You people just talk at of reasoning. American has interest here with their companies and Tinubu can strangulate them in favour of American arch rivals. You people said same thing under Buhari, did Trump did anyhow. Do you know what American makes in Nigeria through their companies.

American interests in Africa as a whole are pretty marginal in the grand scheme of things. It's why they don't care when you people make a mess out of the providing the most basic services. It does not affect them in the same way that socio-political disruption in Asia, Europe or the GCC does.

In this one mind, life is all about hustling to travel abroad. What a slave mentality.

Let them go and slave. That is what their dreams are made of.

Usefulsense:
If you've not read my story, go read it.

Take away from my story is don't allow people to talk you away from your plan.

If I had listened to those who told me not to send my wife abroad, I wouldn't have been where I am today.

What I have achieved and saved this one year wouldn't have been possible in 5 years in Nigeria.

What you spend in one month in Oz you wont spend in 6 months in Nigeria.

If you're going to tell a story tell the whole story.

IGBOPROMISE1:
Oh, so you’re even agreeing it was possible for Akwa-Ibom to use the power plant to generate power for its own use!? In one breath you say this, yet in another breath you talk about ‘law being the law’! Dude, forget this kite you’re trying to fly! We all know how ‘laws’ work in Nigeria for entrenched interests to pick and choose which to adhere to and which to ignore! The same ‘laws’ made by the same entrenched interests that help further their ethnic, religious, and personal agenda!?

Forget the ethnic argument oga, it's all for personal greed.

Which ethnic group has benefited from the anarchy created in the country? Is protected from the poor infrastructure? All suffer because of it.

SmartPolician:
It's either you didn't understand what you quoted or you are just being emotional, not logical. Nobody was encouraging laziness.

Government officials are elected to uphold the law; Obasanjo did what the law stipulated. Now that the law isn't working, the new government amended the law. It's as easy as ABC

Laws are changed every day. No law is set in stone.

That's evil.

Insist on Nigerian bank cards, transfer or cash.

Religion is the art of lying.

horlando30:
Which shows how overvalued houses in lekki are. Most are built on half plot too compared to that house there sitting on close to 0.5-1 acre plot

Properties in Georgia tend to be cheap because the land is cheap. Georgia is not as densely populated as Lagos state. There's a lot less competition for land.

Also wages in Atlanta, in the American context, aren't that great. But then property taxes are also quite low.

Furthermore, those newer build homes are built with lower quality materials.

Those who did not give birth to a girl child do not know what God have done for them.
For those who gave birth to girl child, may God see you guys through.
Is not an easy road.

This is why female infanticide is such an issue in Asian nations. Nobody wants to carry the burden.

I'm glad that the internet is exposing how evil women are.

Or rather how stupid they are in exposing themselves.

Children need two parents.

torqque7:
Approach the court that you want to renovate and a tenant doesn't want to move out..or you sell it to your spouse or relative arangee pakage and do forceful eviction.

I like una style.

nifemi25:
Why not contact human right activists in your area ..... They will invite the tenant for questioning and will surely evit him.... Just that it might cost you little change

Will they be more effective and honest than the useless police?

UncleAyo:
How?

Moral values are principles or standards of behavior that guide individuals in distinguishing right from wrong and help them live in harmony with others. They are the ethical beliefs and practices that influence how people act and make decisions in their personal and social lives. These values often reflect cultural, religious, or philosophical teachings and are essential for building trust, cooperation, and mutual respect in society.

Examples of moral values include:

1. Honesty – Being truthful and transparent.

2. Integrity – Acting consistently with one's moral principles.

3. Rspect – Treating others with dignity and consideration.

4. Kindness – Showing compassion and empathy.

5. Responsibility – Being accountable for one's actions.

6. Fairness – Ensuring justice and equality in interactions.

7. Courage – Standing up for what is right, even when it's difficult.

8. Humility – Recognizing and respecting one's limitations and others' strengths.

These values help individuals contribute positively to their communities and develop a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

There is no morality in a capitalist system. Likewise fairness or kindness.

UncleAyo:
This news from the CNN will make some people to cry blood today. As they always feel sad and mad whenever they read positive news about Lagos state, Southwest and Nigeria at large.

Yorubaland will keep winning!


Apart from Lagos we have other sites that will naturally attract international pilgrimages (and tourists) throughout the year. For example, the Osun River, if several billions can be spent to modernize it and make it very attractive much more is possible...


(You may not hold any of your traditional believes but you should not throw away your heritage. So many people are already creating the replica (of for example the Oshun river) in their countries so why should we deny them the opportunity to visit Nigeria as pilgrimages.) - Life is not just about stealing money and sending your children abroad. We should create environments, systems and cultures that our future generations will bless our memories because of it.


Special sites and landmarks with no religious values should be modernise and equipped with huge amusement amenities (like the China and other countries are doing). We should be intentional about everything.


The picture below is a picture of Kaaba some years ago and also a recent picture.





NEWLY EDITED:

beyep:
Boarding bridge how plz explain

Instead of them having a bus that carries you from the airport to the plane and then having to climb steps, you never leave the airport building just walk from airport to plane via a connecting bridge. They already have/use them at the airport but I guess they don't have enough.

Those things you see with all the Zenith Bank (useless bank) branding at MMIA.

Looking4Trouble:
Greedy farmers charging excess to extort the masses. Go and eat your chickens nah

I don't think its greed, their own costs have shot up. Anything imported is now doubled in price if you're paying in naira.

franchasofficia:
Tinubu is working, people should give him 8 more years and things will turnaround

8 more years and half the population will have expired from malnutrition.

AllenSpencer:
If you lived all your life in the US, that’s the only time you will appreciate Africa

Where people own assets forever and pass on to generations. Where people own and not in debt for basics.

Don't burst their bubble, they think America and its debt-bondage system is paradise.

nairavsdollars:
Trump may have his excesses but he is a true Christian who doesn't joke with things of God. He will never support bad things like LGBT nonsense

LOL.

The man has nothing in common with the mythical Christ. What makes him a true xtian?

Everyone around him is a crook. He himself is a convicted felon.

He's no more a xtian than Bola Ahmed Tinubu or Buhari.

AntiChristian:
Na this BAT era all these refineries go work!

Na this era Nigeria go get am right!

May thunder from the Almighty strike all those who are against the betterment of Nigeria!

How much were you paid to type this nonsense?

Whatever it is it will be worth 1/10 of it's value now once BAT is done with Nigeria.

TechBaron:
Dem dey enter Ghana with Visa before ni?

I have tranversed the entire west Africa without a single stamp on my passport.

Most times, nobody asks for your passport..

That's limited to ECOWAS. Now anyone with an African passport can enjoy the same privileges.

SmartPolician:
Nothing dey Ghana. I have never seen a Nigerian who became a billionaire in Ghana.
The day America announces visa-free entry for Nigerians, trust me, we will empty our shithole into America.

In fact, agbadorians, who always claim that Escobar was the best thing that happened to them, will be the first batch of "refugees" to borrow money and fly to America!

Everything isn't about chasing money. Ghana is a beautiful, safe, peaceful country even with its economic challenges.

Maybe if you people weren't so obsessed with chasing money (while claiming to be xtians) you wouldn't have so many problems.

happiness32:
While the fg is using efcc on this man, his people love am die

The irony.

James Ibori went to prison for being a kleptocrat and yet there are still sycophants who think that he did more good than bad.

DatIgalaDude:
Please wake me up when fuel is N500/ltr.

You will sleep for 1000 years...

KingCold:
Actually in South Africa, we have much of the continent in our doorstep, it's the continent that doesn't know much about us because there's so few of us on the continent ..hence these stereotypes..

But South Africans also have a lot of silly stereotypes about those of us north of the Limpopo. You aren't the only ones but it isn't helpful.

Africans do not know each other and that is a big part of the continent's problem.

Africans need to travel more.

AllenSpencer:
So a lion preys on a goat because it hungry and needs to feed not because it’s angry, and even though he is provoked,

Those set of dogs don’t prey on humans, they are provoked and go for the kill., without feeding on the corpse.

Those dogs don’t get hungry and start hunting for humans to prey on. They get provoked and kill humans.

Hope you now know the difference between prey and kill.

Did you read and understand the definition that you posted?

It says "caught and killed" not "caught and released".

AllenSpencer:
Prey or territorial instinct is different from kill instinct.

When some breed of dogs lose it, they want to end it. Several experts have always emphasized on ways to bond and set clear lines between themselves and these selected breeds. Dogs who have “DOMINEERING” tendency’s towards human.

Prey instinct is the same thing as a killer instinct. That's what hunters do with prey, they kill, they don't toy with their catch.

zumbigbo:
Oyibo don replace their families with dogs...

And yet they treat their dogs better than many Africans treat their own children, so who is really the problem?

AllenSpencer:
You are a learner!


Real dog lovers know some dogs got killer instincts.

Having a prey instinct does not make something a "wild animal". House cats are domesticated but they also have a prey instinct.

Is there any mod here? Every thread I keep seeing anti-Igbo nonsense.

wonder233:
They should keep deceiving themselves that these wild beasts are humans best friends.
Dogs are wild animals, the reason they are not attacking you is because they assess that you're bigger than them, which is the basic law of the animal kingdom. Stop deceiving yourselves about "training" and "domesticating" b.s. If you want to know, check what dogs do and to little babies. Its because they are bigger than them.
These 3 dogs attacked the man because they assessed that collectively they can overpower him - which is the same thing wild dogs do.

Dogs are one of the earliest examples of domesticated animals.
Anyone calling a dog a wild animal has no idea what they are talking about.
