Thank you jo.

Simple stat, some people nor sabi.

foryourmindlol:
India has 1bn population and 83 million people are poor.

Nigeria has 200m population and 80 million people are poor.

6% vs 33%.

Nigeria is still the poverty capital of the world.

Difficult to make out. Being a lawyer or doctor does not make you instantly rich. Some of them are still jobless.

But everything does not have to be in money. As a lawyer, he could have advised her mother where to sit down and sell or help her obtain a shop, find out what can bring in more money for her. There are many insights he could have given her.

Remember that one of Nigeria's footballer's mother refused to give up her shop. Many of you do not realize that as you get older, you need something to do and if the only thing you know is selling nko?

Getting out everyday, exchanging words and looking at people in the sun is much better than hiding in the house in cold weather.

BTW, there are university graduates that help out their mothers at the shops. Some of them modernize and improve their mothers' trade.

I tell you, some mothers are stubborn but hawking from street to street, No!

jerseyboy:
Better than being stuck in Nigeria for many. Nigeria drains the life of her citizens, slowly.

You have not got the memo?

Except Africans. Even if you pay 1000.00 plus cost to apply to die for Ukraine.

Cubalabloo:
The only thing that can alleviate this tribal clashes is just fvcking divide the country. There is nothing like one Nigeria.

What are you going to do when Aguleri or Modakeke or Fulani start internal fights with their states turned into countries?

The contradiction of Africans, especially supporters of Putin ideology to force Ukraine into a Union by Tulasi is surprising.

Yet they want Odua, Biafra and Arewa Kontari.

Give them a choice between migrating to America or Russia then they echo Ukraine's choice despite their educated history.

Russia rigged Brexit for this British Government to split European Union. It is paying dividends.

Just as Russia got Trump in to split NATO, it paid dividends.

Do the British realize that the same Prime Minister is Turkish?

Some of these foreign Generals need to come to Nigeria for training.

The American General was the last soldier out of Afghanistan.

Two Russian Generals have been killed in Ukraine.

What is wrong with them?

Parachoko:
Poverty dey Nigeria

My immediate gut reaction.

Deejayprof:
God will take control of the situation and breathe Hos peace upon the world

Soldier of God spotted.

Sidon dia, you hia

Heaven helps those who help themselves

I would have been against this until it happened to my friend.

Tradition is tradition if it does not involve rituals or blood. Please always have in mind that price is supposed to be a token. In some of our cultures, it is returned or an exchange of traditional price of marriage.

In othe cultures, if the lady has a PhD, you might as well elope, your children will pay later.

This guy is lucky that he was not asked to pay penalties and fines on top like my friend.

Usually, the girl thinks her boyfriend can afford it.

The point is glorify good behavior, ideals and discourage rituals, drugs and easy money.

Yes, guns in America encourage crimes compare to Australia or even Britain.

In Nigeria, we have lost our bearings with social medias encouraging "gifted" and politicians using Abu money to appease Abu as stomach infrastructure creating abject poverty in the land of milk and honey.

After all is said and done, we have to realize once most people get, seize or are voted into power, power goes into their heads.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. You may love or disagree with Putin or Trump, they were produced by the East and West.

The most important point in this informed discussion is that nobody can be trusted with power. There have to be checks and balances and the leader must clearly understand that.

Say all you can, man can be evil anywhere BUT there are more checks and balances on their powers in the Western Democracy that in the East.

Africans must devise our system along this moderation of power. History teaches us that we all have a dark past.

Do we want to learn and strive for ideas and ideals or use them to justify one power over the other.

If you see goods wrapped in Chinese, Russian and American shining paper, na which one you go buy?

I don't want to hia say it depends on the quality. Even if dem be de same quality or Chinese made but wrapped in American paper.

De currency una value so much, no be printed paper?

War crimes are defined by the winners of wars.

You can only kill people once and not more than once.

Even countries with the least amount of nuclear can destroy the world. The reason nuclear war is a nonstarter.

Yeah, Russia can destroy the world many times over, North Korea can only do it once. What is the difference?

Look at the war this way. Nobody wants World War III except Russia is ready if attacked.

Look at how many countries have been sacrificed in the so called Middle East just to avoid greater War.

There is absolutely no difference between what is happening in the Middle East and Ukraine. Russia is just as restrained in the Middle East as America is in Ukraine.

They are all collateral damages. Who wants the end of the world?

If I were the parents, I would not have said a word.

Who and where in whole wide world would see you as courteous?

Tinubu forgot to mention that he KIILED Funso Williams.

He sent Pa Dawudo and Adeniran Ogunsanya to their graves broken, in regret. After handing Gubernatorial ticket to him because he was a member of NADECO, instead of the winner, Funso Williams.

When Funso picked up the PDP Ticket, rather than face him man to man, he feared another defeat and killed him.

A game he learned in Chicago as a drug pushers.

Like play like play World War III

Engineering is not only design and construction, it planning, innovating better ways or modernization of old ways of doing things easier.

Engineering has been going on before schools were established or the construction of pyramids.

All these have been going on in Nigeria before foreign education and religions.

The only engineering we do in Nigeria is copy-copy others ideas and constructions. This is why we prefer foreign constructions and their skilled mechanics, iron workers factory workers supervising our engineers. We call them experts (raids).

Since Carter Bridge to Eko Atlantic, Volkswagen to Lexus, how many local internships and apprenticeships have we produced to stand on their own or established inter-Africa or international firms?

No country can stand without local engineers in different fields.

Svlla:
It's thievery nonetheless

Sir, you are right.

But how did Putin steal Britain election through Brexit for Boris Yelsin or steal American Election for Donald Trump?

Read the article again.

Putin appealed to some Western greedy instincts by financing their business, giving and promising generous contracts inside Russia. While African countries do worse for greener pastures abroad, like Ajaokuta Steel, Putin does this to capture Western democracy for the Russian empire.

Svlla:
True

But touching a country's reserve is thievery and this is the first time am hearing someone wants to sieze another's reserve

Well let's see how it goes

First time?

France is still stealing French West African countries Reaserve since Colonia days to present.

Svlla:
Touching another country foreign reserve is thievery and a declaration of war

I hope you know that

Please educate us. Where do those foreign countries where you put your Foreign Reserve keep their own Reserve?

You behave like a country called Nigeria and even authoritarian country like Iran, you will be treated as such.

Keep your Reserve in your country, do not launder it out like Nigeria.

Op,

Even if you slice their block heads open and educate them, they won't use it or believe it.

Call it mental block, blind spots or whatever, the inferiority complex is deep.

A palace coup d'etat is brewing in Russia.

USA use election to recalibrate, Dictators are shot by his trusted men. Anyway, any leader insinuating Nuclear option has gone mental.

OP, there is nothing wrong with you. Many guys are jealous of fine guys just as ladies are of their friends.

When these girls see a handsome guys, they want them for themselves. They will never act cheap with you in case you end up as their husband.

Even the worst of them will act hard to get.

Develop bad guy attitude and they will fall, nothing to lose.

If you want to stay good and not change just for sex, there is a girl out there for you but do not be surprised if she is not a virgin like you.

Thank you my broda for your sweet tok.

You guys said the same thing in Libya luring Nigerians into their militias on both sides.

During and After their wars, Nigerians were slaughtered from both sides. Unfortunately, they are not here to tell their stories. Only a few escaped to tell foreign journalists.

Recruiting Agents, una don come again o!

ChiefSosa:
Those that died fighting to better their home(Nigeria), what did they gain? The soldiers and other security officials that risk their lives day and night to fight Boko haram and other insecurities in Nigeria, what did they gain? Are they not being owed salaries/pensions for months and even years? Are you not aware that some of them are homeless and even begging to survive?? Does that not show that the labors of our past heroes is in vain? When they die, do their families get compensated with good money or jobs? What tangible thing have they gained from the Nigerian government??

I can confidently assure you that the Ukrainian government will reward any Nigerian(s) that picks up arms to defend Ukraine in a time like this. Even if they die in this battle, the Ukrainian government will make sure to extend certain benefits to their families back home. The Ukrainian government will even take care of them waaaaaaay better than the Nigerian government will ever do. What they will benefit from the Ukrainian government in a day, I'm sure the Nigerian government will not give them in a decade.
We wish them safety anywhere they are, either in Nigeria or Ukraine.

The same soul that should have died fighting to better their home.

May the wasted soul Rest In Peace where they make no difference.

DispatcherLagos:
A wise man will rather die in Ukraine than live in Nigeria

It is the same brick laying, grave digging and heavier jobs that those you met in the United States were doing to send themselves to school while feeding their families at the same time.

How dare your lazy ass dare devil? You were pushing drugs to become millionaire.

How many Nigerians in those days care more about drug money than the reputation of their family names?

I just hope Nigerian chest beaters stay out before they put another Nigerian trying to keep his job overseas in trouble.

Understand that they keep low profile because their colleagues are looking for any faults, just to make sure they fail.

There is no prestigious job Nigerians have not occupied. Stop competing with those whose positions are "first" overseas.

Despite proxy wars in Iraq, Syria, three by British, Russia and America in Afghanistan; Super Powers have not learned that there are no more cake walk when they invade.

Could this POWER obsession be Putin of Russia or Tinubu of Nigeria
