The funds from illegal Nigerian immigrants did a lot to sustain the Naija economy. All this hate has repercussions. You may think it is fun to deport your fellow Nigerians in the US, but the impact will be felt in Nigeria. If you think things are bad now, remove all the funds sent to Naija, and you will realize things can worsen. You can wish yourself success by not wishing for the downfall of others. Some people are SICK and despicable

Remember how the Dome stopped all the Iranian Ballistic Missiles? I am not sure you know the size of Iran territory and the current Israel land is not the same in the Bible. By the way, the Jewish ain't Christian and do not believe in your Bible. Go and preach on the streets of Israel, I will laugh at you in jail. Get wisdom, then get knowledge.

StUriah:
Which motivational speaker dey give Iran this kin courage?

Gaza koh, Gaza ni!

Goliath was a towering giant when he came to face the Israelites in those days. Today, Archeologists couldn't trace his skull any longer.

This Gaza nonsense will soon be casted into the wastebasket of history.

The Iranian GAZA you see today, you shall see it no more.

We are still waiting for Peter Obi to tweet on this lol. We know he would not.

Give Osinhem 20yrs then come back and speak...I wont drag this matter with you. Go and watch your stars from 20yrs ago ...Rome was not built in a day. I cannot wait for Osinhem to enter Premier League...they wont be able to stop him. You do not need to insult to make your point...you are witnessing a legend...buy enough popcorn and keep watching

Dragunz:
I am moved to reply you out of all those stupid posts your likes have been posting.

Ronaldo has score more headers than Osimhen's entire career goals, are you ppl daft? Even the ability to change team dynamic like you foolishly pointed out, he is no where near those two.

Una go just carry una padipadi(na my brother na my brother) African mentality into all discussions.

The mistake is thinking of a plumber as just one faceted work. If you are a plumber in Nigeria or US, you can also go into real estate and do all pumping work by yourself ..and save over N1m on one house alone...you can then rent or sell. Here in the US, we have Master Plumbers that make more than Doctors and have their own companies hiring more people...mind you, they can pay whatever they want in taxes and declare any income...a Doctor will need years of school and tons of loans. My point is...you can be a plumber and be very successful even If it is a side hustle.

My Bricklayer went into Real Estate...buys materials, builds to Lintel and sell ...buyers put the roofs and all. He went to Mecca and a relatively young guy. His craft has opened doors for him into Govt contract work and his honesty. I once wrote a blog...School is not Enough. That is the truth. A child must learn beyond the typical, and I am glad the Govt is waking up to this reality.

Kobojunkie:
In Nigeria, how many plumbers do you know there make more than doctors that basic education curriculum should be occluded to teach students plumbing?

A good header, a good striker, commands the attention of defenders...his speed matches with Ronaldo and his dribble can match Messi...both are not great headers and do not change the dynamic of a Team like Osinhem. Who cares now about his former team? You are right but you need to educate people so they can understand your position. They are too obsessed with Messi and Ronaldo to be objective

fuckJones:
victor is bigger than Messi and Ronaldo combined

You catch them young...interests must begin at a young age. By Secondary School, they are already forming I can't be a plumber lol...most don't know some plumbers make more than doctors and lawyers in Nigeria

RoxyBrownAutos:
Take this subjects to senior secondary class.Those minors in primary and junior secondary cannot cope with knowledge required.

Our own Navy Seals...Trained Tactical Unit meant to eliminate terrorists with precision...I am sure they may not be up to 6 or 10 that went for this operation. The training started under Buhari.

You are comparing Syria with Iran? You definitely do not know much about the Middle East. Read up about Shiite and Sunni.

Nwaikpe:
Whether you like it or not, no allegiance against the US or Israel can stand.

It is only an allegiance with the US that protects countries and continents.

Syria had stronger military agreement with Russia, but when the chips went down, Russia could only give ASSAD assylum.

Think BRICS. Do you think North Korea is sending soldiers to Russia without the consent of the Chinese?. Think --- Russia/China is ONE

Nwaikpe:
But the funny thing here is that, America's function with Israel is to restrain it from wiping Iran off the map, while Russian function with Iran will be to instigate its terrorism on Israel.

American is known to protect, defend and win all wars.
I don';t think Russia can also boast of that. E.g. Ukraine.
I'd prefer China to back Iran than Russia.

Russia will stand with Judeo Christian American Enemies than with shia iran islamic animals.

Write this down somewhere.

An attempt to change the existing amendment can only be done through a new constitutional amendment, which requires either a joint resolution passed by two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, or a convention called by Congress in response to two-thirds of state legislatures requesting one.

However, Trump's order doesn't change the wording. Instead, it attempts to reinterpret a clause in the amendment to no longer apply to large numbers of people that it used to.

See Massive Factory Built By A Young Anambra Industrialist(Video)

This is the impressive Zobis Electrical Wires and Cable factory established by a young Igbo industrialist.

Located in Okoti Odekpe, Ogbaru local government of Anambra State, this expansive facility spans over 400 plots of land.

Within its premises, are about 6 factories, 3 warehouses, an administrative building, staff quarters, and an ongoing infirmary.

Zobis Electrical Wires and Cable factory specializes in producing various types of cables and stands as one of the largest factories in Anambra, rapidly emerging as a leading brand in Nigeria.

The massive factory is owned by John Ezeobi, an industrialist who hails from Ezinifite, Anambra, state.

This visionary entrepreneur began the the construction of this Factory in his 30s.

Today, at just 40, his brainchild stands as one of the pride of Anambra state, showing the remarkable results that determination and perseverance can guarantee.

Airports are not just meant for planes to land carrying passengers. This is an Agro-Airport, so Ekiti must be planning to invest in Agriculture. Airports are also used for emergencies and the President would rather land in an airport than travel on the road from state to state. Every state ought to have an airport, but they should also have a plan of strategic advantage for what they want to use the airport for.

I am not sure why they had the water salute. My guess is - this is not the first plane landing at this airport but I stand corrected.

go and ask the officer if he was asking according to the law...oops, sorry he is dead. No one cares about the legality of an officer..you kill an officer here, you are dead. Did EFCC kill a Nigerian citizen...go and sleep please.

lexy2014:
that is not what I asked you.

Was the officer of the law acting according to the law?

Does anything justify the killing of a Nigerian citizen?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xIOFZ0i_xA

You japa and say that here ...whether officer stop and harass you justly or unjustly...justify the killing on social media openly and enjoy 😉 the blowback..

mind you the guy he used is not registered to him...he is truly in trouble. Judges here will automatically give life sentence ...he will be lucky if not waxed in jail.

lexy2014:

Nothing justifies the killing of any officer of the law.

Don't japa and ever say this in the West ..

you kill an officer...you are better be dead or surrender in public on live TV or else ...extrajudicial killing niyen especially in the USA

madridguy:
I disagree with Mr. Reno on this. It is obvious to every sane Nigerians that things like this will surely happen. Immediately the EFCC operatives started operating like the banned SARS anyone with a functioning brain will know someday casualty like this is bond to happen.

Years ago during the era of C.I.D, there used to be a man in our street who is a trafficker, he trafficked young fine girls to Europe, anytime the C.I.D are coming for the man, at times they dress like old people, while some will dress like refuse collector and they will be in our area for hours, anytime the man get is open they will go inside and raid them.

They will never shot a single bullet, infact some times the man boys will jump fence, run they won't because of that shot a single bullet. We always sees professionalism in the Nigeria Police of C.I.D teams in those days.

But now, we have seen series of video evidence of EFCC breaking into peoples home at midnight, beating the suspects, beating their wives and even injured them. A video circulated online months ago when they raided a hotel and they went into the manager's office, beating her and other ladies there and the most embarrassing things they even stole ladies wigs.... How do you expect the citizens to like you or support after watching all this...

You went for a midnight raid with just two officers, how can a two men officers went for a midnight raid? The EFCC chairman must coordinate his boys to avoid situation like this in the future.

I am not saying we should not take US assistance...I said we should be careful. We can look into the technology and how to prevent it. You can also create non-US systems to safeguard the infrastructure. My point - Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Every country wants strategic advantage, especially the Western nations. My point is - they don't usually give anything for free. I am sure you heard from our military that the same NGOs are funding fighters and selling weapons. My point again - be guided. That is how you stay safe.

smokinloud:
Let's assume US have an ulterior motive, does Nigeria possess the technological capabilities to protect its cyberspace from potential US interference? Even if we decline US aid for the fibre optic network, we still lack the necessary infrastructure. This is the fact. What do you think we have to defend our cyberspace against US surveillance or other malicious activities. Should we reject US assistance solely based on anti-Western sentiments, or is it more pragmatic to acknowledge our current vulnerabilities and seek ways to address them?.

Na so we think in Iraq Syria Libya Afghanistan until it actually happens lol. Imagine access to security networks and the shutdown of the economy with just a bug. Why do you think China prefers to create their own everything? they ain't willing to take any chance

I get all your points, but you may be shocked to find out that all the glitters is not gold. Lots of politicians here engage in bribery and corruption. They get donations to their campaigns and pass laws for their cronies. The people can do nothing about it. If you see the amount of work people do for minimum wage, you will cry. The reason more of our people do well abroad is because the West picks the best or very best amongst us, so the chances to move up the ladder to average or above-average is a little high. Some of our people unable to move up dabble in fraud which also inflates the benefits abroad. There are lots and lots and lots of our people here living in rented apartments more so than those that are landlords. Lots of our folks are in jail too...long term sentences. How do you return back to Nigeria and say you couldn't make it abroad? Shame alone is enough reason for people to keep toiling. Still I get your point...we have our issues in Nigeria, but like I said earlier, until we all travel and experience it, you will never understand the difference between Naija work and abroad work for real.

We thank God for drugs and medications. We thank God for govt benefits. If the West gets rid of retiree benefits, benefits for the poor, subsidized health care and so on...more people will run back to Nigeria. My fear..the West will soon start getting rid of these benefits. If you follow Naija news, people are already returning to Nigeria for medical procedures...expect more in the years to come.

Otsam:
I'm not a fan of mediocrity and I'm not making a case for anyone guilty of it. But let's be realistic, both quality and quantity of work you do in Nigeria, do we get values for the input? If you agree with me, you will realize that people will take the same job back in Nigeria with the same enthusiasm if they get values for their energy. Even the tax we are talking about, no one would have complained if they are seeing the results of the tax. That's the reason people abroad will only complain about tax yet, refuse to go back home. They get the value for those taxes.
If we are talking about the unlucky ones abroad that is yet to have a house back home, let's compare the ratio landlords in the population back home to the ratio of landlords in the population of our people abroad and see the difference.
So let's be realistic,the politicians should robbing it on the masses' face that they control their destiny.

For every solution, you create another problem. So many people now depend on POS services as a side business. Passing regulations that eliminate them will put all these people out of business.

On the other hand, I see the problem. Most above-average-income earners use transfers and barely use cash, so the charges affect low-income and average-income earners. The Govt has limited how much POS business owners can get daily. The Govt may need to enforce that. I also agree that they need to implement access to cash, but it is not cheap to install ATMs everywhere.

Nigeria may want to try the Western system. Allow others to install an ATM, load cash, and charge customers for using their ATM. So if you use your GTBank card at a non-GTBank ATM installed by others, you pay x amount. Well guess what, it is similar to POS . If we say the Govt should regulate how much POS could charge, say ...for N10,000, charge N100, access to cash is not the same everywhere so that it will hurt some.

Now that I have listed some challenges, what solutions could we go with...

1. Set POS charges for POS operators
2. Allow the charges to be tied to distance from the nearest bank or banks, so if you are 5km from a Bank, you charge N100 for every N10,000; if you are more than that, you charge N200.
3. Who will enforce? Create a hotline to report POS owners or create an email, Facebook, X account, or our system.
4. Make all POS operators get a license and display them.
5. Those who violate these charges after multiple warnings will have their license revoked, and they will need to re-apply
6. Tie all licenses to NIN so if POS is used for ransom, you know who you are looking for.

These are my solutions. Come up with yours, and keep the insults. We need to be a solution-oriented society.

I am not talking about the amount of work..I am talking about the quality of work. Have you worked security inside snow for minimum wage abroad? inside cold room? clean houses? just to earn how much?

You work double so you can earn enough to do something back home if you are lucky. Do you know how many of our people abroad still don't have a house in Nigeria?

Otsam:
The amount of work or hours of work Nigerians abroad undertakes is mostly born out of the realization of how much they could amass and bring back home in a set time frame also, sometimes because of our intentions to come and impress and express back home. So don't compare it with her that your survival depends absolutely on how far and hard you can go.

Don't worry Naija is getting there...days of Rent of $500/yr is coming to an end as your minimum wages increase, employers will start demanding you work hard for what you earn. States are getting rid of those collecting salaries on the payroll for doing nothing. You think cos people make N1k per hr, they don't pay N300k per month in rent lol. It is until you japa that you understand that you can't survive on N1000/hr lol

Mexyz:
Do I get to be paid the same amount with what people receive there?
Because I really do not know your argument now.
How about they introduce something like 1k/hr for the least paying job in Nigeria and see if Nigerians will spend 12hrs working non-stop or not.
A country where minimum wage is less than $50 is what you're using to compare to USA or other advanced countries?
