For God to bless you and do same for ur own mama

Nice one bro, I want to be like you when I grow

Anyway what was the clearing process like in Nigeria? Any excess hassles? I keep hearing bad stories about shipping cars from Europe

IntrovertedK:
you are right though, it's better off with a private individual buh don't forget BRT. It's all determination and there are provinces in Canda that run public transport maybe they only oversee, regulate and all i don't know buh it is believe to be own by provincial govt. Haven't been to Canada though buh you know we are all canadian as a Nigerian, if you know.

And yes, just like Oyo state is running hers presently, they can transfer the ownership totally to a private company and they would just monitor. Presently, the parastatal in charge of the bus prints the tickets while private individuals purchase the ticket and handle the sales, they appoint buses for each ticketter every day, different bus and different driver, supervisors. So it will be easy to transfer it all to a private company buh the state purchasing buses and making way for it is the major thing.

You're right, in the end it's about how much we're willing to make it work.
That Canadian part though
I'd prefer Norway though.

IntrovertedK:
you are absolutely right. Buh maybe if they can transfer ownership to private companies and not allowing competition at the long run might help. Just like Nitel and Nigeria air was planned to run. It will be run by stakeholders.

Like the Ajumose bus, the stakeholders run about 60% of it while the government handle the rest. And i believe they can transfer everything to stakeholders while govt regulates and monitor.

The problem is govt being serious about it and starting it. If they are truely serious, they can make things happen believe me.

Bro, in every country in the world I've been to, a privatecompany runs things. Governments have no time employing drivers, accountants, mechanics or all that trash. They tar the roads or fix rails, maybe buy the buses, hand over to a private company, sign an agreement, monitor and decide where prices will be pegged and how much revenue is expected.
Some even let market factors determine pricing if more than one company is involved. Nigeria just makes the simplest things look hard.

lilianofentseSA:
I am part Nigerian and part South African.
I live in Nigeria currently and i am required to fill a form.
What country should I fill for?
Ps no negative feedback
My late father is a Nigerian but my mom wants me to identify as south african...

If you know what is good for you, face RSA. I have very good friends from SA in my university, particularly from Durban area and I see how nice the government treats them and spoils them at the embassy. My Nigerian government barely knows I exist. Especially anything international, it's better you identify as South African.

Everywhere you go, please be SA. I'm dead serious, not because I'm trying to make Nigeria look bad but in terms of opportunities and everything you'd have an advantage.
It's just the truth.

alexola20:
I surely believe you are one of the yeebos or one of the sympathizers or losers.

He is now a president and many people would want something from him.

Hope you don borrow lil sens

Unfortunate that's all you could come up with. I was born and bred in the North and speak Hausa more than any other language asides English. I understand the life and understanding of the average northerner and I feel so bad for them cos they deserve more. More than Atiku or Buhari or Saraki or any other thief in disguise that's responsible for the state of that region.and the entire country.

Do yourself a favour, save up and travel to Norway, or even Botswana or CIV and then place your beloved and wealthy Nigeria besides it. You'll bury your head in shame at how far behind that country lags.

advocate666:
That's what they made you see. Until you try to approach him and you will see the hidden part of his entourage.

Well, that is expected. His guards are not there for no reason.
At least he will not use a vehicle worth 218 million naira when his country is the world's poorest.
It's unfortunate Nigeria will flaunt theirs and still have a hidden part as well.

alexola20:
Even many of his friends will even want to buy more than this for him.
He is Nigerian President.

Exactly. President of the world's poorest country. It's just funny these friends of his didn't buy it for him all the while he was in Daura and claiming he couldn't purchase nomination form while his kids schooled in the UK

Grow sense brother, grow sense.

advocate666:
In Europe, they have more than this, but they don't flaunt it.

Say what you know, do not generalise. Putin and Merkel are not all of Europe. They can afford to have machines bigger than this cos they're made right there in their country and it's even a thing of prestige for the company to give out their cars or customize them for their leaders as it also draws customers for them.

I've been within five meters of a European PM and the way he showed up to the meeting that day still shocks me till date, no siren, no road block, almost like how me or you will show up. 2 cars, one for him and the other for about four or so plain clothed guards. The cars didn't look too sophisticated even.

Simple.

Amac2019:
Vote for princess Anazodo for Amac chairman 2019..election date is 9th march 2019

Why should I?
What's special about her, or what does she have in mind to implement for the council asides enriching herself?

Cajal:
...so u are comparing NNPC WITH BANKING AND TELECOM SECTOR...U MUST BE FOOL
GO AND READ

Wow, wise one. I bet you're so learned and smart that you support a senile seventy-whatever year old ruling your country. What is his profession again? Oh.. a soldier yes. He must be so skilled in tactical operations, counter terrorism and combat situations, no wonder the security situation in the country is almost perfect.
All your wisdom is a complete waste if you lack common sense and reason, be there jumping over NNPC that is a corruption cauldron until a stray bullet meets you. Learned Nigerian indeed, it is obvious the depth of my foolishness is the peak of your intelligence. Grow a conscience and add sense if you can.

Good day Nigerian.

Gchamp:
It's another four years of greatness for sane people of Nigeria. Please, learn how to personalize your curses. If you think Buhari is responsible for your own suffering, may it continue till 2023.

Let's do it like this...


If your president has been fair and competent in serving Nigeria may whatever suffering those against him experience continue and if not, may suffering not cease from your life as long as he sits in that position.

truthisgood:
Is this not clear evidence that NIGERIA is a dustbill how can it be possible that PMB won Goodluck Jonathan with 2 million votes and with all the atrocities PMB committed within his 4 years in office now wins Atiku with 4 million votes....is really a pirty that Nigeria is a total rubbish since truth can never prevail. OH! GOD WHERE ARE YOU!!! and this evil is happening to Nigeria.

Stop disturbing God, when Nigeria was selling her future she didn't care about God.

Y'all should reap what you sowed.

..NNPC IS SAFE THANK GOD

Your problem is Apc and Pdp... gang of recycled criminals that speak with both sides of their mouth, supporting one party today and another tomorrow.

NNPC that is a failed project is what you're happy for. Let me school you a little. The only sectors in Nigeria that are technologically within touching distance with the rest of the world are banking and telecoms and that's because they're privatised, investors have their money there and monitor it well for optimal service delivery and profit even though govt agencies suck at regulating things.

Be jumping over NNPC if only you knew how much is being siphoned there..

Las las Nigerians are very dumb people forming smart on the internet.

ClumsyFlimsy:


I am not surprised

My friend visited kenya recently and said its far better than naija. I shock

Its just unfortunate. Its really sad being a Nigerian. Lacking in the midst of plenty; see poor masses voting without brain

Thank goodness someone else confirmed it to you, it's just pathetic Nigerians don't want to grow up and think.

ClumsyFlimsy:
Its unfortunate bro

How i wish we igbos and yoruba can form a collition to rescue this country. If we must live as one we must do things right

We are suffering in nigeria. Soon angola kenya rwanda and even uganda might be better than naija

Please remove Rwanda from that list, they're not your mate anymore. Let past glory not deceive you, it seems you'll remove Kenya too even

peteruuu:
And someone said president MUHAMMADU BUHARI is old...he cannot perform well as a president yen yen yen...

That's a man on wheelchair, and he's still contesting...


God bless Nigeria...
God bless president MUHAMMADU BUHARI (GCFR).

Imagine the example you choose to follow, Not that of Macron or Tradeau and we're wondering why Nigeria is the world's poverty capital.
Sometimes I wonder if y'all actually have a brain. Go to world economic forum page on Instagram or Linkedin, watch their videos and see how far the world has left you behind in that shit hole.

One day you'll wake up and realise you've been left behind on earth and the rest of the world has gone to Mars. Brain dead people everywhere.

jomoh:
Maybe if you come down and contest we might have someone to vote for apart from them but I doubt you’d have the integrity to even contest a councilor let alone a president.


Use your head and face the reality of your surroundings. We can never be equal in life. That’s the simple truth of life.



There are Americans who are poorer than most Nigerians and yet they will still vote for trump who’s kids are on a first class ticket around the world.

The reality of your surrounding calls you to accept people dying for silly reasons, institutions shutting down, governors retiring as senators, and useless old men being recycled as normal happenings and you choose to accept right? Continue.... we'll see how well reality will help you. Reality is what you make of it, and you made a 78 year old senile man your reality. Enjoy it.

Kick Trump out of politics, he has business and enterprises all over. He's smart, well educated and can hold his own in a competitive set up.
Kick your beloved senators or president out of politics, I bet even you won't hire him to lead your organisation.

You know the truth, clearly you seem learned so forcing you to accept the truth will not be my business... you have a brain and a conscience, use them well else your very self will disgust you for the many lies you've had to cook up when truth stared you freely in the face.

Delivar:
This election has proven that the problem with Nigeria is not mainly caused by bad leaders as people always say, but a massive lack of education as the root cause. Every educated person knows that Buhari lacks the knowledge and health fittness to rule a country. But amazingly he is getting a second term. This can only happen when the masses are not educated. Atiku was winning the polls on social media because those who participated in the polls were the more educated Nigerians. Even though Atiku is not the best choice but he is better than Buhari and had the best chance to remove Buhari than the other candidates.

Lack of education is a serious matter in this country and this country will never go anywhere as long as it remains like that. If Buhari can be reelected then it means rouges like Tinubu and Ameachi can also win an election in Nigeria as long as the masses are this uneducated. I have lost hope in this country.

It's a good thing to know people like you still exist. I doubted it for a while. Bless you brother, that country does not deserve your kind.

jomoh:
One word

INTEGRITY

Oh please.
Let's not go down this line again. You're a fan yes, but use your head.
Buhashit, Atiku, lord Tinubu, none of these brood of useless men give a care about you. Their kids are here spending large on funds meant for you all and you're there killing yourself.

The stupidity of the average Nigerian is indeed laughable

hischoice:
What is it with Buhari and cult following?

He's not got that charisma of Tinubu yet that mass of followers who, come what may, would die for him. And I don't mean the so-called "illiterate" northerners, I am talking about ivy league graduates and leaders of thought.

Once you dig Buhari, you don't go back.

Whoever inherits Buhari's followers, in his demise, inherits a gold mine.

Please name these Ivy league graduates let me know them.
Anyway, the best education does not guarantee not selling ones conscience for wads of cash. So in a way, anything goes.
Cos I know no educated man in his right mind, watching the debates, seeing the glaring incompetence in that frail dude and knowing the calibre of men Nigeria can produce, will support that incoming failure.

unitysheart:
Is it now a taboo for people of different leanings to vote who they want?

No. But it's a taboo for one to praise the very cause of his predicament. People are being used and exploited yet they fail to realise it themselves. They're comfortable with being fools.

That's the problem with Africans.

bettercreature:
They want to turn us to Venezuela so they can start sending us aids

Nobody is turning you to anything. You're turning yourself by yourself.

Read d customs statement on d issue. U will b shocked

Imagine the audacity and nerve to tell such blatant lie... the person that signed this document deserves to rot in jail for this nonsense.

gypsey:
i am not kidding! the dentist reported me to social services and social services called The police. the incident happened at the dentists.

It is the law, so we must Respect, If i Don't. the child will be taken into care and i will end up losing my child to Adoption. it's no joke.

What the hell? I hear these things happen but haven't quite experienced it, except with someone who complained of it in Sweden.

It's totally insane, nobody can love that child more than the parents, so that should be considered, except discipline gets extreme it's all for the child's good.

I hope it doesn't get too serious, I don't even know what to say anymore.

Who will buy this one and convert to a museum

What is to be bought there? Whoever volunteers to pick that up should be given a national honour

what?! I ve just been charged for Assault for just smacking my 9 year old to brush her teeth. i am waiting for the courts decision and sentence date.

put that in your pipe and smoke it. (it means Imagine that)

Tell me you're kidding please �

It's both funny and pathetic at the same time

Olawalesmarter:
She is an Adult and she is capable of making her own decision. If you truly love her you wouldn't want to hurt her man, so what make you different from the Political thugs you are protecting her from? what if you beat her and hurt her more than you expected ? is she your punching Bag ? can someone else do the same to you ? You are just an Animal. If you try that in A sensible country you will rot in Jail, that's why many of you ended in Jail in the West, you can't separate humanity from animality

You people and this western world talk again... I'm laughing at y'all.
If only you know what these senseless idealogies are causing.
I don't support the beating, but reprimand is necessary for youthful exuberance. You don't fold your arms and watch your child tow the wrong part because he or she js 16 or 18.

When they are helpless drug addicts or raped or stabbed, you'd still have yourself to blame for not setting those boundaries man.

nkwuocha:
Nna i will reset her small.
O napu m ego,na pu my younger bros ego,napu my father,just nke n nuru.Givd or take she got at least like 120k less than 4 days ago.Maka n'ogwara anyi n'oji yi ahu.Its now clear she lied she is sick so she can risk her life because of 13k!?!As a man I'm even scared of going out during the election.It was even because of that fear I had her redeployed from a previous state in the North,only for her to do this.

Chai, it's really annoying. Obi nwanne, I feel your pain bros.

Olawalesmarter:
That's her life, the best thing you can do is to advise her and talk to her, You don't get to stop her from doing what she want to do and you don't get to punish her for anything, even if she is Your Daughter you don't get to lay your hands on her she is living her life not Your Life and she is not your slave. . We are talking about an Adult here man

I don't support this argument. When she's hurt, it's him who'll cough out the bills most likely, it's his poor heart that'll be wrenched. As Africans, this has always been our lifestyle and helped to keep some of us in check. Besides, when you look deep enough, you'd realise your life isn't really your life.

Offpoint:
You guys should stop generalizing everything, which one be *Nigerians angry over...*? it should be "some Nigerians angry over..."

I'm not angry and I don't have any reason to be, they ain't doing it for free.


If you quote me to say nonsense I swear to God your street transformer will blow.

First off, whère I am, there's nothing like transformer blowing up so no problem. I know what's wrong with you, sub human conditions has conditioned you to take the unusual as normal. Google Hungary slave law and read. A country is turning upside down because govt increased the possible overtime hours employers can ask for. Overtime that you can decline oh, that you'd be paid for, that is on weekends, yet people protest.

That is what a country should seem like.
Stop accepting rubbish. You deserve better bro, if Yusuf Buhari can cope with those conditions, your argument is justified.

Leopantro:
so because you did it your children when they become corpers should also do it?

You can imagine his stupid excuse. But Buhari's son and Atiku's daughter won't sleep in those conditions. People have sold their brains... I feel like transforming him to a rock already cos even a goat is wiser.

Very useless comment he made there.
