Those roads are bright in zebra color - with no area of creativity of design change.

Zebra colour is the norm in most West African countries.

Omofaye99:
Religion have always been our problem bro.

Too much emphasis on ethnicity too especially when it matters little in the pursuit of competence and development.

ogatboy:
Did pandemic start in 2016? You forgot that in 2008 there was global recession?? What's your other excuse??

In 2008, there were enough savings from the Obasanjo era due to the high oil prices. Buhari inherited a depleted account, no savings. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala warned against it in the Jonathan era but the Governors insisted otherwise.

Also in 2008, oil prices were around 140 dollars to the barrel.

The only person who have managed to keep the economy afloat and increase our foreign reserves more than double fold even with oil prices as low as 9 dollars per barrel (coupled with sanctions from the West) is Abacha. Abacha also reduced inflation from 54% to 9% despite having some of the lowest oil prices at the time coupled with low foreign investments. It seems our politicians today need to go learn how he pulled all of that off.
What is more surprising is that even with all of that, we keep retrieving so called Abacha's loot where he stored them in foreign accounts till this day.

Kuruptnigga:
of course. And again Peter Obi is the only Christian candidate despite the outgoing president being Muslim. Definitely peter obi will get Christian solidarity Nationwide. Even apostles suleman is behind him.

Hmm I don't care about religion and ethnicity though. I believe the sooner the elites as well as exposed people like us begin to de-emphasize religion and ethnicity in our politics, the better for us.

Atk1nson:
Buhari took nigeria into a recession before the pandemic even started....same thing he did when he was a military ruler.

The guy is a serial failure

Google Buharism. It is a unique term for Buhari's policies.

The policies are great long term if implemented well but they bring sufferings short term. Because of Buharism, Babangida took action in 1985 due to the suffering of the masses, but I which he didn't.

We suffered then but we would have reaped the benefits long term. Babangida came in and immediately took us into the IMF trap.

erniok:
Which year did Brent get to $140 to even exceed it. Get your facts right before regurgitating street anthems.

You are right, it was at Yar Adua's time not Jonathan's time, I got it wrong there.
However, you can't deny that until late 2014, Oil prices on the average hovered around 110 dollars per barrel.

oz4real83:
GDP grew under OBJ, grew more under Yar'dua, then Nose-dived under GEJ before being murdered under PMB . Some people keep saying GEJ is better than PMB, but I have always maintained that both of them are the same. While one is clueless, the other is a dullard and both qualities lead to the same results . Why will you borrow to pay salaries if your economy was really "growing" as they claimed under GEJ

GEJ was also lucky oil prices stood at 140 dollars and above for the majority of his tenure.

Balogunodua:
Lolzzz


Nigeria does not end on the internet...

Internet support does not win election...so is propaganda.

Trust me, this is gradually getting beyond just the Internet bro.

Kuruptnigga:
Shut up your mouth. I’m not a tribalist Person, unlike you! You will never see me call any Yoruba person afonja and all those nonsense that you guys displayed everywhere on nairaland.

Didn’t I mention osibanjo in my previous post. Is osibanjo not a Yoruba person. You yorubas even called him a betrayal for not stepping down for drugnubu. Tinubu... are you mad. No sane person will even vote for that sick, weak, peepoo man

Stop talking like a foool!! Who’s jealous of drugnubu. Suffer no dey tire you. Come make drugnubu aka the jagabandits peeepooo the President of Nigeria 2023. Every south south and south East are behind Peter Obi. E go shock you like india film he won’t even come 4th in the presidential election. Just save this post.

It seems all the Southern youths are behind Peter Obi these days, even young people I know in places like Osun, Lagos, etc. We'll see how it goes.

Schemerkhiz:
Coach Randy Waldrum will definitely miss the Services of Esther Ijeoma Okoronkwo at the AWCON...


Let's hope she gets fit as soon as possible for next Season cause the World Cup is knocking already....

She's so skillful. I like skillful players.

Schemerkhiz:
Copper queens captain Barbara Banda has missed the team’s training session today.

Barbara has been excused to finalize her move to Spain , according to coach Bruce Mwape.

Reports all over the media has it that she's moving to Real Madrid Femenino

She will be moving to a Spanish club in the womens la liga.

That lady would score lots of goals in that league. I rate her as African all time 3rd best striker behind only Perpetua Nkwocha and Mercy Akide (in my opinion).

Kazikazi:
You can simply call her a Tom boy.I think what wIl hap
en is a repetition of a story of caster swmenya of SA. Many folks complained about caster since she had a flat chest with all those man's strength.

And I don't know how much the Europeans will cry tears after seeing Tz winning the first world cup

easy easy man. You just qualified for your first ever World Cup.

Kazikazi:
A guy came to Tz first went to kenya and he then decided to come back to TZ. What does that tells you about your tourism?

You said what? Sport?
Kwikwikwi are u here?

Congratulations to Tanzania U17 qualifying for their first ever football World Cup ( Both male and female category).
That lady though who scored 4 goals against Cameroon, is she simply a Tomboy? I heard there were protests from the Cameroonians asserting that she be checked.

Balogunodua:
Aswear Tinubu gat no chill.....the other aspirant's are not even close....

Hope say Tinubu go perform if he win sha oo. I'm not his fan but if he wins in 2023, then I have no choice than to hope he does well.

obaaderemi:
Did you follow the Apc primaries? It was a blast. My own be say make power just comot north patapata.

Obaaderemi do you think Tinubu would lead us forward in the next eight years?
A Tinubu or Atiku, what is the easier choice??

Jack Rich my man

samorobo:
Yeah they come here read one of two gossip and feel like they have us by our balls,they are irrelevant and we can’t expend our energies camping on a Kenya site just to fetch bad new and camouflage as their citizens just to score cheap points.

Many foreigners listen to gossips online and boom....they suddenly start parroting same thing they see and think they know everything. I mistook him for an Ipob or Oduduwa Nigerian , because he wrote exactly like one.

ejimatic:
. With due respect sir or ma no candidate can fix Nigeria. The seat must be occupied by a person anyway.

Flesh and Blood did not reveal this unto you.

PapaNnamdi:
The Monitor lizard is worshiped as god in my home town, i once asked my dad why the animal was so predominant in the streets at our hometown, it eats ppls eggs and enter their homes or kitchen at will to get whatever and you would see the indigenes thanking the gods for visiting their home as it is a good sign and a blessing.

it was weird to me, a lagosian as at then, some 12 - 15 years ago.
my dad told me that long ago, during a tribe war, the reptile helped our ancestors escape death when they were ambushed, by wading off the enemy and showing them a path that led to their escape.
i would have mentioned the tribe here but it will give my identity to ppl already trying to identify me on nairaland.

Also i served in benue state.
they dont kill snakes in wuese,'
legend had that the snake made a bridge for their great grandfathers when they where escaping the slave masters or so.

crazy things begining to make small sense.
nawa

The story of snake or serpent is something you would find common in almost every culture of the world and almost all historical tales. The Bible also identifies the deceiver of Adam and Eve as a serpent, and then in Revelation, it refers to satan as that "Old Dragon".

samorobo:
Lol that idiot ain’t Nigerian,he is a Kenyan.

Wow the guy got me fooled as well. He spoke like a Nigerian there.

Shma:
On average, a black SAn is richer than a Nigerian.... Simply because of the opportunity and vast spread of development across the region which facilitates economic empowerment of individuals In a grand scheme of things.

To the extremist... Nigerians are waaay smarter and richer than any black South African.

And you know me, my guy .. We've been on this forum since early 2019... Why would a fool in a shack give me a hard time when he's spewing nonsense?

The reason South African blacks are richer than Nigerian blacks is that an average Nigerian black who is of the middle class bracket thinks of travelling to the U.K or the U.S to further their education.

The middle class South African blacks do not travel in thesame way. If 40% of middle class Nigerian blacks in the U.S, U.K, and Canada relocate to Nigeria to set up corporations or work in already existing big corporations, then with the Nigerian population, Nigeria would definitely have more millionaire blacks.

South Africa would continue to have richer blacks because of the way Nigeria is being ran that makes the Nigerian people believe they have to go to Europe or U.S to make it big.

In the end no African country comes close to South Africa in terms of LinkedIn corporate job openings. Nigeria is a distant second, which is not so good considering the Nigerian population.

Shma:
Huh! Bruh?

So a South African was very correct when he said Tanzanians are feeding kenya, Nigerians are buying homes in Kenya, and a deflection when I countered it with the same narrative?

Why are you paranoid?

Lol easy easy man .

Funflipper:
Unfortunately. the man in the middle has never won his polling unit in any election. He does not have the political structure to match Atiku.

By political structure, you mean bribe. Simply because he couldn't bribe the polling unit. Are Nigerians truly ready?
