Na prayer dey generate electricity

Justin: National Grid just collapsed 😭

hustla:
May God epp us

God no fit help una. Na we go decide by una self.

With all the churches and mosque 🕌 we still can’t boast of 24/7 electricity.

MichaelUde:
On a deadly serious note, trust me, given the number of people I know of who are struggling to survive back home, and the amounts of money I have to send back home to try and give stipends to some of them, I know fully well what's going on back home.

But again, I repeat - there's nothing genetic or inevitable about it.

Then why is someone stealing million of £ when his brother and sisters wallow in penury?

hustla:
The thing dey pain and people will always argue with emotions and sentiments, ignoring the reality on ground

A set of people collectively no fit organize themselves for 60+ years, them still dey prove my point dey talk "i", "me" upandan

Plenty English, that's all Africans know how to speak. As a unit, we do well, as a whole, we are just as that LL guy described

The earlier we start telling ourselves the truth then we can start seeing changes. No be by big English. China wasn’t built with big English rather they looked inwards and decide on what they want. Today they are world super power.

MichaelUde:
hustla o. Come out, come out, wherever you are. Make we drag you small, its Easter and we need some entertainment.

On a serious note, how could you write wetin you write up yonder? Just a while ago, while dey were dragging Lexus upandan, your proudly announced you had passed your finals and obtained an M.Sc in Cybersecurity. We, on behalf of the Nigerian Migrants Pandemic Set of 20/21, were happy for you. Now you come dey quote one kolo man's rubbish talk for us. Are you now saying that you are exhibiting a "want of desire to rise beyond the state that Buhari left you in Naija?

Nigeria is what it is. It is badly governed, its leaders are lousy, corruption full everywhere. We know. We know what it is like. We all abandoned ship from there. Many African countries are in similar states. We sabi. The state of Nigeria in particular and Africa as a whole pains those of us who think about it.

But.

But there is nothing genetically wrong with Africans and people of African descent wey don make Nigeria and Africa dey where they are now. The people who govern are lousy but that's them. The people who they govern could do more about freeing themselves from the lousy misgovernment, but other peoples have been misgoverned too and they no talk, not just Africans. At the risk of exciting missjekyll, it is arguable that the UK itself is a place where the governed too keep quiet and continue to exist while their governing class does anyhow. Nothing genetically wrong with that - or with anyone.

Abeg, please go and pull yourself one cold pint on my tab and reconsider what you wrote. No come dey add fuel to the right-wingers' fire biko. You are just as good a cybersecurityman as anyone else (that is what you have been telling recruiters o), so don't come and talk different for here.

No evidence bro

hustla:
LOL, as usual.

It's either racism or neo-colonialism instead of looking into the mirror. It's the same thing when you ask the black man what he has contributed to the world, he is either mentioning the pyramids, Ethiopia or ancient Benin empires all with a serious face

They were pooing in the River Thames in 1914 but guess where they still wash and poo in rivers in 2024? Nigeria .

Speaking about barbaric practices. Guess where children are kidnapped en masse and sold to jihadi terrorists in 2024? Nigeria. Want to take a guess where children are exploited as house helps and killed for rituals in 2024? Nigeria
Want to also guess which country in 2024 has a church on every street and prefers to pray to God instead of fixing actual issues as described in that Lugard excerpt? Nigeria

Continue merry-go-rounding and speaking English when the irony is staring at you in the face

I think some people having been here for a while tend to lose sense of what’s going on at home. In a way 1914 British is even better than present Nigeria. Shey na Lagos wey dem dey throw refuse for middle of road we wan dey talk bi canals filled with plastics.

missjekyll:
May i exclude my past and future generations from this incredibly racist description. You may accept it for yourself, i have no problem with that.

As he was writing this s**t about us, his people were pooing in the Thames. Infact ,during summer,the thames smelled so
Much that parliament had to be suspended. Children as young as 3 years old were put to work among other barbaric practices.

Not planning for the future is a common failing in bad leaders of every race.
Infact, the current housing crisis in the UK can be linked directly to this .
I hope it wont be long before Kogi state renames its government house (currently its called Lugard house). This man should be confined to the soakaway of history.

Stop making excuse for Nigeria. The country is rotten to the core. Just say it nobody will beat you

Goodenoch:
This is pseudoscientific nonsense.

The state of mind described here would be the same for any group of people with the same lack of education/exposure, and whose horizons and ambitions were limited as a result. People like Lugard said the same about indigenous people everywhere else from America to Australia, etc. It’s part of the MO of conquerors to dehumanize those they conquer to justify their actions. Civilizations like the Mongols also likely held similar ideas about how much better they were than the other countries when they ruled half the world, but now they’re a tiny inconsequential country.

People from the former colonies are increasingly occupying high positions in politics, business, professional fields and everywhere else in the UK and elsewhere, including an outsized contingent from Nigeria, so it’s clearly not about anything in the brain and about the society and the education, rule of law and other factors that keep people in line.

Much as I hate to cite colonialism, fact is that the forced mashup of several groups in Nigeria is a major reason for the inability to have a cohesive national front to tackle issues. Britain with just 4 ethnic groups has had civil wars among them, with the most recent just a few decades ago although they cleverly call it ‘the Troubles’ and not a civil war. Till just last month governance was paused in Northern Ireland because of underlying ethno-religious disputes under the guise of parties not being able to agree (although if it was in Africa they’d say it was ‘tribal warring). So isn’t it logical that Nigeria is struggling more? I don’t think that excuses the people in power and us as Nigerians in general but it’s important to put issues in context and not take to simplistic assessments just because they sound witty.

To be clear I’m not disputing your right to believe you as an individual ‘African native’ are far nearer to the animal world and do not have ambition and all the rest o - feel free to internalize and work with that, I’m saying it’s not true for the generality of Africans.

If it’s not true then why is the entirety of Africa still having thesame dilemma after independence. Why can’t African make a decision for themselves?

hustla:
Naija, everyone is just looting, no one is sensible enough to care about the future or even plan for it

Lord Lugard's excerpt about Nigeria and Africans still holds true several years after

I have taken some parts loosely below -

His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.
Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future

The wayray no kuku lie

lastkingsman:
The problem with Nigeria is corruption with impunity. Every senior ranking public official knows you can steal billions and get away with it. Worst case scenario is you lose your job or you are told to return some percentage.

Accountant General diverted 109bn Naira and efcc later claimed they recovered 30bn Naira. So my guy is still in 79bn Naira profit and today he's a free man enjoying his loots quietly.

How about the recent REB director wey corner 12bn Naira and was later sacked? Nothing will happen to him I can assure you. Betta Edu and her predecessor Hajia and co.

The looting that have left that country since 1970 is estimated to be around 600bn USD, enough to fix our infrastructure deficit (power, refinery, road, ports, hospitals, schools, railway and so on) and make us productive

I wept for my country. Sometimes I think there is something in the African brain that just makes us greedy.

Corruption issue run across African countries from Ghana, Uganda just name it .

hustla:
... And Nigeria Air... Paid $600,000 for a logo... Something you can design with photoshop or Canva

Sometimes when people blame neo colonialism for Nigeria's woes, i just dey think to dash them slap

Neo colonialism is part of it. Where are all the looted funds going. Youkay, France, America. Some of our politicians are even big donors to uk universities.

hustla:
Nigeria sha

I wonder if it will ever work

It will never work with the vagabonds in power.

We need people like sowore. He can only get there with the movement of the people without that we will keep running in circle.

Peerielass:
Council don’t need more powers to provide affordable housing, they need more funding.

In Scotland, affordable housing budget was cut by almost £200million for 2024/25. Imagine how many houses the Councils could have built with that money across Scotland.

But where is the fund going to come from?

Could labour be any better than Tory’s ?

Lexusgs430:
Three things you need to do -:

- Write a letter and e-mail to the school, voicing your concerns + demanding an explanation.......

- Send a copy to the council......

&

Sit down and await their response (add your telephone number to the message).......

I pity Anybody wey go follow you drag case. You go come for them from all angles 😂

Guys why is graduate visa unavailable to tick on some jobs posted on Trac jobs. Abi which kind wahala be this again

ehizario2012:
In truth, do core racists see black Africans and say Chinese, Indians, Pakistani, North Africans etc as the same? Seems they have a special place in their dirty hearts for black Africans especially. Black Africans.

White and black won’t get along. We can always continue to tolerate each other. They mess with us always because our leaders work for them one way or another.

Chinese people can be use as case study: China is arguable the most advance country in recent times. Hence that level of achievement is what people see when you see a Chinese citizen.

We will continue to be looked down upon until when Africa starts developing its region.

The change begins with you and I.

Congratulations 🎊. Did Cybersecurity too unfortunately didn't get distinction. Just 1 mark made the difference. Fortunately got a role in NHS as a Technical Analyst with sponsorship after few months on post study. Spread your tentacles, don't limit yourself.

Microsoft's Applied skills for devops security looks like a good one to do for projects on CV.

Lots to do, while looking for £3K to pay Sunak.

We will get there someday

Dem never implement am na. Why you dey fear?

gmacnoms:
baba, you have said it. You showed the type of person you are when I created my thread and started commenting here.

I have on several occasions, responded to you without sugar coating anything. Something, many of your worshippers shy away from.

The internet is there for everyone to learn every single thing they need in this uk. Remember I told you “ I no fit bow down for cow because I wan chop suya”

Remember I told you “ you’d wait Taya to hear my any bad news and I sail differently and shine brightly?”

You no get single rating for my side.

E say na worshippers lol as if anybody papa dey pay my bills.

This is pure hatred man. You need comot that Nigerian mentality out your brain. You know like person no comot anything for his body.

Live and let live.

This is why Asians will continue to do better that blacks.

Just imagine the kind of contribution you made.
This was the same way he treated me here before I left Naija but I didn't give any room for that. He feels it's humour but doesn't know it comes off most times as being insensitiv£ and deme@ning.
Well you give me 1, I shower you 30.

Everybody with the one wey dey do them. You go dey alright fam

hustla:
Oya naw.

I want to go o

You wan go Rwanda ?

topellycategory:
It's high time you understand the fact that is an online forum doesn't give you the chance to over use it .

Your constant unnecessary mocking, laughing emojis make you look like a troll , you come across like someone desperately seeking attention online.

Do you have to rub it on people face every time that you're a British citizen and for the record iam a naturalised British citizen just like many other silent readers/members on Nairaland.

You don't know how your mockery comments sometimes can come off on some people online who are going through one thing or the other .
Iam aware you give out current useful informations kudos to you for that .

I know for sure a lot of people here knows your actions most times is totally off but they just don't want to tell you.

Fine you want to be acting funny online everytime because it's a Free world atleast be considerate of other people feelings as well !

Seeking attention my black ass.
He has freedom of to say his piece. Whoever can’t stand the heat should get out the kitchen. Person dey use emoji una say e dey mock people.

Our emotion runs hot for things that doesn’t matter that’s why we are backward as a country.

Do you think if Keir tells Benjamin Netanyahu to seize fire ...... It would end that war ...........😜😁

My own stance....... When hamas decided to paraglide and kill ......... What did hamas think would be the reaction........ If I have a big brother that is a bully, I would just let him be ........😁

Big brother or land grabber ?

hustla:
True

Sometimes I wonder how they let in people who are now asking for Sharia in their neighborhoods in while constantly insulting students who bring in money and pay taxes

Maybe lack of focus

They are planning on giving each Asylum seeker 3k and send them to Rwanda 😂

Lol that's a whole lot of people to shekpe for 😂

jedisco:
Alot of lazy folks have hidden under the bandwagon of immigration/Brexit to milk the system + hapless immigrants. Currently 2.8 million on longterm sick. Ultimately the most effective way to reduce that number is to make work pay. All the talk about NHS wait lists are additional.

Reason why I wanted the care visa to end so eye go clear everybody. One told me over the weekend that she'd rather flip burgers at Macdonalds than be paid minimum wage for a care role. (I have rephrased her words nicely).

Council recently sent me a letter informing me council tax is going up by 12%. i.e I'm now to pay 2.4k+ a year. Guess the main driver? Adult social care which is also the story for many other councils. Annoyingly, e go still increase next year as many folks and their nans want carers four times a day plus supported living not including thise seeking free council house e.t.c all paid for by others peoples taxes. These same folks would still say its tax paying immigrants looting the system.

I hope when time reaches for tax paying immigrants to benefit from same adult social care, there wouldn't be calls saying these new group of Brits were not born here.

Only if Nigeria could work. UK policy’s towards immigrants is a sinister one. That’s why I do always shekpe for anybody and their family involve in Nigeria being backwards.
