It is a misconception to think Fulani dominate Nigeria all by themselves. They have enablers, most of whom are Hausa that are honorary Fulani before they can get any tangible position in Nigeria. Even some Southerners claim some relationship to Fulani. These are the ones used to suppress the whole of Nigeria. Whenever this seems inadequate, they throw the border open for Fulani recruits from the rest of Africa.

Most people that understand Slave Trade know that Africans were used to watch and suppress their people. The House Niiggers were used to oppress the field ones.

Unfortunately, other forms of slavery and caste systems still exist in various degree in Nigeria.

Before we point fingers, until Hausa are liberated by the Fulani wannabes, Nigeria has uphill battles.

Find out why anyone would call his home sshihole if not for being reduced to the lowest form of human at home. Only to travel out to suck sshiholes for $100.00.

There must be a renowned Fulani medicine man somewhere in and out of Africa to treat Buhari instead of going to INFIDELS to treat him with pigs and other body parts.

One would have thought Saudi Arabia or others places Allah resides would be his preference. But if you see death in the face, other people's money, God and medicine can never be ruled out.

Give credit to wives. Most of them do not depend on their husbands income alone. They actually support the families, especially the children by buying and selling. Sometimes, the children help out.

Yet, nobody sings their praises and they are not loud.

The days of rehabilitating prodigal sons are over. These leaders are not even humans, they are vultures.

This is not the first time Nigeria has been excluded from debt relief.

Despite cry from international religious bodies and Private org. Paris Club loan was paid and delivered. The single biggest openly transfer of wealth from a developing country to rich countries because the money could be better spent. Like loan forgiveness for poor countries.

No single region or ethnic group has loyalty to Nigeria. Get into Government if you can, chop and clean mouth.

What do they do with looted funds? Launder!

WHO LIVES ON MINIMUM WAGE IN NIGERIA

Road block is officially back in Nigeria. It never left anyway as the police could not do without their 20 naira head tax per vehicle. So much noise, directives and threats have been made from the Chief of Police down to area chiefs who collect their return from this “family support”. As predicted, they have backed down. If the police can not live on their salary, one can not but wonder who can live on minimum wage.

I still remember that every pay day, some of our drivers would pay me what they borrowed the previous day or so. The following day, they start borrowing again. Some of them have two or three wives and many children. On Fridays, some of them put on nice African regalia in lace material. I could not even afford these clothes. One of the Youth Copper had warned me that if I ever appeared in one of those suffocating suits at her party, she would totally ignore me. As a matter of economics, I took many suits home with me, so I need not buy any. As for “aso ebi” count me out.

I later realized that the African regalia make you look like a prince of the soil or a “somebody” in or out of Nigeria. I have since changed but not totally out of dear pocket. African clothes were expensive for me because I had a bunch of cheap suits with me. So, it never ceased to amaze me how clerks and drivers with children can afford such a luxury. Their wives also help by buying and selling to make the home.

Needless to say, there are all forms of family support in Nigeria. The police have now found sympathy with many of the drivers because they think police are poorly paid. More important, they do not want to go through harassment that will cost them precious time on the road. There are others who are not licensed to drive on the road. So they are only too eager to satisfy the demand of the police.

Go to any office in Nigeria and try to locate a file you are interested in. There is a head tax for that. When I talk about the days when one would be so impressed, you willingly give a tip or dash to the worker, people look at you as if you come from Mars. I even read about a time, according to one of the police chiefs, when a policeman would shove your bribe back into your face because their welfare was good. I simply can not remember when police refused bribe. Sorry!

In the banks, there are some heavyweights that get prompt service while the rest of us are waiting. Some of them get the door open for them into the managers' office, while the rest of us wait and wait. It does not take too much imagination to realize that some workers hands were being greased by the heavyweights. Well a little confession, I once saw this pretty girl at the bank, my polished broken English gave me a prompt service.

You see, some of us were neglected for fear of spilling the secrets of money sharing at work. If you wonder out loud what the hell was going on. There are some standard answers. They said many of you came home rich and do not the need the pennies they share among themselves. After all, without making a month salary, many of you already brought cars, clothes and furniture. So what else do you want? That was hard earned money from “gburu” before 419 or ABC's 20/20.

There are doctors and nurses who direct patients to their private clinics. Some even refused to see patients who have never been to their clinics. The same is true of mechanics. At SCOA or Leventis and other repair shops of repute in those days, mechanic would give you their cards directing you to workshops.

As a court clerk in those days, some of my coworkers had houses already, with high school certificates. We were foolishly obsessed with traveling out anyway, why take stupid chances? One of them who got caught lying as a judge intermediary sold all his houses and still end up in jail. Oh yes, some judges and magistrates are greased by clerks, lawyers and policemen acting as intermediaries. That I knew, and I have no reason to believe that it has not got worse.

One can not be faulted then for asking who live on their salary. Look at the fees paid in those private schools and tell me who takes that type of money out of his salary. I do not know what they teach the kids, more than how to speak in foreign accent. At the end of it all, those kids can neither be understood in Nigeria nor in the Countries they were trained for. Like some of us, they can neither live in Nigeria nor outside Nigeria.

My brother used to work in one of the Boards in charge of some allocations. When a friend of mine heard that my brother was there, he traced him home. He was disappointed that my brother lived in a modest house, and concluded that this one “never saw anything straight”. I asked him why he never got any allocation. He said a bunch or a clique were in charge of allocations. They tell them leave tiny crumbs alone since he came from a good home. Good home my foot. They would ask you if you could survive in jail as they were ready to die there.

It boils down to a few apples messing up our Country. They have entrenched their dare devil mentality on the rest of us and are ready to die fighting for it. A former military head of State put it this way – if you planned a coup, be ready to die for it if it failed.

Majority of Nigerians are clean. Indeed, majority of Nigerians do not live in the big city economy of “cash and carry.” But in a Country where source of food, water and animals are polluted or encroached upon by the desert, there are fewer to go round. People tend to flock to greener pastures in neighborhoods causing conflicts, or check out of the Country.

If the minimum wage is meaningless, how can we effectively tackle corruption? It is becoming obvious that we may be working on symptoms alright but missing the root cause of our problem. The difference between the wages of the very poor and those at the top is just too wide in terms of welfare, enumeration and estacode. More money does not mean more products, if we all feel the pinch of higher prices, the rich will wise up. I know people who call on Tsunami to wipe us all out so that our children can start all over again. Revolution? Not in Nigeria please.

What is all these hoplalala? Take the money jor.

Even for yonder 75 pounds will buy you more than drinks, fish and fries just to meet and gist nah.

Take de money and make your own signs Against Buhari. Who is going to query you?

Danjuma, see e yor life ...

What do you call a son that throws his father's house wide Open to Asma rebels of Libya, Bandits and Terrorists just to win an election while closing Southern borders?

Then come back and blame them after paying them a fortune that they want more money and refuse to leave.

Enough is enough.

Thanks OP. Real fun.

They can't stay out, they just want to belong.

Some of them will come with their village translation when they discover Lagos.

Didirin (s).

How can a President go to a foreign country and refuse to address his contarimen?

Once upon a time Nigerian politicians cannot wait to be invited to Harvard or Oxford to address Nigerians and give progress reports or lecture on the country they rule.

What changed?

Unah dey fia.

Why blame Central Bank?

Since any military leader can send soldiers to loot Central Bank directly with no resistance; including Abacha and Buhari.

Find out why Awolowo, the most hated man by other Nigerians resigned.

Abeg, stop blaming de man jor.

How una know say no be fetish or ritual? Wey ime wife nor know.

Hey, na joke o.

Those advocating Sharia courts should stand accused before the courts in the North for bribery, corruption, banditry instead of just the Talikawa.

But in the West, there are customary courts already that take care of crimes without religious or ethnic leaning.

I was waiting to read that Tinubu used his personal money, plane and his house abroad to accommodate him.

Sir, with all respect to your age, yours is blind loyalty.

johnmartus:
Even when Tinubu that helped him with lagos Taxpayer money didn't complaining Opadokun you an elderly man learn how to shut up graciously.

I am so sorry I have to laugh.

Do you really expect these people to separate from the West?

Even Arabs came to Lagos to beg. Imagine the distance travelled to get here.

A very sobering death of a promising young life snatched away.

Please be careful when you are looking for who to blame. Put any group of people stuck together with little of anything while their neighbors enjoy everything and see crimes soar. But it is not enough to justify crimes in African American communities.

The 80% stats of homicides and murder in black on black community crimes must not be misapplied that Black Americans are violent (and that Police kill less).

The stat is no different from white on white homicides or murders. So be careful with stat used to justify Police killings of Blacks. More whites kill whites just as more Blacks kill Blacks.

If poverty in crime invested ghetto is the reason for high crimes in Black areas, what is the reason for highest rate of homicides, murders, mass murders and suicides among privileged whites (angry white men)?

Be careful with stats you do not understand used to justify discrimination against the oppressed.

Are the Fulani bandits that rule our country the oppressed class or the Hausa?

Politics in many countries is not for gentlemen. Soludo is a decent man.

My greatest fear is for Dr. Maduka.

How many times are Fulani going to say the same thing before you believe it is in their DNA?

If cow has more value than their own lives, you do not expect them to value your lives over cows, do you?

Many people are still dumb in this country that anything US says in your own land is the ultimate ring of truth.

Most demonstrations during, before and after #ENDSARS, people died. The military said they would do the same thing again at the tribunal abi na enquiry self.

When are you going to accept that Nigeria slaughtered people for any and no reason?

They only negotiate with those that put up formidable resistance. US report my foot.

Yoruba have to encourage more Igboho, more Fasehun OPC, etc to fight off invaders when this country separates.

If you think they can survive on their own land, you do not know them. They have to seek out Yoruba land to make a living. This is why every one of them claim relationship to the West.

Yet, they cry everyday that they want their own country. These people can never survive on their own without the West.

Prostitutes are human too.

There was this prostitute I always asked for out of many because of the way she carried herself when I was temporarily living alone. She started crying one day. Na so she asked me to buy her a sewing machine so that she could quit prostitution and relocate back home.

Very nice girl that had to stoop that low to become a prostitute. It's a different story today as most universities are full of prostitutes.

This guy reminds me of Eddie Murphy old joke about going to a small village in Africa to marry until the girl learned how to say - half half!

Another guy wanted only a ugly girl to marry because nobody would sleep with her tight pussy. Until he realized he was not the only one thinking that way. They all want her tight pussy.

Why are men so presumptuous when it comes to women?

If Tinubu can steal Lagos blind, imagine what he would do to Nigeria, if one still exist.

It is very embarrassing that of all fine characters within Yoruba, some people glorify a man that can pick any thug or agbero to any position of power in Lagos.

Can anyone, except Noriega get away as a drug pusher even when US Government turns a blind eye?

Noriega thought he knew so much because US gave him "immunity" until they used him dry. Then, went after him.

Tinubu is a US spy. Yoruba have too many fine characters. But Tinubu is only useful against Yoruba haters in Lagos.

Buhari, one question sir.

How many times were you directly in charge of Petroleum and how many times have you been head of state?

After wasting resources in exchange for bribes from oil companies to ignore law and regulations on gas flaring.

Who are you fooling in your old age when you have no idea if you are in your full mental capacity, dead or alive.

Every demonstrated evidence about Fulani atrocities that captured Hausa slaves and now moving South is propaganda by their defenders.

Not all Hausa are Fulani slaves.

Listen to Hausa woman that knows them well:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKyazWmvcrk

It is surprising that some believe that Fulani Marauders are taking a break.

No they are emboldened by Southern Presidential candidates making their pilgrimage to the North to kiss the rings of their masters..

The same thing those before them did and sunk Nigeria to the Poverty Capital of the world with the most unemployed Youths.

While the Fulani Youths go on social media to celebrate stolen money from the South.

I have been hard on doctors that japa. But even if you are not a doctor and they refuse to pay you, how can you support your family?

Especially the children. You get up early to leave home like a jobless loser so that your children and wife do not ask you for money.

The problems in this country is mismanagement and has been going on for a long time before Jonathan or Buhari but they both contributed and exploited the mess into greater mess.

Why are politicians industry viable and striving while essential workers like engineers, doctors, maintenance workers are owed salaries for months?

Until the Youths seized the vultures or bull by the horn, I mean hold the neck or blokos of politicians to fire, your future is not secured inside or outside this country.

miyagi01:
Being a doctor in one of the foremost teaching hospital, I haven't been paid any salary this year, and I've been going to work every damn day. To make things worse, we all get a hazard allowance of just 5k as part of our salary while I heard university lectures get hazard allowance of 50k.

There is a curse on Nigerians if these are your choices.

This is great and what we need it now. It may encourage Power production.

I have always wondered if someone like Jelani, Dr. Maduka and Kemi Adeosun should take Government positions or go into politics at all. These are talented people that have demonstrated their skills in the private sectors abroad against all odds.

They should be in the Private Sector in Nigeria. Government jobs will only kill their skills as they join the Jones.

If you cannot beat them.

Nevertheless, respect to Jelani.
