Naija no de carry last.

Did he go to swim or was he wishing to get attention or did he intend to commit suicide? He should have left a note to his president.

The economic climate is highly toxic to growth and development of business.

And where is the electricity for the electric cars?

I feel that Nigerians have been fooled twice by the APC.

When I was posted to Ogun state, one of my classmates from that area tried to scare me by saying that the meaning of Ogun is juju. So, he warned me to be very cautious and he also warned me about "magun".

That is why some people die a miserable death.

Omokri is anti Igbo in all ramifications

If you see our per capita GDP someone shared here this morning you will know that things have gone out of hand.

I think Obi and the other opposition should form a group and go and beg asiwaju to step aside just like sonekan did. They should beg him because he won't leave like that.. including Abdusalami should follow them.

If Tinubu is left to continue another one year people might start eating their children out of hunger in Nigeria!

Stepping down is not in the culture of Nigerian politics. Politics is business in Nigeria and not service.

This is my first time of hearing about his father. He has always mentioned his mother, so I thought he had lost his father a long time ago.

Grabbing power and running with it is a different ballgame than delivering the goods.

Dem so see the economy to restructure, na NYSC be their problem.

We should focus on the hunger which is giving Nigerians sleepless first. We need to eat well and be healthy and happy before talking about internet.

NA WHO IMF EEPP?

Mass action is the only answer. Enough of suffering and enough of talking.

I wonder how this new minimum wage will work when some private businesses are closing down and many are struggling just to break even.

I hope and pray that the dollar crashes further. Naira was worth a lot more than the dollar when it was equal to the pound sterling.

I bought 36 Hisense televisions for my business four years ago. I have only had problems with four of them and the screens could not be found anywhere. So I had to replace them with LG TVS. Otherwise they have been very good products.

In Nigeria everything is big deal. Even to lecture in the university, they expect applicants to have a doctorate degree. However, in the UK, it's common to have even people with first degree teaching in the universities, provided they have relevant work/field experience. Lecturers with doctorates are not so common as in Nigeria.

Nawaroooo, our over sabi don too much. We sabi pass the people wey sabi pass us.

We need a proper reassessment and reorientatation of our educational system, with greater emphasis on field/work experience instead of higher degrees.

I see this as a trap to lure the IPOD into a fight, so the army will invade a whole community and kill everyone and burn down every building in the community. Nobody should fall for such a trick.

I believe that N10 million would be enough to set up a good business in Nigeria, which can make you comfortable in a short time.

Not everyone who travelled abroad is successful.

I remember that my father bought a 504 Peugeot saloon car, brand new with air conditioning and tinted glass for N8,500 in 1981.

The right step to take is to strengthen the value of the naira instead of making everyone a millionaire with currency that is worthless. Besides, increasing the salaries of workers in Nigeria more than tenfold will cause a situation of hyperinflation, which will totally erode the purchasing power of the naira, thereby making the workers to be worse off economically. The lasting solution lies in strengthening the naira and reducing the prices of commodities, particularly food items. There is no economic sense in increasing the salaries of workers twenty fold, thereby ridiculing the naira. I am surprised that the government is even thinking in this direction. I am really afraid for this country and the so called advisers to the government. Imagine a situation where everyone is a millionaire and the price of every commodity starts in thousands of naira.

Naija na use and thorowway. Make everybody borrow sense go package well for retirement ooo. Because your name na OYO (on your own).

This is a flawed pattern of thought. Your kids have their own lives, their own path. Children are not a pension plan.

Your kids deserve all the good and guidance to become a better person

Nobody should depend on their children. I have personally trained all my children in the UK where they were born and are all working as graduates, but I don't expect anything from them.

I travelled with student's ticket with Nigeria Airways to London Heathrow for one hundred and something naira in the 80s for a return ticket. There was no need for an entry visa to visit the UK. Visa was issued at the airport on arrival. All that was required was to show the immigration authorities that you have some money for shopping. Usually £200 was sufficient. £200 was equal to N200 by then. See where we are today.

I used to travel to London Heathrow in the early 80s with about N200 (two hundred naira something). I can't remember the actual amount, but it was not up to N300 (three hundred naira) for a return ticket with Nigeria Airways.

simpleseyi:
You are calling someone who is greater than your whole generation Oloshi, abi you no one the meaning of Oloshi ni?

Nobody is great except God who lives forever and ever. Everyone is going down below six feet to be eaten by termites. So, never be so naive to refer to someone who can be here today and is gone by tomorrow as being great or even greater than a whole generation. That's stupid and hero worshipping.

Where are people who graduate from this discipline expected to work? What position are they expected to occupy? And what will be their designation, witchcrafter?

When will our leaders start to take responsibility for their failures? It's a recurrent experience for every leader to either blame the predecessor(s) or some sort of cabals.

mrrandomguy:
She thought that her waist beads a.k.a. ileke idi will work on the oyinbo man like it does on the Nigerian men whose destinies have been locked in prisons in the marine kingdom.

In the past, waist beads was common among Northerners, villagers or local girls, and aṣewo. Almost all women of all culture, tribe and status now wear waist beads. It was not so before. Even sophisticated Christian women, Yoruba and Ibo women now wear it.

It has become so rampant nowadays that about 18 out of 20 women have it on their waist.

Men/boys will say "I cannot marry or date or have sex with a lady that is not wearing waist beads"...

But those who understand the times and seasons will know that this trend they call fashion is not ordinary. It is from the marine kingdom!

To all Nigerian men who have slept with waistbead wearing women, surrender your lives to Jesus Christ and be saved.

I am surprised that you have such statistics on the number of Nigerian women wearing waist beads. Did you actually sample the women one by one? What was your sample size and the population?

Necessity is the mother of invention.
