I wonder why people are blaming the state of Nigerian roads on the mishap. The mishap was obviously self inflicted. Driving recklessly at unimaginable speeds to such an extent that you can't manoeuvre away from a trailer is completely reckless. Even in developed countries the risk of such accidents from reckless driving is high. The case of Diogo jota and Paul Walker comes to mind. Please people should be mindful not to get sentimental over this because he's a superstar driving in Nigeria. I'm not saying Nigerian roads are the best but let's at least try to be objective in assessing stuffs like this. If this had happened to an ordinary Nigerian, you guys would have reversed the accusations by accusing that Nigerian driver of reckless driving.

that road is one of the best currently in Nigeria, rebuilt by Buhari. The accident was caused by overspending. The impact on that car was too much. The speedometer must be above 200 for that impact.

lwisee:
I blame Anthony Joshua for this accident, he's only lucky to be alive.
Why will you allow friend who is not used to Nigeria roads drive you along Lagos - Ibadan express road.

money sometimes makes us over do. Non of them reside in Nigeria. Why travel Nigeria roads without a professional Nigerian driver? God rest the dead.

I knew a clown will definitely find a way of insulting the country. Most of the developed world you worship and have become a slave to aren't on the list but you ignored it and insult the country as usual and typical of you people. One thing I am sure of is that no matter the insult and demarketing you people give to this nation, the people that will prosper and excel in it will definitely do so.
I am sure even if Nigeria is on that list, you would have also complain and nag about the position it would be. And even if Nigeria were to be on number 2 position,you would have insulted the country on how S.Suden is leading Nigeria. And if Nigeria were to be on the number one position, you would have called the list FAKE. So in all, you people are just terrible and I no really rate una.

And Mr. Man, you can move to S.Sudan. You aren't obliged to remain in Nigeria since the past, present and future condition of the country is making you unsuccessful in your endeavours.

Oga where is the result of the reforms starving Nigerians? Una talk too much.

So what ?
Agreement is Agreement

First admit that the first claim was a lie

You don't get to Escape one lie by telling another lie


The clause Zik negotiated was Secession is treason that was the agreement
Secession is treason repeat Secession is treason
When Awolowo tried to put Secession in the agreement he was shot down

Agreement is.............Agreement

Awolowo stuck to agiriment


CIVIL WAR?
That is another topic
Is that why Eboes killed everyone and spared their leaders in January 1966 coup
Then when the Northerners retaliated you want to cancel agreement

You want to do that and take the South South?

Una get sense no be small

Kaduna Nzeogu is from Delta state, but the coup was igbo coup. Nonsense we read in Nigeria

lawani:
For example how can an account turning over one hundred million naira a year avoid tax if government wants to make it pay? Such an account can not avoid the tax. Those who can avoid tax are small holders. Then start paying tax now because dependence on oil can not last forever and Nigeria can break up anytime

wetin this taxation go cause. Has there not been taxation in Nigeria before now? There's no business in Nigeria that doesn't pay tax, either to the local govt or state. But you taxing cashflow is another dimension entirely. For every increase in tax on a business, the price of the average commodity or service rendered goes up. The final consumers bear the brunt of taxation. You don't tax cashflow you tax profit.

So if my business has cashflow of 1bn, you tax the cashflow not minding I make profit or not, then at the end of the year you still tax my profit. Absurd.

Zionmdde:
Lies!!!
We must pay the tax
Tinubu tax us more!!!!
Jagaban tax the air we Breath biko. #50 for 3 hours breathing

Anybody who evades this new tax should be arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law

Shebi north knows how to vote for the worst presidential candidates

Onye gba oso

onye gba ọsọ, mpaya! Hahaha

Karlifate:
This thread further proves the fact that an average Nigerian is a criminal — including the narrating commenters — the crookedness comes to full glare when s/he hold a public office.

you need to read from whites too, I think this is a global phenomenon. The problem with ours is that there are never conseofor crime in Nigeria.

Borrow, waste it, tax more, then borrow again.

chicfarmer:
Tinubu no dey try but for this one I support am. Wetin CBN, NPA, NIMASA, BOI, NCAA, etc etc dey find for Abuja?

You leave where 70 percent of your business dey, you run go Siddon for Abuja. Is there any sea port in Abuja? Where business dey pass between Abuja and Lagos? Where most of the Banks dey?

What tinubu has don with these agencies is simply commonsensical. Make elrufai and others go rest abeg. Na Dem dey sponsor all these brainless articles.

when you concentrate everything in Lagos, how do you want other states to develop?

Dynamicboss:
I believe infrastructural development should cut across every region of the country. Though Nigeria remains underdeveloped irrespective of the current economic stand

the concentration in Lagos at the detriment of other states is becoming alarming. Nigeria can never develop in this manner. Lagos is already buoyant to stand alone, why not invest massively in other states to enable competition.

The distortion we are creating will mature after Tinubu leaves office. The rate at which the next govt will demystify Lagos will shock us all...

U go explain tìrẹ, ẹ no add up. Did you factor in the 90bn expended on hajj into your jargon? Pls remind me again the remuneration of senators and top govt officials.

nairalanda1:
You guys don't understand the main reason why we borrow.

We borrow because 80% of government revenue comes from crude oil revenues, which come from below 2 million barrels per day, which is not enough for a nation our size.

We also borrow because tax to gdp ratio is 10% which is below the 20% or more we need before we can see something. At state level, it is as low as 2-3%. Low revenue, means more and more borrowing to meet up

Subsidy was eating far too much of the income we were making, and also creating a massive debt that was also eating a lot of the income in servicing, on top of past debts. Subsidy removal freed up more money, but...and this is important...IT DID NOT INCREASE OVERALL INCOME.

So, until we recieve sense, vote out tinubu, and vote in our own version of China's deng, or south korea's park who will take our economy off resource dependency, forget about never needing to borrow.

Even our budget, on top of borrowing is SCANTY. 54 trillion naira in the new year, that means 270000 naira per person per year. The effing sad thing is that corruption even reduces that money self.

Aren't we borrowing even with the subsidy removal? Where then is the gain of the subsidy money

nairalanda1:
Not everyhting is greedy and greedy officials

If we kept subsidy, by now national debt would be at levels that would be intolerable, the government would have run out of money to pay for things, anything, even paper for the government office, and salaries would have stopped being paid. And there would be no refinery producing for the nigerian market...because it won't be profitable,

Plus all of you shouting subsidy is paid in other countryes...you want to pay subsidy on top of the very low tax to gdp that we have? Na invitation to borrowing.

Before una start, tinubu was a hypocrite in 2011for opposing subsidy removal, and we were warned as far back as 1988 that subsidy had to go. If we had kuku commot the thing in 1993 self, by now we would have had enough private refining, and all the NNPC refineres would still be working.

You cannot sell petrol at N40 per liter without palava happening...like APC was promising us before.

We are really diverse in this life.
With respect to his craft but his song felt so bland and boring to my ears, I preferred Sinach but again I will go to my local akanchawa type of praise anyday

Frank Edwards is miles ahead. His songs are divinely.

John Cena the show man. WWE made a whole using him.

She no sabi anything. No be all oyinbo dey educated. Why not collect the 1m, invest 900k,in 2yrs you have the 1m back depending on the interest per annum

PDPdestroyer:
Poor decision, if you consider the time value of money

Jakpon:
Which Burkina Faso? Una go just dey cap wetin no make sense. Why don't you leave Nigeria and relocate to Burkina Faso.

Those ibos advocating for a military take over in Nigeria, should first start with their five south east states. Let them remove their Governors : Alex Otti, Hope Uzodinma, Charles Soludo etc, and then appoint Hausa officers as states administrators. Let's start from their first

so it's Igbos that are calling for military? You need help.

mrvitalis:
You think it's our work to start differentiating Fulanis?

so all kidnappers are Fulanis? Pls tell me more

mrvitalis:
Neither did you provide how and ways to identify the so called bandits

You guys never speak against the bandits just against being labeled bandits

You guys are not serious

is that his work to do? Why do you have govt and security agencies?

Emu4life:
Doesn't negate what he said.
Aren't there criminals in your tribe?

to a very large extent the guy is right. Na politicians cause all these. If you catch terrorist, bandits, treat them as such immediately. We allow things get out of hand, then blame foreigners.

Fables from Wike. Time humbkes everyone

This guy sef. Na every Christmas him dey release song now. Cunny man

bolaayenimo:
What's going through the mind of President Bola Tinubu here?

2027 election

mascot87:
Very proactive President. You have done well, I want you to also carry out preventive measures to ensure su h doesn't happen again in the future. Don't allow enemies of this country destabilize your government and give you names that aren't yours.

do you even know the meaning of proactive?

Which country is that?

DeOTR:
In some countries, you can't just cross from one state to the other the way we do here in Nigeria. You have a have a good reason and exactly where you're going.

richiemcgold:
I still discussed this serious matter with some fellow landlords yesterday. Is there anything we can do to stop this influx of foreigners into the Southwest? My street here in Ondo State is currently dominated by northerners. They have turned every corner and uncompleted buildings to shacks and residents. Their kids are everywhere, they don't attend school. Early in the morning they are already roaming about the community scavenging for scrap iron and water bottles. They know every in-and-out of our area than our own children.

influx of foreigners? So northerners are foreigners? LAGOS was the concentration hub of federal resources and investment for years, it's normal for more Nigerians to migrate to Lagos and states around Lagos.

Fareke:
We have asked the Education Secretary if he received a circular he said no; or if he was asked to send any to us, he said no. We asked if he was verbally informed, he also said no. Let them tell the world who they gave the circular to, or through what channel did they send it.

Who is lying between FG and the School management?

even you know who the liar is. They lie over everything and anything.

bigpicture001:
So long as the US does not include military action by NATO if Russia invades Ukraine again... Russia will only rest , rebuild and invade again..

The US should involve NATO in the whole set up, if they dnt want to give security guarantee...

The US security guarantee is all about sanctions... It won't work this time around as Russia will plan ahead in how to manuevour them..

It's military retaliation that's will work, not sanction

this is a very weak deal and will empower Putin the more. A deal without full military protection is a failed deal for Ukraine.

YoungLionken:
Y'all should continue to seek for more ways to shift blame. Next will be "How Climate Change Can Influence Terrorism" . Clowns🤡.!!

like the terrorism started today. Terrorism that was birthed during civilian govt mismanagement, now they try to blame military dictators. Terrorism that can't even stand 24hrs of military junta.

GanagiBitrus:
Nothing good about the question.
If you have 2good teams in same group, only one qualifies.
The other will inevitably not qualify.

I think the world should adopt the south American pattern currently used in champions league, where every team is in a single pot. We play against each other, and the top 16 teams qualify. Dividing teams into groups ain't fair. Some get easy groups while others get very very hard group.
