OlowoB: Of cos dat is going 2 be d normal thng initially but as more and more private investors come on board, d prices would go down.

All Nigerians want is steady power supply.

bllaster1: There is a conpiracy in SW to ridicule the aviation minister. Why lagos everytime.
How come a plane all the way from Saudi comes to Nigeria and cause havoc yet no one is pointing finger at the pilot.
Why are some tribal bigots looking at the wrong direction hoping to find solution.

koastar: I won't accept he's the worst but his hands are not clean. When he was the chairman of PTF, would Buhari beat his chest before man and God that his hands was completely clean? That he didn't spend or allocate unjustly the funds of the organisation for his personal gains? That Abacha wasn't given a dime from the funds for his personal use which wasn't budgeted for? Why did he (Buhari) vindicate Abacha (a confirmed corrupt leader) of corruption in his statement during the remembrance of the late leader sometimes in 2011? If Buhari could say Abacha didn't steal then could Buhari hands be free of corruption? - food for thought

sbaks: i think buhari before cannot accept bribe but buhari of now :-?? the way and manner he wants to get into power makes it seem as if he forgot to carry something. To me 'o'!. It is said the devil you know (may be pdp here) is better than the angel you dont know (may be apc here)

Dereformer: Buhari is one of the most corrupt politicians in Nigerian history.

Go check out what that guy did with PDTF.

honeric01: 7 months? he should join ASUU strike with immediate effect!

lygn19: Ok, but re der Igbo's in the southsouth?

erico2k2: Guy I think you have never bought a new car, how can you compare Japs and german tech? the VW is far supirior to any car made in Japan and thats a fact

ba7man: Not true. The VW Golf is always of comparable price to the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Ford Focus and other Vehicles in its class.

Venchy: Ummm, do Nigeria as a country with abundance resources should be given aids?.....Hell NO.

Are Nigerians truely an hungry souls? Yes of course we are ...reasons.

1* We are very greedy in nature.
2* Our work ethic us completely CRAP.
3* We lack direction and engage in unrealistic things, e.g Our priorities are always wrong.
4* We always wants to eat what didn't work for.
5* We have CRIMINALS AS POLITICIANS.
6* Finally nothing is REAL about Majority of Nigerians life style as they love to live above their means.

Please get any European Passport if you can because you'll be treated better than back home.

I don't even know why it's called home when you are more like a foreigner, must know OGA AT THE TOP before you can get a job, we are in a mess.

rigormortis: it seems like you have a problem with jonathan....that is personal and I wont talk about that.....

but the you know how much americans hate Obama now.......they voted for him but does hating him now make them m0rons for voting hm in the first place....

what about bush jr., same thing

you just don't want to see anything good about Nigeria and in the process you overlook the lapses of the ppl you hold as a standard to Nigeria...........Nigeria has a problem...sure

but human and societal dreg problem is not endemic to Nigeria...its universal

rigormortis: bro, believe me I know, one governors son from the north schooled in Sheffield and he didn't have a house, he lived in a 5 star hotel throughout.......he is not the skirt chasing type but coke and heroine were a regular pastime for him, this is not hearsay I saw this first hand....

now can you honestly say he is like the average Nigerian kid abroad? ...no
and for the dads who pay there son 250k a month, are they like the average family...ans is no again...their kids don't even need the jobs anyway

and that is where the problem is.....some ppl don't like being lumped together with others and that is why I will always object when a foreigner labels every thing breathing in Nigeria as scammers and thieves cos I am not one.

I are guilty of the FALLACY OF HASTY GENERALISATION

all naija boys a scammers
all Italians are mobsters
irish are drunkards
Mexicans are all drug pushers

bring it home and you will hear stuff like all ibos are this and all yorubas are that....I hate stuff like this with all my heart

and coming from a WHITE, TOP, US politician doesn't make it any less sad and wrong it makes it worse...it makes it RACIST

relax, that post wasn't quintessential to the issue pro tempore it was just a side comment for the guy who doubted that someone actually turned down a 100k job, nothing to do with our favorite Nigerian scammers

rigormortis: of course they will be arrested, but they will be released cos your verbal evidence might not be enough and woe betide you when you get back to the streets, but they might also be arrested in Nigeria depending on the integrity of the personnel you meet there..........some totenham street cops are bad, if not worse than naija versions, very racist and corrupt I tell you.

bro, I am not saying the situation is not bad in Nigeria, what I am saying is that I hate it when countries that are also corrupt treat Nigerian as pariahs for the same thing they are guilty of

recently a lady and her mother provided an account for a naija boy to wire money from other ppls account into.........they knew what was up, even the postman was on the guys payroll, later when the guy was arrested they were lambasting Nigeria and not the particular dude....

what happens in Nigeria is outright embezzlement, and this is because many are ignorant and the others are tired and passive about the whole thing...but over there, the scams are very well plan out, I am not talking about government now...that's a story for another day,...I am talking health/motor insurance scams....this one is daily, mortgage, atm, wire transfer, drug money laundering...etc brother is very dirty out there too
but cnn and bbc wont tel you that.
they would rather tell you the negatives but wont show you when a Nigerian scientist/nurse/student there does something good

That personnel has not been hired yet perhaps we will try in the next life . there is no society without crime is an indisputable fact, however, in Nigeria, the law enforcement agents are worse than the criminals, who do you go to?
you now understand why Nigeria has the highest number of churches in the world, lol God solves all Nigerian problems.

we have more churches than even the Italians who wield the mantle of Christianity

i don't agree completely with the last bold comment, take the pulse of most people here, save for a few, the majority don't even want you to say it, they wish it to be hidden, swept under the carpet, they don't want anything to be done, because they are all thieves.

how could you explain how PDP got 22.5m votes in the last election? free and fair if those cheap retards didn't go to collect bags of rice or perhaps may have been living in self denial of voting Jonathan not PDP? now this was a man that never made a single brick as a governor, tell me are these people normal?
the average Nigerian doesn't know how corruption affect him or her, they pretend not to understand the dangers of picking the wrong leadership, they fail to realize that the change has to start from their mindset not petty jingoism.


do you want another US senator to tell you that? some Nigerians fall far below what will be qualified as human, it is so unfortunate that we all (sane and insane) have to decide leadership with the m0r0ns amongst us, i fvcking hate democracy for this.

rigormortis: a Nigerian graduate that refuses to accept 100kn for a start is not a Nigerian graduate ....I am serious

iknowwhoiam: [color=#000000][/color]

Nice one Philips, trying to change the subject?
1.3 trillion what? Naira or dollars? Mention the names of these people.
Please get your facts right.

lets assume for the sake of augment that they did so. Where did they keep the money?
In Nigeria or foreign Bank.
Who bank these stolen moneys for them? Any body who receives any stolen item is as guilty as the person who stole it. (accessory to the fact, Aiding and abetting)

rigormortis: brother I am sorry about the ampiclox, but next time buy from a reputable chemist/pharmacy, and don't go for the cheap ones

though I feel you on some points but as Nigerians we tend to see corruption as endemic to us, now listen......last December I was in the UK and can you believe that when I was about to return some white UK citizens in totenham were asking me if I could do biz with them when I return...you know use there address as drop for scam goods, use them as pick up for western union drops etc.....the polish dudes that pestered me and my brother are countless

brother I tell you scamming is worldwide, the only reason US/UK citizens especially the young adults and teens don't do it that much is because its easy to trace and catch them, ask around

if you also know the amount of fraud that occurs in goes on in health insurance scheme infact insurance in general you will holla oyi eh

even with that there are still huge wire transfer frauds by these guys................

American/Russian/uk/Lebanese /indian/Chinese expatriates are not better outside their shores, they bribe and lobby just as dirty to get inside contracts....forget the myth

what about the foreign aid scams...............

American oil coys have been mining wrongly and illegally in south America since forever and laundering money into Caribbean accounts.......I cant list them all but things are not all squeaky clean...

humans tell the tales in hunting stories, that's why they win, if lions told the stories, I am sure they will win all the time too......

watch CNN and bbc but don't believe everything...........................

I have also seen US teens who have made thousands from street level drug dealing and are being celebrated in their community....money is power everywhere...........not excusing wrongdoing though, am just saying there is no reason to single out Nigeria for verbal slurs in another country's politicking

rigormortis: I feel you.......America has the highest rate of serial and psycho killers but only American rock bands can sing about American psychos and go scot free.

if he had even referred to a US state or territory with bad reputation, the state, even though its part of the union would have fought tooth and nail till he takes it back or apologizes

if he had referred to a middle east country.....well..........

the truth is a sovereign country like naija shouldn't have been mentioned when playing DIRTY politics in another country, its racist, stewpeed and dumb......and wont even get him the cheap points he wants to score

Nimen: You're a fool to have said that... Have your car been stolen in Nigeria before? Is there a country where they don't steal cars. The truth is that unlike americans and britons we take care of each other. Go to a Lasgidi street and shout Ole!! And point at a man and see if the guy will not be bundled before police comes mtcheww

How do you know that EFCC has not convicted anybody since this year?
What is the budget of EFCC compared to FBI? {do they make FBI budget public}.

You have the notion that "Nigerians" are criminals, but you guys are worst. Please name one criminal activity so called "Nigerians" are committing/committed that your people have not committed/committing.?

In fact, everything these so called scammers are doing, the west thought them.
Any thing bad coming from the west that is bad is given a name that is Innocuous. "unsolicited mails", "commercial mails", where did it come from?.

You pride yourself to be educated more than Nigerians yet you lack simple reasoning ability. We Nigerians may not be able to cure this malady from the likes of you but we shall try.

hey yaa! the next federal pensioners from 2014 and above have to wait minimum of 3yrs to receive their gratuity and 1.5yrs to receive their pension, any idea why it is so. lol holy people!!

I heard a couple of people who defrauded the govt to the tune of 1.3trillion were arrested a year ago, can you confirm their present locations as we speak?
Holy people i must say

adorable29: Jpphillips, your mama, papa, all your family and generation na cheap thieves! Amadioha fire you there! Such impetus! Nkpi!

What the heck is wrong with us Nigerians? A bloody foreigner comes to your forum and calls you thieves(including your family) and you "LIKE" his comments! Gosh!

are you a Nigerian? ok, sorry you are not a cheap thief, but do you have any idea why the diesel sold in Nigeria by Nigerians falls below the standard API Specific gravity? any idea why the kerosene you bought from holland left the port colorless and in the gas station it is yellow, any idea?
how many countries in the world do people burst pipelines to scoop PMS, any idea? lol

that reminds me when next you take Ampiclox kindly open the capsule to confirm what is inside, the last i took was starch and my neighbor's was glucose
Holy people!!

kliverpool: @JP PILIPS
yes plenty Nigerians with questionable characters.
is that why some one will make such joke about over 150 million people?
to me its reckless and Nigerians should demand apology from this man.
And u don't need to attack me with word like (go and kill ur self)
let us learn how to drive home our point without insulting each other.
my view or opinion might be different that not enough for u to use such word.
have a nice day

Akinsnaira: Is It patriotism I will it OR utter delusion. Nigerians always rise up to defend their country whenever any white foreigner tries to hit nail on the Head by criticising the country (the Government, the governed or general characters of the Nigerians). Which in most cases these foreigners are pointing the totally decadent life in Nigeria, in conclusion, I think Nigerians are ok with the way they have been stripped of fundamental human rights by their leaders. After all, no difference between the leaders and followers in terms of characters

iknowwhoiam: [/color]

Between I don't think you a Nigerian. I don't even think you black. You alluded to the fact that FBI is spending billions of dollars locking them up, has it stopped them from scamming? Has DEA stopped drug trafficking and use? Has the FBI stopped hacking despite locking some hackers?.

MacLovington: .

Is it the same America where people as guilty as sin get away with murder if they have heavy duty attorneys? Abeg forget matter.

Rome was not built in a day. We can do better and should do better but America 53 years after Independence wasn't all that either.

kliverpool: He is confused and ignorant.
Things like this should be said about a country in his bed room.
Nigeria should call US ambassador and make official complain.
and the ministry of foreign affair should petition the US Senate and demand a verbal and written
apology,from TED and his party and US government.

And i am so ashamed of people that are saying he is saying the truth.
what is the percentage of Nigerians scamming people online?
For a senator in a civilized nation to make such a silly and uncivilized joke about
Nigeria.

MacLovington: .

How many times have you used the high level of gun crimes in America to taunt them? Or is it not true that there is high gun crime?
