The problem with nigeria is I-pigs may God continue to curse them

We are all in this together bro... Na all of us go pay the loan

isthatso:
I finally read it....My 1st instinct not to read it was right! Reno Kust like FFK is not worth reading. But at least you can the the intellectual pedigree in an FFK piece, even though he always twists it for his purposes. This Reno piece could have been written by a Nairalander such was the lack of intellectual capacity on display in the write-up.

In the end it was just another ibo v Hausa mini treatise. The fact is this: the Ibos had it all post independence. The had just discovered oil, they had caught up with the west educationally, they were represented in the civil service and commerce. The Hausas never wanted to be part of Nigeria. The Ibo misadventure, expansionist tendencies and quest for domination led them to a coup in 1966. The negative repercussions of which every Nigerian is feeling today, the negative repercussions of which every African is feeling today by extension. For the Ibos to cry victim is a bit rich. If ElRufai or the north have distrust of the Ibos it is IMHO natural.

Ibos should remmember one thing, considering the societal traditional leadership structure of the North, the massacre of their revered leaders Balewa and Sardauna cannot be expected to be forgotten. It is as deep a psychological scar as the civil war is on the Ibos. It is on record that the counter coup of the North was intended as a secession of the North from Nigeria, it was the British who convinced them otherwise.

Finally the Ibos should always remmember that the oil was in their region, they had financial control over the proceeds as all regions had over their resources. It is their failed misadventure that turned them and the rest of southern Nigeria into a people that today go cap in hand to beg the north for monies earned in the south. It is the misadventure of the Ibo man that halted the North’s rapid quest to develop its own resources and instead share free money from the south. If there was no coup, the north would not have had the power to change the constitution despite their population and claim southern resources for themselves.

Ibos tried to dominate everyone else, they failed, we are all paying the price.....the last people to talk of victimization are Ibos!


Nigeria is a fraud, Awo was right after all... it is a mere geographical expression. The three major groupings have nothing in common. Our ways are not each other’s ways. But who put us in a position where we are trapped in this contraption? The Ibos! The British left a reasonably fair constitution where every region had autonomy over its affairs and could not be changed without approval of 2 of the 3 regions. Never forget who put the north in power over your affairs....it was your forefathers!!!!

There is nothing more nauseating than Ibos complaining of their lot in Nigeria. Even the backwardness of the north is as a result of the Ibo misadventure/ miscalculation of 1966. Prior to that the North was in a race to develop its resources and people to catch up with the autonomous developing south.

I have one question for u....

Kaduna nzeogwu is from where?

DontBullshitMe:
Obi is not eloquent.

In the vice presidential debate, he was totally awful. He couldn't string his thoughts properly.

Eloquence is a hallmark of a decisive leader. Obi isn't one.

And yet u voted buhari....

Nigeria won't move forward, we are not ready... All man for him self.

Lostz:
you will be the one to bury your parents and children.

lockdown has been partially relaxed in Delta.

Monday, Wednesday and Saturday are free days

Lolz, Nigerians always emotional.

Don't worry, after this coro, everyone go get sense by force... Lockdown relaxed doesn't stop social distancing..

Una feel say na joke be this, body go tell everybody las las

Edusteve:
So long as our leaders refuse to think alternatively on how to help people eat this lockdown will not work that is just the honest true
Anyway check my signature for new available airdrop of $300 register now before the month run off

Trust me, when they start burying their parents and children, they will respect lockdown

isthatso:
Reno and El Rufai are one and the same. They were both in PDP. The only difference is1 is in power and 1 is not...same with FFK. Don’t deceive yourself, Reno is not your friend, neither is El Rufai. Neither of them give a shit about you.

Did u read any where I say Reno is my friend or did u see anywhere I say they give a shit about me?

What is it with u guys and attacking mentality, a message was passed, I read and understand, rather than trying to attack.

This same attitude is how we found our self in this shit, thinking everything is a competition and fight.

isthatso:
Reno should shut up jare. People have real concerns and challenges right now. Nobody cares!!!

Please u guys should care, read and understand. because thats how u guys voted us into this mess... Without studying history of the man u are voting for.

Take ur time and read that piece, it won't take u more than 10mins.

EzzyCarter:
So it's now by force to donate money to the government right? Without consultation with labor union or workers. Other countries are helping their citizens in difficult times like these, so what you can think of is to double the hardship on your people?
If you think there's still hope for Nigeria, then I don't know what to say to you


Watch how other governors will follow suit. This is the kind of decision they are quick to emulate

By 2023 we go get sense when voting

PHIPEX:
Let's not be elitist. Imagine the mechanic, the vulcanizer, the bus driver, the traders stop for a minute and ask yourself how do these people survive? No one is supporting recklessness at this time but as much as you want us to be safe from Covid-19, also make plan to keep them safe from hunger virus, both kill equally.

Hunger have been in Nigeria for a long time, it never started now, is surprising we are all shouting hunger hunger hunger , like it started today....

Let them go out, guess what, ur senator, ur governors, won't step their feet outside,.

That mechanic will still die of covid19 why ur leaders bury them.

Difficult times call for difficult measures....

PHIPEX:
So how many of your neighbours have you bothered to check how they are surviving this period. It's easy to push for a lockdown when you are comfortable at home. A hungry and angry Nigerian does not fear Covid-19, he needs food to think straight.
In the absence of any palliative, continuing the lockdown becomes criminal.

When they start burying their parents and children, they will fear covid19, all an average Nigerian think about is his stomach and nothing else....

They should lift the lock down, after 2months bod ho tell every body....

princemillla:
Why extebd the lock down when we can easily compulsory face mask in public places, ban gathering and enforce full social distancing.



Na govt go first break the law e sure for me

U think face mask will solve the one on ground, we have gone past face mask, it is now a full blown issue in Nigeria. Open this lock down and what u are seeing will just be a mere joke.

The foreign country don't even have time to help u because they are dealing with their own problem.

The senator speaking won't step feet outside his house.... Na still poor men GI die for this issue, u guys are playing with fire shouting hungry, there was always hungry in Nigeria, it nevwr started today

dyfaze:
Dont mind them, NCDC are just permutating figures like INEC collation center. We all know that the virus is real but figures is being manipulated. Imagine, Pic, video, dem no gree release not necessarilly showing their faces, they can blurred it. Na just to release numbers everyday like Baba Ijebu. God will help us in this country

No God will help u to have sense, initially u guys said there is no covid19 in Nigeria, now is NCDC permutatimg figures ... Why sense hard una like this

Olarewaju89:
I come to realize that given tithes is a spiritual thing... Except you pray for it that God should give you the spirit to do so, you can't do it. Thanks.

This mentality is why we don't grow in Africa and why Africa will never grow despite our spiritualness ...

Yet nations less religious are growing, do u know why, they have common sense and not gullible like us

Officialgarri:
Initially I was going to say it was a senseless move, but then I reasoned with then based on my own personal experience.

I know someone who travelled down from Rivers state today despite all the noise Gov. Wike is making.
People are exiting and gaining entry via border villages.

Also, I expereinced Covid 19 task force at borders receiving money to allow you pass and can as well patronize their nose mask or sanitizer. It's business.

With the figure keep increasing, and Nigerians kept acting smart ... It won't take long we will start seeing what happened in Ecuador....

Africa especially Nigerians will learn from this covid19 issue...

Sunofgod:
Lagos is cursed....

Is this how shallow u reason?

Wolexdey:
You guys don't know what's coming... You don't know the kind of rulers you have in government...

You're not seeing far dear

And u think attacking everyone opinion is the solution

Wolexdey:
What support has he rendered so far?

Attack the message not the messenger.

U people should learn how to be a positive critique

Onyekachi419:
One's you can pay your bills nobody have the right to call you poor.

My brother hustle o, so that when dem dey insult poor people, u no go vex

leaculpa:
I thought she was an enlightened person. A mixed Lebanese woman with rich parents saying all these.
Women that openly preach this nonsense have suffered much emotional abuse from their husbands & have accepted being a doormat as a coping mechanism. Sad. You deserve better.

U see one problem with our generation, is that we look for standard too much. When it come to marriage, we all have what we can take and what we cant take.

There is no standard and book to follow, cheating means nothing to her and that is alright.

If the next woman said she can't take cheating, is also OK.

Some men out there take some stuff from their wife another man can't take. There are some men that can take slap from their wife and some men, that marriage is over.

Create ur own formula, create ur own pattern, create ur own limit and live by it.

Until our generation understand that every malam with his own kettle, our marriage will always fail

SUPERPACK:
Do not be deceived people of God, that building is actually the largest 5G factory on earth not a hospital. They should show us the inside and not the corridor only. Putin is building it in partnership with China to produce more 5G equipments to spread the coronavirus to uninfected countries. We condemn this structure strongly.

Why are u people thinking so shallow

Stalwert:
show us how you and Jonathan shared $2 billion arms funds, that is where our real interest is not extolling the virtues of Kigame, who ruthlessly deal with critiques and dissidents.

Attack the message not the messenger

Devops:
28% of his wealth.. wow.

Meanwhile the very stupid Mark Zuckerberg worth over $57Billion can't even donate up to half a billion. Very stingy stupid man.
Na to dey block account ehn know.

I feel like beating the shit out of him, look at Tory Lanez Live Video we were all using to kill boredom on IG. the stupid Mark Zuckerberg had to cut it off and ban his account.

Mehn Thank God he doesn't own twitter. Very stupid man.

U sound like a yahoo boy

Covid19 is the best means this administration have to steal since they took over from PDP and truely they are not taking any chances...

texazzpete:
If someone is intelligent enough to graduate from University at 18, what's the issue?

Intelligence is not maturity bro. Why rush them into adult hood many of this kids are not prepaid for ... U see a teenager struggling with adult hood life, when the pressure set in ....

Let's say a kid left secondary school at 17. At 21 he is already done with a 4yrs course 22yrs he is done with NYSC.

22yrs in the labour market is still very OK....

lahizak:
Thats a very good move. If u are vigilant u will observe that most of the people failing in the university are either too young or too old. The ones graduating with the best result are between those age group except in some very small cases. The old ones is understandable but nowadays d people in the uni are just too young. I am a secondary school teacher and I av lot of students in jss 1 that are between the age of 8 and 9 and they are very dull compared to their classmate of age 12 or 13. Nowadays parent tend to rush their children.my younger sister is 15 in ss2 and she sat 4 jamb dis year. She got 181 and if she passed waec, she will be in 100l next year. I had to tell my mum to let her write another jamb next year so dat she can be more matured.

My kid bro is 18, took jamb scored 295 Last year, entered uni this year. His maturity is already helping him. He said his target is to be the best graduating student. He has written three scholarship exams this year, he said he plans to get at least two scholarship ... To stop my parents support. The young man spent 1year in workshop learning how to repair oil well head valve, and other petroleum machines... At 18 he has visited over 7 oil well location across Nigeria.

And later got admission to study petroleum engineering, when I look at him I just smile because the young man is position for greatness already.

But those his class mate who came in at 16yrs can't match his maturity and level of exposure.

This recent parents needs to be reoriented they are messing up this kids real time

YorubaKinging:
There's nothing wrong with this
Nigerians are hypocrites
Leave her alone

And face your governments that has been oppressing you for years
Stand up for your rights

The couples in the above post did the same thing
But where is the outrage?

A typical Nigerian always looking for whom to blame withour taking responsibility for their action.

I pray coro remain in this country at least 6months, by then everyone brain go reset

oyeb15:
Yes ...but d hunger is becoming too severe. People are depressed with suicidal thoughts and our government have nothing in place.If we rely on Lockdown, it will nearly reach 6months.

This lock down won't go beyond 3wks am sure of that. But if we insist and go our on normal! Business, trust me, the damage it will do, won't be solved in 2yrs.

No be today we know how wicked our leaders are, so I personally dont expect much from them

Nurses and doctors are risking their lives for us, all they asked us is stay home and stay safe. Is that too much for us to bear?

oyeb15:
Which discussion Daddy?Are you going to feed d owners of those shops or what? Will their rents or operating loans be forgiven?

Excuse is like a shoe if u look for one u will always see.

Do u think if the virus cases explode they can remain in their store and sell? Many of them will even die selling their product.

What is difficult for people to understand. Let's go 2 to 3wks lockdown.

Once we can flatten the curve, then we return. With this lock down period.

Those already affected will show symptoms in their homes without affecting the general public.

Once we can get those infected ... Then we return back to business. The virus don't spread, we are the one spreading it.

So if we stop moving, virus stop spreading... Then we isolate those already affected.

This was how China was able to beat it, saving benjin and Shanghai from major hit.

Look at america and Europe trying to be civil and liberal, how market.

The world is expecting more hit on Africa, the only way we can prove them wrong is stay at home.

We need to be logical and not emotional.

There was hungry in Nigeria b4 covid 19, hunger didn't start today

oyeb15:
Government is spoiling businesses. Soon they will say youths are lazy... Certificate cannot be meal tickets...

The jobs we struggle to create for ourselves in hostile environment like Nigeria, government is using inappropriate policy to spoil it.

How old are u?....

U don't involve in discussion u can't comprehend

Ogonimilitant:
It is better to die on your own than being imprisoned by the government without any attention.

Most of them are dumped in a place animals cannot live. Nobody will want to run away if adequate attention is given to him/her3

Excuse is like a shoe, if u look for ur size, u will always find it.

Wilstino:
Bashir was wrong on this.

The guy's plant is for cars, I believe to make the ventilators some modification needs to be made and of course with cost implication.


The guy has to be sure of market/demand before going into it. The automakers in the US (GM, Ford et al), were asked by Govt to make the ventilators.

One of the few sensible person in this thread
