Bebigiby1:
I’ve read several posts made by many defeatists advising Nigerians especially the youths to run away (Japa) from Nigeria, telling them that the only way they can live a decent life is to migrate to other countries, I wonder how a great nation and people like Nigerians have allowed themselves to be defeated, so docile and cowardly to the point that their children are now only thought to hate their father’s land and prepped to leave the country at early stages of their lives to become “slaves” in other countries in the name of japa syndrome?

Nigeria remains the best West African country with so much potential…. It is unfortunate that the japa syndrome has become a culture in many parts of country to a point that it is on the verge of destroying what is left of the future of this country as many of our best brains continue to leave in mass…. This country was founded on the basis of mutual respect and ethnic synergy, our founding fathers believed in the power of our diversity this unfortunately became the bane of our development as overtime Nigerians allowed tribalism, corruption to reign supreme ushering in the worst set of people among them to rule, loot and destroy the country. Instead of uniting to take back the country, many Nigerians today prefer to runaway and live as third class citizens in foreign lands with the hope that Nigeria will magically fix itself before they can return…. If the citizens of the foreign countries that Nigerians are running to and currently living in did the same thing by “japaing” when their country’s situation was bad, would any of us “japa” to their country today? The answer is “NO”…. It is a fact the no one can fix Nigeria except Nigerians and what is happening today, especially the new culture of japa among our youths is a betrayal to our heritage, our founding fathers, those who fought and died for the course of this nation and our forefathers who fought the colonialists to ensure that future generations of this country can live free and be prosperous…. We may run to UK, USA or France over the economic crisis in Nigeria, change our native names but we can not change our Nigerian DNA or the blood of our ancestors that is within us. Many people are saying that Nigeria is dead and there is no hope for our youths, this is not true as the major reason why it seem to be hopeless is because of the lack of unity among Nigerians, many of us choose to foster deep tribal hatred and religious extremism towards other Nigerians, for some, it is a politically motivated choice while for others it is a sentimental choice… this dangerous way of thinking have brought this country to it’s knees as corruption and bad governance continues to thrive…. The truth is that Nigerians have a choice to fix their country if they choose to let go of these vices that divide them, making this country work for all Nigerians is achievable when the majority of us are willing to love our country and fight for the best for her…. What it takes is genuine patriotism which is lacking and this is why our people continue to suffer…. Just like the great patriots who fought to make America, UK and other countries we love to run to what it is today…. We have a nation blessed with abundant resources if harnessed and managed properly none of us will find these foreign countries attractive as life will be good in Nigeria…. Already, you can see many foreigners like the Chinese milking some of our resources illegally are living large in Nigeria while our people cry of hunger. There is no other way we can guarantee wealth and prosperity for ourselves without fixing our country, Nigerian youths should understand that the fate of this country is in their hands and what they choose to do will shape the fate of future generations…. These bad leaders we have today are in power because Nigerians especially our youths failed to hold them accountable, instead of fighting for a better future, our people have been robbed of their identities, defeated and brainwashed to accept “japa” as an achievement, a salvation to their failures…. Why live as slaves in foreign lands doing menial jobs when you can live as kings in your father’s land if we unite to fix our country by chasing away these evil politicians destroying it…. Nigerians are better off living in a prosperous Nigeria then living as slaves in another man’s country…. All that is required is for us to stand together, take our country back and fight for a better future that will benefit everyone…. If the people of USA, UK, Canada and other advanced countries did it, we can do it…. The Nigeria of today and tomorrow is in our hands to shape….

Namaster:
This post makes me YEARN to smack you silly.

First for the ABSOLUTELY stupid nature of its contents. Then for your FAILURE to employ something as important as a PARAGRAPH.

Back to the post:

You keep yapping and yapping about being "slaves and third class citizens" in a foreign country. EVERYBODY knows this is an 80s argument.

Getting VISAs is not as simple as it once was. Current immigration policies DEMAND that you have a clear and definite purpose before you are granted a Visa.

For MOST people, that either takes the form of STUDY or WORK. Both of these require sponsorships from institutions or employers who believe in you.

Nigerians abroad WORK to improve themselves either through local certifications or educations. But while working towards their education or certification, they make take some "menial jobs" like driving for UberEats or waiting tables.

Which brings me to your point about shitting on menial jobs. That is CLASSISM. Your post shows that you DISREGARD and look down on people who do jobs you consider "menial".

Meanwhile, they are considered an integral part of the country they reside in. For context, the average income of a waiter in the US Is about $31K and that's not including the tips they get.

The point is most "menial jobs" abroad is SUFFICIENT to live a decent life, unlike in Nigeria. That is why ONLY about 35% of Americans have a Bachelor's Degree.

I suppose your "third-class citizen" also alludes to the RACISM that Nigerians face abroad. That is LAUGHABLE.

Nigerians at home have to deal with TRIBALISM which is even dumber than racism. As a Nigerian abroad, you may need to cross the racism hurdle to get a good job.

But Nigerians in Nigeria have to deal with TRIBALISM, NEPOTISM, FAVOURITISM, CORRUPTION and FAKE job postings by RITUALISTS and RAPISTS to get a good job.

We have seen reports of Nigerian-born black people in position of political authority in foreign countries. Let someone from a different TRIBE try to become the VC of a common state-owned University in Nigeria and all hell would break loose.

Another aspect of your "third-class citizen" probably relates to Police treatment of black people. But it's NO different from the way Nigerian Police and other security agencies treat Nigerians.

Police could GUN you down because of #200 in Nigeria. Nothing will happen. Your family can't sue anyone for SETTLEMENT which is something that can be done abroad apart from the personal consequences the offending officer would have to face.

By the way, I like the fact that you mentioned that Nigeria is the best country in WEST Africa. You knew better than to say Africa.

But even that is PUSHING it. We all saw how Nigerian citizens in Ogun State had to cross over to Benin Republic to get access to POTABLE water.

In ONE day, we've read news of a KIDNAPPED commissioner and TWENTY kidnapped medical/dental students.

But that's not even the worst part. You want to know what the worst part is?

The worst part is that people DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO TO CALL! People are helpless in the face of a BRUTAL security threat because there is no DESIGNATED and RELIABLE number to call in case of an emergency.

Emergency call in Nigeria does NOT exceed screams of "egbaami ooo" and "ewoooo ooo". That's it.

The summary is this:

It is EASIER to be patriotic when you don't feel like there is a LOADED gun to your head.

It is EASIER to be patriotic when you don't feel like something is CONSTANTLY choking you.

It is EASIER to be patriotic when you don't feel like the system is actively working AGAINST you.

That is why people JAPA!

Life is too SHORT to be blindly loyal to a society that SUFFOCATES you.

Flight attendants tell people to put on their own oxygen mask FIRST before trying to assist ANYONE else in an emergency. Even your own CHILDREN!

That is because you don't run to put out a fire in your neighbour's house when your OWN leg is still ROASTING like suya.

Advice to anyone reading this:

If you can AFFORD it, JAPA! Bleep patriotism and JAPA!

Gajagojo:

Is Ajaero above the law?
What is the meaning of this nonsense?

The police invited him and he should go


If the police have any thing on him they can take him to court
Ajaero is not NLC.
NLC is not Ajaero

If allegations are made against him he does not have immunity .
We are tired of his crap

The other time he went to cause trouble in his state got beaten up and was threatening the whole country with strike

That strike threat has expired
In one year he has made more strike threats than we heard in the previous 10 years
Now he must face his responsibilities personally

Nigerians will not accept any strike threats

He should get a good lawyer and honour the invitation

moh1:
this is not our problem. labour are fighting for it pocket and not for Nigerians interest. so let NLC get lose.

seunjungle1:
Let's be realistic to some extent. If the man truly found guilty of the offence he was invited for, let him face the result.
I don't see any rift between Ajaero and federal govt for now that can make the govt to label or tag him as a sponsor for terrorism.
And another I thing I know is that if the allegation is not 100% real, there might be some iota of truth in it that make police to go for him. It won't be easy for govt to frame such a person in that kind of huge allegation(NLC Chairman).
We are waiting to see what will eventually unfold as the case go on

No wonder others claim they are politically motivated.

No conflict-resolution skill, no diplomacy in action, Just Nzogbu-Nzogbu reactions

Obi likes wearing black. I’m sure its because it’s stated that intelligent people are attracted to black, And it evokes mysteries! But the funny thing is,” obi himself is not a smart person.he just want people to see him as one.If you are averagely smart and you listen to him,you will realise that he’s not a smart person! The day one woman was asking him question on green energy,baba embarrassly blanked out! When current governor soludo fact checked him on his performances when he was governor,I knew he will never rebuffed him! It’s not that he does not know how to respond to him but he got intimidated by the prof,due to his poor not smart foundation,I knew he will avoid coming at the professor cos he knew that one would expose his ignorance! Anyway na still package fraud!

Tinubu is on the right track! Focusing on economic reform first is a strategic move. A strong economy lays the foundation for any constitutional review. Let's give him time to implement these changes; prosperity will follow. Unity and stability are key, and it seems he's committed to that vision for Nigeria!

AmazingGenius:
Several unregistered loan apps have continued operating in the country through Android Package Kit (APK) amid the ongoing clampdown by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).

As of May 2024, a total of 47 unregistered loan apps operating in the country have been delisted from the Google Play Store according to data from the FCCPC.

However, checks by Nairametrics show that many of the apps continue to operate in the country using APK to reach their target customers.

The APKs are shared in the form of a link which once clicked takes the user to a file to download an app not listed on any app store.

Harassment and defamation continue

Despite the FCCPC’s moves to sanitize the digital lending space through registration and identification of players, the practice of harassing and threatening borrowers remains unabated in the market.

However, the Chairman of the Money Lenders Association, the umbrella body of the registered loan app companies in Nigeria, Mr. Gbemi Adelekan, blames it on the unregistered apps.

According to him, many unregistered loan apps delisted from the app store are using APK to avoid regulatory compliance.

He said people taking loans from them are exposed to harassment and defamation as they are not under any control.

He added that the unregistered apps push loans to people without applying and then resort to unethical means to recover the debt.

“While most licensed Digital Money Lenders (DML) are operating their loan app business ethically, in compliance with the prevailing laws of the land and lending principles, we also have a few bad eggs in the industry with illegal lending practices and unethical recovery processes.

“Most of these unscrupulous lenders are unregistered and without the required licenses, thereby contravening various regulations and guidelines introduced by FCCPC and the various regulatory bodies of the Government. These illegal operators use threatening and arm-twisting tactics as part of their collection strategy,” he said.

FCCPC worried

The consumer protection agency recently expressed worry over the increase in unethical practices by lending apps in the country.

In response to that, the Commission said it has placed 88 apps on its watchlist in addition to the 47 that have been delisted in collaboration with Google.

Acting Executive Vice Chairman/ Chief Executive Officer, of the FCCPC, Dr. Adamu Abdullahi, said infractions have been on the rise as more Nigerians are now taking loans from the various loan apps.

He said the Commission would now involve law enforcement agents in tackling the menace in addition to regulatory prohibition and consequences.

What you should know

The FCCPC under the leadership of Babatunde Irukera had come up with the Limited Interim Regulatory/Registration Framework and Guidelines for Digital Lending, 2022, in collaboration with the Joint Task Force (JTF) to promote fair, transparent, and beneficial alternative lending opportunities for Nigerians.

The registration was also necessitated by the disturbing activities of loan apps in the country, especially the illegal ones, over allegations of rights violations, and unfair practices, among others.

As of May this year, the number of registered loan apps in the country had increased to 284.

These include 232 companies that have been granted full approval, 41 with full approval and 11 others licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
