Villagesquare:
Make them free this guy abeg. Telegram has helped millions of people all over the world financially. His impact is more than what France has done for its West African Francophone in decades.

What is your source for this claim?

Lies.
We all know Biden ordered the attack since he is in charge of ISIS
Biden should man up and claim responsibility.

santaclaws:
Obasanjo was one of the most inefficient presidents this country ever produced. He couldn't even fix Lagos-Ibadan express road, neither did he fix Ota road, a federal road in his own state...

Yet baba's achievement is "bringing GSM to Nigeria" as if he owns the telcos that came to invest...

Inefficient?

As someone said above, even if APC goons has 100 years, they can't match OBJ's achievement.

Before you hurriedly reply.
Kindly check Nigeria's economic stats before 1999 and then after 2007.
Yes, contrary to what most of you think, the primary job of the president is not to commission roads
which in case of Nigeria expires between 4 to 8 years.

More impressively, nothing happened to OBJ during his time, he made things happen.

worksmart:
Abacha was accused unfairly of looting by Obasanjo and the anti-Abacha propaganda has continued ever since.

Economic performance and other numerous achievements of his government during a period Nigeria was under pressure of sanctions and oil prices as low as about $10 per barrel should tell you he was honest and patriotic.

Kids everywhere.

In case of next time, when you make a claim, adults expect you to back it up
with evidence.

Useless political jobber.
When did you know it would be a calamity?

Unfortunately, Nigeria doesn't execute criminals.

uuzba:
Indians is like 2nd hand white man.
They still get paid dollars but not as high as Europeans.
Then Nigerians are left to protest and complain online.

Not even third-hand white man.
Take an indian gateman.
It is not about dollar but the specific amount.
How much dollar do you think an Indian gatekeeper earns per month?
He isn't any richer than an equivalent gateman in India.
But why would a profit-driven business prefer him over a Nigerian?
Because he is less likely to join a criminal clique of saboteurs/thieves as he has
little to no indigenous links.

And most of these so-called menial job "expatriates" are not living in luxury as many think.
When the Dangote refinery was being constructed, most of them locked down inside
the facility and forced to work day and night in very stressful conditions.
You didn't hear about it because they are not Nigerians.
If they were Nigerians headlines such as "Dangote keep youths as slaves" would have littered
many front pages of newspaper.

Omoapena:
We have many qualified engineers that studied abroad but you see African employers, they just want to show themselves and that's why they employe expatriates.


Can you imagine dangote refinery being head by an Indian and this same Indian is now recruiting only indians for the refinery all because he said he can't work with Nigerians...

African employers who want to show themselves recruit Europeans and Americans not Indians.
Any Nigerian employee you see employing Indians is primarily motivated for financial reasons.
That is, it is cheaper on the long run to employ them.

iwaeda:
Lagos template, actually most of the players in Lagos are not indigenes and making empty noise.

So who are the current players that are not indigenes?

Mexico

saphiere:
They are showing me India PayU. Secondly I do not have an account number with them Just confused.

Google PayU Nigeria customer care.
They have a page/contact form and email for Nigeria specifically.


If they can't solve your issue, you would have to contact Whatsapp customer care.

Google PayU customer care.

iLegendd:
Officers, politicians and co. are still the people doing the smuggling. It's sad how corruption will never let us progress as a collective.

Oyibo people really destroyed Africa with freedom and democracy. In those days, when catching a thief was through voodoo, terrible things hardly happen.

We can still achieve greatness and less to zero corruption like Singapore with technology. Sadly, the Nigerian man operating those techies will still end up being compromised.

You mentioned Singapore?
Have you considered the ethnic composition of Singapore
and the sacrifices that Singaporean made to excel.

madridguy:
Failure of our past and present leaders. Imagine a country as big as this with no good borders and effective custom officers.

Good border is a myth.
Good neighbours make good borders.
Even the US struggle with Mexico border illegal activities despite billion dollar budget.
As long as money is to be made, smugglers will flourish.

HitRun:
She claims she, her brother, and her mother (one of the wives of the late emir) weren’t given a part of the emir’s estate upon his demise.

This sounds like a lie! Can this be true in Islam? I find this hard to believe.

So, you think Islam is a person that enforce law?
People, not ideology enforces law and are prone to bias.

Go get a job!

nairalanda1:
The kidnappers took good care of him

Thing is, kidnappers do not want their victims to die. If they died on them, that's a loss of money for them.

Like the emir who died in captitivity in Sokoto...sure they freed his son for N60 Million. It would hav ebeen more if papa was alive...like over N100 million.

Generally, forest-kept kidnap victims don't look like that after a long period of time.
Sure, the kidnappers want them alive but not in luxury as that would come with higher
risks due to logistics of getting the food.

Impure water, poverty-level food is not ideal for the body.

I will credit his good genes if captivity didn't really change him both physically
and medically.

Veste:
I'm still regretting why I am married . 90% of Nigerian women these days are not worthy to be called wives. Stay single if you can, or better get a child out of wedlock.

No one forced you to get married.
And more importantly, divorce is not a crime.

BALLOSKI:
😂

Your IQ low.

That's what we do when we're overwhelmed. We appear to want to go on, but push for peace underground.

The only beneficiary of a continued war is Netanyahu. Once the war is over, he'd face his people back home.

Who is this imbe cile?
Nairaland continue to amaze me in the number of confident retards it could throw in one's face.

What do I know, you may even be the smartest person in your clique.

Your infantile attempt to psychoanalyse is embarrassing if only you could comprehend
what you typed.

But I won't let you get away without some basic education.
In a negotiation, the party that drags their feet the most and change their
minds multiple times to stall is the stronger and have the least to lose.

yinkus6750:
Finally .
Hope it becomes realistic in the shortest possible time.
70km road shouldn't take up to a year to reconstruct

It is all about funding.

hmm

It would be foolish to believe the kidnappers.
Why would they expose their business partner?
It is more likely that the Boza in question is being set up because he is
a thorn in the flesh of the bandits.

Throwback:
Nigeria is not rich enough to waste funds like that.

Una don tar road finish or generate enough electricity?

If dem like make dem press wetin pass charges, the commonwealth would not be wasted on frivolous claims of greedy citizens like it is done abroad.

Even in the so-called abroad, mostly US, you would have to prove negligence on the part of the driver
and the complainant must also show that the accident negatively impacted their livelihood such as loss
of job or body function.

As for Europe, the chance of getting a dime specifically for a public utility accident is close to zero
in most cases.

NOC1:
I swear if na abroad, this is huge money for them. Some will get over 300k Dollars if they press charges outside the compensation

I know some will doubt this, the least you will be paid per month is 3k per month and it goes for 2 years. Multiply across 24months

Village people everywhere.
Well, you are free to dream as you wish.

libvrithy:
See Chinese company, these ones too can get settlement. But maybe they have to use foreign courts

They can't use foreign court.
They have no contract with the government.
In fact, the government may decide not to pay any compensation.

Another dullard.
Why don't you give us the "outrageous" number.

mrvitalis:
We are talking about a whole zone one of the just 6 zones we have

The zone that produce the most lawyers according to recent stats and you think that's normal?

The current number of lawyers is irrelevant.

Since CJN is based on seniority in the supreme court.
The question you should ask yourself is how many Igbos have been
skipped from becoming the CJN when they happen to be the most senior on the bench.

That would help you see the true states of things.

jazzman7711:
Shut your DIRTY lips.

EVERYTHING HE SAID IS 2000% TRUTH.

Name ONE thing he said that is not true.

Go find a better job.
Youtube propaganda is obviously not working for you.

Good
Not surprised.
Anyone raised in Nigeria would have seen examples of very poor people managing to give to poorer ones.
I supposed it is a cultural thing.

If that were remotely true.
Netanyahu will be begging for a peace deal but he is the one stalling.

Another dump content creation approach.
How can you justify your anti-west position using a nonentity US professor?
