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.

I can stop insecurity in one week in Nigeria.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

smartr:
Stop being bitter

Mashgash:
No, I think the OP is a foetus in Naija affairs.

FYI, not everybody is as pessimistic as you are.

EgunMogaji2:
I rest my case

The bandits will keep on feasting because we're not ready.

The UK all were armed before, they sorted themselves out and then became civilised. We want to jump into civilised without doing the work.

EgunMogaji2:
Still folks don't think we need to be allowed to arm ourselves in this country.

This is what happens when you ask the Fox to count the Chickens.

hello room.

I have a problem and it is paining me. I am a matured guy who know what it feels like to be single and maried .

Most People mock me, but I got married.

We had a baby last year, a corona baby.

I am not ashamed to say that at my age, I am still a mummy's boy and she is my number one but I respect my wife.

When I wanted to marry, my wife Never agreed to having a house close to my mum's place.

I felt very bad but I want to make her happy so we moved far. My mom was angry as she knew my wife forced me.

When my wife delivered, her mum came for omugo instead of my mum, and that made her so sad, that she cried and ask if i am a bastard to let them steal her right.

I begged her. She came for naming and left the same day I noticed way my wife was acting rude too because her mum was pushing her.

I told my wife that mum is angry, let us visit her buy her a gift because her place is now far.

She kept saying that her body is not strong for 5 months after delivery and I thought she took me and my family as fools.

I got angry and slapped her twice. When she saw that I was really angry she begged me.

So we went and saw her we are all happy and settled all.

As my child reached 10 month, I told her to tell her mum to go because she's now strong almost to walk.

Her mum left but my mum wanted to come and spend the holiday as she had never done that since she delivered .

When I told my wife, her facial expression changed. When my mum came i travelled but she didnt cook for her but heat soup that was in the freezer to give her.

My mum hated that and she called me crying that what she did to her she won't do to her own mum .

I pretended nothing happened as I got back I bought things from a eatry for family so my mum left after 2 weeks.

I brought up the issue and she said nothing wrong in giving her food kept in the freezer that she gave same to her mum too .

I got angry and beat her up. I didnt injure her. all and some other thing . I love my wife I cant be beating her all the time she promise to change yet nothing. Because of bad character I refuse to take her to eatry.

she denied me sex until I slap sense into her.

marriage has challenges it is s not easy.

thinkmoney:
I agree with u about the nomenclature. U are calm in the way u talk. I want u to add honesty to ur matured calmness. IPOB has been using terrorism in their agitation, so much that they have changed the security narrative in the south east.
I am an igboman. I was in my hometown about 4months ago

thinkmoney:
That is why I earlier asked (begged) that u should stop making unsubstantiated theories and assertions. Boko Aram has very much been recognized and blacklisted, but u can't say this of bandits/killer herdsmen. I will show u an image of what u will likely see on the internet. Please deal in facts. Boko Aram has been recognized internationally, but killer herdsmen like IPOB are yet to get such recognition. Or post here where u are getting ur information from.
Let's deal only in facts please.

I know you suffer inferiority complex but stop projecting on everyone else.

thinkmoney:
Do u agree if bandits are terrorists or not? Has the west blacklisted them? A lot of politics go into play on the part of the west before blacklisting anybody. But we know the activities of this entities. We long knew bandits were terrorists before this government for some reasons termed it terrorists after much hesitation.
Time will tell

chukxie:
Too many children and adult-children on this forum! Too many ridiculous comments here. Little wonder nobody takes blacks seriously. It is sad some people do not seem to understand that UK makes far much money from Nigeria than Nigeria makes from the UK. I stand with FG on the proposed ban. The ban should be enacted ASAP.

CSTRR:
Do you know how many billions UK schools get from Nigeria?

Every where I turn, there is one agent or the other in my mail, sent by UK schools to advertise their schools in Nigeria.

I am not even talking about tourism yet.

johnfem321:
Make una start to package her and get her ready to apply September next year… ( self employed, registered business and steady inflow of tangible funds monthly as income.. payment of tax etc )

hmohammed:
Some christians with the islamization agenda crap will avoid this news

makano:
Hello Kenn

I will ask some questions to know how to further advise you....

Is she a Minor?
What year did she get a 1st degree?
Since you said she doesn't have a job, what has she been doing since she graduated?
Are your parents also in Canada or in Nigeria?

Peace
