My own concern is to retool our school system so that a graduate engineer can manipulate a CNC machine which can make things. If we have not take the hard way of strict physical planning and direct and indirect census, population control and skill based education, we will remain in trouble.
I beg to ask ,why are our government overpopulated?, Why is NASS budget bigger than a state budget,? why must interns from Germany and China supervise our major national projects?
Do we even compare our universities and governments' website to those like south Korea, Singapore etc.
DEVIL RESIDES IN THIS COUNTRY!

Devil? funny thing is across the world everyone has one or two grievances against there government.

otemanuduno:
So if I worship god Vishnu, how will I be able to escape the eternal punishment of god Yahweh, Mazda and Allah? Which of them should I worship if I decide to? And if I worship god Eshu, will god Chuku and god Abassi take it lightly with me? Well... I don't see any reason why a god like myself should worship another god. I have found GOD ALMIGHTY their creator inside of me and it stops the worship of any form of god. If God resides in me, why should I worship another god? I am a god.

simply put you dont believe there is heaven or hell.

Enlightening! But then, corruption remains a root and principal cause and sustainer of poverty in Nigeria... What would one expect when money meant for infrastructure (a factor critical to d standard of living of the people) is continuously looted into a few pockets? Take away corruption, and watch things improve, slowly, but certainly..

my point is, corruption is a part of democracy, imagine before you can be president, you need billions of naira for campaign, all those that contributed your campaign funds will want there money back plus interest. the only way around corruption is for there to be excess money in the economy.

otemanuduno:
But I am telling you that as soon as you stop being religious, you will be shocked at how you will fall in love with nature, fellow human beings, the universe and everything that some of the gods have told you not to love : remember, Yahweh told his people 'love not the world'... Allah told his people to kill unbelievers. But as soon as you come out of religion, you will love the world and the things that are in the world. You will do your best to preserve all the things in the world, including living things in it and you will not want to hurt fellow humans because they are GOD ALMIGHTY in another manifestation. You will see yourself hurting God if you hurt a fellow human.

Upon all the laws of religion, why hasn't it curb violence, destructions of lives etc. When we talk of violence, infidelity, etc. it is even the religious people that are leading in them.
You keep saying homosexuality is wrong as if it hurts anyone personally. How does homosexuality done by other people affect your own life? Things done that affects others negatively are the things you should term evil, not things others do for their own personal reasons. For example, the wearing of trouser by female was termed evil earlier, but now even you don't see anything wrong in it. If my sister wears trousers, how does it affect your own life? If I put tattoo all over my body, how does it cause you pain? But if I steal your money, abuse you, beat you, kill, fight etc. those are the evil things because it affects your own life and others. And those things should attract punishment by the judges of the world, not from a god of any religion.

so you believe in the doctrine "do wat thou wilt". you dont worship any God, you dont believe there will be a reward for those who worship God and punishment for those who dont after we die? we just become dust and thats the end of us?

funny enough i personally dont see anything wrong in homosexuality, but if religion condemns it, perhaps there is a higher wisdom i havnt seen yet.

Jabioro:
The revenue leakages are in excess, every hook and corners of ours government from head to the last least agency were established on this monster called corruption even to the one fighting it.. if you like increase the revenue in 100 folds.. in as much as the virus still in the system.. ..yimu!

have you ever heard of the term "owo ton yeye bukata" when there is enough money, the effect of corruption will be insignificant.

Lagos and Abuja Ke?

lagos and abuja is London compared to other parts na

Nigerians have for long erroneously assumed that their country is wealthy and that the only reason why the country is still regarded as a third world country is due to corruption and mismanagement of politicians. They assumed that with the vast oil fields in the Niger-Delta, and multitude of natural resources buried across the country, Nigeria shouldn’t be poor. However, the reality is different, corruption and mismanagement should be Nigeria’s ‘B’ problem.

Overview of Nigeria’s poverty

Nigeria is poor, stark poor. Outside Lagos and Abuja, the poverty rate in Nigeria is severe. According to a 2016 United Nations, UN, report on
Nigeria’s Common Country Analysis, CCA, about 64% of the country’s 175million population is poor. The poverty rate in some of the northern states is much worse with some states having as high as 80%.

The mathematical error

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period. Nigeria’s GDP is over $520billion. Government revenue is the amount of taxes, licensing fees, fines, etc that a government receives within a specific period of time. Government revenues plus external borrowings is what is used to finance the yearly budget. Nigeria’s revenue is #3.8trillion (about $12billion). A lot of Nigerian’s assume that the government earns $520billion a year.
$12billion is too small for a country with over180 million people. In practice, the country earns roughly the same amount The English Premier League earns in TV broadcast rights (£10billion). South Africa with a population less than 55million earns about $9billion a year while the United States earns over $216billion a year!

The way forward

The government has to find a way of drastically improving the revenue. Nigerians spends over $1billion dollars a year on foreign medical trips, which is not sustainable. Former British Prime Minister Margret Thatcher bought and installed cameras for the broadcast of English Premier League matches; today those broadcast rights are worth £10billion a year.

Fat payouts to government officials, corruption and mismanagement needs to be reduced. In all, the Nigerian government needs to find better and smarter way s of spending the little money it earns.

otemanuduno:
A very funny analysis. You are mentioning all the things I don't do as if you are so sure that I do them. You don't even know if I am a moralist or not. Maybe you don't know that we have moral people without the aid of religion. Have you heard of late Tai Solarin? He was a moralist to the core, yet he was an atheist. Now come to think of it, how many irreligious people have you heard having issues with all the things you mention above as sin? Since I was born till date, I have not heard that any irreligious person had sex scandal or money laundering; Tai Solarin, Wole Soyinka, Albert Einstein, Mark Zuckerberg, Seun Osewa etc but we have heard of countless religious pastors doing such. Once u go irreligious, you will be more moral

i dint say you are doing them, i mean if you want to do them there is nothing stopping you, i mean there is no divine code guiding your daily activities, right and wrong is determined by the will of majority. just like Wole Soyinka you mentioned, he believed that there should be nothing wrong with homosexuality despite it is an abomination in Africa. even the will of majority, the powerful majority wins.

otemanuduno:


You can only know a particular god through religion, but not God the Universe their maker. For example, through Judaism and Christianity, you can know yahweh god, the god of jealousy and violence. Through the religion called Islam, you can know Allah, the god of violence; through Zoroastrianism you can know Mazda, Hinduism will let you know god Vishnu, Ancient Egyptian religions will let you know god Ra. Ancient Mesopotamian religion will teach you the ways of gods Enki, Enlil and Anu who were once trinity. Traditional religions will let you know Olodumare, Abassi, Ogene, Nyame, Nzame and thousand others.
But science and spirituality will bring you to the knowledge of God their father, who isn't jealous because he has NO one competing with him in his own higher realm of power. He lives in you and me and all things. Look for God within you, not in the sky. God is us, manifesting himself in all ways possible.

smart way to keep your mind at peace while you violate atleast one of Ghandi's seven sins daily. you commit adultery and you'll be cool with it because technically there is nothing wrong between two adults having consenting sex. you drink alcohol and gamble, cos technically there is nothing wrong with it if you do it in minimum proportion. you commit the seven sins without even knowing cos whats wrong and right depends on common sense and the will of the majority. when you are in Nigeria, you say homosexuality is wrong, but when you go to the US, you'll see nothing wrong in it. you dont know God, its just your mind playing tricks on you.

The National Intelligence Agency (NIA) is claiming ownership of the $43,449,947, £27,800 and N23, 218,000 seized Wednesday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from Osborne Towers, a luxury residential complex in Ikoyi, Lagos, owned by Mr. Adamu Muazu, a former governor of Bauchi state and ex-National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The NIA is the government security agency tasked with overseeing foreign intelligence and counterintelligence operations in Nigeria.

THEWILL reports that a ranking government official with knowledge of the latest twist to the seizure confirmed that the NIA Director General, Ambassador Ayodele Oke, has been in touch with EFCC’s boss, Ibrahim Magu, to express his displeasure over the raid at the apartment used as one of NIA’s safe houses in Lagos for its clandestine operations.

The official said Magu, whose confirmation as substantive chairman of the agency has been frustrated by the DSS and the Senate, has been under pressure to show President Muhammadu Buhari the billions of naira he told the president during a meeting that the EFCC had recovered under his leadership.

“So he is on a reckless search for monies hence all these strings of raids and seizures within the last one week,” the source who asked not be identified said.

“I can authoritatively tell you that money belongs to the NIA. The DG has come forward to claim it and has informed my office of the development. He is furious with Magu for his agency’s recklessness and for compromising their operations,” the official told THEWILL.

Meanwhile, Justice Muslim Hassan of a Federal High Court in Lagos Thursday ordered the temporary forfeiture of the cash and ordered that the funds be temporarily forfeited to the Federal Government and adjourned till May 5, 2017, for anyone interested in the funds to show up before him to show cause why the money should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government.

Mrs. Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, a former Managing Director, Retail, at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), was previously linked to the haul found in an apartment on the 7th floor. She denied ownership of the cash in a statement by her attorney Thursday though admitted residing on the second floor.

Mrs. Nnamdi-Ogbue was invited to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja for questioning on Thursday.

The EFCC has however transported the cash to the vault of the Central Bank of Nigeria in Lagos Island.

otemanuduno:
I am not a Muslim, neither am I a Christian. I have known God to be someone else, rather than any of the gods you have ever heard of or read about. The gods in religious books are all children of OUR GOD. Neither Allah, Vishnu, Yahweh, Atum nor Mazda Enlil Enki or the combinations of all the thousands of gods can come close to the magnificence of God their father.

stop deceiving yourself,without religion there is no way you can know God or keep his rules, you'll just be breaking some rules and keeping some without definite knowledge

otemanuduno:
just joking, but factually, Yahweh isn't God ALMIGHTY. He is just one of the numerous products of God ALMIGHTY.

again wat are you saying? u muslim right?

otemanuduno:
No, Yahweh doesn't look like this at all. He is uglier and the bible said, jesus look like him. I won't take this.

what is this one saying?

bolinjkezzy:
Christians no go adopt this one oooo
D's one ugly....lol

the problem with African Christians, so you prefare a white Jesus?

so Jesus is actually black?

I have screen shots

funny guy

NeeKlaus:

Maybe you are thinking I am a novice, right? Your signature says it's YOURS. Even if Sëun wants to expand his forum(and I wonder why he will), he would create a replica of Näiraland and not that plagiarized stuff you put up there.


Well, no bad blood. Goodluck in your search for moderators.

i guess we see things defferently. you think its the script that makes nairaland unique, i think the script is useless its the content that matters. talk abt plagiarism, even seun wont be here in a sense cos nairaland depends on virtually other ppls content. no hard feelings just defferences in opinions.

gidimasters:


LOL... Curiosity? I dey pity those that will be happy to take the job ni...

you have attitude issues and that makes me interested in you. during most job adverts, do they announce the salary at first? isnt it after your application has been selected and you are selected for interview, isnt that when you get to negotiate renumeration. why do you think this will be different.

NeeKlaus:
Y'all keep on copying Nairaland's script. Make your stuff unique and it would sell to the market.


My 2cents tho.

you are seeing half the picture, nairaland is only focused on Nigerian topics and audience. Afriforum is targeting an African audience. and how do you know Seun himself did not create Afriforum. expanding the business kinda thing?

its based on commition, the amount of commition depends on the board you are interested in. does that answer your curiosity?

gidimasters:


Instructions? Or slavery... Nonsense... So an employee to be can't know his salary and you expect him to start working?


Well, I know people like you... I will prefer you to use the word VOLUNTEER cos you are not ready to pay 5 kobo

the story always ends the same way. they just never learn. mumugehs

serverconnect:
Your site looks like nairaland. Hope it is not Nairaland junior?
