It's called tribal & religious supremacy in Nigeria.


Every tribe and religion wants to take the leadership mantle even if it's representative is handicapped.

The British was very smart at it, that's why they packed all the hundreds of tribes together.

This looks like it, but the beauty of this is that every tribe gets to suffer the outcome of a bad policy

SalamRushdie:
Let me tell U a secret 99percent of Nigerians don't want a working Nigeria

Hmm I agree, but if Nigeria works it's for the betterment of everybody in the society

[quote author=Ajagunakin post=124017439]Haters of good governance. Why do you want to injure all Nigerians with a candidate that takes advice from a mad man. We have verified that you people are not well, continue.

The difference between Peter Obi and Charles Soludo is as wide as china to Anambra, one can't compare a man you takes advice from mad men to an economist

, I'm not referring to governance at just the presidential level, also the elections are over. I'd appreciate if you don't derail the thread with political parties banters. Thanks

It's very confusing when the masses(people at the bottom of the chain) defend politicians that are meant to serve the people, it's okay if there good works are being commended and it will be glaring because people will see and feel it, but why do people defend those that have meted hardship on them? It's understandable if some people are being paid to do this, but I'd like to know what the others stand to gain.

In fairness, a guy earning 30 k is not likely to own a car or a generator.

Yes, but the government has failed to provide stable electricity and good transport system/network so how will this person survive? Without a generator at least, let's forget car

Nothing new, Nigerians are used to suffering

Oblitz:
it could be that Putin doesn't want to take responsibility for using nuclear weapons. Wagner will now stylishly take control and unleash nuclear weapons. and Putin cannot be held responsible.
it may be planned work

Use nuclear weapon on who? their plan is to subdue the Russian army

Shattuck:
I doubt if Wagner group can win a fight against Russia

Naa they can't, they'd capture Yevgeny Prigozhin and that'll be the end

Two days in Amsterdam and I was done. I already booked ICE (Inter City Express) train ticket from Amsterdam to Berlin Germany.
Back in the hotel, I kept myself busy with a bottle of original Jack Daniel's. I have missed the stuff a lot, not that I don't see them in Nigeria but I am afraid to drink or eat some stuff back home. Our people are usually more interested in making profits rather than importing original things.

At about 10 am, I checked out of the hotel, trecked to the Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena Train Station and boarded my train to Berlin. It was going to be a long ride, so booked first Klass earlier.

Sitting near the window, I observed the entire landscape along the way. Summer was just starting, the grass and trees were too beautiful.

It didn't take much time to cross to Germany since Holland is a small Country. From the border, the Deutschland became familiar. The memories started coming back. Germany was the first country I lived in Europe. As we got to Oberhausen Train Station, I recalled that it was the first City I lived for a week when I nearly arrived in Germany. It was there that my Globalruns Journey started.

I arrived Berlin around 4 pm and headed straight to IBIS HOTEL in Ku'dam area near the Berlin Zoo Garden. I booked an apartment in Neukoln area back from Nigeria but since I arrived a day earlier, I had to get a hotel room for a night. I chose to go to Berlin because that was the city I lived in and operated from back in 2004/5. Berlin was where I had many friends, it was very easy to chose Berlin. Berlin is the capital of Germany too.

After I settled down, I made few calls and an hour later, few people were already waiting for me in the hotel reception. It was time to go look around town.

Berlin central station 🔥

Yevgeny Prigozhin is biting the hands that fed him

It's not really how much Naira exchanges for Dollar that matters. What's important is everybody getting it at the same rate.

Strong Naira is not desirable for an economy that does not export much things.

Most ignorant Nigerians want to consume only imported goods and yet want strong Naira. Ko le work!

I don't think everyone can seamlessly get it at the same rate from a bank, except it is sufficient, but the black market will always be available at a higher rate

Procashtips:
And you do not know this?

You see Africans.

I accept your point that there are good African countries(Egypt, Kenya e.t.c), but I am referring to Nigeria in this case, where 247 electricity is still a luxury, and some other low quality problems that you wouldn't face in Europe

Procashtips:
You have not traveled or haven't been observing things

How can you claim almost everybody is comfortable in Europe?
Ever heard of Portugal?
Northern part of Cyprus?
And a host of other countries?

There are at least more than 15 countries some African countries are better than in Europe, do not let the media deceive you.

You need to read deeper if you cant travel to understand that a veil is being used to cover the reality everywhere.

Okay, no need to prolong the talk. I live in Europe by the way 😁

Procashtips:
Everybody must be very rich or at least comfortable in Europe then.

Not rich, but almost everybody here is comfortable - well designed good roads, efficient and cheap transport system, shelter and food for homeless people, unemployment benefits, parks and sports training facilities in close proximity to residential area and so on.

headboyprince:
you want to compare Europe where everything works to a useless country like Nigeria. you're so stuppid... dont know where that audacity to always compare nigeria whenever this useless APC implements a useless policiy with europe came from, like the difference between Nigeria and Europe is like from the ground to the sky... Dont even go there...

don't mind him, the European society that was built to satisfy every social class

Electricity that's not 247?

The people are no longer with n-power?

Agugbadin:
Is ok if they are in their,country but for you an African to live in the street of other country, it is worrisome.

No. There are homeless people from Eastern Europe, The Middle East here in Western countries

ednut1:
Yet people are still trying to cross the boat from libya

Because others have crossed and found their foot here

What's the aim of this video actually? Because there are homeless white on the streets that are also begging in Europe

Electorate:
You are already used to suffering na, so defend Tinubu while you continue suffering. would you have said this if it wasn't your candidate in power? nonesense.

The elites/political class don't even suffer with Nigerians, I don't know why Nigerians don't like to hold their leaders accountable, he/she is their to serve the people

Psady:
Any policy meant for the good of the masses is a welcome idea, if we like let's keep suffering ourselves by inflating the prices of goods and commodities for our selfish interest.This new government is here to work,before a new elected official will implement a policy on assumption of office,it's crystal clear he has a clear study of the good impacts on the nation.lets not be confused by these naysayers,they will keep painting it so bad to undermean this new government but we know their plan, their wailing has only been geared up .
President Tinubu is here to serve us all,and we will see the good results in no later .

I'm curious, how is this meant for the good of the masses? Nigerians don't have constant electricity, many are underpaid at work so how will a policy like this favour people?

Hello, is there anyone living in Hanover who could give an idea on the cost of accomodation for two - my wife and I?

I requested for accommodation reservation from the university of Hanover and I was given the attached but I think it's a bit on the high side. Besides, I don't know how much the VAT will be.

I was thinking i could get an accomodation for the two of us within Eur 600.

Please, I will appreciate your comments on how to get budget-friendly accommodation

This is budget friendly, to be honest

Savagethe21st:
