Didn't know many Nairalanders love Seun Okinbaloye this way

I would be surprised if Seun Okinbaloye is not a nairalander. I have my reasons.

Nbotee:
See the mumu dat can barely read issuing threats and demands.. Jus imagine the illiterate addressing the press

I don't believe that this life is not balanced but I know that Nigeria is not balance. Those illiterate you're talking about, in the scheme of things in Nigeria are more powerful than you with all the books and degrees you've acquired. Never underestimate illiterate people in Nigeria. Otherwise an illiterate who scored F9 in English wouldn't be your president.

Badabada:
If not that the system is not working, her bank details is enough to nail that fraudster. Sometimes I wonder why we register for al this so called BVN, NIMC AND NIN. Misplaced priorities. Congratulations @OP.Gods wisdom will not elude us this year.

I say this without any apology. Those running the government in this country are thieves. Pure and simple. The only reason for all those NIN, BVN and all is so that in the event of a repeat of endsars they would be able to trace and kill those involved in the agitation. They have no intention of catching criminals.

Hassanmaye:
Chai do we really have medical doctors roaming the streets??!!

Every course is saturated in Nigeria. There is no course you want to read now that we don't have graduates in that field roaming the streets. Every year students graduate from school, but how many hospitals or jobs are being created for these graduates? Most doctors want to be employed by the government but how many can the government really employ? Just read your book and forget about job for now. When you graduate things will take care of itself. You might even read a course people feel it's stupid yet you'll come out being gainfully employed before your peers.

aroundtheearth:
It's ridiculous that they didn't attend to them. Since when are T-shirt and shorts, tank tops and trousers, inappropriate dressing?

Nigeria in 2021. Pathetic.

Don't allow any idiot online deceive you. The dressing is inappropriate for a formal organization. There is no way he can enter organisations like house of assembly, Aso rock, embassies or job interview dressed in that manner. I had been sent back for not putting on tie when I entered Edo state house of Assembly. Oga when you start job hunting you will understand some of these things better.

After knowing all these, how does it change the price of garri in the market?

SultanM:
I just finished secondary school with a good waec result, I just want to hear from a Nigerian point of view. I have Pharmacy and Architecture on my mind, please house which one is more lucrative in Nigeria?

My brother lucrative is individual dependent. What Mr A sees as lucrative might be nonsense to Mr B. For example, Medical related courses might look lucrative but we have lots of medical graduates looking for jobs in the streets. Some even now work in Banks.

Considering the Nigeria reality, I will tell you my 3 courses I feel it's best currently for Nigeria as a career.

1. Agriculture. Any agricultural field course is a bomb. Maybe it's because I'm a poultry farmer I don't know, but if I'm to delve into the reasons why this course is so good, we might not stop reading. One of the reasons this course stand out is that you can easily become your own boss.

2. Any computer related course. To be honest if you don't know this then I don't know what to say to you. The areas where you will be able to fit in when you graduate is quite broad. Now please consider that I'm not looking at how to get a job after graduation but if you can make a career out of what you've studied. There are a lot of courses in this area. I hope you know that.

3. Lastly. Any medical course. If your parents are well loaded you can choose these courses but personally considering the Nigerian reality I see this as a waste. The reason I included this is that after graduation you can easily relocate to another country. Countries like UK, Australia, Canada will like to have you when you graduate.

They didn't just refer to it as witchcraft, it was what you may call witchcraft today. Especially these days, with their media hyped satanic diseases.

African spirituality is the foundation of medicine and healing. Especially the Bantus. Our people are gifted specially by YAH with knowledge of herbal medicine. Some receive visions at night of angels leading them to a forest and showing them herbs to use to cure someone who will come the following day. It's purely supernatural.

Mundeles stole this knowledge, told our people it's evil, now they use it against us. Even the word Chemistry is from Khemet + mystery.

I wasn't referring to African medicine. I was talking about the real English medicine. That is - the history of medicine.

Please change the title of the thread to Kaduna government ask to remain closed

There is nothing new here. If you read the history of medicine, you will see it started with people referring to it as witchcraft. This was so even in the days of Jesus. The Bible does not support the use of drugs when sick. All these we do now is civilisation.

The op is talking nonsense as usual. In the Bible days wine was already alcoholic. It is even recently we started hearing of non alcoholic wine. There are even some verses where Christian's were advised not to be drunk with wine but be filled with the spirit. Please don't say what you don't know

helinues:
Nigeria is stinkingly rich just that both our past and present leaders are clowns.

Considering the amount they have been stolen for years, all those listed countries are not in the same league with Nigeria. Apart from the money budgeted for development which they are not utilizing the way it supposed to be, how about the tax Nigerians have been paying? Where are they going?

There are so many natural resources to tap from apart from oil.

Kogi for example, have abundance of Uranium, scarce elements.

Please economically speaking Nigeria is an extremely poor country. I just pity for anyone thinking otherwise. We have abundance resources that if well utilised could have lifted the country from poverty but resources does not equate to wealth. You are talking of kogi having Uranium. Every state have one abundance raw material or the other but having it is not wealth, it is what you use it for. You are complaining that leaders are stealing money, have you taken out time to consider where those monies being stolen recently comes from? The recent Dasuki loot we are talking about was actually borrowed, approved by the senate. Paying civil servant is a problem to the Nigeria govt. The money generated from crude oil alone cannot pay for Nigeria's expense.

If you say Nigeria is rich, quantify it in terms of money. All the north African countries budget is higher than ours, their expenses is higher than ours, their income is also higher than ours. Or do you think Nigeria is the only country with resources in Africa?

where is atomic bomb

Almost all are atomic bombs. Just in different packages

I pray for everyone reading this right now. As far as you have entered this new year 2021 you will definitely see it's ending. Your life will never be cut short this year. You will not know COVID 19 this year and COVID 19 will not know you. Only with your ears will you hear of the disease. It will not come near you. So shall it be!! In JESUS name.

MASTAkiLLAh:
Lets see if the powers that be will allow you shake their table.

Advent of gsm in Nigeria, MTN & Econet started at N50 per minute with various silly excuses, a third player owned by Mike Adenuga came on board and promised N10 per minute. They gave him a faulty spectrum capable of sending him through Nigeria’s lenghty and expensive judicial labyrinth for years. Baba had to pipe low.

TSTV came along with pay per view and other goodies, shaking the table of DSTV. The company has been frustrated into silence and they'll only rear their ugly head when DSTV and Nigerian politicians allow them to come up for air.

There are many other instances but these two will let you know you cant just shake the table and introduce innovations without taking permission from those at the top

About your first example, Mtn and Econet original charges started with about N80 and it later reduced to 60 naira when Nitel entered the GSM. The GLO you are talking about shook the table by starting per second billing. Something MTN had earlier said was impossible. I was surprised when they moved to per second billing otherwise they would have been history by now.

About your second example, don't think it's over because from the look of things those guys(TSTV) have the support of the Nigerian Legislators. Anything can still happen. In the line of business, there is a lot of politics at play.

"The noise got too loud, but now the noise can stop"

That statement was deep coming from him. To even think he battled depression for 7 years while carrying out his daily activities makes me believe depression got no particular symptom to get people's attention to you.

You can look and appear like the happiest person alive in the public, social media or gathering, whereas you are mentally struggling and battling a lot.

You can battle it for 10 years without even knowing you are battling depression because you'll have to nurture your system on how to cope and endure overthinking, unrest and no peace of mind. All these will be endured without speaking to anyone because you've gotten use to it and feel it's normal until it hits you to the point you can't endure anymore which normally leads to suicidal thoughts.

Please learn to speak up when you start loosing your sanity and peace of mind.

To add to what you wrote, I also have been battling with depression for some years until last year January when I attempted suicide. It was after the rescue that I was taken to the hospital and I knew that there is actually a drug for depression. I mean a real drug that stops you from being depressed and I think the drug will alter your mood because after taking it I felt better but after two weeks it started and I was administered another dosage. My point here is that many Nigerians don't know there is a drug for depression. They think when you are taken to the hospital you will be advised and spoken to. More like psychologically working on you. This is not true. I feel many people needs to know depression can be cured. And the economic situation in Nigeria, I'm wondering how we are even still sane here.

Teewhy2:
The government should reactivate the other shut down isolation centers as cases increase.

I couldn't stop laughing after reading your post. You seem to be the only one not aware COVID 19 Is fake. Even the government knows it is fake. Isolation centres have been converted to something else.

4ckyou:
But it's same white that brought religion into Africa too.
Before toothpaste we have dogoyaro(chewing stick), it's still better till today and na wetin my dad still they use then.

No mind them. There are different plants we use in brushing our teeth in ancient Benin kingdom before the coming of potoki (whites). Even religion was not brought by whites. The people of Benin worshipped God before the coming of the white. We had a church which still exist today, Holy Arosa. It's the first church in Africa. Infact what will shock many people is that religion was started by blacks not white. Read your history people, ancient Egyptian were black men and they were the people that originated writing as a result of their trade with Arabs.

heniford2:
pity what after deeper life church most have paid the damage done to this poor boy his family will fly him outside the country to begin afresh no pity him pity those who refuse to speak out

See there is a reason why people are not allowed to display the face of a minor in crimes like rape or similar crime offences. This woman is not properly advised.she can fight for the child without displaying his face all over the internet. What this lady is doing is going to negatively affect the future of the boy take it or leave it.

Bodexman:
I like where he said wealthy people don't like attention, rich people do.

Many of us always take advantage of nice places to take pictures, Wealthy people will be like what's so special?

God pls make me wealthy, I'm ready to work for it but I need your Grace o.

Actually it is a state of the mind.

tinsel:
How many prisoners escaped there during endsars? We must now blame the fulanis.

I understand what you mean but these guys are Fulani and not escapees. You just need to travel here to see the reality.

This was around 2009 or 2010 if I'm not mistaken. This story went viral then. I thank God for the life of the kid.

V7place:
Yes,

Thus Jesus was born in 5 B.C. and not 1 AD. It was too late to change the calendar; but fact is fact. This year is 2025 years after the birth of the Christ, next year is 2026 after the birth of Christ!

Thats Fact and you can take it to the bank!

Oga I no fit laff you. It's 2021 After the death of Christ not after his birth. So if we are to calculate the year after his birth it might even be 2040 or 2030.

SocialJustice:
Kidnappers use victim's phone. Use your brain.

It is you that should use your brain. If for example I kidnap you and your family report to the police that they don't know your whereabouts. The police are searching for you and suddenly I start making calls demanding for ransom using your phone, if tracking was possible; are they not suppose to know my whereabouts by tracking your phone and arresting me? Continue defending this useless government. Not everyone is stupid.

Kidnappers that kidnap people and continue to make calls for ransom have not been tracked na you Dem one track. How useless can such govt be?

What I know is that in Nigeria here COVID 19 is fake. The fake covid19 is in Nigeria.

Cyberterror:
This is what I wanted to type now. Good to know you are thinking straight not like the other clowns in this thread. This is what countries like America, UK and Canada have been secretly doing for ages but they will tell Africans and Latin Americans not to do same using mumbo jumbo economic fear mongering and clowns will buy hook, line and sinker.

This thread is making me laugh i swear. It seems most people here didn't take economics as a serious subject in secondary school. Most of my students in SS 2 will conveniently answer this question.

Arrewa:
Borno youths now defending their villages

With sticks and Dane guns. Smh

markidoo:
Good thing to defend your territory,, but make this empowerment of youths with arms no go turn another thing. My thoughts though

Let it turn to anything. It can never be as bad as boko haram.

My only fear is the type of gun they are suppose to use in engaging boko haram. This is a suicide mission

Can't labour be scrapped? I think they've outlive their usefulness. The legislature should start looking into scrapping the useless organisation

Pelxmiye:
I have been hearing a lot about BMC zombies, BMC e-idiots, BMC e-rats?

All these are all conspiracies?
Do we really have people collecting 20K-30K to distort the truth, create propaganda movements and defend the government aggressively?

I am yet to believe this, recently i saw a screenshot of a WhatsApp group tagged "Buhari Media Center? Was it fake? Do we really have Nairaland users who are members of that group, it's hard to believe ,maybe someone should knock some sense into my head oo, or maybe people who have a clue about it can tell us more about it.

Guys is it real Sha? If it is, then those members must be government spies on Nairalana

It is very real. A foreign media even carried an independent investigation on them and found out they were real. Most of them were fired after Buhari won the second term. But immediately after the #endsars they have been reinstated. Two of those names you mentioned are part of them.

mcquin:
I see one Yenefer up there blabbing against PDP's 16years and I ask, did Nigerians vote in APC to continue perpetuating PDP's style of leadership? What was APC's manifesto? If APC knew they weren't out to change nothing, why did they bother Nigerians with the "change" anthem at all?

They campaigned using restructuring and cutting governance cost, now when you ask them, they start passing the bulk; Presidency will claim it's the role of legislators, legislators will say the Executive should take the lead, and I ask is it not same party that bred them, is it not same rubber stamp legislators?

May God bless you
