The medical tourism never stopped. It remained open for the elites. When Buhari right hand man was sick from Covid, he was flown out of the country for treatment!

When did the governors personal assistant become judge, jury and executioner? A nobody save for the fact he’s an assistant to an incumbent governor.

We condem the woman but fail to see the gross abuse of his office.... assuming it’s an office I mean.

I truly doubt the issue is with purchasing power. If not mistaken, this is the first year since operation they are posting loss. Moreover notice how crowded almost all thier branches are.
Nigeria is not a middle class friendly economy.
There are more poor people than middle class and very few ultra rich!
Such a setup is not enough to sustain any major large scale corporation unless that company is providing the very necessities we can't avoid. e.g. telephone.

The middle class are the drivers of most economy and currently, they barely exist in Nigeria.
Our middle class are considered "rich"

Whatever goes up, doesn't comes done. That's price control. Allowing these markets to do what they wanted is dangerous.
No it’s not! Please let me explain!

Deregulating the oil and gas industry will lead to a price increase for sure but it will also make it profitable for new players that can operate more efficiently to enter the game.
That way, it becomes “may the best man win” situation.
Look at us!! We produce oil, export it and then import it at the partial expense of the government.

Subsidizing the industry will never allow growth because it’s easy money. Companies don’t have to invest in refinery because regardless of the cost, FG will pay.

Imagine if the industry was deregulated and those old timers hiked the price to say 350N/liter on the excuse that the importation cost is high... then 4 years down the line, a new player builds a mega refinery and able to sell at 80N per liter cos they produce at a cheaper cost, who do you think will win?

Same thing has to be done in the electricity industry... open up distribution and generation!! Let’s unburden the government and kill these corrupt institutions!

The South African community in Nigeria has been a close kitted one, even before COVID 19 gave everyone a good punch most South African companies were already planning exist strategies.My worries is what they see in our economic that we are not seeing or taking note of that might smell doomsday for us. I just hope MTN and Multichoice are not planning same that would be a final nail on the coffin.All I know we need to start taking proactive steps,reduce our external debts and exposure to China Trojan loans.
Nigeria has a population of almost 200 million people.
A lot of companies will see a large potential market but the reality is that most Nigerians simply do not have the purchasing power to make any major foreign direct investment profitable. Also, doing business ethically in Nigeria can be a challenge!

ShopRite shouldn't go anywhere. If you give Nigerians this business opportunity, they would wanna become billionaires overnight. Truth be told, ShopRite is cheaper than our so-called market where you have to bargain for hours to buy commodities at inflated prices.

Let's use the present Rice scenario in Nigeria, when we were importing high quality stone free rice, we bought mudu at 600 despite being imported and of high quality. Fast forward today, mudu is 800 with all the stones minus the importation and custom duty. My question is, how can one produce something and it's more expensive than when you were importing?

Why this long epistle? Nigerians are opportunists that love taking advantage of situations at the detriment of their countryman. We see wickedness as being smart, fuel adds a naira and transportation price is hiked. ShopRite, kindly stay, same with DStv.
In Economics, it’s called “dumping”.
This is when a supplier sells their product at a cost lower than what it will take for the buyer to produce it themselves even though they have the means and the resources.


You have to understand that these foreign suppliers have had decades of efficiency in the rice production business and selling at a ridiculously cheap rate because they over produce and over supply. They can because it’s efficient for them to flood countries like Nigeria.

Our nascent manufacturers cannot profitably compete even if they produce it 100% locally. With time, they’ll attain that level of efficiency but they need an even playing field. That is why we need to stop those foreign products. In this specific case; rice!

All the fraud committed since the beginning of Nigeria by Nigerians is not up to 1/3 or what white people in Britain alone have committed.

We have to learn to love and appreciate us as blacks.
No race is perfect and you’ll find the good, bad and ugly in every race. The only difference is that whites are recognized for their good while their ugly side is ignored while blacks are recognized for their ugly side while the superseding good from the black race is largely ignored!!

Outside of religion and divide of conquer, I think poverty is also a very potent Tool in the hands of the political elite!
Those praising him, do you think they would be there is they were gainfully employed?
Do you think they would be there if they were properly educated to know that the government belongs to everyone?

When he brought out the 1,000 naira, look at how it was snatched from him.
Chai, the political class have broken the spirit of the average Nigerian. They have broken the will to fight and the will to create a functional society and they achieved this through poverty, illiteracy, preaching hate and tribalism!

They feel because they have known you forever, that they deserve anything they ask from you... It hurts to cut them off but from experience, that is what you must do!!

For me i don't see the reason for govt to cancel the show because it has already started and some people and some company's has invested money on it. I'm not a fan of BBnaija but some people are and is not by force to watch it there are other channels and program to watch on dstv.my concern is that govt should tax them and make something from the show and invest it bck to the society.
Great!!

I love your logic here. I’ve never watched any series of Big brother except for the very first one that had the likes of Bayo and Gaitano.

It’s not my cup of tea but I have absolutely nothing against the show or those that enjoy the show.

As for those complaining about kids potentially viewing it..... it is not the responsibility of corporations to raise your child!!



To my fellow Nigerians, we need to learn how to live and let live. By default, a vast majority of Nigerians are intolerant towards any view, believe and behaviors they do not agree with!! That is why we all hate ourselves and even within a homogenous tribe, we still find a way to hate ourselves!!

He’s Christian, she’s Muslim, he’s Yoruba, she’s Igbo, he’s Hausa, she’s Fulani.... we just find so many reasons to divide and hate ourselves even though we are all black!

FuckDaMods:
Pure rubbish... Since she has advanced herself and now financially stable, why does she still desire to take the man house, half his property & collect child support?
Okay, let me school you!!
In US, if you owned the property before you guys got married, that property is yours. During divorce, it is not part of the settlement.
Only thing that is split are things that were gotten within the marriage.
The few exception are in states like Cali where there is a common law that means that half your shittt goes to her regardless of if it was gotten before or after marriage!

What i am trying to say is that if the court grants her ownership of the house and custody of the kids, that is because the house was gotten within marriage by either both of them or one of them!!

I am not supporting laziness of the men, but you forgot these men brought these wives to the US and sponsored their nursing carrers, if they didn't bring them to the US they would still be in nigeria hoeing or something.

Anyway, who in their right mind would go to nigeria marry wife and bring to the US?
The bolded is key to understanding the personalities of these men!
There are thousands of Nigerian women in US and many are single and searching.
They are established and do not need anyone's money.
But the guys that go to Naija to pick a wife from the village are typically men with low self esteem and fragile egos.
They only do that because they want a naive girl they can exploit and turn to a cash cow for their personal gratification.

First of all, if you are in the US and getting a wife from Nigeria, it will cost nothing less than 10k USD to get her and file the necessary paperwork.
That money couldve gone towards furthering themselves to ensure that they are earning high income. Its a thing of joy if your partner makes more money than you. It is a blessing. But then self entitlement creeps in followed by resentment when the wife refuses to spend all her money on them.
Crime › Re: Nigerian Men Killing Their Wives In The United States. by magicminister:
What a bunch of cry baby looser!
One thing these men have in common is that they are underachievers seeking to live off a woman!
They have been in US for decades but did not attempt to advance themselves beyond blue collar and hourly low paying jobs.
Then they get a village girl from Nigeria whom they know is naive and try to turn her to a cash cow so they can continue being underachievers
Man or Woman, there is no one on earth that would be comfortable working all the crazy hours just to hand over the fruits of their labour to someone else!! That is called pimping!!
Then when their smart wife from Nigeria advances herself and stabilizes, they begin to envy her because she is not letting him control her finances.


You have been in US for decades but did not advance yourself beyond blue collar status, then shame on you!!
You have been in US for decades but still counting on your wife's income, shame on you!!
If you marry a woman or man from Nigeria and support him or her to succeed, that does not mean he or she owes you her salary for the rest of her life.... That does not mean s/he looses her own individuality!!!



My friend is going through same thing!! A woman married him in Nigeria and took him to US. The woman has become so controlling that every time we speak, he is complaining bitterly!! Now imagine how those men treat their wives before they started resistinghuh

We were trained that way and most of us are doing fine and responsible today. When it comes to child training, no "one method fits all" approach. Study your child and use what works best
I beg to differ.
Most Nigerians are not doing fine.
The oppression that started at home has seeped into the society like an oil spill.

E.g. SARs, Kidnappers, Corrupt leaders! Every Nigerian Alive has at some point in their existence ended up a victim of one, two or all of the aforementioned. Do you think it is a coincidence that a lot of Nigerians when granted even the smallest position of Authority or power end up being incredible Bullies!!

If you are a job seeker, gateman go use you yeye
If you are a student, teacher go use you yeye..... and so on and so forth!!

While i am not against discipline, i am saying that there are so many ways to severely discipline a child without ever whipping them like a slave!


The circle of abuse must end!
Family › Re: At What Age Did Your Parents Stop Flogging You? by magicminister:
With due respect to everyone's opinions; i think whipping a child is tantamount to child abuse and a centimetre shy of slavery.

The average Nigerian child experience their first abuse in the hands of those that should protect them. I might get insulted for this but ever wondered why the average Nigerian is so aggressive? If you disagree with them, they retort to insults? Even wondered why the average Nigerian is very afraid of telling the truth?

It all boils down to upbringing like the one we saw in the video posted earlier. Children are individuals with minds of their own and the best way to raise a child is to win that mind over with any means but intimidation and force.


We have to break the cycle of Abuse!!
We must evolve to a better and greater society!
When you flog a child, you are not teaching them to not repeat same mistake, you are teaching them to make sure they don't get caught!


I challenge every Nairalander to take a different discipline approach this week! If your child mess up, call him or sit, sit them down and explain to them why what they did is wrong and why they must never do it again!! Give them one week punishment of dish washing and take away their phone or game or whatever they really enjoy with the promise to return when they behave better!!

Lol...I still prefer the African model to the american model. It shaped my life and that of my siblings and many on this platform. The vices you mentioned are clearly testaments to the fact that those people were not raised right. No child has a mind of his/her own except what she/he has been taught to love/hate. Reason why child soldiers and book haram thrive in the North.

But no system is perfect,so there will be flaws. I dont see you suggesting the alternative model since 'we have to try something different'

Hell, even the japanese with strict upbringing still commit suicide.

Your last paragraph applies to every people from every continent,no just Africa.
Thanks for being respectful!
Often times, when i engage peope here, they resort to insult and personal attacks.
So, probs to you!

While i am not against using the rod in cases of extreme misconduct, i still maintain that the punished meted in that video does not fit the misdeed.
Her only "crime" was not heeding to the words of her parents. That can easily be corrected by withdrawing privileges.

Very wrong. I dont agree.

A child has no true experience of his/her own,thats why they need to be taught/trained. Her dad is training her. Our African model is just different from the American model.

Thinking we are aggressive because we were raised with capital punishment is also wrong. Else, those fvcked up shootings we read about in the US by kids and teenagers wouldn't happen at all.
What do you mean bro? We have terrorism, kidnapping, pervasive rape culture, corruption and so much more!!

Clearly, our style of upbringing is not working!!!! Come on!! We have to try something different. Average Nigerian kid only complies with their parents cos they don’t want to get whipped. That is slavery!!! Then when they leave the parents home, they turn into the very deceptive monsters the parents turned them to.

They go to church, cry to God and smile at every one then go back home and rape a child, then kidnap someone, then loot billions, then bomb people.... then ...

There are several ways he could have approached it

1- stand firm: explain to her why she should not join the group and get her a phone without internet to ensure it never happens

2- persuade: convince her to not join the group and trust her by pretending to look away. Reward her if she complies, try again if she doesn’t!

3- compromise: allow her to join the group but have unfettered access to her account and be able to see any and every message she gets.
