All these useless old men, crying about what they failed to do and then blaming people who were born at the backend of the last century.

All that money that Nigerians waste on tithes and other such nonsense could/should go towards research and problem solving.

Religion does not solve problems.

buhariguy:
and the minister of trade is who and from where.?
The way the lazy idiotic pigs of Biafra reason .
If you are allow to rule, you will be worst than your ineffectual buffoon

Where is 'Biafra'? Who is from Biafra?

Why can't you argue the point without resorting to presumptive statements about people you don't know?

And nobody wants to 'rule', Nigeria is not a monarchy. What is needed is a proper federation where useless cretins such as Buhari, Abacha et al. cannot handicap the entire nation with their simple mindedness.

DamZik:
The worst part of the interview is that Buhari was being asked question on free trade. It has nothing to do with the "laziness of any youth"

What would a man such as Buhari know about 'free trade'?

Free trade entails competition - not tariffs and protectionism. How would someone who has benefited from 'Federal character' and ethno-religious bigotry understand the importance of competition?

adudu208:
The most painful part of this whole careless speech by Mr President is that he comes from a generation that have failed the youth. These same people enjoyed free education, cheap and affordable health care, working industries, numerous job opportunities, security of life and properties and were on scholarship to study both locally and internationally.

Mr President and his fellow geriatric brigades are solely responsible for the rot in the educational, health and economic sector of this country. They have stolen our nation's wealth and sold off our greatest assets for personal gain.

It is unfortunate that a man who has ruled the nation twice has no shame spewing such thrash.

The only lazy man who is waiting for oil revenue to squander is the man who has presided over a nation ones and his currently at the helm of affairs, yet he finds it comfortable sending his kids abroad to study and he is also quick to check himself into a foreign hospital for medical attention.

Everything you've said is true but you've missed one simple point - who had this children that Buhari is now crying about? Who raised them? Was it not the idiots from Buhari's useless generation?

The same ones who suffered in silence during the military era in which everything regressed?

If he and his generation had any sense of decency they would first apologize for the mess that they have made and then remove themselves from the levers of power, in all domains.

PaChukwudi44:
are you just hearing this for the first time? The first time I did I cringed at the gravity of man's inhumanity to his fellow man!!! That is absolute wickedness of the highest order

I don't deal with churches.

I didn't realize it was the whole thing, I thought "first fruit" was just a slightly larger amount than normal.

That's so tragic it's hilarious.

It's amazing how stupid people can be.

Hallabee1:
Churches Going Beyond Tithe Now, Even Asking For The First Fruit( January Salary)

The whole thing?

And people pay?

Lol.

Why do they say it with such pride?

Does it not suggest that the methods of assessment are faulty?

How is this something to advertise?

AprilSmallWoman:
How did we get to this point? we've become a subject of discussion and ridicule to the outside world. it hurts to see this.
Go get your PVC ready people..help save the generations yet to come.

Voting is one thing but choosing to follow fraudsters has nothing to do with voting - it's a direct result of how Nigerians raise their children to behave slavishly. Until that changes this will continue to be the norm and the rest of the world will be able to see and ridicule.

leye4u:
One of the things my English teacher taught me while growing was "AS POOR AS A CHURCH RAT" and everyone was happy about it.
Now the Church has come to maturity and poverty can no longer be used to describe the church, the prosperity seen so far is just a tip of the iceberg, a time is coming when the churches who be far richer than the governments of the world.
Tithing is not a Nigerian thing ,it is a connection to a higher covenant.
No devil,media or freezer can ever stop me and my generation from tithing.... We would tithe all that we have because God gave us all in the first place.

Catholic Church is already wealthier than most governments. So wealthy that they have their own country, yet they still claim to advocate for the poor. Meanwhile the policies that they push and those that they kick against (such as birth control) suggest otherwise.

AdaIhiala:
The direct beneficiaries are the Pastors and their families. This tithing ish has taken over the Church thereby relegating the rest of the gospel to the back. Christians seek the truth and the truth shall set you free.

If xtians sought truth they wouldn't be xtians.

Truth can be verified by way of evidence. Xtianity has none.

It doesn't matter how many times you tell them, the sheep would rather be led to slaughter than be free.

Of course it is illegal, how else will off-duty policemen be able to get away with their crimes if you can defend yourself?

Paperwhite:
Then Nigeria is in need of the Fl.Lt.Jerry Rawlings' treatment.

Yes it is.

Should have happened at the end of the military era but it's never too late to get rid of the likes of Obasanjo and Buhari. They might be old men but a precedent needs to be set.

Let them all become fertilizer.

suremanpatriot:
...these ppl should jst retire to serve their God till they are called to glory. They hav done their time,let the youths bring fresh ideas to dev a better Nigeria for all.

Don't expect them to go quietly.

You have to force them to leave.

In the meantime the collective cowardice of Nigerians will lead to more suffering.

awa:
Okay, that is a good move provide they will provide us a popular sound viable alternative to the incumbent....

Why are you waiting for these old goats to provide you with anything good?

Did Obasanjo not give co-sign Buhari?

Was Obasanjo himself a resounding success?

If you would rather go to jail it is because your judgment is woeful.

Some people are too quick to jump into relationships.

It's not so much that they are the "poorest" but that they are the most inequitable and unstable.

The people hide behind religion and then commit the worst atrocities against their neighbor and environment.

It's a sign that religion and mental illness are closely linked - xtians often claim that "only a fool claims there is no god" when the reality is that only a damaged person self-harms and that is what many of these religious people do to their environment, their children and their neighbors and their countries at large.

mapet:
Bros,

What is more important is that it will work, be effective and serve the pertinent needs of the people. "Victoria" works shey? and still very effective, no be so?

I'm sure that Victoria has issues that other, more modern hubs do not have.

Besides that, Lagos and London are very different places with different needs.

Drawing inspiration from cities in northern Europe when you are in the tropics has always struck me as odd.

This is good but why is it being patterned after Victoria in London when that terminus was built in the 19th century?

Why not take ideas from more modern structures and cities?

Edu3Again:
It's the money from the South that was used here.

Apart from Boko Haram, Fulani Herdmen, violence and murder, what does the North offer Nigeria?

You forgot child begging, child marriage and rampant overbreeding.

Silverstars:
Have you heard this man speak. He was the most eloquent man to come out of this country.

If this man was our president today, trust me, you would be proud.

When he spoke, western leaders listened with rapt attention.

Just go to YouTube and see one of his videos.

Is that what you're concerned with? How he spoke - how about what he did? How 'western leaders' listened?

How about what he did to develop the country? Especially the north?

How do xtians reconcile "honor your father and your mother" with stories such as this which show parents engaging in acts of pure evil against their own children?

allanphash7:
Is it your mouth?

Maybe someone tried to use his mouth hence why he is so against it.

That's usually why a lot of these people are so virulently homophobic.

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
Do men care? Some will toast a breastfeeding mother...

No lies told.

A lot of Nigerian men are shameless.

They will toast you in church with your husband and children next to you.

OP's list is outdated. Don't you know that they have POS in church.

Market traders don't take cards but the church does. Let that sink in.

ZarahBuhari:
Nigerian Government is still constructing roads in urban cities and not even in rural areas in the 21st century.

Fact!!!

State governments are constructing roads in rural areas. The better ones are.

midolian:
Okocha, the most patriotic Nigerian footballer ever!

Decades of intercontinental football didnt change his accent.

Here is one small boy who has not spent up to a decade playing real football outside Nigeria claiming he doesnt know the Nigerian anthem well.

Iwobi spent his formative/childhood years outside of Nigeria. Okocha left Nigeria in his late teens.

Why would he remember a song that he didn't need to know until relatively recently?

Martinola:
These old idiots nd their destructive mindsets

I'm glad that Nigerians are awakening to the reality of how thoroughly useless their elders are.

I just wish they had realized before a number of them voted for Buhari.

trapQ:
Useless old idiots. Is Nigerian politics different from the kne they play in America? Nonsense!

American politics is scarcely any better and not a good example for anyone to follow.

The road is/was a national embarrassment but so is the airport itself and the electricity situation.

nnokwa042:
return all the oil wells giving to you by babangida from a tailor to oil well where that one dey happen madam return it

A good ashawo knows how to negotiate.
