₦airaland Forum

When I read comments on topics like this I just wonder where Nigeria is going. I am not here to like or dislike any comment. I just want to make general comment. First let me appeal to who ever it may concern to pick the message and not the grammar or spelling checks.
The level of corruption and the way public fund is wasted in Nigeria is more than alarming. The most painful thing is somebody will stand up in defense because of ethnicity, friendship, religion or political affiliation. As the literacy level in Nigeria is increasing, one would have thought that more people will see things objectively. For a country to move forward, we have say what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong not minding our affiliation because that is the truth.
What most of us do not understand is we are been cheated, birth right as Nigerian taken away by this waste. Our children future mortgaged, education destroyed, our women and children deprived of good medical care, graduates have no jobs, etc. How can a country that cannot provide 24hr power spend that much on cars. I do not think the car for the American president is as expensive as that. A senator in Nigeria earns more that president Obama. Yet is it American that we rush to for greener pasture. How many senators do we have? South Africa generate about 36,00mw of power but we are struggling between 2 to 3,000mw (not sure of the current value). Like somebody said earlier, may be other ministries are doing the same. How much is all that at the end of the year yet we are taking loans.
Can somebody tell me any good and reason why Lagos Ibadan road has not been fix. People are dying every day. All most Everything imported through the sea and used to build Abuja came through that road. Major national commercial activities and material and goods movement goes through that road and whoever the president has been did not deem it fit to fix that and other roads. The minister of aviation was quick to declare the plane crash as art of God. preliminary investigation from black box say there was warning signs from the computer on board. The pilots had arguments on the faulty flap warning whether to fly or not.
Somebody is increasing tariff on the used cars, can somebody tell me any car manufacturing company in operation or that is being constructed. Price of car goes up, spare parts goes up. you are saving 550bn for 700,000 jobs. what a good economic decision. car will still come, other countries will benefit, masses will suffer. What about dropping tariff for car manufacturing equipment, build the cars at good prices. Who will not like a new car.
The thing is, we have a government that do not care about the people but them self. If we do what is right in policies, budgeting and implementation, may be we will not get to the this security situation that will call for bullet proof cars. Where are the bullet proof cars for me and you. Are we not humans or do bullet don't kill us.
The cost of living is increasing, government tax is increasing and the money get wasted. In countries where there is some level of accountability the money is used to provide for the people.
We might not correct Nigeria problem from this forum but let us at every opportunity call a spade a spade. We will quieting be building a better Nigeria I hope.

Thanks. Someone mentioned something about the airmatic but he was saying it like it was a one-off thing with the one he knows.

Ok. Thanks for the advice.

Please I need technical advise from the gurus in the forum on the reliability of these SUVs and their maintainability all over Nigeria. The SUVs, if bought may rarely be used in Lagos. They will be travelling across the country. Please straight to the point advise. Thanks

This a complicated issue. It require the understanding of both of you to pull through. It might not do you good if you see him as bad and wicked. You may never be able to love him again. Try to find the root cause. He may also be thinking you are wicked. Some people say " ha because of sex. Is life all about sex bla bla ........". Truth is sex cause more problems in our relationship than we admit.
The women are not doing a good job in carrying us along in their emotional journey during their child raising stage. Most men don't understand why my sizzling babe will be avoiding me. Women react to pregnancy differently. Some carry on as if nothing is wrong while for some they become ill till they deliver. The husband has to understand his wife and respect her that way. She did not choose to be that way. I have been through this. I also cheated then. I know better now. The man might not understand the sudden loss of interest.please talk to your man. Tell him how you feel. We talked and we settled.
Please forgive him. Both of you should have heart to heart talk. If he loves you, he should understand and control his drive for the sake of the family. Though finance is important but please play down on who earns more or less at this time. Remember no marraiage is without hitches.

@OP... First of all, you did not give out your story straight. You made people guessing through different angles. You might not get the right feedback or responds. Secondly, you said you did not come for advice but that you had already made up your mind. My advice/comment will be hold on for a while.
Let me start by saying that you might not be the first with this issue. I think they all did not separate because of the issue. There is no marriage with out issues. Even though no marriage is same. Am not going to sweet talk you into keeping your marriage but i will just share somethings with you and the rest is yours. There are different types of women out there and they change par situations.
Let me give a little bit of my self. Been married for 13yrs. I will say I married the best woman on earth. I thought I understood her. It started first with my family. I will agree their reception of my wife was not the best. I stayed on the side of my wife giving her all the assurance. over time, she developed this idea that she is hated and even added me to it. It became difficult agreeing on anything even as simple as putting on the fan or not. I was shocked. I tried to douse the tension to no avail. even when we agree to hold on babies, she decided to have it without further discussion. My kind of job that kept me out of home most of the time did not help matters. I even started to think why did I marry this woman. There was a time i even left the home.
We sat down and stated real communication.I realize we were just talking without communicating like somebody said. Start talking without blame, acting and showing her that I don't hate her. I realize that what she needed was double re-assurance. I made her know that we are partners and we need to share our thoughts, fears, doubts, and strength. We need to respect our weakness and don't use them as weapons against one another. Showing of all kind of love without real in-depth talking and sharing the moment does not hold much water for most women
I don't know the level of real communication with your wife. It is a very vital tool. please use it. You need to get somebody to get her family off her so she can concentrate on her marriage. They've had their time. They should leave you both to put the pieces together once again. see if you can get somebody elderly to talk to her parents. Unless they do not want the marriage to work and they do not care about their grand children.
I wish you good luck bro.

Circuitatlantic.com is your best bet brother. Have used them before and they are quite user friendly.

@ alj harem, apache77 and Eko ile - have done justice to this topic. Well done. I wonder why despite the abundant human resources that the world over claim Nigeria has, we still have cases like this.

I think it was good for a govt to have a dream and then source for funds to make it come true. But I think in Nigeria in most cases whether south east north or west we do not see initial planning, detailed feasibility studies and all round economies of the project as a key determining factor of the success.

I believe if knowledgeable people in these  areas are gathered as project teams for this projects, Tinapa and so many other project scattered all over the nation will not be failures.

Nigeria need to locate businesses based on economies and not politics, involve the right people and just party members. Even my secondary school economics say factors that affect location are, nearness to raw materials, market, good roads, power and availability of labour etc. I no bi economist o!

I pray GOD to wake us up one day so that we will be able to do things right.

I think the question is a good one based on the happenings around us. Pls let us stop the insults and discuss the issues.

First of all, I agree that preaching the gospel now require funds. If you don't give, somebody else gave to move the work of GOD to the level we see. Then again like it has been said, the way and manner this money is being generated now leaves a lot to be questioned.
They key into verses of the Bible that are not fully explained, might not relate to the current event, coax and manipulate, threaten sometimes with the wrath of GOD because according to them you are holding GOD's money.
People are told that they are not blessed because they don't know how to give.
A man approach a man of GOD for prayers the next question is are you a financial member of the church. There are cases where you are made to pay money before you see a man of GOD.
My cousin wouldn't go to his pastors house because it is expected that you give a gift each time you go there.

With due respect to all genuine men of GOD here, a lot of things happen and Churches have designed different kind of doctrines. For the fact you don't do it does not mean others don't.
I personal think it is good to give according to how you are led to the work of GOD and humanity and not according one man say and one scripture didn't say.

Hello all, I got one this afternoon. wish you happy holiday

I am looking for a camera - Canon EOS 550/Rebel T2i. Any help on where and the price I can get. I want the original with the kit and not just body alone.

I read this thread with pain in my heart and tears in my eyes. At this stage and in this era, we are still battling with which tribe. It is a pity. Am not here to support anybody but to share some reasoning. Which tribe is Obama in US - minority or Majority. I know we are way way behind to start squaring shoulders with US. Shall we continue to wallow in ignorant while the world around us is leaving us behind at a very fast pace. Did we remember that when the north supported and packaged OBJ, he had challenges with acceptance by his own people. This very man and Chief Gani said he is not to be trusted. This was what lead Gani into registering a party.
Like somebody said, it is amazing that those who have access to information on-line that are supposed to be fronting for a better Nigeria through great leadership are still neck did in tribal, ethnic, religious and other myopic reasoning. It is a pity that even the younger generation do not care about what happens to this great nation of ours.
When I join Nairaland, I thought I had found a place where realistic ideas will be shared, knowledgable people with information will be discussing based on current happening round the world compared to where we are.
So much wrong has been done in this nation. Let us for once put all this discrimination aside and support the leader (no matter where he's from) that will move us forward. We are tired of NO POWER, NO GOOD ROADS, NO JOBS FOR THE TEAMING YOUTH, NO HEALTH FOR THE COMMON MAN, NO WATER FOR THE COMMON MAN, COLLAPSING EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE, CONSTANT INCREASE IN PRICE OF PETROL, JUMBO PACKAGED FOR LEGISLATOR BUT PEANUTS FOR WORKING MASSES. HIGH RATE OF CRIME AND ETC ETC ETC ETC
