Where in the UK are the Nigerian prostitutes please George? Facts or 'themsay'?

Wow!! I have found most of your statements to be inaccurate, generic and frankly not credible.

Most of the accidents I have seen and those I have heard of are caused mostly by reckless driving - not so much the bad roads. Until we Nigerians use faculty to disect our problems rather than pent up emotions, accrued frustration, over generalisation (via poverty, corruption, bad government etc) and pre-judgement we would never begin to identify our problems. We have to many bad people in Nigeria and that includes you and me.

Kai!!! it must be hard going living in a poor country like Nigeria. Coping with all that poverty induced mentality. Why do most Nigerian girls upon seeing, meeting or just running into a man they know on the street, they suddenly get hungry?

Did I once hear someone say "dont date poor girls"

Goodluck

georgecso,

None of the countries you mentioned has uninterrupted power supply!!!

Our expectations are truly flabagasting!!  I dont envy the leaders of Nigeria - they are damned if they do and damned if they dont. Nigeria will still be a poor country even if we have zero - corruption. Why? Our industrial output is zero, our GDP per head is shameful, with the exception of god-given oil we have not created anything that the world wants to buy, we have only one or two world class enterpreneurs, we dont have any brand of product or offering that the world can identify with Nigeria, we are at the moment nothing but 10s of millions of lazy, complaining, government-blaming, superstitious, non-tax paying, pastor-imam-pope worshiping 'waiting for jesus' MORONS. Look at the way the vast majority of our people live? Waiting for the government to come and clean their toilets, sweep their dirty compounds, stop them from sleeping with their reproductively irresponsible females - making babies they have not the faintest idea how to bring up and jacking up world poverty and misery in  the process. YES you!!! I am talking to each one of you!!!  And i am one of you - a full blooded proud Nigerian but lets call a spade a spade (meaning tell each other the truth). Our government just dont make the kind of money necessary to support our lofty and incredulous expectations. We are yet to work our way out of poverty. That is what it will take - hard graft for a very very long time.

I wouldnt go near a gasoline pipeline with other 'brain dead' zombies thinking I am about to make a fast buck.

Reading through these responses sadly reinforces one thing, that poverty has infact impaired our judgement to dangerous levels. That in my view is one of the reasons we are plagued with so much social and societal problems. Cant we just for once see reason and put blame squarely where it belongs? GOD himself is so pissed off with our ways that he has more or less abandoned us to our fate.

The government of Nigeria, in my view, has done everything humanly possible to sensitise our people to the dangers of this repeated event. In the last few years alone, the government has embarked upon a highly visible campaign to highlight and inform its people about this danger. They have used every possible medium - radio, TV, newspapers, billboards, signboards, warnings in all our local languages and dialets, demolition of illegal structures etc etc etc. I live at Ejigbo, an area known for its network of NNPC pipelines and depots. I have seen first hand what the government has done to ensure that its citizens avoid these kinds of needless deaths. What else do people expect the government to do? Employ security on every stretch of the pipeline network? Where else in the world have you heard of people dying repeatedly in this manner?

Those who died have only themselves to blame and in fact its nature's way of removing senseless, idiotic and irresponsible individuals from the midst of society.

And this nonsense shout about POVERTY - Well let me tell you 'knuckle- heads' NO government in this world has ever taken its people out of poverty - that is the job and responsibility of its people. The government only creates an enabling environment and support for its citizens to use their positively creative minds to conquer the commercial world by creating products people want to buy and watch the goodies (dollars) coming home. WE THE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE AND THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO GOVERN.

pres-elect. Haba!!

What happened here cannot be blamed on poverty but greed and stupidity. I live in Ejigbo and we are surrounded by pipelines and the government have launched vigorous campaign over the last few years talking about the dangers of this very incident and that people should refrain from this dangerous act. In my view the government has really done its jobs. The campaign used all mediums in all our local languages, radio, bulletins, signboards - name it.

I grew up in the extreme poverty of Nigeria but I can categorically tell you this - POVERTY IS A CHOICE. But people make that choice over time. I have accomplished some of the things I set out to achieve.

Those poor adults you refer to chose to be poor - they often dont know it but if you analyse their lives thoroughly you will see the path they have taken enroute to poverty. The people who died on this and other occasions are nothing  but idiots and we should have no sympathy for them. 

You can eat and prosper anywhere in this world. It depends solely on the individual. We have a ready made universal excuse - Bad government!!!!
Give me a break!!!

huxley:
hello guys,

I shall respond fully, when I get some time later today, cus am just finishing off my lunch break now at work.  In the meantime, why don't you go deal with my threads about:

1)  Jesus's claim that he will come in his listeners lifetime

2) Why he advised his followers to physically maim themselves

3)  Why he advise his followers to NOT defend themselves against aggressors

4)  Why the two versions of the 10 commandments are discrepant

5)  The there are two narratives of the Noah Flood event massarading as one

6)  Why the narrative of the birht of Jesus are conflicting

7)  Why the narrative of his trial/conviction and execution and resurrection/ ascension are conflicting

8.)  Why the god of the bible is so vengeful and bloodthirty, killing millions of innocent children

9)  Why the main thrust of the religious narrative conflict of what we are now finding out about reality from science.

10) Why the religious does not seem to have any over "advantage" over the non-religious although god promised rewards here on earth for his followers?


I have raised plenty of threads which have remained largely unaddress by you guys.  We have plenty of time to go back to these and discuss them if you want.


See you soon and sharpen your minds.

Please guys - I cant wait to see answers to these questions.

I have had been self- inquiring about some of the above for far too long.

This is your chance my holier-than-thou brothers/sisters.

Bless

My guy

noting is hard , agree, but Akintola williams questions are taugh


hardware 4 betterment

Yes, and this is the very fact why so many people dont get through.

"noting" is hard, agree, but Akintola "w"illiams questions are "taugh"

You might just get through if you wrote;

Nothing is hard, agreed. But Akintola Williams' questions are tough.

Goodluck

Jakumo!! Well said. I couldnt have put it better. Just makes you feel so sorry for our people. Waiting for Jesus Only in Nigeria and Africa. I dont hear that phrase anywhere else in the world.

Condemn not , let this guy have his say!!!

For me, the bible didnt drop from heaven , it was certainly put together by us devious men

Mr Satan - give us more fundamentals and the very core of your new found religion.

The truth is already catching up with us, every day of our miserable lives.

Ignorant sufferheads who yap about being BLESSED

Mr Satan , please

God is definitely not an African - even if he exist.

Travel around the world and you would see why I have said this. Mention the name Jesus anywhere other than Africa and people would say "pardon?" The African mind has been badly infected and has become lazy, uncreative, beggarly and wretched. for the best part of the last 4 centuries our minds have gone to sleep, redundant, unquestioning, unintelligent. We receive folk stories as the truth.

Good for you Agagu. Many know and accept what you are saying is vastly true , but as usual we are all waiting for the "messiah" to come and wish all our continental african problems away.
If we dont get rid of this dangerous mentality in a few 100 years time - black African people will only exist in story books.

Let me hear more Agagu.

Depends on the capital at your disposal, your income level and whether you are buying jointly with a partner or are married with children. If you can buy outright abroad, do so as that is where you spend most of your time and thats where your family (your wife and children) are resident. If you have to mortgage on a low deposit and facing 30 year repayment period - do so knowing the house may never be yours. And remember the longer the time horizon the greater the risk of so many unwanted/unplanned events taking place, which could jeopardise the ultimate ownership of the house e.g  loss of income/job, business failure, illness,divorce, seperation, the list is endless.
Buy or build a house in Nigeria (yours for life from day one!) at a very good location with good rental yield and let the house generate some income. That Naira income can be put to another income generating activity. You can then launch your diasporan income at the relentless diaporian mortgage.
This requires careful thinking. If you intend to build a 'show-off' house which you will lock up, without income generating capacity of any sort then you might as well go for the mortgage now and go for a repayment period much lower than 30 years say 15 - 20 years if affordable. There are just too many factors and variables to consider. A house is a house but a mortgaged house is not yours until the corresponding debts are discharged. Goodluck!!

god bless Gani, god bless Fela and God bless Ribadu. But exactly when are the nigerian suffering masses going to stand up and fight for their rights? When exactly? As usual we are waiting for a messiah to come and do that which we can do for ourselves. If you ask me the Nigerian people deserve their plight. As they say you earn your place in life. The quietness, the silence and acceptance by the Nigerian people is what you call duplicity in crime. The Nigerian people are just as responsible for their own nightmare as those looters. For a long time we say damn the oppressors but I think its time to say damn the oppressed - for if an oppressed man confronts his situation with silence and acceptance he is absolutely complicit and a willing partner in the crime against him. Our people are still waiting for Jesus, Allah, oyinbo, NGO, the UN, the brother and sister abroad, ifa, orunmila and so on. A serious, sustained revolt by the people will alter our situation almost instantly. God Bless Gani and others but I dont know about the Nigerian people.
