I don't know why this is common with keke drivers, messengers, drivers, office assistants and lower class people.

You see a struggling driver, sponsoring one girl in school with his hard earned money.

I had one office assistant then when I was still in the investment banking sector. This guy was practically spending his salary on one chic working as a cleaner in another bank.

The chic was busy sleeping with bankers where she worked. She was later absorbed as a contract staff and bid bye bye to the office assistance guy in my former office.

The guy went into depression straight. His performance dropped and almost got the boot as his work required effectiveness and agility.

Guys, please learn and focus your energy towards developing your capability and capacity to grow and succeed in life than focusing on chics.

Chei, Nigerians! Una no get joy I swear - See finishing!!

And buhari is in Egypt enjoying himself

The South African President hurriedly left Cairo to return back to South Africa because of the power crises that just began. ESKOM, the state utility company is facing serious challenge and had to cut power off to greater part of the South Africans.

See leadership in action. for Nigerian leaders, blackout is a common phenomenon and it is a non issue

for once, I may have to applaud a Nigerian government building in terms of landscaping and aesthetics. I don't know why we neglect bricks in building construction, especially in universities.

If you come to UK and other parts of Europe and US, you see red bricks buildings in Universities, looking aesthetically appealing.

The contractor did a nice job with the outside environment. Landscaping and green grass areas are a fundamental part of buildings, especially university buildings, where students could be outdoor on the lush green grass land, reading their books as it is done abroad.

Nigerians and stupidity. If I talk now, Dem go say na bad belle.

See how Joshua is getting all the attentions from Nigerians but the guy no send anybody. See how he proudly displayed the British flag.

People are here claiming Joshua is our own and the guy is not even associating himself with Nigeria.

He comes, enjoys himself and his celebrity status in Nigeria and jet off back to UK.

Cuppy is here dying for him.

How does it feel when you love someone that doesn't love you back in same measure?

Nawao, so na MC frodd dey do now? At all at all na him worse pass. Bro, please continue your hustle.

See the resemblance! A hybrid and refined form of her dad. Blood is strong honestly. Her mum's complexion moderated her father's color to produce a beautiful offspring. That's how life is.

I look at my daughter and all I could see is a far more beautiful and good looking form of me in her

Kai, Nigerians no get joy I swear. See how everybody is shouting come back. They want them to come back and join them in their sufferings in Nigeria.

But what is wrong with Nigerian and African migrant women? E no de hard them, once they enter abroad, na to open nyash begin born because of the benefit even when the immigration status have not been determined. For their mind, the baby na de assurance wey dem get stay back. That's why a lot of them came back with children from south Africa, europe and Libya

Believe me, they will not be deported just because of the last child that was born there. The thing has put the home affairs in dilemma on what to do to the family. They will surely win as some human right group will stand for them unlike Europe and US, were populism and far right establishments have taken over and there is no more sympathy for illegal migrants.

Beautification that would not be maintained. When you see environment and the way lawns are maintained abroad, you start wondering why Nigerian mentality is different.

Government should focus on tackling poverty and human development. An uneducated and illiterate society does not value aesthetics and does not know what a decent and lively environment is. That's why you see so much lawlessness in the street of Lagos.

Does Nigeria and Nigerian know what sustainability is all about? Sustainability is impossible in this country. We are all copying westerners to be in the trend. As long as we are still running generators, commuting in fossil powered vehicles, dumping refuse where they are not supposed to be, using AC in the building 24 hours and contributing to climate change problems, there is no sustainability.

No Nigerian company can claim to be sustainable in their operation - Access bank should be sincere. I know say na one oyibo outfit will give that kind of award after collecting their fees.

I told my son when he was much younger that it is bad to throw dirts out the window of buses or on the road. One day we went out and I absentmindedly threw a wrap of gala out, the face my son made ehn! He said mummy, but you told me this, that the other time, I was ashamed and I had to apologize. I never did that again, instead, I drop in my bag and dispose when I get home

Good one! kids learn more from our actions than what we tell them to do. They observe us a lot and try to mimic and replicate our actions. Same for the environment and society. If the society is corrupt and the value systems are not in tandem with what they kids are being thought, they will start behaving the way others are doing in that society.

That's why most people behave well when they travel as the society there is conditioned for people to be discipline.

sonnie10:
Good to know that you had a nice experience.
There are couple of things to understand why it is so.
First, there is an Act known as Patient Bill of Rights. It is an Act to protect the patient. Patients know their rights and the law is very protective. So nurse are extremely careful.
Secondly, people are well vetted by the authorities before they are licensed. Nurses must be of good moral character.
Third, the compensation is high and motivates the nurses to do better.
Fourth, the society orientation is different and people are very civil especially in a professional environment
Fifth, the nursing board is very strict when it comes to patient complaints.
Sixth, the administrators and management are very effective in protecting the hospital from potential liability and claims.
Lastly, the training to become a nurse is very good and centered on care giving

Excellent! We need to work on our value system in Nigeria. The care and comfort provided by the nurses to me and my wife after delivery was top notch, and they kept calling to check on both the mum and the baby.

Work ethics need to change in our country and people should show utmost dedication in whatever they do irrespective of the pay. If you don't like the job and the pay, resign and do not constitute a nuisance to the profession.

I agreed on the point you mentioned on vetting. As a student in UK in 2009, I got a job in old people's home to care for the elderly and the sick in Perth, Scotland. I was vetted by the Scottish authority, and a copy of that vetting sent to me and the care home since the job requires contact with vulnerable people.

Nigerians and gross indiscipline! Must you throw items from the window? See how passengers littered the side ways of the train coaches with used items.

It is sad how we behave in this country but when we go abroad, we start smiling hypocritically to the whites with fake accents and behaving as we are the most well-mannered.

You will even see some professionals and people that should know throwing things from their cars on the road. Some will sit and watch their kids wound down the window and throw things on the road.

I am just imagining your type of person in my mind. Quiet, introverted and poor in academics , but exceptionally talented in art works. You seem to be from a wealthy family for them to sponsor you abroad.

My sister, you don't need university degree to succeed. You have talent in art, develop and polish this talent. Work on self image and esteem. Be bold and confident. If you happen to find your self outside this country for studies, please pick art and develop your raw talent there.

You will be more valued , and your art works will start receiving attention, being a woman. Society over there is more sympathetic to females talents and entrepreneurship.

All these divorce that have their families abroad. Probably, he married oyibo woman that he divorced and the woman is with the kids. He came back and set up his medical practice in Nigeria.

My best experience with nurses are the ones at Memorial Herman Hospital, Houston and Ben Taub, Houston, all in US.

What a wonderful experience! They made me had a rethink of my perception of nursing profession, especially my perception of Nigerian nurses, with all due apologies to the ever hard working ones.

All na for show. See how he stood for the cameras. This was done first by a graduate assistant lecturer in a University in US. I cant remember the name of the school again. The thing went viral and people commended the lecturer.

This guy just one use the opportunity do him and get popularity. see how he was busy looking at the camera, telling you it was not real.

The US lecturer did not even know that somebody snapped him as he collected the baby from the student and continued teaching.

Nigeria's tourism sector is nothing to write home about. Our standards are terribly bad and low.

If this were to be Kenya or South Africa, you will see how they will use bricks and natural stones to design the hang out areas unlike the dilapidated building I am seeing there

DFAMEGUY11S:
Your external wall tile here

I like that one that looks like wood. How much is it?

Is that Seyi , the comedian?

Story! It is better to be safe than sorry.

Lagos is a peculiar case. Please see how to settle those boys to avoid trouble. I saw a situation where the boys came at night and destroyed someone"s property because he refused to settle boys.

Police and lawyers won't help you. Don't hire soldiers or police for protection. Once those boys are after you for not settling them, oyo na your name.

I had to do the need full and settled. I paid one of the members extra sef to help stay guard to guide my property why construction went on.

Those within my neighbourhood that wanted to play "smart" with the omoniles hear am no be small. Some got their property damaged.

With Omo Sheriff and Idris on guard, we are making progress.

I don't know why we just abandoned coal. Coal is a major export commodity that the country could earn so much money from. Nigerian coal is even the best as the carbon content is low just like our oil has a low sulphur content.

forget all these climate change people, coal plants are still being established across Europe and the world - Poland just opened one of the most modern coal fired electricity plant and china is still importing coal to fire its coal plant because of cheap electricity it generate, making their goods competitive and cheap in the international market.

Lets see how we could use coal to generate power here and also for export. Coal powered the European Union countries and America in the 18th century as the energy from coal is one of the cheapest.

All these artificially inseminated born lions - they all look awkward like albinos. Go to Kruga park in South Africa or the low grass land glade of Botswana and see a true beast of a lion and her cub. Even the cubs in the wild looks muscular than this timid albino lion.

Watch NATGEOWILD and see a true beast.

Nigeria's environment is so disorganized, chaotic and crude.

Anytime you have pictures of any disaster, you see disorganized society, poor and wretched citizens trooping to catch a glimpse, poor road networks, poor public power wirings.

Our leaders go abroad and see how towns and cities are planned but will come here and continue to give us rubbish and we the people applaud them.

My sympathy to the victims.

Zooposki:
Nigerian Authorities should remove Jamb or make it more like SAT, and build more private/public universities, so all the monies wasted in foreign countries should be invested in Nigeria.

It is not about removing JAMB and building more universities. It is about the Nigerian system and mentality. Our mentality, cultural orientation, behavior and value system are not in sync with the modern world thinking.

I for once will never allow my kids to near the gate of any Nigerian University. People go abroad to study to experience decency and orderliness why in school and not the kind of mentality and behavior we have in Nigeria.

Nigerians go abroad to treat typhoid and some topical diseases because of the appalling behavior of the medical system here. There has to be a radical shift in the ways we think and behave.

Nigerians and instant killings . See how they have made the man's wife a widow and his children, fatherless.

From the picture, I could guess that the pregnant lady there is the man's wife and the kid must be his. The old man likely is his father.

Poverty is bad honestly. My sympathy to the bereaved and to the alleged "raped" victim.

This should not be the reason to murder the man in cold blood and police should investigate. He was killed after the alleged "rape" and not caught in the act. As was narrated, killed at night.

We are cabling this tnis building around lekki
Ongoing project

What is the total cost of materials that would be needed for complete cabling of this building you put there?

Her school uniform is even above her knee - As someone earlier said, her mum may be retired slay queen.

I inherited love for books, reading and quest for knowledge from my Dad.
He never went to secondary school or university. He finished only primary school in 1961 but maintained a library and collections of books and newspapers he read that include: LACOMBs arithmetic , The Cuban Revolution, Julius Caesar, Why we struck by Adewalw Ademoyega, copies of West African Pilot Newspapers, Concord, Daily Times, Spokesman, Lagos Tribune and so many historic books and magazines.

His passion for reading was transferred to me as I saw him read a lot why I was growing up and the thing became part of me. It equally affected positively my overall academic performance and growth in Corporate Nigeria.

I also inherited his proactive character. He is always slow to act as he takes his time to study things before making a move. He weighs all options and considers all situations. These I got from him.

Lastly, I got this from both parents. They are an extremely careful people. No taking chances. This is also part of me. They don't eat or drink where they don't trust.

There are people in Nigeria still in poverty equivalent to the ones you see in Somalia

See the trauma in the faces of those women. Our government should do something to alleviate extreme poverty.

He must have a good reason for doing that. Maybe your environment is very different. Where's your site?

It is a water area. Badore Ajah

I didn't see iron rod criss crossing the surface before pouring the concrete mixture.

My Engineer laid a thick black nylon on the compacted sand and criss crossed the length and breath of the surface with 12mm iron before pouring the concrete mix.

Did he do the right thing as it was very expensive for me. I
