The original video on Instagram showed no deaths but maybe I'm mistaken. I didn't dwell on it. The vid seemed to show an emptyish road with someone roaring up it on motorbike. The motorbike guy lost control, crashed and a man on pavement raced towards him.

Very Dark Man Vs Very Light Man.

As always Nigeria's immoral opposition politics exploits the ignorance of Nigerians by superimposing deviant politicised reasons on thire everyday experiences, coopting, subverting and corrupting thire sense of themselves. And there is no length to which Nigeria opposition politics, of whatever colour, would not stoop to achieve control. Destroying the peoples dignity and the Nation itself, that they propose to care for, isn't beyond them but actually an aim.

This is a Chatgbt rewrite of my early submission:



The phenomenon known as "Japa Syndrome" reflects the lingering effects of Nigeria’s era of surplus oil wealth, which fostered a culture of over-pampering. The decision of some Nigerians to sell valuable homes, land, or businesses to work menial jobs abroad—such as cleaning or security—cannot be solely attributed to an economic downturn or a lack of prospects at home. Rather, this trend is deeply rooted in the social constructs established during the oil wealth era, which attached immense value and status to "going abroad." The pursuit of foreign education only reinforced this prestige.

In the works of Chinua Achebe, one can observe how attaining professional qualifications overseas was regarded as a significant achievement not only for the individual but for their entire community. It elevated not just the person, but their family and broader social circle.

For much of Nigeria's history, traveling "overseas" or being born abroad conferred a distinct, exalted status within local society. Initially, only Nigerians from relatively affluent backgrounds, and those who possessed the critical "know-how" to navigate the complexities of international travel, enjoyed these privileges. This exclusivity further enhanced the mystique and allure of "Obodo Oyibo"—the land of the whites—in the eyes of many Nigerians.

Today, the means and, more importantly, the knowledge of how to access these opportunities have democratized international travel. Now, the aspiration to go abroad is widespread, with nearly everyone in Nigeria eager to experience life "overseas." This is the underlying motivation, consciously or unconsciously.

Japa Syndrome Symbolises Loss Of Hope In Nigeria – Jega - Politics

Crap.


Nearer the truth.

Japa Syndrome Symbolises the Over pamperedness of Nigerians due to the days of Surplus oil wealth. A Nigerian selling good homes, land and business to go clean toilet or work as security guards abroad has nothing to do with not seeing a future in Nigeria due to economic downturn. It has more to do with wanting to go abroad due to social constructs in Nigeria (during the oil wealth era) that placed great Value Status in "Travelling Overseas". Traveling Abroad for Education reinforced this.

If you look at some of Chinua Achebe's works, you'll see how it was great feat if ones siblings or individual in the wider local community managed to attain professional qualifications " Oversees".


For long periods in Nigeria's history, traveling "Overseas" or having been born "Overseas" bestowed the individual a special, exalted position in local Nigeria society. Earlier, it was mostly those Nigerians from relatively more affluent background and that had access to the Know How - not even wealth - to travel Overseas who enjoyed all that this meant. These Nigerians exclusive access to Overseas reinforced the existing aura of magic and unattainable splendour Obodo Oyigbo (the land of the whites) represented to the Nigeria masses.

Today the means and, more crucially ,the knowledge of How-To has made Obodo-Oyibo accessible to anyone in Nigeria. And everybody in Nigeria would like to travel Overseas.

COMRADES are speechless at this sad story
Do you think Nigerian police will ever learn?

Yes, if they study US police method and doctrine.


Condolences to the family. Incidentally my great, great maternal grandfather was an Ogene man. He reputedly often left his audiences in tears. Actually, he played that flutey one, not sure if Ogene is the same thing.

Nope, just checked Google images.

Be deceiving yourself,

I don't deal in self-deception or lies. There's no point.

Politics deliberately blinds Nigerians. Truth is, you're liable to find more serene places in Nigeria than Uganda and you're likelier to be left alone in Nigeria than anywhere save Nort Pole or Sahara Desert. Actually, scratch North Pole. That place is very monitored by the super powers.

Nigeria is a country where entire tribes of people from the Sahel can can enter, find a place and settle down without fear of government or people. No one would know or care. I've seen videos of places in Nigeria effectively under occupation by people from Ivory Coast and Ghana. One island near Lagos has people flying Ghana Flag . Another trade in Ivory Coast currency. Can any of this happen in Uganda?


Places to settle for picnic in Nigeria is everywhere in Nigeria. And, actually, you're not as safe as you might think, picnicing in Uganda. Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania team with wildlife. You have to know what you're doing or you may be eaten by lions, trampled by elephants, gored by Buffalo, hunted down by Hunting Dogs, dragged off by Hyaenas and still face dangers by terrorists.

Why don't you make your business to favour the poor?

Go and farm yam, after harvesting, go sell them for 500naira so the poor can be happy and be able to afford it

If the poor didn't exist, professional opposition in every form, including politics and religion would have invented them. These two are the real enemies of the poor.

Nothing wants and needs poor people more than political and theological Doctrine.

When I keep repeating that Nigerians are very kind hearted people, some keep trying to label Nigerians wicked and evil. Some were even trying to brainwash Nigerians into attacking wealthy Nigerians. I hope now those people will no longer be able to convincingly lie that Nigerians are wicked. Nigerians don't seem generally self-regarding. It can be easy to brainwash such people. Point out, for instance, the wicked act of one person towards them, they will concentrate on this one thing without weighing it against the hundred other little acts of kindness and considerations bestowed them by others daily that was not pointed out to them to concentrate on.

You Nigerians are wonderful people, help each other and respect each other. Don't let unknown people and forces online divide you along ethnic lines. Thire aim is to destroy what they know and fear as your great potential as a United nation, dominating Africa and one day the world.

If the Nigerian government fails to be effective in bringing these corrupt law enforcers to book adequately, society will invent a means.

I'm not sure this is government's responsibility.

So what is the share of Nigerian Customs and Police

If we cannot close our borders to enjoy subsidy, we cannot close it to enjoy our infrastructures

Indeed.

motionarena:
In my country they are still sharing rice

But it's ordinary "Nigerians" that want to share rice not the government. Government wants to build coastal roads; invest in Nigeria's Space program; work in partnership with China to build Nuclear Power Stations; link all Nigeria cities by trains; transition Nigerians from petrol cars to Electric and CNG etc. But the Nigeria people led by the Opposition Political parties are the ones saying that Nigerians do not need these developmental goals, that instead Tinubu's government should concentrate on fixing old roads and giving the people rice handout.

Because, after all, the people are hungweeeee,! A Hungweeee man is a angweeee man!


Abi na lie ?

Surprisingly low number of deaths due to train in Nigeria. In the UK, statistics state that an average of 5.3 deaths per week occurs on the overground rail network alone. Obviously this reflects railway network tonnage, UK Vs Nigeria. Given the fact that Nigeria is skimping on investing fully in railway infrastructure, including concerted investment on creating barriers between people and railway track and freight, Nigeria would record way higher number of deaths than UK if our rail network were equal by ratio.


Below is a Chatgbt clearer rewrite of the above.



The number of deaths caused by trains in Nigeria is surprisingly low. In comparison, the UK’s overground rail network sees an average of 5.3 deaths per week. This difference reflects the greater size and usage of the UK’s rail network compared to Nigeria’s. However, if Nigeria's rail system were scaled to match the UK’s in terms of size and usage, the number of deaths in Nigeria would likely be much higher. This is because Nigeria has not made significant investments in railway infrastructure, including installing barriers to keep people and freight separate from the tracks.

FG to replace foreign cartoons with Nigerian content that promotes values

Good, but some foreign content is necessary in order that Nigeria children are roundedly informed, although social media does or may fulfill some of this role. What may be more useful, in addition to authorities actively helping to increase local content for local viewing on television, would be increased documentaries and news items on negative international events and circumstances. This is because, if opinions on Niraland is a fare reflective barometer on the state of the Nigeria people's consciousness, then Nigerians are greatly misinformed. Nigerians would seem to believe that Abroad is perfect and that Nigeria is bad. In addition, that Nigeria is always in the wrong or and Nigeria is always at fault in every conflicting situations against other Nations. While the capacity to acknowledge ones responsibilities and fault is admirable, believing that others are always right while you're always wrong is unhealthy.

ChristCee:
I told you guys there is nothing like one Africa.
It's a very stupid idea that shows weakness. If Nigeria alone has great leaders we should be competing with China, Russia, Japan, USA, Israel.

One Africa is a stupid fallacy

Na Nigeria carry One Africa for head pass. Other major Africa nations give it lip service. The smaller ones and impoverished ones without current or future capacity know they have no real long-term future and so would like there to be uprisings all over Africa which in time may lead to a more favourable redrawing of the Africa map. Then there are other Africa Nations that hope to survive, long term, by partaking in Reverse Trans Atlantic slavery: this is when they buy Blacks of the diaspora with "Pan Africa" currency, hoping to gain from the exploitation of the labour and investment of these people.

Nigeria has everything she needs like you say. We however seem to lack true Nigerians in heart and soul.

They were said to have been ambushed along Ihiala-Orlu Road on Tuesday while traveling from Lagos to Uyo.

Is that the same Orlu where three innocent Adjebutter undergraduates were accused of theft and lynched with car tires thrown around thire necks?

I ain't a superstitious type, being a progressive and fan of science and tech. I can however imagine the guy who was ranting on YouTube after that event nodding his head. He had wrapped his knuckles hard on his desk, as he proclaimed that everyone should mark his words, that the blood of those dudes will hunt the area and that the people there will not know peace for decades to come.

A modest place (at first) a structure as simple as a semi open, elongated building, that serves free, nutritional food, once a day (opens for one hour daily ) to people under 15 would be a better way to spend money on helping society. To mitigate dependency culture, instead of free food, the place could charge the young people a symbolic 5 Niara or thire services in washing up and keeping the place tidy and running efficiently. In this way, the youngsters moral teachings on working for something and helping others would be reinforced.
