We are saying the same in different way and format, unfortunately you were even waiting for me to break down it for you completely.

The so called strong institution EXIST in Nigeria,it is the people that made them weak, Yes the same common man who claimed to be a victim of the system made the system handicap.

I will cite few examples for you here and if you still want to contend that i wish you good luck.
NIMC was set up for everyone to get on it for proper planning and security,your Common Man who claimed to be a victim are the one in charge of operations,they disabled the system to make people queue up so they can fleece them,it is on record that those who are getting NIN pay nothing less than ₦2k, my wife paid ₦5k to have it done,this was even before the directives.

You can't get Nigeria passport with ease,even for those of us who have been on our 4th cycle of passport,renewal is always war,Drivers licences won't make it out until you grease palms.
Are you paying to Buhari family or the governor's family? it is your brother and my sisters who decided to set up barricades for their fellow country men to make things difficult and we all think the system will work or the institution will be strong?

Police is a very strong institution,those officers are Nigerians,they got employed and were given training and pay salary,try and have anything to do at the police station,you will be required to pay bribe.

All facet's of our life is riddle with corruption,are all these facet's populated by political class?
China you referenced is able to develop to that point because their leaders are AUTHORITARIAN ditto United States government,try and do anyhow and see what will happen within seconds,if such a law should be promulgated here or anyone trying to enforce it una go come out for twitter dey protest.
i don't know your age,but if you are old enough to witnessed Buhari regime as military president you would have an idea of what I am saying.


Go and check how Nigerian ran down South Africa,go to the US and see their reaction towards Nigerians, European Nations have special laws and ways of deali6with us when compared to other African Nations.

Yes our infrastructural development is not good enough,but the little we are managing are been destroyed or vandalized at any slightest provocation,Check how many people were sent to bankruptcy during EndSars protest,How about public amenities that were destroyed?

Citizens of Those countries you intend to run to do not support evil,they protect themselves and the Institution,that is why the whole place is progressive and peaceful.

Nothing will change until when we change our ways.
Respect!!! You raised valid points. But I’m of the opinion that most of these issues are still caused by weak government institutions.

A Common man can contribute his/her own quota to nation building,it is the quota from everyone that build a nation,Europe, America wasn't built by leadership effort alone,it was built and maintain by the followers,the leaders only give direction.
The same number of you who blame leaders for everything will still go home and bypass your electric meter,the same common man who claim to be victim is the one who sits at his/her office and demand bribes to do what he's being paid monthly to do.
Large number of you are worse than the leaders you castigate.

The same set of people who cast aspersions at the nation,who sees no hope will be back after 10yrs to come and invest in the same shitty country,90% of you who had left will be back when you 65yr and above to come and enjoy your so called retirement at home,some of you will be back with terminal disease and will pass on the burden of looking after you to your relations who never left,your children that had left with you wont be here to look after you,it is still the same sys6and people you are running down that will take care of you at your old age as most of you can't live in old people's home abroad.
what does that say about you?
HYPOCRITE in capital letters


It is not everyone that left with their kids that those kids get to give them joy,Check the Private schools scattered all around the country to see the number of rotten kids being shipped home to have their life mended.
Check with those Nigerians in UK and US,they will tell you the number of Nigerian kids in prison or remand home,they will give you the statistics of Nigerian kids who had dropped out of school.
You’re still not getting my point. No offense please but It seem like you don’t know the importance of strong government institutions in the lives of the citizens and the impact in the society. Nigeria as a country have a weak government institutions.

Nigeria’s institutions are not able to protect live and property, laws and regulations are not enforced properly, the government is not being able to offer social support as there’s no access to a good level of medical care and mental health support. Nigeria’s institutions are weak because their institutions have failed to build infrastructures stable for development. Yet you want citizens to be law and abiding and also to contribute their quota in a fail system.


Let me remind you that be it white or black all humans have criminal tendencies. According to psychologist. I guess you don’t know that, the presence of strong government institutions plays an important role in shaping the behavior of the citizens. Strong government institutions guide economic, shape how budgets are spent, and regulate the justice system. When institutions are weak and corrupt, resources are wasted, services aren’t delivered, and people (especially the poor) do not receive the required protection(Life has no value in Nigeria people die like chicken in the hands of bandits, kidnappers etc) .

Having said that, the fact still remain that it’s only those that are elected as leaders that can strengthen the government institutions to bring positive changes in the society and this changes will shape the behavior of the citizens, better their lives and also give them an enabling environment to contribute their quotas as citizens.

Let me remind you again, China passed into law death penalty for any public office holder find guilty of corruption or financial bribery. You think Chinese aren’t corrupt ? Your answer is as good as mine, the strong institutions has shaped Chinese behavior and that of their society. Why has Nigerian elected leaders refuse to pass this into law ? Because they know a strong government institutions will stop them from looting and oppressing citizens.

Here in Nigeria people get away with corrupt or wicked act because the system is weak. Are you surprise that majority of Nigerians that travel abroad try not to beat the system, few who try to play smart pay the price heavily because there are strong institutions on ground to deal with them.

With all said above, if you still think the input of a common man in Nigeria will make a difference in the absence of strong government institutions that can deliver justice and equity for all.

Then you can as well believe that someday a pig will fly.

I want us to talk about job creation,i want us to talk about business ideas,i have seen so many people with modest savings (₦3-₦5million) wanting to jet out of Nigeria at all cost,i have also seen people wasted such money and time yet they can't reach their dreamland.

I am not against anyone traveling out to seek greener pastures or on holiday,what i want us to examine critically is this attitude of wasting fortunes,money that is enough to start life with.

I read through a post of a guy with ₦3million savings not too long and I read all sorts of advise,but the one's that moved me most are those people who keep dishing out small scale business ideas,they did not only dish out ideas,they gave practical examples and knowledge,those ideas and knowledge prompt me to ask myself this question that why don't we want to start Small?
why don't we stay back and build a life instead of running around all the time?

insults are welcome
What most of you “business idea gang” has refused to remind yourself is that , MONEY isn’t the only thing that motivate people from jetting out of the country.

Some people jet out just because they are tired of the “suffering and smiling life” so they want to start a new life in a country where the system works and raise kids in a sane environment where their kids can become whosoever they want to become without knowing Oga at the top

Everything isn’t about money, what’s the essence of it after hustling to make money as a business idea lord/guru and still be in a country where

Health system is in comatose
Education is nothing to talk about(ASUU on strike since last year)
Electricity is epileptic/rockets science
Roads has became death traps
Insecurity everywhere “1001 ways to die in Nigeria”
Unstable government policies that frustrate citizens
And lots more

In the midst of all these, yet you’re feeling like king isnt it? Just because you’re making the money

Another daft statement some people say is “let’s stay and build or make our country great”

The question is how can a common man build or make a country great, when those that are elected Into power to make positive decision to better the life of the masses has refused to do so. Government policies have a great impact in citizens lives

Nigerians have been clamoring for restructuring, but those who can make it happen has refused to do the needful. How does the input of the common man count in a corrupt failed country ? So much to talk about but let me stop here.

I will say this again. Life is good, for those who want to enjoy it to the fullest If you have the means to leave this country, leave and don’t think twice. Your grandchildren will forever be thankful to you.

I think the yorubas benefited the most in buhari tenure ..look at the infrastructure he gave to y'all...no region can boast of anything more...
From apapa owonronshoki road to Lagos Ibadan express road to Lagos Ibadan rail line...
Most of his capital projects are in the west
Plus the fact that in as much as most of his appointment are in the north...the next ethnic group with a substantial share are the yorubas...

At least Yoruba will get something from his government..compared to GEJ that did not even commission a single completed federal road


Any Igbo man who will prefer GEJ to bubu is mad...
Cuz Bubu has more projects in the east than the entire 16 years of pdp and their presidents

You people are looking for a way to loot the wealth of Nigeria again. Why are these greedy old leaders not tired of looting this country. If they continue like this I believe curse will be upon them and their generation. Karma will surely before them. My reasons, you said covid 19 second waive. If we have second waive. Why do you introduce NIN at this time when there supposed to be a serious social distancing with face mask nation wide. If you see the massive crowd in NIN center close to me. No body is even putting on face mask.
And some foolish confused people would say it’s the common man that can make Nigeria better and great. Whenever anyone have the opportunity to travel out of this shithole that’s when they will remember they can build this country

Look at those elected as leaders that suppose to make positive decisions that will better the lives of Nigerians refuse to do the right things.

They always come up with directives that will inflict hardship and sufferness on Nigerians

Days ago, you opened a thread making inquiries on how to travel to Malta, meanwhile you are here with your stoopid self advising another that wants to do same to stay and start a business. Are you allergic to staying back in Nigeria to start a business yourself? This is why i don't seek counsel from the average Nigerian. https://www.nairaland.com/6060595/anyone-here-living-malta

Anybody that wants to leave Nigeria legally should please leave. This country has absolutely nothing to offer anybody right now.

Those politicians elected into power to make positive decisions to better the lives of Nigerians won’t even let you treat them when they are sick because they don’t trust our health system

Mista man, i don’t say he hasn’t done his own part. To your question, I have stopped stressing myself to do anything regarding Nigeria.

The input of common man in Nigeria makes no difference except you want to die for nothing for a failed state.

Those elect into power are the ones who can bring about positive changes yet they have refuse to make those changes.

Youths were killed by soldiers for nothing at lekki toll gate what difference does it make today ?

Nigerians has been crying for restructure what difference does it make?
ASUU has been on strike for months, what has the common man (students) able to do ? those that are elected to make positive decisions that will better the lives of Nigerians refuse to do the right thing.

My little advice for you...You better don’t form hero and get killed or your leg get amputated in the process for Nigeria because it will be a total waste.
