sreamsense: You are the one that psychologically scammed here! Christians follow Jesus example and not Britain even if the first becomes last. Christianity is the salt of this world, without christian values, love and freedom; you yourself will not enjoin this world. Christianity doesn't force you after showing you the love of Christ and the hope of eternal inheritance you have in him unlike other religion that opens entry but closes exit door. It is only in your imagination you taught they have abandoned Christianity. Has she now declare herself as atheist, Islam or Hindus country?
Christianity still remains the most populous religion on Earth, the most educated, richest religion on earth and most powerful (USA) that God that created heaven and earth handed over affair of this world. Without liberality of USA and strength of Jews, this world would have been so much unleavable if Islamic terrorists are not being prematurely sent away to queue for their 72 virgins. Imagine what this world will look like if all Islamic terrorists from Osama bin laden are still alife by now.
Christianity is marching ON, you are the one that is ideologically scammed. People that are far more educated and brilliant minds than you are too many in Christianity. There are uncountable number of professors (secular and religion), engineers of great minds, researchers, inventors, doctors, lawyers and many more. They are more knowledgeable and richer than you, so you are the one Satan scammed by replacing your virtues with mere philosophical stories to deceive you.
Way out for you is to have personal encounter with Jesus Christ himself so that you will be able to know that you are the one scammed and not those brilliant minds that have one on one relationship with Christ. When you are lonely, humble yourself, ask God to forgive you and ask him to please if he is real to show Himself to you that you are confused. Jesus is full of love, he will show himself to you to know close to 3 billions of Jesus worldwide are serving living God that is not among the deads. May Jesus extend His love to you when you seek His face in humility and simplicity of heart
Talk about being totally brainwashed by absolute nonsense.
There was NOBODY called "Jesus Son of God".
A complete LIE AND FALSEHOOD with ZERO EVIDENCE of his existence, never mind the ridiculous "MIRACLES" claimed for him.
Funny how your "Lord and saviour" supposedly came 2,000 years ago but only remembered to share his "gospel" with you a mere 100 years ago when the British decided to steal and loot your resources via colonial Invasion.
All of a sudden it became REALLY IMPORTANT for you to "KNOW JESUS".
Maryam Sanda was one of 175 inmates and ex-convicts granted a presidential clemency by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, after being sentenced to death in 2017 for killing her husband.
Her pardon sparked widespread criticism, with the presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga saying that the plea was anchored on her good conduct in jail, her remorse, and her demonstrating her commitment to being a model prisoner.
Somebody tell Rufai that Tinubu is the PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA, and therefore has the CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY to pardon ANY Nigerian for crimes committed, based on HIS conscience.
And tell Rufai that if he can't stand seeing Tinubu exercise his Presidential powers, he can LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
DomPerignon: The reason boils down to an entitled mentality by their people who expect FG to do everything for them while they leave their governors to loot the dry.
The SE is the most FG dependable.
90% of revenue to the region comes from the FG and most of that wasn't generated in the SE in the first place.
The people down there and their governors have a silent agreement which is ''you don't tax us, we don't hold you accountable '' .
The same people are also more accommodating to their governors brazenly looting and diverting public resources to their personal portfolios just as PETER OBI did during his tenure as governor because the people see politics as business to which those who scale through have the right to recoup their '' investments '' in running for office with heavy returns.
It goes just beyond their thieving inept governors . During the PDP era, an inherited Obasanjo unwritten policy towards placating SE PDP politicians was to award Federal roads maintainance to same PDP politicians. These projects were used not only to placate SE PDP politicians but as kickbacks and future campaign slush funds.
The policy was so entrenched in binding contracts that the subsequent Yaradua govt had no choice but to continue paying those crooks who hardly mobilized to site even after being paid and if they do, will carry out shoddy works.
This was one reason the Enugu - PHC road was an eyesore for most of PDP's 16yr rule.
When Buhari came onboard , he decided to cancel all those contracts and advertised a new contract for the rehabilitation of Federal roads in the SE. All foreign contractors did not apply knowing the level of criminality and extortion in the SE and they knew the former contractors will do everything to chase them away by mobilizing their criminal thugs.
The FG then had no choice than to do direct labour through the ministry of Works. This is one of the few legacies of the Buhari govt and to his credit he fixed most federal roads in the SE through direct labour under the ministry of works.
The level of irresponsibility of SE governors since 1999 to their citizenry has no part 2.
Other than the last immediate governor of Enugu, Umahi of Ebonyi and Solodu , all the rest have been useless.
You're right. It's only recently that they began having governors with mentality beyond personal enrichment.
Tammy2705: WOW, I CAN SEE THOSE POLITICIANS, THUGS, CORRUPT PEOPLE LICKING THEIR LIPS AND SAYING TO THEMSELVES HOW MUCH THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE OR WILL BE THERE SHARE FROM THIS,
kettykin: You are quite correct on this, I carried a feasibility study of the Lagos to Abuja railway with someone and I realized that Nigeria just made the biggest white elephant project. That project is not viable, this is more like a debt trap. Lagos just took a $3b facility for a railway expansion project which will never be viable. Thank God the generation of governors didn't continue the project, instead of that they should invest in electricity project and electric mass transit system
Railway networks are a PUBLIC SERVICE. They are NOT designed to be ''profitable''.
Who is supposed to eat the 'profit' or 'recouped expenditure' that you are so desperate to see?
You?
Railway networks are to help reduce the cost of doing business, ease transportation hassles, reduce weight on the roads, and promote tourism. Agricultural products and farmers are a big part of it as well, as goods from remote areas can reach urban destinations quicker and easier etc etc. The benefits/success of rail investment projects are seen in how they contribute to GDP as a whole, not on whether the cost of the railway projects are recouped by the govt.
DomPerignon: During the coinciding tenures of Obi (Anamabra), T. Orji (Abi) and that of Enugu, these 3 states signed an MOU with a Canadian firm to construct monorail lines in each state. This was sometime in 2010.
15ys later, not an inch of rail has been constructed.
The company GLOBIM which obviously had no experience whatsoever was only a conduit to syphon funds in the name of consultation.
You can google : ''Globim signs agreement with [insert any of the states mentioned here]
At the time Giromgory and Orji were signing fake MOUs meant to only syphon money in the name of consultation, Lagos state was drawing out and perfecting their own plans for a light rail system.
Lagos has rolled out several rail routes which are functioning and just signed another contract for a bran new route.
Instead of doing busy body for who pass you , why not demand from Giringori and his fellow failures in your SE why they stopped short of carrying out the project after signing MOUs with this obvious money laundry SPV.
I'm so happy you brought this up.
The biggest problem facing the southeast is not Abuja or Tinubu, but the uselessness of their state governors.
No vision. All they think of is how to loot money and buy mansions in America.
Give me one reason why a big city like Onitsha cannot arrange for even a small light rail system, even using Direct labour?
Nothing stops them. Just laziness and lack of visionary leadership or care for the people.
Every so often they will do a photo-op with some foreign company claiming there's a project coming up, and you never hear anything about it after that. Of course it's all corruption, like you explained.
If it's to post your pseudo-scientific, baseless, quack, discredited ''racial IQ lists'' placing black people last on Earth, you rushed to Front page it.
The same black people without whom there would be no internet or computers.
Or mathematics, writing, medicine, law, architecture, mining, metallurgy, astronomy, philosophy, international trade or shipping.
jedisco: The kind of things one sees on Nairaland. It's quite easy to brainwash many to see themselves as inferior
No wonder many have low self esteem.
What was this study based off?
It’s based off NOTHING.
Just some white kids in America (this kind of stuff ALWAYS COMES FROM AMERICA, nowhere else), white racists that sit in their mum’s basement and post anti-black TRASH like this.
AND THEN NAIRALAND, OWNED BY THE SAME WHITE SUPREMACIST GROUPS, posts in their Front Page.
OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES FROM BURKINA FASO TO MALI ARE RISING UP AGAINST WESTERN THEFT AND EXPLOITATION, while NAIRALAND IN NIGERIA is still peddling WHITE SUPREMACY and BLACK INFERIORITY.
A bunch of white high school DROPOUT racist MAGA in America will create an “IQ list of countries”, placing blacks at the bottom, and then Nairaland puts it on Front Page.
2mch: One person will drink ogogoro then start churning out statistics that don’t make sense. Then NL will push it to front page. Who measured the average IQ of everyone in these countries? Is it even possible? Fake list and fake stats for people to feed their ego.
Nairaland is OWNED by white supremacists.
“Seun” is just a cover they use.
That is why you always see these RACIST ANTI BLACK threads on FRONT PAGE.
Because you, like 99% of posters here, have NO IDEA how the world works.
How Europe’s wealth derives from their RAPE of Africa and the global south.
If you MOVED Africans to Europe, they would NOT “do as well” as modern Europeans because they would not make it their NATIONAL POLICY to enrich themselves by PLUNDERING the world.
