Mega City of empty houses, for Agama lizards and security gatemen.

They cannot hide proceeds from procurement scams in banks so they launder it in buildings, since the purchase of property and building materials is not monitored.

Some freshly employed graduates do "meet me at junction", whenever you want to visit them, so as to avoid explaining how they own flats in high brow areas.

They claim it is for their children's future; children that will eventually disappear abroad, and not give a damn.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our minds.

It's shocking how health issues occur, immediately EFCC comes Knocking!!!

"Yam-Eating" has side-effects on the health. High blood pressure and diabetes are common in Abuja in the "yam" clique.

Send to GEJ that you predicted would win 2015 presidential election. Oniro jatijati

I am aware that GEJ's victory was on the condition that he visits SGMJ Village, Ibadan. I am also aware that MKO Abiola was given the same condition, but he did not comply.

Even coconut oil was converted to BioDiesel in Bougainvillea, Papua New Guinea.

Foreign schooled n bred Nigerians appear worse than locals. NOI and this 'Shark' are proofs.

Many of them return to Naija to do things they dare not try abroad, because they see Nigeria as a zoo!
In some cases, their school fees may have been paid from a similar activity.

johnydon22:
Hahahahahaha This is a load of poetic eloquent and creative nonsense, it was also a good read though

Some call it Afro-Futurism. I call it Afro-Pre-History

What are our laws on Tax havens? FIRS, can you explain?

BlackBaron:
Some impoverished defenders would soon start jumping in via the tiniest crevices to support a crook who made sure of they and their families underdevelopment.

The "He is Our Son" defenders are in Kwara as well?

oyb:
this is why pakos have issues in corporate environment - they have absolutely no idea of basic etiquette

Now I understand why a certain company had problems from its founding staff, and is now having to organise etiquette seminars for its entire staff.

Not directed at you personally, but at us Nigerians who never see the good:


Shame on you all for mocking Nollywood. Go and watch American[b] special effects from 50s, 60s, 70s and even 80s[/b] and see how bad they were.

Our film industry is young, nascent, operating with a little budget. And all you can do is mock it constantly. It's just the same way we mock our Aba made things.

Instead of supporting Nigeria with heart and might, we always mock our country. We should be proud of what we have, support it, acknowledge that it can be better, and encourage it to be better.

We rather take the easy route and mock ourselves, supporting other people who have had their own struggles before us. Smh


All I can say is: "at first they laugh, then they fight, then you win..."

Well said!
We have to start from somewhere, so that we can be challenged to improve. I am not a fan of Nollywood, but I like their guts to finally do something different. I remember when people were laughing at made-in-Taiwan.

jude33084:
Be prepared for court case.

And for you to even commend such is even more worrying

More legal jobs for our SANs

adeyemi2015:

Is he really a failure?! I doubt it! Wait until he fixes it, you gonna join to sing-praise him!
He's fighting a war behind the Stage for you and I to enjoy surplus and affordable petrol in the nearest future!

Not that he is a failure. But IPMAN predicted this fuel scarcity since January.

It is an audacious attempt at doing something different. They should continue. It will stimulate others to do something better. Once somebody suceeds, everybody will rush in and copy, and all Nollywood will do will be based on the entire animal kingdom; Python Girl, Bushbaby Boy, AgamaLizard Man, etc.

[size=14pt]why everything in Africa is always made with woods?.....can't y'all make the hoverboard with the same materials used by the British?[/size]

Even some skateboards were once made of wood. Synthetics is for mass production.

Technology is an emanation of the Culture of a People. People who have no Culture, cannot have their own Technology.

Abductions continue

This will help deter public officers/civil servants from "doing their own". They now see that records of those who "did their own" can be made public, rather than be covered up for "the deed has been done".

Give who,awa la koba yin ni.

Honestly speaking, it annoys me that it easier for a Naija woman to get British Passport, than Saudi Passport, upon all the forex we spend on Hajj. Is that not slavery? Our women should be getting citizenship benefits from the forex we spend there.

TaiKuun:
see how this one is talking like a fool

Nigerian Govt is good. At least a Saudi woman can get our Nigerian Passport.

witorwitoutyou:
Y re we so happy about dis,shld we call dis gender equality or civilization or what?smh
When Quran had describe d females as a rare specie..come to Saudi and it's environs,hardly will u c female roaming on d street,let alone of doin menial jobs,evrytin is catered for dem with ease
Well,as 4 me,dis is not somtin we celebrate,it's a sign of bad govt,bad policies,SMH

Why can't they give Nigerian women Saudi Citizenship to ship them over there and cater for them?
Nigerian Women go there for pilgrimages every year and yet they can never get the Saudi Passport. Is it a good policy of a good govt?

baby124:
Female discrimination is not an African thing. It was introduced by Europeans. Mind you, your great grand mother's were probably more capable than this.

Very true. African women are re-starting from square one.

We need to redefine our educational system to meet the needs, resourced, demands and capacity. What happened to our Technical Colleges? Why can I not go to a School of Design or a School of Music?

Why does everyone Nigerian Youth have to go to a University to have a future?

onoja12:
Number 3 is quite far from the truth,the united state does not fund universities,universities are self funded and the fees are expensive,the cost of formal education in Nigeria is not realistic and if you try to increase it there would be problems with the union.formal education is not cheap in fact it is a business on its own

Very true. In addition, the average US citizen aspires to College, not University. And they have to take students' loans that they will be struggling to repay. Nothing like State Bursary.

Everyday, abduction of teenage and adult females. We need an agency for the Prohibition of Abduction of Girls.

Quakertellicus1:
One of the first signs of a healthy economy is the government's willingness to fight corruption.

So that foreign investors can come into the country and do their business without worrying about having to pay bribe to some fat Alhaji or Chief in the requisite Department.............

I know of a foreign seismic oil service company that parked up and left the country, because corruption long before the Haliburton Scandal.

henrydadon:
another south african company .and u guys will be hating on them.. ..abeg which Nigerian business dey SA?..where are the entrepreneur in nigeria any way..

There are two Nigerian Big supermarkets in Abuja Central Area: SahadStores and GrandSquare. Spar is the 3rd Big supermarket there (They are UK Indians).

As for Nigerians in Big Supermarket business, I do not know why we do not fare well in it.

Sahad is another Wuse Market.
GrandSquare is too obsessed with security, and caters mostly for expatriate requirements.

Both of them are opposite extremes. Spar is in the middle.

IndianBwoy:
I'm Indian and I think I must stay away from Nigerian women now.


My juju pass ur own sef. So dont try this ken shyts with me.


This Jagan is a cheap mugu. E no get common sense.

And that lady na ashewo Dubai types.

These people lack sense or culture .

It is the Ashewo Dubai types that I see foreigners fall for.
A rule of thumb: the more Churchy-Mosquy they are during the day, the more something else they are during the night.

Our colonial masters have taught us to hate anything of Black African origin with regards to Spirituality. So we are trying to advance in self-rejection.

Our Gods are Imported, Our Goods must be Imported, Our Jobs must be exported.

No Knowledge of Self, No Knowledge Economy.

Nigeria cannot do Software Industry, because our Gods are White Supremacist Imported.

IndianBwoy:
Advait math started in 19th century. Most of these m.o.G's are frauds.

And maharajji s teachings are nonsense. Follow pure undiluted animism . Not this prophetic cra.p cults.

Im sorry then i am mistaken . But you hella lot sound like him.


Sure thanks.

I think Animism is an evolution of The Path of the Masters.

tpiar:
So, all the celebrities who of recent have been showcasing themselves in red, are they his devotees?

Just curious.

I do not think they are his devotees. Red has always been a favourite colour in some Nigerian cultures. For example, we have red cap Chiefs in the South Eastern Nigeria. Some say Blue was Royal in European context, but if you check up Blue Blood is Black Blood by Suriname-Dutch Egmond Codfried, he will explain the etymology of the word 'blue' in the context of Royalty.

IndianBwoy:
No thats bulshyt and Maharajji is a fraud . Sorry to say. Sanskrit never ever originated in Igboland.

I think i recognize you. You were on my facebook account and I unfriended you once.

Are you saying that the entire Advait Mat lineage should be doubted? The Maat ancient egyptian teaching evolved to Advait Mat through Ethiopia to India.

I have never opened a Facebook account, I more into the "Inner Net".

Anyway, we can continue with your topic.
I have to go for now.
