₦airaland Forum

With people like you in Nigeria, we'll remain a backward nation. Estimated 100 billion naira stolen by Mr George and you're asking for a pardon after doing just one freaking year in prison?
Perhaps we should release every murderer in Prison after they experience a spiritual rebirth. Perhaps we should free everyone who tells tHe court That the devil made them commit a crime.
While we're on that, maybe Christians who pay tiThes should be made exempt from taxes, after all they've already paid some money to the earthly representatives of the King of Kings.  

You people truly exasperate me!

On a general note, I see a lot of ignorance on nairaland especially from our kinsmen in diaspora. You can have a very good career in Nigeria with your integrity intact and not having to lick any bosses' backside, it just depends on the company you work for. There are a lot of companies with well laid-out structures designed to prevent nepotism and favoritism especially in appraisal and pay determination processes. Simply put, your direct boss does not determine your appraisal 100%. You have processes to fdeal with integrity issues that will keep the whistle-blower anonymous (for conflict of interest, corruption etc). Your pay is well laid-out and never comes in later than 24th of every month come rain or shine. Personally, over the last 5 years I've averaged about 20% pay increase per year. To summarise, investigate the particular company you are interested in and ask questions of insiders. That a good gauge, not what one anonymous person says on nairaland.

Again, a lot of ignorance being displayed especially by our folks in diaspora. This struggle is not about the concept of public-private partnerships and what have you. It's a struggle against a cabal's intention to enslave a people, many of whom have known no other homes since their forefathers settled in the fourteenth century. If LCC had taken the coastal road, built it whichever way they liked and cahrged whatever amount they want on it, very few people would have complained and they would have been stifled easily. But for tinubu, through LCC, to take the only existing road in a neighbourhood, resurface it and add a lane on either side, build 3 toll gates within a 24km stretch and intend to collect 120 naira per pass from motorists for 30 years is something that will not happen. You are free to have your opinions, but we who are on ground and feel where the shoe pinches will not allow this injustice. They should have dared to collect the tolls on January 3rd, then they would have seen what their eyes have never seen before. Bloody rogues!!! Vagabonds in power!!!

I keep asking, where exactly is my 3 million/annum tax going if govt cannot provide me an ordianry road. And I challenge any of you who is knowlegdeable about this axis to tell me just one thing that my taxes afford me in this state. Are we second class citizens even in this state? The ONLY benefit of governance we have is being taken and given away to the chief rogue, Tinubu, and you all say we shouldn't kick?

Make una siddon there!! If dem born dem well dem for try collecvt the toll na. We are waiting patiently, let them finish their deligerations.

How did you know that

This is how you people quote the Bible to suit yourselves. Did the same bible not urge you to "Give unto caesar what belongs to Caesar"?
Your so-called repentance has no bearing on the justice and law of the land if you commit a crime.  Justice must be served.

Personally I welcome official opposition in d SW, PDP fits d bill being a national party, all dat remains is for credible candidates to take up candidacy of this party and discuss issue based politics.

If d PDP candidate in Lagos say he would tear down those lousy toll gates, he would not only have swayed a large % of Lagos electorates to his party he would actually effect change in d lives of his constituents which is one of d fundermentals of democracy.

You mean that glorified dual carriage road that was there before. Isn't the lagos-benin road also a dual carriage highway, but look at its condition. The expressway's construction is an overhaul, and not a repair job.

Fact is, if you cant afford the tolls, I wonder how you were able to buy a car.

so egyptians are not africans ?  Shocked Shocked
