It really a shame that the elites, especially the northern elites view Nigerians as below them.

Any demand for equity and justice is immediately branded an insurrection to discredit us.

That is why they have security and we don't.
Their children have access to world-class education and we don't.
They have access to world-class healthcare, we don't.
They have access to food and we don't.

We are saying no more. Time has come to make this nation work for everybody or not for anybody at all

I sorry sorry oo

You are not any different from your so called leaders, the youths of yesterday are the leaders today, the youths today are the leaders of tomorrow, you can never run away from yourself, Christ best said it, a bad tree can never yield good fruits.

If this is true. Why is Buhari our president?

I told my wife I am moving to Abakiliki, she thought I was joking.

Gone are the days Ebonyi was the butt of jokes. The state in on course to be next big thing due to sound leadership

kalu61:
As bad as it may sound, l miss OBJ.

There are some shit that will not happen and it does happens, it's treated as shit as well.

Like him or not, OBJ is the best president in terms of Security handling.

One may have thought if Buhari is good at nothing, security shouldn't be one of it.

Obj would not have done anything. What we are seeing today is the result of years of economic mismanagement.

Rich people are usually not terrorists, poverty breeds crime and violence.

There is a limit to how much crime can be curtailed by show of force alone.
Economic prosperity is the best crime fighting tool any nation can use.

TheRealProphet:
This comment reeks of stwpidity and fuulishness.

Because the economy is bad, everybody should engage in arm-robbery

I pray arm-robbers attack u lemme knw if u will have d strength to type this BS..nonsense.

Can you say with certainty that everyone lynched in Nigeria have all been armed robbers?

We cannot continue behaving like monkeys

Seikiri1:
The countries in the chart what are their minimum wage?l
You should have included that as well.

If I told you that Sweden has no minimum wage would you believe it?

Minimum wages does not alleviate poverty, when you artificially increase minimum wages , small businesses close and more jobs are lost than added to the economy.

What we need is more free markets where ideas and intellectual property rights are protected.

We need the rule of law and the freedom to generate wealth

In as much as I think Buhari and his cronies have no clue about running a primary school let alone Nigeria, it is high time government steps out of subsidies and allow free market forces to dictate prices .

All they need to do is set up strong judicial systems, security and then get out of the way of our economic development.

tikristinimi21:
One can only wonder why corruption is such a recurring decimal in FIFA.
It seems to be an evil that will never go away.

Because it is run by human beings

samirus:
I pray you don’t witness how this thieves operates .. you should know they have pushed people to the wall

What you fail to understand is that mob rule is horrible? Yes these thieves are heartless, yes our judicial system is bad but do you really feel that if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time that people can't set you on fire because they suspect you of being a criminal?

yrex01:
north z working forget.. our own na to dey flaunt luxury cars n sell fed gov opportunity slots for highest bidder.

This is the problem with Nigeria. Instead of giving us cars, give us good roads, electricity, education and security.

We'll create the jobs

izzou:


[color=royalblue]This country cannot be redeemed....We are now known as the heartbeat of fraud

Gambling and Fraud has increased tremendously over the past few years. No wonder importation of cars, Hotel business and Bet9ja shops are everywhere....Very sad

Even our Anticorruption boss is being probed for corruption...This country is a disgrace.

I wonder how the next 50 years will look like [/color]

When you research into crime in America, you'll seen say we deny learn for where crime dey

ARCHEMEDESME:
I've noticed a certain trend ; a lot of self taught developers seem to look down on a cs degree after learning just an aspect of computer science.

For example someone who decides to learn backend web development ( which is a subset of cs)by taking an udemy course thinks he has learnt more than a serious minded cs student . They go about saying stuff like :" I didn't study computer science but I can know more than a cs major" but they seem to forget that computer science goes beyond developing websites. To me it's a waste of time of time studying cs just because you want to be a web developer , correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's what boot camps are meant for .

But that doesn't change the fact that some CS majors know nothing , I've come across some CS majors that can't code but that doesn't make a cs degree worthless.
But do you think such people are right ?

Full disclosure I have a master's in CS.

The reason is this....
1. A degree teaches you the basics, like algorithms , Boolean logic, mathematics etc.
2. The technology to build useful things maven, reddis, elastic search, mongo, spring, laravel, etc are not taught in school.
3. This is because these technologies change all the time.
4. So no matter your qualification unless you are developing frameworks, new language and new algorithms, your degree offers no real advantage
5. Some of the most successful tech business men and women are self - taught.
6. You are also self-taught because 70% of what you know as a developer you learnt on your own

Tango123:
You are changing the goal post.

Are u talking about the systemic and intergenerational racism and its effects on blacks, or are u talking about politics of trump v obama.

If the latter, if u are interested in republican v democrats politics, i am not interested. But i think u are changing the goal post because i am presenting u with good points.

If ur focus is on democrats v Republicans, dont conflate it with issues of racism. Or blame blacks for being poor (which u seemed to do in ur previous posts, when u said they can leave the ghettoes)

African Americans are the cause of their poverty. Let them quit being victims . Africans are very successful in America when they migrate ,yet those born there keep complaining.

Let's look home first? Is Nigeria not filled with prejudice and discrimination even more than America.

Where are you more likely to die at hands of police, America or Nigeria?

Originality007:
Tamir Rice a 12 old black boy was killed by police during Obama time, no body care cos Trump was never the president

Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin.... just these two comes to mind.

No one was jailed.

Last year and off duty policewoman that killed a black man was sent to jail under Trump .

The media is absolutely disgusting

highflyer012020:
at times it seems that nothing is in some people brain, a lot of people rants especially democrats and their apologies.
a white police officer killed a protesting man George Floyd in a gruesome way. president Trump condems the act, sacks the officers involve and reach out to George Floyd family, yet some brainless people are blaming trump for the killing thereby staging a sponsored protest against a government that fight for the interest of his people. democrats and their supporters are naive and wicked for labelling president Trump a racist. obama / biden 8 years of rules could not make laws to protect the interest of black communities in america. the democrats will not tell you that a law has been past and signed by President Trump for gender equality in america, every one irrespective of your gender or creed is equal. but this law was not passed to law during obama's adminstration of 8 years, and there were black murder during his tenure. the democrats hates blacks and african, they want african impoverish and the rid off by making black to be dependent on the white, they never want blacks to be seen equal with them, democrats wants america nation to crumble economically and politically to china, by outsourcing jobs that supposed to grow america economy to china, these democrats gave china goods tariffs free and charge every american goods, the obama adminstration and democrats want to collapse american economy through sanctions lifted from iran at the expense of america nation. trump administration just stop those nonsense, democrats knew they stand no chance against Trump that is why they have been waging war from one stage to another. but they will never win. god planted president Trump for this hour and he must complete the assignment. he has not fail God.because of coming election they are making politics out of George Floyd's death by the white police. the barricad of the white house is for the safety of the protesters because during the earlier protest there were looting and desruction of properties by the so called protesters sponsored by the antifats, no reasonable government will watch its state capital being destroy by sponsored protesters without reaction. whosover critiscews Trump for the barricade is daft

It's the herd mentality, and they are being led by their handlers at CNN and MSNBC.

sweetTai:
It is infuriating to see clueless Africans supporting trump. You are supporting someone or something you do not understand. I voted for Obama in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012. I’m not a democrat or republican, I’m independent. Donald Trump’s agenda is to make America a white dominated country. Unless you live inside of the United States, you wouldn’t really understand how annoying and unfair that agenda is. Democratic Party has its own flaws but it’s the only party that has produced a black president and welcomes minorities like me. In Texas, Whites are becoming the minority because of the explosion in Latino population, and white folks are proposing all kind of draconian laws to make life harder for blacks and Latinos. This is Trump’s fears and why he’s policies are anti black and anti immigrants.

You don't have an idea what you are on about mate. A black president that jailed more black people that any other recent president besides another Democratic president Bill Clinton?

Trump reduced the prison population by 33% , of which bblacks made up a significant proportion of those released.

Joe Biden , introduced the crime bill and championed war on drugs that devasted black communities but no orange man is always bad

Keep drinking your MSNBC and CNN coolaid.

OKTolu:
This is beautiful from a mayor who has sense than his president


This mayor should be made a president of united state in the future,the world is tired with the likes of trump the clueless president.

Hahahaha says a Nigerian that has no president

Enyimbamercedes:
When I said the police was not capable of solving crimes; some people came out me!

Now I make bold to say, the police is not capable of protecting the citizens; they cannot even protect themselves!

8 men sack a station! Station looking like a shithole!! It is really sad but this is what you get when we celebrate roads and bridges in the midst of failing institutions. Well, let’s celebrate, ignore the killings in Kaduna, Plateau, Katsina, Edo, Kogi... at least we have the 2nd Niger bridge and railway lines to save us.

Myopic

The spate of crimes in Nigeria is a symptom not the cause. A symptom of a system that is rotten to its core. A system that had failed many and will fail many more. A system where the rich keeps looting the poor and the poor the loot and kill each other.

FarahAideed:
So apart from using his death to cause riots the still want to use it to further the Scamdemic Covid agenda

In other news a young teenager shot by cultists and brutally beaten afterwards have died of COVID. The ruling class is pushing their luck really

elektra:
Many Nigerian families abuse first borns. The first borns sef internalize the abuse and it becomes part of their identity.
Their self fulfillment now comes from seeing the younger siblings succeed. Sometimes to the detriment of their own progress.
Your husband clearly has no ambition of his own.

What is wrong in having a sense of duty towards family? If not for my sister, I will not be where I am today, now helping others.

My wife is a first born and we also support her family. That is what family is, we take care of each other.

Gander:
Any Nigerian supporting Donald Trump is indeed a slave.

Donald trump's presidency is much more favourable than Obama's to an average Nigerian.

chinjo:
Rascality of the highest order. A governor gave an order and a bloody private soldier is using his ID card as a replacement for face mask. Whereas, that same soldier can't dare enter Ekenhuan Barracks without the face mask else, he will be sent back by those military police guys at the gate. Who knows, he might be one of those repentant Boko Haram boys that were drafted into the military.

Where do the governor derive the right to give unconstitutional orders? Nigerians have no clue what democracy is

ZombieNation:
Tyranny will come in the name of public interest.

Glad to see that some of my compatriots can still think

TMKsouth:
Republicans and conservatives in general are a crazy stupid bunch all over the world. If only this virus wasn't contagious I'd say leave them to die.

I suppose as a Nigerian that you are, liberty means nothing to you.

allthingsgood:
Like which governments so far

Keep blabbing

Hmmmm...

Canada is providing for her citizens at home...($2k per month)
Australia ($3k per month)

USA ($1k5 one time payment)

I can go on but it is obvious you are a government troll

allthingsgood:
[s][/s]

stop talking trash
no government planned for corona

Governments organised their society to be resilient to disasters including pandemics. Keep making excuses for useless Nigerian leaders.

echibuogwu:
That’s what I’m sayin, we can make the govt provide all these things without stopping the lock down, bro in all honesty Naija don’t have what it takes, Naija is broke, people are shouting economy up and down but our economy have never been good, in fact Nigeria is about to face a terrible recession wether this lockdown continues or not, what we should be very much concerned about right now is survival, how to survive, do you think there will be enough beds to hold the sick people? How about the availability of face mask, people might use theirs more than once or start selling used ones, how about if the infected people without symptoms start selling in the market, you have no idea how easy this stuff can spread and with a country like Nigeria with bad health system, it’s too risky.. how many ventilators do you think we have, how many standard hospitals do we have.i hate Buhari, more than u can ever think but we should be finding solutions to the problem now and not adding to the problem, ending lockdown will only worsen the case, some people don’t even know the symptoms of corona virus, what happens when they get it... think man.

Corona Virus will not kill even half of what Biko haram, hunger, accidents and child birth mortality kills in a year.

The only reason our elites are concerned is unlike the factors I listed above that solely affect the poor, corona does not respect power oe authority.

So let for me, lets open the economy, we the masses have nothing left to loose.

Bleep da government

allthingsgood:
i think the deaths need to get to a number that will force nigerians to have common sense
Buhari should lift the lockdown and let people die by choice. By the time you bury your parents and children nobody will tell u before u enter house and lock door

So what do want people to do?

Other governments planned years ahead for times like this. They secured food supply chains, structured their society to provide government safety net, invested in health care and established strong law enforcment agencies.

Nigerian leaders in the past failed to do any of this, Buhari in his 5 years has not done any of this.

Ordinary Nigerians, the ones who dont have mobile phones and live on less than $1 per day are suffering.

What do you want them to do? Die of corona, hunger, insecurity ? Which one

I was looking for a way to help Nigeria students . I want to start a class on Saturdays that will teach students using their curriculum.

I am a software engineer in Canada and this will be absolutely free. So if there are any futo students here that are intrested, please let me know.

It will run on zoom. If people want it

I don't know your wife, I don't know you and nobody here does, so why not talk to someone who you both trust and respect to see if there how this can be resolved?

Most people that you are seeking advice from are young singles that do not have the maturity to manage a relationship like marriage.
