EreluRoz: The present problem Nigeria is facing started from when Jonathan lost his reelection, they did a lot of damages you can ever imagined before leaving office as part of their revenge, Buhari came and couldn't fix it but added to it and here we are today.
Don't just argue this with me
My dear friend, I respectfully beg to differ. I remembered quite vividly that i was sent on lots of missions in Nigeria between 2000 and 2014.I know a lot about your country, that you don’t know. First of all, Buhari was grossly incompetent. He had no business being a community leader, let alone a president of the most populous black nation on earth with lot of intelligentsia. Secondly, he was surrounded by sycophants and charlatans like himself, who couldn’t see the difference between politics and the delivery of good governance to its citizens. The accusations and counter accusations that riddled his administration was a calculated attempt to discredit the previous administration and to distract the citizens from realizing what would’ve been their right to demand answers to his incompetence. Jonathan was not a saint by any stretch of imagination. But he was a more empathetic leader. The stealing and killing under Buhari’s leadership was uniquely sordid. There were very powerful people who were determined to sabotage Jonathan’s government and they did. And because he was Lilly- livered, he didn’t have the balls to do the needful. Nigeria is a very unique country. When someone of one of the major tribes is in power, regardless of how incompetent and corrupt he is, his fellow tribal men and women will always rally around him with support, as it was with Buhari and with the present leader. The Jonathan’s story doesn’t fly. You know it, I know it and everyone knows it.
EreluRoz: She's somehow right but nairaland is not the best place to have reasonable discussion.
Women are not created to provide, it is against their nature, it makes them become masculine and vulnerable to other men. It takes a strong and well disciplined woman to provide and still remain faithful, well, not much of such women exist these days.
Men should learn to be traditional and provide, stop stressing your women and putting them in vulnerable position to other men.
This might be true to a significant extent. But there have been situations that the man provides financially, emotionally and have truly been there through and through for his family and yet, the woman still cheats. How does one explain that?
Show me where Jesus preached about himself to the 5000 he fed or the rich ruler who came to him?
Act 1: 8 Jesus himself instructed his followers what responsibility they should take on. That Bible account also relates how the resurrected Christ supported his followers to carry out the preaching and teaching commission. Remember Saul of Tarsus who later became Apostle Paul? Christ blinded him, while he was on his way to Damascus to persecute Christ’s followers. Let me know if you need additional information on this subject.
Yes he did. Acts of Apostles 8:5 : Now Philip went down to the city of Sa·marʹi·a and began to preach the Christ to them. So yes the early disciples preached preached about Jesus. Our salvation is impossible without having a relationship with him. He is the truth, the way and the life.
emorse: This is exactly what I say to those who support this administration blindly. Elections are over. Commend them when they do well and call them out when they don't. The next 3-8 years are at stake here.
PS: You misunderstood my earlier comment.
And I apologize for that. That write up was for @ paraman the original poster. Thanks for understanding.
emorse: Some of these guys are struggling to justify their choice in the last elections. Lately I had to remind one that elections are over and if we're not careful, we'll lose the next four/eight years of our lives.
You are absolutely correct. Elections are over. I am not a Nigerian, even though I have my ancestry traced back there. That’s a plausible statement to make. Elections are over, but you’re living with the consequences of electing a leader who’s not in touch with modern times and realities. Let me quickly remind you again that the minimum wage is N30K. So don’t even make any attempt to deflect the subject in question. You have families and friends who are struggling so terribly to feed and pay bills. And I can assure you that most of those individuals voted for Tinubu. Right or wrong , they made their choices and I respect that. Does that make Tinubu pro- people leader? If Atiku or Peter Obi had won the elections, can you be truthful and honest that you wouldn’t criticize him if he had increased the tariff? That tells me there’s something creepy about your support for this government. And it’s not even in the overall interest of the nation. It’s either you’re a tribalist or a religious fanatic, who sees nothing wrong in criticizing a leader simply because he doesn’t shares the same tribe or religious faith with you. And may I remind you gentleman that poverty, hunger and starvation are alien to tribe and religion. When you think about Nigeria and Nigerians and not the president, then we can have an original thought to share.
Paraman: Power supply is so cheap in Nigeria. No wander Nigerians are not complaining about the increase in price for people in Band A
@ Paraman, how will civil servants with minimum wage of N 30k afford this ? That the real question that we should discuss. The last time I checked, N30K is still the minimum wage. Tinubu should also be swift in approving increment in the minimum wages. If and when people have more money to spend, that wouldn’t be much of an issue. Until then, stop being a clown. You can still support the government and criticize them when necessary. You live among the poorest of the poor. I am sure you have relatives and friends who are struggling to eat . Do you not feel for them? Or you prefer to extol your oppressors. That’s called Stockholm syndrome.
okoliobinna84: For those that are not familiar, it is Initialism for posterior capsular opacification
Wrong.

APOPTOSIS: Before this era, women never fought over such. Those days wives would encourage their husbands to pick more ladies as wives and get them off the streets but see what we have in our hands today... See what a wrongly adopted Feminism has caused. This was never a problem before at all.
Today men are becoming Gays😭😭 The worst is many are spending their entire lifetime as as bachelors because they can't keep up with empowered and disrespectful ladies while our daughters are roaming the streets confused with cucumbers in their handbags
Glimpsetv: A woman has been filmed cleaning the bodies of extremely large fish by the busy roadside. The size of the fish is quite unusual and has raised questions on the internet about what kind of fish this could be.
However, some people have asserted that this particular species of fish is unique and very expensive, called the blue marlin, worth $2.6 million.
Well, this claim isn't yet verified. Would you eat this kind of fish? Feel free to let us know your thoughts on this in the comment section.
I hate going to the markets, I don't have the patience to start bargaining anything. When i see those sellers I don't feel the need to bargain, my sympathetic nature will take over me and I'll end up squandering money.
I wish everyone can be happy
You have lot of empathy. Will you please marry me??
Rexymania: It's obvious you don't know about BRICS... They sell their crude in their own currency, whilst strengthen their currency
Sir, Selling your crude in your currency is not the problem. But how does that strengthen the currency? Can you explain that? Or am I missing something here? The last time I checked, Nigeria is an import dependent economy? What BRIC Nation will accept Nigerian naira when Nigeria is importing stuff? Most of the weapons used in Nigeria for security and defense purposes are sourced from the US. Will America also accept naira as the trade currency when selling their weapons?You sell your oil in naira, and use the proceeds to import goods from the west in usd/ pounds/euro. What business sense does that make?? I may not have all the details, but I know one thing for sure: No BRIC nation is currently comfortable aligning with China who happens to be the biggest economy in the so called BRIC committee of nations. Everyone feels that they’ve been given the shorter end of the stick, since China’s objective isn’t even about trade, but political and military supremacy. Nigeria might actually do well to reconsider its stance before joining BRIC.In my opinion, it portends economic woes in the coming years. I will explain more when you offer your views. Thanks.
blazer2018: Hi guys, please I really need your help.
I have a twelve years old son who is very lanky, he looks d*mn too malnourished for comfort. He was very robust from birth till around the age of 8, when all of a sudden he started depreciating, initially, we thought it was a normal thing, as he was growing taller too, but now, I can't even bring myself to post his pictures on my status. He looks just like 7up's Fido Dido.
Now, this is a boy who eats whatever he wants, he's well fed, and lacks nothing. But with his looks, you will doubt that he's even fed at all. Although he looks far from being healthy, but he rarely falls sick. He's so skiny that whoever sees him, asks us what's wrong with him. Another thing, he always leaves his mouth opened, something that has now affected his teeth. We tried every tricks in the book to stop this, but to no avail, he can hardly keep his lips shut for more than 30 seconds.
Now, he's is a very hyperactive boy and finds it difficult concentrating atimes, but he's well above average in school.
Kindly help with solutions to this problem, it brings tears to my eyes as we have done everything we can think of to reverse this. Recently, a doctor suggested we place him on egg regimen, he now eats 3 eggs daily, but there seems to be no changes whatsoever. Recommended medications, specialist or hospital we can take him to, preferably in the South West would be highly appreciated.
He's my only child, please help a desperate father!!!🥺
Ops,
Your child might be suffering from Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency) – This condition causes insufficient secretion of hormones from the adrenal cortex, which can cause weight loss I am not by any stretch of imagination giving you a definitive diagnosis of your son’s medical condition., But it’s important that you see a pediatrician who’s experienced with this type of cases, possibly in a university college hospital where you have different professionals. I am sorry about your situation. As a father, I know it must be really difficult for you. A proper diagnosis is essential. Once he’s properly diagnosed, then the right treatment or management plan can be administered. He’ll be okay eventually.
The benefits of the internet is so numerous that any society not actively deploying it is left behind in this global village economy.
This data perhaps explains why fake news is more prevalent in those regions in those regions of Nigeria with poor internet use to investigate and confirm if what they heard or shared with them as 'news' is true or false.
But for Rivers state, the whole of the defunct old Eastern region of Nigeria would have been completely missing on the list of top 10. Delta used to be substantially part of old Western region and later part of Mid-west.
I am profoundly proud of the Southwest in terms of how it is increasing its use of ICT and the state Governors must do more. I am not surprised about Kano, they are to the North what Lagos is to the whole of West Africa. Katsina is the one that pleasantly surprised me. This is one of those great times you get good news from Katsina.
Please invest in Lagos today if you love Lagos, the owners of the land and you want great returns on investment and the best investor friendly experience in Africa!

nairalanda1: Okay, Nigeria has 123 trillion dollars in it's forex reserve and one naira is equal to 5 dollars.
I guess you are happy now.
Wild and cheap talk. 123 trillion in forex reserve. lol. Does Nigeria mint dollars?? I don’t know where you got this figures from, but please stop misinforming the public. Thanks.
nairalanda1: Yeah, and replaced by another government that will pay subsides to the max on borrowed money, and then we would be in real trobule and tribulation pretty soon.
90% of income on debt servicing , 4bn forex. Partly due to decades of subsides.
If you had read my previous comments about Mr Tinubu during the times leading up to the general elections, I’ve never been his fan, not then and not now. But the truth be told, Buhari’s administration did damages that will take years or perhaps decades to repair if it ever will. The humongous loans that the then senator kept on approving and its interest are one of the things the Nigerians are reeling through.And there no economic benefit tied to these huge loans that Nigerians are paying for. Buhari was the most clueless and Buffonic president Nigeria ever has. In all honesty, I truly doubt if any of the presidential candidates would have done much to change the current narratives.The hardship in Niger republic also means that most foods cultivated from the north will be shipped there with very high profit margin to the farmers and traders. To make any meaningful and lasting impact in Nigeria now, security challenges in the north and middle belt must first be addressed. Most food Nigerians consume comes from the north, and Tinubu understands that the security challenges in the Northern part of the country has both Political and religious underpinnings. He’s now between the devil and deep blue sea. Deal with Boko boys and bandits( arrest/ prosecution/or even outright execution) and forfeit your 2nd term since northern elders and arewa will see that as an assault on them, or let them have a free rein and more hardship for northern farmers which translates to more hardship for Nigerians. Tinubu is clueless. His ministerial appointments has proven that. The appointment of Cardozo as CBN chief also exemplifies his cluelessness. The situation is almost hopeless. I hate to say this, but it’s the truth.
What would piss me off is if the Tinubu regime does not have an end game that will make those buying dollars and stocking it up, shed bitter tears of regret in the near term.
Even as a layman, I know series of actions I can take that would make cash dollars start appearing in refuse dumps in Nigeria as they would have become so useless to those stocking it up outside of the banking system, while those who have them in their domiciliary accounts will be offloading them within the approved banking currency exchange the sooner they get foreign remittances only into such accounts.
shadrach77: I think detaining the lady is in order. It sounds like she is trying to use her gender to gain advantage over her male colleagues. She knew what she was signing up for and complaints are meant to be dealt with internally not coming on social media to seek for public support
Harassing her sexually, and refusal to pay her salary for months is also in order. Are you alright?? So because she’s a female, she should be treated like an outcast. Interesting !!!!
chidiokay: You can't just assume she is inconsiderate, there was a time i told my babe i was broke, infact i was broke for real, buh base on one or two gigs i was till able to maintain some lifestyle ... when i called her nd challenge her why she couldnt offer help, i got to know she was watching me and she deduce these one wey still dey get drink for fridge, On gen down no need help
Women are not wired to give boyfriends money, exceptions to few
Nigerian women are leeches. I’ve dated girls from other nationalities and they are completely different
jogojogo: So he must talk about the hardship and get it changed? Is that why you have dagger in your hand? What should he be saying? Nigerians are dying Dollar is 2000 naila There's hunger in the land Tinubu has failed?? What exactly?? Get out here
It’s not my problem. The Joke is on you and your man of God. Why has he suddenly gone dumb? The energy he used in criticizing Jonathan’s government was good. I applauded it. Then life wasn’t even this terrible in the country. So what changed? The only way the heavens can stand by tou is by being honest. Adeboye is a charlatan. When he begins to speak truth to power and be honest in his dealings, we will all see. Kiss the truth.
Angelfrost: You people are either dull or just hate this man for no reason.
This is not even a prayer!
This is a sad reality of today... The prayer is for God to help and prosper you to the point that you become a lender to nations, and not a borrower.
The great man is not praying that people become poor.
You can’t spin the narrative. Go back and read the tweet. He wasn’t speaking German. He tweeted in English. If he was inspired like most of his followers claim, why was the tweet deleted? If the message came from God, why not stood by it. It means that he wasn’t proud of his message. That’s understandable. I don’t judge him. But telling lies in the name of God is very dangerous. Also I see a lot of hypocrisy in that man. Was he not the same man the vigorously campaigned for Jonathan’s ouster as President in 2012? When his God-son became VP, life was unbearable during that eight years. Did he say anything at anytime to condemn government actions or a lack of it? Now Tinubu is president and things are no different, has he said anything about the hardship and insecurity in the country? He’s a tribal bigot, a liar and hypocrite. Period. !!!!
