The outrage must be from non-Nigerians.

An average Nigerian understands that s/he is a walking corpse. Most of those multi-million naira mansions have no first aid box inside.

People speed knowing that they are one accident away from joining their ancestors. From Okigwe to Port-Harcourt along the Enugu-PH expressway has more than 20 mortuaries without a single hospital or Emergency center. Go figure!

Allen Onyema is a liar and a bad one at that.

Did the aviation taxes magically increased on Dec 1st to warrant the hike in airfares? If the airlines have been profitable from January-November, what made the difference in December other than wanton profiteering and insatiable greed?

Considering the expose' in Edo State recently, I wish the communities well. Did anyone hear any advertisement for recruitment in any of the National Dailies? Who are the 7000 members of the "Forest Guard"? I laugh in Spanish. It is well.

This is someone whose country was bombed recently by another country.

He really got his priorities right. Nigerians deserve their leaders.

The most disgusting thing is that majority of Nigerians are not tasking the government in
their unwillingness to checkmate terrorists. The ones with voices are more interested in
the tax reform than security of life and properties. Perhaps the nonchalant attitude of
the populace is why the government could care less.

Who cares if the Americans fail to decimate the terrorists? At least they did something instead of excuses.
Nigerians online are yapping as if Trump is the President of Nigeria. Why not hold your elected officials
responsible? It can’t be Trump dey work, Nigerian politicians dey chop.

olayinkabank:
Please Nairalanders, I need your sincere advice. I am confused.
I have been a member of this great platform since 2010 when I was in secondary school (SS2), but this is the first time I am seeking advice here. I was quite active and popular on the platform from 2010 to 2014, especially in the sports, politics, and education sections though I just created this new account today.
I am currently engaged to a lady. We have done the introduction—both families have met, and we have collected the marriage list. The wedding is planned for late March next year.
My fiancée is a Christian and from the Igbira tribe, although she understands Yoruba more than Igbira. All her siblings are married to Yoruba spouses. I am a Yoruba man and a Muslim by background.
Initially, her family strongly objected to the marriage because of religious differences. However, after much persuasion—and after my fiancée threatened to harm herself if she was not allowed to marry me—her extended family members who are Muslims intervened, and the family reluctantly agreed.
On my own side, my mother also objected at first. She dislikes my fiancée because there are rumors that her elder sister did money ritual. After much pleading, my mother later accepted the marriage.
For context, my fiancée’s parents were originally Muslims but converted to Christianity before they died.
The main issue now is that my fiancée’s siblings, especially the elder ones, are insisting that we must do either a church wedding or a court wedding. They say a traditional wedding alone is not acceptable.
As for me, I work with a financial institution and was converted to professional staff last year. I also run a football viewing center and a betting shop. My fiancée just finished her tailoring apprenticeship (freedom). She is a graduate but currently unemployed, and I am planning to open a tailoring shop for her.
Because I am the one providing almost everything financially, I feel a court wedding may not favor me in the long run. At the same time, my parents will never accept a church wedding, especially since my father is the head of a local Asalatu group.
Please note: I am not a religious person. I consider myself agnostic—I believe in a Supreme Being but not in Christianity or Islam. However, neither my family nor my fiancée knows this, because they would likely see me as evil or someone possessed.
My fiancée has agreed to convert to Islam after the wedding, which makes my family happy. Personally, I don’t really care about that because I believe more in humanity than religion.
Now I am confused and stuck between:
Her family insisting on church or court wedding
My parents rejecting church wedding
My own fears about court marriage
Religious pressure from both sides
Please, I need honest and mature advice from Nairalanders. What is the best way forward in this situation? especially to those who have done interfaith wedding before or in an interfaith relationship?

After your parents die... After her parents die...I wonder who will be making your life's decisions for you. You are not matured enough for marriage yet.

50% of the blames can be attributed to the activities of the agents.

Initiating the attack in Sokoto is very symbolic.

Those who have functional brain will understand.

/

Why bother explaining to those still operating 19th century style of war? They think modern warfare is about tanks and AK-47. Countries like US and Israel can decimate Nigeria without stepping into the Nigerian territory. Those warships stationed in the Atlantic ocean are more than enough to deploy the necessary forces required to annihilate the country.

A low end intelligence Google map can show any place in Nigeria and its coordinates.

Poverty is the plant and greed is the fertilizer.

Ponzi scheme comes in different forms but the most sustainable one is tithes. Heck! They see the tithes wasted on private jets, private institutions and Nollywood actresses; they cheer!

Boots on ground means that Nigeria is no longer a sovereign state and an indictment of whoever claims to be the President. It is the lowest point in Nigeria that being one of the acclaimed most educated in the world, they chose the worst of the worst to lead them. Another way of saying that "cram and pass" multiple degrees are useless.

/

/
If there is a subtle way of telling the President of a "sovereign" state that he ain't shit, this is it

/

/

It was actually Nigerian Airforce that struck Sokoto. Trump is unnecessarily taking glory that doesn't belong to USA. Rumour has it that Tinubu himself flew the Tucano jet allegedly.

/

/
It is ok.

Everyone we celebrate today was once convicted of heinous crimes through collusion by their respective governments: Jesus Christ, Nelson Mandela, Obasanjo, Wole Soyinka, Nnamdi Kalu, Sowore, and many others. Who speaks out gets nailed to the cross and that's why the world is not in short supply of sycophants and data boys. The thought of arrest will make those sycophants tell satan that he is the new Messiah and collect their stipends in tow

Whoever surrenders her sovereignty has no right to complain. Leadership is not about moving in a large motorcade surrounded by hundreds of armed guards.
Peacocking is not leadership contrary to what Nigerians believe.

It doesn't have to stop terrorism. But at least the terrorists know that they no longer have blanks cheques to murder citizens with no repercussions. El Rufai said that the best terrorists are the dead ones.

/

/
The most important thing here is that the arrogance of Democracy is being pulled from the politicians. When Akpabio cried in the chamber that Trump is watching, I knew that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Power pass power.

We are waiting for Wike to bark at Trump.

SenecaTheYonger:
The way they dealt with Palestine made me realize Trump didnt come to play.


I wonder what will become of Christian’s when Trump is no longer president.


All the Christian European leaders are too afraid of defending Christians against Muslim, even in their own countries, because of their political correctness

/
Trump?

Didn't you hear Israeli PM Netanyahu's Xmas message? He sent a direct warning to the FG of Nigeria to stop the Christian genocide. It is getting interesting. Apparently USA and allies saw through the FGN delegation to Washington DC. The revelation about the herdsmen arrested in Edo who confirmed that NSA armed them with AK-47s destroyed the pack of lies built by APC. It doesn't end with wild decamping into APC while data boys cheer.

I really want to see those Tucano air bicycles dog it out with F-16 and F-22s

They can scramble fighter jets to Benin Republic but not to the North. It is well.

Gone are the days when God used to send down needles to close up the mouths of lions (kidnappers) just to rescue Daniel from their den

Believing such stupid stories is why Nigeria is where it is today. Israelis are fully armed and ready for terrorists while Nigerians are calling on God of Israel for protection while waiting to be kidnapped and massacred. Some Neanderthals even believe that wearing aprons makes them immune to bullet wounds. Go figure! And the thought that rational minds are sharing the same space with people like that is chronically nauseating.

/

They are really trying hard to prove to Trump that muslims are victims too.

The way oyibo people reason and plan ahead is amazing. Are you sure that it is the same God that created every race because Asians, Whites and Arabs seems to be progressing while even the most educated of the blacks(especially Africans) still live in the stone age?

People will gladly pay tax if there are guarantees that the funds will be judiciously utilized. Subsidy removal scam is still a bitter pill to swallow. They promised El Dorado but handed out stones for bread to the masses. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Of course, the data boys are on the prowl online as usual trying to justify absurdities.

/

/
I guess he doesn't understand why Facebook, Youtube and other social media outlets pay less to Nigerian content creators. Nigeria has the number but no significant purchasing power in the global arena. Visa ban for a country they provide financial aid annually to will really hurt US.

/

Black people!!!

Who will tell them the truth behind the Biblical fables?

/

/
That's impressive!

10 million active payers? Considering that the country provides no social services, such people should be lauded for their selfless services.

If the much hyped subsidy removal didn't provide any succour to Nigerians, this taxation will also end up as a fundraiser for looters. The Malamis and Mainas will do justice to the fund.

/

Who want pay make e pay.

Knowing Nigerians, one day the government will tell them that their wives belong to the politicians and they will agree. No push back. No civil disobedience. Just bend over and take it, then start wailing after the irreparable damage is done.

/

/

Much ado about nothing.

Who want pay make e pay. Simple.

POS operator that pays N20 million cash?

Well...after Nigerians believed that a snake swallowed N240 million, I don't see why any official should put in any efforts to make the lies somewhat believable.

GEJ (especially the wife Patience) dealt with MoSaraha (Alh. Kabiru from Kogi) that year. It was a demolition derby and subsequent forceful acquisition and reallocation. This life sef! The same fate awaits those getting allocations under Wike.

They knew that it would fail just like dismantling checkpoints. Everyone including the officers know that they are on their own as long as Nigeria is concerned.
