₦airaland Forum

Greenback:
Everyone is feeling it and must they keep quiet cos they are supporting the govt?
Did you keep quiet during Jonathan govt?
Is it a crime to air ones opinions?

Apologies to madridguy but I remember how you came for his neck one time he voiced out against the current president, accusing him of not saying anything when Buhari was doing his disaster!
That particular show meant that you knew Buhari was a disaster but chose to remain silent and attacked those who spoke out and today calling them haters of the north and country!!!?

Wonderful!

This may be hard for you to believe but there wasn't better alternative to Buhari in 2019… President position is mostly about having political will to make some hard decision/policies. Late president Buhari laid the foundation of some of the policies this current governance have been reforming .

Except if you saying you have not been seeing me questioning some of the government policies which are are not friendly to the masses. We are not blinded with our support here

budaatum:
Your "empowerment" sounds like you expect some outer force to come and empower us, when the truth is more like those with power would rather you remain weak so we can be more easily exploited.

I think we should empower ourselves. And that starts by us organising ourselves, as there is power in numbers. Instead we are divided and weak and powerless.

We shall learn. I just hope it's before 2125.

Corruption, greediness, favouritism won't also allow the @ emboldened to work. The small group members leaders/ family heads, how have they been performing.

If the individual mentality of making the difference is there, you don't even need to be elected into any political position before contributing your individual quarter towards the development of Nigeria.

Greenback:
Look at them!

Average Nigerians and in fact, Nigerians in general are going through hard times , insecurities everywhere, people are scared of travelling by road, people living in darkness everyday,price of foodstuffs and housing skyrocket like never before,etc and when Nigerians voice out their concerns and grievances,you call them haters of their country! How dare you?

Regardless of who's in charge at the villa,who's happy with these horrible things happening?

One of your own tinubu supporter on this forum years ago was asking around about relocating his family in Canada,are you equally saying he's a hater?
Whenever my ship is at Lagos jetty at apapa or ijegun and I wanna take a quick dash to town at night when I'm free,take a bus from say,ibru yard at west minster,to oshodi,to Ikeja and all the way,it's all darkness!!!! So I should be happy, right?!
Apologies for mentioning zico5 who was once a staunch supporters but now not again,are you saying he's a hater for voicing his heartfelt opinions?

If you consider them haters,it also makes you haters cos we all know and remember all what you did and said when Jonathan was in power... otherwise you would need to explain how SHEPOPOTAMUS and CLUELESS DRUNKEN FISHERMAN,etc translates to love

Wait, all those issues you listed above, are those supporting this government not experiencing any of them? Are you people in the opposition more Nigerian than the rest of us.

If you people claimed to be different from the Apc, why are you doing your last paragraph in more horrible way than those who you are accusing?

Should hatred for the person in power, the political party translate to the hatred towards the development of the country as that won't you people to be vindicated about the other side of what you wished to happen

budaatum:
It is not the duty of "our local representatives" to create industries. Their job is to create the environment where we the people can create industries. And "our local representatives" are failing at creating that industry, though I feel Tinubu, who beat my Obi to the presidency, is trying a little bit somewhat.

Empowerment, massive one to most of the industries. Nigerians are creative, just the opportunities are not there. The monthly constituency allowance they are receiving can be doing that.

Hahaha, what should now happen to those who want the backdoor for the ADC presidential ticket to do with all the Atiku's glaring strategic moves

It’s expensive for Nigerians,the cost of second hand cloth is way cheaper than employing a tailor to make one for you….

I use to tell my friends to buy second hand trousers instead of sewing new one for them

Bro, it's because educational courses like vocational training center is not effective in Nigeria. If there are more tailor equiped with tailoring equipments, the price of sewing cloth will crash.

Those are the things our local representatives should be doing, the senators, HOR, HOA members

Peter Obi the Casablaster. He had the capacity to do all what he has been suggesting for Nigeria to grow but he forgot to implement majority of those solutions when he was the governor of Anambra state

jmoore:
Another reason why UK keep demanding for IELTS exam for students that want to study in UK.

Obi is saying that a mayor that controls a higher budget than most politicians in Nigeria doesn't move with sirens disturbing other road users and unnecessary aides when traveling.

The airport handles over 100 million passengers annually—five times the total traffic of all Nigerian airports combined—and generates about $32 billion annually for the City of Atlanta and $70 billion

We are not interested in you Obidients always trying to deflect from the topic of discussion.

Peter Obi generated the lowest IGR for Anambra state, it's a fact not something concocted.

Funnily, all these solutions that Peter Obi has been proffering for Nigeria, he must have made same campaign promises to people when he was vying for the governorship position which he didn't do.

If he didn't keep to his promises as a governor, lower level, not complicated as Nigeria as a country. How are sure he will do all those things he been talking about. He had the capacity/opportunity before fcs

gidgiddy:
And so, if Britain created a country, and that country is not working, why are the people wasting their time together?

Britain created India, things were not working. India broke up into two. The Western side became Pakistan, the Eastern side retained the name India

Both are now enjoying their independence

The points you have been missing in all your arguments about having a sovereign country as you want to be independent. No problem about that request only if you can go through the proper channel to get it. Secession is currently not in Nigeria constitution, that must be rectified by our elective representatives in both house of reps and Senate.

Btw, the governance of Nigeria you have been emphasizing, how have you people been governing yourself in your own region. People like Gentle the Yahoo shouldn't have operated for ordinary 3 months, there are so many villages in Imo state that have been deserted for like a year. I have seen several videos of them online.

Please are your state governors from foreign land that makes them to allow such to happen for that long. And before you talk about Imo state and Apc, remember Anambra state is also affected with insecurity, the governor is not an Apc governor.

Let's have a sincere discussion about the freedom you have been talking about for long

Comparing this with Nigeria, Obi remarked that governors—many of whom preside over budgets far smaller than Atlanta’s—and even local government chairmen with allocations less than 1% of Atlanta’s

Before dashing us clothes, let's us see your wardrobe first. You had the privilege to serve in the capacity of governor in Anambra state, what major achievements, legacies did you achieve that still stand today?

Peter Obi generated the lowest IGR for Anambra state as the governor as the local government wasn't running for good 7 years. Local government are the best tax collector for the state as they are closer to people. As they didn't function, little revenue was generated.

Peter Obi should be making his arguments about things he achieved which we can all see, not something he couldn't when he had the capacity, opportunity

WizardOfNG:
Well said and a very important point. One thing many do not know is that they are self-harming with their wicked, vindictive, hateful and joyless outlook.

Getting the best out of life, and every single day, begins with a positive, optimistic and benevolent attitude.

When you are full of hate, malevolence, bitterness and anger towards your nation, fellow human being, the opposite sex etc, etc you are dead inside and merely just waiting for the actual physical event to come to pass.

One of my favourite individuals in the world is the guy below who has become rich himself interviewing wealthy folks , billionaires and millionaires, to gain tips and advice for becoming successful.

He has interviewed countless millionaires and billionaires and I have watched and learned lessons from many of his quick fire Q&A interviews. Simply enthralling. Black, white, Mexican does not matter. Be an achiever and he wants to pick your brain.

He is, to me, an example of what a fulfilled and alive human being should be. I.e full of life, optimism and the joy of possibilities.

Unlike the many bitter, hateful and damaged souls here who can never say anything good about others or even their nation let alone open their mind to the fact other Nigerians can be their mentor or that Nigeria can be a great nation. God bless us all.

Bro you see, our long way to go as Nigerians is far than Kuvuki land because we hardly discuss issue based topics, proffer solutions to things affecting us all.

Hardship is not a new lyrics in Nigeria, it go better is something we have been hearing for long, Nigeria politicians are not responsible enough is not something new. 30-40 years back, the same set of people who complained about he then government are the ones in power today irrespective of position. What precisely have they done differently?

Some young shall grow youths that have been giving the opportunity to serve in high political post, what new ideas have they brought. The Oyo state assembly speaker is a young guy that's if he has not been removed, what has he used his position to achieve.

No foreigners will make Nigeria better than we Nigerians

Softmirror:
The first thing that actually came to my mind. 😁

It will be bitter lamention if the FG cracks down on these people who have been in this trade passed down from their generation. 😁

Wouldn't that be tagged as witch hunting even if it's a way to make our local tailor and shoe makers to be more creative?

SarkinYarki:
Nobody wishes worse for Nigerians than cunny, corrupt, inept politicians that currently run her

Wait again, are you not even reflecting on your own activities on this forum. I just saw this somewhere and I was like, look at this guy again..

Bro, you need to check it oo

Ttalk:
The guy left the group the moment you challenge him.

My concern is the overall effect of their negative energy on Nigeria.

Negative thoughts attracts negative result, just the way the sing negatively about the security situation in the north, now same has been unleashed in their backyard and they have themselves to blame

Bro, another curiosity is hope that negative energy mood/energy is not affecting them in real life. Things can't be working fine, being in good mood and just come online to be hating on the progress of your own country because of politics.

You did not reason this thought well at all. Hamas, Sambisa Forest, is Gaza sharing border with Nigeria?

Ttalk:
But when you look at it critically this has been one of their trade from time immemorial.

Am worried about how some people never create awareness of themselves. They are yet to discover who they truly are

There's not any other tribe that deal in fairly used cloths like they do, yet this one is shaming the business that feeds many of them

Bro, are there second hand Nigeria native wear in foreign countries, I doubt. All those foreign used clothes and shoes we have been importing for years, why can't we be producing it here in Nigeria?

In Africa, that's a tradition for the second hand foreign clothes.

My own curiosity is, if we have Tailors that are sewing our native wear which they look glamorous, why can't those tailors start buying whatever materials they are using for the foreign clothes and start producing it here.

The shoe makers as well, why should we still be spending extra in getting foreign shoes when we have creative shoe makers across Nigeria?

I want to see how disabled people would blame government for their lack of improving their food diets.

Food is part of what would give you good health, infact, the millions of dying cells in you daily are replenish by variety of food.

Food is not something you do yanga about.

WizardOfNG:
Helinues, many Nigerians are not as good or as decent as they should be. That is my opinion from observing ordinary Nigerians daily.

Whether it is bastardization of our character, by how terrible Nigeria has become, that is to blame or we are just naturally aberrant people is what I cannot work out.

For sure though, many Nigerians are wrong shades of human being and they are perverse i.e they take pride in doing wrong with no interest in reforming for the better.

For example, look at the biggest and most insultive attackers of Tinubu here in Nairaland. Now, inspect the post of those guys to note if they have ever said anything good about Tinubu, his political appointees undoubtedly doing well or even Nigeria for that matter.

That should answer your question because we know Tinubu, undeniably, has done many good things and we also know there are many good things about Nigeria.

That they can never commend what/who must be commended is proof some people are wicked, bigoted , hateful and perverse.

Reasonable number of them are not conscious about their own activities, behaviors for years. I doubt if they spend time to reflect on themselves whether online or offline like the person you are challenging above. Same attitude for years. Haba

SarkinYarki:

All want you listed is a global issue. Wishing evil to ones country is just something that don't make any sense.

How would the person progress in the same country if his wishes came through?

This one just dey talk anyhow

I am yet to get the logic behind some people that always wish evil to Nigeria just because they don't like the president.

Hahaha, if everything scattered, how about those who are not political that would be affected, the hardship that people are talking about might be raised to power 8.

So, with what gain?

Repetitions of things for years without adjusting or feeling any remorse should be questioned. There are some members on this forum which I have known for years that never in a day, they wish the best for the country, for the presidency just because they are in the opposition.

You are opposing the progress of your own country . Hahahaha

SoliBayNG:
Just look at him. How many times has he reached Aso Rock since he came back?

Still in the thanksgiving phase. When they say he's ceremonial, people will still be debating

Which title did you people give him when he was having issue with Wike, Is it Lion or Buffalo 🐃 bulldozing Wike.

Now that both Gov Fubara and Wike with the Rivers house of assembly members have settled their scores, una don quickly change mouth.

For una side, everything should be scattered as you can't have it.

All hands on board.

smileyoo:
we know that it's all politics, but without the collabo, of the central governments, the politicians can do nothing, because it's the responsibility of the government to do justice to all citizens.
If MNK is guilty sentence him, but if not guilty let them free the man, because illegal detention is injustice ..
And why are they not sentencing the real terrorists, instead of branding them repentant terrorists ? thereby re-cycling terrorists into the system.
The government is not serious .

Left to the presidency, Kanu would have been pardoned but those who used him are still the one blocking his freedom.

Is it coincidence that immediately after SEDC was approved, the over 2 years sit at home stopped?

Moroccoguy:
Preventing it will come with huge price to be paid by property owners in those area, many houses will go down.

House going down compared with live lost, which should be prevented?

smileyoo:
the fact that you started this your post with falsehood, takes the shine out of its credibility, because we were all in Nigeria, when the military invaded his home with lots of fatalities, and that made MNK, to escape for his dear life, and no one can sincerely termed such escape from life threats as jumping bail . pls stop supporting evils, because the evil that you support today may affect you in the future, shalom.

Some of you don't know the game behind Ipob, Kanu

Who tipped Kanu that the military would be invading his house?

Kanu was used by some politicians in South East to achieve SEDC. They are the same frustrating his freedom

They should give him Agbo Jedi. He will be alright..

Lol

Sympathize. Imagine. How about prevention of such from happening.

Lazy governors everywhere
