That Liberian, mr Sawyer was a real bastard.The ambassador is also a slowpoke.It is an attitude that is unfortunately very common in Africa;no respect for science and competence, everything is politics. RIP dr Ohieri, Adadevoh and others.

Every sane and honest Nigerian should be embarrassed about this.A national disgrace

The soviet union was also defeated in Afghanistan

triple996:
Some people are mocking Russia in this war. You guys have forgotten how Americans and the entire nato failed to beat ragtag Afghanistan. Or their failures in Vietnam. By the way, men are becoming extinct in Ukraine.

The reforms include awarding trillions of naira worth of contract to Chagoury without any bidding abi?

seunowa:
You are just bereft of knowledge. Reforms are painful but necessary. It is just like a pregnant woman who has to undergo cesarean section for delivery. So just as cesarean section is painful but necessary for a pregnant woman who has difficulty in delivering so is reform iniatiated by Tinubu.

God bless you my brother. It is voodoo economics,they keep celebrating setting revenue records while citizens groan under the weight of the inflation and hardship caused by their "achievement".

njokuuche77:
When you hear that Customs made a record 28 Billion in just one day, don't look at it as government magic. That money came directly out of the pockets of importers, exporters, and everyday consumers.

High Customs revenue simply means it is now incredibly expensive to clear goods at the port. Importers pass that heavy cost down to the market, which is why a bag of rice, spare parts and electronics keep double-pricing.
The sad part? We are paying through our noses for these records, yet our roads, electricity, schools and hospitals have absolutely nothing to show for it.

You are intelligent. Unfortunately, many Nigerians will not understand what you said,critical thinking is too hard for them.

nairalanda1:
Well, the PTA is not being realistic.

Nigerians do not seem to realize that things cost far more than they thinK. i am not denyiing corruption exists. I am not a child. But the fact is, King's college is decaying, as are most federal government colleges, because governments past and present built far too many schools and universites over the years beyond the ability of the education budget to carry them. This is even before we talk of the looting and corruption in the sector at all levels.

The thing is, even if corruption ends in the education budget, there is no way what is budgeted can keep king's college at high level

We can lie to ourselves, or we can face the truth. Yaradua wanted to concession the schools, the same nigerians called him names. Have the schools gotten better? No, they have gotten worse and worse and worse. Meanwhile, the rich and the elite go to proper private schools that are well furnished. And in time the advantage will tell

EIther the schools are concessioned, or fees go up, or we just sit down and watch as the schools become a mess. I already know how Nigerians feel about taxation.

We can keep pretending income from 1.8 m bpd of oil is enough for a nation of 230 million people. LOL.

This is one IPO that is really worth participating in.

What brand of weed are you smoking?

Kemetian:
SHUT UP AND STOP TALKING RUBBISH.

YORUBAS MANUFACTURED GLASS IN THE PRECOLONIAL ERA, DATING BACK TO OVER A THOUSAND YEARS AS FOUND IN RECENT DISCOVERIES IN IGBO-OLOKUN, NEAR ILE-IFE.

THEY MANUFACTURED AND EXPORTED SOAP TO EUROPE IN MASSIVE QUANTITIES.

IN FACT PORTUGAL HAD TO BAN THE IMPORT OF WEST AFRICAN MANUFACTURED SOAP IN THE 1860s TO PROTECT THEIR FLEDGLING SOAP INDUSTRY.

IGBOS INVENTED IRON SMELTING IN LEJJA WHERE THE WORLD'S OLDEST SMELTING SITE WAS DISCOVERED AND CARBON-DATED TO 2650 BCE.

THE VIKINGS CAPTURED AND SOLD THEIR FELLOW WHITE PEOPLE TO THE BLACK AFRICAN MOORS WHO RULED ALMOST ALL OF EUROPE BETWEEN THE 7TH AND 15TH CENTURY. 800 YEARS.

ALSO BLACK AFRICANS INCLUDING IN NIGERIA INVENTED MULTIPLE FORMS OF COMMUNICATION THAT WERE MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN THE MERE ALPHABET BROUGHT BY THE THIEVING COLONIAL INVADERS FROM ENGLAND.

AROKO, NSIBIDI, ADINKRA, LUKASA, AND OTHER COMMUNICATION FORMS THAT CONVEYED MEANING AND DEPTH IN A WAY THAT NO ALPHABET COULD.

THE BRITISH INVADERS CAME WITH GUNS AND BOMBS AND DEMONISED AND TRASHED THOSE SYSTEMS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T SERVE THEIR GREED-DRIVEN BUREAUCRACY THEY NEEDED TO LOOT OUR RESOURCES.

OKAY?

SO GO AND LEARN YOUR BLACK HISTORY FROM PROPER BLACK SCHOLARS INSTEAD OF RELYING ON BRITISH COLONIAL PROPAGANDA REPORTS, OKAY?

Congratulations to him.There is freedom of religion

This just shows that longevity and aging varies from person to person according to genetic make up.With advances in biotechnology and AI,hopefully one day the condition will be treatable.RIP to the young man

Some people are trying to use this unfortunate incident for nefarious political purposes. The officer was killed in Abuja,allegedly by kidnappers when he resisted their attempts to abduct him.

chimaxx:
The religious colouration of Ude is bigotry and disservice to the dead, This is not the first adoption and killing of high ranking military officer in recent times. And he was killed not o the east as suggested by this Oga, he was killed in Abuja for resisting adoption for ransom. Some of our so called religious leaders should be guided of utrances capable of igniting violence and division

God bless Elon Musk,he is a true man of God that is using technology to help mankind unlike the fraudsters we have in Nigeria that use religion to deceive gullible citizens.

Has Oshiomole ever successfully run any business even if it is a trading business? Those of us who have done both trading and manufacturing know how difficult trading is in Nigeria.

He is obviously not a successful footballer. Football is like music,the unsuccessful ones go through a lot of hardship.

KhalifaJay:
Nawa oh
Football money no do you ??

You really don't know what you are talking about. In a competitive environment, there is no room for excessive profits, your competitors will simply destroy you.Nigeria today is littered with dead and shutdown factories from the north to the south because of the factors he mentioned .

banku:
I respectfully disagree.

You listed everything that led to high cost of production except unreasonable Profit. I think while high credit cost is insane, the cost and generation of Electricity is genuine, excessive profit is a killer in Nigeria.

Your labor cost is cheaper than the Asian countries you listed yet every local producer use foreign exchange rate to raise prices; including bottled water.

These same manufacturers that complained about Electricity, road and taxes go to other African countries to buy a virgin bush. They establish factories there powered by newly built plants and roads!

They sell cheaper there than in Nigeria and still make their profit. The fact remains that there are enough Nigerians, despite the poor masses, that can pay for their products.

Why is this even news? In many cultures, people marry their cousins. It only becomes a problem if the level of cousin marriage is excessive as it can cause genetic problems.

Well,this one is now using a coffin.Quite unfortunate

BATified2023:
guy if by now u don't know it's team small girl with big god then u are on a long thing.

It's like u are just new to all these politicians?

Any girl working in federal ministry na steady food to all these men Dem

If u know u know

Go Federal secretariat and u will see one small girl whose only job is office assistant using mad Benz or venza

What exactly was she doing in the man's house? How can a health worker employed by government be seconded to an individual's house? Or was it a private visit? The lady should not be buried without an autopsy by an independent and credible pathologist.

Xi should please come and deal with all these fraudsters who call themselves pastors in Nigeria

Congratulations to them
They still need to meet Simon with big gbola in surulere for complete deliverance.

Mtn south Africa can be forced to relinquish their stake in mtn nigeria. The government can take over their stake and sell it to another global telecoms player with the requisite technical and financial capacity. There is a principle of reciprocity in international relations, you can not illegally expropriate the assets of Nigerians and other Africans living in south Africa and expect that there will be no consequences.

What is wrong with channels tv? They are doing a great job.You are comparing apples to oranges though, Channels TV and DSTV don't exactly offer the same service.

Zionmdde:
Mtn should go and leave us with glo and airtel abi?
Dstv should go and leave us with NTA and Channels tv abi

This is one thing about a country that is not self sufficient. Imagine mtn leaves nigeria.

The whole thing is perplexing.The amount of physical and mental energy these people expend inorder to commit their atrocities is mind boggling.Truly,there is evil in this world

Amotolongbo:
Western Education and Knowledge is sacrilegious but they could utilise it to execute their aim and believe.
Why didn’t they use their quran verses and hadiths which they believe in to build AI or execute their plan?

It’s all about politics of stealing people’s land

Nigeria is a graveyard of factories. From the north to the south,the country is littered with shut down factories. The reason;poor electricity supply,bad industrial policy,a very unstable currency, insecurity.

Exactly what I am thinking
We Africans don't like ourselves
Dangote should be careful
A future Kenyan president may frustrate the refinery project or even forcefully nationalize the business.

Keyin:
South Africa's Afrophobic (Xenophobic) treatment in my mind. It is risky to invest outside your country now. Who knows tomorrow!

Same here,I travel fot both business and leisure
Now, it is a very risky thing to do.We are not living,we are merely existing in this country .

Juliette5803:
Traveling is my hobby
Nowadays the only place I can travel to is my house after work,
We have accepted all these senseless killings as part of our society, nobody cares anymore

The real challenge is not hiring a good architect. It is getting people to use the platform

Incognito403:
Somethi g Telegram has implemented since 2014.

Americans will be making a storm in a teacup about simple features.

If not for our the visionless folks who call themselves elites. All this twitter, facebook, whatsapp etc are simple apps that you can easily build.

The only challenge is hiring a good architect and that is very doable.

You forgot to add that the same first lady was reported to have gifted SUVs to some of her party members recently. Imagine doing that while encouraging citizens to fry akara and at a time when the government is heavily borrowing and innocent citizens including children are in various kidnappers" dens.God help us in this country

CodeTemplar:
Firewood 1,500

It can Oga.
Where the wackness comes in is thinking about such when we are exporting raw materials to pay loans that have been wasted n looted.

A maternal DNA test can be used to rule out baby swaps and mistakes by the hospital

ojuu4u:
Man should endeavor to know that, it's not every DNA result that comes out negative, bornes out as a result of infidelity on the part of wife, though infidelity carries significant portion. Atimes, some corrupt hospital officials do exchange newly born babies at birth, going by confession one medical doctor operating in private hospital in pH recently.

Any hospital where there is no burglaries on windows, couples should wary of it and remain utmost vigilant during childbirth g

How do you know he is running an "okada" business? You sound so negative. He has shared his experience and I agree with most of the things he wrote.That you can't profitably run a business in Nigeria does not mean that some other person will not succeed. I like the fact that he acknowledged the harsh realities of today's Nigeria. Dear OP,welcome back home.By God's grace,You will stay and thrive and the evil kidnappers and bandits will not see you.

Kaczynski:
You’re telling me you swapped a UK salary for a Lagos logistics business and cleared more in naira? Either your math is as shaky as Nigeria’s power grid or you’re running a glorified okada operation.

So the UK made you a robot and Lagos made you alive? Priorities, my guy.


You’re not building something meaningful. You’re running a glorified okada service with a fancy title. You came back because you couldn’t hack it abroad and now you’re selling it as a choice. Weak.

Spare me the redemption arc. Just admit you missed the suffering.

It depends on the power of the explosive involved. If it is a planted bomb,it is possible the evil terrorist miscalculated and used an insufficient amount of explosive. We thank God for that.

Neoteny:
Smells like CNG mishap.

An IED under the passenger side will likely not result in the driver not just surviving, but being in a stable condition.
