Mogidi:


SW politicians bemoan (perceived wrongfully) marginalization of their region, this is an opportunity to make this SWestern politician the number four "man" in the country. PDP will be be killing two birds with one stone. First time in history for a woman to be number four citizen in our country.
Support this measure for gender equality if for nothing else.

Buhari is the entertainment of the week, which is fine jare. To be fair, should he get any of the proceeds? He overthrew a democratically elected government, scrapped the constitution and imposed totalitarian rule to a level unseen prior by silencing the media through assassination, beatings, vandalism of properties and arrests. Should he even get 10%?

Segunj8:
Enough of this Buhari this, Buhari that jare, let him at least win primaries 1st na.

I know GMB has been a man with integrity but can never believe he could have done this for his country. This is a great sacrifice, and i hope this is true, then i will put all my effort to bring on board our own "MANDELA"

thank God pdp decides to blame vandals on this one otherwise they would have told us what we want to hear always by telling us how Buhari and Tinubu are stopping them from turning nigeria to heaven.
one of the greatest characteristics of a failure is: blame. every failure must have someone to blame at all times.
i remember when chelsea lost a game and Mourinho was asked what happened, he accepted the blames and said, he made 11 mistakes by the 11 players he selected. if it were to be here, wow, it was tinubu, buhari and the apc that made to select the 11 players so nigerians must blame them not me because i have done my best. and been the gullible ppl that we are, we will start insulting innocent ppl.
assuming we had 5,000MW before and now it has dropped to 4,000mw as a result of vandalism, my question is, where were those vandals when it got to 5,000MW? were they on break or strike? these criminals keep stealing our money and they keep coming back to tell us the same stories on daily basis.
their sole interest as we speak now is 2015. whether boko haram kill every nigeria or light no dey, they must win.
why did vandals and saboteurs not stop the fight against Ebola? simply because their own lives are not safe hence they fought it out rightly. for these light and security issues, they are not involved and nobody will solve the problems. we cannot protest because their soldiers are always available to shot at sight. but God will show them very soon.
if anyone had told alamasieya that death will locate his son in far away dubai in a very big mansion, he will never believe it.

I weep for my country.
what disheartens me most is that of all the presidential aspirants, I honestly don't see anyone who will be able to turn the tides of affairs in dis country.
who will raise a messiah for us?

If Adeboye can vouch for him,then I'd want to believe Ayo is innocent(even though I never believed He was guilty of the whole thing before).

veraponpo:

The heading is misleading.

Note that LASG does not owe world bank 160bn. This amount is the summation of all the external and internal debts including the world bank, bond, etc.

He has also explained that of this amount #51bn is due to be repaid by FG, #82bn is already in the conservative account making #133bn. The balance is #27bn.

This means before Fashola leaves office he would have kept sufficient amount in the account for the repayment of the bond because the commisioner for finance of the state has once said about 15% of the IGR goes into an annuity account for debt repayment .

Fashola is the best. Haters can go and die( in the words of Oshio Baba)

I have been wondering why Nigerian students always use the word 'i was like ok' in every of their saying... I found it difficult to believe that 'i was like ok' is a correct short sentence, in English...

because I have sat down and think about this all over and over and over,and through research I found that there is no short sentence in English, like 'i was like ok'.. but some Nigerians are so terrible when it comes to the aspects of speaking or writing standard English...

A student of unilorin came to meet my big bro at home,and he said I have been trying your number since I left Lagos and I WAS LIKE OK LET ME CALL YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER TO CONFIRM..

immediately,I felt the 'spirit of bad English' in what he said above... since then I have been searching,I have been asking those who are highly educated and those who study English in universities.. if the use of I WAS LIKE OK is good to speak..

to nairelanders do any of you have anything to say about this topic... share your own points of view and let some 'BAD English speaker(s)' learn from you.. thanks

Yours Faithfully

Gbawe:


It is nauseating how you drag ethnicity into everything. Why not just support who you personally want to and let others do same? Are you more Yoruba than than the rest of us? Must you insult other Yorubas because they rightly see no good in a Government that has delivered failure everywhere over 5 years? Must you attack others for justifiably wanting change when they gave GEJ, with their votes, one term to perform yet he let everyone down horribly and only succeeded to create the biggest corruption and private jet-owning Oligarchy in Nigeria's history?

What manner of Yoruba are you anyway when the tolerance and live-and-let-live ethos we are known for appears to have bypassed you and your household? My friend, learn to be truly democratic by standing on your own two feet and stop attempting to use insult, blackmail and scaremongering to force others into backing your position. Campaign for your GEJ and leave others to support Buhari. GEJ condemned himself to his current situation by squandering the electoral support and goodwill many Yorubas had for him through terribly woeful and ultra-corrupt leadership over 5 years. I do not know how you can come here in good conscience and insult others for wanting change when they have indulged GEJ for 5 long years. You think you can insult Yorubas into giving a failure another 4 years to further destroy many Nigerian lives and future? Shame on you and your myopically ethnocentric outlook. You are the one who is "BLIND".

size38: Nigerian politicians are the worst politicians on earth. If Ribadu was d EFCC chairman then, was it not on d consideration of him being a PDP member he was appointed by OBJ? What edwin clark meant is that Ribadu would have turned his eyes away to corrupt PDP governors then as against doing the job he was appointed to do. If a man like Edwin Clark who was a delegate at d just concluded national Confab could reason like this at his age, nigeria is forever doomed.

Blockus:

Lol..

Wether we talk about it or not... The truth is always the truth.. Nigeria is a very very underachieving nation with more negatives than positives.



[b]BOKO HARAM: The Nigerian Government under Obasanjo had known about Boko Haram since as far back as 2005 -06 and were aware that it was a fundamentalist group that had started amassing a following that was slowly and steadily growing. The Government did not take any proactive measures to either infilterate the group or even fund a counter programme against them that didnt involve violence. Next thing, they act up once and we responded with brute force killing their relatively saner leader Mohammed Yusuf extra-judiciously giving his lunatic lietenant Abu Qaqa the opportunity to take the group to the Permanent site.. Now its almost too late to do nothing about them.

Its not Propaganda when we say Boko HAram are bombing people with impuinity in Nigeria and that the armed forces are powerless against them: ABi have you forgotten the Madala bombing, the Bus Park bombing, the Police HQ bombing, ThisDay House Bombing, The United Nations Building Bombing, the Churches that were bombed, the Polytechnic butchering, Independence day bombing, e.t.c... Now how much more out of proportion can we blow Boko Haram?! If Boko Haram could have such freedom to operate in Brono even with the State of Emergency in place, can you blame Nigerians for peddling unconfirmed stories?! Havent Boko Haram earned the status they currently have?!

OKAY... Lemme take you even a tep further: The Nigerian Media Houses have also showen how incompetent, bias and unreliable they can be for news. DO you still remember the CHIBOK GIRLS?! When last did any Media house carry any developing story on this case?! DO you remember how they all started reporting the case halfassedly when it happened?! Whilst the pro-government media houses where spinning the news of the kidnap to be untrue, the pro-opposition papers were spinning their own.. Infact, it took CNN and BBC journalist to come into Nigeria and visit Chibok for Nigerians to have a look at what the Chibok community actually looked like and to see the school from where the Girls were taken.. It also took Isha Sesay to get the Government to actually talk on the matter of the Girls. Compare the questions asked to the President and Laraban Maku by Isha Sesay of CNN to those asked to same people by Channels TV..

With regards to Boko Haram, Foreign media houses have more information on the group than local media houses. America Knows.. lol [/b]





[b]EBOLA:: Its very obvious from the Ebola outbreak the poisition the world sees Nigeria to occupy in relation to Africa. We are the Giants of Africa.. If we have an Ebola Problem, then the World potentially has an Ebola Problem. Its like if South Africa has an Ebola Problem, the world would also sit up. It took Ebola entering Nigeria for the world to finally pay serious attention to it and finally release a drug that they had been developing for over 10 years for trials.

Now you cant blame Nigerians for blowing the Ebola outbreak to the heights it reached.. Remember that; Our Healthcare system in Nigeria is shiit, the Doctors were on strike, our Government is highly unreliable and the Fhucking virus has no cure. Also, the disease did not attack the poor and rural dwellers like it did in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone but rather the middle to upper class Nigerians who were more exposed and thus the outbreak couldnt be downplayed like we did that of Dengue fever. Ofcourse we were bound to Panic and rightly so.. That Panic has led to people paying greater attention to hygiene, their surroundings and taking maximum precaution which has led to a limited spread of the disease.. That people get quarantined is an acceptable harzard to me.

Its not based on what we say, Nigerians are all over the world and keep moving so the world cant turn a blind eye to us in a situation like an Ebola outbreak.[/b]



Nigerian Armed Forces: The Nigerian Army are not weak by any means... Yup! They are just unsophisticated. And thats why Boko Haram have the upper hand.

If this were a War of attrition were its shoot me I shoot you.. Boko Haram would have been finished since after the first bomb went off.. But this is a war that requires more intel than brute force and it has shown up their obvious weakness. The difficulty of this war isnt lost on us, but if Boko Haram can infiterate our Army, storm their bases severally, drive them out, cart away weapons, burn their jets, have the time to make a video and still carrying out bombings in States where the Military state of emergency is in force, then my brother there is a big problem..



[b]FootBall Age CheatHahahahahaaaa.. Well, You cant crucify Nigerians for being brutally honest. We can lie to the rest of the world, but we cant lie to ourselves..

How can a Country that wins almost all the junior age grade tournaments in Football fail to ever go past the Semis in the Senior tounaments against virtually the same teams that the beat silly at the junior levels?! Its either we grow at an accelerated age such that we peak super early and start deteriorating fast or.... WE ARE AGE CHEATS!! It was embarassing to hear Taribo Wests coach allege that the nigga was in his late 40's when he played for Milan.. Its Sad to note that Julius Aghahowa had been a Police officer for a considerable period of time before he joined the Super Eagles at age 19 or so.. Its horrible to see almost an entire squad disbanded when FIFA surprisingly introduces the MRI test on our squad. I am not really ashamed of this age cheat thing.. It is what it is.. But I also blame the decay in the country. Because if we had proper databases that documented Births and Deaths judiciously, it would be easy for coaches to verify a players age claim. Where the teams all have Affidevits swearing their age as against actual birth certificates, its hard for the coaches and these players are desparate and desparation breeds crime.[/b]



[b]OP.... lemme summarise;

How can you blame Nigerians for telling the truth about Nigeria?! We are suffering and obviously so.. Are you advocating Hypocrisy?! When Rick Ross came to Nigeria and shot that Video for the song "Hold me Back", Nigerians lost their minds like he was deliberately trying to make us look bad.. I laughed cos wether we admit it or not, He shot that Video in Nigeria. He didnt make up a hollywood set in the U.S and tagged it Nigeria, He actually was in the hood and that was Nigeria. Our sufferings cannot be hidden no matter how we try. Maybe if we talk about it long enough, somebody would finally start listening and take steps to stop the bullshiit. Police are killing unarmed citizens daily and fleeeing from criminals, Politicians are getting fatter and eating a large chunk of our budget and leaving the remaining 160 million plus to battle out for the scraps, Electricity is still epileptic in 2014 and our roads are still way way below par. Our Politics is still run with Guns and weapons and peoples votes dont really count. Our telecoms services which seems to be one of the few good things about us is still not even close to international standards, e.t.c..


Country bad.. Wether we talk am or not, e bad.[/b]

Justcash: I have come across several Nigerians that have complained about the way that they are being discriminated against by foreigners. They seem not to understand the reasons for this discrimination. Over the years, I have observed that the main reason for this trend is the way we present and talk about our country to foreigners. I will outline some examples to justify my point.

1: BOKO HARAM: The rise of Boko haram from a mere group of boy scouts to a full blown terrorist organization is Infact aided by the support and free propaganda executed by Nigerians. Boko haram is mainly concentrated in a small area of Nigeria, and they have been able to fight persistently. The rise in their morale is a result of the support that Nigerians unknowingly give to them through telling unconfirmed stories about their exploits.
These stories are grabbed by the international media and announced, thereby making Nigeria to look like a terror ravaged country. The consequence of this is that foreign countries become more wary of Nigerians, and take extra effort to check Nigerians that are going into their countries. Unfortunately, it is the same people that spread these news that suffer most from this.

2: EBOLA: Nigeria was Ebola free before Patrick Sawyer arrived with it. Few people that took care of him got infected before he died, and the LSG in collaboration with the FG struggled and contained the disease. Nigerians blew Ebola out of proportion. Some Nigerians kept spreading rumors about Ebola findings in states that were free of it. As expected, the fictitious news about how fast Ebola was spreading in the country was grabbed by the international news media, and it created panic in foreign countries. With less than 10 deaths from Ebola, Nigerians have been quarantined most at the entry points into foreign countries. This happened in HongKong, Singapore, Malaysia, US, UK etc. Of recent Nigeria was kicked out of the youth Olympics. This is the product of the way Nigerians self-destruct themselves.

3: NIGERIAN MILITARY:The Nigerian army was respected and seen as one of the strongest in the world. This is an outcome of the years of conflict resolution at home and foreign countries. Of recent, the rise of Boko Haram has created a new challenge for the Nigerian army. Unlike in conventional warfare across borders, the enemies are within and can easily blend into the civilian population without being noticed. It is actually a difficult conflict especially as the military will have to avoid killing innocent citizens.
Nigerians seem to lack understanding of this difficulty, so they keep taunting the Nigerian military. They write all sorts of anti-military texts, build propaganda to show that the military is weak and expose more of Nigeria's weakness to the world. As a result, Nigeria is seen as being very weak. The most recent effort is increasingly trying to show that the Camerounian Military is stronger than that of Nigeria. WILL IT SURPRISE ANYBODY IF CAMEROUN BECOMES GUTSY ENOUGH TO INVADE NIGERIA? We are hyping their military because they are dealing with a foreign (Nigerian) terrorist group that has barely penetrated their country. If the table was turned, and BOKO HARAM members were Camerounians, do you think It would have been difficult for the Nigerian military to contain? Like the EBOLA SAGA has shown, it is easier to contain a foreign menace.
Unfortunately, Nigeria is seen as a weak nation now, and every small nation can afford to damn Nigerians now.

4: FOOTBALL AGE ISSUE: The issue of football age has become a big problem in soccer. However, the way Nigerians trumpet about the cases involving Nigerians makes it to look as if Nigerians are the biggest age cheats in soccer. As soon as a Nigerian age grade team wins a major tournament, Nigerians take to the social media and start tainting the image of the teams by making unverified statements about the true age of the members of the teams. Unfortunately, these allegations, though mostly unverified, are noted by the members of the international community, and it reduces the respect that the teams have brought for the nation.
Recently, the Nigerian Falconets got to the final of the World Cup. Even though they didn't win, Nigerians have done the usual by going online and raising worrisome accusations against the patriots. They do this without realizing that they are shooting themselves on their feet. If foreign clubs had plans to grab them, these false age accusations may hinder their moves or reduce their values. Tomorrow, if the siblings of these critics are refused visa to play in a foreign country, they will blame the green passport forgetting that they are indirectly responsible for their misfortunes.

Nigerians must be careful about the way they speak and expose Nigeria. Nigeria is for Nigerians. If you kill her, you are killing yourselves. I BELIEVE THAT THE IMAGE OF NIGERIA WILL IMPROVE WHEN NIGERIANS STOP WASHING THEIR DIRTY UNDIES IN PUBLIC.

May God bless Nigeria and Nigerians
