Indian people and stupid love

There will still be defection

I foresee five members of smaller parties defecting to Bibi's side before the deadline for the formation of a new government

Nevertheless, it is time for Benjamin to go - Israel need to chart a new path without Benjamine Netanyahu

This is the model I have been advocating for in the past.

Government has no business with running certain things

The government should construct rail tracks, Criss crossing the length and breadth of this country, including mono rail tracks for inter city movement and allow the private sector to get their own trains and run the full transportation business

There should be a central control room where all the rail tracks, scheduling and movements are done

The private operators would be paying access fees to the government, apart from their normal regular taxes

Same could be replicated with the telecom sector, where the government invest in the underground fiber cables and other high capital infrastructures, with access fees charged to the telecom operators, to access the optic fibers

There are whole lots of ways Government could make money without getting involved in the day-to-day running of certain civilian infrastructures.

Parish priests and pastors should look into what happens in the Youth choir in every church

Some member are fond of being in an "unholy" relationship most of the time

My 17 year old girl, living with me is being asked out by a male member of the choir

Fantastic projects all around Lagos but the menace of Agberos and street urchins is making a mess of the whole thing

Just go to Oshodi bus interchange and see how the magnificent multimillion dollar edifice put up by Ambode is wasting.

The whole structure is just a shadow of it former self, with agberos, wheelbarrow pushers, street urchins and thieves having a field day

Every where is in a stench, with urine and human shits everywhere.

Human capital development remains the best form of any development.

If you first develop physical infrastructure before humans, the undeveloped and archaic humans would make a mess of the beautiful structures you have put

Develop humans first before physical development, the developed humans would improved further the physical development to suit the improved taste.

I hope they won't wipe out management fees from the local merchant banks in Nigeria. I hope they are not coming to dominate the merchant banking businesses because of their size.

I usually see the barrack on my way to the airport. I thought he was from Calabar/ Akwa Ibom axis based on the name.

In as much as what the Emir said was right, why did he not make the same comment when Buhari campaigned two consecutive times and was in his palace, despite the fact that bandits were ravaging Katsina and all communities within?

Selective criticism is not what I clap for - stand for one thing, no matter who the person is or how he is related to you.

His emphasis was more on Tinubu and his family - the criticism he never gave to Buhari

Identity politics is the main problem of this country.

Nothing sweet pass travelling to many countries at a short notice without requiring a visa

There is a couple in my estate, retired and could travel to many countries without visa as they hold British passports

No visa hassles; no embassy stress, just hop on the plane and go visit their children and tour the world

They just came back from Rome on tourism.

Hmmm......Travel ban loading for Nigerians

Uganda, Congo and some countries in East Africa are under travel by EU, Canada and US because of Ebola

I pray this is immediately contained to avoid further spread

Wike should hit the ground running and avoid politics for now

They should just do interlocking on that stretch of the road to avoid any future repairs

Interlocking roads in Lagos have proven to be the solution to constant washing off of the roads by rains

All the interlocked roads in Lagos are still strong without any issue, even when there is absence of good drainage system

Coal tar and bitumen use have not helped Lagos roads

All the inner roads constructed with interlocking paving stones have remained but those coal tar roads have been washed off by the rains

Holding dual citizenship is not the problem of leadership in Nigeria

There are politicians that are not dual citizens, full - blooded Nigerians and they are looting the country dry

People should be allowed to hold any citizenship of their choice as long as they are diligent to their job and are ready to put Nigeria first

Renouncing a citizenship of another country will not changed a bad politician or leader.

I have serious reservation about the integrity of 2027 elections.

See Wike's confidence in his comments about his ability to "deliver" votes

Always have extra transport money. Danfo fit breakdown at anytime on the road and both the driver and his conductor will disappear.

Don't apply to any job you see written on a wall with salary to be paid and the phone number to call. . This is their means of eating first time magas that are in Lagos and are desperately looking for jobs

Using police or army escort are just for formality. Once your attackers mean you, they would just demobilised your escorts and finish you off.

This is why I laugh at politicians and VIP people using escort. Any one that mean you will definitly hit you and your escorts.

Escorts that are inside vehicle, fully exposed, who may not react fast as bullets rains on them.

Some Gen Z mothers are slowly introducing this bleaching stuff on their children. Go to any supermarket or online cosmetics shops, you will see them looking for baby lotions with "toning " or "whitening " labels. They all wants their kids to look "yellow " and be addressed as "fair child ".

Most cosmetics companies, both home and abroad, have noted the madness among Nigerian women and the reason they kept adding whitening ingredients on children's body creams to attract potential Gen Z mothers, with exorbitant prices.

The rainbow coalition controls the rigging machinery in the state. So, the electorate may make their choices but those that controls the rigging ecosystem will "triumph".

For him to pull off that "victory" for APC in 2023 when he was not that powerful compared to now was not a child's play. So, in essence, he still has the capacity to pull off another "victory" at all costs.

It was Patience Jonathan, please

She was powerful in PDP, more than her husband

Family still remains everything. If you make all the money and fails to raise a decent Family, you will not be happy. Lots of successful business men have badly behaved children, whom they did NOT pay attention to, as their businesses were of utmost priority to them. Imagine raising a son that could challenge you, even at the point of raising his hands on you. The stubbornness of that son didn't just start at his adult level. It must have built up right from infancy, when the required training and attention were not provided.

Lots of wealthy Nigerians, living in Nigeria, are regretting sending their kids abroad, so early. One from my town is currently lamenting how his son he sent abroad at age 12, turned out. If you are sending him or her, ensure you or your wife is with him.

Nigerians and low standards

OP, travel, please. Outside of Nigeria.

May be, the best in Nigeria or in Lagos.

This area of Anambra has been the epicenter for communal crisis since I was a child

Land is always a source of conflict within most agrarian communities, coupled with huge unemployment crises within that locality

There has to be deliberate policies to put the idle youths within those communities into productive use.

Funny enough, that area is the food basket of Anambra and sitting on huge hydrocarbons.

I thought he was extradited by the Iranian government on US request. That would have been a very "breaking" news. Iran and US have no extradition treaty.

These are the actions that makes it difficult for some organizations to hire Nigerians.

UK just announced that Teachers from Nigeria and Ghana are no longer qualified for the accelerated teaching opportunities offered to immigrants because of difficulty in verifying credentials, qualifications and other claims presented by Nigerian candidates.

Lots of forgeries and use of non existing companies and job descriptions that one never did just to get ahead of the system.

RAINBOW coalition everywhere - both hidden and unhidden

This Wike and the APC governors go put leg for one trouser

No wonder the governors are not happy with the role he is playing

He did not sponsor any person for the presidential election but are putting up candidates for other elective posts.

I am sure BAT would not mind as long as he wins the presidential election. Wike's candidates could win in any other elective positions.

I knew it would be all these Pakistanis and middle Eastern men. They will leave their ancestral homes and come to UK with their family crude traditions. It must have been a family affair; may be, the woman may have slept with someone or wanted to marry someone that the family didn't approve.

Big man, big problem, big complications.

This is a concrete jungle. I start loosing interest when something starts becoming too complicated, including building and houses. My love for mknimalist-designed houses without much huge sizes and excessive design

Wike is playing a very smart card. He is planting his PDP guys in some states to ensure that PDP remains viable come 2031. I am suspecting that he wants to pair with Saraki for the PDP ticket in 2031. He still wants to have full control of PDP structure for the 2031 battle. He doesn't care if his PDP candidates defeat APC candidates.

The donor should get a contractor to do the construction directly. I have noticed that donating money to institutions, organisations and groups for one thing or the other ends up being misappropriated and under utilised.

All the juices manufactured by all these Indians and Lebanese contains the same ingredients. Maybe, the women failed to register theirs. I don't bother drinking any thing labelled as juice in Nigeria if its not freshly squeezed from fruits at home. I will rather take coke than take all those Lebanese- package fruit juices

martinskelly:
All this 40 years old people ehn, be looking like 50 or even 60 years.

Sometimes, too much money makes one to look older. Forget, the stress of running a one man enterprise could be overwhelming, despite the money. I am 47 but this guy looks far older than me. One of my town's man in trade fair, a successful young importer, celebrated his 38th year birthday last week. If not told, you will assume he is 48. I know him and know his age grade in my village
