Skepticus:


It's always about the oil.

Northern Nigerian Petroleum Corporation.

Hopefully, the oil dries up and alternative sources of energy catches up in due time, so this evil british contraption can crash quietly.

30 yrs then we start with Gas
Better come up with Plan b

schoolboij:
How did Makinde win if people's votes do not count?

are you minding the slowpoke?

Cue4rm:
Honestly I love Tinubu, jokes apart.

This guy is just an African Mafioso and I will like him to drop a book about the secret behind his success.

No Secret other than to share the money

I'm his number one street fan.

Tell me a man who doesn't want to be like Tinubu street wise?
Cartel master.

Back to the topic, Meyer is just jealous simple.
She has seen sign of good tidings coming toward ms Phillips

Chumani:
In as much as I believe in abiding by the law. I think the law should be reviewed for the riders to meet their daily targets.

I know of a man that his survival is on that Gokada.

I know a man whose survival is thru armed robbery,should We change the laws for him?

LordIsaac:
Quite a swift reaction since it concerns the rich. Wicked people!

why are they wicked. Is it their fault that you don't care about yourselves

highdon:
Dear African pastors forget about who will win
election ... Just divide the sea... African People want to
go to EUROPE

so they can go and spoil that one too

Earthbound:
Can Nigerians be wise for once and vote Sowore?


It seems every election, we suffer chronic short term memory loss.

which election did we suffer memory loss. Are there any better candidates to choose from?

Bonapart:
All these people splitting the vote meant for Atiku are not wise. They are the enemy of the country. They know vividly that they can't win but

then he should go and beg them

Babysho:
I said we all want a good country you said I'm a joker. Well said like a true oppressor lover!

No
You said we all want the same thing
We don't
Why I called you a joker

Firstly, Democracy or Demonstration Of Craze like Fela calls it is a sham,

Really
Cos it works just fine everywhere it's operated
Not white man fault you're too lazy to operate it as it should

especially the one the white people taught us. Simply because Sowore doesn't have enough funds means we should leave the country to be looted by rogues.

No
It means you should find a way to solve the problem of campaigning across 200 million ppl

You make it seem like it's Sowore against you

He is against me if he is not winning

when it's You and Sowore against the likes of Obasanjo, Atiku, Ganduje, Buhari etc.

it's every man for himself
Why I Say you're joking

I can't wrap my head around your perspectives.

Clearly

Did you watch something on local TV that brainwashed you?

Nothing brainwashes me
So it must be you

Because you seem like an educated guy who must know one or two things of Nigeria's history but you're still adamant about leaving the country the way it is.

no I'm adamant about crawling before flying otherwise we will not move forward at all.
Get rich quick won't work here

[/b]If there is one thing I've learned about these schools, it's that there are thousands of legitimately wealthy Nigerians. If you visit schools like AISL, Lekki British School, Grange School, BIS, Loyola Jesuit, Greensprings School and 'other highbrow' schools in Lagos and Abuja, you will realize there are several successful Nigerians(who have never been in government but are doing very well in their fields) that can afford this education for their children.

If you can afford it, then give it a shot. Your kids deserve the best...[b]

must a thief be in govt to chop govt money

Philipmems:
I weep for Nigeria, the only time most people feel the need to do the right thing is when others are watching. You guys can not continue like, this is ridiculous. Nigerians need exposure to see how the rest of the world operate and then you will know most of you are suffering.

where in the world isn't somebody watching

AutoJoshNIG:
In Lagos, our love for short cuts is legendary.

For some bizarre reasons – Lagosians are always in a hurry.

Lagosians always have a way of circumventing established processes without any consideration for their consequences.

For instance, these wire mesh fences were constructed by the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode administration along very busy expressways in the state.

They were constructed to discourage pedestrians from crossing the expressway.

https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Wire-Mesh-Median-Fence-1.jpg?w=600&ssl=1


The median fences also serve the purpose of discouraging street trading and hawking on these expressways.

Also, with the fences – pickpockets, robbers and other criminals who emerge from nowhere and snatch valuables from unsuspecting pedestrians before disappearing into their hideouts have also being prevented from operating easily.

Despite these benefits, some sections of the median have been cut out to serve as thoroughfare for errant pedestrians.

In the pictures below, some Lagosians – despite the conspicuous presence of a pedestrian bridge and the inherent risk of getting run over by speeding motorists – can be seen using the cut out section of the wire fence as short cuts to the other side of the road.

Why do Lagosians put themselves in harms way?

Indeed, Lagosians, why are we like this?

poor urban planning
How many pedestrian bridged have you seen abroad
Traffic lights is what you need at such locations

mankand:
Such spots should be manned with task force officials who will quickly throw defaulters into their van. It will be a lesson for others

when SARS start with you you will be complaining again

Clapbackdon:
Hanger the tittle to "16 things every single candidate in Nigeria has that Buhari doesn't "

Even the local government councilor candidates will defeat buhari in a debate or when compared side by side with these metrics

it's like you've never seen or heard councillor speak before

Babysho:
I listened to a lot of Fela today and it's kinda crazy that the same awful events during his time are still happening in 2019. The same thieves that Fela cried about are the ones we are still celebrating in 2019.

Did you know Obasanjo ordered 1,000 soldiers to beat up Fela and his family, burn down his house, rape his wives and in the scuffle, they threw his mother out of a window. All of these simply because a man sang about our soldiers/police acting like zombies(which they are).
This same Obasanjo is being celebrated. Some call him Baba. Some call him the Father of Nigeria. A thief is endorsing another thief and we see nothing wrong.

What Sowore is doing is not easy. It takes courage, it takes a certain level of TRUE love for your motherland, it takes integrity too. Fela sang that "my Nigerian people no won talk! Them no won fight for their happiness!" Someone as influencial as Fela sang that we should fight our corrupt government like every other country did yet NOTHING happened. Instead, we even fell deeply in love the corrupt ones. So it's not surprising that Sowore wouldn't stand a chance. It's not surprising at all! Fela sang and didn't act but he said we should act but we didn't! Now, Sowore is doing all the work and acting on behalf of us, SIMPLE FOLLOW! SIMPLE FOLLOW! WE CANNOT FOLLOW!

Only illiterates will make the "he should start from somewhere"

Au contraire mes ami
It's political illiterates pretending to be educated that are telling him to ride on with a failing tactic
Which resource will he use to campaign to 66 million traders and farmers with no internet
Or you think the election is in nairaland

or "he should remain an activist" or "he can't win"

This is an informed fact not wishful thinking of the naive

comments. If he should run as even a governor, he'd not still win.

That should tell you and him something

There are thousands of him; people with good intentions for Nigeria - that have tried

There is no try
Either you do or youh don't
If you can't win
You can't solve or problems

to run for governor but nobody even cared.

Cos they had nothing to offer

For you to cut down on corruption, you have to start from the top.

Says who?
You crawl before you fly

For the ones that say he should remain an activist, if he does he'll remain an activist like Soyinka and nothing will change till his death.

Cos activists don't want change
If things change no more glory for them

Now the classic "HE CAN'T WIN", y'all don't know the power you carry.

We do
We just don't want to be disappointed again

You say there are too much people in the north.

Only you say that

If you truly love Nigeria you'd do all you can to spread the word. Nigeria is not that big! And we all want something in common.

What do we want in common
Joker

A good country for good people!

Hahahahaha this evil country

Therefore, I've come to the conclusion that majority of Nigerians, even the educated ones are still in love with their oppressors because they wish to be oppressors themselves!!

now you're talking like educated somebody

chozzy:
Let's hear word jare.

Enough of these celebration of mediocrity

Larfage in Ewekoro generates over 60MW for its cement plant.

Dangote in Apapa, Flour Mills, Guiness etc generate over 50MW each for their plants

Buhari and his minions are here dancing over a 9MW Perkins gas generator.

That thing they commissioned in Aba is a normal Perkins generator but uses gas instead of AGO/Petrol.

Nothing really spectacular. Only in Nigeria will a president be commissioning a generator and claiming it's an achievement.

I even heard it is Ariaria market taders that contributed to fund the project

Abia state govt tarred the road leading to the project site.

Buhari's contribution was merely to grant licences

you're not a big picture kind of guy are you

If it's so easy where's your own Perkins
Let's see if you can Perk without govt license
Once it works in abia
It can be replicated nation wide
Universities markets
Heck housing estates can power themselves instead of begging Nepa

Stop dreaming of federal govt building generators and distributing transformer

santopelele:
this man (dangote) will buy nigeria and everything (including u) in this shithole.
if dangote can build 1 standard refinery, what stops the federal govt frm building 10 of it.

Lack of incentive
What you should ask is what stops the governors ministers senators reps and commissioners from building refineries with their loot instead of hotel and event Centre

ame to our politicians

OkaNaUbe:
15000 voters have been disenfranchised!

They had 8 years to collect those cards. They were not interested in voting

echelons:
See the new way of Vote buying. Few weeks to the election, bring up one stupid scheme, share 5K to 10K to the poor, promise them you'll give them more if you come back, they believe the free money will come again and vote, not according to their conscience but by the spirit behind the money.

This government has succeeded in pushing much more people into abject poverty so they will be able to manipulate them. From N-power scheme, to market money to TraderMoni, all schemes meant to keep people alive enough, but not living.

They even say government will build banks too. When will these guys have sense. When will they understand that government's business is not going into business?

When shall an N-power beneficiary start thinking of buying a house? Paying up for further education?
No need to waste my thoughts on TraderMoni, that one is a total scam will be eliminated after the elections.


Atiku is coming with the promises of growing this economy. Young graduates will get well paying jobs and have capacity to elevate their lives and be capable of putting the smiles on the faces of their parents.

Their will be jobs for artisans because people will have money to pay for their services.

There will be better education for the Nigerian people, so they can be able to define a proper path for their lives.

Private sector businesses will thrive as government will only be involved in making policies that will encourage their growth.

Let's Get Nigeria Working Again.

Atiku is the Answer.

no be only promises

NobleSign0r:
Sir, pls can we have a little discussion privately?

worth regards to?

Shelumiel:
In what way do you expect to survive when your country is solely dependent on crude oil for its survival (and don't tell me mining , because it's 0.3% of our export )?

our govt and politicians are solely dependent on oil, not the masses
Oil is like 12%
That leaves over 82% of survival reserve
A ma wa alright laslas

vuc1:
I do remember to help people just because I have the mind to give and not because someone inspired or compelled me to.We're all different though what works for one may not work for the other.

exactly
the pictures are for the ones that don't

uzobaby:
I will be ashamed to donate such as a billionaire. gifts that equal one's status commands respect. ...gifts below one's status attracts disrespect to the person. .

what equals billionaire status simple question you cannot answer

cynacob25:
Good morning bro,
i went for a contract and requested for 18,000,000 but the management said they will pay 13,000,000 on getting to legal and statutory phase ( i mean their share) they requested for 40% of the money and i held my ground by saying if it is 40% they want my asking price stands at 18,000,000 and the contract was awarded because have done my underground work and include the legal and statutory fee together with what am charging. so don't forget, you might have met one person but there are others behind the scene. the person you see is regarded as visible which constitute (20%) while the other people behind the scene are the hidden and constitute 80%.

Hmmm another angle
But the 'friend ' should've discussed all this at the beginning like you did so he will know it's business not help.

I can settle 90% if business calls for it as 10% is better than nothing
But if it's appreciation I will not give pass 10% as it is customary
Even first republic politicians were known as 10 percentErs that made nzeogwu kill them
10 percent o

Shelumiel:
...you gotta be joking !

we survived 400 years of slavery
We can survive without oil
It's politicians and civil servants (less than 5% of population) that will tighten their belts

VaselineCrew:
Always just hoping on oil.

I mean I understand that Oil is the mainstay of our economy as at now, but should it remain the same? Should we be held at the mercy of capricious oil prices forever?

It is not the mainstay of our econom
It is only mainstay of politicians and civil servants.

I'm sure Labor in Nigeria is cheaper than China, so how come Global Corporations haven't moved operations to Nigeria? Does our illiteracy rate have something to do with this?

Perfect stop you from building one or two

There are so many other things Nigeria has to offer to be able to generate income rivaling that of Oil sales, but it seems once money is coming in from somewhere (oil in this case), we just get complacent and never bother exploring and exploiting other forms of income.

nothing stops you from exploiting and exploring

Shelumiel:
A foolish country will keep relying on crude oil for its existence. But one day na one day and that crude will be obsolete...then will see how this pathetic nation will survive

the way we survived before oil
