Very Despicable. Anyway there are always two sides to a coin, some bad eggs foreign African nationals must have done some negative stuffs to cause this issues for the innocent ones. All the same its not the right way to go for Some South Africans perpetuating this arrant nonsense. We have some reasonable people in all countries of the world. Only the foolish ones stain orhers

Kid Scout Refuses To Bow To Allah During Mosque Visit, Goes Viral

A video making the rounds on social media showed a small boy of about 6-8 years, defying the order to bow for muslim prayers as his fellow scouts during their trip to a mosque.

He was seen standing alone with his hands in his pocket while the rest were following the lead of the imam and going to their knees and bowing down their heads.

He defiance seemed to incense a man standing right behind him in the mosque, who was seen making gestures with his hands towards the boy from behind.

Watch video:

Why is the man making the gesture behind him not bowing too during a general prayer ? The boy might wish to practise a different religion or he didnt like their ideology or teachings. Not of true Islam, but may be they engage them in a terrorist conversation he is not comfortable with. My opinion

Is Nigerian politics your mate ?

Bendeco02:
Am not Tinubu's fan but VDM deserve to be thought a lesson.

If that kind guy becomes president, he will be worse than tinubu.

The Vdm guy is just too forward & fool of himself.

zoedew:
More impact would have been had if he had prominent Igbo politicians and traditional leaders on his delegation. The truth is that it is the conduct of the Igbo that inflamed the xenophobic rhetoric of the South Africans. It is not a general immigration issue against Nigerians at large.

You are very right

So in your head, you too calling somebody a mumu. What are you yourself ? . Calling a former governor & the present VP a mumu is like a madman eating grass & calling it spaghetti. That word is too big for your mouth. Retrace ur steps

Sentiments. Sentiments. Sentiments.
Your principal will lose next year and Obi that you all fear will take over.
And you will enjoy like you never thought possible.

When you need to see a dumb boy that drives a limousine with words of mouth & statistics but no action, here is one above. Just talk & no action everywhere without anything to show for it & their mentor who talks like someone suffering a permanent sore throat without achieving anything even as governor. Wants to be president of the most complex nation in Africa.

Princedapace:
I was battling with network issues recently, and it reminded me how difficult it has become to survive here. There is no stable electricity. Most of us survive on generators.

South Africa achieved significant progress in electricity within two years, yet after four years, nothing meaningful has changed here. It is still the same story and the same daily struggle.

Now, remove emotions for a moment and look at the reality:

A kilogram of gas is about ₦1,400. That is extremely high for a country with very low salaries.
A crate of eggs is between ₦5,500 and ₦6,000.
A bag of cement is around ₦12,000. This is one of the reasons house rent has skyrocketed, because many citizens can no longer afford to build homes.
Renting a 2-bedroom apartment in most state capitals now starts from about ₦2.5 million and above. That is insane for a country where the majority of citizens are struggling financially.
Fuel is around ₦1,400 per litre.

Fuel powers our generators. If you run two businesses, you may need two generators.

For someone like me who works online, I need electricity almost 24/7. A huge part of my income goes into fueling and servicing generators because, most nights, my generator runs till morning. I work with clients across different time zones, sometimes at 2AM.

What does all of this mean?

Our purchasing power has dropped drastically.

Yet, despite these realities, the tax burden keeps increasing.

I honestly want to ask: does the government truly understand what Nigerians are going through?

Even someone earning ₦25m–₦30m yearly in today’s Nigeria is not necessarily living comfortably. A large percentage of that income already goes into solving basic social problems and surviving.

You pay for:

Electricity
Security
Healthcare
Transportation
Water
Education

Everything.

So where exactly is the money left to pay huge taxes from?

How many Nigerians can genuinely save millions yearly after handling all their responsibilities as parents, children, and providers?

To survive, many people are already being forced to reduce their quality of life:

Cutting down electricity usage despite terrible heat
Moving children from good schools
Switching from bottled water to sachet water
Selling better cars for cheaper alternatives because of fuel costs
Cancelling vacations and basic comfort

The painful part is that many self-employed Nigerians hustle endlessly just to stay afloat, yet at the end of the year, they are still expected to pay heavy taxes.

One of my friends, despite earning what many would call “good money,” is already in debt because of school fees and living expenses. Yet, government expectations are based only on income figures, not the harsh realities behind those figures.

And remember, this is a country where many parents depend on their children financially just to survive.

Honestly, many leaders cannot relate to what ordinary Nigerians are facing because:

Their electricity is sorted
Their security is sorted
Their healthcare is sorted
Their feeding is sorted

So they may never truly feel the pain of the average citizen.

Dear Nigerian leaders, Nigerians are suffering.

We are exhausted.

What could be done differently?

Reduce excessive tax burdens. Maybe 3 percent for now. Please, this country is poor or increase the threshold to maybe 50m per year if you truly wants to target the rich for income tax.
Fix electricity.
Tackle corruption seriously.
Improve security so farmers can return to farms safely.
Support the tech economy so more young people can earn online.
Invest in skills and digital opportunities.
Cut down excessive government spending and luxury packages for politicians.

Nigeria is a poor country with multidimensional poverty. In many homes, one working person carries the burden of an entire extended family.

Tax should not be the first priority when citizens are already struggling to survive.

As I write this now, my area is in complete darkness again. Families will spend heavily on fuel tonight just to have light for a few hours.

So I ask again: after paying for survival, where exactly should the tax money come from?

We are tired.

The bills are too much.

please can someone push this to front page?

I want to understand why the sacrfice must be done by the suffering masses instead of the politicians. I am curios to know why. Why must I suffer what I didn't cause?

It's depends on your mind and what the level or how far the capacity of your brain, mentality and thinking can go. If you are myopic in reasoning, you wont see anything good this govt is doing. At the sane time, if you see only the bad situations without doing some little investigation by reading about achievements or reasons achievements are being delayed by a disgusting few. Then you have illogical reasoning and Tinubu might not need your vote. You can give it to people you think alike & most likely to worsen the case you are in right now. E.g obi.

Take this simple survey, check around the world, how much a liter of fuel is sold, compare n contrast to Nigeria, also the minimum wage & standard of living. Then you might have a clue of who to vote

The Nigeria police office is now full of people or officers who are into crime.

A police officer who harassed a boy who was going to farm and also collected N150k from the boy was seen taking drugs.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCJx6d9Sc3s

Brave man, he must depend on something cos that is quite risky. Good challenge though if there is concrete evidence as regards the collection of 150k. The only valid evidence here is the police man holding Indian hemp. Overall we need more brave guys like this to open up all this menace and disorderly attitude of supposed law enforcers

When I read the topic which said they built their careers from the banking hall, I was expecting to read that they started from the ground up, being bank tellers and stuff

Nothing of that was mentioned in the body of the thread, neither was anything mentioned about which other part of the Banking Hall they started their careers from

Dear op, if you have nothing to write sensible to write about, write about Tinubu so we can abuse him to our heart's comtent

No wonder , as a chronic abuser of your president Tinubu, it was easy to know that you lack substance to read and understand write-ups. OP did a good job by creating sensible awareness and encouraging other ladies to rise to the occasion. Rather, as usual you were negatively blinded as to see the efforts of the OP, rather you were concerned about frivolous things. Now everyone can see through what a bad critic looks like be it of anyone or the president. At least you achieved being a bad example in the society. Think better young boy. You still have time to be sensible, if you change your thinking positively attentive and teachable.

This president Tinubu speaks sense and his brain is visionary than that of a lot of senseless youths on nairaland and the ones making bad comments about the president. Especially the dumb obidunce group. I hope they can even manage a home of 2, talkless of councillors hip, not to talk of anything else. But they have the loudest mouth to quickly trade blames, judge and talk very uncouth and senselessly. How on earth can such people's brains be opened and cleaned into thinking right and objective ? God bless, me Tinubu, the sensible and reasonable people of Nigeria + Nigeria itself. God pls open the eyes of the blind obidunce and co to further not contaminate their born and unborn generation into further dampening the growth of Nigeria by their shallow thinking. So help us God

Congratulations 🎊 👏
You are doing well!

In your words & shrewd mentality, who stops you from buying anyone too if you had the opportunity or feel its that easy to buy. Dont forget he who accused blindly also has or have the potential in buying people, I dont believe this buying governor crap. He is probably doing something right for majority to align with him. Stop being negative with everything

cuteboy2:
It is that 15 votes that he used to floor the Thief of Iragbiji (ToI) in 2023 election right in his rented or adopted state.

The APC House of Rep incumbent, Obanikoro even lost shamefully Eti-Osa federal constituency where ToI (aka Tinubu, aka Yekini Amoda Ogundele) resides to LP due to Peter Obi tsunami.

Till date the trauma of that defeat is still giving Tinubu and his online data boys nightmares.

Smart people dont dwell on the past. Which party has the majority presently ? Are they perfect ? No, which other party is a serious & reliable party right now aside Apc ? None. All i see is deluded people who dont a damn abt management & leadership come on here to spit rubbish morning night & day. Obi & followers are a total waste of time, lack ideology, desperate, shameless & highly unstable. Can't build anything but running under others shadow from pillar to post!

In your house Or street only i guess, well done for your proud expectant of 15 votes from the possible 20M. Dont feel weary, Just keep heart as you presumably get 15 votes for your online presidential candidate & governorship candidate
