All these paper achievements that translate to nothing for the people of Nigeria. Of what use are the data that are mere abstract when reality of hunger, terrorism, inflation and genocide is staring everybody in the face.

For those that don't know how food is placed on their table, how their cars are fueled, how their bills are settled, Nigeria is better than it was in the past few years. But for those that pass through stress before they see the money to buy food in the market, those that their house rent takes a bigger chunk of their income, for those that their transport cost is consuming a lion share of their budget, for those that if they don't break a sweat, they won't settle their bills, for those that survival of the fittest is their daily experience, they are the ones that can truly tell if Nigeria is better than it was before, or getting worse.

In my opinion, Actors and filmmakers are free to use whatever works for them to market their films, so far it is legit and not against any morals. Moreover, singing and dancing are parts of art, therefore using them to gain publicity for your work is still within the framework of your profession as an artist.

In as much as your opinions hold weight and I respect it… it’s just the same packaged failure I’ve been talking about. Don’t conflate Financial success and occupational success with a fully integrated family unit. That’s the line where fulfillment and happiness starts. Don’t believe the lies you’ve been fed.

This is not a matter of what you are fed with or not. It is the reality of life. It is true that nothing can compare with growing in a home where you are surrounded with motherly love and fatherly care, however when circumstances happen, one must learn to navigate through it rather than allowing it to overwhelm you and making it an excuse for failure in life.

Lawalemi:
Uhm. I heard the gist on radio that hospital was getting 1M naira per day to keep her on oxygen.

Also, that her guardian impregnated her.

May God rest her soul.

If this is true, then she was really unfortunate.

TotoIsGud4boy:
Happy birthday feminist… now that you’re 46, no husband, no male figure in your child’s life I hope you’re happy? Your son is probably going to be home schooled cos the pain you are avoiding from him going to a school with other kids while they show him his mom’s tape is a very bitter pill to swallow… You’ve won awards, you’ve made money, but at 46 are you really happy? You traded your peace for the stage, you traded a home for clout, now age is catching up with you dear tiwa…..

Well, all these outburst is not necessary. Marriage does not mean success to everybody. For many people, success is achieving their personal set goals and living their dream life. For some people, marriage has sent them to their early grave or made them become permanently disable due to domestic violence. Everybody lives his/her life according to what works for them, not what people say or think about them.
For a child, growing to become successful in life does not mean you must live with both parents. Shina rambo became notorious armed robber by what he saw from his father while Oprah Winfrey was severally molested sexually by somebody that's supposed to be a father-figure. On the other hand, Calvin Bassey, the super eagles' defender and Fulham centre-back man, was single-handedly raised by his mother along with his siblings and today, he is a celebrity footballer worldwide.

ThunderFireAgba:
Why do you guys put oooooooo at the end of every sentence?
What kind of education do you people get in school?
I'm not surprised other English speaking countries laugh at you guys.
"You try ooooooo"

Well, that is Nigerian style of communication and we are proud of it. Are you aware that Oxford dictionary has now included some Nigerian words into its collection? This proves how fast Nigerian communication is growing round the world and becoming globally acceptable.

I slightly disagree with you from No. 5 up to No. 10. House rent in all those places you mentioned for 2 bedroom are higher than what you quoted except you are working with old data or you are talking about just room and parlour self contain.
One room mini flat alone in Mushin or Oshodi is around 1.5m, in Festac a good one is around 2.0m. Two bedroom in those places I mentioned starts from 2million upward.

SisterAnn:
Must you always respond each time Peter Obi is mentioned?

Must you people drag Obi into every conversation? I ain't got your time.

So Liverpool is there for comedy while other clubs are there for the trophy?

ThiefnubuBandit:
Look for toys to play with. I'm not on the same level with you. You have your type on nairaland to argue with.

Sure you know we can't be on the same level because bringing Peter Obi into a conversation as distant to him as this topic shows that you are short of any idea and your only source of knowledge as an infant that you are, is your cartoon. Goodnight.

While Osho was still confused whether to deny and call it AI or accuse the poster of cyber bullying him, Nigerians don drag the babe to the extent that she use vex to confess and still drag her Senator boyfriend join for her vex.

ThiefnubuBandit:
Una go ban, una go taya. If it was Peter Obi that did this, it would've been a free for all insult session for Tinubu online donkeys.

Must you always bring your thin god called Peter Obi into every topic?

JAMO84:
At least, we can point to a few big projects Buhari gave us in the South West. What did Obasanjo give us? What did he give the whole Nigeria?

During the 1999 general election, the North voted massively for General Obasanjo (Rtd), while the South voted for Chief Olu Falae, therefore OBJ felt he was indebted more to the North for their support. Anyway, for Nigeria as a whole, OBJ sought the cancellation of Nigeria external debts which gave the country a great relief before Buhari and Tinubu came and incurred highest indebtedness for generations yet to come.
OBJ also started the GSM which you are enjoying till date by giving licence to telecommunication operators such as Econet and MTN.

saphiere:
And there's a proof to urs? dumbbb follower

Nigeria social media space is full of dumb infantile followers.

pembisco:
This clown's earnings from social media can feed your entire generations unborn. This clown's efforts in calling out oppressions against the helpless is top notch that even your entire generations can not dare attempt to do.

Why do you have to mention his generation? This is why I hate social media.

AI now suffer more wrong accusations than the devil himself. It is no more "devils work", it is now "AI work".

Edusouls:
Gen z thinks USA is almighty, Vietnam, Afghanistan humiliate them without any big military talkless of Iran with very strong and intelligent army, that aircraft carrier would be sunk if war starts, USA would surely pound Iran. But would be humiliated with big loses, war is no video game

You are joking right? You think we are still in the era of fighting war with bullets and grenades? For your information, warfare is now technology based. Do Vietnam or Afghan or whateva have the science and technology to engage the U.S. in a war in this era? You already know the answer.

chiagozien:
And Yorubas are silent because,no Ipob,no Igbo or Nnamdi Kanu was mentioned.

Or a way to link it to them.

Emergency Lovers of Nigeria when igbos are involved.
Those innocent people killed doesn't matter because no way to use it show hatred for Igbos.

Which yorubas are silent? They are not like your Peter Obi or Oby Ezekwesili that will be crying when things are happening in other parts of the country but when it happens in the South East, they become mute.

I wrote my own JAMB 1980 back then glory be to God.

Like seriously? You must be grandpa by now. I wrote JAMB in the year 2004, that's some 22yrs ago.

We were told that the U.S. withdrew from assisting Nigeria flin fighting terrorism because they discovered that some people in government were complicit during Jonathan era. Jonathan also confirmed that there were sponsors of terrorism in his cabinet.
Now that Nigeria government is giving her full cooperation to the U.S. government in rooting terrorists, we hope that this collaboration should be the begining of total annihilation of terrorism and banditry in the country and those sponsors of terrorism should be revealed and dealt with. If after all these joint efforts we are still talking about terrorism, then it means Nigeria itself needs a total overhaul.

Under this Tinubu dispensation, anyone that fights the government or has any case in court against the government or APC should forget winning the case. The Judiciary has now become a branch of Tinubu's government.
Sowore should go and ask NLC, TUC, ASUU, SSANU, NASU, FCT workers, they all lost their cases against the government and were all forbidden to go on any protest or strike.

Goo0dHardDick:
The average Igbo man would rather be in his shop than to waste his time at the theater

Keep deceiving yourself. The likes of Pete Edochie, Genevieve Nnaji, Jim Iyke, Patience Ozokwor, Kenneth Okonkwo, Nkem Owoh etc are not Igbos abi?

No wonder this thread is dry. South Easterners have quietly exited the WhatsApp group.

No South East in the top 10 list? Does it mean that there are no cinema centres there at all or they are not just among the top 10 ?

God is the only One who can truly turn a life around and deliver from shame.

Citizens of the so-called giant of Africa becoming IDPs in other African countries.

Just as there is yahoo+ ,This one is a businessman +

Dogalmighty17:
Thank God that coup failed. Otherwise, this country would have been in civil war now.

I dont think there would be civil war if the coup had succeeded. Nobody wants to die in Nigeria, everywhere will just calm and people would be waiting to see what the military guys would do about the country.

After seeing it, should we now go and fry water melon?

15 million is even a conservative number, they should be more than that. Even 15% of Nairaland members is on drug, it doesn't have to be cocaine or heroine before it is hard drug, weed alone as it is, is a hard drug.
