Why compare crumps in America or Europe with your wage which minimum wage workers would like to make in Nigeria?

This is true for most professional Nigerians
that cannot wait to travel out for overseas minimum wage that looks big in naira. One of of the Nigerian doctors begged to Google average salary for interns in America compared to what they pay in Nigeria.

It turns out to be about $52,000. If you are overworked all day and night as interns are in most countries, that is less than minimum wage in America. Even $60,000 can hardly feed a family.

Can you imagine paying lawyers, engineers,
or interns minimum wage in Nigeria? The ones without a job are miserable but do not disrespect them with salary that cannot feed a family.

This is why our Youths are desperate to get out. Pay politicians part time. Pay workers more.

Do you know the difference between free air, house arrest, prison and fear of walking in public?

You will not until eye don clear and you see a Nigerian billionaire that cannot oppress or spend looted funds onstentatiously.

At the end of the day we all seek peace and happiness in our lives.

However, after accumulating all the money and properties, we discover that the very peace and happiness elude us.

Yes, you want that money first. Actually, the process of accumulating it is more fun than getting it. Ask successful stock manager like Boesky, Madoff and more.

Does Diezeani now enjoy peace and happiness?

This is the same man they called the "most detribalized" Nigerian because he brought Igbo into powerful positions they never had after the war.

What do they call him now ...... ?

Even if you are daft, deaf and dumb you know all the recent so called riches has brought and bought Nigeria the worst face of Poverty in the world.

Yet some people are flaunting oases of water in the desert.

How has this become ethnic fight?

Obasanjo is the first Head of State that indicated Police were recruiting thugs. The same thugs that rent arms out to armed robbers.

How long ago was that?

We all knew Buhari as a fanatic. But Jonathan that got votes from North and South after he got Activists to make him Acting President lost sight of all that and ruled with impunity. Even bragging that he created more billionaires than any President while leaving Delta area environmental degradation worse than he met it. Children of poor fishermen and farmers that played by the rules and went to school became employees of militias. While a few that were useless to their community dominated his cabinet.

Look, Jonathan made Buhari the President and lost an election.

Buhari will lose the country!

If this is a common practice, not a single person or just one soul had enough knowledge that you do not mix flammable liquid and fire or flame?

Dis prayer get k leg o.

Some people need to stop taking drugs to cure their pain for Yoruba unity.

Rich, poor, Militias, political thugs, agbero and all capable or crippled must unite at this moment to drive invaders out of Yoruba land. The only place even the rich, royals and Talikawa outsiders find solace but some bold enough to abuse tolerance with their criminal escapades as if Yoruba do not have enough problems of their own.

Find out how Yoruba drove out invaders at Osogbo and Ore. Any rich Yoruba wasting his money to buy votes outside Yoruba land when all hands and efforts must be on deck is a akotileta.

Sunday carry on jara no be today you get moni that would be useless unless you drive invaders out. Common sense is not common.

He told the world already that he is not a poor man and those trying to bribe him to blackmail him are wasting their time.

So what point are you trying to make here, that he collected money to buy his first luxury car?

The guy was a political thug and he said so but this fight is beyond politics in Yoruba land. All parties, thugs and Militias must unite to fight invaders.

You don't want Nairaland to be for Nigerians only.

The more diverse a site is, the broader their views and opinions. You also get wide discussions even from those you disagree with.

You are trained to defend your views against those you may not like. We can disagree without being disagreeable.

Yes, Very pained for you nah.

That in 2021 they are still using the same religion used to capture you as good Muslims and Christians.

Hopeless cases for Oponu(s).

Ahmeduana:
ARE YOU PAINED? Don't worry pain is allow.

Owo Abu ni afi se Abu lalejo.

Bill was not a saint either. He was linked to Epstein a convicted sex offender, the teenage girls peddler among the Royals, rich and famous.

Like Trump, Prince Andrew etc.

Rich is the ability to acquire your desires but not necessarily with money. It could be little pleasures of life like a garden.

Have you heard that money cannot buy you everything?

Sergio Cardenas:

You can hire someone to drive a car for you, make money for you — but you can not rent someone to carry the disease for you. One can find material things, but there is one thing that can not be found when it is lost — life.

Nigeria used all the money it made to buy Poverty.

What special training do Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram have to kidnap in the South that Southern or Middle Belt militia could not have acquired to do the same in the North?

Nobody has monopoly to violence.

Thank you jor. They have no sense of history or too young to comprehend.

You cannot be a politician in Nigeria unless you're a confirmed and celebrated looter, thug, bandit or Armed Robber as in Military or Police.

Are you surprised that Activists, no matter where they come from are called and labelled opportunists by the same Vagabond in Power?

budaatum:
There are some who say Nigeria was better off during colonisation too. Some are even begging for the return of slavery! I just think they were sleeping or not yet born.

The Buhari kitchen cabinet are living in the past days of Biafra war.

This is what they based their Fulani impunity on. This time around, they will be subdued first before the Regions go back to their differences.

Most of the ground soldiers are are from Northcentral championed by Danjuma. Can you get the support of Danjuma today?

Why does everything boils down to Christian and Moslem cultures.

Which one of them be your Papa religion? The Rev. Fathers molesting kids are not Christians or Pastors molesting kids no be Christians.

There are sane climes here in Nigeria where abuse of minors is an abomination period.

Only those hiding their heads in the sand, deaf and dumb do not know the master plan of Buhari and his kitchen cabinet to bribe Northcentral and the South Oba, Obi, villagers in return for their land.

Your lives or your land.

What other evidence do we need to prove that Fulani imported and sponsored terrorists and bandits into Nigeria to divide and conquer, not only Nigeria as a start but as a leverage against other Africans

Common now, there is no time without sin. How far back do you wanna go?

Even those in the 70s would tell you Nigeria was better in the 60s.

The point here is that Nigeria has gotten worse than anybody could imagine.

meobizy:
Nigerians have smuggled drugs, sent scam letters and partaken in ritual killings since the 80s. There were no good old days.

Who do you love more?

Me or m ... ?

Most law enforcement departments outside would swear Nigerians do not do hard crimes until Umar Murtala Faroq the underwear bomber opened a new chapter.

Nigerians were looking for him to tear him into pieces for giving them bad reputation.

Can you call that "good old days"? Today they are into hard drugs, rituals and banditry just to trend.

You are right about the double standard. But it is not only in Africa or Africans. Usually after dinner or visits, all the ladies closer to home including the wife visiting help to clean up and do the dishes together.

While, I mean while the men gather together in the living room, family room or basement to watch soccer or football. Sometimes they play other games while the wives chat and laugh in the kitchen.

The one that I cannot stand are the children, especially the boys leaving the dishes. Mothers would watch and clean up to the boys. But never, I mean hardly for the girls.

Why?

Nigeria has been going from bad to worse (or worser in in colloquial language) defended by cronies for parochial interests.

This rot did not begin with Buhari Government. This is not a blind spot, it is a deliberate action to make it the worst place for young generation while you used their income to isolate your individual family.

Look at 7 pages of distractions.

Very unfortunate situation.

Most heroes jump to rescue on impulse rather than think. A drowning person is very difficult to rescue without experience no matter good a swimmer you are.

The decision to rescue is based on who to rescue first. You probably have two whites and a Black here being rescued by who? Go figure who came first before they decided on him.

princewarri1985:
Am a professional and experienced swimmer who grew up by the river in warri here, i swear i will never take such risk, my 20 years back my uncle who is also a very good swimmer died while trying to rescue his best friend when their boat capsized, the idiot hand was still tightly held on my uncle collar even after their bodies was recovered, thats called the grip of death. I could take the risk if the person involved is my mother or my kid, i rather i try and we die together instead of living with that guilt for the rest of my life by surviving and watching them drown. THE GUY WAS STUPID AND MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE!

Nothing to SHOW.

Always going to since 1960

You simply refused to cram your times table from 2 to 12. Especially children outside Nigeria.

Another reason is prejudice. Yes, prejudice. There are many out there that just develop dislike for maths without even trying.

You cannot do anything without maths in the university at the graduate level because you need statistics. Otherwise, you have to rely on others' research or use the graduate students you supervise.

This is what many professors do with computer science.

Ilamina:
Unfortunately I don't like maths

Your father reminds me of the days Nigeria was Nigeria. You see men like that in every corner, every community.

Maths is needed for everything in life. If you teach your child "times table" early in life, they will succeed anywhere.

There have been attacks. But if they catch you, eeh?

They work with American and Israeli intelligence to prevent any.

Even at the expense of fellow Arabs.

They export terrorism though.

It is unfortunate that Awo had to explain himself continually.

When he started this 20 pounds, he was accused of trying to buy Igbo votes in case he ran when military returned power.

Twenty pounds were only paid by American bank like Chase Manhattan then. You could rent you a room in proper Lagos for 5 five pounds. One full bedroom with separate toilet and kitchen was two pounds and ten shillings in Surulere.

School Cert graduates were earning twelve pounds ten to fifteen pounds.

My problem with Awo is, the Igbo were not the only ones displaced by war. Midwest, Delta, Ore area and some border Northerners were also displaced by war. When Ojukwu bombed Hyde Park and level Casino cinema in Lagos, some people were displaced.

Now a whole 20 pounds which some Igbo never made monthly have turned to 20 naira.

Just that you know, laborers, house boys and many others were making 6 pounds a month. They could rent room outside Lagos for one pound ten.

Awo, in your grave, see your life? Akintola warned you against Igbo.

But then we all loved Igbo and called Akintola names. Even at least one of Akintola's children loved Igbo.

The day Nigerian war was declared most of the children cried because we were told our friends would be returning to the East and we would need passport to go and see them.

Many times, I wonder if these are the same Igbo we love so much. I still cannot get it out of my system. My first impulsive reaction to Igbo when I meet any is love.

I just don't know why these leaders dwell on promises, five years development plans etc when they have nothing to show for the last 50 years promises or plans.

Instead of sending beggars to other states, employ them to plant trees to enrich the desert and prevent desertification.

Haba!
