Maybe he took his land by forrce when he was in power, the way Uzodinma is doing today. Nothing lasts forever. I saw Aregbe recently overseas, I just waka pass like say I no see am, even dey speak yoruba on the phone as I dey waka pass. Nobody dey gaari anybody.
All the leaders doing giragira today, and stepping on toes would soon be worth nothing. That's why they should be kind to those whom they serve while in office.

There are many world leaders today who would remain relevant till they breathe their last. Obasanjo is one of them. He doesn't want to know where you're from. If you merit that office, he'd appoint you to occupy it. He remains the only dertibalised Nigerian. Another leader whose name would be echoed till the end of time is Barak Obama. I know how much he raked into his pocket the day he came to give us a pep talk in DC a few years back near the white House. I learnt the invite was at a price after the event..if you see these men anywhere you go, you must feel their presence. Most of our leaders are so useless and power-drunk, as if the office they occupy belongs to their dad.

BTW,our igbo brothers and sisters too plenti for texas. Something must be responsible for that.

RESHARPENED:
Imagine building something like this and your employees want to Work From Home.

You're talking to us . We love working from home. Mime is coming on stream, soon!

Very true

Powerful woman

Dest8sman:
I always said the same but it made people frown at me.

Let all those who want to frown alone. They have not learned anything yet. Tinubu and his cohorts never loved one Nigeria but what they wanted to steal. Its in the archives.

He bought the first jet, 2nd and 3rd. By the time you add up the cost of 3 private jets altogether, which tinubu bought brand new and all his wealth and cash stashed in the various bank accounts across the globe, nobody would tell you who is more corrupt when compared to the abacha loot. Both of them are the same

Cruise777:
Only if you understand the true story about Western Media Propaganda around Abacha loot and the Abacha Regime Sanctions and Embargoes

You will understand Baguda and Abacha are not our enemies

Hmmm. Tell me more bro

You sold your organ, period. Na biack market be dat oo

Cruise777:




Falana also said the same thing

Unfuntunately the truth is Tinubu don't have enemies, he works with whoever can deliver

Bagudu was one of top Abacha Money Laundry boys, yet Tinubu made him Minister of Budget and National Planning

All former Governors are already roaming Abuja

.

...and you believe bagudu, who once mopped Nigerian treasury dry under abacha by acting as his courier to deposit Nigeria money overseas in ahacha's accounts would perform well? This country eeh! This man was caught in America, jailed and served many years in their jail, only for him to come back and be celebrated as a hero, serving 2 terms in office as governor and now, a minister. Dem don get our youths. Their positions are being occupied by criminals in their very eyes yet, they're supporting them.

Or is it Akpabio with a heavy efcc case hanging on his neck that would do well as senate president? Who do us like dis in Nigeria? I don't join them condemning yahoo boys anymore cos they're simply taking after their leaders

Wainey:
So I am into importation of phones and selling it here in Nigeria, with the recent price hike in everything. My business is reaching a point where it's about to be closed, please what do I do?

Their useless supporters would soon come for you. They'd say we should discourage import end encourage export and naira would become stronger, as if that's the main cause of fx brouhaha, as if we can produce everything locally. APC administration has lost it and this has nothing to do with hate. Those who voted tinubu are also feeling the heat. Nobody is spared.

Meanwhile, there are many countries who import almost everything yet, their economy remains stronger as ever. Shebi we still get crude oil and agricultural products we we dey export, many developed countries dont have such yet, they're prospering. The problem is corruption. When a corrupt leader is now in power, the situation becomes worse because he will draw his fellows to work with him.

When we needed them in lagos the most during elections, they never came. Apc supporters were jittery. I won't be surprised if they support this move.

igwebuike01:
We want to see results not long stories

Which result...? If not for the parallel market traders, where we for see fx put into our account and order our goods? Banks can't support SMEs. Visit any branch and see endless queues of those looking for fx. I had to withdraw my application after waiting for nearly 4 months. Na biack market save me.

I travelled recently to Hungary. My bank couldn't support me with BTA. Na parallel market save me cos our cards aren't working overseas for transactions. Gone were the days when we'd insert our debit card in their atm abroad and we'd withdraw as if we're in Nigeria in their currency.

Apc has killed our economy under the pretext of discouraging import. With this heinous move, dem kuku wan finish Nigeria. They know what they're doing

Nonny95:
There’s one letter and one deposition under oath.

A deposition under oath is not a letter, see how a supposed judge is behaving like.

When you remember this is Nigeria and not Netflix then you will understand this statement from a judge.

We know justice okoro's antecedents, he should go on to approve certificate forgery. Nigerians will remember him for that.

You must have bagged a PHD in law to refute what the legal luminary had said. I guessed it was because his statement wasn't in your mentor's favour. Shior!

jrusky:
You all go cry taya. Tinubu will rule your a s s for 8 years and nothing go shele.

I don't even care if he rules for 100 years. His being president neither makes nor mars me. Everybody on their level.

Can you give what you don't have ? Even the Children Home School at police post, molete , Ibadan which he claimed to have attended didn't find his name on the alumni list. My amount said so. She's an exco of the alumni association.

Shame on all those defending this man.

Resurrection212:
Nothing better during yar'adua the thing is that our economy continues booming and we still have enough reserve to back our naira. You forgot that despite militarily rule in 19s we don't experience hardship
like this.

I knew what I was saying. Things started taking a downward turn the moment apc took power in 2014.

My main man . Hit him, attack him, e no dey talk. That's maturity at play

Resurrection212:
Out perform Tinubu in this system of government. Please that's not possible. This is how Nigeria will be getting worst in each administration.

But it got better when yaradua was in power. Unfortunately, he was exited by the untimely death. He's have done very well. If you have a good leader, things would change. See the caliber of leadership we have today, from president to senate president , down the lower chamber. They're all corrupt guys

laivwire:
I feel sorry for her. It's so bad especially when you're coming from a socially vibrant place like Nigeria.

The western culture is so isolated. Hello, Hi and that's all. Anyone you take as a friend is just for drinks/party o, if you assume any other type of attachment, you're on your own except it's your nuclear family.

What I don't understand is why people act like it is okay to live that way. Even Africans keeping to themselves like the whites only to get to their rooms and cry out of boredom. Because nothing can come close to true friendship, not Netflix not studies not work.

She should try to visit Naija every year. Spend at least two weeks greeting and gyrating with family and friends, chop suya and drink our cheap beer. Enter club and shake body, not all that Tecno electro music.

You've said it all. No place like naija. That's why suicide level is so low. When you're depressed, you can share your thoughts with your neighbour and before you know it, you're back to normal and life goes on. A friend got deported from us over 2 decade ago. The visa agent who processed his visa documents used a credit card to pay for his training which he went for. At the POE, the CBP called the training firm who said his name had been removed from the list cos the card he used to make payment had a fraudulent charge on it. Since he's the one directly involved, they said he was the one who used the card to pay. He thought they were kidding him, by the time he was thrown in a cold cell, the reality dawned on him.
He was sent back to Nigeria with the next available flight. When he got home, he called everyone that he was sent back and he was going to end it. We cancelled him, told him to have faith and all would be well. He became jobless in-between. In short, he later had his life back. Years later, he went to the US embassy and reapplied. His visa was granted. He's been to USA multiple times, even taken people along with him.

To say na over there, there's nobody to share your thoughts with. You don't even see the neighbour next door face to face. You only hear their voice once in a while. Every one keeps to themselves. By the time you add one plus one, you don commit suicide. Meanwhile here, you can barge into your neighbour's apartment uninvited, open the fridge and bring out water to drink, gist don start on wetin dey worry you and you end up leaviing there happily....it doesn't happen that way over there.

Like l always say, no.place like naija.

Osgilliat:
People keep saying she needs to socialize more. How can you socialize more when you have to work all the time to keep up with bills. Even the socializing cost $$$.

Don't mind them

That's it. But why not find a church around to attend. You get to meet God-fearing people. To those in a similar situation, be open in your mind and serve God. Before you know it, you'd forget about loneliness cos in the presence of God is fullness of joy.

Club won't save you, it would rather render you vulnerable. My 50 cents.

Onyiiobi7735:
But the locals should be trying to conserve the population and not hunt them recklessly.

I understand. You know we're not whites. There are some of them who don't eat meat at all. They'd tell you they have pity for animals. Asking people not to eat meat is as good as blaming God for creating them for our consumption

Onyiiobi7735:
Poachers and the reckless way they hunt wild animals, even to the brink of extinction,is beyond me.A time is coming when wild animals will take the fight to the doorstep of humanity, with such ferocity never before seen. Mama Nature has a mysterious way of fighting humans who recklessly mess up the ecosystems and the biodiversity, driving them near to extinction.

Story. I don chop rhino for ekiti area several times, so sweet. Do you know a town called itawure in ekiti? Youd see smoked rhinos and other bush meat buy, plentiful even take am chop pounded yam. Na God give us chop.

South Africa, Africa's real giants . What can other African countries learn from Nigeria than corruption?

Calitoscassius:
You are the one deceiving yourself, is your mother not a woman? If she is then you are a. Morron

Keep up the Lies. Enough said

Calitoscassius:
Total rubbish! our mothers are women remember? The doctor raped his patient and you are here blaming women for your failures. I have had sex with nearly 150 women and still successful in what i want in life, i have no regrets.

Lies. Keep deceiving yourself ok?
I'm a successful man, by His grace and you don't have to believe me.

Nonsense. This is called misplaced priorities. During elections, they blast music upandan shouting ę dibo fun. What's the allowable level of pollution in dB? How did they arrive at this?

In that case, why not also bar all the commercial vehicles conductors from shouting obalende, oshodi oke, etc? Is that not also a form of environmental pollution through noise?

God1000:
It looks consensual to me, though unprofessional conduct on his part

How can someone she claimed to have raped her at the hospital still went to her house for more.

That's why we've been telling our fellow gender to run away from women, so that what had taken them ages to garner would not be pulled down in a day and Same applies to women who lust after men. The bible also harp on it....flee fornication! Adultery isn't good!

If you like food, it's OK
If you like money and spending it, it's ok
If you are hungry today, you can come over it
If you have no clothing, you can be clothed
If you love fashion, nothing spoils....but...
if you like women, you're killing your destiny swiftly .

You can argue that there are some who love women are still doing well. Do you know what they go through in thehr closet, that they wish could be removed at any amount? They'd nurse the wound till they die. Only God can remove the problem....and to those who are still lovers of women and feel they're still doing well, your downfall is minus one day today. If you don't stop it, you'd remember this post someday.

LikeAking:
Nonsense!

Many other countries of the world depend on imports and they still do well.. Kindly check our Arab and North African brothers.

It’s all about management..

U no sabi, u no sabi, no be too talk, experience or degree..

This is the only sensible post here. I've been all around the world. No nation exports more than China and Germany. Most advanced countries depend on import and they're doing fine. We were also import dependent when we were termed giants of Africa . Shebi we still export oil, there many developed countries who don't Export such a lucrative product as crude yet, are doing very well.

You don't expect a country where an accountant general stole over 100bn naira and still walking freely today to succeed. I remember maina's corruption case too. What of the millions of dollars cash discovered at the ikoyi building? Where did tinubu get the 3 private jets he owns? What of corruption case of akpabio? All these can't happen and we expect economic growth. In China, most of our corrupt politicians would have forgotten coming to the world by now or held in prison after vomiting all they've stolen. Nigeria is a country where corruption thrives and psycophants keep worshipping corrupt leaders and encouraging them to steal more, what belongs to them, while their lives keep deteriorating. We're also not a united country. Governance has become a chop make I chop arrangements

What's the volume of our export in the 60s,70s, up to 2011 when the dollar was stable? When other countries subsidize commodities, including Petroleum products, Nigeria with their high level of poverty urrerly removed subsidy to further punish their people, instead of dealing with the corruption surrounding subsidy but they won't. They known themselves as they're still part and parcel of the system.

Mr Aganga had a point but that's not the main problem facing us as a nation. Even if we're exporting almost everything, if corruption keeps holding sway, it won't make any difference.

No wonder he rushed to join the APC. Once you rush yo take cover under then, your sin is forgiven. Nearly all the law makers have one corruption case or the other tied to their neck. As long as these people keep holding sway, we shouldn't expect miracles to happen in Nigeria on growth and development.

In Nigeria, they'd never have resigned. If I hear giants of Africa again... giants of Africa that always sets bad examples for other countries, including electoral processes.

I remember the former northern governor who gave obj tough time with sharia. He was caught, committing same offence that the poor was said to have committed during obj administration which was why the man said she should be stoned to death.

This shameless man was caught in a hotel with 3 harlots. As a matter of fact, it was one of the harlots who videoed him secretly and posted the video on social media. When the press first approached him on the issue, he denied it. By the time he now watched the video, he now said, he's entitled to his privacy. He's been in senate for many years after his tenure as governor. He never resigned.

Men, stop allowing flesh to bring you down, ruining your destiny. See these top government officials ruin their career, just like that cos of lust? Many women have some men's tapes without them knowing. They'd release it whenever they're ready to destroy them

God1000:
Very shameful, how can top government officials engage in such sleazy act.

Have you been to Abuja before? Their hub is Nicon Hilton where they serve our top politicians with girls. Shameless human beings
