Lexusgs430:
Politics in Nigeria is a fallacy

then why do we have elections
and why do they campaign
and why do they share rice

....... I do not believe

who your belief epp?

we practice true democracy in all its forms.

define democracy
govt of the majority that voted
does that crowd not look happy to you?

The highest bidder bribes Judges and INEC, and the dice is cast ....

so? same thing happens abroad, it's called fat salaries and patronage (google pork barrel politics)
nothing new under the sun.
we think oyinbo democracy is a silver bullet without doing our part.
no my friend, as long as good men do nothing, bad men will rule unopposed

Lexusgs430:
Something anything positive. Is it too much to ask for ? Not stomach infrastructure regimes.....

only competition will force/motivate them to do the right thing. it will never come willingly. why should he stress himself when he can just distribute 10% or less as stomach infrastructure. it's just human psychology. he doesn't need a good economy or country he can afford work-arounds

funmisticqueen:
Ekiti is a hilly area, not really best for farming and their soil is iodine deficient, hence there is high incidence of goitre in the land. But i see your point though, they could go into mining of limestone

fish farming, poultry goat and grasscutter farming, mining and industrial parks nko. dip babe you no wan give me your number

Lexusgs430:
Its not all about farming. The state government should find a niche and develop that niche, which would in turn empower the state and indeed the nation in general............

like industrial parks or world class cancer or kidney hospital

Lexusgs430:
Hence we are in this present situation...... Our political class have enslaved us with poverty.......

are you enslaved.? are you not middle class.? why don't you join the political class and change things instead of lamenting online? join a party and work your way up from there. all this speaking grammar (I used to do it for 20 yrs) will not change the situation. only focused critical action will

While many youths cannot even dream of wedding because her vision-less father turned the prosperity handed over to him into recession within two years.
Promises of JOBS have been changed to taxes on beggars.
Buhari is not just bad luck, he is a curse on our land.
What did we do to deserve this?

you refused to participate in the electoral process

Lexusgs430:
So Nigerians should continue with stomach infrastructure ? What ever happened to teaching how to catch the fish ? Do you rely on handouts ?

that one you're saying is theory. I attend political meetings with our hungry lazy youth. they want money and rice sharing

Axelrod:
Okay, so I saw a post on Facebook bashing the APC Chieftain and accusing him of swindling Lagos State. So I decided to create this thread, listing some investments that have been linked to Bola Tinubu.

P.S: there is no confirmed source about whether Tinubu owns these businesses. But I'm sure you must have heard people linking him with these investments.

If you have a way of confirming any on the list, please do.

Now let's roll.

1. Oriental Hotel

2. Falomo Shopping Complex

3. First Nation Airline

4. Lekki Concession Company

5. Apapa Amusement Park

6. Maiyegun Land Project

7. The Nation Newspaper

8. Renaissance Hotel

9. Tejuoso Market (Joint ownership)

10. Ikeja Shopping Mall

11. TV Continental

12. Radio Continental

13 Add yours.

wish he'd invest in palm oil plantation or industrial park

hoygift:
All u people know is investing money in the one you think that will benefit you people not knowing that they are some other places to invest money ... For example the U.S government invest money on their internet marketing like websites and other things and it pays them well in return ... Take a look at Nigeria internet fraudster (yahoo boys) not promoting them just for example do u know that dey are among the first 3 contributors to nigeria Economy Cus dey bring in dollar into the country this is to tell u how the internet can help improve our economy the most not just only forex invest in some other aspects too.... I rest my case those in support say hi ... Not in support go home the internet is not for u

can you eat or drive or shelter under internet. what are you marketing. abeg Mowu hia word

Lexusgs430:
Why always distribute food ? Why not empower them to produce more food and the nation can be feed ?

so in your mind you believe that Nigerians want empowerment.? I see you're a learner in human psychology

jjjjj2017:
this man na real clown

I'm not a fan of this stomach infrastructure nonsense although his people are not complaining but to me even if you give each family a bag of rice each, it can't solve their problem.

that clown is winning elections. who your vituperation epp

GenBuhari:
Are we not still farming with cutlass and hoe even today, so how has the white man helped us? Did we not have our own doctors and lawyers before arrival of the genocidal white devils?

which doctors I hope it's not witch doctors you're referring too. abi the ones that were killing twins. please argue not just for the sake of argument. how many lawyers or engineers did you have before colonisation

deebsman1:
I kuku concurs with you, sad

the issue now is who will cell the cat. it's doable but who gives a damn about Nigeria to stress themselves. cos all these Pat utomi only after their comfort.imagine buhari doesn't want to die or step on toes and fashola is dilly dallying for 2 years no light no road. is it ffk that will now do it.no be small work our elders de deposit for us o

deebsman1:
The masses, when they get massively educated and enlightened,

Rossikki:
Construction of Kainji Dam began in 1964, on the orders of Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, and was completed in 1968

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kainji_Dam


What ''coal plants'' are you referring to?

Have a name?

really, did not know that. but what were we using before then. also without them you would probably still be farming with hoe and cutlass. no doctors no lawyers

The post containing the pictures below is currently getting a lot of likes and retweet on Twiiter. The guy in the pictures says he bought his dream car, a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon at age 24.

Awesome!

walemoney007:
that op mumu die,nah the British put abacha,buhari,gej and their likes as president of Nigeria

May sense fall on them

Rossiki is a well known troll. don't mind him. he just wan wine ppl

holocron:
Sorry, but your comments are childish. If you must mention then respond with well reasoned points, ok?

you that you're non childish. who you epp.
how many development you Don develop.
wake up and smell the coffee.
no be by queens English which incidentally I probably. speak better than you.

Rossikki:
If you are a graduate and have nowhere to work, CREATE your own work. That is why you went to university. To develop analytical thinking.

Would you rather be an illiterate?

Look my friend, if you can read and write, and type on nairaland, you can create a job for yourself in today's world.

look Mr man
graduates are not trained to think
they are trained to work for others. get your facts right

holocron:
OP has valid points.

no he doesn't

The British were better rulers - True, and there rule was mainly to their own advantage and impoverished the masses.

before nko
are you developing your neighbours chudren?

There was regular electricity, public water works, good road network; but only in narrow enclaves centered around centers of colonial commerce and government. Millions were deprived of this goodies without any plan to provide them.

why provide what you can't sustain
at least they wouldn't miss it

Not to be forgotten, colonial administration was military dictatorship. It was a military government. That was why it was not so strange for the military to re-take power in 1966, just 6 years from independence.

Whatever be the case, there's no point harping on the past. Colonialism is over and its never coming back.

chai you go fear naivete

The whites of these days are not even as tough and disciplined as their forefathers and cannot run an empire,

hahahahahaha learner

what with their decadency and demographic crisis. They are mainly living from the excellent foundations and industrial society built by their forefathers. The chinese and other Asians are taking over. The African is free and a master of his destiny. Lets tàke our future in our own hands.

you too funny
whites still rule via bank loans Bros
Asians are trying to learn the game trying to do it with sentiment
the African is not ready
this thread is proof

Rossikki:
The British invested in developing Singapore. They did the opposite in Nigeria. Additionally, the 4 or 5 Asian tiger nations were given by the west, unprecedented technology transfer, capital and western market access after WW2, which turned them into economic powerhouses. The west did this after WW2 to create capitalist strongholds in the Pacific as a way of checkmating Soviet communism in the region. The Soviets had just defeated the nazis and were looking to expand their global reach to Asia and beyond. That was when the west decided to create the so called Asian tiger economies we know today.

Singapore welcomed them o. nobody will invest with this your caveman Mugabe attitude

Rossikki:
Can you name me one power plant they built in this giant great black nation? The school you attended...Who built it?

who built kainji or the coal plants before that. abeg stop embarrassing yourself

Rossikki:
Those are things that can be turned around, and in many cases are. Today we have places like Abakiliki and Awka with flyovers, shopping malls etc. Uyo, Asaba etc all getting built up with good infrastructure. What were those places like under colonial rule? They were lucky to have even cleared footpaths.

so white elephant project is your own yard stick. SMH for Nigeria education system since oyinbo left

Suprnov3r:
Apparently under APC minister of Finance are file pushers? ... The level of zombie-ism is epic. So who is supposed to formulate policies,The cabal or citizens?

All over the world, finance ministers and central banks hold sway in managing the economies of the country. This fact has eluded you because you rigged a clueless incompetent quota system government into power abi...

Oga park well and sit down

name 1 country where minister of finance makes policy.
cbn governor is Jonathan appointee only interested in making dollar artificially scarce.

adeosun is practicing accountan
what is puff puff head, admin staff That Won't recognise demand or supply if it beach slapped her

Warship:
With massive unemployment and infrastructural decay

whose fault
is it not half baked individuals like you that put us in this mess

Rossikki:
How many people benefited from the so called white quality education? Were your grandparents educated? Mine weren't, and I'm sure I speak for 95% of folks here. How many engineering or technical schools did they establish? Zero? Fact is only a very tiny handful of people - just enough to keep the colonial administration running - were educated. And that was to secondary level since they built no universities. You call THAT better than the current situation? You are clearly suffering from deepest colonial mentality.

so you believe in producing graduates with nowhere to work abi. no wonder Nigeria is the way it' is with ppl like you in charge. with your fake half education

Suprnov3r:
There was never any doubt that the next woman to be appointed Minister of Finance after Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala would have to fill some big shoes.
More impressive than Okonjo-Iweala’s resume, was her performance as Minister of Finance, to the extent that some of her policies have been appropriated by the Buhari administration as part of their own achievements.

Well no matter; what is more urgent is why Adeosun after two years in her exalted position is still unable to craft sound economic policies or worse, refrain from ridiculous statements that portray her as a Ministerial intern rather than a Minister of Finance.

Or how else can one explain her latest announcement at the PWC’s Business School last week that the Federal Government had decided to tax some beggars whom according to her were earning millions? (dailypost.ng).

How they plan to determine the ‘rich beggars’ from the ‘poor beggars’ is beyond me but what is truly amazing is that a graduate of the University of East London, who knows very well what the welfare system is all about in developed economies, can make such pronouncements.

Nigeria is presently the only country showing up on Google’s search engine as a country where beggars will be taxed


.....

what did puff puff head craft.
where in the world does finance minister craft policy.
they account for money not pretend to be economists when they are barely file pushers

deebsman1:
In Kwara, the house was built for Bukola Saraki and dude resold it to the state govt for * 2

Best thing for the country, is restructuring, back to the old provincial way, and laws in each province that any present or former political office holder should not and must never hold political office again in the country and good people of Nigeria should seriously be on the look out for good governance.

who is this 'country ' that will change the rules
stop dreaming

Paperwhite:
