Politics › Re: Ranking Of Countries In Africa That Produce The Most Beef (FAO) by laiperi: 5:20pm On Jul 24, 2021
When you talk about jealousy, this is what it means. Giant of Africa for nothing, nothing.

So why am I jealous of these smaller countries?
Education › Re: 'Greedy' Nigerian Professors And Their Fat Salaries by laiperi: 4:58pm On Jul 24, 2021
It is almost an instinct to covert naira salary to dollars.

But what matters is what Naira can buy in Nigeria and what Zimbabwe dollars can buy in Zimbabwe.

Most professors bought their last house or new car before Structural Adjustment imposed by IMF that later admitted it didn't take cultural values into consideration.

Liers, their goal was already achieved.

It was some of the same professors that supported and argue for SAP benefits which later justified Devaluations. No country except China ever recover from either.

Nigerians must learn how to live locally. We cannot keep on comparing ourselves to salaries in Britain and USA while avoiding salaries in Russia, China, Cuba or Sweden, Switzerland and Poland.

Indeed, since the collapse of the Union that brought those with less than high school into Middle Class in America, that country has never been the same.

Some of the United Auto workers, plumbers, iron workers or carpenters were making more money than young lawyers, doctors, engineers and buying houses in Middle Class neighborhood right in America, Canada and Britain.

Ignorance is killing us at home, not only professors, doctors and graduates.

Don't be in a rush to die bcoz of problems, we will all eventually die one day.

If u hear what others are passing through , you will know say your own na play...
You are so right. It is about a one eye man that saw a blind man. He thanked God that he could still see. When the blind man heard some people crying he asked, why. He was told someone was being buried.

He immediately thanked his God that he is alive and in good health. Those with cancer or in excruciating pain wish for death to end it all.

With too legs, arms and sound brain we give up and refused to fight our demons back.

Those with iPhone or Mercedes flaunt it as if the rest of us are failures or just jealous. Until the day they are caught.

In a crowd, everyone was asked what they want or wish for. While most asked for billions and vanities, yes vanities the bad word in Nigeria. A few asked for life, few asked for good health but this lady did not want anything, just a cup of tea she could afford!

Many people fall, the ones that get up are called success. When there is life, there is hope,
Politics › Re: Igbo Tribe With Tribal Marks - Photos by laiperi: 3:20pm On Jul 23, 2021
This is the height of ignorance if these people actually had secondary or college education. This denial and counter denial about marks, scarification, tattoo and incisions by tribal and ethnic Africans also done throughout the world have been used by some Nigerians to debase one another.

Those who claimed that Africans cannot read or write because they cannot read or write what African writers decorated caves, calabash, human bodies and sculpture with are getting encouragement from African children making fun of one another.

Many of you guys are so sick of yourselves, it is not difficult to understand why you readily sold yourselves into slavery or open your mouth to suck shiit for printed papers. Then beat your chest blue and black.

People whose complex are so deep, they run away from themselves, their villages and point to their homes with African cultural left hand.

Morality has lost its compass in Nigeria.

It reminds me of the time people used to go home and report to the mother that their son has gone astray.

You know we lost it when some mothers started asking: Na your money e steal?

Let us keep blaming others, until kingdom come we will be in the same situation.

Since 1966? No!

Nigeria has been ruled since 1959 by Alliance. Find out the members of those alliances.

Many of us agree with you.

Suffering is hard to take. The spirit might be willing but our body is dented. This is why we run from one place to another.

Even if you are comfortable abroad but you are picked up by lawful constituted Authorities and treated as if you are in the hands of bandits or terrorists, you will be glad you have a country like Nigeria to seek solace.

Anyone, even the privileged ones, run out of Nigeria only to return when you are treated like subhuman outside.

At least you can protest and fight at home. Abroad, who born dog?

Anyway, we would have done better with more activists running instead of a bunch of thugs.

Another big disappointment was Bankole as the cry for Youth leaders got louder. He turned out as Bank-Ole.

Hunger get ime own levels.

Leaders in Ghana have done better on poverty levels in Ghana to where tiny pieces of nylon bags of rice, oil and gari have become an insult. It shows they are not as desperate as Nigerians.

We have a country of few riches in the midst of massive abject poverty. This is why we celebrate any source of money.

I hope this good doctor is elected. It will send a message to all Nigerians that Activists deserve to be elected for offices if you want to change your state of hopelessness from the ground up.

Charity and civilized climes begin from home.
Travel › Re: DON'T LISTEN TO Anyone Who Discourages You From Travelling Abroad by laiperi: 3:24pm On Jul 20, 2021
Who and what made them better climes and where do you get the resources and talents you laundered from?

Those who fought for Independence and made Western Nigeria better than where you are running to were younger than you and were members of Nigeria Youths Movements.

Which people are you talking about? The ones that blessed you with religious opium by crusade and jihad or may be the ones that preached democracy to you but turned to blood suckers and flesh eaters when they lost free and fair elections?

A beg park make Ai pass jor!

Politics › Re: Does ABOMINATION Still Exist In Nigeria by laiperi(op): 1:22pm On Jul 20, 2021
Nigerians that are notorious as Africans were until recently, the pride and leaders of Africa.

Until entitled children started going around Africa resting on the laurels of their fathers' contributions as if they are the children of Nkrumah that invested comparatively more (by size and income of his country).

Search your conscience and ask why ABOMINATION is now celebrated in Nigeria.

Surprisingly, most Nigerians that do not live in big cities are still decent. It is those few that could not be tolerated in their villages that swear they are coming back to that village as bragados.
Travel › Re: DON'T LISTEN TO Anyone Who Discourages You From Travelling Abroad by laiperi: 1:02pm On Jul 20, 2021
I hear you bro.

Every Nigerian wants security and peace of mind. Most Nigerians and foreigners enjoyed that even in the North especially Jos, once upon a time.

Any degree was a passport to peace and security especially if you are from the North.

Fast forward, you make a good point. But please admit that Southerners are going through hell, not only because of lack of security. They are going through the worst economic upheaval of our time.

How many Northerners would risk desert and sea to cross over to Europe through Libya?

As for the Op, any crumbs in Germany as a third class immigrant is paradise compared to Nigeria.

At some point, eye go open. Crumbs with indignity become a curse.

Nigeria is a sinking ship. I'm a northerner but I don't think political zones have anything to do with leaving nigeria...
It's not just about having better opportunities.
If you've been to the northern, you'd know that nigeria is a failed state. Insecurities, currency devaluation, lack of access to social amenities and much more.
I can do anything to leave nigeria but not just because of the opportunities but the peace and serenity that comes with it

Nigerians are known to be willing to do just about anything for money.

We grew up with some decency that make us recoiled at Abomination.

Can anyone think of Abomination that is not celebrated today?
Travel › Re: DON'T LISTEN TO Anyone Who Discourages You From Travelling Abroad by laiperi: 11:42pm On Jul 19, 2021
The only problem here is lack of opportunities at home or in your town.

I cannot imagine an educated Northerner glowing over a foreign country like this if there are better opportunities at home or in his village.

People should be candid, you leave wherever place you call your village or shiitholes for lack of opportunities, not because you want to go and develop Germany.

Regardless of which ethnic group commit crimes disproportionately outside, all Nigerians are smeared.

The point here is to condemn them no matter where they come from.

It is an abomination to defend criminals or even celebrate them while Youths that played by the rules wallow in poverty.

Shame nor dey catch some vanity worshippers. Always looking for companies in crimes.

They all claim to be business men and always have front office to justify it.

You may be right about the combination of Obi Cubana/Hushppopi ticket for President.

Nigerians love and worship money no matter how they made it.

Have you ever wondered why Activists are ridiculed and debased in Nigeria while men and women of shady characters make it forcing a choice between evils

Staphylococcus:
Mompha is a business guy too. He runs Bureau de change. Hushpuppi is into real estate, as a claimed by their personal self.

Even Invictus Obi too is a business man.
Celebrities › Take Another Look Obi Cubana Paid Little For Big Advert by laiperi(op): 2:56am On Jul 19, 2021
If Obi Cubana had to pay publicists and PROs for such name recognition, he would have had to pay much more money.

Now he can join any party and run for President.

Don't forget, Nigerians do not vote for Activists only money talks.

Wow, I am sorry if that landed the wrong way. It was never meant as an insult, especially to a lady.

I would have expected that at 47, you would have experienced nasty flood at Mushin at least not to mention other areas.

I do respect other people's views but facts are facts, not views. You can hardly find a safe place in Lagos when it comes to flood.

If you live in Lagos most of your life, you should not have missed that.

Most of Lagos is under sea level but I will not exchange it for anywhere.

Against, I am sorry if you find that fact as insult.

Do o!


ajebuter:
Older folks?

I'm 47 and l have lived in different parts of Somolu, Bariga , Palm Grove and Pedro for 30 years..

I have known these places when they were flood prone and l made my comment on the changes that have occurred in those places , without bias.

Always be polite and respect other people's views on a public forum..

You don't have to agree but you need not be nasty either..

Others defend and praise their own, no matter what.

Age abi na exposure dey worry you. Mushin, Bariga, Palm Grove have also flooded at one time or the other.

Ask older folks.


ajebuter:
In my hood in Pedro Palm Grove in Lagos,

We didn't even flinch during the heavy rain

Zero flooding, dry land even during the rain

One of the luckiest and flood- less areas of Lagos is Shomolu, Pedro, Palm Grove and some parts of Bariga

Tarred or inter-locked roads and good drainage system in most parts of Palm Grove/ Pedro.

I strongly recommend these areas if you want floodless Lagos
Politics › Re: Do You Know Buhari Jailed Professor Banji Akintoye? by laiperi: 2:15pm On Jul 16, 2021
You should reserve the worst shame for those who made it possible and paved the way for Buhari to return.

After all, Nigerians fought, protested and sued to make Jonathan Acting President. And rightly so.

As the most promising and most educated candidate for President, even the North voted for him not to mention massive votes from the South. What did he do with all the goodwill?

He squandered it and called his benefactor a motor car tout. Even worse, those smarter than him hijacked his cabinet. They did not turn Nigeria to Eldorado, they stole it blind.

Sadly, he left his Niger Delta worse than he met it. What a disappointment for the HOPE of Africa!

fenibak:
The dictator Buhari committed so many crimes as a military head of state and as I said the man should have been banned from ever holding any democratic office in Nigeria because the man is a dictator and a failure and dictators don't change, they remain the same forever and I was surprised and shocked that Buhari jailed professor Banji Akintoye and watch him say it himself in the video below, Shame on the people that brought this 1983 failure back to power
