Honesty, it is difficult to understand how anyone can leave his village to commit heinous crimes in another man's land and claim bravery.

That those who cannot come to your land and do the same are cowards.

So if we separate by God's grace, we still have to watch out for international cold blooded robbers.

When foreigners catch Nigerians like Hushppupi, it soils many respectable people living from paycheck to paycheck.

Unfortunately, this was how we labelled Ghanaians to drive them out. Has crimes decreased since then?

How do we solve this crime problems that has reduced the quality of lives?

I see all the environmental degraded areas posts by all sides in Nigeria.

You know, if you post some of these about the South in America where some poor people still live in the 19th century, it might dissuade them from jumping into anything to reach America or some poverty struck areas in Europe without heat.

If those pictures cannot discourage Nigerians from going to America, do you think all the dirt you showed about the West would discourage you from trooping in by thousands everyday?

A beg, make una nor fes. My apologies.

I just thought there must be something attractive about Lagos that thousands of people troop in everyday and make it. Bragging that:

Lagos flow with milk, honey and easy victims.

Land of 72 virgins and Paradise

Come as tenants to become landlords in the suburbs.

From living in one room shop to mansions in Agegunle area

From illiterate to graduates of universities

Marry their ladies and become Chief at home

All these and more can only happen in America! No, Lagos too.

Anybody that deny fortune in Lagos that they can never get in their villages, Allah dey.

Iceberg3:
Deeply concerned self appointed minister of Igbo affairs,show us the list of Yoruba business owners in Maiduguri,in the north

Again, sorry for the misunderstanding. People take facts differently.

How can a friendly suggestion like this turned into insults?

As far as I know, no outsiders would dare commit major crimes there to create insecurities.

For ages outsiders cannot buy land, even local women could not. Fellow neighboring states indigenes were thrown out.

Where is the insults here please?

[quote author=majamajic post=91950519]Op have u heard about strangers in East complain about insecurities ?

If Ndi Igbo is really serious about turning Biafra, Onitsha or Enugu into world class, they have a great deal of reorientation to do about Tolerance and Accommodation.

Visitors and Strangers are attracted to places they can feel comfortable, trade, live and prosper.

What is the point of going to live or visit places where even fellow neighbors are thrown out?

Something to think about.

Nigerian politicians make more money than any other politicians in the world, they and their families still leave. At least until they are facing criminal prosecution for money laundering or deported.

So what is the difference between money laundering and talent laundering?

Even you feel threatened!

You must be one of the prodigal sons.

143WaZoBia:
Be real nigga. Slawormir come and see something.

You see how well you diagnosed the problem like most Nigerians?

You put sugar in baby's mouth, he never spits it away. But if you know how connected you are and that privilege got you in the best positions in life: the best toys, the best schools in the world, the best jobs at home and the best pads anywhere;

according to you, enjoy it and keep your mouth shut. Do you know who complain with the poor youths and reject local salaries because they can live free abroad?

My friend, you are begging for revolution. If the children of the rich protest against their class, privilege and parents outside, it is a no-no in Nigeria?

When the rich do not have enough poor people, they eat one another.

143WaZoBia:
You really need to make it for everyone else coming behind you bro. People don’t complain about too much enjoyment, it has never happened and will never happen. You won’t if you were in their shoes rather you will openly support and defend anyone you know in that position, be it your parents, relatives or just one of the people you have come by in life. You will their praise even when there’s no drum.

It is obvious why those born into capital country of world Poverty, should cry out and ready to bolt out of their situations.

The children of the Rich whose parents are still ruining the Country pretend they are suffering too and cry like the poor.

Who is fooling whom? Cry to your parents. There are more privileged white youths protesting against injustice in Europe and America you value so much.

Do the same in Nigeria.

If you really like your friend, once she gets married give her space.

Most women keep away anyway. A guy once said anyone that married his old girlfriend was in trouble.

Guess what? His wife old boyfriends never stayed away.

.

Saraki don beat the system again. Small time nah ime children go say Nigeria na useless country, they must ja pa!

Well, British doctors are fleeing to greener pasture, more money and better environment.

The void is been filled by Indian, Egyptian and Nigerian doctors that consider what British doctors are fleeing from "luxury".

By the time they are posted to hazardous areas, rural and remote areas they refused to go in their own countries, they will realize that khaki nor be leather.

They will take insults, abuse and instructions from their white superiors in better positions and lick their wounds.

So far almost all the doctors that died of Covid-19 are minorities. Enjoy your money in heaven. Those arrogant boys at home become slaves abroad. It takes a while to reject dishonor when you are hungry.

What! Saraki got looted property back?


Operation Declare Your Assets Or Forfeit Your Surplus

Please let us stop chasing the ghost, cut the chase and go after the individual surplus. Every Nigerian knows where the money is. We know there is even more money outside the Country, foreign Governments have been sensitized to the source and they are now embarrassed as receiver of stolen properties. The problem is those conspicuous spenders who are spending the money in our face, living it in our face and no one can query them. Actually, Obasanjo had to negotiate with one to keep some stolen millions to avoid lengthened litigation, only to renege on the terms of his release

Once upon a time, a Nigerian would take ten percent kickback from the central Government contract, but never from the local area where everybody knows everybody. Time has changed. Conspicuous spenders have taken over. They are encouraged by praise singers who eulogize them. There are two ways to dislodge their ill gotten surplus – 1. By revolution or 2. By due process.

There has to be due process. It has to be done with human face so that it does not become a class or an ethnic thing. I do not think Jerry Rawlings is better than those he killed in Ghana in the name of revolution.

Many of us are copy cats. If it is done in American and Europe, fine. If that is the only way to catch the fat cats, I will tag on. Well, the best way to catch a drug dealer, a spy, a terrorist and a rogue in these countries is to demand accountability for any conspicuous spending. Can you imagine a Nigerian oppressor without conspicuous consumption?

Conspicuous spending is a major part of our moral bankruptcy. It sends a powerful message to the have-nots to make money by any means possible. The armed robber, Oyenusi confession did not teach us any lesson. They always return to the crime scene.

Oppressor, for fear of dying, has to spend his money sooner than later. Watch out for his cars, his houses, political donations and funding of privileged organizations. We have a tax system in Nigeria but we have deliberately not used it to catch the oppressors. We are on the right path though. If anyone needs Government service, they ask for three years income tax receipts. Great! Let us move a step further. If you under-declare, explain how you are going to finance your proposals.

It is one thing to live like a pauper in Europe or America trying to help a relative, it is quite another to live like a king in Nigeria spraying dollars and pounds claiming to be a pauper, on record. We know the salary of head of Governments, head of the Arm Forces, head of corporations. If we multiply it by two, taking "fringe benefits" into consideration, oppressor would still have a case to answer. The allowance the politicians award themselves these days is nothing short of legalized looting, while the masses groan.

The story these days is that some individuals who are not well connected are being turned into scapegoats, to make anti corruption bodies look good or bad, only to be discharged by our court of law. They must be chasing ghosts to come empty handed. If cash is seized, properties seized, cars are seized and video camera showed conspicuous spending in Europe and America, who will discard those as evidence? These are stronger evidence than the reports of committees. It is used in the countries we mimic and copy to death.

Poor Nigerians have been asked to show proof of any money anywhere and anti corruption bodies would go after it. Haba! Asking the mouse to catch fat cats! I think it should be the other way round. Go after their cash and belongings and let them account for it. That is why these countries have laws against money laundering.

There are so many projects the loot could be invested in, other than being squandered. If it is spent to open a business, we can say at least gainful employment is created. No matter what we say about Abiola, he created jobs, to his own credit. That money could have been used to create first class hospitals and solid returns could have been made. Americans and Europeans are going to first class hospitals in Asia for elective surgery that are too expensive at home while Nigerians travel out for headache.

Private schools investment is not so risky to make them so expensive. One wonders what they teach and how any Nigerian could afford them. They all have foreign sounding names, and Nigerians can pay in any currency. Well if the market is there, share the loot! However, public schools have been reduced to daycare centers. Where is the balance?

We now have men of "timber and caliber" who have not stolen all their life. But wait! All they did was deposit hijacked salaries, in special banks while families go desperate and hungry. As soon as another allocation is released, they replace the one in the bank while the new allocation collects interest. They dismantle the fabric of our society by denying workers the regular flow of sustenance.

This is new in Nigeria. Nobody used to mess with salary.

This other side of the coin is the destruction of families by non-payment of wages. Husband or wife without salary goes begging or goes into private practice, "pp". The wife tries to cover for the husband, asking for neighbors' help - "borrow borrow". This is the beginning of the end of family as we know it in our society. When a woman goes begging, her honor is compromised. She looses respect for the husband. When that happens, her home becomes unstable. The next victims are the children.

We are now destroying our communities because morals have sunk to the lowest level, discipline and order have succumbed. These chain reactions culminated into criminal activities and prostitution in our Country and beyond. It is manifested on our street, when allocation of salary and logistics did not reach the target and police collect twenty naira as "family support" and maintenance of vehicles. It is misery and suffering, a vicious circle in the land of untapped resources because of this curse – oil discovery.

In a depressed economy where money is not circulating, prices should fall, right?

Wrong, not in Nigeria!

If a country gets the opportunity to export its surplus product, like cassava that can grow all over Nigeria, one would think that as more cassava is produced, more jobs will be created and the jobless would have money in their pockets, right? Wrong, not in Nigeria.

It seems the Government is happy that gari is now expensive and the farmers would be richer because the high cost will spur production. Is rice more expensive in Asia because it is exported? What do we have in Nigeria to eat within the grasp of the poor man? I do not understand why we turn every blessing into a curse.
Cooperative farming by giving grants and revolving loan to agriculture graduates and farmers should have preceded export. On one of his foreign trips after the 1999 election, it was Obasanjo who asked foreign Governments if "na democracy we go shop?" We all clapped for him.

Hunger changes man into unpredictable animal. The days you asked children to eat well before drinking is gone. A woman had to confess that she had to put more pepper in food so that her children could drink more water as they eat. Nigerians skip meals certain part of the day and label it: 0-1-1 or 0-1-0 or 0-0-1.
It was Umaru Diko who said he had not seen a Nigerian picking from the dust bins as American poor picked from the trash cans. That was a prediction then, a reality now. What is the Agriculture Minister trying to tell us about gari? He needs to declare his asset and forfeit his surplus. He will then realize that the price of gari is not funny.

STARTING from today (as if I am Obasanjo), anyone who wants to hold public office, even as a dog catcher (majamaja) must forfeit his/her surplus assets. It must be repeated at the end of every term or change of position or every tax year. A relative who got transferred assets or "gift" must forfeit it and be punished for receiving stolen property.

I have noticed that it is the rich who apply for Government programs (house, land etc.) in Nigeria. If land that were taken from families for the purpose of establishing Government Reservation Areas (common good?) are not needed anymore, it should revert to the owners. Even properties of students returning from abroad which had got stuck at the Ports were also sold to the rich. Could it be because these policies are made and tailored for filthy rich instead of dwindling middle class and the poor?

So, any application to any level of Government, even for a parking permit, land, house, vehicle license must show, not only tax clearance (not cooked) as it is now done but must be willing to forfeit any surplus twice above his or her salary declared.

This is not new; Murtala Mohamed declared his assets and forfeited the surplus. That did not stop Professor Ohanbamu of the University of Benin from taking him to the court.

One of our Governors, while living in the US, had to forfeit about half a million dollars in his account to the US Government because his "lawyers advised" him that it might be more expensive to fight it. Well, let us mimic and copy that. If you can not account for it, it belongs to the Government.

Ribadu claimed that there are 20 Governors laundering money into foreign accounts, apart from the one that was caught red handed. There are local government chairmen who have switched the use of cocoa bags to carrying naira. If we block them at home and block them outside Nigeria, there will be less incentive to steal. What good is money a Nigerian can not spend?

Politicians award themselves allowances for trips inside and outside Nigeria indiscriminately as if they govern in Europe or America. Where they got their standard or guidelines from baffles me. That is the petrol that flames the anger of the people. I do not have to be from the South-south areas where environmental pollution has made fishing and farming impossible to be mad.

We must commend the Judge who granted strict bail condition to Tafa Balogun, but we must take a few steps further. All the sureties must declare their assets or forfeit the surplus. That will instill discipline among Nigerians that if you are going to stick out your neck, you must be cleaned, excuse me, I mean almost clean.

The who and who of Nigeria who asked Obasanjo to release the son of Abacha should be called upon to declare their assets or forfeit the surplus. If that was done, Abacha would either still be in jail or his sureties would be holding empty bags. Those standing by, for Dariye when immunity ends will have something to learn from.

All those who paid for Ikoyi houses must account for the money. If the bank gave it to them, there must be collateral (and a down payment) for that kind of money. Otherwise we have the reason why these banks go belly up. Another reason for investigation.

I do not understand why they can not find all the contractors who took Government (our) money and run. Before giving them contract, they must produce sureties or collateral with their fancy cars and houses, a lawful way to forfeit their surplus.

All those seeking titles in the communities as chiefs, in the churches and mosques must also declare their assets or forfeit the surplus for the sake of the poor. Nigerians figure that they can steal and give a percentage to Obas, Obis, Emirs, mosques and churches. Then, can wipe their sins off the slate. Pay off their sins.

I am not sure if you are counting how much money we would have made so far, but it seems like billions to me. Once we go after their assets, the crooks will come forward to redeem themselves or forfeit... Agaracha must come back.

In the so called civilized countries, they have whistleblower law. You can get one to certain percentage of the money reported and recovered. We can do that in Nigeria but with the nuisance law in case of those who want to report their enemy for spite.

I am not under the illusion that I will be accepted as a poor man in Nigeria either but the masses are so angry, they can not identify their enemies or too scared to. They also claimed that the professionals, files pushers, are the ones who rationalize the actions of their fat bosses while they starve to death. "Who need enemies, with friends like that?"

I used to enjoy the slang, idioms and music in those molue buses. Especially the conversation, Nigerians can strike conversation with one another even if they have never met before. We would talk about those who stole millions with pens (Nobody could count to billion dollar or naira then.) Compared to those who stole hundreds of naira, that faced firing squad. Pen robbery was more damaging to Nigeria than armed robbery?

If we can shut off conspicuous spending, there will be less desire to steal. Where are you going to show off? Outside Nigeria where nobody knows your name? Unless you present your ID and where you got your money from.

Buying a house outside Nigeria in those days was not easy either. You had to make sure your coworkers do not know. They might become jealous of a foreigner because they had none, as they spend their money on vacation and other luxury, while we saved. There was this friend of mine, a West Indian, who got fed up. He declared at work that he just bought another house, the biggest in the neighborhood. He could care less about how his coworkers felt. That was his own sweat and hard work and if anyone tried to harass him, he would fight to protect his job. A hard working man should have nothing to fear.

I heard some of the rich Nigerians were moving their money to Canada, hoping it will be safer than US. Let them. No comment. Some may even move it to South America. The more they move the money, the less the chance of seeing it again. Cuba may be better!

In Nigeria we do not work as hard as we do outside. We come back home and become oppressors contrary to what we preached and protested against when we were outside. As a friend told me, outside Nigeria you have to work for dollars and pounds. In Nigeria, your workers do and you spend. No place like home, eh?

I am really surprised when I see some of the most dedicated people outside Nigeria turned into kleptomania once they land on Nigerian soil. Some of the oppressed consider it a national cake, and can not wait to get there and steal their share. It is greed and the ease of getting away with stealing. Operations declare your assets or forfeit the surplus will instill fear of being caught into us.

By curbing conspicuous spending, the pressure on our people, especially youths to live up to unsustainable standard will be gone. Who knows, sanity may return to my dear country.

How many months pregnant is she? You nor know say as belle dey big, more food is required. Abi you think say na your Sapele water alone fill her belle.

I do not carry brief for the writer but I enjoy some of his writings enough to post it.

Do not cut short the accomplishment of Great Jaja of Opobo. Before Jaja the Efik, Itshekiri, Ijebu and King Pepple in Bonny resisted the British. Jaja of Opobo traded like King Pebble before him in the inner land.

The Great Jaja traded directly with the German, French indeed Europe cutting off the British as midde men. In the face of stronger Fire Power, Jaja supplied soldiers to British against Ashanti. He was finally subdued like the Efik, Ijebu, Itshekiri, King Pepple before him to regain inner and Lagos passage to Europe.

Lagos was a natural seaport. The British were not needed to dreg it to make inner trade to Europe. They exploited it.

Fantasticcc:
Trash
Lagos cannot survive on her own
And king jaja opobo never went to Lagos stop twisting history,he dominated the trading sector through bonny island. the white man came to him in bonny and he travel out through bonny to Britain. so don't make it seem like Lagos then was better than bonny.if not for the British that dredged the Lagos port and made it there capital, Lagos will just be like any other island in rivers or akwa ibom.

Lagos As The Most Viable State May Secede
Sep 11, 2016 | thewillnigeria.com

Nna, what types of insults are these? Insults, what do you mean by insults? Please stop jare!

Lagos State is the richest in the whole of Nigeria and that has been proven many times. If you do not believe it, ask Obasanjo that tried to starve Lagos State during his authoritarian civilian rule. Lagos simply ignored him and moved on. What is surprising is that Lagos did not hijack all the taxes Federal Government collected in Lagos during that time, a tit for tat. Believe heaven and earth, if Lagos had the power, Obasanjo could have come back begging on his knees.

I see, so those are the insults Lagosians felt. If that was all, we could have kissed and made up. What bothered many Lagosians is why every little group in Nigeria, that cannot live within their means keeps on threatening the whole country that they want to secede. We keep on hearing about secession in the North and South everyday. We have looked into their leaking or creative accounting; we are still looking for just one of them that can be viable. Or proven viable before.

There are some Southern states that get special derivations from the Federal Government because of the amount of natural resources they produce. The last we heard, some of them are struggling to pay workers' salary. It just does not make sense. The more money they get from natural resources, the more they want. Even if all the money is given to them, the fear is it will be going to the same leaking basket. How did we live before and how are we going to after oil?

See, a beg see who is talking. Whose pocket drains Lagos money? Sincerely, we do not think that is anyone's business. As long as oil producing states' sons and daughters are receiving their fair share, the rest of Nigerians can go to hell. It is their money, they can spend it anyway they want. The only problem is that the oil companies are the ones taking the lion's share of the profit, not Nigeria. So if Nigeria gives up its share, they would still not get their due! So O!

The irony of it all is that they cannot be as rich as Lagos. Lagos does not have natural resources as such to depend on. They optimize their ubiquitous location to enhance commerce and trade even before they became part of Nigeria. Most of the old trades were unique except slave trade that was vile and odious. Commerce was the forerunners that gave Lagos its edge trading local and imported products as center for West Africa. Lagos was not the only seaport.

Even Jaja of Opobo eventually moved his commerce to Lagos. There were too many constrains on him in the East. He had to move twice because he was sold as a slave and could not rule the freeborn where he flourished and made it big. By the time he got to Lagos, he was just out of reach. Most of his enemies could not compete. There is some accommodating magic in Lagos.

Today, Lagos is the heartbeat of the nation complimented by Ogun State as the manufacturing centers in Nigeria. Looking back at recent history, one can understand the reason the whole of the Western Region led Nigeria as the richest and the most cosmopolitan area where people of different ethnic groups within Africa and beyond mingled and traded with one another.

The point here is that it took more than natural resources to make a nation. It takes ingenuity, tolerance and the ability to open up to others willing to abide by the rules and culture of their host. The rest is amicable living, trading and socio-economic development. This is what makes Lagos unique in Africa that was inherited from the old Western Region, which was also an economic power at its own right.

Apart from the great Western and Eastern African Empires, African regions went into slumber devastated by slave trade until the “First In Africa” of the Western Region. What is so surprising is that throughout the economic boom in the West, secession was never a threat. Nigerians and other Africans living in the region enjoyed the economic boom extended to their relatives in the old Mid- West. Economic boom came with free education, health and of course cocoa export.

Therefore, there are reasons for Lagos to cry for secession from the rest of the country. True, but when regions that contribute very little, with no or dwindling natural resources keep on poking others in the eyes, one has to wonder who actually deserve to make demands. If we have to go by the amount of contributions made since the inception of the union called Nigeria up to the present, if taken into consideration, Lagos deserves the right to cry for secession.

People forget that natural resources come and go. Cocoa was it in those days. We got tin from Jos, coal from Enugu but today we have given up on what we were good at because of black gold called oil that has become a curse. We neglected our agriculture and started importing what we can produce at home while exporting foreign money we do not mint in Nigeria. Drop many seeds and they will grow. The North used to produce groundnuts, they abandoned that.

However, foreign currency that cannot be printed in Nigeria, we export them prodigally. Believe it or not, in the days of Jakande, all the fertilizers allocated to Lagos was given to the North! Today most of our food comes from the North, yet they have less rain than the South. Indeed, if the North decided to secede and starve the South, the militia and their supporters may die of hunger. Can you think of a better way to win a war than starving your enemies?

Lagos State has gotten smarter; they now lease land in neighboring states for agriculture. We are finally realizing that a country that cannot feed itself is still a colony of those that supply the food they rely on. Most of the countries that got rich on oil, forget how to grow their own food. This is why Venezuela cannot feed its people in spite of the abundant amount of oil they sold for foreign cash and wasted. Market support diversity, not monophonic commodity.

The people of China were starving some years ago until they return to the farm. They even export food mixed with all types of junks for starving countries to buy. Monsanto is popular for genetic modified seed sold all over the world. If we think we can exchange oil for food forever, there is famine and hunger waiting for us and our children in this foreseeable time, not future.

Lagos State must learn from its Northern and Southern brothers and prepare its diversified economy for the next generation. Whether Lagos secede or not, there are others watching and waiting with envious anticipation that Lagos is within reach!

Typical a broke Nigerian always asking for source of wealth but can’t ask for source or end of poverty

I have not read the whole comments but agreed that left hand use and right is almost worldwide.

In the 19th century they finally built the engineering miracle that solved the problem of infections like dysentery etc and later antibiotics to bacterial infection.

Well before then, Africans separated what went into their mouth from what came out of their anus. They always built toilet far from the house or at the far back of the house.

When you are eating, we are encouraged to use one hand but the other when cleaning our anus for reasons discovered in the 19th century Europe. Today those reasons are history since we have a way of flushing our waste far.

So that is a good reason to separate each. Which one you used for what is another story with mysteries as given here.

Still waiting for his source of income.

We all need money to survive just as we need food. When you become a slave to money, you lose all sense of humanity and become desperate.

When you over eat, you become obese and develop related diseases.

Even though most people know these, they are blinded by poverty and hunger to accumulate for fear of going back.

Nigeria will not move forward unless deterrent and positive reinforcement are put in place starting from individual families.

What is infuriating is their boldness and superfluous argument to score points against those who know and practice the process daily.

Ignorant people know they are wrong. Admitting it is what hurt their ego. They do not want to know in case they are wrong.

There was this documentary I watched. I quit smoking immediately after. Dun Hill did not taste the same after that.

Can someone please answer. My paper is due very soon for my class project.

Why is it that most of the richest and most prominent Igbo cannot make their money at home?

But they are welcomed outside, accommodated and tolerated in the West more than anywhere else in the world.

Yoruba and Igbo must reconcile for prosperity.

If a poll is taken, most people around the world would want United States to remain the Super Power.

Unfortunately, Covid-19 has exposed a fatal flaw in that country that can incapacitate it and stifle the expansion of freedom and liberty to their Minorities.

Those who sympathize with dictatorship in that country are not the majority. But they can win enough votes by tactical means to remain in power.

Did the so called former Pastor of Obama, Rev. Wright put a curse on America that has come to pass?

Waiting for the loud mouths that claimed there is no evidence, any discrimination or rural areas where immigrants doctors were posted to?

As long as you are educated to know how to access "free healthcare". Death is better than free healthcare "luxury" I guess.

Better to ignore ignoramus and keep quiet sometimes.

Washington Post: Why is coronavirus hitting Britain’s minority doctors so hard?. “Nearly all the doctors who have died of covid-19 in the United Kingdom have been ethnic minorities, most born overseas, like el-Tayar, according to the British Medical Association.

I did not know that Wole Soyinka has power to retaliate on Gowon. Even if he has, he is too graceful.

He took too many risks. Especially standing up for Ojukwu. He has since been called a traitor.

His grandkids are calling on him to fight for them now while they are busy with their soother, iPhone.

Jude Chukwuka is a good example of those Igbo that get along in Yoruba land or anywhere. They say when you are in Rome behave like a Roman.

Respect the culture and be grateful for their accommodation.

Jude is a class by himself, he reminds me of the Igbo I grew up with. Why are they not speaking up?
