PetroDolla3: ! Idiotic bastardz! What you people deserve is an extermination camp-just like what the Nazists did to the Jews. We need another holocaust to get rid of these unrepented pests who have brought nothing but shame and misery to Africa and the rest of the world. Election riggers, mass murderers,419ers,child rapists-VVFs.. The piece of shit called Nigeria is destined for the dustbin. Period! Hehehehe!

Hahahahahaha no wonder senator chukwumerije described these apes and f00ls as educated illiterates! grin
Hahahah no wonder Soyinka described your sh1thole as the open sore of Africa.

Nigeria is the centre for pirate attacks, kidnap capital of the world, as well as the top nation for terrorist attacks.

Boko Haram in the north, kidnapping in the southeast, oil bunkering in the south south, armed robberies in the southwest!

see disgrace. Men fighting over coke, Chei, naijaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

hahahah what level of pocerty can possibly drive a father into selling his 6-month old son just to obtain a visa so he can flee the hellhole? grin grin [url] https://www.nairaland.com/1252740/father-sells-6-month-old-son-visa[/url] grin

Politicians are aware Nigerians are lazy and unintelligent – Oluwatosin Adesanya grin
By Oluwatosin Adesanya on July 3, 2014@todayngr

If you are Nigerian and you feel a need to prove you are not stupid because you just read that headline, then you are worse than stupid. grin

Asides a person who is professionally involved in politics, one definition of the word Politician that is worthy of note is: “A person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement within an organization.”

You can scratch off the last few words and replace with: “…typically to gain voters confidence at lightening speed via whatever means necessary.”

I have asked many eligible voters, why do you go ahead to vote if you can’t vouch for the person you are electing? Why do you trust a total stranger with four or eight years of your life without asking questions? Why do you sit and watch your tax not do what it is meant to do? Have you asked questions of your own? Have you gotten satisfactory answers? Do you desire more proof?

Yes, Faith is being hopeful and convinced that practical optimism will yield good results but how do you keep trusting that a pig won’t play dirty?

Nowadays, Nigerian Politicians don’t hide their dirty hands anymore. They approach the table like it’s a eat or die affair. These same set of politicians loop the same trick over and over again while we just sit and watch the years roll by. They fart in our faces because we are blind and deaf to their folly. But yeye dey smell!

The year 2015 is fast approaching and most of us are looking to vote for the ‘less corrupt’ because we don’t honestly know who or what party to vote for. Instead of convincing citizens with deeds, our politicians have resorted to idle barter of words.

When you sieve out the bomb blasts headlines and of course the characteristic blunder the Nigerian media has to offer, what do you get? Women with male organs who earn fat salaries, trading blames and allegations.

Can a Tinubu convince me without reminding me Jonathan is responsible for my flat tire? Can a Jonathan just prove I can trust him to not meddle in partisan politics? Can Obanikoro be impartial and do his job? Can the DHQ secure the release of our girls rather than release bland press statements every now and then? Will Jega ensure the people decide?

Which way Nigerians? Is there Diazepam in your stew?

Is history not enough? Methinks facts and reality are all the slaps we need as Nigerians. But it is beginning to look like we need something smarter and more devious than Boko Haram to shake us out of prolonged slumber.

Perhaps we are waiting for when ‘Who killed Ken Saro Wiwa‘ will become a question on ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire‘?

Politician A calls Politician B a Goat, Politician B fires back. Politician Z wey nothing concern insults Politician B then Politician C helps out Politician B by blaming Politician A for what Politician D did years ago. It is now like watching badminton. Nigerian politics has become a confusing scheme of nonsense for politicians who in a bid to stay relevant, utter foolishness because they know Nigerians are brain-dead and only play the dutiful audience. grin grin grin

The reality on ground....

80% of Accra residents live in slums – Farouk Braimah

The chief executive officer of the People’s Dialogue on Human Settlement has said 80% of Accra’s residents live in slums.

“There are basically two definitions we can ascribe to a slum. We identified five key areas; the one that talks about improved sanitation, the one that talks about clean water, the physical condition of the house, tenure security and overcrowding,” he said.

Speaking on Our Cities, Farouk Braimah said his outfit worked with the UN and Ministry Of Local Government to find a localized definition of slums and they discovered that some slums had grown, matured and nothing could be done about them except for regeneration.

“There are different categories of slums. We have one that has grown and matured and there is nothing we can do about it unless you wipe them out or do some regeneration; and we have the smaller slums which are more transient and we can deal with them by getting the people out of the area,” he stated.

Mr. Braimah further stated, “If you have a settlement that provides toilet facilities for a hundred people and the population increases to five hundred and you don’t expand the network of toilet facilities, there is definitely going to [be] an over-stretched pressure on this facility.”

“Over a long period of time, we have not had a significant improvement in housing… The houses are not there; the infrastructure is not expanding and more people are moving in so definitely, we’ll have a rundown tournament,” he added.






You're still rambling about 419, huh? dullard! cheesy cheesy cheesy



gayna overtakes Nigeria as 419 capital of the world grin grin grin grin



The staff at CNN.com has been intrigued by the journalism of Vice, an independent media company and Web site based in Brooklyn, New York. Motherboard.tv is Vice's site devoted to the overlap between culture and technology. The reports, which are being produced solely by Vice, reflect a very transparent approach to journalism, where viewers are taken along on every step of the reporting process. We believe this unique approach is worthy of sharing with our CNN.com readers.

Brooklyn, New York (Motherboard.tv) -- Ghana is doing extremely well by African standards. Of course "by African standards" means there are dirt roads leading past the brand-new, gold-columned presidential palace, and it seems 1 percent of the country is blowing their country's GDP at bars with $50 cover charges while the other 99 is selling bags of water at stop lights. They have huge mineral reserves and lots of foreign money invested in their extraction, all of which ends up concentrated in the hands of the president, his cabinet, and whichever of their cousins they're getting along with at the time.

The Ghanaian government likes to boast that their unemployment rate is in the single digits and they're creating millions of new jobs a year specifically targeting the youth bulge, but when you pull up a pile of rubble and sit down with a member of said bulge, the story seems a lot less cheery. The actual unemployment rate for 15- to 24-year-olds hovers between 25 and 30 percent and unless you're a relative or close friend of someone in the ruling class, you can look forward to a long and fruitful career in water sales.

But Ghana also has a reasonably sophisticated technology infrastructure and has declared itself the "Internet Capital of West Africa," which is kind of archly tragic because right now the internet is the only thing keeping the kids at bay.

During Nigeria's oil boom in the 70s, Ghanaians flooded into the country to take guest worker jobs. Within 10 years they'd worn out their welcome and were deported en mass back to Ghana, but not before they'd picked up a popular local pastime: the Nigerian "pen pal scam." The way it works is you become pen pals with some dolt in America or Britain, bitch about how hard your life is in Africa, then wait for them to send you money and presents.

See the rest of The Sakawa Boys at Motherboard.tv

As computers made their way into the continent, the scam was adapted to e-mail and gradually evolved into the rainbow of weird phishing messages from state treasurers and estate managers and plane-crash lawyers that crowd your inbox every morning. And as scammers got hungrier for bigger pickins, they hooked up with hacker-types from the U.S. and Europe who taught them basic credit card fraud, which they combined with the playacting of the e-mail scam to create increasingly elaborate -- and profitable -- superscams. Then for some reason they combined all of this with black magic, and that's how Sakawa was born.

In the same way that hip-hop went from a music style into a descriptor for everything from pants to dancing to potato chips, Sakawa (which originally referred to a specific credit card scam) now means pretty much anything involving money -- if you wear a bunch of flashy brand-name clothes you're dressing "Sakawa," if you've got a nice car it's a "Sakawa" car -- all of which makes sense considering internet scamming is the only way most Ghanaians can afford this.

Right now Sakawa is in its salad days. The Sakawa Boys movie franchise has made it up to "Sakawa Boys 8," Juju priests are making a killing enchanting e-mails, Christian preachers are making a killing complaining about enchanted e-mails, and Ghanaians of all ages and interests (but mostly "young" and "not being poor"wink are packed into internet cafes finding more and more ingenious ways of ripping off Westerners.

While a lot of Sakawa practitioners have cooked up elaborate post-colonial justifications where they're just getting the white man back for taking all their gold, a few, like our guide Seva, see Sakawa for what it really is: a massive bubble just waiting to burst. As Ghana overtakes freaking Nigeria as the e-fraud capital of the world, the government is scrambling to find a way to keep Sakawa from wrecking the country's business reputation without cutting off an entire young generation from their sole source of steady revenue. And just to make things more interesting, Ghana just discovered oil.
