MrPolitics:
The bad governance we've endured is why you are unable to comprehend. It's the fault of the poor education sector. I don't know where I told you that I wanted PDP back or you didn't see where I called them all failures?

Buhari is a failure

If you don't think so, please use the prayer I posted earlier

You get big mouth sha. The hardship is temporary, we cannot keep importing food and other nonsense into the country without restraint. Take responsibility for your own life.

MrPolitics:
You are simply cursed if you think Buhari has not failed. So do you have change now? Are u not queuing for fuel even after increase? Is food not more expensive? Nearly 10 million jobs lost in just 2 years, shady NNPC contracts worth billions, appointing dead people in to office, dollar at a ridiculously high rate, ethnic division like never before, non-Challant to attitude towards the people etc.

If you think Buhari hasn't failed, you need to reevaluate your life and the kind of people you choose to worship.
All of them failed but you are happy with this one.
If you believe he hasn't failed, why don't you pray to God to handle your life the way Buhari handles Nigeria?

You need help

And you blame Buhari for the above issues?

Buhari is easy to point our finger of blame to.

So easy to manipulate the Igbos......

IGBO and their victim mentality...........again and again

Why not ask for Obi of FCT.......WEREY

ThE foolS won't understand

MrPolitics:
I agree and the same can be said about his successor. Both failures

Buhari has NOT failed!

We cant keep importing food and other nonsense! Cry and wail away your life if you like.

Weah please ignore the slowpoke sharp sharp!

OfficialAwol:
So the mentality of Nigerians caused recession?
Fuel scarcity?
Increment in price of commodity?
Taking six months to appoint ministers?
Appointment of dead people into boards?
I can go on....

Were all these things caused by the mentality of Nigerians?

It's a pity your father thinks he's got a son...

Ok Buhari sat in his office decided all the above? Use your head and get over Jonathan ...he and his likes are not coming back.

Nigerians caused all the above problems. Keep wailing it's free.

pressplay411:
By "Jerry Rawlings" all the old mofos ruining this country since time immemorial.
Then overhauling public service to ensure only graduates and qualified hands are employed in order to checkmate the decadence and laziness they're known for.
Fixing electricity and instilling a sense of discipline in Police force.
Ofcourse investing into education and technology.

Fix you say? How?

Anybody can say the word FIX

victorioushands:
I will put every other secondary matter on hold and ensure 24 hour power supply round the country DESPITE EVERY ODD.

I will bring managers to head ll ministries and then bring professionals to deputize plus an expo of professionals who have power to veto the managers of ministries.

I will bring discipline into our military and paramilitary - including those guarding our borders.

I'll set I gigantic and zonal/ethnic/tribal committed to bring in their template for a new Nigeria and I will have a board of professionals who will look into them and come out with an agreeable template for the new Nigeria.

I will delete jamb from ll records and make education accessible and affordable even to a barrow pusher. There will be ways to get a given refund.

I will institute politics and history in all Nigerian schools - from primary through secondary.

I will make it mandatory and compulsory for all who have bank accounts to have voters card. Those up to 18 must also present theirs before they obtain anything government regulated.

There are so much more but most of them will be subbed under these.

Nigeria can be great.

How long will this take you? And how do you bring all the differenceS and divergent views together? AbI you think you can just bark orders from Aso Rock and expect all 180m Nigerians and 300 tribes to just agree with you?

Bull shit all over this thread......

mpowa:
These 'Apologize Fc' will not let Nigerians rest. What's it with apologize, apologize? What nonsense apology? Was it right or wrong to vote GEJ out? absolutely right, the regime was very corrupt and ineffective. Don't tell me one evil was better than the other, APC and Buhari have not delivered as expected doesnt mean people regret voting Jonathan out, only God know what would've happened if he wasn't stopped. 2019 is here, if Buhari can't salvage anything in 2018, vote them out in 2019, nobody need to apologize for anything.

I voted for Jonathan in 2011,i voted against him in 2015. I voted for Buhari in 2015, in 2019, I might not vote if there's no better and credible candidate, you don't tell people what choice to make and if they don't make they must apologize.. We'll keep on voting them in and out until we get there. Pls save us this apology noise Abeg.

May God Orunmila bless you!!!

You are all MAD for 2 reasons

1. Voting Jonathan was NOT an option in 2015

2. The problem is NOT Buhari (let those Eastern wail on) but Nigerian people, Nigeria citizens, the warped mentality and values of the Nigerian people. Can't you ALL see we are the problem?

3. This unitary centralised system (created by Nrozi) is not and can never work, but the northern power holders need it for their stranglehold on the country.

Buhari is NOT the problem!!! To hell with those talking about Jonathan!!

Mcowubaba:
None really, the are all useless, that's the point I'm making
If Nigeria had reasonable leaders, things will not be as bad as this.
98% of Nigerian leaders (South, East, West, Central, North) are all useless.

Rochas is moulding Statues in the East
Najeem Salaam is sharing Lipton and gala in the West

Our society is just simply incapable of producing 'good' leaders. The sooner you understand this fact, the better for all of us. Our people are still driving on the wrong side of the road despite government's efforts to stop them. Too many poor people giving birth to children they can not bring up properly. We are corrupt, unruly, cheats, rowdy, ungovernable people. How do you expect us to produce good leaders?

Thank science not God.

givan:
$36.9 billion - $1billion =...

Olodo, poor ignoramus!

ECA and reserves are 2 different pots

phkka1:
Ikpeazu is owing 8 months salary for civil servants.

Buhari made noise all salaries will be paid before this year's Christmas. He cannot match words with action.

So Buhari should send the Army to Abia State to force Ikpeazu to pay the salaries?

A-Thief-Crook supporter!

Nonsense write up.

Godwin978:
am sure this will be his last birthday, he is dead already because of upcoming election between him and Atiku, odiota old muslim, so many Nigerians are starving because of you,

Shut up there jare....

python1:
Say that to these disgusting beasts pictured below.

Disgusting creatures from a particular region of the country?

horsepower101:
On point 6, the only group in Nigeria that exercise the true meaning of one Nigeria to the core are IGBOS. They treat everywhere they live in a their home. They build and develop the areas with their hard earned money. Other groups don't do that because at the back of their mind they don't believe in one Nigeria.

If igbos that are very action oriented are not considered patriotic, then what group is?

Na LIE.

Igbo states are tiny, disorganised, low resources, and generally not as habitable as other regions. Face the truth!

Desperation to travel abroad is killing us
By: Mr Rights

In 2008, i helped a friend through the process of obtaining U.S visa. He got it very easily. At the time, i was a travel consultant. Before securing the visa, my friend and other friends often say U.S visa is very expensive to get, but I decided to prove them wrong. Apart from visa fee, bank statement, hotel reservation and evidence of his source of livelihood, he didn’t spend one naira on any other thing. I later learn that someone had duped his older brother of about N1.5 million for the same purpose. For some years, I worked as a travel consultant. I helped people through the process of securing visa in different countries. Understanding the process makes everything easy. You don’t need millions to secure visa to any country. If you are qualified and have necessary documents, all you need is a visa fee not more than 50k, depending on the type of visa. Whenever I hear that someone paid millions to an agent to get visa for them, I wonder if the agent is the consular officer. Those who ask people to bring those huge amounts of money are merely feasting from public gullibility. If you are not qualified, you won't get the visa, no matter how much you spend. If you get the visa, trust me, its not because of the money spent. I have seen wives of governors denied visa at the embassy before. Getting visa has nothing to do with money. If you will get it, you will, if you won’t, you won't. Just understand the process or get a consultant to help you through. However, I often discourage people from traveling abroad for permanent relocation. Particularly those desperately going for hustle,I try to give them information they never had about their destination. I once had a girlfriend whose life dream is to live abroad. She is an interesting case study because there is nothing you can say to change her mind. She eventually achieved her aim. Though i don't know how she is doing now. Sometimes past, one of my friends in Ilorin was duped of over N800k. He paid that money to an agent who promised to get him Spanish visa. Before he made this payment, I discouraged him from traveling abroad. I told him to use the money set up business here in Nigeria and he said he would. But he never did. After many months, I saw him again. Probably he has forgotten we discussed the matter long ago, so he told me how he was duped of 800k. I shake my head in disbelieve. Desperation makes you foolish. Even when you can see no light at the end of the tunnel, you give yourself false hope. Blind hope actually. No, its even dead hope. Many had ended up in red sea due to this dead hope. May their soul rest in Peace. Life abroad is not what many people think. I have several people who returned home after seeing the reality abroad. A friend from Abuja had gone to study in U.K, hoping to remain there after school, he came back home and narrated the story. A U.S green card holder now resides in my area in Ilorin, he never wanted to go back to U.S, except on visit. His wife, friends and family almost disowned him for returning, because he never told them he was coming home full time. After the pressure from is wife became so unbearable, he told her, madam, i can help you facilitate your own travel to U.S if you want. For me, am done. Traveling abroad doesn’t amount to going to heaven. It doesn’t worth the huge investment, both emotional and financial. Some people sold everything they had just to raise traveling fare. Some even sold their fathers houses. But the sad truth is that, out of every 100 person who travels abroad, hardly do 5 make it big legitimately. The rest are struggling. Please, don't get me wrong. I am not saying you shouldn’t travel if you want to, but please, if you have to travel abroad, do it legitimately and most importantly, understand the situation of where you are going properly to decide whether it worth leaving everything behind.

Deban:
My advice, there is nothing like home. Home is where you make it, but you have to be rugged, determined, smart to hit the ground and running.

A lot of people do not fulfill there potentials abroad until they finally come home. In the US or Europe, you don't get close to those in government because you don't know them. there are procurement jobs or contracts by the US or European government. The people in government patronise companies of people they already know, being childhood friends, neighbours, school mates. Now, not being born Americans or Europeans mean you will be a stranger and outsider to this opportunities. You can't really fulfill your potentials. In the end, you end up working forever in US or Europe and live from hand to mouth. In Nigeria, you will have opportunities to own and grow your company and have your childhood friends, school mates in authority patronise you with contract or procurement job or whatever field of specialization. You can actually be employer of labour in Nigeria. Most owners of the new generation banks were trained in US or Europe.

I lived in the Western world for over 13 years, with Masters degree from there. Naturalised and kids. but I struggled from hand to mouth. I worked in the financial industry. I tried coming back several times but left out of frustration. But I know I want to live well and rule my world than live where the time determines what I do, wake, work, gym, watch TV and sleep, only to wake up and repeat same activity the next day, seeing less educated white boys boss me. I know I did not want to see white boys bidding and getting contracts from the borough while I struggle to bid and win after I registered my company. During President Jonathan's era, many US and Europe based flooded Nigeria. I seized the opportunity. I registered a company in Nigeria and started networking and winning contracts. Invested in transport with my buses plying Lagos, Abuja, PH. Expanded my fleet during Jonathan's era because profit was good. Recession has made it difficult making profit but still hanging on. Can actually train my kids in the West from proceeds I make from Nigeria. Can drive Range Rover, Toyota High Lander, Chrysler 300, Sienna paid cash in Nigeria and not mortgage as we so in the western world. I can buy land and build easily with profit from a business in Nigeria. You have to network and work hard. I finally caught up with my friends who stayed back in Nigeria after we left school while I wet overseas. While I was in abroad, they were doing better financially and visited me and I cursed myself for ever migrating. But with determination, I left the circle of work, eat, watch TV, sleep, came down to Nigeria and improved financially, happier, livelier, more comfortable. When things became better, went back and gave out most valuables I had. I can not see myself going back to live permanently overseas again. My very closed relatives who migrated to US in the 70s and with several degrees do not have the cash I have since I came to hustle in Nigeria. Dangote could be the richest African because he is based in Nigeria. He would not have been if he migrated to US or Europe. There is opportunity in Nigeria, but leave your options open to go back if it does not work well in Nigeria. Target a business where you will have 180m Nigerians patronising you. The population is a huge market. Agriculture/farming is lucrative. Eatery or Supermarket can be lucrative too. I know a girl friend who left the US to Nigeria and went into fish farming about the year 1999. By when I came in 2012, she was making a lot of money from it and regretted not coming back from US much earlier. There is nothing like home where opportunities are many, but prepare your mind to deal with security issues, rowdiness, unruly traffic and drivers, bad road, corrupt police, power failure. Your determination to succeed will see you through in Nigeria.

it is fun living in Nigeria.

Please Sir, can I have your email address. I need personal advise from you. Please assist me with your knowledge, many many thanks.

alexialin:
Lol ,he's a joker.

Don't mind him, he thinks Nigeria is a child's play.

And you are right, other peeps who thinks like him, should also understand the reality here.

It's crazy.

One must be as wise as a fox and mild like a dove, to be able to survive here.

My neighbor came from US, to relocate back to nija. Initially it was fun for him, until he couldn't take it anymore. Most times when I walk down the street heading back home, I sight him smoking his lungs out like a chimney, with whisky in one hand. Every blessed day

One day I heared him talking to another neighbor as he was smoking that he's tired of this gaddamed country and he's running broke, he wants to sell his building and get the fucvk out of here. He can't take it anymore and how much will my 2nd neighbor buy his building of four flats, spacious o.
At the end, I heard he sold the four blocks of flat for N15million inside illupeju.

I was like WTF!

The guy received his alert, called all the tenants in the other flats that he had sold everything and hes getting out of here. He can't take it anymore. Lol
That's how he left. He even dashed his furnitures, TV and all, to the buyer.
And left.
The new landlord, gave everyone quit notice and the end.. He's not back till date.
Nija is fucvked up.

Another one came. From UK, he built a massive house in ikorodu. He like bragging he has money and he loves spending on his friends, that's how thieves came one faithful day he came back from abroad trips. Cause he loves travelling to and fro every 3months.

So a close family friend gave a tip off to thieves, the day he arrived nija as usual.

Come and see beating, and later took his 10000pounds ,they ran away and left him bloodied. My dear, when he reported the case to police. Police caught one of the thieves. That one then confessed it was his family friend wife! A high profile family in the society !

He was so disappointed. He couldn't get his money back. They shared it amongst themselves and the other thieves yet to be caught.
Police advised him to let go of the matter Orelse if he pursue the case and place the wife of his friend in jail with the thief they caught, his life will be in extreme danger. He won't even live to judge the case in court.

That's how he left Nigeria angrily and sever ties with people here. Vowing never tk come back.

It's that bad!

See story!

You will end up in Libya if care is not taken.

Alcatraz005:
Don’t mind him. He must be suffering in Nigeria too but he wants company. I know people like him. If you are not a politician or a successful yahoo boy, you cannot enjoy Nigeria!

With this mindset you are already dead in Nigeria.

Billyonaire:
I am not a Nigerian. I have no nationality. I come from the Stars. So be poor, it is your destiny, not mine.

Of course you are from the stars, delusion of great grandeur. Your international passport says you are what? Take it from me, even if you are are a real life dollar Billionaire, you are NOTHING. Just another poor, underdeveloped, backward, primitive Nigerian. We don't have common electricity in our country and many are shouting billionaire up-and-down.

imhotep:
I repeat :
Igbo people left Lagos for you in 1966.
Guess who hustled to bring Igbo people back to Lagos ?

Are you a man or a woman?. If the latter please let us meet. I am beginning to love una.

imhotep:
Igbo phobia is bad for your blood pressure

Do you all have to live in Lagos? Na una papa land? Give us some breathing space and ffk back to Onutcha.
