Peticoat or in local parlance "shimi"

Did anyone notice that Qatar and most of the middle East once had a vibrant and free born black population. All but wiped out as at today.

Which kin tokunbo be this?

Even their kings(so-called custodians of the culture) are using bleaching creams.

You are a fool. Has Nigeria so decayed that the common regards and respect to the dead has also flown out of the door?

Nobody resigns in Nigeria. I thought we all knew that. It's his turn and his villages turn. It is a turn by turn democracy.

Bro, not worth the trouble. It's aesthetic at best. For functionality the dash vents will cool the car well enough

For fear of sounding stupid, i often sit back and wonder ( especially since they are such an opaque and closed country ) if the Chinese are not printing whatever money they need. Especially in regards to all the loans now being given to African states in RMB (China's local currency)

Kobojunkie:
Because they are afraid your kids maybe starving....

No but in a system that works where no teacher or principal is stealing the food they want the food to achieve the purpose for which it was provided. Perhaps you do not know that schools in America provide breakfast and lunch till 12th grade. It is this same food they are now giving since students are at home

One clear observation from reading posts here in Nairaland forum. Nigeria will never ever be a country. The level of hate, acrimony at all levels and strata of society is fearful. Its seeps down even unto the upcoming generation. I only smell doom for Nigeria. Plodding and wallowing without any real purpose until it tears itself up from within. I dare to say that PMB didnt do anything to heal a country but rather engaged in the most divisive leadership by a president ever witnessed. I dont mean to be insulting but I am happy i left Nigeria and i am even more happy my children are living their life devoid of such hatred and bigotry

I will just summarize this post as best as i can. The Chinese economy is so intertwined with the US economy that if the U.S tanks, China will sink with it. China is prosperous because of its investment in, and trade with the U.S. Alternatively, the U.S economy can likely stay afloat without China even though trade balances will affect it somewhat. However, the Chinese need to pray and always hope that U.S is strong as that is their guarantee to having prosperity too.

The U.S Govt is not giving food to anyone. However, there are several not for profit bodies giving food. Yes, it is true all the schools are still feeding their respective students. All you have to do is go and get it. My kid's school do theirs between 11am up till 12.30pm everyday. Sometimes when you do not go for about 2 days in a row the schools starts calling and pleading almost that you come gey the meals.

Ishilove:
This is very amusing, and a tad exaggerated.

In which way bro? Sometimes the pet is actually the most important member of the house. I recall a white woman telling me she has a pet dog before mentioning the daughter almost as an afterthought.

With Trump as president they will be brought to their knees , he already rounded them up before this virus and he will again ...So you are saying it's Joe Biden that will bring them to their knees ? oga I hope you are not gay oooo

Our people just sit there in Nigeria and say things they know nothing about. Has any Republican president ever left a booming economy? No. Obama met unemployment at 12% and left with unemployment at 4.5%. In all of Trump's noise his best was 4%. And he had to do nothing. Now there are challenges, let us see him prove himself. But i am not hopeful.

NI.5 million is grossly understated. O am on a similar project myself. Iron Rod alone cost me N800,000. Cement will set you back another N600k at least. Gravel is N75,000 a tipper load and you need 6 trips. There is still plank and bamboo then labour. I would say at least N2.5 mlion for a solid job

I dont see the big deal. For every one of such persons bandied in the post almost all other regions can boast of thousands with same if not better qualifications. But without the advantages the North bestows on its own such as very low cut off to enter university. A 100% guarantee of its graduates getting the best jobs and climbing the hierarchy with ease. So no big deal when i see the sort of people you are making noise about. And did i mention that even the PTDF scholarship scheme is at best a Northern Nigerian scholarship scheme. What a country.

The analysts are predicting from what they can see, but life can take a turn in a blink..

But few things are sure, the world including you and I have learnt new habits in the cause of the pandemic and lockdown.. crude oil would be in less use even when things are assumed back to normal..

True talk my brother. I am not resident in Nigeria but we all have family and any such occurence will impact on our own people. The politicians will always take care of themselves no matter what. Low oil prices will not stop a Local Government Chairman from building a duplex he did not have nor from acquiring one or two exotic cars he never thought he would be able to buy. For too long there have been calls for proper federalism that would usher real growth and diversification. The ignoring of that call has now led to calls for outright balkanization of the Country. It is not too late to do what is right for the Country to prosper

And what does low revenues matter to the politicians? Would it stop a local Government Chairman from building that duplex he did not have before he became Chairman? Or buying one or two exotic cars he never dreamt of owning? As usual it is the poeple that will bear the brunt of the down turn in the economy.

I laugh in latin. So APC members have becoms saints now abi? On top of Abacha's asset ( sorry loot). The day the money was referred to as asset was the day i knew that finally, Nigeria is dead and buried

And to summarize it up as someone stated earlier, in saner climes and well run countries, Malami and even our so called Chief Justice of Nigeria would NEVER have smelt those positions. Only can happen in Nigeria. Bigots

These people just take Nigerians as fools. That is the most disrespectful thing about this administration. All these in a bid to support the moronic claim by PMB that Abacha did not steal. Fools.

Federal Republic of Northern Nigeria

Believe at your own peril. So now the NBS has reliable data. Even NBS does not have data on how many staff it has talk less of having data covering the whole of Nigeria

GraGra247:
I agree but only in this case Buhari is the mother Theresa. As much as I dislike Buhari, Obasanjo is far worse than Buhari.

Obasanjo literally sold the country to himself and his associates.

And yet how it would be nice to go back to the time of OBJ. Or do you think life is worth living under PMB,

Believe at your peril

vastolord4:
Just one person.. Bubu knew about the loot that's why he's been fighting to become the president all this while just to claim them

PMB denied on more than one occasion ( and this is on record ) that Abacha did not steal any money

BUT I THOUGHT PMB STATED CATEGORICALLY THAT ABACHA DID NOT STEAL ANY MONEY? I HAVE HIM ON RECORD SAYING THAT. SHAME ON HIM FOR TAKING THE MONEY WHICH BY THE WAY, IS ONLY GOING TO BE RE-LOOTED

Let us pray that a 2nd wave is not as bad as the experts have predicted

Hmmmm. Wonder why the Jonathan Government didnt use this law. He was so abused especially by people who make up this present administration yet no one was arrested for that.
