Am actually short of word cos I expect more intellectually quite unfortunate though.

If we are to go by this logic then perphaps Nigeria is the richest country in the world cos the richest man in Africa is a Nigerian,the richest pastor et al like...most Nigerian ain't talking about wealth they actually begging the govt for an enabling society they can showcase talent and skills...Sam Jain founder of fare portal started his company with $4000 sourced from credit card now worth multi billion dollars...you think an average Nigerian doesn't have a buisness concept that's will worth billions of naira in the nearest future common where are they going to see the capital to start off...do you know the hell an average Nigerian face before he could get a bank loan yet he will pay ridiculous interest at the end of the day,during the covid 19 that there were lock down there were alot loans they were give to the USA citizen to get back on their feet and at the moment the loan is still going on and people are benefiting I bet you won't wanna to know how many buisness that has ruin as a result of covid 19 in Nigeria what are the government provision for this; nothing!!! absolute nothing!!!...am talking about finances here don't let me tell how lack of basic infrastructure will make you run down don't let me talk about electricity, bad road, security cos it gonna be a long topic...the mumu man even mentioned flutterwaves.. flutterwaves is owned by agboola a Nigerian abroad who worked for years with PayPal before establishing his own company.



Moral lesson is I think it is very stupid to generalize cos have been to places in Nigeria that have 23 hours power supply and also been to places that there is no even an an hour power supply most people he mentioned are the few people making it big and most are not made in Nigeria I mean what's the essence of a country that I can't make it without traveling out to source for capital that's stupid and here you are celebrating mediocrity...yea I don't need to tell you how many Nigerian that are living in abject poverty...an average Nigeria can't even afford three squares meal...don't make me talk about security,health abegiii no talk this rubbish outside ohhhh

Don't mind him if Nigeria was so good the way he mentioned...then why did he moved to the US

Some people because they're privileged they think others are lazy.

In Nigeria the risk of doing business is on the high side, Nigeria has the highest number of female entrepreneurs in the world saw it on historyville posts and also one of the highest number of entrepreneurs in the world but rarely do this business survive because of the cost of doing business, Prior starting business in Nigeria you've to think of providing your own electricity, water supply, security etc Tony Elumelu once said that Nigeria Small and medium scale enterprises pay up to 48 different kinds of taxes annually...taxes upon taxes with nothing to show for it. The interest rate is way over 25% and in some cases you still scrabble for it and even ditch out certain percentages to the corrupt banks MD otherwise there won't be loan for you. We shouldn't even talkabout the fluctuating exchange rate

Yesterday i read the VP talking on Forbes on how Nigeria attracted 10B US dollars worth of investment within the last one year I just laugh so much lies from a government that even banned Twitter without thinking of it's repercussions on Nigerians business
cc: fabyom
Well so many negative things on Nigeri a
Let me digress or derail the thread today

2lola:
To the best of my Knowledge this is false. can you prove it?

I read it from an FRSC chief in one of the dailies
Let me search

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/09/highways-of-death-28195-killed-in-road-accidents-in-68-months/

My badt Nigeria has one of the highest number of road accidents in the world not necessarily the highest in the world

Subzero047:
I like that they are there instead of Turkey

Yeah sure it is better than the league filled with tired unskilled legs

Subzero047:
Bashiru is very good, he was almost breaking into Watford's first team before his horrendous injury

Okay I have never really been impressed by his plays

AndSunGorilla:
Anyways lets see who does better between Onyeka and Ogenekaro, it's just a matter of days for season to start.

Yes bro a matter of days and weeks

charlesemeka85:
to he honest Nwakali and Bashiru re outsider for now. No be say na hate but I am just been sincere

I think the emergence of Alhassan and onyeka hv pushed them down the pecking order

Bashiru is just there i dont expect much from him

maidaboi:
if he do better than Etebo in EPL

I know he will likely do better but let's watch out

This one that most of our players in italy and England are in relegation bound team or struggling team fears me same with thosw in France too

AndSunGorilla:
No am not saying he shouldn't be invited, but if he's invited, he shouldn't be played out of position. Especially because someone already clamored for him to replace Etebo who will also be playing in the EPL.

Even if he replace etebo as a CM he will do better than etebo so no need to fear as regard that for now we have got Aribo ahead of etebo

ChrisKels:
CharlesEmeka the nairaland Fabrizio Romano

Bros why your transfer infos no dey ever click

Here he go again looking for trouble

ChrisKels:
Stop wishing bad luck to these young innocent boys. They deserve better

You've started Chriskels
Nigeria is not bad luck
Some of the citizens and all the leaders in government are.....bad luck

charlesemeka85:
We can have both only time will tell

Yeah wish we can try lure them with afcon and world cup. Both are perfect AMs to provide competition for Iwobi and step up nwakali

Noni can always cuts in from the right. He said he plays 10 prior coming to PSV

charlesemeka85:
Looking forward to hv the below listed players in the super eagles soon

Calvin Bassey--Glasgow rangers lb

Alhassan Yusuf--royal antwep cm

Lesley Ugochukwu--rennes cdm

Frank onyeka--brentford cdm (have been capped but his move to the epl will make a case for his recall to the team)

Good one how about Olise and Noni

wayodude:
I don't want to derail this thread. This space is for football.

I'll round this one up by telling you that the standard of living in Cape Verde is much better in Nigeria. I have been to multiple cities in both countries and I have also read all the stuff you can read on the net just like the one you have quoted. I didn't say it was a rich country, it is however a fully functional one. You asked if I had been to the countries I listed that's why I attached pics as proof.

Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world and nothing works there as it should, from sports to education to politics to the police etc etc If you don't believe me just google poverty capital of the world and see what comes up. I'll give you a hint, it won't be Cape Verde.

I have been to over 50 countries and yet to see one as chaotic as Nigeria...okay maybe Benin Republic comes close.

It's still my county though. Just stating facts.

Some of us here have never been to the core north to see naked and stalked poverty at sway

The Niger Delta region has the 3rd largest oil wells in the world and at the same time the poorest oil producing region in the world

Nigeria is credited to have the highest infant mortality rates in the world, has records of more road crashes than any where else in the world. Over 70% of Nigerians earn less than 1 Dollar per day and thats a large number from a population of 211M people

The standard of living in Nigeria is abysmal it is gross delusional to say Nigeria is doing better than Cape Verde that is wasting no time to even deport nigerians on sight in their country.

TheGoodJoe:

If your wife decides to deliver your child in London, is your child a foreigner?

You're wasting your time reply him

He is archaic. Someone that is embellished in this tribal and primitive thinking

siofra:
It does

Lol...you did the research

You have no knowledge to know that self discipline and control of the mind is what makes up people sexual orientation or actions.

If you lack self control for anything under skirt then surely you'll misbehave.

You're still very young so your reason still low

codemaniacs:
how many Nigerians will work at those places

we are talking about Nigeria so limit your answers to within Nigeria and organisations in Nigeria.. does the Chinese president speak english

If you're important to them they will look for an interpreter or give you places where you can attend language class...

Bale has been in Real Madrid for years and he still can't speak spanish fluently according to the media..


lets stop here...

Talk what you know ooo i work in a multinational coy so my thinking is different from yours.

Anyone that thinks broad now the world is a global village you dont just do business in Nigeria anymore many nigerians are working in Google, UN (currently a nigeria is the deputy secretary general),ADB,World Bank,FAO,FHi360,German corporation,SHELL etc the president of chinese hears English and moreover Chinese is China official language and one of the 5 UN Security council official language spoken,putin speaks English,many world leaders speaks and communicate in English, the more language you can speak the easier your chances on getting a job or opportunities. It is in Nigeria and africa we elect dumb presidents that cant speak any other official language beside English

siofra:
Struggling What has hair in the pubic area got to do with sexual intercourse

You see.....you're naive

Everyone has the way they want their lady or the lady want their vagina to look...learn to respect people's preference
You categorizing men who love and want their partner vagina always shaved as paedophile shows how low you reason.

An hairy vagina kills my interest for sex and i believe some guys too and i that does not make me a paedophile

FlowerGirl040:
Amin.. The more hairy, the more odour. Clean shave and wash properly every time you pee and bath
I deliberately ignored those ones giving me nonsense mentions because I respect myself. I am a married woman and they should respect me and respect themselves

Exactly what works for you and your husband stick to it

mostob:
Despite all the talks about FBs, our home growns still remain the spine of our national team. Yusuf and Nwakali should be gearing up...

With other options like Onyeka and onyedika, what else o we need abeg

This players you mentioned are average likewise many of the foreign born we clamour for too

Sense demands we harness both for our optimum benefit

codemaniacs:
Engl:ish is the language for interviews, exams, documents e.t.c.. it is not the language of communication...

you put "English, french, Spanish, Chinese or Portuguese" above igbo, yoruba, hausa, swahili, zulu, xhosa, akan just highlights how you reason....

When you get to UN security council or FIFA, Specialised UN Agencies, ADB, OAU,OPEC etc speak hausa and Yoruba for them okay

You seems not to understand I am a recruiter thats why i know folks who are bilingual especially competent in English and other world languages are seriously preferred over those that speak just English except they possess some special skills for multinational coys

Speaking your local dialect shouldn't stop you from been smart to know at least the official language spoken in your country because thats the language mainly used in global stage

codemaniacs:
eng:lish is not an indigenous language in Nigeria so its not important that people speak engl:ish...

most of what you mention affects northern Nigeria only and not southern Nigeria.. Nigeria can never have stable electricity due to people who want to ensure a united Nigeria..

under-development, religion and poverty are tools for controlling people to ensure Nigerians remain subservient.... that's why they can shoot live bullets at protesters and the U:N and other world organ:isations won't say anything or would pretend to do something ( like they did during en:ds:ars ) when in reality they are the ones who sanctioned the shooting of the protesters..

The way the world is going right now
Knowing how to speak English, french, Spanish, Chinese or Portuguese is sacrasaunt. Ths official language of Nigeria is English, it is a requirement for recruitment in both government and privateinstitutions so not knowing how to speak English in a country where English is the official language is ridiculous and no brainer

codemaniacs:
one of the main reasons GEJ lost the elections is terr:orist expl:osions happening in Abuja... If b:uhari hands over to a southerner that terr:orism is going to be back in full force.. remember they ( northerners and northern politicians ) said they will make GEJ's tenure ungovernable...

If buha:ri hands over to a southerner all they have to do is what they did during GEJ's tenure with the help of the tin:ubu and some south westerner's.. If a southerner is president the north just has to get another southern tribe to protest against the southerner while also carrying out terr:orist explo:sions and att:acks in some places and also the help of foreign cable news channel to help blow it out of imagination.

In summary, even if the person is better than buha:ri some people will ensure Nigeria is ungovernable and you guys will be back ignorantly saying "I told you so" instead of "they are making this tenure ungovernable"...

God bless you bro
You nailed it

Remember excepts from a northern elder after Gej victory in 2011 that they'll frustrate him out and make the country ungovernable for him

Even Buhari never accepted the result of that election that seriously made many of his supporters to start the post election violence and about 11 youth corpers were killed... immediately after that election boko haram started bomb churches every Sun day and the country was now something else

Now we have got another desperadoin ATIKU that wanna rule by all means...just feed up

dozai:
And Awoniyi with an assist in the DFB porkal.

Thats a good one. He look more like a team player now
Scores and assist when need be

do4luv14:
It's not about the citizens voting,

It's about the inner circle deciding who to rule

The citizens do vote many nigerians vote base on sentiments..... no matter how good a man from edo state is for example he can never be president of Nigeria because of his tribe except by coincidence like what happened with Jonathan. Your tribal and religion affliation play a large rule on who become a governor or president and even in some states in the east if you're not a catholic or Anglican you may never win the governorship election

JohnBullMySon:
Nigerians are always thinking that they are in the worst situations possible. Some of those countries he mentioned hardly even have existing tarred roads outside their capital. They will just see an urban area of less than 500 km2 online and believe that the entire country looks like that.

It seems you've not gone abroad i mean africa countrjes

Because you should know that countries like Seychelles,Mauritius, South africa,Tunisia, Senegal, Egypt, Bostwana are doing way better than Nigeria in political, infrastructural,economic, human development so whats the point u argue that Nigeri a is doing better than this countries? We don't even have stable electricity,terrorism swells currently have the 3rd and 4th deadliest terrorism group in the world in our country

When it comes to percentage of poor people in the world, minimum wage, highest infant mortality rate, highest road accidents index, terrorism and failed state index we have it more than them and even one of the highest in the world

Have you even been and live in the core north Go there and see naked poverty, you'll see thousands of kids going to millions with plates running from house to house begging for food
Kids that are supposed to be school but not in school and don't even hear english

Karlovych:
Better start preparing because it will surely happen

Lol...yes I will
Nigeria mata tire me
The citizens dont mind vote the devil as long as they're of same tribe or religion

FlowerGirl040:
I am still surprise my dear. I do clean shave, I hate to see down there hairy and I have no single rashes. I like it neat and fresh, so also is my husband. I have been married for years now and I clean shave till date. No problems what so ever.

God bless you and your husband
I hate it when people come online to tell others how to live their lives
Stick to what has been working for you.
God forbid i marry a woman that dont shave completely.

siofra:
I'll say it again, men who insist women shave their pubic area are PAEDOPHILES

You just open your mouth to spew words that are not tenable
Na wa ooo

TheSuperNerd:
And gentlemen please, enough of these derailing discussions. This is a Football thread.

I implore you all involved in these derailing discussions on politics and government to cease abeg. We have Football games to follow and Naija players to keep up with again today. Thank you and Happy Sunday.

Okay Bro

JohnBullMySon:
He might be in custody already. Even Zakacky was treated too.

Though I know this country is crazy, I no dey like to just believe anything.

Custody for where It seems you dont get this buhari jihadist agenda
How many of this terrorist or bandits have been tried and prosecuted?

The government is openly supporting this arsonist and killers and it is worrisome

ChrisKels:
Alhassan is better than Etebo, Ejaria. This guy is the answer

Bro we all know Etebo

JohnBullMySon:
Early enough in my life, I told myself that I won't be influenced by the opinions of a person, only facts. I've listened to NK severally and I've also listened to every Buhari interview since he became president. I fact check all claims by all of them and never allow any man's opinion influence me whether pastor, activist, politician. All of them lie a lot and if you don't have another perspective on the matter, you will be deceived and manipulated.

I should have ignored Chris, but I responded to him because all those statements he was making, might just breed Igbo hate and antagonism on some people here. He will now come back after six months to say that Igbo players are hated here, not knowing that he's the cause.

Exactly bro. You're very intelligent. Education make us to have urge for learning,teachable and above all a critical mind of analysis
I love this comment
