Jayceon:I repeat: Save your pity for Jacob Zuma and the noisemaker Julius malema ![]() |
How are you Mr Gottfried21.....I see you haven't gotten fried yet ![]() How is work? |
Jayceon:I must applaud your "put Nigerians in their place" crusade.....it is indeed quite intriguing to watch you guys run around the internet in search of materials for your smear campaign ![]() Now,have you considered that if Nigeria,a country that you claim is one of Africa's poorest and most corrupt,is the continent's biggest economy(even in recession and without stable electricity),then it actually speak volume of your beloved South Africa(which is far 3rd by the way, behind a war-engrossed Egypt)?? ![]() Apart from being the biggest economy,Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation and largest democracy (7th largest in the world) : but of course,I'm quite sure you know these already. ![]() Perhaps you should reason that it may be jealousy that plagues you,do you perchance feel inferior even with your numerous megacities,stable electricity, and world class infrastructures? Do you envy Nigeria for always "stealing" the spotlight and being celebrated all over despite your perceived backwardness and poverty of the country?? It is indeed disturbing that a South African will always be a slave in his own country,either to the memories of your brutal past or the malicious whims of your "boar" minority lords and conniving thieving black leaders who seem to be running your economy and infrastructures(which were built by white taskmasters on the sweaty backs of black south african slaves) to the ground. Nigeria on the other hand is a rising glory: a blossoming powerhouse that is about to unlock her potentials,even though we already dwarf South Africa in our current form.Imagine that!. In conclusion,you should consider that perhaps it is your fading relevance on the continent that incites you so much. |
Iblawi1:That is how they come every year..lol I guess Mr Jayceon is here for his own round of thrashing.... |
Jayceon:"Afraid"?? ![]() My,you do have an over-bloated opinion of yourself ![]() So far I have seen no proof of Nigerians telling "lies and delusion" on this thread.... What I see is you brandishing pointless propaganda in order to massage your country's sense of importance..... ![]() |
Jayceon:Do not lie to me Mr Jayceon,Lord Evarn hates lies ![]() How can it be that you are cooling your feet on a Nigerian social forum if not for your obsessive interest with Nigeria?? Now here is my point,it is rude to insult a country on her flagship social media; if South Africans are been insulted or indicted here,then you should simply swallow it with a smile( ) because no one forced you to open an account on this website.If you cannot stomach being verbally engaged: then get ready to be demolished ![]() |
I believe its Secretary of State,John Kerry |
Jayceon:I'm well versed in the art of trolling if the mood soothes me.....so do not tempt Lord Evarn. Mr Jayceon,what exactly makes you so fixated on my dear nation Nigeria?? |
Jayceon:It's been a while on this thread...... interestingly,I heard some disturbing news from south africa I heard about Jacob Zuma..... |
Jayceon:Its only Nigeria that uses generators?? hmm.....Let me see.....receive sense in Jesus name!. |
Astounding economic advancement. We will get it right with good leadership and abolishment of term limit for president. |
The best way for Africa to rise to power is through a monumental world crisis(maybe not an apocalyptic third world war,but something similar). If trump becomes president, the world will be plunged into chaos in under 3 years. If we get leaders that will plan well,we can take advantage of such a situation. That is why I say,let trump win. |
Johnnyessence:By "trumpers", I mean Nigerians who support Donald Trump. I don't think they do it for love of america,who cares about strengthening a domineering world power like america?? Many pans africanists and patriots see trump as an opportunity to break America's hegemony. Johnnyessence:By "trumpers", I mean Nigerians who support Donald Trump.

Rossikk:I don't think they are supporting Trump out of love or empathy for america.Most trumpers are people who just want Africa to be free of domineering interference and western enslavement; trump seem to be of the idea that america has no business in world politics,instead the country need to put itself to order,kick out immigrants, build walls bla bla bla.....as stupid as this idea seems,it would really be to our interest if trump pack up all US military bases in Africa and crumble his nation's power while at it.

Interesting..... |
I do not think it would come to that.....but we shall see on tuesday. Eitherways,Africa will benefit negatively,no matter the outcome.But in event of a war, it would be prudent for African countries to buy off US debts(which they would be sure to incur massively)..... we can enslave the west if there is a major non-nuclear war that will reposition the world economic order.

A very interesting and prompt article,I must say. |
NaijaMutant:If you read my post keenly,you will be aware of my preference. |
If their is a clear cut roadmap(blueprint) on how the money will be spent and if the government will be transparent with the use of the money.Then their is no reason why we shouldn't borrow. However,I wouldnt advice borrowing to service recurrent expenditures; let the money be borrowed for strictly capital projects that will reflate the economy,provide jobs and generate revenue that will be used to repay the loan. |
Quite an interesting development,if accurate. Let the man clear himself before the EFCC,and if necessary,in court. It is quite glaring that the corruption in the civil service dwarfs that of the three arms of government combined. But I'm quite interested in why the president allowed his daughter to marry a man facing EFCC probe?,at least the wedding should have been put on hold till the case is resolved,whether guilty or not.Considering the delicate position of the bride's father and to avoid undue interference. |
I see the debate is still on ....hmmm
Sorry for derailing guys....keep up the conversation ![]() |
durangokid:How is that hypocrisy?? |
It would be a welcome development if we are already self-sufficient. We shouldn't focus on rice alone,palm oil and cocoa can be harnesses into a big source of national revenue as we can see in the case of Malaysia and Indonesia that export palm oil worth over $16 billion every year. |

Its been about one year and 5 months since the President Buhari led APC administration took over power,but as fortune would have it,he seem to have come to power at a time when international price of crude oil has crumbled,thereby depleting national resources and fanning the flames of ethnic/sectarian violence. We would recall that President Buhari came to power riding on the back of the "Change" mantra and promising a vigorous anti-corruption drive that he explained would refocus the Nigerian system back on track.However, things seems to have gone South-hill for him; after barely a year in power,Nigeria entered into recession,fuel price spiked to an all time high,power generation crumbled as low as zero(a first even for Nigeria), inflation and mass retrenchment/in payment of salaries has greatly eroded the goodwill this administration enjoyed initially. But the focus of this writeup is not to point out the obvious,but to look deeply into why exactly Nigeria seems the way it is and also to perhaps proffer solutions. Recently,we have heard many analyst and prominent Nigerians from different quaters singing the song of diversification and restructuring.Now,the principle of economic diversification is very sound and should be the next way forward, but we must realise that the effects of diversification are long term in nature.Also,this government seems to be battling with shortage of funds and therefore finding difficulty in putting in place some policies. But on the issue of restructuring, I find it interesting that those calling for restructuring just woke up at this time when Nigeria is in recession and therefore cannot undergo such massive shift in governance.Weren't these the same people there all these years?,didn't they see the need to restructure before now?,why now?. Curiously,I find it quite interesting that the idea that Nigeria should go back to regional system of federalism is being floated around.Have we considered the implications of such shake-up?,or do we just decide to copy the UK because it has worked for them?,the same way we copied the US. I believe what Nigeria needs for rapid development is massive empowerment of the local governments, and possibly weakening the powers and duties of the federal and state governments.Let the local governments have more resources,and let the federal and states be regulatory.This way,development will penetrate rapidly to the grassroots. But bringing up a regional government seems infeasible: considering our political dynamics, every region would always seek more power at the centre,and the sense of patriotism will decrease as each region harbours it own agenda that may hamper that of other regions in the federation. In conclusion,I think what Nigeria needs is urgent diversifications and accountability. Even without restructuring,we will make progress,albeit it will be at a slower pace. |
A very welcome development at a time when Nigerians import rice worth over N356 billion per annum. Other Riverine states like Benue and Edo should adopt this initiative,supported by the federal government. |
Interesting.....the ICC has been grossly biased and incompetent so far,imagine that war crimes perpetrated by western countries are swept under the rug but African leaders are targeted for alleged "crimes against humanity".....Let Africa boycott ICC,let an African court be established and given constitutional powers and mandate to go after criminal minded African leaders. |
sirliu:I like the way you think.....lol |
You are advising that peoples' money(in domiciliary accounts) be converted to naira,and the dollar used to shore up foreign exchange. Its a bold idea. But I don't know if we have the equivalent of such amount($20 billion) in naira,not forgetting that trillions of naira are already circulated in the economy.The CBN may then have to mint the necessary amount (in naira) needed to convert the dollars in the domiciliary accounts: which could lead to serious inflation when people pull out their money. |
Rolward312:Err.....fine. |
Africa has always been viewed by pan-africanists and critics of the west as a
continent under the deadly seige of neo-colonialism.This perspective may be
due to the fact that the economy of the continent is largely controlled by
foreign interests and "too-big-to-fail" multinationals,or perhaps it is because
the political atmosphere of the continent is defined by mostly western
interests,infact,one could simply conclude that it is a peculiar combination of
these two factors.It is therefore not surprising that Nigeria, the much
decorated giant of Africa is a victim of this seemingly diabolic control by
foreign powers.
This article will view the train of events as it began on the cold morning of
December 5,2011 in the white house,Washington D.C.One would ask,what is
the significance of this day to the US influence on Nigeria's politics?,Oh,its
quite simple, that was the day the president of the United State,Barack
Obama made the pronouncement that gay right will henceforth be at the
forefront of US foreign policy.Prior to this statement,the US had always
pressured African countries to forfeit the anti-gay bill that had taken root in
many African countries,but the US apparently got little success as such
approaches were rebuffed by African governments due to fear of public
backlash.On January 13,2014 Nigerian president goodluck jonathan signed the
Nigerian version of the anti gay bill into law sparking strong rebuke from
western countries.And this was where relationship between the Goodluck
Jonathan's administration and the US started breaking apart.That move by
GEJ was seen as a direct challenge to the US foreign policy and a
precedence that could spur other African countries to follow suite.
Now,let us keep in mind that the problem here is definitely not the gay right
tussle between the west and African states,the issue is about the
domineering policies and culture of "diplomatic enforcement" of the US
foreign policy towards Africa.
Not to drag matters,let me fast forward to December 1,2014.On this day,the
GEJ administration terminated an ongoing US military training exercise
targeted at training a special task force of the Nigerian army that was to be
set loose to confront the then rapidly advancing boko haram caliphate.This
decision was taken by the Nigerian government on the basis that the US
refused to sell critical military hardware to the Nigerian armed forces due to
breaches in human rights that the Nigerian government furiously denied.
Unfortunately,that move only set to further strain relationship between the
two countries and anger policy makers in Washington.January 26,2015 when
the Nigerian government raised alarm over the secret arms embargo that
was allegedly placed on Nigeria,according to military sources,the Nigerian
government's efforts to purchase Chinook military helicopters from Israel for
the war against terrorism was blocked by the US.But what should you expect
when you refused to play ball with Washington?.
The US not only stopped there,On March 23 2015,Barack Obama himself sent
a prre-election video message to Nigerians, urging Nigerians to vote for "good
governance" and warning the ruling party against carrying out any suspicious
activity.This clearly shows that the US was very interested in the outcome of
the elections, and it was no secret that Washington did not fancy the
goodluck jonathan administration.Interestingly,the present Nigerian president
Mohammadu Buhari openly commended the US for "applying pressure" on the
past administration.My fellow compatriots,wouldn't it be safe to assume that
one of the factors that led to the ousting of the former administration was
due to the US domineering influenceon the conduct of the
election?,Remember that Obama's campaign adviser joined the fray by
working for the then opposition party.
This is not to say that the 2015 election was rigged(as I do not have any
such evidence or conviction) or that the present administration is not
valid.This is only to illustrate the influence of the US in Nigeria's politics. |

? Hell no,it isn't going to work this time.It's only Nigeria on the African continent that uses generators
