Looking at development strides in UAE, Qatar, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, one can't help but wonder if it is the same Allah they worship with Northern Nigerians.

It may seem that everything good stops at Nigerian borders.

It sounds like PR stunt sponsored by Dangote.

If you read carefully, one notices that he subtly informed the public that Dangote refinery will start in 1st Quarter 2024 contrary to the end of this year as promised.

It will be a miracle if the production is not moved back to 2025, 2026, then 2027--a gimmick for the next election.

Nothing works in Nigeria! Nothing works in Nigeria!!

But when the redundant fellows get sacked, people start wailing on their behalf.

The day those idle fellas at NNPC get sacked as well, people will wail too.

What's wrong with people?

Kudos to Wike! More sacking is necessary to see if the rest can wake up.

Were they really expecting Emefile to be caned while they (the directors) stay put after the mess they put Nigeria through? Total flush out is good.

Evolutionism:
Lol what did i just Read?

Because of ordinary pressing of phone for 30secs na why he Vex. Probably the guy no dey okay Upstairs

Why not kukuma say She should not breathe at all

Nonsense and Ingredients.

Me as a Man, I can be on date with someone and still keep pressing my phone intermittently.

/

Your style is understandable.

After all not everyone thinks highly of himself or places value on his time. You can even have her call her ex-bf on a video call while on a date with you.

Tinubu's drug case is something he cannot just wish away. That's the essence of public records and accountability.

Nigerians do not protest against anything bad governance. They are leeches waiting to migrate to countries where the citizens have fixed their countries.

Racoon:
Umahi Ezigbo are gbagbue gi there. Wicked souls! Evil politicians! May all the pains, anguish, hardships, bloodshed, and killing the downtrodden and beleaguered citizens of this nation suffered in the hands of Tinubu APC be visited upon you

Fr Ejike Mbaka said that Buhari was prayer answered.

Now Mr Dave Umahi is saying that Tinubu is prayer answered.

I feel sorry for God sometimes. I wonder how s/he takes all these abuses from Nigerians.

The fundamental question is 'was there love before the kids came'? 'Why did they get married in the first place?' etc.

Then you would have your answer.

/

Those still mixing love and marriage are delusional. Find someone you like and respect, then approach him/her with some sense of responsibility. Both parties work together to build a lasting marriage. Love is a feeling and feelings do change. If you marry because of love, the outcome is divorce because the older you get, your priorities and life choices change. Then you realize that love is a fantasy good in movies. Oyibo people have tried love and it is not working.

There is nothing he can do.

Euro, £, Canadian $, Yen and other major currencies have been on a free fall against US dollars since August this year.

Cardoso should have just pointed that out instead of spinning bullshit.

Many of you will apply for jobs, probably get it and turn around to fight the company for trying to verify the information on your CV.

Did God design the brain of Nigerians? No way! It must be an apprentice angel having a bad day because the way many of you think can never be the handiwork of God.

Any house you see a lot of men frequenting in fancy cars, know that there is a beautiful lady living inside.
So is a country's economy. If you build, they must come. If you must go to beg, you are only inviting economic hitmen. Common sense is not common.

X company invested $1,000,000 @ N450/$ in Nigeria. They made a profit of $300k in the fiscal year. To repatriate their money, the conversion rate is N1000/$. So their total fund of $1.3m (overhead expenses and cost of doing business not included) automatically becomes $585k. So their loss is $715k just by exchange rate variation. Who does business to lose?

Even if Afghanistan does a visa promo in Nigeria, most of you will still opt for USA, Canada, UK for some reasons. Good market dey sell itself.

Hollywood Writer Guild strike lasted 4 months until their demands are met.

Hong Kong protest lasted 79 days.

Indian Farmers' protest in 2021 lasted 18 months.


Tiananmen protest lasted 3 weeks.

And many more.

In Nigeria, the EndSARS lasted 2 weeks until the citizens' demands were met somewhat.

NLC and TUC? Their protests do not last 3 days. That's why both the members and FG see them as jokers--nobody takes them serious. It may seem that they only make noise when their individual account balances are low.

I used to be one of the fools that's sympathetic to the plight of Nigerians....not anymore

/

Nigeria don set.

Campaign is over.

Time to live in reality of their choices.

/

You little kids with no background in Nigerian history.

Buhari left Nigeria in tatters the way he left it in 1984/5.


My prediction: Many of you here will live your full life and die while still hoping for a better Nigeria like your grandparents.

The judge better not sleep any place that is more than one storey because enemies of Russia are known to always fall off the windows of skyscrapers "accidentally" Most importantly, he should avoid drinking in public to avoid poisoning by covert KGB agents. That's one heck of a pressure on one man. Now he has to watch his back and avoid tails by unfamiliar cars.

I don't understand how nose piercing and waist beads are turn offs for some men.
I find them sexy and very attractive. Why do some men hate them?

Future wifey (if there will be one) will surely have nose piercing

/
No problem.

After a few years of marriage na only you go come outside wailing about your marriage and begging NL mods to push your lamentations to front page.

Be careful what you dream bc it may come true.

Finger nails tell me 90% of everything I need to know.

That's the first place I lay emphasis on.

Imagine if it were Peter Obi making these infantile excuses and pleadings, the decibel of noise from Nigeria would have been astronomical.

Atiku vs Tinubu is a case of two elephants fighting. Only a few Nigerians have the wherewithal to pursue a cunny fellow like Tinubu. So let his two major opponents continue to squeeze his balls.

Ahmadm:
So I was out this evening to buy something at Area 2 shopping complex in Abuja. As I entered my car and about to turn and go home, a young lady driving a big SUV car stopped by my side lower her window and she greeted me, when I answered she asked whether I can help her out, so I was like ok go on, thinking maybe she's lost and asking for directions, but to my utmost surprise she asked me to please give her some cash to buy fuel because she's running out of fuel and she has no money to buy fuel and she needs to go to Apo.

I just shook my head and told her sorry and I zoomed off. I don't know if any of you ever had this experience here in Abuja too?

/
She is an entitled opportunist. She was looking for marks.
So she doesn't know anyone that could transfer some urgent cash she would use to buy fuel? I bet she won't try such game on fellow women.

Not when he could have relocated to Nigeria and he would have been provided with 24/7 military and police escort. With that level of wealth, he would have married Ms Nigeria if he so chose and get a Nigerian passport as Mr. Ibrahim Adebayo. Then live happily ever after.

Coming125:
When a 70 yrs old man behaves very foolishly, someone old enough to be your father, what do you do? How do you handle it as an adult? You as an adult of say 35-47yrs. Some 70, 75 yrs old men and women behave very foolishly, very irresponsible, very cunning, very dishonest, very deceitful, trying to cheat you, to manipulate you, trying to use their old age to manipulate you or to intimidate you, etc.

The level of crime and immorality in our society is too much. Even old men are not spared anymore. If I continue to write I will spend the whole day writing. Let me just stop here.

What do you think?

Not by age.

The 30-years old slowpoke you know today will be a 70-yrs old idiot in forty years.

No country was developed through prayers.

Hopeless prayers are what's keeping Nigeria in the dungeon for decades. Keep praying...except that the people do not understand that religious organizations are in bed with politicians. More hardship, more religious awareness that lead to more tithing in the false hope of bountiful returns.

The main job of African politicians is to exert pain on the masses while the job of religion is to tell the people to be patient in pain as their real rewards are in heaven. And the morons agreed.

It tools actions to change the trajectories of Mali, Niger and Gabon. Prayers and fasting didn't achieve squat for decades.

Nigerians think politics is like English Premier League where the players win championship and get paid millions in pounds sterling while their poor supporters are in Nigeria drinking, arguing and fighting about the matches while living in abject poverty. Sadly politics is impactful in their lives unlike football leagues.

DrGoodman:
Peter Obi is just too clean, nobody can rub dirt on him.

If Peter Obi takes over this country, Nigeria will become great in 2 years max, dude is not greedy and has a super clean record.

/
Why is Peter Obi wasting his time? By mere perusing the comments on NL, one can tell that some people don't deserve to be saved. At this point in life, the best approach is just sit back and enjoy watching Nigerians suffer. They deserve it. Who dies first loses.

I couldn't care less!

/

Nice move.

That's why the Abuja CBD looks like a joke.

They turned the lands into speculative instruments while the place lays fallow and unappealing. CBD in many major cities are where the activities are but the one in Abuja becomes a ghost location after 8pm.

Religion is man made way of controlling others.
Christians use Bible as foundation but majority of Christians don't read the Bible and even when they do, they barely understand because of centuries of twists, turns and excisions to fit certain narratives.

Colonization resulted in forced religion and indoctrination from childhood. Ever wonder why Igbo people (majority Christians in Nigeria) have English middle names. One can still see Taiwo Adekunle Omojuwa in Yoruba but rarely in Igbo land do they use Igbo names as middle names.

Each country has their version of Christianity:
Anglican (England)
Greek Orthodox
Armenian Orthodox
Dutch Reformed church
Scottish Presbyterian
Roman Catholic.

Indians are Hindu
Buddhism is predominant in Asia
Islam is predominant in Middle East
Israel has Judaism.

Which one is Nigerian? Yoruba has Ifa. Igbo has Omenala. But they have been relegated in pursuit of foreign religion to the point that many Nigerians do swear with their lives that the foreign religion is the only way because that's what the sect claims. Advertising and Marketing at its best.

Jesus will save his people of Israel first before acknowledging the existence of niggas in Africa. It ain't no propaganda but reality.

onuman:
You know nothing about the travel talk you wrote.

Travellers from Akwa Ibom and Cross River states travel to Onitsha through Orlu on going to Onitsha or Lagos.

/
Obviously you don't know the location of Orlu.

JasonNOTStatham:
An eye for an eye would throw everything in chaos but, there must be something that says "keep off" don't dare us.

You shout and worship the God of Israel.

So look up how Israel defends herself.

Of course not through prayers and fasting nor disturbing the whole neighborhood early morning with speaking in tongues gibberish.

We are all mortals and expendable.

A leader is only as powerful as the people who choose to obey him. The greatest fear of any leader is the people picking up arms to challenge his/her authority. Bullets do not respect uniform else many soldiers and police people would still be alive today.
/

Generalmystic:
Nigerians are stranded on that road, lets help amplify this so that relevant authorities will do something.

Since Orlu is hotbed of insecurity, most people traveling from Akwa ibom,Cross River, Aba, Enugu, Owerri to Lagos, plies that Onitsha-Owerri road.

/
There is no connection between travelling from SE/SS to Lagos with Orlu.

An average US medical doctor carries about $300k in student loans on graduation. You come from another country with zero debts and don't expect there will be gatekeeping beyond certificates? Bad belle dey.

You need retraining too to shed the toga of incompetence and dearth of professionalism programmed in Nigerian brains. The transition from demigod to service delivery is a Herculean task for many Nigerian doctors. Malpractice lawsuits are waiting and someone has to pay premiums. " Let God judge" is not part of the curricula.
