesn't know anything. Their policies are archaic and anti people. I wonder if sentiments will put food at our desk. Enough said

Guy, the molten magma will spread across the length and breadth of Nigeria. This is good news. It's been jubilation galore here in Lagos. Obi only needs some few millions of votes in the north ehich kwankwaso can easily deliver. Next year's election will be so sweet. The 2 men are the men of integrity we've been praying for in Nigeria.

Those saying they're scared of primaries need to rethink...are these men poor?No.Are they not relevant ? They are.Can they not bribe their way through? Yes, they can but chose not to. We need leaders by example. Corruption will fizzle in no time. God bless Nigeria

With Kwakwanso as obi's running mate, he will have a lion's share in the northern votes while atiku and tinubu will take the rest. Obi will comfortably sweep the south and middle belt. Where will tinubu, Mr failure now stand here? There's no doubt he'll get some votes in some states in our region,except lagos shaa.

I don't know how long it would take seun osewa to create a family thread with strict access .

Firstly, I'd say we're architect of our fortune or otherwise in life. We can all begin to getting it right by voting right leaders in governing positions. Take it or you leave it, the masses are always at the receiving end, irrespective of tribal affiliations.

I just dropped off my son at his school today and I knew how much I paid in school fees alone, not to talk of provisions, pocket money, mention it. I get pikin wey dey university too, a private one for that matter.

All I can say is, God's grace has been sufficient for me.

Don't wait until you have a 2-bed before you get married. Things will get better with time. Let your fiancé agree with you on this. Plan for your future. By the time you attain our level, stress or pressure won't be much. If you have the opportunity to japa, don't hesitate but japa with sense. Go to school and come back as I always advocate. It's the best decision ever taken by me.. Invest in meaningful endeavours. You may also stay there but don't dull yourself. If your friends are riding big cars, don't copy them. Its a liability. Enter train.If they're throwing parties abroad and buying asoebi, waka pass because if you attend one, when it gets to your turn, you must spend too.

Hear this, salary will never make you rich, regardless of where you're working or living on earth. The world is changing so don't rely on 9/5 job. Establish yourself. It's not easy to be self-employed but it pays in the long run
