We told them Tinubu was old and out of tune with positive developmental policies and lacked the energy needed to bring about positive change. They responded that what they needed was his Brains and not his body.😂. When he was delegating questions in Chatham House, we again reminded them that he doesn’t even have a brain to begin with but they said he’s a leader and good leaders delegate responsibilities.😂. Today, here we are

What a man….. and he’s busy attacking Peter Obi for Bola Tinubu. These people have no shame.

Don’t mind the coward.

Dazzay:
What is the correlation between what we are discussing and my comment you posted?

Not just Ogun. Osun, Oyo, Ekiti, Kwara and Ondo. Anytime I see a news of a missing person from these states, my mind assumes the worst. Shameless people with fraudsters as kings and Governors

TrackerSK:
Shut up if you don't have anything to say.My heart skip a beat at hearing ogun

Considering the state and region where she went missing…….:hmmmm. I don’t want to say what’s on my mind. Same region with fraudsters as Kings and governors.

Ogogoro FC….. stop drinking Kainkai it’s not good for you bro.

Disenfranchised:
tinubu will rather die than that to happen.

It’s very simple. Mandate INEC to publish a list of all voters that voted in every particular polling station and also make electronic transmission of votes mandatory.

Only the igb….could possibly birth a child with such compassion and empathy anywhere across Africa and Nigeria in particular. Not the others that have entrenched fraud and criminality into the fabrics of their culture and society to the extent it appears a major requirement to be a king or political leader in their society is evidence of past fraud dealings, especially credit cards fraud, BEC or investment fraud.

Akeem, eni kure …..

To me the money is even very low when you judge by the usefulness and importance of the Passport as well as compare the price of travel tickets, both plane and ship. Our passport is still relatively very cheap.

People have been paying a lot more than this through bribery to get Nigerian passports in recent past.

Clowns ….. Una no Dey tire?


Ghjkkjhggfdde. More characters needed urgently.

This one is news?😂😂😂… naira land is going to the wasteland faster than I imagined.

Front page items nowadays are Reno and Sowere 😂😂😂

I think he’s drawing your attention to how fraud culture in entrenched in your society in the South west that you have convicted criminals and frauds as your traditional rulers. The moral decadence in the Yoruba culture is on another level.
Tufiakwa.

aswani:
I am not sure I understand, if I never tell you where (and when) to post, why would you not offer me that same courtesy?

Will you stfu !!!. What’s fake or hate ?

WhizdomXX:
Stop the fake hate.

Wait till a Yoruba lady walks the same market with her Igbo husband and children. Then you will see how much and well they celebrate diversity over there 😂. Diversity ko, detergent ni.

Classic skullar. They’ll betray their country and kinds for validation of where they’ll always be considered outsiders and destroy where they’ll be considered insiders.

God punish the useless APC government and their doctored statistics. I went to Ikhare in Ondo state a few weeks ago and can tell you for a fact that Ondo state is the poverty capital of Southern Nigeria.

This is the only good policy of this Okpebolo’s administration so far. More of this PLEASE 🙏🏿

True to the extent of affordability. If Pastor Chris and others could “cheat”, who are my?

Tribalism equals Yoruba and not Nigerians

Sonnobax15:

The rate at which an average Nigerian is tribalistic is something every street civil defense chairman across all the 774 local government areas of Nigeria ought to take fight against . Cuz it's getting out of hand

Take a simple look at the comments that followed up with the post, personally I'm disappointed at the then...... Supposed learned people who do business with people from different spheres,tribes and ethnicity tend to derive pleasure from tribalism

Why not help us and marry them.

As you grow older, you realise why our parents marriages that were majorly a product of matchmaking thrived and ours or marriages since the advent of Nollywood or internet in Nigeria built on love is failing.

Honestly, you would have laid a path for your future early the earlier you realise this

Gerrard59:
There is nothing like love. Even if there is, love cannot exist in a poor society. People who lack basic needs cannot love. It's not in them to love. Love cannot thrive in hunger.

Chief, I agree with your take on fewer children but I generally don’t consider it as much a factor in the entrenchment of poverty in our country today as the retrogressive government policies. My point being, if you live in the Southern part or come from here, most families consist of majorly 2-3 children. Occasionally, you might see a 4-5 children Also, most couples practice child spacing, with the usual being 2 to 3 years gap and occasionally, you might find 5-10 years gap between siblings. So, I don’t generally consider Nigerians, especially Southern Nigerians as birthing too many children or the usual 2-4 children as a contributing factor for poverty in Southern Nigeria especially. In the North?, yes. I agree it is but not in the South.

Secondly, if you don’t believe the 2015 elections was rigged, then I have a land to sell to you at Aso Rock. To the extent that a sitting president had to complain of external interference in the elections. Specifically, the Obama led government of The USA. Yes, some low IQ literate people voted the APC then but there’s no way they were in the majority.

Gerrard59:
You made great points especially with reference to 2015. However, the majority of Nigerians whom you sympathise with vigorously campaigned and voted for Buhari in the same year. What do you say about that? In 2019, the same Nigerians voted for Buhari. The 2015 election had seemingly educated people who still maintain their obduracy to date campaigned and voted for Buhari. So why sympathise with such people? They knew what they wanted, and they got it.

Seeing such a mentality amongst the majority, it behoves on others to adopt better practices aimed at avoiding poverty. Number one method is fewer children. Nothing beats having fewer children.

Anyway, to solve the unemployment problem, we need a lot of good factory jobs. And yes, all other seaports have to function optimally for this to succeed.

Can they not install a network jamming device or system at the planes?

I guess you’re very rich now?

piagetskinner:
I only watch my tv once or twice a month. There was a time I didn’t even put it on for 3 months.

Chief, I acknowledge your point. However, I don’t think we have over 130million Nigerians that are multidimensionally poor today because they gave birth to more than 2 children or married someone under the excruciating burden of bad government policies like themselves. I’m not disputing the fact that indeed, some people are lazy but they’re just a tiny minority of the vast poor population of Nigeria.something like 1 in a thousand. I maintain that the primary cause of poverty in Nigeria is government policies.

As a country, we all agree that we’re one good President away from becoming a developing country or at least getting the basics right. but, still somehow find a way to excuse the thieving and unpatriotic, inefficient government and elites.

franchasng:
I acknowledge the points you raised as very big factors in what has been responsible for increase in poverty among Nigerians.


But those aside, how about those that have good jobs but refused to control the way and manner they produce children with the belief that God will take care of them?

Birthing more than 2 kids is not ideal for average income earners in Nigeria of today. Couples should restrict their child bearing to just 2 whether boy or girl, they are all the same in our evolving world of today. Gone are the days of seeing a male child as a superior child just because of lineage continuation.



Many guys got good job, started well and ended up marrying one zero ambition, lazy, zero talent, zero skill, zero dream girl in the name of mistaken love, and such marriage end up destroying all their hardwork and future prospect.


Marriage is very critical to every man's future. Who you marry matters a lot. I am married and I am telling you this from experience.

Many great guys doing well for themselves got slowed down and some sent back to square one by the woman they married.


Don't waive laziness aside. There are lazy Nigerians, or haven't you heard about some Nigerians that traveled to western countries with opportunities and came back home in the name of the culture there is too different, who does that if not the rich? Examples abound all over the place so don't think there are no poor Nigerians that became poor out of their own laziness and zero ambition/push for success.



Let me stop here for now

Chief, a majority of Nigerians poverty is caused by bad government policies and not these things you listed below. A country of such large population and landmass like Nigeria has its only truly functional seaports in one state of the entire federation. How many of such retrogressive policies will I mention?. Do you know how many graduates are roaming the streets after up to 10yrs post grad without jobs? And you dare insinuate they’re lazy or not working hard or smart enough?. Do you know how many graduates that are driving buses/Keke or doing dispatch rides and earning less than 200k per month?. Nothing breeds poverty like government policies and we’ve had it worst since 2015.

franchasng:
In as much as I agree with your comment I put on bold to an extent, but you cannot still take away the below factors as the major source of mass poverty in Nigeria:

Waiting for magic/miracle
Blaming others
Comfort zone
Having too many dependents
Early marriage
Having too many kids
Refusing to take some risks to break-even out of fear of failure
Marrying for love
Consecutive bad governments (President)
Keeping the wrong friends

Must you have an opinion on all topics?. Where have you seen a Nigerian watching TV all day since the past 30years?. Even if they want to watch to all day, where’s the electricity?. Don’t be too proud of the mercies of God on your life by thinking others are not working hard or hard enough or even smart enough… surviving in Nigeria takes more than hard and smart work.

brain54:
TV all day...

By the time poverty finish with the person he won't even have tv to watch.

All of the rest suggests the person is at least doing something to survive even if it's limited effort.

All day TV is just home all day watching TV with no attempt at even going out or hustling!

Imagine the government now instituting a cultural carnival because there’s non worthy of celebration before now?😂😂. Lagos is indeed a no man’s land
