My brother you don't know nothing. You are industrially comparing Lagos and warri with a City like oran in Algeria or tunis in tunisia that mainly consume items made locally? Mind you , I have been to some of these countries. Your Lagos is a glorified slum. Dem say pikin wey never comot house before go say na him papa farm na big pass.

I would have agreed with you if not that Lagos hosts the world's largest single train oil refinery.

but do we see Indians have 100k capacity shrine, do we see saudi radicalize there religion more like allowing jihadist to fight for Allah in there country to get converts,nobody is talking about idols or number of carve image but why should we as citizens have dependency on religion, am a Christian too but spiritual, I understand all this countries listed above don't have high concentration of religious believers rather like minds that love innovation that's why even individuals sees potential in there countries to invest, though some industries are owned by Government,but here our potential nd focus is building big churches to loot the gullible

recently an Indian man was overwhelmed by his religious belief that he sentenced himself to a life time of standing, as a devotion to his god. Meaning he would never sit,not lie down. He carries out activities of daily living including sleeping, on his feet. Others would leave in a cave for the rest of their lives, some would never bath or cut their hair through out their lifetime, same can be found in other asian countries. Now does that make the society less productive, or are they not developing..
Do your research and find other excuses that could at least, appeal to common sense.

dependecy in term of innovation, as if you turn blind see your G.O using prayers to solve ailment that needs medication, do such happens in India or you just want to input to feel relevant,Nigeria problem is not even political class but religion, when you read about what we call mental poisoning, well i dont need to link u up with that cos you not a Philosophical student or rosicruz,if u have come across it,you will understand that is easy to conquer man's sub conscious ,with doctrin religion dogmas and that's y the white succeed in west africa mostly Nigeria nd Ghana,so let stop all this rubbish, a man build a church capacity of 100k the another cl0wn is busy competing it with 120k, as religious Saudi is the are embracing entertainment which in football industry,did u heard the build 100k mosque capacity rather stadiums,and how many Chinese shrine or Indian shrine has such capacity, now y waste such fund on that that impacting life and innovating,research and others, oga I no wan drag matters with you cos you demote my intellectual with such reasoning

Actually, your post is demoting if one should try to understand it.
I'm a Christian but not in any way stupid, and yes I give well to churches. Again go and research on how many idols/gods Indians worship.
Separate religion from the development of any country. It has nothing to do with it. Only a fool would believe that, and you, my friend are not a fool.🙏

emperor4love:
as the are religious is there over dependency and reluctance on it,Mr A.I not even smart

what do you mean by dependency? can a nation be more religious than, the middle and far east, yet they are developing rapidly.
Go again and find what the problem of Nigeria is,
If you think it's religion,
I repeat, you're not very smart..

Or can you be more religious than the Jews who are great scientists/nventors and business men.

emperor4love:
the most smartest man on earth and how many Buddha nd Hindu centre do you know in those countries , that the do religion as we do not depending on it for every possible development,can you compare religious centre to see and industry in those countries, abeg go sit down

ok let's assume you're smart, now try and do some research, also ask some of your friends in asian countries, how religion is in Asia.

emperor4love:
What is that you don't believe or Nigeria should top them, how? how many religious centre are there in such countries, now compare it and know, people are innovating Nigeria are still using religion to even solve mere medical issues

sorry to say this, you're not smart at all..
If you think religion is still your problem, go to India and china, where Buddhism and Hinduism is a national religion.
Indians have more shrines in ever street than there are churches and mosques combined in Nigeria.

When i tell Nigerians that Nigeria is the worst country in Africa they think I'm exaggerating.

Keep voting in people who have no plans. People who are not even confident enough to take questions from the media or attend a debate simply because they have nothing upstairs to offer.

Other countries vote ideas, Nigeria has continued voting tribe.

Keep going

If I vote you, would you perform better than any of the president we have had.

Are we sure you haven't bribed your way in one way or the other.
Are we sure you don't tell lies
Are we sure you won't put all your relatives in key positions if elected.

Any Nigerian who would say No to that, probably did not grow up within the country or was raised by good parents.

Our society has produced the same crop of leaders,which tells us there something fundamentally wrong with the mindset of an average Nigerian.

Until the change comes from us, we have no moral justification to judge our leaders.

PM me for a professional Resume/Cover page for your Cv.

Hello Mayorall and everyone on Nairaland,
I’m God'spower by name, a registered nurse and also work as a CV/resume writer, helping people present themselves better for job opportunities. Recently, I’ve been developing a strong interest in Nursing Informatics because I want to combine healthcare with technology and build a more sustainable career path for myself.
Getting this laptop would mean a lot to me at this stage. I plan to use it for online trainings, nursing research, health-tech learning, remote work, and improving my resume writing services. Most of the things I currently do are limited because I don’t have a personal laptop strong enough for consistent learning and work.
Beyond personal growth, I also hope to use the knowledge and skills I gain to support other healthcare professionals and job seekers around me. I genuinely see this as an opportunity that can help me move from where I am now to a much better place professionally.
Thank you for giving people like us this opportunity, and for contributing positively to the community.

The reality is simple. It is no longer just about what you studied, but about the value you can offer and how well you position yourself.
Nigeria’s job market is tough and increasingly competitive. Every year, thousands of graduates enter the workforce, but there are simply not enough jobs to match this growing number. Companies are hiring less, yet expecting more skills, more experience, and greater adaptability, even for entry level roles.
Many qualified young Nigerians are underemployed or working in jobs far below their potential. A major issue is the gap between education and real world demands. Employers now value practical and digital skills more than just academic certificates. At the same time, networking plays a strong role, and opportunities often go to those with connections, making it harder for others to break through.
Despite these challenges, getting a job in Nigeria is still possible, but it requires a smarter and more strategic approach.
To improve your chances, focus on building relevant skills, especially digital and problem solving abilities. Make yourself visible by connecting with professionals and staying active both online and offline. Be flexible enough to take internships or short term roles to gain experience. Also, explore remote jobs and freelance opportunities, which are becoming more accessible.

Like was said earlier,
The reality is simple. It is no longer just about what you studied, but about the value you can offer and how well you position yourself.
The market may be difficult, but those who adapt, stay consistent, and keep improving will always find a way forward.

I am writing this for someone who is quietly struggling like I once did.
There was a time in my life when every morning started with hope and every night ended in disappointment.
After graduating, I believed life would finally move forward. I thought getting a job was just a matter of time. I was wrong.
Weeks turned into months.
I kept applying. Again and again. I lost count after a while. I spent money I did not really have just to stay online and submit applications. Each time my phone beeped, my heart would race. Maybe this is the one.
But most times, it was nothing.
No reply. No feedback. Just silence.
Sometimes, I would get those cold messages We regret to inform you
Those words can break you slowly if you are not careful.
There was a particular day I will never forget. I attended an interview with so much hope. I used my last money for transport. I walked in with confidence, answered questions with everything I had, and left believing I had a real chance.
Days later, I found out I was not selected.
That day, something in me almost gave up.
I started questioning everything about myself Maybe I am not good enough Maybe I am not smart enough Maybe this country is not for people like me
It is a terrible place to be mentally.
But deep down, I knew one thing. If I gave up, that would be the real failure.
So I made a quiet decision. No announcement. No noise. Just a decision within myself that I would keep going, even if it hurt.
I stopped just applying randomly and started working on myself.
I improved my CV. I learned new skills. I practiced interview questions until I could answer with confidence. I asked for help even when it was uncomfortable. I forced myself to grow.
It was not easy. There were days I felt tired, empty, and discouraged. Days I questioned if any of it even mattered. But I kept showing up for myself.
Then one day, I got a call.
It felt like every other call at first. I did not even want to get my hopes up. But it was different. I was invited for an interview.
This time, I prepared like everything depended on it.
When I walked into that interview, I was not the same person who had been rejected over and over again. I was stronger. I was sharper. I was ready.
Days later, I received the message that changed everything.
Congratulations, you have been selected
I just stared at my phone.
For a moment, everything was quiet. All the stress, the pain, the waiting, the silent tears it all came rushing back at once.
And in that moment, it finally made sense.
None of it was wasted.
Today, I am working. It may not be my final destination, but it is proof that persistence works. It is proof that things can change.
If you are reading this and you feel stuck, please hear this
Your effort is not useless
Your time is not wasted
Your story is not over
Rejection can be painful, but it is not the end.
Keep going, even when it is hard. Keep improving, even when nobody is watching. Keep believing, even when it feels pointless.
One day, your own Congratulations message will come.
And when it does, it will mean more than you can ever imagine.

Cnn and BBC no reach una level

With the level of propaganda going on here,
I won't be surprised if this forum was the Nigerian news outlet Donald trump was referring to.

Judiciary contributes to the complexity of the issues in this country
