I have a lot of friends who are lawyers and are into internet fraud.

Once they tell people they are lawyers, everybody just assumes they must be gainfully employed and that this must be responsible for their lavish lifestyles.

Yet, here is the Branch Chairman of the NBA involved in something as vile as internet fraud.

A microcosm of the kind of society that we live in. One that is ruled by money and might without regard for any other virtue.

There are a lot of dirty lawyers the world over.

You think that those criminal defense lawyers in the States don't take dirty money? Engage in dirty business? They do.

Likewise those whose clients are engaged in large scale financial crimes.

Greed is ubiquitous.

Long term plan for a 66 year old?

Nonsense.

rentAcock:
I think its time we do away with dual citizenship. If you are a citizen of a foreign country either by birth or naturalisation you should be forced to denounce your Nigerian citizenship as it is technically unfathomable to have the best interest of two countries at heart.

Nigeria is slowly but surely progressing and one day, it will undergo the same scale of economic growth and prosperity that China has enjoyed over the last 30 years. All those who ran away and abandoned Nigeria for greener pastures abroad, will be the same ones begging to return for better opportunities.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Look at all the idiots who have collectively destroyed Nigeria - which of them had dual citizenship?

Does Buhari? Did Abacha? OBJ? Babangida?

Joromi12:
u wil.never get that passport

But I got mine.

What are you talking about?

Joromi12:
official price then was 18k. but na 30k dem do am. so ogas chopped 12k each on 1m, subhanallah

Why did you give those idiots 30k?

You can pay the official rate at your bank, take the receipt to the passport office and avoid all their nonsense.

jlinkd78:
Pressure to what exactly

Pressure to fill his cabinet with people from Daura.

oonix:
say what? definitely not in my part of abuja

In certain parts of town, such as Apo/Dutse, they are terrible.

Mk12:
me I am already managing glo and 9mobile when I need fast network. I don't want to use any foreigners network again

9mobile ate good. Glo phone calls are good.

Glo has always been horrible for me when it comes to internet speeds. Where are you where you get to enjoy fast glo?

Zombiekiller010:
Airtel ti take over

Airtel are useless in Abuja.

You're better off with 9mobile.

RAWLINGS, FORMER GHANAIAN PRESIDENT ADVISES NIGERIANS!

JJ Rawlins: I can't believe that despite the setback of Nigeria as a result of a failed British experiment on that country, Nigeria is still very much in Love with them.

Nigeria has everything it needs to be the greatest country not just in Africa but in the world the British knew about it.

There are two things that can salvage Nigeria:

the first is Nigeria must peacefully retire these old colonial leaders who are still servants to western imperialism,

the second is Nigeria must restructure their country back to the days when it was regional system of government.

Let every region develop at its own pace, build its resources and people.

With this that country called Nigeria will be the greatest hub for the people of color in the world.

~JJ. Rawlins
Former Ghanaian President.

Link or video of speech?

jumobi1:
Or Flint Michigan. With that said, I stand behind my statement. The US takes governance seriously.

If by 'governance' you mean ensuring that vested interests aren't disturbed, then I agree.

jumobi1:
Lol New York City roads aren’t great. The de-icing salt used after it snows doesn’t help. But flooding isn’t a real issue here. US governments take governance serious.

They don't. People in Oakland have taken to filling in potholes by themselves.

And nobody has forgotten about Hurricane Katrina

Why is the 'African Achievers' award being given in London?

What is wrong with Nairobi or Addis Ababa, Kigali, Lagos or Accra?

Tolexander:
Na wetin e go do for Kyrgyzstan?

Kyrgyzstan of all places?

Nigerians can travel to hustle o.

It is high time we let our people know that though Nigeria is not so good, but the situation is better than the situation in many countries

Also tell them to use all that energy that they waste on rushing abroad to hold their own useless leaders to account and improve their own village/ town/city/state and country.

edeXede:


Will this have any positive economic impact in Nigeria?

Easier transactions within ECOWAS.

KingAzubuike:
How I wish everybody in this Godforsaken country can just sleep one day and not wake up in the morning..

A country where its okay for a man to be molested as a female but a serious offence for a woman to be molested by a man.

A country where a random woman can walk up to you and grab your dick with everyone cheering on and if you dare complain dem go insult you say you no be man but if its the other way round where a man walks up to a random woman and grabs her by the breast , they won't hesitate to hang tire around your neck and start looking for petrol.

A country where its okay to strip male thieves naked but not okay to strip female thieves naked.

A country where you dare not lay a finger on a woman but if a woman lays a finger on you , you'll be insulted say you no be man, a weakling and a coward.

Dude, that's everywhere. Those stupid double standards are universal.

Conferences set up in Canada to discuss men's issues have been shut down by violent women who hide behind the 'feminist' tag to abuse men.

When people ask why men are more likely to die at the work place, everyone pretends not to hear the question. Same for why male suicide rates the world over are so much higher. Or even asking why male life expectancy is so much lower than women's, the world over. It isn't just Nigeria and Nigerians, the worst offenders are those countries that pretend to be pioneers in gender equality. Many north American cities have a homeless problem. The majority of these homeless people are men. Do you think there is a serious drive to ensure that these men are provided with suitable housing? Do you think the authorities would be so lackadaisical if there were thousands of mainly homeless women huddled together on the street?

You mentioned treatment of thieves - did you know in Australia that when the judicial system finally began to treat women in the same manner as men and give women custodial sentences at a rate closer to the rate endured by men that people protested...Australians complained about getting rid of gender judicial bias. Probably the same people who cry about gender inequality.

What a world.

Hadampson:
Can you build peace

Can you build people that value human lives?

Can you build a good road

Can you build a future for your family

Yes, they all take effort and hard work. Nowhere with more than 10 people is naturally peaceful, you have to incentivize good behavior.

shevchenko:
I noticed that too
Nigeria women must be really suffering

That isn't my interpretation of the data. Nigeria's female suicide rate isn't that high when compared to a lot of places.

magicminister:
The UK colonized half the world but now they don’t want people in their country?
Africans were jejely on their own till the UK, France and America, Dutch, Italy and many more came over and decided to plant a tree.
Now the tree has grown but they don’t want it’s fruit... Lai lai... we no gree!!! We must enter obodo oyibo

Why must you enter obodo oyibo? What is there that cannot be built where you are?

I know a girl who plays the cello in Abuja who is making very good money, much more than those working 9-5 for the various ministries.

If this girl is talented then she will be fine. Nigerian music is booming right now.

Standard007:
Male rate is higher in all the countries, we men are suffering alot

Nigeria's is only a little bit higher, as opposed to double or triple the women's rate in most countries.

Men are expected to carry the burden of a lot of life's nonsense. I wonder why in the midst of the all the talk of sexism and gender inequality there has been no real interest in uncovering why male suicide rates are so much higher and how to bring them down to the same rate as women's...

Male rates in most countries are much higher than females. Nigeria has gender parity .

Wasted energy.

Nigeria is full of religious bigots with misplaced priorities.

Imagine thinking that fairy-tales will save you...

Timmypromise:
Ordinary Colombia
You can finish
Na Qatar you dey use strength for ordinary Japan finish Uruguay

Colombia are a very good team, nothing 'ordinary' about them.

NwaNimo1:
Nigeria is not ready for uber.

They've been operating in Nigeria for years.

There are have been several such cases all over the world - crimes committed against drivers and by drivers. Should we scrap all such services everywhere?

2cato:
Gej wherever you dey i no go call you mumu but you Bleep up big time

How did he bleep up?

Yankiss:
That is the bane of African man. Dishonesty. Everyone wants to cheat everyone. This is the reason why single Africans would excel in various countries but fit woefully as a national team. Lack of motivation. They feel bad seeing their money squandered by the wrong sources.

Soccer is rife with corruption. It has nothing to do with 'Africans'.

How do you think Qatar came to win the bidding for the next World Cup?

It's a disgrace but those are not 'major streets'.

It is however an example as to how useless this governor has been. He likes the camera too much.

FIFA is corrupt. How are they going brand anybody else as such?

KingSango:
Crime causes poverty in most cases people leave Nigeria yet never leave poverty

End poverty in Nigeria first then travel

No blame church or any one

But this woman is from Ghana.

And poverty causes crime, not the reverse.

EVILFOREST:
ASHAWO goes to CHURCH

Church is where they learn ashawo.

Alexis11:
Lol... Give a dog a bad name so that you can kill it easily.

what is the proof that it is Nigerians that are committing those crimes

She doesn't mention that the reason why some Nigerians are able to commit crimes in Ghana is because of how corrupt the Ghana Police Force is.

The reason why so many Yahoo boys have run away from Nigeria over the past few years is because of the pressure from the police. And where did they go to? Ghana.
