Nigeria a mockery? Only poor people say that, You are very ignorant, do you know what it is to have 200 million people in a region, Nigeria’s Population makes over half of West Africa, Obama chose to go to Ghana good luck to him, Lagos Economy alone, & GDP is bigger than Ghana’s.

Like they say, " it is the quality not the quantity"

That's why one house in Banana island is worth more than 20 in Ikotun and a small nation like Israel is a world superpower while Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. It is about "productive" population not just breeding like rabbits.

Nigeria is big for nothing. Most people realize it as soon as they venture outside Africa. Like Onowu said, "Don't ever debate about quality of life with a Nigerian living in Nigeria because even in centuries to come, he can never understand the deprivation"

He is the Igwe of Ngige's town. He should have asked Ngige for advice before going. And it was Ngige that blocked their plot. Very pathetic.

/
Ngige doesn't recognize nor identify with him. It is a long story. You won't understand.

The biggest problem with Nigerians is because they feel worthless about themselves, they feel shocked to see that there are countries who protect her citizens. Nigeria seems to be the only country that immigrants are termed expatriates and are allowed to start from the top. If you place no values on yourselves, others will treat you with derision. Why this is difficult for Nigerians to understand baffles me.

The reality of life.

All the people scheming and angling for 2023 election may not live to see 2023. Kashamu and Kyari may still be in denial about their demise.

Ebonyi has no business being under the Command in Ukpo. Umahi should have known that when he became a stooge to Arthur Ezeh, this is bound to happen. Stop running to Arthur Ezeh to raise money for campaign, dem no go hear.

If you have the power and don't know how to use it, you will be decimated. Ask Saraki and Atiku. Saraki protected Buhari in the senate initially. But today he is a persona non grata. Atiku had the opportunity to stop OBJ but he backed down. Today he is grasping for relevance.

To get Buhari to act, the senate need to move impeachment proceedings against him and mean it. He will discard the service chiefs in a heartbeat to save himself. He is only claiming "hardman" because they refuse to test him. IBB took no prisoners and Buhari was a goner. That was when men were men. Nigerian men (including the military) have been reduced to beggars, fearmongers, simps and sycophants. Bullies are only scared of strength and resolve.

When Ibo get money he become supreme over his community.
How is this story in Aniocha different from one involving Arthur Eze in Anambra?

/
Outsiders read news of their philanthropism and go gaga. But in their respective communities, they had destroyed many families and left a litany of death. In Nigeria it is all about being a free giver and you are crowned a saint. If satan doles out cash to the community regularly, they will curse God.

Due to this pandemic, the company where I work decided to lay off some staff. Unfortunately I was 1 of the people sacked. But I have N1 million as savings.

Now I'm thinking of starting a small scale business and also buy a car that I can use to pick passengers that are returning from work every evening from 4pm to 8pm everyday. But my girlfriend is against the idea. she said it's too downgrading for a graduate like me that if I go ahead with the plan she's going to quit the relationship. She said she wants her man to do a white collar job n not to hustle like a taut.

As for me, I'm tired of working with people. I want to be a Boss of my own. This situation will help me find my true love. A woman that will love me for who I am, what I have, what I do and not what she wants me to do.

/
She is a good girl. She told you her choice of a man. A bad girl would have hung around to ensure that she depletes that your savings before dumping you. Do your thing.

The people insulting and cursing out the President, governors and senators are on twitter, facebook, youtube and other listservs. How are they going to fight that?

He is probably the only honest politician around.
Since Independence, Nigerian politicians have been swearing by the Bible and Koran, yet the country remains the poverty capital of the world. Isn't it time we try other ways. Only a f00l will make the same mistakes several times and expect fruitful results. If anyone has problem with this man's action, they should walk into the nearest Catholic church and tell us the difference. Oh I know...the Catholics use the images of a whiteman and a white woman that Africans die to love.

/

The only one I respect is whoever fixes that PH-Aba road around Obigbo. Wike has just done that. The quality of work (4 lanes) there is outstanding up to the bridge. I hope they continued after I left.

/

Good audition!

Now Bourdillon close and Mc Oluomo will come calling. He has made his mark.

/

Nigerians have short attention span.

Calling GEJ a hero or father of democracy makes mockery of democracy.

What Aisha Yesufu chronicled brought back memories of the era of GEJ.

But then Buhari? Don't get me started. GEJ's failure as a leader catapulted Buhari from a reject to a winner. Even a monkey as an opponent would have defeated GEJ in that election. It was that bad. It is pitiful that the likes of GEJ and Okezie Ikpeazu will brag that they have Ph.D. It is a big slap on education.

Hedonisco:
I'm not sure the money was the motive. Even N2m is piss change for any traditional ruler in Anambra to hustle for.

/
Most of them there (if not all) are already on the payroll of Arthur Ezeh. One in particular stated a few years back that he got N50m from Arthur. Like in the mafia movies, they owe him.

Nigeria is a nation of acronyms.

Need Your Prayers On My New Adventure

Hello guys I don't want to bore you with a long epistle, I recently came back from service (nysc) and found my guys those that didn't even go to school buying lands n building for themselves structures especially the ones riding okada. Most of them do have savings of 10k weekly aside other expenses like feeding,rent etc despite having wife/girlfriends n children.

Though I learnt mason work before going to the university but mason work is seasonal especially during the raining season, have been at home for almost 3wiks doing nothing just spending the little savings I had from service.

With that been said I decided to get myself a bike with the remaining money I have pending on when things sterblize (federal/state job or when HV gathered enof Moni for business). If those with family can save 10k weekly, I think I can save 15k weekly since am single and still staying with my parents. I prayed to God for direction Sha but hope my decision isn't bad?

A lil prayer for me won't be bad

Hustle jam hustle.

Arthur promised them N2m each after seeing Buhari. He gave them N250k each for transportation and accommodations in Abuja. Oh well...Ezeuzu gave them N200k each instead and hustled them for N50k per head. 50K x 13 is N650k hustle. The plan to meet PMB failed. Arthur renegaded on the N2m but gave them N500k each. So for N700k, each igwe you saw in that video counting money destroyed his reputation. Good for them. They deserve dethronement not suspension.

Obiano is a clown and not only a clown but a fool.


Those traditional ruler for whatsoever reason, do not owe obiano any explanation or any loyalty.

before he became governor, they are there and will be there when he leaves. this is not less than been power drunk and autocractic


what sort of explanation do obiano want the traditional rulers to give him.......are they juvenile who owe obligations to their parents..

even if they collect money and count it in market places, that's not Obiano's business...

/
Have you ever heard of Commissioner on Chieftaincy matters? That's the person that issues certificates to the igwe to be duly recognized and be able to collect monthly stipend from the State Government. I already know that one particular igwe must be involved. Our people worship money too much.
/

Nigerians are their own worst enemies. An irresponsible government asked the citizens to turn over their weapons years ago and some morons sheepishly did that. If I live in Nigeria, I will be damned if I turn over any weapons to them. Now the citizens are helpless while Buhari boys roam around with AK-47s.

The only guys who complain about ladies are the ones who have shame. Shameless guys couldn't care less.

It hurts because it is the truth.

Losers should get a life.

They don't need her to drum it into their dumb skulls. It is a freaking tv show.

If Buhari had been from SW/SS/SE, he would have been impeached a long time ago. The question is: What is it about Hausa/Fulani that even when they give their worst to Nigeria, other regions remain mute? From Shagari all the way to Buhari, they have a way of putting the weakest link in power and there are no formidable challenges from other regions.

/

No be by shakara.

Dem wan use 12g shortgun pursue crazy herdmen wielding AK-47?

We glorify chaos and believe stress makes us "street". Then die at 55 tops.

You can drive normally in Lagos and still get to your destination in time. Everyone seems in a hurry to somewhere. They end up blocking the whole road and everyone gets to nowhere. Very silly set of people. What causes the long hours of traffick in Lagos? Impatient drivers! You get to where the whole thing starts to realize that nothing serious caused the hold up.

Ask 20 people to enter a bus with capacity to carry 20 people in Nigeria, dem go still rush to enter.

The system is corrupt. No matter how righteous you are, it turns into swim or sink.

In Need Of A Serious And Sincere Advice

Hi Nairanlanders,

I would have loved pour out all I'm going through but posting about personal issues can be really boring to some people and also, some might think this is some sort of competition cos of the rate at which people speak about their ordeals lately. I have done something really terrible which I personally go crazy anytime I think of it to my mom. All I feel right now is depression, anxiety, unhappiness and frustration that I'm afraid I may do something crazy. However, I'm in need of a serious advice and counselling from concerned people. I'm willing to let everything out... I NEED HELP, I'M SO GOING NUTS!!!

MODIFIED: Since many are of the opinion that I type it here, I'm going to do it..


December 2018, a boy in my neighborhood who is also like a relative started making some savings with me, unfortunately that was the time I started betting as well. I used to be very trustworthy when it comes to managing people's money that's why he entrusted his money in my care.

Betting later got the best of me, I used part of the money to bet, that was how this ordeal started. In the quest of refunding the money I used on betting, I kept losing the more. I lost up to 90k before coming up with a lie of how the money was stolen in my forex trading account but I promised to refund the money.

While trying to refund the money I kept losing the little I had with me till I got hold of my mom's bank account, this started around October last year. I kept using my mom's money and the loss kept accumulating. I was able to recover the loss on my mom's bank account before 2019 ended. Now to 2020, the boy kept asking for his money, I had to return to using my mom's money again as I had no other hope of getting the money.. how I wish I had told my mom about the whole thing when it was still amendable. Fast forward to today, I have used virtually all my mom's bank savings from betting to forex trading without her knowledge.

When she noticed about the error in her account, I had to lie I helped her fix her account as she doesn't make withdrawals from her account  cos she's a trader who doesn't use her bank savings for her business.. I'm finished now, I lied to her the duration of the fix is 4 months and she's expecting the money with return by August ending.

Together with the money I owe the other boy, I'm in over 600k debt... I seriously don't know how I got here, I wish I can turn back time, I feel drained... I don't know what to do with my life, I feel like I have failed the woman who has always shown me nothing but love and care. I failed her, I failed the woman who has always trusted me to be a good son.  I even had to lie to her! Each time I think of telling her about everything, I get sick. I can't keep on going this way.. I just want this to end. I'm really SAD

Friend's account? Depleted.
Mom's account? Depleted.

Then move on to your dad's account. I bet you there is some money there.

Love does not exist anymore.

It is all about interest.

Everyone comes with some expectations.
