APC una well done.....i dont know what to blame for the problem of Nigerian youths....stupidity, selfishness, illiteracy....i dont just know

My brother, the matter no tire you. Smh for the current state of mind and mentality of Nigeria youths

LMAO...... The kind of special treatment wey cow they get under this government, u go fear Na. Now am starting to believe when some people say cows are second class citizen under this administration.

If this government put the time and effort spent on cow in the economy, the country for no bad as each be so..... Smh

Nigeria can print naira you cannot print dollars.

All the naira Jonathan printed during for elections are still in circulation.
That is before all the naira printed during the oil boom .
You cannot just dump more naira into an already naira infested economy.
All it will lead to is more inflation.

What Nigerian needs even more than diversification, is a domesticated economy.
An economy in which your

1 Milk comes from a Nigerian diary.
2 your chicken comes from a Nigerian poultry
3 Cement
4 Roofing sheet
5 tomatoes paste
6 petrol etc
Yas long as the producers' priorities are not baking money in Swiss accounts and buying properties in London.
The Nigerian economy has to find her true level first of of all. All those MINT talk na wash.
You cannot expect to be OK if you are depending on the same 2 million barrels( now 1.5 Mil) of crude oil today like you had 30 years ago,even though your population has doubled.

The funny thing is that all this things u mentioned are not too hard to do, but it is the same person in government that wld sabotage all effort just for financial gains. So what do the poor masses do.

How is the government supposed to handle this? BBOG sits out every day in Abuja. They cannot just barge into Aso Rock any time they feel like. If that was the way every aggrieved sect was allowed into Aso Rock, things will not be okay. They are however very respected and encouraged. Nobody is teargassing them or scattering their assembly or throwing chairs at them like in the previous administration. There is free press and free speech. Dr Oby was interviewed on ChannelsTV as well. Also, they have had their audience with the president himself a couple of times. Everyone has a schedule and a job to do i suppose. There is time for everything, including meeting with BBOG IMHO.

My brother, chill out jor. This is like the third time this is happening continuously since the last time they went to the presidenis and he walked out base on him saying his heart cldnt stand seeing the parents of the girls in tears.

What is wrong is wrong, u guys shld stop trying to spin things around. OK what stops the government from sending somebody to them, Atleast to speak to them, calm dem down. This administration is just been cruel. If it was the last administration, u wld see the whole country breathing fire and brimstone. All of a sudden everyone has a job and schedule.

If the president is too busy to Atleast show concern to its citizens instead of sitting down there in Aso Rock, saying he knows the plight of its citizens, what happens to the president wife or the minister of women affair? Like the saying goes, action speaks louder than words.

All of a sudden the BBOG movement is a disturbance or no longer important enuf for this administration to Atleast take few minutes to console frail heart. Make una they fear God and try get conscience.

Like I said, since nobody is speaking out, watch other protest been treated the same way, it's already happening, immigration 2000 comes to mind, imagine the cruelty melted out on poor citizens and the government didn't Bart an eyebrow.

This administration is all talk and little or no action mainly because of blind supporters like u. When there was a thread on how government officials is becoming rich with the disastrous forex policy at the expense of suffering masses, your like and the corruption fighting president we have are no where to be found and u guys become mute all of a sudden, make una continue, we are all in the same country.

bigeagleeye:
I am surprised at the way Nigerian youths will cheaply mock a peaceful protest like this! Is it really about Oby or about a nation that you must be proud to call your own? Somebody even called her useless..over what?

I have not been perplexed like this in a long time...more painful when you think of it that if anyone is a contributor on Nairaland such is likely to have been through Secondary School at least...

What do you expect the BBOG to do because if they had stopped the protest before now same people would have complained of scam?

Oby has done her part, their generation is winding down and the baton must be passed...think about it in your closet, the way you are going now...DO YOU HAVE A SPACE IN THE FUTURE?

Nairaland is 10+years, Seun is less than 40years! That is instructive

My brother, the thing no tire you on the shameful set of things we call youth in this country. Can u imagine the comments of majority of the so called youths.
And one we wonder y we have a grandfather as president when majority of the so called leaders of tomorrow reason tru there anus.

No sane individual will make mockery of this protesters, instead they wld speak against the way the government is handling this. Watch and see how future protest will be treated the same way cos nobody is speaking up right now. I smh for my dear country.

Aigbofa:
Biafra did not produce jack, it is a blatant lie. You don't products armored tanks without any factory or factories.

I don't see your point of argument my bro. Am not ibo, neither am I yuroba. Putting sentiments aside, if the country has continued on this track, either assemble or build from scratch, do you know where we wld be by now?
If it's so easy to assemble parts, how many have the federal government done since then?
Hate it or love it, the ibo ethnic is blessed. And if we are really serious in becoming a manufacturing and exporting country, sorry to say, they are the key.

Good day, Pls what is the cost estimate of a clean

Quakertellicus1:
Yeah,, them oil price is not high like it used to be

Fact is....we are a poor nation. When oil price was high...we paid no taxes.

Remember how Sanusi Lamido Sanusi removed ATM charges? (and even his enemies hailed him). Well....back then oil was above $90 per barrel. We could afford to do that as a result.

Remember when Emefiele brought it back? Oil was on a downward trend then. We could no longer afford to stop taxing ATM cards like we used to.

When a country's main revenue earner loses cash.....you have to start raising the taxes. And every oil producer is doing it.

We cannot afford surbsidy. Sorry....but it is the price we pay for relying on oil.

Will u shut up with all this ur nonsense oil talk. What is ur own. Why is it the citizen the one to bear the load. Is the anything wrong in Buhari and his cabinet cutting their salary and allowance to reduce cost or is there anything wrong in reducing the rubbish senator or reps. U keep saying the price of oil dropped, but this government is feeding with one billion naira for a year and continue with the expensive system of government.

Last weekend we had to come out to put the road in my street in other ourselves, generate my own water and light, can't even make use of government hospital despite all the tax I pay and u are hear spewing jargons.

Well I don't blame individuals like u, u still living off somebody, maybe ur parents. Cos no sane person will gladly part with his or her hard earn money in the name of tax to the useless bunch of individual we call government.

AlPeter:
it is cruel, it iS heartleSs but must be done to prevnt thousands of other girls(if not millions) frm being victims of the same circumstance. The bombardment must continue, you'v got to knw in war there are always casualties, innocents die but wars must be fought or evil prevails, the Biafran and Hiroshima are prime examples.

Heartless human being, I believe u won't say this if ur sister was among those girls.

Progressive01:
Ok, let me guess, when he apologises for the "5%" talk, the economy would start turning around I suppose.

And they sound as though they know any better.

Smh.

Abeg, make una carry una tribal nonsense comot from my face this morning.

You seem to always over think things. What Buhari lack is diplomacy. His lack of diplomacy and unnecessary utterances is the major cause of must unrest in this country.

He shld try to be diplomatic, act as the father he is, try bringing peace and calm the various agitating group in the country. A peaceful environment will provide ground from positive growth and development. That is one area he is failing.

Yujin:
If you are sincere with this piece I guess you are repentant then. Welcome to the right side. I can see a new country emerging from the smoldering ashes of this Nigeria. We warned but prejudice and hatred blinded a whole lot of people and today we are here. If not for unbridled anger, who would have rejected the sound economic team of GEJ for one antediluvian tyrant called buhari? Any way, what has been written must be accomplished. Welcome Feyi.

I keep asking this question, was good luck and Buhari our only option in last presidential election? Y do u guys keep sounding as if we had no other choice apart from those two. So annoying

blueto:
so how did you become a minion to the ‘fantastically corrupt’ Bubu that made plethora infelicitous blunders?

A president that Forgot the name of his vice-presidential running-mate. Called him Yemi Osunbade instead of Yemi Osinbajo.
Told President Obama the name of his political party is the All Nigeria’s Peoples’ Congress when it is All Progressives Congress. Call hia party on CNN the All Progressives Confidence.

Told Al Jazeera INEC means Independent Nigerian Electoral Commission instead of Independent National Electoral Commission. Even though West Germany ceased to exist in 1999 and the current German president is Joachim Gauck, referred to German Chancellor, Angela Merkel as “President Michelle of West Germany.”

How such a person was able to indoctrinate or subjugate an ‘erudite’ still amazes me.

My brother this was the point I was trying to pass before the election, all these blunder shows the man was too old and was not intellectually capable to govern over a complex country like Nigeria. But trust Nigerians, they never seem to disappoint.

The dull once wld say Jonathan was never a choice and I keep asking them was Buhari and Jonathan our only choice during the last election we had close to 15 political parties, APC and PDP include with better candidate than those two and with fresh ideas and a chance to do this differently from the way of the old. But laziness, sentiments and bigotry will never allow us in this country to do the right time. What a shame.

onatisi:
We warned Nigerians about the so called bogus budget that buhari presented which makes no economic sense but only few Nigerians were smart enough to see truth in what we were saying then.

PROPHET ONATISI..... DUDE UR FORESIGHT IS SOMETHING ELSE.

Semper247:
@reyginus

Good points u raised. But I noticed these hateful and vile trends since his assumption of office. It now appears whatever is making this set of people angry is borne out of sentiment than logic.

It is well understood people are not happy for the economic downturn but it was envisaged and expected. The right things is to constructively criticize and proffer alternative to the method. When it degenerates to calling of names, it is no longer sensible.

How do u equate being angry to supporting looters?

I also feel the impact of recession but surely I can hope for a better tomorrow because there seem to be a break in govt wasteful spending and looting.

Why would a sane person prefer the continuity of status quo of the last admin..... We were surely heading towards greater trouble than we currently experiencing.

I will also have to ask u in what other ways exactly, apart from the terrible economy, is buhari making this people angry?

How would people kick against relaunching of "war against indiscipline "? Meaning we enjoy being undisciplined Abi?

Many things that this set of people hold in to just to pour out venom on the president.

The moment u start believing things are been done differently by this government from the way it was done by the previous, shows how delusional you are.

Imagine u talking about a break in govt wasteful spending and looting.....SMH. Can u Pls tell us exactly how this government is more economical than the previous once?

Lovely move, to me, this should be a criteria in occupying any political post in this country. If u want to be a president or a governor,minster, senator, local government chairman etc, ur ward shld only attend federal or state institutions. No schooling abroad or private school. We shld apply this and let's see how our educational sector will not improve.

Like I keep saying making Nigeria great is not that difficult, we just need a sincere person without any religious sentiments and tribal bigotry at the top and we the citizen be ready to make the necessary sacrifice and we will see this country soar to great heighlet

But the wicked politician we have wld never let this happen, cos the feel the level of poverty and ignorance keeps us in check and most of us still come here fighting ourselves over people who have stolen our future.

To me if u have served this country in one political capacity since independent till now, u shld hide ur head in shame.

Emmatdayo:
u just sit there and talk like smone who didn't pass through primary skull,who is incharge of the olympic team? No be NOC. Is it the direct responsibility of the president?,when there re other pressing and more important matters to attend to. Wat is the work of NOC if the president is to take responsibility for the olympic team.

Ur mate they rio dey represent their country, u dey here dey kill ur self of hatred, mumu

Pressing and more important matters like subsidising religious trip Shey? U guys will never stop amazing me. So u will claim he has no idea of this national embarrassment shey? All he has to do is to give strict direction and his word wld be followed to the very end. We should Pls stop supporting mediocrity and this embarrassment reflects more on him the president Dan the ineffective minister of sport he appointed

foladara777:
Unfortunately, you are wrong. For a person to be tried and convicted for a crime, the crime and its penalty must be written down in some statute or the other... Section 36(12) of the constitution. Budget padding entails adding more project- govt projects to the budget not conversion of government revenue to personal possession and since it is not prohibited by the criminal code or any other relevant statute, and penalty not prescribed, then it is not a crime

But when the president refuse to sign same budget because of the padding, u guys are hailing him and calling for the head of those who padded the budget. All of a sudden it's no longer a crime. When will u guys stop speaking from the both side of your mouth and without shame too.

So u are saying any member of the house can just inflat the budget and it's OK. Pls there is a due process for everything and I believe if he has gone true the due process in adding what ever he wanted to add to the budget, this whole drama won't have happened. What he did was for his benefit and it is wrong. And please stop twisting the law. Na wa for una oh

Pls what's ur quotation for this

If it's too late for u, u can still fight for a better future for ur younger ones or ur unborn children, that is if u are intelligent enuf to reason in that direction.

Buhari okays N160 to $1 for Christian pilgrims

http://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-okays-n160-to-1-for-christian-pilgrims/
So guys let's stop pretending

WTF are u talking about, he okays n160 for Christian when the official rate was n197 and okays 197 for Muslim when the official rate is 320, what kind of comparison is that. I don't think u have ever paid tax in u life cos if u do, u won't open ur mouth to talk anyhow when ur hard earn money is been wasted.

This Muslim hajj and christian pilgrimage of what benefit is it to the country? This shldnt be any serious government problem with the current situation of the country. If u want to go for any religious trip, do that on ur own,the government shld not be involve in things like this. Talking about misplaced priorities. SMH for Nigeria as a country

nwaanambra1:
bros! why u come quote out of all the guys?

Me wey get every reason to say happy birthday to ha because she is from my state! Haba!

Lol... Sorry man. Just so annoying seeing must guys making an A*s of themselves when it comes to woman mata.
How is ur day going man?

bignero:

nwaanambra1:

WTF is wrong with u guys, who gives a flying f*ck who started or completed the project? Na their personal money them use do am? Make una go find better thing do with una time, instead of stupid argument and name calling. Nigeria youth are really slow poke, celebrating mediocrity. Rubbish

@image123

First of all, how wld u call trying to make the Bible clearer for a human being a waste of time no matter the circumstances? What ever sympathizer u assume that person to be, a true Christian wld never Call making anybody understanding the Bible no matter their faith a waste of time,instead they see it as a challenge. U have repeated that statement over and over again and it starting to sound as if u are making a mockery of that person which is very poor of u as a Christian. KingEbukanaija I believe u see that but choose to ignore it, that tells much about your personality.

Another funny thing, u keep asking if somebody is a Christian cos it will make explaining easier. What exactly do u mean by that? How about if not a Christian and u are trying to win me over, but I had questions, won't u take ur time to make me see reason with u,cos u don't expect to accept everything u said to like a dummy or you will just give up on such person cos he is not a Christian so making such person understand u is a waste?

I have some questions for you and the creator of this thread kingEbukanaija

Why are we still suffering for the sins and disobedience of Adam and Eve even as Jesus Christ has die for our sin? And I believe is death washed away our sins.

Have seen instances in the Bible where the sins of fathers are visited on the children. How is that fair? How can an unborn child be paying for a sin he knows nothing about, Pls what kind of judgment is that?

Why wld God allow Job in the Bible go thru such suffering? What exactly did he do to deserve God allowing the Satan to rain such punishment on him?

Finally we all no God is the all powerful, all knowing and nothing happens without his permission and he has the final say. So why wld he allow evil things to keep happening?

PS: am a Christian just finding it hard to some story and judgment in the Bible that defiles normal ideology.

You guys keep calling people who have attained the greatest height any Nigeria citizens can hope for names like useless, dullard, drunkard, clown, buffoon etc.

If you think such of these past and current president, I wonder what u can think of ur fathers who got nothing on dem, may slowpoke I guess

These people have names, we should try to be respectful, we are Africans and respect is supposed to be our thing.

foolinlove:
So why is it that women are judged as a whole gender and men are judged on their individual attributes?

Because women do not have equality. Not socially.

Plenty of womem are treated as second class to this day. Being shamed for the way they behave, but the dame behaviour in men is rewarded.

This fight is pointless to you because you don't see any value in it. It isn't pointless to me.

But you assume your thoughts are more important than mine. Because you're a man.

You say that I'm alone... well, no. Plenty of women think the same way I do. Just not on this forum.

I really want to take sides with you on this but am finding it hard to get u.

Please can u give us examples of what u mean by women been treated as second class or been shamed for the way they behave cos they are women?

Because as far as I can tell, when it comes to women been giving equal rights as me, they tend to push the men forward themselves most times. Like someone said above, women bring up this feminist talk when it's benefiting to them.

For example you are already playing the victim card here just because the person you quote has a different opinion from yours. You saying he assumes his thoughts are better than yours cos he is a man.
