especially since we delight in always pointing accusing fingers at the Government alone.

Did i ever tell you that our leaders are not to blame for some fuel scarcity?

if she had died while in a visa queue, what would you have blamed?

Where did i absolve the government of all blame? I said there would be long queues where goods are scarce. Scarcity of fuel is not new in Nigeria.There's no scarcity of refined petroleum products in the countries you mentioned, hence no queues.

You didn't address the subject on ground,instead you are talking about another thang.
Can't you think?
Is it normal we have fuel scarcity in this country.even with all the said rebranding,vision 2020.
Refineries=0

This country is cursed abeg

am Igbo,though one of my aunts married an Igala man.

Granted Oil bunkering and siphoning is an adverse and direct correlation to poverty regardless, of what the statistics say. It don't require specialization in any field to understand the in-henrent relation ship between the two. All it take is common sense.

Isn't the government made up of people? Yes, the problem of our country is partly with the government. And privatization is the best solution to that. It puts the destiny of the country in the hands of you and I.

Every Nigerian needs to get Civilised first. We are not civilised.

See what happened in South Africa or Ghana will never happen in Nigeria in the next 50years.

In South Africa Thabo Mbeki stepped down merely because he was accused of meddling with Judicial affairs.
Jacob Zuma who was already the party leader and President did not hastily rush into power but rather waited to be voted in.
Molanthe who took over power in Interim Capacity did not even try to form his own party to challenge Zuma his party's choice.
And when the election was held freely and fairly, Zuma won fair and square.

Can any of this civility happen in Nigeria? Mbeki will not certainly step down in Nigeria, Jacob Zuma will not dream of postponing his opportunity to assume power for the sake of any Election, Molanthe would have certainly reformed the ANC or formed a new party in other to remain in power and the election that brought Zuma to power won't certainly be free and fair.

Or are we talking about Ghana where Gerry Rawlings deputy lost elections to then opposition candidate John Kuffor, and then John Kuffor's deputy and prefered candidate lost the primary election to Nana Akuffo Ado. And then Nana Akuffor Ado who is in the President's party and who President Kuffor voted at the general election lost to the opposition candidate Prof. Atta-Mills.

Will any of these civility be shown in Nigeria?

If anybody tells you Nigeria is giant of Africa tell them to wake up from sleep . . . . . the world is moving beyond us.

it is a failing state - stay there, we have heard, stay where you are, let us suffer it alone, we dont need anyone to help us survive, at least we have been surviving it till now, it is people like you who dont have anything to contribute to the countries progress that has made it a "failed" state, so, thank you, we have heard you, British apologists - thank you, by the time wey dem rubbish your black skin, na im you go know say, failing or no failing, home is home.

No mind this our middlebelt boy boy!

so who are the majority?

still finding it diffcult to believe that Plateau is middle belt

Let's not forget that these things are happening as a result of various combination. One of them is poverty.

As someone said recently, those people selling recharge cards and Lacasera, are they not human beings too?

No country in the world can eradicate extreme poverty. It's impossble! But condoning crime because of extreme poverty is wrong. Anything that can bring harm to others is WRONG!!!

I guess this means you empathize with armed robbers too.

After all the British are the causes of our ethnic problems.
