First work towards total décentralisation of power from Abuja. Economic power of each state must lie solely on each state. We said we are a capitalist economy but we are practicing more of socialist and communist economy. Why should Zamfara state leave the solid minerals in its door step and be waiting for oil in Niger Delta, why should civil servant in Lagos state be expected to be earning same with that in Borno. Nigeria is stagnant because of oil that is the short of it. Our oil production is too small to sustain our massive population. We are not Saudi or UAE, they have small population compared to their oil production that is why it is easier for them to advance with oil economy.
To me this is the only way to boost our economy first before any other thing, Next is reducing the cost of Governance to less than 20% of it's current state. Some state that are not viable to sustain itself should be merged with others, I don't know what we are doing with bicameral Legislature.Quota system will be completely phased out in most area of our national life. Corruption will be made a capital offence, A strict control of importation of things we can manufacture locally, it is only in Nigeria that you grow yam but buys pounded in at 10 times the cost of raw yam

The next time somebody will mention that Nigeria is the Giant of Africa I will shook stick to that person's mouth. We are a disgrace to Africa. Continental disgrace, Regional disgrace and national disgrace. Nonsense

I can bet it, this said company must be own by either Indian or China because this people neither follow rules or laws of their host countries, and if
NCDC mistakenly carry out test on all the workers working in all the companies own by this two countries in Nigeria, fear go fear fear for the result that will come out

It is likely company controlled by Nigerians. This one involves putting their own life also at risk,so they are likely taking it serious. Chinese and Indians especially Chinese seems more serious about this covid-19 than Nigerians We are so careless about it here

Sadteen:
Hello guys,

I just joined this forum to let this out my chest and seek help (just in case there's any possibility of finding one here). I am going through what I don't like to call (but I have to anyways) the darkest days of my life yet. I am going through severe depression. I am overburdened and overwhelmed by the human I have become

I'm a 14 years old, male, and I am attracted to the same sex. I found out about my attraction to the same sex when I was 6 after I grew very fond of one of my classmates that it went beyond what I knew everyone would call a bromantic relationship. It was confusing for me at that very young age to be experiencing that kind of feeling because I knew it wasn't morally or ethically right. I assumed my feeling an attraction for the same sex was one I would outgrow, so I didn't take it very seriously until I became a teenager and watched it surge.

I find that my attractions to the same sex is getting stronger like a raging storm. I have been to many church programs with hopes that my illness gets cured. Needless to say I always come back disappointed. This has left me feeling forsaken and too filthy to be redeemed

I am nothing but an outlier among my peers. Most of them have hit and are hitting puberty and are always talking about the opposite sex or fantasizing out loud about them while I am constantly feeling like the odd one. I'm constantly being called a Jew at school because I don't know how to woo girls nor am I seen rolling with them.

For the first time since forever, my grades have started suffering. I'm no longer interested in the things I used to be interested in. It seems the older I become, the more depressed I get. My parents think I am being rebellious and wicked failing at school because they know my IQ is at genius range. To them, I don't have any excuse to do poorly at school. But they don't understand the pain I endure being what I am. I cry myself to sleep most nights because I feel like a mistake, a filth, an abomination, a curse in human manifestation.

I am feeling suicidal but I can't leave my parents alone in this world; I am the only child. My mum waited 7 years before she had me due to infertility related issues. I was the miracle baby.
It is sad to see this is how I repay my parents. They have been my greatest supporters. I love them very much but I am losing my mind.

My faith is being shaken. I have asking God questions but I feel all alone, forlorn and abandon and left to carry this burden on my own. I had a normal childhood. I'm from a typical Nigerian home where morals and values of the bible are taught from childhood. I have been a devout Christian but my faith is trembling

And I have never being sexually abused at a young age. I don't attend an all boys school either nor have I ever attended one in the past. I was lucky to have a pretty normal childhood.

I just want to be like everyone else. I want to be like my friends. I want to be normal.

If there is anyone out there within or outside of space and time who's capable of rendering a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on please come to my aid right away.

Don't mind people trying to tell you how to change who you are. You are born a homosexual, it is not learnt. The same way a heterosexual, all of a sudden start feeling attraction to the opposite sex at early stage of life is the same way your own is opposite. Nigeria is full of hypocrites and I don't think you will ever find true happiness in a society like Nigeria. Try to learn to be strong, you will surely overcome, God still loves you the way you. Work towards leaving Nigeria after secondary school or latest after first degree and move to a country where people don't judge you because of your sexual orientation. You are going to pull through

E no concern us. Somebody give me that Buhari with toothpick meme

This is the exact same strategy pastors use to obtain all the Tithes and offering, seed from the sheep because it is all about telling some people that there is an extra terrestrial power guiding them for them to release their inner strength to achieve what ordinarily they can't without that push. OP you deserve your pay even more for what you did for your friend

My name is Uche a 100Level supposed medicine and surgery student of a Nigerian University, I used to be very brilliant and that was what instigated me to apply for Medicine and Surgery after acquiring an aggregate score of 270 in both JAMB and POST-UTME Examinations, I was then admitted a years ago into a university.

I am the only child of my parents, they have spent so much on me just to make sure I become a doctor, dad had to sell one of his plots of land to pay for my registration fees, purchase a brand new laptop, a phone and clothes for me and all my needs, Mum who has no job since she was sacked by the state government will always try to send the little that will pass through her, when I think of the way she announced to her friends when I gained admission to study Medicine it brings tears from my eyes.

It will be an injustice on me to be blamed or for me to blame myself, I know the effort I have also made, I have always taken my studies serious, I never missed any lecture, I neither miss assignments nor tests, I sit at the front of the class, I don't keep bad gangs, I have never attended a party, sometimes I do RTDB (Read Till Day Break), what is then my offense? why me?

At the end of my 100 level Second semester my CGP was reading 4.2 without a single carryover, I was very happy because I thought I had scaled through the danger zone.

The unexpected occurred when I logged into the school portal at the end of my Second Semester Examination to check my result, I cleared all the courses with A's and B's but a course was reading Carryover, I nearly fainted when I saw the result, it was a biology course I offered in second semester to me the course was the simplest of all. I did not inform my parents because I din not want to dishearten them.

The school resumed, so I went to my HOD and complained, she took me to the Exam office who searched thoroughly for my script and from what I saw it was obvious I failed, I scored 32% and was asked to change department, my HOD advised that I go to Biological Sciences, my eyes were filled with tears.

How do I tell my parents this, it only mean I have brought shame to them. I have remained in school since then crying from one angle to another I don't know whether to go home to my parents to inform them of the truth or keep telling them lies.

I need your sincere advice.

Boy success in life has little to do with what you studied in school. There are hungry doctors everywhere same time there are highly successful people who studied some of those courses you are looking down on now. Pick one of those courses spend the four years and come out and face the real world. Four to five years down the line after NYSC you will see how right I was

Airhead, I'm talking about Edo state. When a clueless person attacks, it's just so glaring that they're clueless. Meanwhile Buhari your mentor is an illiterate. Don't mention me if you don't have something logical to say pls

Bingo the other day you were all about Kogi. I guess you've forgotten.Now I know you are all doing it for Nairaland likes from ignorants like you that is why you forgot the shit you wrote a while ago easily

James4bright:
You don't conclude that way. Some people might be very intellectual but very bad with maths or anything that has to do with calculation.

I had a female literature teacher back then who was so damn bad with maths, and wasn't ashamed.

She might just be smarter than you in other areas. What if she typed computer codes, and asked you what it meant? if you couldn't answer does that make you dull?

Which computer code. Can someone who can't do simple arithmetic know anything about computer code? The op is right. You people shouldn't justify the laziness of many youths with this motivational nonsense of having talent in a certain area. Many youths are just naturally born lazy in all ramifications not that they are not good at anything. She may even be better than op in the arithmetic but she never put an effort to be good at anything

Before the end of this week, Edo state would have made top 4.
Some people are on this thread telling people that government is not exaggerating those figures. But look at Edo state, the governor has been clamouring for indirect primary and has been using Covid 19 to back his call, now, few days to the primaries edo cases starts to skyrocket. Use your brain. If you think it's a coincidence then your gullibility knows no bounds.

But how are we sure that NCDC didn't subtract 3 people so that the figures won't be 419

Boy Kogi Governor your Mentor have already left you behind and you are still here yearning trash

The problem is how much will be stolen from that money. What mechanism is being put in place to repay. Nigerian Leaders will be collecting loans like if it is free money

BeautifulWoman:
This is pure travesty. Christianity is of faith and such guidelines are against the tenants of our Christian faith.

I was brought up in a godly home where my parents thought us the applications of Faith. If we believe Christ is above sickness, why then are we distancing right in his church.

Because you don't understand what faith is. It is not an artificial device you have to test whether it is working or not. You don't apply faith where what is needed is common sense. That is the confusion you lot are having . You discard the tool God gave you to work at the moment and start asking him for another. Before you were born the work of God have been going on, when you are gone it will still go on,nothing is going to stop it,even when you think something is stopping it

I can no longer see the "shit is getting real" crew or are they tired?

Where are all those who predicted that Nigeria would be a major hit cos of her poor health system, well I'm happy to announce to u that borno state alone discharged 135 Covid patient in a single day. Lol. Is God not wonderful. That porous health system is discharging 135 Covid 19 patient in a single day.

What happened to all the mysterious deaths in Kano, they have just stopped all of a sudden. And now, people are no longer falling sick and dying mysteriously in Kano, they are even recording 6 cases in 2 days with that large population

NCDC defense panel here on nairaland keep getting more questions to answer each day.

Believe it or not these figures are inflated
Covid 19 is in Nigeria but have been blown out of proportion.

Congulations to you for lying inside your bedroom and postulating what the number of infected should be while fools roam the street of Nigeria bringing in fake figures

Stupid Governor. You developed testing kits for a disease you don't even have an index case for in your state. How did you then confirm that your testing kits are working. Yahaya Bello is the main reason why the idea that younger Generation of Leaders are better is just fallacy

The Landlord cum Landlords of lagos have finally decided to take over their lion share of the billions made daily on all okada and Keke in Lagos for good. Imagine how can they be looking and those billions will be going away in their back

Aboki kidnapper. Ransome through bank account. He would have told them to carry the cash come him house come give am.

Femi it is a fact that you can't be biting the same breast you are sucking from so we understand. Until the breast is completely removed from your mouth then we know when you are serious. Until then continue protecting the source of your livelihood but just understand it is the same thing every other Nigerian crying under Buhari is trying to do

The major thing this Pandemic has exposed is the lie in the invinciblity of America, how they are far ahead of every other country, how they are the the most organised society.
Americans today are living on the glory of their fore fathers who worked their ass off to move their country far ahead of others years back. The current generation of Americans have already started what is going to be the final fall of the great Empire in few years. Their Ancestors will be turning in their graves now as they watched their efforts been destroyed by their prodigal sons and daughters.
Many rising countries especially place like China have already seen the future and working tirelessly to take over the position when finally America is capitulated. I only pity a fool like Nigeria who will be fool forever

Hotzone:
Good morning to you. I don’t know if I am over reacting but I proposed to my girl a week ago and she was so excited about it and it was so romantic but I just noticed to my greatest chagrin that she doesn’t wear her engagement ring to work.

So I complained and she said she’s facing some spiritual challenges. We don’t live together as she claims her faith is against it. We work in the same organization and her position is a little higher than mine but I take care of bills concerning her but it seems I am getting tired with much terms and conditions. It’s draining my energy.

Please, I need u to talk to me because I am about to “collect list” from her kinsmen.

Oga why should you be putting engagement ring now instead of wedding ring. Corona wedding is same as engagement, no much expenses so what is your excuse?. I will be your husband is different from i am your husband. Leave the poor girl alone to still keep her options open if you are not ready to be in Marriage now.

Yet nobody knows anybody who knows anyone who has the virus.

The population of Nigeria is 200,000,000, the no of infected is 8000.That means 1 in every 25,000 people in Nigeria is infected. This implies that you can meet 25,000 people but not yet seen someone infected. Now tell me how many people have you asked whether they have covid-19 or not?

FeliciaOja:
It is now I understand what being strict does, it makes you live a life of pretence, cos when I got into University I wanted to explore everything  I didn’t have the chance of doing at home.

I drank alcohol like crazy, smoked weed, hung out with rich boys, partying, doing drugs but when I go visit my Parents, I still act like that innocent girl they have always known.

My Dad’s strictness led to my Pretence, if he had drawn me close like my mum did, I would have been a better kid.

When parents use strictness to shut down a kids curiosity instead of guiding them, you are making matters worse for that kid. Because eventually that curiosity will lead them into adventures and exploring all those things you refused them to..

Looking back, al the flogging I received from my dad only made me more stubborn and ruthless.

Nothing really changed? Until my mum made me change for good.

Parents need to use wisdom not force..

This your theory works negatively on few cases, I also came from a family of very strict parentage. Most children of strict parents learn to respect themselves in time because as far as your parents is concerned you don't have second opportunity. African children are more likely to be wayward if coming from lenient parentage than strict parentage. Though many things in life doesn't always follow as we planned

Take am easy no sue them because of cream , they may be a mistake and no one is above That .

That it is a mistake is even a major reason to sue them. Such mistake can cause them their licence. They may even be willing to sharply do out of court settlement in such case.

At the end of it all marriage doesn't make sense

Most of all those boys are economic migrants. The Nothern part of Nigeria is more like a desert, no much economic activity except farming. The only fear is fear of them turning Rogue if they can't find the work they are looking for. Why are people bent on stroking up fears and uneasiness in this country

Mr Governor the only gate you need to lock is the gate of the greed of the people manning the borders. After that you don't need any physical gates

Shey na Tinubu go vote for direct primary in Edo APC primary election?

When the day comes you know the meaning of the proverb "He who pays the piper detects the tune"

To a large extent true. The way mother sees virginity is what she is going to project to her daughters and most of them are likely going to tow that line once they hold their mum in high esteem

Obaseki isn't a coward like Ambode...This dude got balls.

The major issue is that Oshiomole isn't as powerful in Edo as Tinubu is in Lagos. Tinubu is the Emperor in Lagos while Oshiomole is a Land owner in Edo
