My degree is not a waste. [b]I learnt beyond the lectures and tutorials. I didn't limit myself to the 'classroom experience.' [/b]It was a life experience for me.

You just indicted yourself that you only learnt by yourself. The university process alone was inadequate.

Lol

Yoruba needs Odua, Igbos need Biafra... Does that mean it's only Hausas that are holding the country together? Are they this powerful?

Somehow, yes. This country was entrusted to the Hausa-Fulani Oligarchy by the erstwhile colonial power to be its proxy, and guarantee its continued functioning as a colony. They reared and brainwashed the children of the oligarchy for this purpose, and in return they pledge to Prop up their power, rule, and priviledges.

For this reason, the Western powers will always support the northern oligarchy to hold power in Nigeria against all other comers. They know that southerners in power will likely succumb to the masses pressure to restructure the country. The Northern Oligarchy will NEVER restructure this country because their POWER is based on the existing chaos and irregularities.

The elite of the north are now caught in a dilemma. The way they operate the country does not mean well for the Nigerian masses including their own subjects, who are even worse off. Their subjects demand of them dividends of their rulership and they can not deliver, instead they try to use ethnicity and religion to pull the wool over the masses eyes. When the masses hold them to account over the same religion they are found wanting. That is the tragedy of boko haram.

You told me that the reason for the wretched state of things is lack of sharia, Ok can we set things aright by full implementation? and then you baulk!

Alcatraz003:
This is the folly of the whole struggle. How can you clamour for freedom from the oppressor and still flood his land?

Igbos need to thoroughly evaluate this and find a lasting solution to their migration problem. The singular move of moving back to the east by all igbos will aid the biafran struggle by at least 50%. Anything short of this will only embolden the oppressing tribes to see igbos as court jesters.

A lot of people are watching with keen interest how the igbos will pull this off.

You don't just get it, do you? Suprising! The clamour is not against any people, tribe, ethnic group, or country. It is against the system. The neocolonial system that has imprisoned the Africans in sham, unviable, psedo nation states.

It is this bondage that every single ethnic group in Nigeria is clamouring about, begging God for liberation. What is the various pan tribal groups all about? From OPC to Afenifere, MEND (MOVEMENT FOR THE EMANCIPATION OF NIGER DELTA), MOSOP (Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People), AREWA, BOKO HARAM, etc Every single one is crying for liberation from oppression! So who is oppressing who? It is not any particular person or region. It is the system.

That is why the wise ones have never ceased the call for restructuring based on a sovereign national conference to reconstitute the country in the best form it can be for the welfare of its people.

idupaul:
First thing we should know the decline in oil prices is not commensurate to the level of drop our economy has witnessed. . Have you asked yourself that that despite low oil prices and virtually no democratic structure on ground plus no foreign reserve and a heavy debt profile how Obasanjo managed to steer the country to some growth ..Mr I will highlight some poor decisions made by a visionless Buhari (I also voted for him oo) that virtually nuked the Nigerian economy.

Before President Buhari was sworn in Oil prices had spiralled down plus he was taking over from an exceptionally corrupt govt led by the meek GEJ. A wise leader taking over such affairs will not do some things ..below are things Buhari shouldn't have done ..

1: He shouldn't have spent more than six months choosing his ministers and team ..Knowing that we were in an era of low oil revenues Buhari should have hit the ground running in a manner that will inspire confidence in the NIGERIAN economy but he didn't rather he left the country without a policy framework or directionfor 6 months .

2: The ridiculous MTN fine : 6 months after his inauguration Buhari suddenly realises he has low revenue from oil and take advantage of the simplest registration penalty to slap MTN the largest fine ever heard in human history , a ridiculous fine of 5 billion dollars ..that immediately set most multinationals who had been operating under lax Nigerian laws to find parallel means of expatriating over 80 billion dollars out of the country in under 3 weeks just in case the govt of the new sheriff decided to clamp down on their profits still housed in Nigeria..Ironically the president couldn't even get MTN to pay the 5 billion dollar as it was reviewed to some really paltry some to be paid small small over time but the damage was already done .

3: For years most people knew our Banks relied on govt patronage for a large percentage of its deposits..Mr Buhari in his visonles manner goes on to pull the rug over night by implementing TSA a 100 percent instead of the piece meal fashion recommended by those who even created the TSA in the first place, the banking industry was suddenly hit with a massive withdrawal symptom that also cascaded into the real private sector including small businesses .

4: When oil prices are low oil producing country usually ramp up production to try to use volume to counter losses realised form low oil margins and that why Saudi Arabia this year increased production levels to a record high ..In Nigeria what did Buhari do? Buhari chose such are time to declare Tompolo wanted for a supposed fraud of 13 billion naira thereby throwing the region into chaos as militants took to the offensive to avoid arrest. .this action further cut down our production by another half meaning despite low oil price Mr Buhari now had to deal with low output and production.

5: Recently as production started to pick up the Army announced it was deploying 10 thousand soldiers to the region ..I don't have a problem with that but why announce it ..By announcing it tension is again heightened in the region. .Abacha deployed more troops to the Niger delta but never announced it sef .

Bro I can go on and on ..the truth is that Buhari can never make a great leader and will never .he doesn't have that vision and prefers knee jerk action to well thought out solutions

An excellent analysis! You should be up there bro!

No. 1 especially. Sent a message of cluelessness and a despicable unprepardness. Incompetence of the highest order. Buhari has no blueprint or agenda for governing the country, after struggling 12 years for it, even with death threats of blood, baboons and dogs! What a disaster! This proves that idiagbon was the actual power behind the throne in 1985.

Thank God

And your father was a bishop? Didn't he teach you anything?!

Nepotism at work, the epitome of corruption itself

Dumbest meme ever.

How can lions follow a goat? A true lion would have devoured the carcass of that goat

If you're referring to we nigerias as lions then you my friend, are on a long thing.

Thank you for a good reply to the dumb post!

Again?

ZKOSOSO:
Lies, typical of apc.
They are all born between 1900 and 1950.

They set the ball rolling.... and handed to their children both politicall and biological..

We know them. 50% of them are alive today..... with military background...

You are correct. The OP got it wrong

Where is the independent verification of all these dubious statistics?

Please this is photoshop. At that size ( it must weigh heavier than the man), the man cannot be holding that fish that way without any support.

Good

OP, you have identified all the problems we already know. But like anyone else, you haven't a clue as to the solutions. All you have suggested are just your own ideosyncracies. There is no evidence that such will make the African society better. The whole world is full of hypocrisy and political correctness, and any people have only their culture to regulate and guide them.

THE ROOT CAUSE IS A DEFICIENT CULTURE that has been distorted by the cultural shock of the first contact with a technologically far more advanced europe, coupled with colonially induced social engineering.

This distorted culture needs to be undone...somehow.

I was thinking you were leading up to a suggestion to reinvigorate and also re-engineer the african culture to be more productive in directing Africans.

But then who can "bell this cat"? Or by which means can this be accomplished? That is the question.

"Na ezi a , bekee bu agbara!" Actually, A culture that can produce this event can know no limits.

?..well..I ain't no racist,is trump a mad man? Yes,is trump telling the truth?yes.with the shootings and terrorist attacks all over the world?..hell yeah.we need to keep some religious fanatics in check..I'm with Donald on this..

Yes, the liberals in america have gone too far. Trump is required to bring 'balance to the force'. To check the descent of American civilization into decadence. However, he needs to be tightly leashed, or he might over react and spin out of control and trigger a major world crisis.

Fear not. Its completely natural. Its called sleep paralysis. If its too frequent, then you need to see a doctor for medication.

Henry240:
Your just as completely hopeless as the O.P and as foolish as the writer of that article.


There are two parts of the Auto-Industy, there are Vehicle Assemblers (Toyota, Nissan, BMW, OPEL, GMC, Innoson etc etc) and there are those who are referred to as Vehicle Component Manufacturers.


No Vehicle company on earth builds all the components of their vehicles by themselves, they all order for parts from Vehicle Component Manufacturers you dunce!

If you can call the writer of that erudite article foolish then I'm not sure how to qualify you.

You have told us the Vehicle Assemblers in Nigeria. Can you also tell us who the Vehicle Component Manufacturers are, because that is the crux of the matter. Anyone can assembly.

Also tell me where ordinary bicycles are manufactured in Nigeria.

Henry240:
You're an illiterate. You and the person who shared it with you are both low life illiterates who have decided rather than do common research, you'll instead wallow in complete ignorance.



Here are just a couple vehicles made in Nigeria and even exported abroad.

I dont know if by "made in Nigeria" you actually meant 'Assembled in Nigeria'?
Because you and I know that we cant even make tyre in this country. No one in this Nigeria can make a bicycle from locally sourced or fabricated parts (even 20% locally sourced parts). All the keke Napep are imported. So what are you talking about?

Please let's leave false pride and dignity and come down to earth.

A report full of rare insight. Alas! such will never reach front page. It will not resonate with the masses. The time has not come. There must be much more suffering, before eyes will be opened.

I ask if this is a joke or something? And why are people commenting with all seriousness? 1 year 3 months baby?

You know what is 1 year old? That cant even talk, and only understands simple commands. Most cant yet walk and still crawling.

The OP is spewing trash. Either that, or the children are much older, say 3 to 4 years. Its only 3 to 4 yrs that could be capable of comprehension and imitation such as the op described.

Blade21:
how dare you flog a 1 year old ?yes what he was doing was wrong you correct him by telling him what not to do and then report to his parents or better scold his parents , you are afraid of them been angry no no the will appreciate you, better tell them before he innocently abuses another child and before you know it's a circle

Richy4:
I know that GPS is the best thing that could happen to a driver.... Just want to know, does it mean that GPS does not work in Nigeria?

It works. Just that many roads are bad, and some not even passable. The bad roads are not indicated on the navigation map, and the gps might direct you there. There is need for more information based on ground experience.

Hmm...this is getting out of hand

Whats all this? If her reawakening is a miracle, then what do u call her slumping, in the first place?

Elumelu:
People fail to acknowledge one fact about James Onanefe Ibori. During his time as governor, he is the most efficient and detribalised governor. He is the one gov. that has developed his state equally. What he did in asaba he was doing in warri, agbor, ughelli, sapele, obiaroko and his genius to link all communities and villages to the major towns. His developmental stride ranges from road to electricity, good pipe borne water, health, schools, busary and scholarship for students at all level, to mention but a few.
James Onanefe Ibori has remained one good thing that has happened to Delta state since it's inception and I will challenge anyone to compare the transformation he did in all the cities, towns and villages in delta to any of his contemporaries who just concentrate on their capital.
Can say much cos my eyes are heavy for a true leader whom the hands of the West in collabo with some unseen hands have forced my leader to flee a state he built single handed. Long live Delta State! Long live Ibori.

I concur.

In mark anthony's voice:"Only just yesterday, the word of Ibori might have stood against the whole world. But here lies he here today, and none so poor as to do him reverence. O masters! If I were disposed to move your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, I would do brutus wrong, and cassius wrong, who you all know as honourable men. Rather, I choose to wrong myself and you; than that I should wrong such honourable men!

VictorRomanov:
Mind reader! Did i say he did wrong?

However since u want to rationalize on the scriptures, let's do it

Point 1: in the Jesus' day it was the custom for men to divorce women and rarely vice versa. Now let's say Jesus was alive on earth today when any partner, male or female, could get a divorce, u honestly feel he would reason the way u re doing now?

Put yourself in pastor chris shoes. What could you really do, if a woman is bent on leaving you despite all your efforts at a rapprochement? And she has gone to the courts and annulled the marriage and published same in the press?

Point 2: notice that he who marries a woman who was put away commits adultery. What would happen to a woman who marries a man who was put away by his wife?

What you are now saying is that, as the divorce has become an accomplished fact despite his efforts against it, he must stay without a patner? Let's not add or subtract words from the scriptures. As to what happens to a man who was put away by his wife, the scriptures did not specify-perhaps it was irrelevant; so your guess is as good as mine. Mine? Nothing happens to the man.

VictorRomanov:
King James Version
Mt 19:9:

According to your quote, pastor chris has done no wrong. He did not put away his wife. She was the one who left on her own. So he is blameless.

No. That's Allison Madueke

UNITED REPUBLICS OF NIGERIA (URN)

989900:
Britain's exit from the EU, is akin to say Nigeria exiting from the AU; not one part of Nigeria seceding.

Britain's exit from the EU is not supported by Cameron.

Britain's exit from the EU was done in a democratic, civilized, and non-threatening way.

Scottish independence referendum (similar to what Biafra seeks) took place in a democratic, civilized, and non-threatening way too (most people voted against it . . . no one was threatening murder and chaos).

Britain's exit from the EU was a close one at 52-48 . . . funny enough, a large percentage of voters later confessed they had no idea of what the implications of BREXIT means! Duh! Further reason why chronic ignorance of the masses is the manure that perpetuates their permanent enslavement . . . "democracy is the false assumption that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge".
I'm guessing most 'yes' exit voters by now, would have a re-think if they have a second chance.

BREXIT is yet to be formalized, and there are still chances (though slim) of not seeing it through.

Thank you, for a clear and dispassionate head - what is needed in this forum
