Let me go straight to the point.

I have been to almost all southern Nigerian cities from Lagos, Port Harcourt, to Onitsha.

In all of these cities and villages i visited, most southern Nigerian girls from primary school age "know men".

Yet, today I observed many southern Nigerian commenters on the above caption about northern girls under the age of 18 being married off with sanctimonious indignation.

Are these southern Nigerians unaware of the fornication going on among their sisters/daughters/nieces of primary/secondary school age or do they simply want to be hypocritical about it?

Otherwise, how can a man who lives in Lagos, Ibadan, Onitsha, PH, Owerri, Yenagoe has the temerity to put on a cassock and mount a pulpit to pontificate about fornication or even adultery? Haba, my compatriots from the South and East, let this hypocrisy stops please.

Hypocrite

TMKsouth:
SA is always complaining about Nigerian brothels and drug dens though. It's pervasive. That's why there's so much tension.

Who is complaining about the high rate of xenophobia by your lazy xhulu brothers?

socialmediaman:
Buhari has changed the lives of Nigerians, that’s what he promised. Mission accomplished!

How can 30k per month zombie wage change ur life?

vedaxcool:
They spend every waking moment praying nothing happens, nothing succeeds, but they forgot their prayers shall be their destiny. The words they utter shall attract vile evil upon them. Nigeria shall surely succeed by the grace of almighty God. Ameen.

Zombies doing their work. Adesina is here and as the OP of the thread, the zombies needs to be noticed. Nairalanders, pls bear with them, their 30k per month is tied to the number of posts per thread, they re able to make

[s]THEY SAID NOTHING WAS HAPPENING...HOW ABOUT THESE?

By FEMI ADESINA

As you read this piece, President Muhammadu Buhari and his team are in the French capital, attending the Paris Peace Forum, a gathering of about 30 Presidents and head of governments from around the world. The Nigerian leader is among the few that were asked to deliver a speech.

On Wednesday afternoon, we had been at the Palais Elysee, the seat of the French government, where President Buhari paid an official visit to President Emmanuel Macron, who himself had been in Abuja in 2018. Impressive is a mild word to use for the spectacle.

Earlier that Wednesday, President Buhari had been at the Shangri-La Hotel, to give a keynote address at the Nigeria International Partnership Forum, put together for Nigerian and French investing community. It was a roll call of the brightest and best in the Nigerian business firmament, including Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, Chairman BUA Group and head, France-Nigeria Business Council, Mr Tony Elumelu, Chairman Heirs Holdings and UBA, Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, Chairman, Oriental Energy Resources, Prince Nduka Obaigbena, Chairman/Editor-in-Chief, ThisDay Group and Arise News Channels, among many others.

Now, the narrative that some people have labored to paint over the years, either out of hatred, or cheap political reasons, is that nothing was happening in the country, other than wanton killings and massive insecurity. They trumpet and magnify insecurity to the exclusion of any other thing. Yes, Nigeria battles grave security challenges like many other countries, particularly in the Sahel region, but then, many other good things are happening, while evildoers are also being given a pounding by agencies of state.

Mr President spoke to the galaxy of Nigerian and French business people and investors, to a massive applause. And what did he say?

The government in Nigeria was on the right path to achieving multi-sectoral progress. It has re-assessed and updated the national security strategy, which has contributed to success in fighting insurgents and terrorists, and also countering violent extremism.

Still firing from the hips, Mr President told his audience that there was a link between modern infrastructure and the overall economic development of a nation, “hence the massive infrastructural expansion programme we have been executing in various sectors.”

He gave examples such as railways, seaports, roads, renewable energy, housing, and many others.

Petroleum is the cash cow of the Nigerian economy, which is now being heavily diversified. But for more than two decades, the enabling law for the industry crawled through the legislature. Till the Buhari administration gave it a fillip, and out came the Petroleum Industry Act, the liberalizing force of the oil industry, with incentives as tax holidays, zero interest loans, development plan for host communities, and easy repatriation of profits, among others.

On agriculture, President Buhari spoke about the Anchor Borrowers Programme, which gives loans and technical support to small holder farmers, leading to expansion of rice mills from 10 in 2014, to 40 today. The result is that we no longer import rice enormously, and now save billions of dollars, which can be utilized for other things.

Fertilizer blending plants were about only five in 2014, today we have 46, with the result that the commodity is widely available and accessible to farmers, at modest costs.

Many other facts and figures did the President adduce to justify the fact that good things were happening in Nigeria, and investments were not only safe, but also generating handsome returns. And that makes one to challenge those engaged in the paroxysm of ‘nothing is happening in the country’ to countermand or controvert any of the stated developments.

Has security not been jigged up in a way that bandits, terrorists, insurgents have been put on the back foot? Are evildoers not being daily sent to God to answer for their crimes? Is the country not being cleaned up, and it is just a matter of time before the sanitation is completed?

Don’t they see the infrastructure? Roads, bridges, airports, pipelines, awesome projects like the Second Niger Bridge, Bodo-Bonny road, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Expressway, Loko-Oweto Bridge, AKK gas pipelines, Lagos-Ibadan rail project that is up and running, other rail projects under construction round the country, brand new airports in Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt, new runway and terminal building in Enugu, and many others. Which will the wailers, caterwauling all their lives point to, and deny its existence? Yet they keep repeating like broken gramophone records that nothing was happening in the country.

The truth is that no single government will solve all the challenges of a country in its life span. It will do its level best, and yield space for others to continue. Muhammadu Buhari has touched Nigeria in diverse ways. Our armed forces have been equipped, trained and motivated like never before. The economy has successfully been diversified, after more than five decades of lip service. Corruption is being robustly fought, stealing is something to be abhorred. And Nigeria is being rebuilt. Projects, projects everywhere, with a good number of them slated for commissioning next year.

The apostles of ‘nothing is happening, except insecurity’ should look for other music to sing, and for other dance steps. Honest Nigerians can see and feel the good things happening. It was unfolded to Nigerian and international investors in Paris on Wednesday. Those who have consigned themselves perpetually to the complaint counters should wake up. The market is over. It is time to go home, and do something better.

Aptly put. In life, it's what you focus on that expands. The naysayers and unpatriotic elements focus on the negatives and want to impose their negativity on every citizen. The government should not relent.
All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria.

Your zombie master Adesina is here, why won't you type rubbish

Fools

Same way Buhari's projects are too BIG that we can't see it with our naked eyes.

frowland:
I don’t blame you one bit. I kindly invite you to my house to make the same comment again.
It’s easy to know those who just signed up. All they do is throw insults and tantrums around thinking it makes you strong.
Anyone with an opposing view is insulted and tagged an Aboki. Well, calling me a northerner online won’t make me poor, or make me go hungry. I am who I am.

You are an aboki, So shut it. I really don't have time exchanging words with a clown

OyigboUpdate:
Lol. The last monday killing I posted saying it was unknown gunmen in ufuma in Anambra state on the 25th on a monday sit at home day. U all said nothing happened but when more details came up as cult related you all agreed there was a killing on that day. After over 80% comment said nothing happened.

Atleast I never lied. Did the killing happen in Anambra yes it did.
Did it happen in Ufuma? Yes it did.
Did it happen on a monday sit at home yes it did.
At that point four fingers pointed at IPOB

Were the killers known. They were unknown at the time of reporting which I made it clear that the killers are yet unknown. My thread was quoted so no way to modify.

If you call these cult related let me agree a bit. Which I know this Particular one is related to elections in Anambra. No election in Biafra land.

What about our elders your unknown gunmen killed for going to welcome Buhari are they also cultist. Or youths disagreements. Or should we blame fulani?

I wonder what you were expecting while freeing criminals and arming them

Seun OAM4J lalasticlala mynd44
I have said my own. Continue to allow this guy to be lying on ur forum.

When next govt comes into power, that's when you will know the extent of looting and crimes committed by the clueless herdsman and his gang of thieves.

Seun lalasticlala OAM4J mynd44 Dominique

The day relatives of these dead people that oyigboupdate post daily on your site will sue you, you will know how far.

He keeps posting gory images and lying on ur site. He has been bursted here several times uploading and using pics of cultism related killings for his propaganda. Keep encouraging him to be posting false information on your site. We are watching

Thieves., Rogues, Bastards!!

The effrontery these idiots have in dishing out those lies is seriously annoying.

The line that separates your mindset from that of a terrorist's is the willingness to use violence.

I am not a Muslim. Only muslims are terrorists

frowland:
Which one is government registered plate number? What plate number should the vehicle carry?
The explanation is clear and understandable to any reasonable mind. Just because it happened in the north doesn't mean we should throw away our sense of reasoning.

Common shut up there. Why would an ordinary SUG president be using such a vehicle plate number?? Is he a govt official?? All these aboki on NL sef

Rydermaverick:
You have a big problem with your mindset..I ain't a Muslim but your statement sounds so weird and disgusting..must everyone be a Christian before you agree with them..??
I don't mind if you are gonna insult me won't be expecting nothing less from someone who can open his mouth and insult a religion cos of his hate for it...

I dont argue with a pissful headslammer. Get lost

MALIGNANTGuest:

Go and argue with the organisers

stonemasonn:

There is nothing truth about Islam other than bomb making and terrorism
