Isn't this an old story?

I'm pretty sure that I saw this same headline in 2016.

9jakohai:
Seriously, what is your solution.

My solution is simple, we should have removed fuel subsidy long time ago, and completely deregulated the downstream sector, so that investment would have flowed in and made things better. Prices would have gone down now

I'm pretty someone removed the subsidy, only for one group of people to rile up public sentiment.

Or did I imagine that?

Not just Lagos, heard of issues in Calabar.

Sai Buhari indeed.

Useless people.

afroniger:
Can Somebody please explain to me why South Africans just love to shed Nigerian blood? Please tell me why? This is just too much and unacceptable.

South Africa is a very violent, unequal society. it is a nation whose history is steeped in violence.

It isn't just Nigerians that they kill.

vintage01:
Very ignorant people. Smoking in the western world is cultural and it's like taking tea or coffee. If you have ever been to a western country, you would see that there is no correlation between smoking and irresponsibility or reverence for God.

Actually, smoking is seen as irresponsible. It is a sign that you don't care about your health.

As to the nonsense about god, I don't care but I have heard of evangelical xtians getting very upset when they find that their children smoke.

I do find it odd that xtians will claim that their god created everything but will be the first ones to get upset about people using certain substances.

A year without a game?

Am I reading correctly?

What are you talking about OP?

People lavish all that money on their charlatan pastors in good times.

BigIyanga:
GMB and his gang are saints while 97% of Nigerians are criminals.

“My people are useless,
My people are senseless
My people are indisciplined”
Fela 1914

"Abacha is innocent but Nigerians are guilty", according to Buhari and friends.

NwaAmaikpe:


Hypocrite.


After sacking the chaplain of the Government House Chapel simply because he asked his wife to queue up to take holy communion.

His mates work late each day trying to ensure they end the year well, while he is here busy gallivanting in church programs.

Which of his 'mates' is doing that?

Please show me.

ejibaba:
Interesting but baba should forgive him and allow him try his luck with Nigerians.

Why are people still listening to OBJ in 2017?

And why are you calling him 'Baba'?

Funnicator:
Why is Rocha's, igbo governor wearing agbada in his state on an official visit.

It is indeed true, he really has fulani blood in him.
Okoroawusa.

Okorohausa has done a lot of stupid things but I think this is something good.

If Kenyan presidents can wear agbada why should a state governor within Nigeria not do likewise?

I think Nigerians need to learn to appreciate good customs and practices from across the country instead of staying in their tiny ethnic bubbles.

Threecrownz:
Inhumane...it still baffles me how people resort to such arduous means to travel overseas...from west Africa through Niger to Libya and later by sea to Europe, mehn! Desperation nah bastard...And our leaders are not helping...GOD HELP US IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD

Your leaders keep showing you that they don't care about you and you keep treating them like leaders instead of criminals.

They will keep doing so until you hold them to account.

profmallor:
Set the bible aside, are you familiar with the works of Nostradamus?. He was not a Christian, at least not a known one. How did he get to know all those things he mentioned?. I am assuming atheists do not believe in any form of spirituality, cause it doesn't make sense to deny the existence of a God but accept that there is a devil.

What point do you wish to make about Nostradamus?

Did he not claim that the world would cease to exist before now?

How is it that the people who believe in talking animals and virgin births are sane but the ones who question such outrageous claims are seen as mad?

What an absurd society.

chloride6:
Hush, mallam.

Why did they solicit funds from the general public if it was a solely Lebanese concern.

Anyway, let's see there offer. NIPCO made a fantastic offer Mobil shareholders. Let's see if they can match.

They sold shares to raise capital, as do many companies.

They did not use the capital well, apparently. Hence the losses.

Now the management wants to buy out the private shareholders so that they can steer the company right and maybe save their jobs.

GavelSlam:
Watch how the Lebanese would manage the company to a much more profitable venture.

They have been managing the company and making loses.

Maybe you should read before commenting?

There's an element of greed (or stupidity) in being duped.

When a man gives a young lady money hoping for sex he can't sue and claim that he was duped when he doesn't get it.

I don't see why this should be any different.

Criis:
It's allowed, He's a muslim now.


But, how this ugly dude go dey kpansh this fine babe?

Mysterious world

There's no mystery to money sir.

ernieboy:
Why are all of u people carrying other people's matter on ur heads, the people donating the Monet did not complain, but this of u who will not give anything are busy shouting inline.

Those people donating are the same ones who will shirk taxes, steal electricity, steal from their place of work, steal from government offices and then say that the country isn't working.

Meanwhile they have money to give to this crook.

datola:
Let's criticise with respect and decorum.

Why? The man is a common criminal.

How is he any different from the people doing 419?

How is he any different from the politicians that Nigerians cry about?

Desyner:
While I applaud the move as a good one I don't think this is a stride yet.
The whole thing sounds too elaborate to me, How can a single Chinese firm process cocoa, salt, cassava starch and still handle power provision ?



In fact the firm is creating the industrial park most of it. The state govt is merely giving out land. If I go further now it may sound like I am hating on Osun.

It doesn't sound like a well thought out plan.

It almost looks like 419...

360command:
one thing I know about ghana nigeria, ghana are usually the first to start something of such nature, but with time, nigeria would start with the initiative and then supersede ghana...

This is where I see Nigerians acceptance to technology ahead of ghana. Ghana they have good top leaders who implement new policy but they lack finishing... While Nigeria, we don't have good leaders to implement it at early stage but when such project is implemented, nigerians are great finishers....

Nigerians adopt new technology before Ghanaians.

I'm sure that ATM filling pump is in Nigeria and has been for years, OP simply does not know.

Having dealt with banks in Ghana I know for a fact that they are many years behind when it comes to adopting the latest technology.

Lekan1o1:
Waht ar3 u saying oga.
Was brian idowu tried before.
Even the second keper against argentina.
That was their first match and did very well.

So if he is not invited how then will he be tried.
Pls pls pla WHAT ARE U SAYING

Brian Idowu plays first team football for a top division club in Russia. He has several years as a professional under his belt.

This kid has no first team experience.

felixomor:
Great news.

When we choose to use Merit in our affairs, Nigeria does well.
If only it could be so in politics and leadership

Where is the merit in this decision?

This kid hasn't played a game yet.

I'm all for sourcing the best available players but this guy is completely untried.

I hope that the state governments of the south east will buy these as well as all those who have been shouting 'Biafra'.

If you love your own, support your own with your money. Don't shout 'Biafra' and then buy German or Japanese.

TemmyTee82:
What "states" do you speak of? You got me confused.

Tell your babe to come down here to Akure. It's quite organised too. We all know how choked up Lagos is. It's tiny and densely populated. So excuse the roughness.

We don't deny Nigeria has issues too. But stop comparing the good points of other countries to our bae points. We know our problems. We don't need any foreigners to gloat over us.

Those ones rocking to Nigeria jagajaga. Well. Na their bad belle go kill them.

Why did he not compare capital to capital?

Compare the capital of Ghana or Burkina Faso with Abuja.

Compare the other cities with Calabar or even Kano.

Lagos is a part of Nigeria, no doubt, but the Lagos mainland is a disgrace. The island is better than most African cities however.

queenfav:
Accra is very beautiful, though an expensive city! You didn't go to the malls @op?

I don't know where OP decided that things are cheap or value for money in Ghana - they are not.

Everything costs at least 50% more in Ghana.

Medicine that costs 1500 in Nigeria costs the equivalent of 10k in Ghana. Even the price at MMIA is cheaper.

Ghanaian kente cloth is cheaper in Lagos than Accra.

Electricity tariffs are at least double.

Water costs more. The food that your gateman will buy costs three to four times as much as what your gateman will pay in Nigeria.

And they don't have 24 hours electricity, the situation is better than Nigeria but they do have to run generator for roughly 10 hours a week, probably more during the dry season.

Driving in Ghana is often less stressful experience because people are more considerate, for the most part. But again, Accra does not have as many good roads as Abuja, Lagos, Kano or even smaller cities such as Calabar or Uyo. Which means that while there are fewer cars the traffic can become a real nuisance, especially on Liberation Road and Spintex. There are fewer slip roads or link roads, the ones that exist are often not tarred. For an example, anyone in Accra - drive from the Koala end of Oxford Street towards the Vodafone office, at which point turn right. Drive 50 metres down that road and you will come onto a dirt road. This is Osu, central Accra, for those unfamiliar.

Speaking of Vodafone, their service is poor. Phone calls are just about passable but their internet service is frequently awful. The only other option is MTN, friends tell me that they are worse. And that is another advantage to Nigeria - there are more options when it comes to telecommunications. Once again, they are cheaper.

Ghana has its advantages for sure - primarily that it's a smaller, more manageable country and thus a calmer society. The electricity situation is better but not perfect. But most importantly they are not forced to labour under a cabal of semi-literate mallams. There is no northern elite steering the country in the wrong direction at every juncture and hiding behind the Quran and 'tradition' to justify nonsense, such as child marriage. And they don't have a coupist masquerading as a democrat.

urahara:
Guy , you should be thinking about integrity and efficiency , not state of origin.

Buhari is not concerned with either.

And Atiku is not what I think of when you say integrity.

Stop recycling the same useless characters.

Stop allowing the north to dictate nonsense and push mediocrity and poverty on the rest of the nation.

I'm all for weakening the centre so that it doesn't matter where the president is from. Because even if you have elections they will rig it as they did last time. Same as how they commit fraud during census.

Why did OP say 'Africans' when the article is about Zambians?

OP, you can't read?

jacyhelen:
Poverty and illiteracy is the bane of poor Muslims.
Compare Qatar to Pakistan
Compare UAE to Afghanistan
Compare Oman to Syria
Compare Bahrain to Northern Nigeria
Poverty and illiteracy is a problem, Oshoola Assisat is a Muslim, but how many times have you see her on Hijab even on social events, not even a head covering.
Sometime ago, Sanusi's wife graced on homepage, but she was wearing just a head covering, the wife of a revered emir in the north.
Let northerners keep allowing themselves to be decieved by their elites, they keep pumping you guys with Islamic teachings while they send their wards to study abroad, they keep funding Quranic recitations while their children keep attending conferences in their career niche, after studying Islamic studies, what career in the society would you work? When you don't see jobs and see that you are useless to the society, the same elites channel your anger that it is the infidels on the other side are the reason for your poverty and the killing spree starts and continues.. ..
I have said it many times,Give the Northeners proper Education and u see them Revoulting against Islam,its teaching and their Mohammed jUst the way we christains are Fighting against Some G Pastors,their Teaching and issue of Tite.

You don't need 'education' to see blatant hypocrisy.

We all have eyes.

We all have a brain.

It's right there in front of them. Especially those in the north.

Their problem isn't that they are dumb, their problem is that they are cowards.

That is why Boko Haram are busy killing civilians - why not kill your useless traditional rulers? They are the ones who collude with the state government and LGAs to keep you in check.

Another set of confused Muslims.

They want to embrace the modern world whilst being anchored to the nonsense in the Quran.

That's like trying to keep your right arm in Lagos and your left arm in Calabar - it's impossible and you'll look crazy trying to do so.
