Our government ar really careless nd insensitive,nw dat Nigeria is facing recession nd we all clamor for diversification of the economy,I think all we need nw is policies dat will help businesses in Nigeria grow nt our government waiting aimlessly on foreign investors to come in.

we don't care about ourselves
Why should our govt that we collected rice and voted for

chrisdayo:
Honest man. Don't be deterred, you can still try again. We all need people like you to break the monopoly and extortion of MultiChoice. We are paying through our noses just to watch football and they are not ready to allow flexible viewing...pay as you watch. Pick it up again afterall this is the season of change.

na you wan pay through your nose na
If you no watch ball Wetin go do you

Hiploko:
wooow. Never knew you had sense like this. Mehn!!! Rock bottomed by Buhari. May u always suffer to get something good

have you seen anyone get something good without suffering

repogirl:
I learnt a thing or two from this.

Our government should try to support and protect its own but ofcourse they prefer to be courted by foreign companies, receiving bribes while the company is making a killing off us and taking our money to their own countries.

then why don't local companies bribe them too

prof1990:
i really wish we can have the government support this companies so we can reduce the monopoly that Dstv has. The govt should support home businesses imagine how much Dstv makes from Nigerians every year and take back to their country. We really need to reduce or if possible place a 2year ban on importation and encourage internal production. But this can only be achieved if we put aside politics,religion,tribe and any form of divisiveness and SELFISHNESS and also block every avenue where funds can be mismanaged or embezzled.

must you watch dstv
You can never put aside politics religion or tribe
Hate the game not the player

omolola15:
Na God go punish multichoice and NBC. Corruption killed Hitv because I'm sure multichoice bribed them to rule in their favor.

My Hitv dish and strong decoder just waste like that. The EPL was the main market. And multichoice did all they could to block them from getting it. I'm sure they might even be the ones that blocked the bank from giving them the money on Tuesday. Hitv was willing to share but dstv refused to. Such is life.

Our Nigerian government killed our Nigerian company. What is stopping the ministry of information from investing in the company. Probably there's no one to bribe them. Useless set of people.

I just wish there can be another indigenous company that can rival those useless multichoice. So they can stop collecting my 14k per month.

no be una give them the moni to bribe the gwament

gurunlocker:
Good job by NPF.... I really wish they can make this kind of fast investigation irrespective of status...

are you ready to pay

ibadanfinest:
Nice. But is the topic not above the curriculum of our secondary school students. Even some graduates of accounting, finance and bus admin cannot really talk much on the topic without internet help

that's the point. Learning to research what you don't know

EagleScribes:
Yes boss. And that's the saddest point of it all. The "we" know next to nothing on what to do. The "we" are only useful to be agents against themselves, in favor of the "they"

competition will make ppl wake up
At least now we know that federal might is not automatic ticket
Make a god bleed and the wolves will devour him

Izonpikin:



Even the die hard politicians don't even know why they are in the party they belong... ...its all about the money men...Our political parties are bereft of values...just thieves they all are..

That's why they can jump into the next party as long as they can remain relevant and keep stealing....

thievery is a value na
Abi how many parents have called their children to order or you fit condemn your friend when he shares millions of billions to you. Money talks everywhere in the world

Izonpikin:
exactly...that's the ideology...political parties in Nigeria are just there to steal from the people...no standards that they live up to...just keep stealing...

of course they have standards. Don't share money to delegates and rice to voters and see whether you win election

Hiploko:
you got it right after all. Your plan to inflict pains,massive suffering and hunger is working as planned

yep cos if we don't hit rock bottom we will not vote and act with sense in the future

alexis:
You stated earlier:

The NRA is the most visible because it has alot of money and influence and that is because it has been around for quite sometime. However, there are other groups that oppose the NRA but fight for guns right and they are gaining alot of traction.

I hope they fail

EagleScribes:
You are so on point my brother. Unfortunately, they will never do that, but rather jostle for oil blocs and oil money

why we need to get in there and change it

You got it wrong
We did not

banmee:
The cool thing about the jacked up way Nigerians do business is it is always a case study of how things should not be done. There is no ideology when it comes to the values and political leanings of the average Nigerian. Well, sort of. Their values is often dictated by money and who can provide it. When you go to England, their citizens either belong to the Labour party, because they believe in the rights and power of the average worker, the conservative party, because of their belief in the old school values, or the Liberal party, which believes in changing with the modern times. In the U.S, you have the Democrats, who are very liberal and believe so much in individual expression and personal freedom while you have the Republicans who prefer the old school christian values and the right to bear arms. In these countries, the way you think will determine which party you fall under. If you ask an average Nigerian which party he belongs to, he'll either tell you, PDP or APC. If you ask him why, he most likely will say it is the party that will see the country to Eldorado. If you then ask what values the party holds or stands for, you'll get the deer in a headlights look. They have no clue. No one knows the values or the political leanings of either parties. The only thing holding these politicians together in both parties is the quest for wealth which is why you have politicians "decamping" at will. In America, it is political suicide for a Republican to "decamp" to the democratic party and vice versa. That politician will never be trusted ever again. What Nigerians don't understand is, until we start to define the values that each political parties has or stands for in this country we will never move forward politically. We'll continue going round in circles. You cannot just support or join a party because of an individual. You have to know if the way you are thinking is the same way the person you are supporting, or party is thinking. Promises don't mean squat when both of you are not on the same page. I hope for Nigeria's sake it's citizens wake up from this mental slumber they all seem to be in since independence.

I voted apc to get pdp out

oganology33:
Ur ryt. political parties in Nigeria don't have Ideologies. But I support the PDP, not cos the PDP is a Gud party. But cos I don't see the APC as a beta option. U know wat they say abt 'the devil u know'.

says who
Of course they have ideologies
Get money and power and impoverish your followers by any means necessary geology

asala1:
BS

no wahala
You can eat the gmo rice

amazzinggrace:
On this same nairaland, someone told the story of a mother who would put so much pepper in the food that the children would only eat very little to save money. Lack of human compassion is the only thing that would make a grown assed phucktard say Nigerians eat too much rice. What affordable options are available?

Don't let me curse your generation with incurable illnesses o

cassava Pap yam potato

Na wa o.
True true talk is cheap
Instead of this mumu to share tractor and thresher to farmers

asala1:
Predictable you say? Which more predictable? To allow chance by nature to do something or to do it in the lab and be sure it will for sure happen. It is just like chosing the sex of your baby, you should know that you stand a higher chance in getting the sex you want through artificial insemination/sperm sorting than through normal sexual encounter.

BTW, please is the genes of the crop through natural process not modified?

our point exactly
They are making sure that it will give you cancer et al so you will be dependent upon them for drugs not to talk of terminator technology so you always buy sees from them. Predictable for them not for you

AfonjaGuy:
Lie Mohammed blaming Oil while his clueless Master Dullard Buhari blaming Gej . they will continue their blaming excuse till 2019
useless incompetent men

wait till then na then vote for pdp again

psucc:
No longer PDP? Is Lai Mohammed lying to himself?

Well, we really know and agree that overdependence on oil is the cause but the effect wouldn't have been this devastating should the government had sound policies on ground or at best listened to the voice of reason.

the effects wouldn't exist if you (we) all invested in agric and manufacturing

FowlYansh:
APC is a disgrace to politics and democracy

how they won the election

FowlYansh:
How did we even end up with this crop of leaders?


I regret voting APC

you voted for them

asala1:
What's the difference?

one is natural and predictable
The other is not

Braden102:
A 5000 square feet 5 bedroom duplex can be completed within 3 weeks .

decking nko
No be 2 weeks dem de wait make e dry

rhodiumbrain1:
No o Lagos is a continent lol

Lagosians look for Yankee visa not the other way round

pgiddy:
I so much agree with your number 4. Lots of Americans are illiterate when it comes to geography. Ask an average American student to name 7 countries in Africa, only a very few will be able to after thinking for several minutes.

Some of them even think that Africa is just one country. And when you tell them that 'hey I am from Nigeria, they say, wow that's good I met someone from Kenya yesterday'. Kenya, Nigeria, wetin join them together.

But one thing I like about the student is that they are always excited to see people from other countries, they want to ask you several 'questions'.
One more thing is that do not always jam talk about issues when discussing with an American student. Be careful when you speak against issues like gay, lesbianism, Religion. Always try to know the person's view before you talk.

You don't know if the person you are talking with is a gay or he smokes and you just open mouth dey talk against guys and smokers.

what do they need your geography for. You're the ones looking for visa. They know where their vacation destinations are. That's all they need

alexistaiwo:
What is the essence of spending millions getting educated in the United States of America only to come back to meet your home country in recession. No jobs.
Abegi next news

one patriot will come back with the ideas required to fix it.

Boscojugunu:
I wonder if you guys think before talking. U damn sick

ah ahn eat the bill gates rice na
We will eat the stone rice
Everyone will be happy

ouzo1:
For that bill gates talk u deserve manual reset but for the second reasoning all I say is God bless u

na fight
Go eat the rice na
