That's your ignorance to deal with. Don't read my writing go and read the full speech of the president away from your biase envy or hate for him. That's if in some sense You are not more concern about cheap likes online than the truth.

What's your point exactly? Is social media the cause of the Fulani herdsmen terrorists raiding of communities that is directly causing Famine in the land?

Did social media embezzle billions meant to power?

Is social media the one inflating and padding our national budgets?

Or is Twitter responsible for all the abandoned projects in Nigeria?

You people will leave real issues that is destroying this country and be chasing shadows. Shame on you all.

Posterity will be unkind to you all.

TeDesQ:
I disagree

When people no longer have strong grip over controlling people, they feel threatened.

It's control freaks that would have such ìdeologies seeing that massive amount of people they once had as captives are no longer captives of their ìdeologies and control.


The world will continue to be a free place for people and will never return to an era where people are dominated and controlled people by fiat

It's control freaks that need to develop restraint and control themselves

So apt!

Social media has changed lives and still changing lives for good. You can get a job, or even go into partnership with foreigners. And you all make money together. This old generation are fighting a lost cause.

Today there are Jobs like telegram moderators for foreign groups that pay insane money. Anyone qualified candidates can take it up. No college degree requirements, No gender, No colour, No age barrier.

I spent five years getting a degree (4years program+ plus 1year ASUU strike) only for Gtbank and co to tell me that I'm above entry level age requirement. And Social media gave us opportunity to earn money and these bastards are not happy. This man should face his church and private jets and let the youths survive the way they can.

Anyone working to take away the only freedom we have will die miserably. I'm happy the youths are far ahead of them.

Sultty:
why did he even rented real guns when he can get better toy guns to play the part

Haba, the Hollywood we all like to watch na toy gun them dey use?

Rissamenti:
Another LAZY BUM.

You have no money, but you have money to donate to Nnamdi Kanu's millionare lifestyle in Europe.

If you are in hunger, how come you find data everyday to post on Nairaland?

Lazy man. No go hustle.

Manufacturing plant doesn't put food on people's table?

How DUMB can you be to say that?

Will the 5,000 employees of the place, plus the thousands of related new businesses that will support the factory all be working for charity?

Wait for Buhari to come and put food on your table, you hear?

Don't support initiatives that will boost employment & economic growth.

Lazy, useless people.

You're a miserable fellow for calling another man Lazy.

I repeat keep defending politicians. You will experience the Nigerian society one day.

Rissamenti:
We are alive. Stop relying on what you read in the media that overblows everything negative.

How many of us have been hurt, or personally know anyone that's been hurt in any violence?

Less than 1%, I'm sure.

Make we hear word abeg.

You're a clown. So you will wait until you lose your loved one before you raise a Voice. And what's even the rubbish video you posted? Since 2019? Does it seem to you like any meaningful thing is going on there?

Hunger na really bastard. Keep defending politicians. You will experience the carnage

Onuels:
Bros abeg educate us how to leverage on this with you

You go pay money make I teach you?

ObaKlaz:
No nation is without challenges. Nigerians are always eager to point back home with the left index finger, especially in the full glare of the international community.

Comments on Nairaland alone are enough to repel foreign investors! Nigeria is down already, as it is, but negative portrayals of the country such as this one, on international platforms do the already battered image of the country no favours.

Ghana ain't sh!t, but Ghanaians won't stop hyping and giving their country good PR.

The average Nigerian needs to be taught a thing or two about patriotism, while we try to fix our self-inflicted problems.

There's nothing to be patriotic about in Nigeria.

If people that earn all the money from our common wealth are not patriotic do you now expect patriotism from poor masses?

kcnwaigbo:
If dem born una well come to the South and claim grazing routes!!! Bunch of jokers!!

There's no grazing route in the south. Only Oyo state has a grazing route in the whole Southern Nigeria. Buhari is just a divisive slow poke.

Trust legislators to demand for bribe in exchange for her confirmation.

Baxilexi:
My take on the inflation and devaluation quandary has always been linked to the forex market.
The channels by which the FG has chosen to disperse this legal tender has created so much racketeering, which in turn fuels inflation.
How I see it.
FG decides to sell USD to a selected few at standard rate, these few in turn to another privileged few. Between one dealer and the next the dollar appreciates an artificial value and by the time it gets to the end user it’s always 30-35% it’s true value.
This in turn means that businessmen must factor the purchase value into their commodities as not all of the have access to various government instruments. This in turn increases the cost of a basket of food and alters the purchasing power parity.

It’s worse outside the country as Nigerians in diaspora watch the black market Abokifx rate to sell forex. I sincerely think Abokifx parallel market should be scrapped. They should advertise only CBN and BDC rates. Why? The CBN will always need to pump more Naira into circulation to purchase a fixed amount of dollars as it changes hands. Eg. 1 million dollars is supposed to be purchased at 412million naira, but the end user purchases it at 515million naira… who prints the artificial 103million naira?
I was once told this is due to demand and supply and I dare to say it is also due to the deregulation in the market and scarcity by hoarding.

The solution I believe is that, Individuals should have direct access to dollars via their bank apps, within limits of course ($1,000 per month) this would eradicate the inflators.
Form A, Form Q and other instruments for dollar acquisition, would still exist for persons in need to larger quantities.

Nigerian money merchants (similar to western union and moneygram) should be licensed and promoted, to help regulate the exchange rate.

So apt. But decision like this can only be taken by a leader with Ballz. They killed the economy immediately they made it difficult for people to access FX while giving a few access.

On a weekly basis CBN sells $20k to BDC who in turn sell at black market rate earning almost #100 spread for doing nothing.

The Nigerian Financial institutions don't know what's about to hit them.

They have nothing to offer the millennial generation. I can't imagine myself investing in Nigerian stock when I can buy stable crypto currency and do staking and lending on wault.finance, Ftx exchange and I can get almost 50% per annum. With the advantage of securing my investment in USD. So anything Emefiele like let him exchange Naira. millennial generation are ahead of him.

This is more reason people like Buhari, Lie Mohammed should be at home playing with their grandchildren. This current economy has no place for analogue leaders

Vaughanlanrewaj:
That is where you are getting it wrong. Garba is a full time politician who even contested, I am a socially conscious patriotic nationalist with support for those leaders who will build this nation for the good of everyone. I will oppose even a Yoruba who is trying to break Nigeria as much as a Christian killing Muslims. If you don't stand for something because you want to sit on the fence, things will go so bad that you will regret doing so. Our coporate culture is patriotism over profit. When people wake up to destroy what others have built, stand up. Today, it could be them , tomorrow it could be you. Online bullies almost dragged Nairaland to the dogs and made every thread toxic. I am a Nigerian and proud to be one, if you want to destroy my country or cause war in my fatherland, I will stand up for my fatherland, even ahead of profit.

Hehehehehehehe... You're not serious at all. So you're the one that will stop Nigeria from breaking?

You don't get to choose what is worth saving. People already built their brands on twitter over the years. Created jobs for themselves and the leaders you support thought it wise to destroy it.

Nigeria of today only exist to secure the luxurious lifestyle of the the same people you support. Take Nigeria away. And people like your president will cease to exist.

okotv:
Wait first, I don't get. People are happy an app that was created by a Nigerian was taken down by Google. Some folks even think it's a victory against the present government. Like we have all forgotten that Adamu Garba also ran against the present president in 2019. Buhari didn't force the app on anyone and so I don't see why all the fuss. The FG has moved to KOO except you want to report that app too.

Garba is a foolish entrepreneur. How do you pick up a fight with the same set of people you need to patronise your business? It's actually his loss.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Hahaha....Google just got dragged into the politics of hatred and bigotry against PMB. They better tread carefully. Croowe should take the genuine feedbacks and work on improving their product. Garba should remain focused, he should learn from Chief Mike Adenuga who lost his money to get a GSM license but today the proud owner of the 2nd biggest Telco in Nigeria. To destroy is easy so those lying to destroy his work are online bullies and blackmail. No sinner will go unpunished. The same fate await them; what they build with their sweat and tears and blood will also be destroyed. In life, you reap what you sow.visit www.freestuffsng.com to hunt for freebies.

You're also making same mistake Garba made. Keep your business profile out of politics. I don't see any sensible person here that will visit your site after spewing rubbish defending politicians

DavidAO:
Because it does not reflect the person of Christ. To believe in Jesus means to accept the life of Jesus and live that way. Do you think Jesus might join or support protests against the government? Do you think Jesus might be bothered by who rules the nation?

Also, as clearly show in Galatians 5:20, protest and other things of such against a lawful authority is a work of the flesh. A person in Christ mustn’t be entangled with such. If your reality has changed, then your reaction to things must change.

Slynation:
Mugus....just look at the people I share country with, backward, selfish and self centered around willing to jeopardize their fellow countrymen just for a meagre fee....!! Wahala for who still get hope for this country

I understand what you feel. But bear in mind that they are a product of the system. They are also victims. We're all victims. So let your anger be directed to the right class which is the ruling class for making us poor.

princemartinsG:
Henceforth it wil be extreme foolery for any state and their states Govt. to complain about being killed by criminal fulani herders or their farms being destroyed.

President Mohammed Buhari has particularly pointed out and directed that states Govt. should be alive to protect their people who made them Governors.

Any further killings now should be grossly blamed on the state Governors who we all know are always active towards state resources but refuses to take responsibility over the security of lives and properties of their states indigenes who made them governors

Na talk be this? Not supporting any rubbish governor but does any Governor has the constitutional backing to secure their respective states? Can any governor order a commissioner of police to take any action?

The kind of food scarcity that will hit Nigeria eh. This country will be too hot for these politicians that have everything to lose. They should keep romancing with insecurity

Dadaboy:
Good day Nairalanders..

I am in dire need of support from people who have travel experience.
When I say travel experience, I mean people who has relocated from Nigeria completely.

I will be 30 next month, single (have always hated the idea of marrying any lady in Nigeria because I have been unlucky with most of them i met as they seem complicated, inconsequential, dishonest and inexposed).

To make this short, I spent a lot of my youth working so hard to save enough money with the mindset to relocate from Nigeria as Nigeria depresses me alot.

I have been able to save nearly 20 million naira, excluding investments running in millions i wish to put on cargo to ship wherever I wish to relocate to.

Now, my problem is finding a suitable location or environment where i can relocate to without stress and problems.

Note that, I do not intend to work for anyone as I have my own skills.

United States, United Kingdom are out of my plans as I have realised their system are not built to favour me or my type of person and seem more like stress and a slavery environment to me.

I applied for Canada visa with hope to get work permit but has been on hold for months as they have been on lockdown since.

Having lived in South Africa before for a short while and felt like home there, I had it as an option but I am at crossroads, if I can have better suggestions from experienced people here.

Also, if anywhere in Europe is advisable (remember I do not wish to work for anyone except part time, in my field or if must require me to get a work visa)

Please I need advice.

Baba #20M is enough to be doing lending and Staking of stable crypto currency that can give you about 50% returns in a year without any real risk exposure. So without working again in your life you can have #10M annually while living in Nigeria.

Travel when you want to travel

Tell a lie long enough and hope it becomes the truth. Same old strategy

Look at people that are coming out to protest against the disintegration of Nigeria... Do they even understand the issues being discussed?

eduj:
those other region without police checkpoints every 2km, has rapists,hired killers and bandits taken over them?
you guys make it very difficult for sensible people to be heard Whenever it's the SE in question ,another standard is set.How many police checkpoints does one see from Lagos to osun state ? or from kaduna to Abuja ?

Don't mind them... South Easterners has always lived like conquered people. Those check points were extortion/profit centers.

If that's what the Unknown gun men has achieved then it's welcomed.

Borne the territory of Boko Haram never had the number of check point south east has had over the years.

A trailer conveying goods from Ebonyi to Portharcourt spends almost 300k on road expenses 90% goes to the security agents at every check point which is not more than 400km journey.


The same Trailer conveying goods from Benue to Zamfara spends less than 30k on road expenses which is about 900km journey

Freezby2020:
You are laughing now and praising the UNKNOWN GUN MEN, I pray you will not be victim of the unknown gun men, IJN.

Whn Boko Haram started with Mohammed Yusuf the founder of the cult and that TERRORIST group. Most Northerners especially, the Muslims among them, have SENCE of False security and inwardly happy when ever Churches or Christians were attacked. With the believe that the group will never touch them.

Fast forward to 2021, over 90%, of same Northern Muslims who thought Boko Haram TERRORISTS are for Christians and Southerners alone, can not visit and has not visited their States in more than 8 -10yrs.
They hid their families in ABUJA(the only city in the North that has sameblance of peace), LAGOS, SOUTH Western States. While the privileged ones among the elites hid their families abroad.

Much as I really don't like how the police extort and carried out it operations in most part of Nigeria, I guess they are still better that THUGS. SOMEONE SAID, "IF YOU HATE POLICE, TRY THUGS"

What is the lesson in all this, pray that there will be peace in Nigeria. SO THAT YOU TOO CAN HAVE PEACE

Nah... South Easterners has always lived like conquered people. Those check points were extortion/profit centers.

System202:
dialogue is the only way to stop this.

Dialogue how? The people should leave their land for foreigners?

harlee:
Hello,

Considering the high unemployment rate and many Nigeria wahala,what are the hopes of a ond holder who is still trying to get a degree through part-time schooling, all jobs now are degree required with many years experience, it's crazy.

Imagine being on a queue with MSC holders in an interview..

Bro, just learn anything that can earn you a living online. Take that decision today and you will be happy for it in a year or two.

Nigerian economy is dead. An economy that has nothing like summer jobs for secondary school graduads. Where summer jobs like working in eateries are people's full time jobs with various degrees.

That's not Chest beating. Northerners no dey make mouth. That Soldier you dey see so, na KILLING MACHINE THE GUY BE.
He can finish a whole community.

God bless our Galant Northern Soldiers.

Is that so? Why him never finish Boko haram for inside Sambisa?

Nigerian politicians no dey use oil play na. Akpabio has been sent to go and beg. Tompolo is the only person in the Niger Delta the Federal government fears.

It's like the life mission of Buhari and his cohorts is to send us into another civil war.

I have never seen a clueless ruler like him. He can threaten all he wants but he should remember there's no difference between people dying daily from banditry and Fulani herdsmen attacks and those that died during the Civil War. So the agitation is for us to stay alive and not get killed when we go to search for a job or get kidnapped when we travel to our villages

BCD2much:
Then ndidi should either win the Award and Kante 2nd or Kante first and Ndidi 2nd.
Kante hasn't reached the level yet, he's still battling supremacy with Ndidi.
The only outstanding performer in the Chelsea team is The coach *TT*, nobody wins Balon d'or by defending and running around, Makele, Viera, Keane, Essien, Casemero, Fernandinho, Sagio Busket, would have had the award 10 each.

What did canavaro do to win it?
