what economy? You call this jungle an economy. If you are a foreign investor , would you invest in Nigeria? Be honest to yourself

So you're indirectly saying that the binace guy, in his capacity as a foreigner, didn't come to invest in Nigeria ,with her jungle economy. What did he come to do then, fraud?

For some people it isn't always about money. I recall in the early days engaging a number of Somalis on thire website over a disparaging comment one made about preferring death than to do cleaning jobs in the UK as "Nigerians did" according to them.

I recall arguing that at least Nigerians would rather work menial jobs than rely on state welfare or refugee handouts as they did. I was banned.

There is nothing impressive here. Why do nigerians especially those that never even comot for naija before dey always blow trumpet for something wey no even dey good.? Na wa

Perhaps he feels it is stupid to boast and swell chest over another man's country. He is Nigerian and is making do with what he has probably. He expects where he is from in Nigeria will grow and improve over time, as things do. And I expect that his vision of the best his city in Nigeria can be will not be modelled on some foreign countries but on what his people think up for themselves in terms of what a future city may be and can become.

Is it against the law of magic to first test the effectiveness of a charm on something inanimate ?

I ask since no one ever says why these medicine people and clients never test thire bullet proof charms on something inanimate before customer.

Reasons may ultimately be that too many Nigerians don't believe in Nigeria they believe in politics. But in the interim our major problem is lack of organisational ability. It is the repercussion of having no record keeping culture.

MarketDispatch:
Was this to spite South Africa?

Nope. More like the story. The world loves fairytales. There are no people in the world that love stories like Nigerians.

And another thing this shows is the beauty and kindness of Nigerians evident in the other contestants likely standing down graciously. No belly aching, no bitterness. Although I dare say, someone will probably sponsor one of the contestants to complain for the sake of drama, clout and so on....

The report also blamed the rising kidnapping for ransom on economic stagnation

This right there, the highlighted Excuse, is in my opinion more responsible for the kidnapping, killing and associated Banditry than economic stagnation.

Poverty, stagnation, unemployment, starvation and raggety clothes is not responsible for kidnapping, killings, Banditry and so on. A deviant mindset; laziness; hailing from a foreign country and having no regard for indigens;being brought up without parental or community guidance; feral living caused by having been brought up in a war ravaged country; psychopathy are better causes for these types of behaviour.

Stop handing deviants convenient excuses. You're indirectly encouraging and emboldening them and grooming more!

The following is for those that keep responding to advice from Nigerians abroad with, 'why don't you return to Nigeria yourself?'

Well, many soon will return to Nigeria, because a wave of racism and Nationalism is sweeping through Europe that may lead to attacks on all dark skinned foreigners or just as bad, slow drawn, increases in casual and seemingly unrelated killings. You people arrogantly telling Nigerians to "come home now" will not be able to cope abroad or navigate as well as those Nigerians that have been abroad for a long time and, in some cases, belonged to the generation of blacks that fought against terrific racism and made Abroad the safer place you Jappanese are dying to travel to and for which you rain insult when advised by those same Nigerians that perhaps you're better off staying in Nigeria.

After acquiring the best education and a first world passport that will land you an expatriate job in Nigeria...

Deceive the gullible no be me...


My bags are packed and I'm jetting out...

Why so angry? I'm sure most people congratulate and support your personal choice and plans to leave Nigeria for foreign lands, is it fare that you and so many others respond angrily to news of those that have made personal plans and choice to return to their nation of origin Nigeria?

I've just seen on Instagram an article and video from linda Ikeja of a community in Sokoto rising up in mass and invading the forest to go tackle terrorists and bandits plagueing thire community.

Such an awesome sight, it makes you as a Nigerian so proud although same time disappointed that the authorities are so bereft people had to rise up and deal with the situation themselves. All of us need to prey for those people in hope that even one hair on their head is not harmed and that the bandits, kidnappers flee from the area and never return!

My heart is cutting though .

CJStarz:
Hahahaha......we don use Zimbabwe shine😄

Just the beginning; Nigerians rarely start these things but when Nigerians get into it, we do it at an industrial scale.

Gerrard59:
That is not true judging by your post's history. You have always supported criminality and found ways to absolve Nigerians when found wanting even when hard evidence is present. So, tell the house, are cult wars the best exports Nigerians, largely very poor compared to Italians, can offer to the world? Or are you going to blame imaginary Togolese and Nigeriens as you always do for impersonating Nigerians?

Read my signature. You and I essentially know nothing. I will always give governments of Nigeria the benefits of the doubt. When they leave office that's another matter. I will always defend Nigerians if the assumption is that Nigerians are automatically criminals. I've fought racism all my life, none of those subtle ideas derived from fascist and racist views will ever deceive me. I need hard evidence always. Thank you.

I'm not supporting criminality; the following thought is merely my writers objective academic mind: was thinking that they will go far and be more successful if they kept membership of thire fraternity-gang to only Nigerians, just as the Italian mafia was at core prejudicially Italians only. Africans from other nations can be very, very treacherous and back stabbing.

But of course I condemn criminality of this type and any type and view them reprehensible. My thoughts are in terms of Novel ideas and plots only.

TUTU147:
How can such crime take place in a busy city like lagos without any hindrances.No CCTV to capture what happened.We are not taken security very seriously in this country.Is time we bring back opc, bakassi boys and other traditional security outfits.

Thanks to CCTV and Indian man who carted off a five year old girl and raped her was tracked down and arrested in India.

Like Nigerian certificates are any better 😒

They are way better and they're a known quantity.

Nigeria is fantastically corrupt and Nigeria youth are lazy

The above are all subset of that weird "Punish Nigeria" mindset that many have adopted towards Nigeria. As if Nigeria is one thing but they are another. Everyone is a critic of all things Nigeria and Nigerians for dubious kudos and smack on the back from foreigners or to fool yourself that you are politically attitude and a champion of wanting better!

It is all excruciatingly pathetic and needy to stop. Nigerians need to grow some balls and some sense.

Stop putting yourselves down for likes and pretence you are the fantastic one, the know it all, the honest ones but Nigerians over there are the deviant ones not you.

"The leaders of these bandits terrorising the Northwest region are well known, their places of origin are known, their parents and these who supply them with means of logistic are all known.”

Where are the masses of brave Northern defiant youths that were waving Russian flags, during the protest, burning politicians home, marching on Abuja, frightening the entire Nigeria state to the hailing and cheering of the international social media spectatorship ?

The lighter complexioned dead officer has a clinched fist. Looks like he didn't die as quickly as the darker officer. Didn't resign to this final of fates, couldn't. Dying may have been very difficult and very frightening for him. He was probably astonished as he lay dying, not believing not wanting to leave his entire life ecosystem behind. That moment was where his entire journey of struggle in this life for belonging to society as a self respecting wage earner ended.

Fundamentally sad.

RIP.

sms4sure:
Seriously, Nigeria Cable is the best.

Hope it is thoroughly indigenous.

The sooner the average Nigerian rids him or herself this bizarre attitude of wanting to " Punish the country" the better the lives of the masses will be. Examples of this attitude can be found in the incredibly stupid and openly embarrassing burning of Nigeria passport and abusing Nigeria while standing on another man's land abroad. South Africans poking finger in you Nigerians eyes is an example of a repercussion.

Stop boasting of Jappa; stop feeling vindicated and boasting proudly that Nigeria companies are now relocating to other African nations; don't hail people like Burna boy calling Nigeria collateral Damage. He is insulting you Nigeria masses. All these foolish notion of Punishing Nigeria injures you the people. Nigeria is not the government but you the people: husbands, wives, children, friends, local shops, streets, markets, uncles and aunties.

The attitude also leads to incoherent thinking and sentiments (well, as far as sentimental thinking can be coherent) such as seeing only the best in others while seeing only the worst of yourself. This is why a Nigerian would hail Paule Kagame of Rwanda for shutting down thousands of churches, for however laudable a reason, but would rail against similar in Nigeria and ascribe all sorts negative connotations to it.

Bmaster:
Nigeria is like agba ekpere chi now.

Igbos in the house knows what that means,..


It's like buying a car used by a fellow Nigerian,and it happens that at every given time the car develops a fault.

So assuming you are on a long journey with that car,all your prayers will be God Abeg oo,Abeg oo.
Because you know that the car you are using for that your long journey is not trustworthy again,
So is the condition we are in now as Nigerians.

I don't have experience of this supposed Nigerians as an incapable people. And to use and reverse your analogy , I once had a made in Nigeria shoe. I hated those shoes because the refused to spoil. They lasted forever.

techbro1:
Make e no escalate o.

Btw I don’t feel bad when a Nigerian policeman is killed. They deserve the worst things in life.

I guess it will never end; for example, even I who is not a police officer, when I read something like you've just written, when I watch video of Nigeria police greeting civilians, and I've seen some online, I get annoyed and think, why is that police officer fawning, and trying hard to be nice, he should bring the butt of his rifle down on that man's tough head.


I guess I'm saying that comments like yours will only lead to ever spiraling downward mutual hatred. And some day, Nigerians will wake up and find that Nigeria police have become as brutal and contemptuous of civilians as America police.

Simplify the process by no longer recognising university degrees unless they are from Nigeria or Europe, America, Canada, China and Japan.

Let the excluded Nations retaliate if they wish, it will even help Nigeria limit the damage Nigerians cause to themselves by Japparing up and down.

Let's put Nigeria first without sentiment. Nations out there don't care for our feelings and in fact they even seem to take delight if they can humiliate us. See China ceasing Nigeria aircraft Abroad; see India endlessly parading Nigerians as drug pushers; see South Africa actively and purposefully singling Nigeria for humiliation; see small nations like Benin Republic posturing in the international space about how they deport Nigerians; Ghana tying Nigeria citizens to treed and showing the video on YouTube; see Haiti announcing for the world to see how Nigerians want to adopt thire identity. Let's begin to put Nigeria first regardless of whose feelings we may hurt.

Who is waging war on Nigeria's food ecosystem? Who is trying to keep certain West Africa nations economy afloat by obliging Nigeria to import thire agricultural products?

Who is sponsoring war on Nigeria's ability to feed itself: slaughtering Nigeria farmers and mass killing Nigeria cattles in other to make Nigerians consumers of foreign agricultural products of West Africa and Europe ?

Stephench:
Said top 10 worst, went ahead to list top 10 best. Something is wrong somewhere

Op must have schooled in Ghana, majoring in Anansi fables.

Op mistakenly got Delta State right. Although, it is the way of tricksters to use one true something in order to disguise the falseness of the other things.


Delta State leaders deserve executing. You couldn't do worst if you hated Deltans and aimed to punish them.
