/ The fact still remains that CNN had been caught in many lies before eg. Creating a background set to seem like they are reporting from a war zone whereas they were behind their studio.
/ They want to practice Western democracy in a jungle. Wrong medication for the right ailment. The lawyers could only use "should" without any power of enforcement.
In a third world country, whoever controls the guns is the law.
/ SWF is not the solution. Why save money in SWF when the new administration will plunder it? The problem is Nigerians and their high tolerance for corruption.
/ A lot of wailing in the church last Sunday...but such is life. He looked happy. But then one can never tell what someone else is going through. For someone who is more of a motivational speaker, it was shocking.
/ Yet they wonder why landlords are skeptical about renting to single ladies. Rent to one and "cousins" show up. Less than 6 months, the house becomes a minibrothel. They might not be prostitutes but as honey, bees must show.
johnmattew: Canadian president was in America last year, he spoke in French instead of English. that's because he is a French Canadian.... when last did y see theresa may speaking English with American accent*?.... inferiority complex if Kenyatta smells
/ A beggar has no choice.
When was the last time Canadian President went to London for medical solutions?
Stop comparing countries with zoo. Take it or leave it, US is 100x better than Kenya or Nigeria. If it pains you, hold your leaders accountable. Greatness is not by wishful thinking.
An American pastor was held in Turkey and that caused a lot of spat between US and Turkey that the latter's economy took a hit this month. A thousand Nigerians can be killed and Buhari won't bat an eyelid. Your leaders are the ones telling the world that you are inferior beings.
/ American accent or not, the take home is that he is able to articulate his points to the understanding of the audience.
Isn't that a great attribute of a salesman? Would they rather have him mumble through the speech like Buhari whereby both his home team and the audience had no slightest idea what he is mumbling about making the whole trip a colossal waste of time and resources. Trump seems to have a lot of free time at his disposal but I don't think wasting them on a lifeless and uninspiring guest is his forte. Buhari does not belong in the 21st century.
AngelicBeing: British prime minister is correct, Nigeria slipped into the country with the highest poor people in the world in February 2018, I followed the report at world poverty clock, then it was 83 million Nigerians but now it has increased to 87million, lots of folks are arguing online and more Nigerians are slipping into poverty
/ A lot of folks who live in Abuja, Lagos or urban centers think that those are what matter in Nigeria. Everyone counts and the deeper you delve into Nigeria, the level of extreme poverty becomes disheartening. The families at Angwan Rogo is no less significant than the ones in Lekki.
When you fly into Murtala Mohammed airport in Lagos, that first impression you get about Nigeria is what counts the most. They even refer to that municipal airport as an international airport. I am not bothered as much with politicians as I am by the neanderthals that keep making excuses for them.
Daviddson: She has yet to touch down in Nigeria and she's already running her mouth. All these whites and their boundless pride and disrespect for the blacks. The way they run down Africans churning out poverty figures from their mind, you'll think there are no poor, homeless people among them too. But alas the reverse is the case. Why are Nigerians on Nairaland so anti-Nigerian unlike what obtains on Twitter? Why can't we talk back at these imperialists, and leave out local politics aside, some times? Trump's reported comment about Buhari that filled the cyberspace yesterday should have received a widespread condemnation and trolling of Trump from us, but no, Nairalanders would rather insult their president more.
The only US president who ever spent three terms in office, Roosevelt, was a crippled who ruled from wheelchair, but he saw America through the Second World War making it an unrivalled world power.
/ Nobody is anti-Nigeria. Nigeria is what it is. Theresa May and Trump are not seeking any appointments from Nigeria and stand better to say their opinion without propaganda. How come we hear more about things in Nigeria when outside than inside Nigeria? Are Nigerian journalists biased, afraid or gagged? In all indices, Nigeria is a shithole country. There is nothing extraordinary about administering it. Sell oil and share the money. Simple as that. Yet the morons cannot get it right. How much oil is exported from Nigeria? How much is accrued to NNPC? Nobody knows. Nobody cares. Yeah! That's your economy. What economy?
Even among the educated folks, it is all about cram, pass and parade the certificates like chieftancy titles. No implementations. No applications. No serious national debates. Try engaging Nigerians on serious national issues. But bring up nonsense about Ghana vs Nigeria which is better in cooking fried rice, and their brains wake up. Of course Jesus will lavitate down to turn Nigeria to heaven. Part of the Nigerian nonsense is greatly exacerbated by folks like Abagworo (Imo state) who in my opinion is the lowest of the lows any human being can be.
/ I thought it was all propaganda and hatred against Rochas until I was unfortunate enough to have entered Owerri in June. I am still traumatized from the sight of Owerri. What will ever take me to Imo state again? Nothing that I can think of. Coming from Onitsha to that intersection(whatever it is called), then towards Orji, Ama Hausa, entered main streets, tried Concorde area and back en route to PH. It will take another twenty years to restore Owerri after Rochas destroyed it. War torn Afghanistan doesn't look that bad.
/ The name God is routinely abused in Nigeria. What happened to "we are working on securing her release"? There is something about Nigeria that dulls the sharpest of the brains. I dare say that no average person can reach his/her full potential in Nigeria. Possible but very rare.
grandstar: Cali is the state with the largest population and largest economy in the US
/ Think about it. Lawmakers in Nigeria haul home more in a month than lawmakers in California. But brain dead, educated but moronic Nigerians will not fight for that but quick to fight for APC or PDP - which by the way, are one and the same.
Cinderella5: are you saying every woman is a prostitute? If a stranger approaches me, we exchange contacts, then get to know each other over time, he asks me out and I agree cos I like him, then with time sex happens, you mean it's same with standing on the road or in hotel waiting for people to pay me for sex? I hope you are normal cos I won't waste my energy on a mad person.
/ You may choose to go to Lagos by bus or flight.
The final destination is still Lagos.
Don't berate those that travel by flight to get there faster.
If it means anything to you, practice chastity. As long as you are sleeping around with God-knows-who for God-knows-what, you are exchanging sex for stuff(money, food, products), you are the same as the people you are berating perhaps on a different level.
/ This President and the one from Ghana are the only two Presidents from Africa that I like to follow.
When you see GEJ or Buhari in the international arena with microphones in front of them, here comes palpitation. One mediocre after another. Nigeria is wholly cursed.
I hope they are learning. California is only one of 50 states in US.
Bite yourselves!
Nigerians prefer welfare State than being proactive. Begging and solicitations have been elevated to an art forgetting that no nation or people ever begged themselves to prosperity.
Cinderella5: I am of the opinion that the men who leave their homes looking for a stranger to sleep with are under a spell, i don't think its normal.
Prostitutes who under any guise collect money to sleep with strangers are possessed.
These two set of people represent the dark world, i only wish they end up marrying themselves but the sad thing is they don't. The guy who has finished all his sperm on prostitutes is likely to end up with a God fearing responsible girl, while the girl whose vjay has lost its elasticity due to commercial sex will end up with a 'good guy'. life is so unfair.
Now between brostitutes and prostitutes, who can we say is responsible for the thriving immoral market?
/ The man who approaches you is a perfect stranger. If at any point you end up sleeping with him, what does that make you?
Abagworo: Spyder880 I think it's high time you leave this thread. I and every other wise Igbo man appreciate what you are trying to do for Igbos in general but as usual I noticed it would turn out like this when some people started claiming Ikwerre and tribes that rejected their origin and ethnicity. We have not been able to unite the parts that agree being called Igbo and some were already eyeing Igbo speakers that aren't Igbo. I have very good ideas on jow Igboland can move foward which I plan to unveil on better platforms but the hindrance remains inability of Igbos to separate religion and politics from Igbo interest.
You can continue your nice updates when they're done. Thank you.
/ I really do not see any difference between non-Igbos that flood this thread and Abagworo that feeds false information to fellow Igbo folks that seek to know the true state of affairs in Igbo land. We understand that the non-Igbos are being mischievous. But what is the motive behind the malleable integrity(if any exists) of Abagworo with blind support of the rot going on at Owerri? How low can folks go for a little change in the pocket?
/ If you want to see vibrant and intelligent leaders out of Africa, look towards Ghana and Kenya. Buhari looks unassuming and docile. When he talks, it erases all doubts about his doltishness. But then why ask Nigerians to select a leader when they don't know the attributes of a good leader? What we have in Nigeria is Yoruba and Igbo tribes that are educated to feel inferior to illiterate mallams up North.
/ Researches like this are useless. The inferences are tailored to favour the sponsors. A closer look at the data used usually shows variance with the screaming blanket statement they use for the headline. /
Rafeek1: I am a Yoruba boy based in Abuja. I graduated my secondary school 2012, wrote my first jamb in 2013 but i score 157 which was very low for any university to accept me as of then (because d cut off mark was 180)
I felt so disappointed in my self so i took another jamb in 2014 it was same 156 i was over disappointed in my self. I den decided to go for poly den (fed poly bauchi) but my mom refused that is too far from abj den. I don't have much knowledge about change of institution and nobody put me through so I went to college of education minna, spending 3yrs and have to wait for another year b4 result will b ready.
To cut d story shut, is diz year that am applying to university while my mates who go university and poly are serving now while some of them are even working. So am advising u guys not to go to collage of education it waste time.
/ Every experience counts.
In life, no be who first start dey win the race.
You may turn out better than those who started before you.
I used to have a colleague who happens to be a germophobe, I’ll always tell her, I do hope you know the germs you run from is present in thousands in your mouth, genitals and on your skin? Someone cannot step on your toes in peace, you must shout! The dirt you so fight people against, remember is your final home!
2. Morgue:
Have you seen how they embalm smokers, most especially those with respiratory tract problems? They rip them open, thrash their lungs and all that, needle them up like a sac of yam. It doesn’t matter if you were an army general of the fleet, you’d be served this treatment.
A warning to the proud and principled, you can’t move with ordinary people and you have class, well I do hope a visit will teach you to know we are all nothing but a bag of flesh and blood!
3. Orphanages/IDP camps:
Your parents never did their best, they served you garri and ekpa every afternoon right? When you visit these places, some children only wished they have someone they could call Mum, dad, brother, sister et al. At the IDP camp, you’d see a lot of people who smile only when they get to eat 1 meal per day.
Don’t be a selfish living being, it is not about you alone!
4. Abroad:
When I mentioned abroad, I mean the western world, Asia, Australia and other parts of Africa. It is not only enough to live through your kind and culture, living life means traveling to see the world, see people of different colors, their delicacies, values, and most specifically beliefs.
Need I remind you one of the best education you can give yourself is this; it will teach and perfect your behaviors, how to treat people and how to handle sensitive issues, trust me!
5. Vacations/wild:
It doesn’t matter if you are a teacher and can hardly afford 3 square meals, make sure you save up and visit the wild/resort at least once in your life time. It will give you a sense that better appreciates the work of God and nature. Trust me there are some creatures/natural resources you never believe existed.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be a vacation in Hawaii, gather your family, lodge in an hotel and have a great time in one of our resorts/falls/ranches.
6. Historical Museums:
Well, I have to tell you if you don’t know that you are a product of various genetic combinations; having said that, you’d agree with me it is only fair to know about the men whose genetic material you inherited. Visit a museum today, learn about your ancestors, city, state, and country to better understand where you are coming from, and where you are going!
7. Court room/Prison:
It doesn’t mean you’ll be a prisoner but trust me, it will serve as a guide especially to the big boys, fraudsters and most importantly the hot-tempered who picks up knives and broken bottles at the slightest provocation. Don’t be a convict before you’d appreciate the invaluable price of freedom, visit there at least once to understand life needs to be threaded softly!
generationz: do you know how much mark zuxkerbergs private jet costs or his house or his other properties. mark zuckerberg bought off his neighbors houses so he can have peace. if that's not a luxury for an average man then I don't know what is. after knowing the big things mark still lives a simple life . No gold chains ,no big wedding , no wealth flaunting you hardly hear about him in the new except its about his work
bill gates has a massive yacht, lives in a luxurious house. Yet he is still very simple and gives most of him income to the poor.
so my dear its possible
/ You ain't Zuckerberg/Gates.
They are not living simple lives by the way--bulletproof cars, body guards, private jet, are not simple way of living.
They are not loud because they have nothing to prove to anyone just as Dangote is not flaunting. People that flaunt are looking for validation.
right now I'm a simple lady working hard to live a luxurious yet simple life. if you know you know
/ Simple and luxury do not go.
Forget luxury. Lead a simple life and you will never run out of money in life. Life is not that complicated. They claim to be big boys and drive somewhat expensive cars but a life challenge of N5m will be catastrophic. Some people sef!
