I think the Private Sector in Nigeria is very indolent and insolent. Infact there is a huge vacuum created by this inactivity of the Private Sector. The only people representing the Private sector are Banks that oppress the masses and Oil companies that are owned by Cronies of Government officials.

Everyone is waiting for FG to do what private sectors of other countries do. We are waiting for FG that is Rotten from the top to convert fuel cars to electric cars or to gas cars. FG or their cronies cannot solve any of our problems. See the mess they have done to DISCOS which they gave their friends. Now they have huge gbese on their heads as we speak

ablejesus26:
Then do something about it.
You are the leader of your state.
The people gave you the mandate to champion the affairs of the state.
Don't go down the Orthom lane, that's always complaining and crying about something,but hardly doing nothing

Why are you telling us now, should I leave the Shawarma and waist trainer and my host of businesses I need to make sales and profit from to help you drive out the crazy land grabbers�

jiniux:
Are you an American or European? You are more guilty of your accusation unless you are a foreigner. You prefer to leave the poor in Nigeria to live in a place where the citizens prefers to make their country work instead of looking for the easy way out like you did!
He’s still in Nigeria and contributing his quota.

GetMeRight:
All he told you was that you don't need to get to USA or Canada to enjoy regular electricity. Even in abroad, those services don't come cheap, you still need to able to afford it before you can have access. Either in Nigeria or abroad, you need to be able to afford it. I don't see where the word selfishness was coming from. There are many homes in Nigeria that couldn't even afford electricity bills. So, what are we arguing about?

planetx:
I can tell you that electricity have not been my problem for a long time, using my friend as an example of people that have discovered that you don't need to be living abroad to enjoy 24hrs electricity maybe you do so goodluck to you.

deji17:
There was no concrete agreement? Were you part of the negotiating team? It is one thing not to like the govt, it is another thing to not to wish your country well. When they open their office, will you then be happy? I doubt it.

deji17:
They have 3 months to do it.

okeyumez:
Was Buhari truly a military General?
I still doubt it
He behaves like a man o war

michoim:
PMB is very correct. Okinbaloye question is lopsided and lack foresight. Okinbaloye succeeded in listing all negative economic indices (consequences); but he failed woefully in mentioning the fact that the major source of our revenue is oil. And that the average price of oil in the last administration before PMB is US$100 while during PMB administration it has been US$40. And that production before PMB is 2.3 million bpd; Production during PMB is 1.3 million bpd
He failed to mention the impact of Niger delta operation zero economy by destroying 1500 oil pipelines for more than one year(2015 to 2016).
He Failed to mentioned the global impact of Coronavirus on economies, unlike Ebola that's localised to Africa continent. Countries that buys Nigeria oil are Europeans, that shutdown their borders during Coronavirus....

nrexzy:
Advance economy u say... Have u actually understood how those country economy works or u just follow what u see on social media

The issue we have is that we were so bent on oil alone we forgot to develop and strengthen other sectors of our economy....
Its just too sad to know we technically import almost everything even palmoil

megastu:
It was not surprising that U.S who had about the most lenient Visa Policy has now restricted it badly. Lots of people were obtaining U.S visas land in the U.S and the next day find themselves in Canada.

That being said, we are very good at de marketing our country and its people. The sheer number of Indians seeking Assylum in Canada will shock you but you will never hear of these kinds of reports.

There is a very slow and verifiable process before granting claims, however, the reporter makes it seem that Nigerians just go there, claim reused and are sent back. We should do better.

SultanOfPuna:
That Okowa's Aide is an example of Age does not mean maturity and wisdom.
So many Nigerian Men are very stupid. There are 12 year old that are wayyyy smarter than some 40 yr old Nigerian men.

One thing i have seen over and over in this life
You see people like this okiwa aide that are acting Angel Upright, Brother Righteousness,Brother Holiness are the Worst Set of hypocrites ever. I have experienced this many times.
That Okowas aide blaming calamities on cross dressers is probably doing bloody rituals with human parts. But will come and be bashing cross dressers.
He probably is a member of cult in politics but he will still blame calamity of society on harmless cross dressers.

You wont see these fools complain about tge calamites caused by Bandits it is cross dressers that he is worried about.
Hypocrisy is the order of the day in Nigeria

Plantiff:
Celebrity worship syndrome is becoming an epidemic in Africa and it seems as though Nigeria is its epicentre.

The bulk of Nairaland members will criticize her but they aren't different. It is because the majority are part of the whole and complicit in this negative cultural evolution that we have stories of bad influences, like Tonto Dike brushing her teeth or Mrs Regina Nwoko taking air transport, grace the front page of Nigeria's biggest forum.

It gets worse when the media amplifies their nuisance. It pushes more black children to believe that drugs, fraud, sex trading and entertainment are the only ways out of poverty and this belief correlates with the neglect of science, which inspires innovations , nation building , economic development and civilization that are prevalent everywhere else but sub-saharan Africa.

---

There are way more Nigerian children and teenagers who know that the ghetto musician, Portable, was gifted an old Range Rover this past day than those who know that the under-30 Nigerian founders of paystack sold the startup for $200 million (US Dollars) this year

More Nigerian kids therefore aspire to be like Portable instead of the Paystack founders because of celebrity worship syndrome.

EgunMogaji2:
I can stop insecurity in one week in Nigeria.

I’ll need the protection of USA Navy Seals and CIA,

rentAcock:
Even if Naira drops to N4000/$, I will continue to believe in this country because I can see what's coming. The wise are heavily investing in Nigeria while the weak are looking for how to go abroad. The whole world is tired of China, they are looking for cheap labor, Nigeria is the next China. We have the population, the youth and the literacy level to be the next manufacturing power. Plus, several countries that benefited from slavery (U.S, UK, Spain and Portugal) have proposed ways to pay back Africans for all the abuse, exploitations throughout our history. There is a conscious effort to make Africa the next industrial hub. Those lacking foresight won't see this, they only see the now and not the later. Ignore the noise and look for a small factory you can start; In the next 5yrs all the big multinational companies like Amazon, Walmart and co will be pouring billions into our infrastructure just to enable us to manufacture goods for them. So many people will miss this boat, but you are hearing this now, act on it.

owagbeba:
Honestly, I’m beginning to believe this hypothesis that there is a consensus amongst the elite to keep the masses impoverished. But what really befuddles me Is when a few breaks out from the impoverished mass and makes it into the political class, they start acting under the same consensus. Any explanation?

Look at Oshomole, wasn’t he part of the struggling class impoverished by the ruling elite.

owagbeba:
Why can’t we have a stable power supply?

Why can’t we reform the laws allowing states to generate power under clean energy act?

Why can’t the central leadership coerce all these “no-good” state leadership to get up and starting working for their state rather than wait for handout from central? Most of the Emirates in UAE run their own power supply scheme. Some emirates like Ajman is not as big as Lagos, yet they have their power plants. See below photo3 Ajman’s power plant.

It’s 2021.... the science of power generation is quite rudimentary at these times. Not a big deal! It’s the same basic science of your tiger generator scaled up a thousand times.


Turkey runs an offshore power turbine (on ship) off the coast of Lebanon to supply power to this nation (Lebanon). Lagos can get one of this. Lagos can afford it. If they can’t, then rent the service. See below Turkey’s Karpowership.

China will be more than happy to build a power plant on each state in Nigeria on a long term repayment agreement; just the way we partnered with them on rail.

Sometimes we need brute force to make a change... the way Sanusi forced everyone to go cashless. Now POS operator is a popular employment scheme around Nigeria, though not good enough, better then staying unemployed.

But what we have is a bunch of clowns who are after their own interest. Their greed stinks! Most often they distract the people with non issues while they are neck deep in the coffers

It’s an APC government, an APC legislature... what are they waiting for?

PS: second photo is shell’s power supply scheme to Aba industrial zone. It’s a limited scheme.

Bigkoko:
Rather than spending $4000 & other humiliations at the hand of arrogant Visa officers at embassies, seeking Visas to UK, Canada, or much of Europe under whatever guises; school, work Etc. Come and set up a Company here in Kigali Rwanda and get their strong PR.

Singapore is Visa free for Rwandan passport, so a Rwandan PR on your passport is a straight pass for Singapore business Visa.

With $2000 Investment in Kigali Rwanda, that's roughly 2,000,000RWF, especially in IT, Manufacturing or Import/Export sectors, you will be flying round Europe like king rather than snocking around looking for menials to do, Including washing corpses!

Don't forget our promo for Company Registration (RDB) is still on and will end by 31st Dec. No further extension please!
Just three working days your Company certificate of Incorporation is out and you are ready to start business!

safarigirl:
Na you get low self esteem, because you no suppose dey make assumptions over another person's motive like this.


Somebody posted a wholesome picture that she is playing with her son, and this is what you have to say

As you think, so are you. Today is Christmas, try to save your negative energy for another day
