Nigeria we hail thee.
Only God knows how we'll get out of this mess.
In these kinds of government projects when it comes to safety and security, you are on your own.

marvinsync:
now first of all and very important , u don't know me to assume I'm gonna oppress people!
all I am is tired of sitting and watching things happen , being powerless to what's happening in the country and I have decided that I will do what I can about it


this is Nigeria not the west? lol ur one of those people , u compare Nigeria to the west when u feel like and when things u don't like come up u remember that this is Nigeria not the west


oh I do accept that we can't evolve with all those issues I just choose to be part of the solution


u just emphasized my point they had people who were willing to change things are u and the op willing to change things? no ur just running away


I said j could travel to the US or UK anytime I feel like I never said I won't and trust me I intend to visit Calabar and again I'm not in support of what happening in the country , I don't know why u keep telling me the country's problem like I was in support or ok with them


let's agree to disagree on this for now



now OP I'm gonna be clear on my point
A COUNTRY DOESN'T FIX ITSELF!
the same way there are people ruining this country is the same way people would be required to fix it or do u expect Nigeria to become like the west by itself?
look at china , India, Ghana , Rwanda etc they are building themselves despite all the issues they were plagued with , at some point in time all of these countries were shit-holes but look at them now .

now gforce5 it's okay if u don't care about the country and want to run away "after all the country has not helped u so why should u help it?" right? it's alright not everyone can be helpful but don't dare try n make me and people like me that choose to stay and invest , grow , improve the GDP , reduce unemployment rate and poverty , people that still believe there are things here that they can do to improve themselves and the lives of other Nigerians , people that wanna be part of the solution , patriots , nation builders, don't try and make us seem like fools ok

all these might seem like story and grammar to u , no problem ,go abroad , but let's just respect ourselves

Very strong points bro (though I may not agree with all you said).
It actually takes a lot of courage to want to remain here in the face all the challenges, especially if you have the opportunity to escape.
The "weak" can't just withstand it.
It takes a lot of courage.

PAQ:
My Sony Xperia z5 compact retired yesterday after 3yrs of active service. Decided to give Xiaomi a try as i have been impressed by their phones and affordability. I chose to go for the Mi Max2, would have preferred something more recent but i must confess, these phones are hard to come by if you dont live in Lagos and i dont have the patience to order.

So far so good, i am loving it. But this phone is huge, after 24hrs of use, i tried looking at my xperia z5c. I just couldnt comprehend how i managed to stare at such a small screen for 3yrs!! Did i mention the battery on this beast; 5300mah, bigger than batteries on some tablets. I already updated to Miui 10, next is unlocking bootloader and rooting. I dont mind some tips on custom roms although i am on Global rom and loving it so far.

I have joined the Xiaomi family.

Ehen, welcome my dear.
Food is ready. Oya this way please:

Happy new month guys...... Plz I really need help here... Just got a fairly use redmi 5plus fone. BUT d sim network is not stable...... ITS a china version.... Really need a solve.. Thanks

Trying different networks SIMs will help reveal if it's poor reception of the particular network in your location.
Also try changing your location.

deenee:
I don't need to prove anything to you.

What kind of investors do you want to bring in?

Well people are making money and legit money from both the debt and capital markets.

3 year govt bonds can fetch the poster close to 1.2m per year in guaranteed yields on his 6m and capital is safe. All he needs to do is invest and go to sleep and he will be paid twice a year his tax free coupon.

Tbills slightly lower but at least 900k in yields for 365 day tbills guaranteed

Continue to see doom and gloom everywhere.

Wakefern Food Corp the company that manages the shoprite franchise plans to open 50 more outlets in Nigeria in three years. Over 70% of shoprite top line revenue comes from Nigeria alone!

We have Chinese, Lebanese, Indians and recently Israelis coming to open factories here and tbey are making billions .

Continue to see doom and gloom everywhere you hear?

But the foreign investors seem to enjoy some kind of advantages/edge over us, and many who are abroad even on this thread also attest to meeting success upon travelling out.
*Just saying*

Come self, all of una wey want run commot for naija, who then will stay behind build our country and make the change we all desire happen?

Michaeljnr225:
Used to be a very big fan of infinix phones till I saw a xiaomi phone being used up close. It must have done something to me because I can't stop thinking about acquiring one. Can anyone suggest a quality xiaomi phone I can get just under or around 40k?

You finally decided to answer the alter call

LagosismyHome:
This better be fake news ...........

I am not a fan of Atiku or Buhari but this election was NOT A FREE AND FAIR Election .

Quite objective.
Our people are too blind to seek true freedom.
Throwing unwavering support behind these kinds is more like an endorsement of the suffering and hopelessness they bring. And people like to pretend this selection was an election? Our leaders don't bother even what majority think about their callousness because it doesn't count after all.

We should speak against this evil called Okorocha.

Lamentation of Wailers.

Well said jare.

I blame the OP for bringing his problems to a faceless forum such as this where any tom, dick and harry can just talk rubbish.

Most of these ignorant people advising the OP to invest his money in this country are ignoramuses who think that everything is about making money.

What is the point to be making money and live in a lawless jungle where life is cheap?

What is the point to be making money in a country where development is stagnant?

In this day and age people are still bragging about using generators while the world is moving to solar power?

What is the point of making money where you are stuck in traffic for half the day just to get home from work?

Everyday you are dealing with drivers who aren't mentally stable and endanger their fellow road users.

The "posh estates" such as Lekki and many GRAs are nothing but overpriced ghettos which lack basic drainage systems, water and electricity.

The "I must make it" syndrome is the reason why Nigeria will never evolve as most Nigerians accept mediocrity and do not understand what a functional society looks like.

You really hurt me by the bitter truth in the bolded.
Truely truth hurts.

dejol88:
Sequel to the just concluded elections , I have decided to get out of this country forever. To be sincere i have raised 6 million naira in cash but dont want to invest it here due to unfavorable climate .

Kindly list out 1st world country i can relocate to and the steps to take to achieve it.

Your kind input would forever be appreciated

Omo, this is kinda scary o.
Is this a joke or what or did you have a dream?
Apply caution so you make a well thought out decision.
Wishing you very best.

Lamentation of wailers.

Name calling is petty don't you think?
And you are completely missing the point.

DaveHert:
Why won't a student of international relations know about the political happenings in his/her country or the economy of his/her country? You hype yourself for nothing.

Not necessarily so. Don't be surprised, there are lots of people who studied the same, but won't be as informed.
It happens.

Nice one. But your username is not good for a good marketer like you. "Lazyreporta", more like Lazy Nigerian Youth.

Election Comedy Update

- Atiku lost in his PU, but won in Aso Rock PU.

- Buhari lost in Aso Rock PU but won in his Daura PU.

From these results it appears to me Atiku is seriously needed in Aso Rock, while PMB is seriously needed in Daura.

What do you think?���

All this fake election results being thrown around. If only these "winners" will work for the masses, why should any sane mind bother. Mediocrity to us is excellence.

@Gptech @noobody Please If An Item From Aliexpress IS Saying "Delivery Failed" At The Track Site What Does It Mean?? Also What's The Best And Secure Tracking Site??

Meaning: Post Office people tried delivering to you, but you were not available to receive it. Go to your post office, it should be there waiting to be picked up.
17track is good.

GrandMufti:
60days. Remaining 12 days

Guy you "week head" o!!!

But that is how bad it can be though.

capitalzero:
if you are popular among your people, you cannot be rigged out.

Somehow true, but not always true.
If powers that be really want it, you know they can force.

capitalzero:
Atiku he lost. His people do not like him and you want to make him president. Southerners try for atiku . He could not even get 30% in nw/ne.

Don't forget that what the electoral body choose to announce may have been altered in favour of the incumbent (even if Atiku was Buhari he might do the same with INEC). That is the point. If the true results were used that percentage you quoted may have been something else entirely.

id911:
The will of the majority of Nigerians have been subverted by APC INEC and Security Agencies. It's obvious results were doctored with utmost impunity at different Collation Centres across the country to favor the outgoing President.

Buhari will not do second term because he has lost the election. Quote me anywhere

We watch to see how that happens.
Obviously, election rigging is like the norm in Nigeria.

Griezwoman:
The Senator who represents the Kogi West Senatorial district took to his social media handle to appreciate God after his reelection victory

Dino Melaye polled 85, 395 votes to defeat Sen. Smart Adeyemi who scored 66, 901 votes.

Watch the video HERE

Chorister in truth.
At least we can still be seeing him around and enjoying his dramas and singing skills.

Yemisi87:
I laughed on Monday morning when some people were praising INEC for great job done. The main sensitive area is not casting of the vote, it is the collation of the result. That's where the rigging takes place. I don't blame INEC 100% the issue here is the loyalty of our security agents in protecting the INEC officials when need be.

True. There are many stages, and points where things can be tampered with. The unfortunate thing is even after the election, the "winners" will still choose not to work for the benefit of the common man. Their selfish interest is all that really matters to them.

cutesmilez:
How did we get here as a country?

Exactly the question to ask.
And there'snt even any sign that things will get better.

koyyes:
Why not find other ways of dealing with him.

Any small thing, they will strip naked.

I am very certain even God hates Nigerians with a passion and that's why nothing works here.

Tell me how a set of people who love unclothedness more than anything will be complaining about indecent dressing up and down.

Bunch of animalistic hypocrites.

At least it's still better than killing him, which in some scenarios might be the punishment the people will summarily met out out on him. Think of a community that is being terrorised constantly by robbers. You might just see a different story entirely.

Soldiers shooting sporadically were sent to the East and SS areas to scare and arrest voters. What an amazing election.

Alas, the Okorochas of the east had their .ways.

They vindicated those who called for election boycott.

Sad if true. There's no justice, it's just us.

pryme:
Just the spelling

It is well with you my dear.

enochogaga:
Any other products apart from thermacool

Kudos for the nice work you are doing here. May your days be long.

Funny these 3 clowns have long been close since way back.

Jetrue3oo:
Only a bad Father will praise his bad children when they returned from robbery and that Father today is Buhari who was once holy but now is corrupt.

What can we do?
Either way, Buhari, Atiku, aren't we screwed?
