I thought Lagos was the safest state?

Did somebody seriously say that?

holysaint1:
You keep emphasizing on the word "People like you" "FTR" (For the Record), i neva said i was one of 'em perpetrators.. I guess thats why i used the word "perceived" right from my first post.. now back to your last paragraph, You write like you just stepped in Nig. This monday morning my point is you dont expect to deliberately inflict pain and agony on your customers and expect not to get phurked up.. phcn or woreva dia name is has been on the nerves of so many 9gerians including you.. yes you!
Imagine paying your apportioned monthly bill (if not more) and before the mid of dat same month, they are everywhere with their ladder tryna do the only thing they are trained for... lemme ask ... what do you call such

You may or may not be one of the perpetrators but you are quite clearly one of their sympathizers.

This is why I keep stressing 'mentality'.

Your mentality is destructive.

holysaint1:
bruh, i seriously dnt wanna exchange much words with you, kus i feel my 1st post was quite open and explanatory enough. As for your reply though, you av truely spoken like a politician.. a different face in the public... And somethin else in private.. i blame no one though.. Its d society we live in.

You have no clue how I live in private.

The mentality that you have displayed in this thread is the primary problem that Nigeria faces. It is that mentality which is behind much of the self-destructive and self-defeating acts that many people have committed. They appear to have flipped the saying "don't shit where you eat" on its head.

I will never understand why there are so many people like you with no regard for their own environment. It makes absolutely no sense to destroy infrastructure in your own locale.

Dear Mods,

Why do you not delete all these fake/unsubstantiated posts.

If the OP wishes to make a joke then they should mark it as a joke in the title.

Otherwise such stories should be deleted.

I've seen at least three false stories in two days now.

Toyota make the most reliable cars.

Additionally any spare parts that you may need for a Toyota vehicle are easy to source and cheaper than most.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday began its final push to take the presidency from President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

A Northwest rally was held in Kaduna, the first public rally by the APC presidential candidate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, since the elections were postponed.

The polls billed for February 14 and 28 were shifted by six weeks. They will now hold on March 28 and April 11.

At the rally, Gen. Buhari vowed not to probe previous governments, if he is elected.

The venue of the rally was changed at the last minute, as the Kaduna State Government prevented the APC from using the state-owned Murtala Square.

The rally was shifted to the permanent site of the Kaduna International Trade and Investments Centre along Zaria road.

However, the crowd at the centre created a heavy traffic along the ever-busy Kaduna/Kano highway as the candidate struggled through the heavy traffic to get to the venue.

An official of the APC in the state and a member of the Media and publicity of the APC campaign, Dr. Hakeem Baba Ahmed, told The Nation when asked why they were refused the use of the Square, that “they said it is security reasons”.

Buhari arrived the venue of the rally at about 4.30pm in an open coastal box, clad in a sky blue babariga accompanied by a large number of supporters who had to walk for about four kilometres to the venue of the rally.

The Presidential candidate of the APC promised not to probe any past leader but will allow the judicial process to run its full course in all cases relating to corruption.

According to Gen. Buhari, anyone who embezzles even a single kobo afterwards, will not only be made to refund it, but will face prosecution as from May 29, 2015 if he becomes president. He lamented the high level of corruption in the PDP-led administration.

Gen. Buhari, a former Head of State, reminded the crowd that public treasury belongs to the entire citizen and it should be used to improve the wellbeing of the people by providing good health care delivery, improving the education sector and power among others.

The presidential candidate urged APC members and stakeholders to vote for all the party’s candidates. He told them not to be deceived by the admonitions of PDP elements who are preaching selective voting in the different strands of the election.

‘’They have been in power for 16 years and yet they want us to hand them another four years. At the end of the four years that they are seeking for, they would have spent 20 years in power and we would have been so dehumanized that that we can’t even recognize each other,’’ Buhari pointed out.

The APC candidate lamented that industries have collapsed and the few ones that are still operating are doing so at a huge cost owing to lack of electricity, adding that ‘’almost all small businesses have folded up.’’

Professor Yemi Osibanjo, Buhari’s running mate, also spoke in Hausa when he admonished APC supporters to vote the party’s candidates all the way. ‘’APC sak, APC sak, APC,sak’’, he said and the crowd chorused after him.

Gen. Buhari and his entourage held a rally from Constitution road, through Independence way, before branching off to Ali Akilu way . The entourage inched its way slowly to Kawo, with Gen. Buhari and Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso waving supporters from the open roof of his Sports Utility Vehicle.

Dignitaries that graced the occasion included National Chairman Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, North West Vice Chairman, Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir, Governor Aliyu Wammako of Sokoto state and Governor Abdul Azeez Yari of Zamfara state. Governorship candidates of Kaduna state, Malam Nasir El Rufai, Kebbi State Senator Atiku Bagudu, Kano State Dr Abdullahi Ganduje and Katsina State Alhaji Aminu Bello Masari were present.

I wonder where she learnt such habits?

He might want to check on his wife.

Just saying.

Kingspin:
Look at u if it coming the politics of APC you will quickly digest it without water. This shadow called one Nigeria must stop. Rubbish.

What does that even mean?

I can't respond to what you said because it doesn't make sense.

If I express myself in English it would make sense that any response that you wrote was also in English.

Please.

deskossy:
why are u people always in denial?

If it's true post the proof.

Otherwise this is irresponsible journalism.

bushdoc9919:
Sorry.....but this story get K-leg.

1.Appointments to any federal institution/body require that you MUST follow Federal Character. IT IS THE LAW. If you do not follow federal character.....you will get sacked immediately.

2.The head of PTI is not a Hausa man. Since when did he suddenly start favoring Hausas?

3.Someone is trying to foist false information. How come none of the major news outlets is reporting on this?

I am sorry.....but someone is trying to raise ethnic sentiments. Can we please stop this.

This is just like the other fake story yesterday that claimed Hausas were going around attacking Yorubas, in Yorubaland, because they were smoking weed and someone shone a torch on them. (This nonsense - https://www.nairaland.com/2190725/hausa-youths-attack-yoruba-osun)

Completely ridiculous.

The OP should post the list of the accepted candidates if the story is true.

She's mentally troubled.

One of the relics of Christianity. 'Do not suffer a witch to live'. Where did i read that again?Oh yes the bible. See them,all acting sanctimonius now..sigh

Xtians are unable to see how their superstitions feed into a culture whereby people such as Helen Ukpabio can thrive.

Good news.

No more boring, uninspired, over-aggressive Chelsea in the Champions League.

I hope they find and sterilize the lady who dumped this baby.

How does gay sex affect policy? or competency?

If this is true then they really are clueless.

There are some but they tend to be frequented by what I call 'meat-heads' i.e. guys who go to get 'big' and not necessarily healthy.

I didn't observe any women in the gyms that I went to outside of the hotels.

I imagine that a gym that catered exclusively to women could work very well in cosmopolitan cities like Abuja or Lagos.

SambisaaForest:
and who gives fvck if you have issues with Ghana? nigerians have been having "issues" with Ghana since Lord Lugard's time.
And what evidence do you have that "this is more likely to be an image from one of the smaller countries?"

I will give you one reason it cant be Ghana. In Ghana, tricycle riders are required to wear helmets and that law is strictly enforced.

Liar! keke napep and okadas are still the main means of transportation in your country! do you know the number of keke napep imported into your country from India? even your state govts import keke napep as a "poverty alleviation scheme!"

1. Okadas have been banned from most Nigerian cities for a while - hence why you see the keke. But in more progressive cities (Calabar, Uyo, Lagos and Abuja) kekes are banned from large parts of these cities.

2. The reason why I claim that this is most likely an image from a smaller nation is because such contraptions are not seen on Nigerian roads or at least I have never seen one. I have, however, seen three wheel trucks in Ghana. For the record you also see them in China so it's no insult to say that they ply the roads of some other West African nations, just a statement of fact.

iwaeda:
Few claim there is no progress

Few people with eyes claim that there is no progress but there are a lot of blind people on this forum who convince themselves that nothing good is happening in Nigeria.

ogmask:
I have travelled far and wide and i know improvement when i see one. I think the problem is we swallow anything shoved at us hook, line and sinker. What you call development/improvement is like perfume over shi..ite. I do not see any improvement in sight my dear talk less of recognising one. Visit airports in other countries you will see things differently.

Is it better than what it was?

Yes.

That is improvement.

The fact is for a long time things were allowed to rot in Nigeria - I'm not sure what the military were doing but they did not appear to be concerned with ensuring that anything worked as they were meant to, all the while they accrued debts. Compared to what it was the improvements are welcome.

I 'visit' airports in other countries, often. Not all of them are great or the world-class establishments that many people like to point to when comparing Nigerian airports. Most airports are functional and many airports abroad are decrepit. To constantly attack Nigerian airports suggests that your issue is not the airports but something deeper. The fact that you keep changing tact, from claiming the images are false to now stating that they do not match your exacting standards, suggests that you have ulterior problems.

No one is claiming that these are the best airports in the world, simply that work has been done to improve them from what they are. Progress has been made.

David0:
If this were to be true, then y didnt the press take pix of broken doors and places vandalised.

This story is a lie.

This is coming from PDP to turn the heart of the Yorubas against Buhari.

Am beginning to hate this country.

SMH

It's called yellow journalism.

Not particular to Nigeria at all.

It's a weak ploy by those in power to divide and distract the common people, divert their attention away from real issues.

Such much 'god' in all these names.

I like how she wants to shift the blame unto the man.

Did he force her legs open?

Not a single 'African' on that list, just crazy people who should never have been allowed to have children. Please reserve your stupidity.

These people needed psychiatric assistance - which they never received.

Forwetinnah:
I've heard a lot of stories about them too...i think he's one if those people who think being white means being clean

A nasty shock awaits him.

Europeans tend not to bathe as often (Americans are usually better in that regard) - he'll find out the hard way, sticking his face in places where it shouldn't be and coming up with a rash.

i would advice u sit back & relax nxt tym b4 u type. #no insult intended

do u knw aw many street abound only in ajegunle alone.. Or isolo/ikotun.. Not to talk of other vast areas in Lagos... tell me aw much actually does it take for one to have a stable supply.. Kus from my perception, the money being ripped from nigerians (irrespective of the current tappers )monthly is more than enough to revamp the power sector...

There are better ways of getting things done than to vandalize the infrastructure meant to service your own community.

If you are unhappy about being overcharged, then simply do not pay anymore (which I'm sure many of them do irregardless).

To argue that because someone may have overcharged you, therefore you are going to vandalize something that services more than just yourself is short-sighted.

If you are not willing to ensure that infrastructure is maintained/left unmolested why should anyone waste their time building it? Why would anyone invest in such a society when they know that there are so many people who think like you and behave like these criminals?

I hope that you are not one of the people calling for 'change' because the truth is that change in Nigeria can only come when people like you are marginalized.
