How can you build a sane country that doesn't give the common man an environment to thrive?? Do you know how many of our best brains are suppressed or have the country?? Look at the leaders we keep churning out...does this look like a country that REALLY WANTS/DESIRES CHANGE? A few handful cannot change the mentality of millions.

The leaders are not alien to us. We are all related and connected in one way or the other. Some are our fathers, mothers, wives, husbands, brothers, sisters, business partners and all manner of relationships. We can always caution and remind them of the collective needs they promised to provide.

The thing is, once we benefit individually, he is the best leader. He does not meet our individual interest, he's not fit to be there. We look the other way when it comes to collective benefits from our leaders. Our warped mentality is self-induced while the leaders take advantage to our detriments. Nigeria is a great country but we are the cog in the wheel of progress of this great nation. Our attitude must change before we experience real change.

Peace bro!

Once you've lived in a sane country for just 2 -3 years, trust me you'll almost wish you were never born nigerian. Naija is messed up. It's almost beyond repair.

Was the sane country not built by the sane citizens? Why can't we remedied our insanity and join hand in building a sane nation?

A graduate would rather armed himself with information to defraud and yahoo another instead of being self-reliance and a path finder. He would rather cut corners than leveraging on legit opportunities. He would rather talk about his religion and ethnic-affiliation instead of his country? Is that how a sane country was built? I need answers Sir

Nigeria is hell Mr man. You may be living a life of luxury but majority of Nigerians live in abject poverty by global standards. The problem with you Nigerians is that you hate the truth, accept and acknowledge that this country sucks the life out its citizens and leaves sorrow and pain.
If the migrants had seen a little bit of hope in Nigeria, they would have stayed.
Nigeria has never been a great country, it never has, it never will.

Are you really in hell? Tell me sir in all sincerity.

Every country has its ups and down. I insist, Nigeria's problem is caused by the citizen, the solution is DIY. Nigeria as an entity is hale and hearty and full of life, but the citizens unbridled greed, selfishness, incurable docility and unpatriotic zeal are stifling the life out of Nigeria. Where you are going as an immigrants, was it not built by the citizen? SMH for the desperation by Nigerians

There's no point running to the unknown. You and I need attitudinal CHANGE, things will be better once again. It's no rocket science.

The only workable shortcode is 'Fine'. The only language Nigerian telecom companies understand when you tell them 'I don't want' they oblige.

Other codes, they always find a way round

Nigeria is not hell my friend. We Nigerians make the country hell by our selfish and unpatriotic attitude. All these talks, Nigeria is zoo are all expressions of our attitude. Who are the people to make Nigeria better - Alien from Mars? If not each and everyone of us.

Come to think of it, why are you not taking the same grave risk as the men going to Libya? as if Libya is better. Where some Nigerians feel are not hell, were these places not made by humans who united for a common purpose?

We only unite for tribal jingoism.

Desperate people do desperate things. Am not surprised.

Nigeria will be great again whether you believe or not

The Police Interrogator is so professional. There's indisputably a huge gap between Nigerian Policing and non-Nigerian/Non-AFrican policing. There's absolutely no reason to batter your suspect. The law says, your suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

There's no gainsaying that men and women of the NPF are animals, uneducated and uncivilized as proven by their treatment of their suspects in their custody. The Nigerian society is not safe from them.

Let call to mind, These Nigerians are really soiling our good nature. Imagine, the officer said Nigeria is a curse to Africa. That's a strong statement of fact. Oh Lord! How did we get here?

Guy, what are you talking about? What you posted is an image not a video to prove your point.

I expected a slow-motion video...

The influential, The Economist once declared that Jonathan ran the most corrupt, most clueless government in Nigeria’s history.

http://punchng.com/jonathans-pathetic-apologetics/

I couldn't agree more to Punch. The above aptly summarised your thought-provoking commentary - for the benefit of Nlers who don't read but rush to make misplaced opinions.

I don't blame Pro-Jonathan, corruption is endemic in Nigeria but that will change soon

EFCC does not need to break your walls to find money that does not belong to you. Whistle-blowing has come to stay as one of the most lucrative businesses in Nigeria.

EFCC will find the money without breaking a sweat. Chill and stop being leery

Looking at the horizon, there is no formidable contender for 2019. What remains are tested and corruption-indicted politicians. Nigeria has no room for corrupt politicians again. We have all learnt our lesson.

PMB does not need to campaign for next election. We have all agreed to keep him in the presidency and God has honoured our collective agreement. Otherwise, we will import a president.

masterpiece86:
Former Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman Prof. Attahiru Jega, has replied ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, over comments he made concerning the 2015 general elections.

The former President said it was strange that the state recorded 1.8 million votes in the presidential poll and 800,000 in the National Assembly election on the same day.

“There is nothing particularly special about the Kano result; it is a general trend as many voters were more interested in the presidential election than in other elections.

http://dailypost.ng/2017/04/27/jega-replies-jonathan-comments-conduct-2015-election/

Jega had a valid point. I was personally interested in voting out the clueless government in the presidential election. Other elections including the upcoming local council elections in Lagos were/are not of interest to me. I didnt and shall not vote in the elections.

We all gave the immediate past government a chance to represent both the minority and majority humanly, which Jonathan happened to be the privileged leader, he blew that chance BIG time. He's now acting like a drowning man looking for what to clutch on. It's now all water under the bridge. Jona should learn his lesson and move on

divinehand2003:
Obasanjo in the book is quoted as saying that following Umaru Yar’Adua’s death in 2010, he endorsed Jonathan for the 2011 presidential election principally to solve the problems of minority agitation in Nigeria.

The former President said: “I saw the emergence of Jonathan as an opportunity to solve the problem of minority agitation. The three majority ethnic groups in Nigeria can always sort themselves out but not so for the minority. A good example is my state here in Ogun.

“Despite the best of intentions, nobody from Ogun West has been able to become governor because of this minority issue and it will take a conscious effort to make it happen. So, it was in the context of that I had to plead with prominent people in the North to allow Jonathan run for a term.”

I warned him not to make Diezani petroleum minister

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/04/jonathan-beginning-small-presidency-obasanjo/

Sheer attitude of an ingrate. You bit the finger that fed you, you are simply irredeemable. Jonathan dug his own grave. Obasanjo is a force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian political space whether you agree or not. He becomes an enigma if you downplay him.

Jonathan and his cohort are crying over spilled milk now. International Communities knew he was grossly and hopelessly incompetent to lead a complex country like Nigeria.

Jonathan emergence as Nigeria's president lend credence to my averred disposition to leadership of compensation, which has been the leadership practice in Nigeria. This style inhibit growth and progress.

Op, your question does not make any sense to me.

It would make a whole lot of moral sense to Virgins only.

As long as you have one or more sexual partners before marriage, and once in a while you offer sex and ask for a favour in return indirectly, you are no different from a recognised 'fancy woman'. There is nothing like ex-harlot unless you turn a Romance Catholic Sister for real.

In fact, I would rather marry a recognised 'fancy woman' than marry a neighborhood 'coded runs girl', if I am left with this option.

Damn! How I love the 19th cars, especially the Toyota Landcruiser of 1958. Classically vintage

Secret or open life does not guarantee one hell or heaven. We were conceived in sin. We are sinners daily. We commit sin by our thoughts, words, actions, feelinsgs. All sinful souls shall die. We can only strive to be better persons daily. Our justification and salvation is left for God to decide. Church and pastors don't guarantee you salvation. In fact, Nigeria pastors are not interested in your salvation. They are interested in their posh lifestyle funded by you.

Strive to be better. Live right to your conscience and ask God for His grace daily

What are all these nonsense on NL Frontpage?

No wonder marriages don't last nowadays - plenty vain and vague publicity instead of modesty

The prophet has a residence permit and a registered office in Canada, therefore he does business in Canada and is legally subjected to Canadian laws. Omega Fire Ministries is also registered in Canada. It can sue and be sued within Canada.

It also revealed Otobo’s status at the time as a refugee in Suleman’s care, after which Otobo had been invited by Suleman to Italy and other European countries in continuation of the grooming whereupon an amorous relationship had developed between both parties, resulting from psychological programming sessions during the grooming periods

Just thinking out loud, why grooming can not be done in Nigeria. It must have been a very mandatory grooming for it to necessitate European tour with a single lady.

The last part is what I don't understand. Please can someone explain this part "resulting from psychological programming sessions during the grooming periods?

Looks like, facts are beginning to unfold. I am watching in HD

16 Count-charge offence for one man - a supposed man of God? The man must be really wicked.

On a serious note, Lawyers are very funny set of people. If they count all your offence for a little misdemeanor, you would be pondering when you committed all the offences listed against you.

Lawyers are simply troublemakers than peacemakers

The thief used a POS/Web transfer channel to remove the money why?because he knows if he uses an ATM his face will be captured by CCTV or the camera on the machine meaning No be today him de do this kain thing.

I don't understand why it would take a bank weeks to investigate a rather simple thievery. The urgent thing was for them to trace the account your money was deposited. The money left your account to someone's account. It didn't just leave your account and disappeared. What are BVN records for?

Some of these unwarranted debits from customers' account are bank insiders' job, hence the lackadaisical attitude of banks to investigate and nab the culprits. They steal to make up for the shortfall they have. It's totally not cool in this time and season and not any other season.

Methinks, the reduction in chequing transactions where banks staff would deposit a cheque in a random customer's account, call the customer later and request for cash refund feigning he made wrong deposit, has hit them big time. They now resort to stuffing ATMs with part counterfeit N1000 notes and POS-based thievery. So many sharp practices by Nigerian banks because the Apex bank doesn't care.



CBN has to investigate banks and protect Nigerians from broad day light robbery by banks. Come to think of it, you are paying all manner of settlement charges for banks using your money to make profit, yet they want more.

I will use the transgender man photo - Rizi Xavier Timane (he looks like an oracle) to swear for Nland moderators for disturbing the public peace with all these BBN (Black Berry Nigeria) news.
