As much as I don't like this administration I cannot think of too many cases where nations have listened to the IMF and the World Bank and succeeded. It always seems to go badly.

This is what happens when you tell your children that fictional characters are real.

There's a simple solution.

More nonsense.

Why are you people so fixated on dictating to people how they should live? And why is the advice almost always detrimental to both the individual and the wider society?

Nigerian democracy.

murphyjoe:
What is wrong with what he said since churches are springing up everywhere and there and nothing is wrong with that but when it comes to mosques why are we condemning it spread. I personally hypocrisy is our bane in this part of the country we tend not to see anything good from other side of the Niger but everything about spread of christianity is cool. The minister is a Muslim and we are shouting more than the bereave. We have criminals in all religious sect be it christianity,Islam & Traditional worshippers all form of criminality should be condemned and not the religion. My take!

Those churches are useless and should not be allowed to spring up everywhere as they do.

That does not make this man's comment any less wrong.

Ronaldinnioh:
Pantami this is Gombe....This is your State. Find something meaningful and do to the life of these guys than the nonsense you are doing. Build a nation than build religious centers.

Sad and shameful.

From the responses it seems as though Nigerians are belatedly awakening from their religious slumber.

This man talks like a drug addict who just woke up.

Exkandayee:
Raise money, come to America,I swear you'll find decent women

Na lie.

American men are talking about going to Latin America, Africa and Asia to find good women and here you are lying to African men about the quality of western women.

American family court is full of men getting screwed over by the judicial system, whether that be due to divorce rape, child support garnishing wages or worse, men in prison because they find themselves unable to pay their child support and lead a dignified existence. Lawyers across America have built comfortable retirement nests as a result of the crooked judicial system that profits from the plethora of broken families.

Women who act in bad faith are to be found everywhere. The story that OP told about a woman opening her legs to another man a week before her wedding is not unique to Nigeria. I can assure you that somewhere outside of Nigeria (probably in your beloved north America) there is a woman doing the very same, as we type.

soundOsonic:
I love the culture, aged individual means trust. Why? They have a name to preserve, then people were cautious about what they will be known for after death.
Respect was given to a trustworthy and a honest man. Now respect is given to men with money. No one cares about how you make the money. Even if you ask them the source of the wealth, they will tell you, why you didn't investigate the source of their poverty then.
But now, things are different, no one place value on trust again. That's why politicians are respected.
Shame on this generation. We place value on the superficial, what we see outside

The world is full of untrustworthy old people.

superemmy:
Why can't we build subways, tram, interdistrict commuter mini-trains like advanced countries to decongest traffic.

We have the money yet no one uses his brain in government to know its possible.

After they see all these things in developed countries they come back here chasing lifelong ambitions with nothing to show for it.

Nigerians jus like to suffer

They do nonsense because it's what the people are used to and the political class know that they can get away with providing virtually nothing.

The fact that no one from the political class has been killed by the masses despite the gross underdevelopment gives them the impetus to continue with the messed up status quo. Until the criminal-politicians are made to fear for their lives, en masse, Nigeria's problems will continue as we all met them.

Forever making promises. Why not do it and be done with it?

Dogasas:
Lol you and mmsen are Bushmen ...if you con go jhalobia in the same Lagos nko what will you now say.

Why is my name in your mouth?

Make I slap you like Will Smith.

Why don't you show us the view of Lagos from the Third Mainland Bridge? Particularly those areas closest to said bridge.

Go and catch those who loot government coffers, those who spend pension monies meant for the masses on frivolities instead of these small boys.

izicooo:
Calm down and understand my argument, no be quarrel we dey! The bottom line from your response "he's trying to be a decent human being" and I fell for that, thatz very commendable! He should forget about the girl's actions and continue being a decent Man. I come in Peace Brother.

Your argument is without merit.

A man who is disrespected without cause has every right to complain.

One of the reasons why Nigeria is a mess is because people keep seeing good people being maltreated and evil doers being protected and rewarded. This story is but a microcosm of what is wrong with the world.

izicooo:
Why is he complaining? He's done his work and He DID IT FOR HUMANITY, checking up for her safety, if she insults you, swallow it and move forward. If I were him, I will still checkup on someone else safety, if I am asked to do that!

Nonsense response.

Why should a man be disrespected for trying to be a decent human being?

If you bring me food and I slap you will you be happy? The way some of you creatures reason...

What did that Uber driver think that girl went there to do?

KingAzubuike:
Lol reflect7 mmsen and Gamesmart wouldn't like this... They'll keep on hyping Abuja that ought to be compared with the likes of akwa ibom and portharcourt... Na Abuja mates be that.

Won't like what?

The agberos? The traffic? The garbage strewn everywhere?

The slums on the lagoon?

The shabby buildings all over the mainland?

Pockets of Lagos are beautiful but the mainland is such a disgrace that it drags the city down in its entirety.

MorolayoVictor:
What's it with hotels today?

Hotels have always been filthy.

The same Kaduna state where people were saying the goblin they call governor was the best performing governor?

CUMIN:
It's the other way round...you need more company like flutterwave than David hudeyin...

More fraudulent companies where abuse of power and dishonesty are the norm?

Tell me you're Nigerian without telling me that you're Nigerian...

qekng40:
Who is MURIC ??


Religion is truly the opium of the masses.

The opium of fools.

ivolt:
Don't be deceived, he didn't investigate anything, an insider exposed the company's inner working
and information.

A journalist is only as good as his sources.

Apparently this man has reliable sources who trust him to report the truth and not do like your typical Nigerian who will write lies for 500 naira.

Great article.

We need more writers like Mr Hundeyin.

The way these people talk makes me certain that they are lying when they say that alcohol is haram.

I did not know that this was a thing.

Can we stop calling immigrants 'expatriates'. Most of these Indians and Arabs never leave.

nullboss:
Portharcourt to Maiduguri
What's the economic importance of a Portharcourt to Maiduguri Rail line.

It opens up the eastern part of the country. Hopefully stops the reliance on going go Lagos to transport cargo.

Dyke15:
North?
They re d architect of their own problem but they should relax coz this seed they re sowing will surely consume them

It is already consuming them.

The north has been on fire for much of the entirety of Buhari's administration and it is only getting worse.

kolnel:
Very interesting, just as expected.
It's hard for Africans to do things rightly.
Something must go wrong
I still think it's because we are different people who are forced to live together.
The solution might still lie in the disintegration of the entity called Nigeria.
The only reason why Nigeria is still together is corruption.
The thieving politicians know they won't stand a chance if all regions are allowed to go.
It's very sad!

Don't put this on all Africans. This is a Nigerian problem. You people like dishonesty too much.

Reference:
But the same thing is happening in education where a dispute in a school far away will lead to industrial action, health same thing, security, the economy. A tanker driver somewhere is unjustly treated and the nation;s energy sector is totally grounded.

Due to our poor structure every little challenge become a national emergency.
When we say restructure to create multiple redundancies in public service across board, the owners of Nigeria will say no.
They feel that the quest to make the nation more resilient undermines their desires to have the back door constantly unlatched for vermin to creep in.

You can imagine if this nation faced external threats. Just one saboteur creeping in across the border and knocking down a few electric poles in a far away forest will cripple the entire country.
We are indeed too weak to be called a viable society of unified nationals.... too weak and too ignorant.

There's no need to create external threats so long as Nigeria is saddled with northern Nigeria. Whenever a rational proposal is put forward they are the first ones to kick against it. It's like trying to walk with your legs anchored to a truck.
