I doubt if this religion and intelligence can co exist in one brain

No religion and intelligence can co-exist in a brain. They are mutually exclusive. You need to hand over reasoning capabilities to receive religion

Nigeria has become an international talking point, not because of innovation or diplomacy, but thanks to a certain breed of citizens who want to outpace Dangote before their 25th birthday, without the inconvenience of education, discipline, or legal work.

In their frantic quest for instant billionaire status, they plunge headfirst into every imaginable transnational crime, even when the odds of success are slimmer than one percent.

The irony is exquisite. These same individuals insist they were “forced” into crime because the Nigerian government failed to support their dreams. One is tempted to ask, what dreams exactly? The kind that can’t survive a simple spelling test? Or the ones conceived by someone who has mastered neither a skill nor a trade, yet feels entitled to global wealth?

Now, if Nigeria truly failed you, what excuse do you have for committing crimes in countries with functioning governance, stable institutions, and working systems? Did bad governance also stow away in your luggage? Even more fascinating is how these criminal cases seem to cluster around the same people of one culture of shortcuts and poor choices.

The problem is not Nigeria. The problem is the delusion that success must be stolen, rushed, and achieved without effort, while blaming everyone else for the consequences.

Very well said Brother, very well said.
Accountability is not their forte. Blame everyone except themselves for the effect of their own actions/inaction.
4 weeks in Delhi, I didn't see any police man with guns until I was returning when "our brothers" were escorted into the waiting area of the airport by several heavily armed men. I have never felt so ashamed.

This is false. Each leader is given exactly 5 minutes to speak. After this 5 minutes, the mic Automatically turns off as the leader is expected to end his/her speech

You are technically correct buy why didn't Trump's mic go off after exceeding his alloted 15mins? He went on to 56 mins. Ramaphosa deservered an equal weight in respect. The UN is supposed to be a league of equal Nations

Smartcitizen:
You didn't answer the question..

Let me ask again maybe, you forgot what was the question;

Where did Bola Tinubu served as a corper?

🙏

Your verb conjugation is incorrect
The verb "served" should be in the correct form to match the subject-verb agreement. The correct sentence should be:

"Where did Bola Tinubu serve as a corps member?"
Education no be scam afterall

Smartcitizen:
Where did Tinubu did his own NYSC service?

When I said that Tinubu's mission is to suffer Nigerians, his suffering head supporters that has been suffering in his hand will be fuming.

Nawaoo!

Policy justified. I am sure you were a corps member at a point in your life. If this was in effect you would have learnt better and not write unintelligibly.

It’s not about being cynical, there’s a real reason for skepticism. Many government agency reports in Nigeria have historically been doctored or tweaked, often showing rosy numbers that don’t reflect what’s actually happening on the ground. So questioning “positive news” isn’t negativity, it’s common sense. Reality on the field often tells a very different story than the official headlines.

I heard Elumelu lending credence to this fact. He is a major player in that industry.
I believe we all want a better country, we won't get there by blind hatred of the government. Is the government perfect? Far from it, but it's the best we've had in a very long time. Let's criticise constructively.

Easy!

Southwest gathered its points because of Lagos, and we know those in Lagos that gave Lagos the point - Igbos.

Remove Lagos and Southwest will be competing with Northeast.

The southeastern states had it's points largely because because of the liquidity flow from Igbos in Lagos. Remove Lagos and the Southeast will be worse than the Northeast

So what does this have to do with the death of Mohbad? It changes nothing. He is dead already and Marlian Record Label bullied him while he was alive.
Is it a crime to send money to your mother inlaw sometimes? After he left your record label, was he still receiving money from you with that account? Why didn't they kill him then?

Naira Marley should tell us another story.

Wow this is massive projects here. I think lithium minerals are much in the southwest too.

What we have in the west is nothing compared with the deposit in that region. My concern is the sustainability of the project as lithium battery tech is being actively replaced by the sodium and graphite battery techs.

Hankim:
You are totally wrong here, please allow indigenous Lagosians to govern themselves, allow them to breathe, attach by force is never going to help your plans in Lagos

I will take a leep here to assume you are neither a Lagosian nor Yoruba which is why this may be alien to you. If you were you will understand how traditional stools (ipere) are ascended, it's not the same as political offices. We are logical in our dealings. We are not arrogant and not driven by emotions.

ShoeMarket:
As much I hate people saying Lagos is no man's land, we must ask Lere how many of these kings he mentioned are true lagosians?

All of them. They have ancestral roots in Lagos.
That's a verifiable fact.

You guys and critical thinking, Abacha here doesn't mean that he met one on one with Abacha, rather it was a minister working under the directive of Abacha (Ani).

But someone banged the table and made a pronouncement according to PO in his 2023 interview. Its either he lied then or is lying now. Logic cannot allow both statements stand.

Lanretoye:
first 3 statements you made here shows you don't know anything other than newspaper stand politics,weldone...let me back you up by saying obasa was impeached because he is not supporting tinubus second term.

He is exceptionally dumb. Beer parlour politician.
I also submit that Rauf Aregbesola was pushed out of APC to make way for Tinubu's second and third term plans.

Naima Jamal, an Ethiopian woman, was recently kidnapped and sold into slavery in Libya for a mere $6,000 by a group of Muslim terrorists. This incident highlights a disturbing trend of modern-day slavery in Libya, with Muslim terrorists operating a thriving slave trade with little to no media coverage.
This is the legacy bequeathed upon Libya by the United States of America, the architects of this tragedy. The US, with NATO as it's proxy, in its insatiable thirst for global dominance, orchestrated the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, plunging Libya into chaos and enabling the rise of these very same terrorist groups. Their "humanitarian intervention" has become a breeding ground for suffering and despair.
The lack of mainstream media attention surrounding this issue has sparked outrage among activists and concerned citizens. One social media user questioned, "Why aren't any students blockading campuses for her? Why isn't anyone posting a story that says 'All Eyes on Naima'?"
This lack of coverage stands in stark contrast to the extensive media attention given to other humanitarian crises. The post continues, “If you posted stories and expressed support for people who carried out massacres, rape, and started a war after declaring they want to kill all Jews, but said nothing about this - now is the time to reflect deeply on how much of your personality is pure virtue signaling and how completely lacking in moral compass you actually are.”
This raises concerns about selective outrage and the prioritization of certain humanitarian causes over others. These are global issues, regardless of the perceived political, racial or religious leanings.

OfficialP:
U lack understanding

Please share from your wealth of wisdom.

Blazetrailer:
Lol....now you have confirmed yourself to be a complete dunce, a stark illiterate in economic matters.

I wish you had kept quiet. In the words of Abraham Lincoln......." it is better to be quiet and be thought as unknowledgeable than to speak and remove all doubts that you are truly and idiot"

Since you removed all doubts that you are an illiterate, let me try and help you.....

Trade surplus is when you import less than your export. Did you know that could also happen if there is paucity of forex to import critical and essential machinery and required spare parts to help griw your economy?

The question you should have asked yourself before coming here to disgrace yourself is to ask what led to Nigeria's recent trade surplus. According to WTO report in Oct 2024, Nigeria's trade surplus of $1.0bn was as a result of the 20% cumulative decrease in imports attributed to (1).Naira Depreciation, (2) Huge decline in non oil imports, and (3.) FX liquidity bottlenecks (Source: WTO African View report, Oct. 2024).....

Only a buffon will term a trade surplus stemming out of FX liquidity bottlenecks and currency depreciation as an achievement. Those are temporary and cyclical reasons that would be wiped off soon when the pressure in the economy reaches its boiling point. They were not sue to any improved esrnings if forex or attraction of FDIs. No serious nation celebrates such

It could only be an illiterate that would assume that a temporsry trade surplus automatically translates to improved economy and welfare of the people. If that were true, US(been in trade deficits for decades), UK(consistently reports trade deficits), Japan,Germany,Mexico,Canada, Ireland, Taiwan, etc, have been reporting trade deficits for many years and they are considered as advanced and progeessive economies. You know why? They realised that growing their economies with deficits is better than starving it of the necessary importation of critical infrastructure and capital needed to boost their economies. Hence they are more focused on growing their National income and GDP per capita. Those are more accurate parameters for judging the improvement in their economies and welfare of their people(Google for more knowledge sir).

Nobody cares so much about trade surplus in the world as compared to GDP growth and GDP per capita. Even China, with the most trade surplus, is spreading it as loans to other countries in the form of aid and development, becuase it is useless if the economy does not grow whike they accumulate trade surplus. Same for the increase in foreing reserves(China loans it to the US mostly since it is useless unless they need it to prop up their currency)

Do you want to tell us about Nigeria's GDP in the last two years(dropped from 1st in Africa to 4th in less than a year under the certificate forger)?. Kenya and Ethiopia are projected by IMF to be ahead of Nigeria in GDP before end of 2026,meaning Nigerians will become poorer and more impoverished than Ethiopians and Kenyans(Nigeria GDP is projected to fall to 6th position by then)..

so what are you about? If APC/Tinubu want to waste money on people to defend its abysmal q economic performance, it should at least get the intelligent ones, not touts or semi literates like the one below

For someone quoting Abraham Lincoln about silence and wisdom, you seem quite eager to showcase your own misunderstandings. The irony is delicious.

First, I never said trade surplus automatically equals economic prosperity - that's your interpretation. What's truly amusing is how you've written an essay mansplaining basic economics while missing the point entirely about structural reforms and transition periods.

Since you enjoy citing reports, perhaps you've also read about Ethiopia and Kenya's own economic challenges? Or does your expertise only extend to copying and pasting selective statistics? It's fascinating how you can simultaneously lecture about GDP metrics while ignoring the complexities of economic transition in developing economies.

The real 'buffoonery' (since we're using such terms) is reducing complex economic policy to partisan attacks. But hey, at least I can spell 'temporary' and 'buffoon' correctly in my economic analyses. 😉

Believeintruth:
The trading surplus was because of a reduction in importation of essential items. This is what is causing the inflation because the supply is lower than the demand for these commodities. Even the manufacturing index in Nigeria as quoted by MAN dropped significantly due to the economy, so even local capacity is rubbish at the moment. Please try and tell people the truth and stop the propaganda.

Yes, reduced imports contributed to the trade surplus, but this has also forced the manufacturer s to look for local alternatives to their raw materials, this push towards domestic production is necessary for long-term growth. I play in this sector,trust me. While manufacturing faces current challenges, and inflation is concerning, the ongoing reforms are attracting significant investment. The short-term pain is part of a needed economic restructuring. What matters is how we manage this transition. No be everything be propaganda.
Nigeria will thrive in my lifetime.
