Obaseki should just start looting and getting ready to exit government house.

His defeat is beyond redemption and political aristocrat's can see the huge bill board hanging on the wall.

When you see any short man dancing, they are dancing in advance to what will befall you.

What short people lack in height, they make up for it with devilish instinct.

Like a professor once said in Greece, it's better to be bitten by a rattle snake than to offend a short man.

Obaseki's strong head will get him nowhere against a dwarfed Oshiomole.

It's a constant !

please apart from dick and money, what other impact does a man add to a woman's life?

asking for a friend

so many mentions yet not 1 thing, guess that's all y'all have afterall, but you want a woman to be everything including a mother, househelp, maid, prostitute, manager and nanny for you. SMH

y'all are just mentioning me to wail I'm far from bitter, but the way y'all brag on us and ask what we have to offer has made me think about it and ask you same but you are all just crying here, still nothing to add. remember you expect us to make money and take care of ourselves too, plus dick don't cost a thing, it's free and everywhere, easy to get. so what else? REALLY

yes dicks can be free and you can get it almost anywhere but if only men knew how to get hold of themselves you guys will cum begging for it even with money and there won't be any case of man raping woman, but it will be the other way around!!!! and there would be riots everywhere because of dick which you said is everywhere!!!

COdeGenesis:


Lolz. You are funny. How much fuel do you buy to run your gen for like 8hrs a day, I would assume maybe 1k. Now calculate that for 30days. Let's say you were given light for 8 hrs light for 30days. Would you pay 30k without complaining. 24hrs light would be X3 that is like 90k. Do you think an average Nigerian would not think of playing smart. Electricity is not cheap I.

well you know we Nigerians now can always adjust no matter the situation it's in our DNA!!! if the bill is way too much trust most average person they will boycott it until the price is reduced considerably , and fg will subside it too. and don't forget to service a Gen is not cheap! with that be said with constant light you won't need Gen or worry about servicing and change of oil and workmanship! if you calculate all of the above I just mentioned you will see that it's almost the same and don't forget Gen noise can be really annoying!! and everybody will start using prepaid metre instead of analog and estimated billing which we are having now, so you get to pay for what you use instead of the other way around and everyone will start using energy saving appliances!! trust me we will adjust just fine!!!!!

Gnaeusmagnus:


I'll do the same.

The problem is, are Nigerians ready to pay Siemens prices?

the answer is capital yes!!! do you know how much an average Nigerian spends on fuel daily basis??! I have a guy who owns a betting shop, he spends nothing less than 90k monthly!!! just for one shop! and Gen maintenance no dey there plus oil o. as I'm typing this post now I on Gen standby, since 2018 nai we get light reach !!!! if you doubt it come to my area at evbuotubu in Benin city and see for yourself!! if they come we will gladly pay for it and it will boost our economy by %1000000

hello my fellow nairalanders! i just stumbled upon a book about a Nigerian pastor named pastor Sola, (please ignore my typo and grammar errors) when I got his book (it's free BTW) I was shock by what I read, at first I thought my mind was playing fast one on me then I re read it and find out what I read earlier was 100% true and I even visit his Facebook page and it's the same! and the funny thing is that some people were sharing testimonies and they were praising him on how they were cured just by mentioning his name and or that, He said he is the Lord Jesus Christ son of God who came 2000 years ago and died on the cross!! I was shocked how some people are easily been mislead by fake pastors!! please guys just take a moment and verify what I just type, well I'm not surprised because all these things are in the Scriptures Jesus said ' many will come in my name and deceive many and even the ELECTS, and except those days are shortened no SOUL will be saved, but because of the ELECTS sake it will be shortened! go here and see for yourself https://m.facebook.com/Pastor-SOLA-392023844294055/?refid=17&_ft_=mf_story_key.1374099449419818%3Atop_level_post_id.1374099449419818%3Atl_objid.1374099449419818%3Acontent_owner_id_new.392023844294055%3Athrowback_story_fbid.1374099449419818%3Apage_id.392023844294055%3Astory_location.4%3Apage_insights.%7B%22392023844294055%22%3A%7B%22page_id%22%3A392023844294055%2C%22actor_id%22%3A392023844294055%2C%22dm%22%3A%7B%22isShare%22%3A0%2C%22originalPostOwnerID%22%3A0%7D%2C%22psn%22%3A%22EntStatusCreationStory%22%2C%22post_context%22%3A%7B%22object_fbtype%22%3A266%2C%22publish_time%22%3A1581077552%2C%22story_name%22%3A%22EntStatusCreationStory%22%2C%22story_fbid%22%3A%5B1374099449419818%5D%7D%2C%22role%22%3A1%2C%22sl%22%3A4%2C%22targets%22%3A%5B%7B%22actor_id%22%3A392023844294055%2C%22page_id%22%3A392023844294055%2C%22post_id%22%3A1374099449419818%2C%22role%22%3A1%2C%22share_id%22%3A0%7D%5D%7D%7D%3Athid.392023844294055%3A306061129499414%3A2%3A0%3A1583049599%3A3875991482733881980&__tn__=C-R

This is not a tax! Taxes goes to government. This is a service charge and will be retained by service providers (banks). The aim of this is to force citizens to use cashless options instead of cash.

and when they have achieved their goals you will see how they will look for one way or the other to meek us dry!!! Banks and other financial institutions will work just like PayPal and will be charging between 2% and %5 for any transactions and other charges as well under the guise of maintenance fees, sometimes you might even want to do transaction and there will be no network for that because other people wants to do theirs as well and the network will be overwhelmed!! plus issues of epileptic power supply!! the problems of Nigeria is this: our so called leaders don't plan to put anything in place before implementing their policy just because they see other countries doing the same and where successful but they forgot to grasp the fact that it took them years of planning etc, everything about our leaders is if they see something that will FAVOUR them they will use aggressive means to implement it, if only they can use the same for economic development Nigeria would have been a better place!!!!

I can't stop laughing

@ Lalasticlala please push this to front page let's discuss the way forward for we country naija!

tayebest:


See ehn, sometimes all this diplomatic moves don't work. I expect AU to have stepped in and utter some aggressive measures, but, No. Nigeria just need to man and take drastic measures.

Even though we are to take some diplomatic steps, we still need some hard moves. SA are taking us for granted. Imagine those lazy youths carrying out xenophobic protests and police are not doing poo.

We need to send some threats to them. The air fighter jets I mentioned earlier was just to send message to them that they don't have monopoly of violence. We dont have to attack them first with aggression. We are Africa giant for a reason!

yes I get where you are going with that but in terms of military power Nigeria is behind south Africa and it was rightly pointed out in the article above, and the other thing I agree with you is that of the AU; they are just there for formalities nothing more!!! take example from the many atrocities committed by many members states, despite all the evidence, yet no sanctions or any action to curtailed their evil deeds! it's the same thing with UN etc they are just there for reasons only known to them which are "selected few" despite all the evils happening around the world they still treats it with kids gloves!! and why haven't they condemned the xenophobic act already!! I have other things to say but I don't want to get banned !

tayebest:
Assuming Buhari has send that air fighter jets to South Africa with our flag hovering under it. Threatening the hell outta South Africa and her citizen. And should cut all diplomatic ties with them.

Aljazeera won't be here spewing thrash!

it isn't always about that, first Nigeria should have used its diplomatic powers to boycott south Africa through AU and ECOWAS and also utilize it status as the giants of Africa!! that would have brought south Africa to their knees!! so its not always about using military power its should only be used if all other diplomat failed and last resort!

Gandollaar:
But that is exactly how we are, too bad.

the thing tire me too!!

vedaxcool:
If Atiku son of cumrruption was president he would have said free Duke my guy

hmmm as if your SAINT Buhari is free from corruption !!!! let's wait until he leaves office!!!!!!!!

this is how the whites thinks about Nigeria now pathetic

Since the images and videos of the maiming and killing of black foreigners inSouth Africa began to emerge on various social media platforms last week, Nigeriahas been an emotionally frayed place. Tens of thousands of Nigerians live in South African cities and in recent years, they have become frequent targets of xenophobic attacks.

This time, anger in Nigeria boiled over and young Nigerians took to the streets protesting South African aggression and unleashing some of their own on South African-owned businesses.

The Nigerian government felt pressured to act and subsequently recalled its ambassador from Pretoria and announced it was pulling out of the World Economic Forum meeting on Africa which was held in Cape Town. While some Nigerians welcomed the move, others thought it was not enough and called on their government to intervene and rescue its citizens.

Examples abound of powerful countries going to great lengths to protect and repatriate their citizens who have faced danger abroad.

But Nigeria is not one of them. Indeed, in the past, the country has stood its ground on a number of occasions when defending its national interests. In the 1960s, for example, Nigeria had a face-off with Franceover the latter's continuous tests of nuclear weapons in the Sahara desert. The government of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa acted decisively, breaking diplomatic relations with Paris, expelling the French ambassador and imposing a full embargo on French goods.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Nigeria led the international effort to isolate and pressure the apartheid regime in South Africa. It threatened economic action against Western powers for refusing to sanction the regime and supported the national liberation movements in Southern Africa, including the African Nation Congress (ANC), with millions of dollarsannually.

In the 1990s, the country, under the leadership of military ruler Sani Abacha, defied international sanctions and welcomed a visit by Libyan leaderMuammar Gaddafi. It also directly intervened in the Liberian civil war, dispatching Nigerian troops to fight.

Most of the reactions to the violent attacks on Nigerians and other Africans in South Africa reflect a yearning for Abacha-style diplomacy. But as recent developments in its relations with the United Statesdemonstrated, Nigeria can no longer wield such diplomatic power. Last month, the Nigerian government was spectacularly quick to react to the US's reciprocal rise in visa fees by reducing the charge for Americans applying for a visa to enter the country. And last year President Muhammadu Buhari decided to "keep quiet" on President Donald Trump's alleged "s***hole" remark about African nations.

At present, it is clear Nigeria does not have the military, the intelligence capability or the diplomatic clout to pursue a serious escalation against even a regional power, such as South Africa.

This diplomatic "standoff" with Pretoria has exposed the weakness Abuja has masked in parading itself as a self-styled "Giant of Africa". South Africa used to be a bully that Nigeria could restrain through its support for proxies inside the country and its neighbourhood. But since the end apartheid, this relationship has evolved into a regional competition, which Pretoria is winning.

After the sanctions and international isolation were lifted, South Africa quickly became the continent's more favoured ally of developed economies and foreign investors. Pretoria emerged as the recipient of the largest share of foreign direct investment in sub-Saharan Africa and in 2011 joined the BRIC countries in an economic pact formed to challenge the domination of Western economic policy.

It is also an important trading partner that Nigeria cannot afford to lose. South African businesses have major investments in the country, including the DSTV cable service, MTN telecom, the Shoprite supermarket chain and others. Nigeria exports $3.83bn worth of goods, mostly oil and oil products, to South Africa. By contrast, it imports just $514.3m of South African products, which accounts for less than one percent of total South African exports.

The more contrasting feature of the two economies, and which again highlights Nigeria's weakness is that while Abuja levers around a commodity-dependent economy, Pretoria has built a highly-diversified economy with a superior industrial structure. In other words, Nigeria needs South Africa economically, much more than South Africa needs Nigeria.

Nigeria's geopolitical power has also waned in recent years, while South Africa has remained a major regional power. Abuja has been battling with a rebellion in the north for years and has struggled to put a stop to flares of tribal violence regularly killing dozens of people. In its neighbourhood, Nigeria continues to feel largely insecure, surrounded by Francophone countries whose allegiances to France threaten the commitment of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to stability and non-aggression in the region.

The Nigerian government has also been unable to muster enough influence in the West to become a trusted partner. In 2014, the Obama administration, for example, blocked the sale of arms to the Nigerian military. The Trump administration decided to proceed with it but under heavy conditions which Nigerian officials have deemed "unacceptable". Western reluctance to sell weapons to Abuja has pressed it to seek arms on the black market. South Africa has embarrassed it twice in recent years by intercepting large arms shipment bound for Nigeria.

In this sense, the Nigerian government cannot do anything about the violence against its citizens in South Africa beyond making a few symbolic diplomatic moves and bringing up once again the Nigerian role in liberating South Africans from its white oppressors. It is clear that in doing so it is addressing Pretoria from the position of weakness.

Indeed, using persistent references to sub-Saharan African commonality and solidarity as a result of shared history, race and geography is not an effective foreign policy tool.

The idea of One Africa is a farce taken too far, and successive Nigerian elites have pandered to this fantasy to the detriment of national interests. The legacy of this pan-African misadventure is a geopolitically weak Nigeria which cannot stand up to for itself and for its citizens

This very much has to do with mismanagement of the economy. The redemption Nigeria needs is one that moves the country away from dependence on oil exports, foreign imports and interventions and towards diversification and industrialisation. We cannot afford to glorify the idea of producing pencils in the age of artificial intelligence any more.

Only if the country becomes materially secure and industrially productive will it be able to regain its soft power and international clout and stand up to the old bullies in its neighbourhood.
