AKS and CRS are the best part of Nigeria.

Are they going to engage in the zoning nonsense that the other parties do?

johnfarida2011:
That was how one person here on Nairaland was saying that the criticism on Maduka is because he is Igbo. Is Carl Ikeme not Igbo? And is he not very much loved and adored here in Nigeria? Don't we love Iheanacho? Don't we still adore Okocha, Kanu, and many of our other legends who are Igbos?

They want to destroy our biggest unifying factor.

It is our duty as Nigerians to ensure that tribalism is never brought near our Super Eagles.

Carl Ikeme is not Igbo.

Nobody was talking about Sadiq, everyone was complaining about Ighalo, Moses and Onazi. None of whom are from the north.

That's not the norm everywhere in Lagos.

There are places that charge 50 naira per page and maybe even less if you're in the right place.

Nigerians think that anything besides extreme depravity and abuse is 'spoiling' a child.

There are people who genuinely believe that beating a child is right but when those people who were abused as children go on to abuse their power as adults (as most Nigerian leaders do) Nigerians are somehow confused as to why a person would behave in that manner.

This is the last place I would come to for parenting advice.

Petersamuel8:
The more the sanctions the more I'm beginning to like this Russia. The west has been invading middle East for more two decades yet no sanction. See them flexing there muscles has na Russia

Both sides are trash but the hypocrisy is on full display as it has always been for those paying attention.

bluefilm:
Are our Igbo governors and LGA chairmen the directors of NNPC now?

Is it our Igbo governors and LGA chairmen that are responsible for importing petrol into the country now?

Guy na wa for you o!

They are a large part of the problem but there is an Igbo director in NNPC, a Mr Billy Okoye https://nnpcgroup.com/About-NNPC/Pages/Executive-Management.aspx.

bluefilm:
Those of us in the Sit at Home region dey hear am now.

I bought a liter at 250 yesterday.

It wasn't funny at all.

Oh... My soul longs for Biafra the motherland!!!

Because I know that this nonsense can never happen in Biafra.

You have Igbo governors and LGA chairmen, why do you not hold those ones to account?

sylve11:
We have bad government and bad citizens. Each of everyone is guilty of the crime he or she is accusing the other of.

The government is only a reflection of the citizenry.

It was the senseless panic buying that caused all the problems.

As per usual.

adewumiopeyemi:
My question is why must you collect loan if you dont this issult wount come

Why do you people forever blame the wronged party rather than try and hold the wrong doer to account?

I see this every day.

Someone walking down the street gets hit by a car - "why were you walking down the street?"

Someone whose house gets burgled - "why are you living in a house?"

Someone whose card gets swallowed by an ATM - "why are you using ATM?"


The way some of you people reason is a sight to behold. It is truly tragic.

When two groups of crooks fight.

Nigerians who think they are sharp will realize that they know nothing about criminality and fraud when they face these western banks.

If they are already causing you problems at this stage in the relationship how much worse do you think it will be as the years go by?

Why didn't your god stop you from getting into an accident altogether?

Focus on the airports, leave the business of airlines alone.

ugonology:
China is not only 'a developing country' she is also the world's second largest economy. You keep mentioning Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, China...how many of them subsidies fuel importation? Oga, if subsidies are meant for economic growth and expansion like in all the countries you listed, then it is given to producers and manufacturers not importers whose activities have no positive impact on the economy like in our case of petroleum imports. If government gives subsidies to dangote refineries, it's completely different from when NNPC spend trillions importing refined petrol!!

My last paragraph covers that point. Nigerian government policy is foolish because Nigerians themselves are illogical.

ugonology:
No sir, infact subsidies are meant for developed nations, not third world poverty stricken countries with overburden debt profiles, countries that spend more than half their revenue servicing debt! Haba, where do we get the money from? Nigeria that is still struggling to construct bridges. These countries you mentioned have enough to spare, their systems are efficient, tax recovery is near 100%, how many people pay tax in Nigeria?

China is not a 'developed' nation.

Education is subsidized in most countries, especially those with 100% literacy rates.

All that cheap rice that Thailand exports, you think it isn't subsidized?

Malaysia doesn't subsidize its agricultural output?

You think Vietnam does not provide subsidies for its manufacturing?

You are naive if you fail to understand that subsidies/public funds are used to build economies. Nigeria's debt profile isn't anywhere near as high as the above nations.

As to where Nigerians will get the money? Well, you people subsidize religion hence why at least 3 of the top ten wealthiest pentacostal pastors are Nigeria. As well as sponsoring religious travel.

Maybe if the Nigerian government prioritized things that matter then you might get better results but then the government is only a reflection of the populace and Nigerians are stupendously superstitious. You cannot expect the Nigerian government at any level to be rational when the people are so horrendously irrational. Fix that most basic issue first and then you might see some results.

ugonology:
This is what you get when you try to run a country like a poultry farm, Where government provides subsidies on everything from petrol, education, agriculture to power generation and distribution to health care.

Subsidy is the reason why ASUU will always go on strike (students can't be paying 80$ per section and you expect government to handle the rest) socialist government structures like subsidies will always spell doom for any growing economy, look at Syria and Venezuela. 90% of Nigeria's problem is tied to the senseless spendings on 'hypocritical' subsidies that eventually get looted by the high and mighty.
Until we tell ourselves the truth, we will continue to suffer needlessly.

America and the EU subsidize their farmers/farm products. This is why it's so easy for them both to dump their agricultural produce on the rest of the world.

China subsidizes damn near its entire economy. Hence why it's so easy for them to crush businesses elsewhere.

The entire 'capitalist' system is built on 'subsidies'.

Chelsea is very wasteful and terrible at signing players from the looks of this list. How are those two German wasters making so much money?

Saul who doesn't play is making more than 90% the squad - how?

TenQ:
Did you read the story?
The man may not even be aware that his girlfriend was pregnant.

I read the story.

He was abandoned by at least one parent, if not both of them.

I really do wonder about men who father children and disappear leaving them to the elements.

As well as women who abandon children that they gave birth to.

Pure evil.

qekng40:
Once upon a time, there was a country.

Pray tell, when was this?

If you read external reports on Nigeria it has always has structrual issues, from its inception it was designed that way.

Why is Ahmed Musa in this squad?

Does he even play professional football?

When did men start dancing like women on social media?

Michelle70:
Jonathan in time of plenty was wasteful.

As a business man, I know that the time of plenty is the time to plan for the future.

Nigeria case is lack of progressive leaders and tribalistic youths.
Lagos is what it is because of leaders that plan for the future.
look at China, when they were busy producing China phones, we make mockery of them that there products doesn't last, but today I am typing this with China phone and u are probably reading with Chinese phone.

2moro, ur children will still blame govt while ur voursemates could be millionaires

Nigeria has never had 'plenty' because the population doubles every 25 years in a country with serious infrastructure deficits across the board.

Nigeria bragging about savings is like a man with ten children boasting about how he as 100k USD in his account, meanwhile he has no house, no clothes, his wife is naked and seven of his children have never seen a school classroom.

tollyboy5:
lagos has the money to settle that. im very sure Lagos will start making process immediately

Lagos can barely handle transport for the population that it has.

Can barely handle sanitation.

The idea that they will become wizards when it comes to electricity is laughable.

None of these things will pass so long as NASS is made up of useless old men.

Get rid of them first, then you will have some progress.

Emperordynasty:
But this Ukraine can be racsist to Africans trying to flee why aren't they racist to one trying to join their army...ofcourse Africans are always good for being used in the eyes of some of this whites...though some still have conscience

All western nations are like this. African-Americans have been on the frontlines of every war that a murderous Uncle Sam has waged on the rest of humanity and yet African-American men continue to be treated like third class citizens in their own country. A country they have literally shed blood for.

France would still be under German hands were it not for African troops and yet France continues to be a hostile place for Africans.

Haakeem:
Me self i need to join their army....

Anything to fly ottaf this country.

The tribulations in naija is more dangerous than the war going on in both country.

You and the people who 'liked' this comment need deliverance from your stupidity.

Aufbauh:
It is also asserted that the worst side of democracy is better than any form of military rule.
However I feel that Nigeria in particular and Africa in general still need the military rule cus of the peculiarity of our politicians.

Military rule only works when you have intelligent specimens in the armed forces.

Does Nigeria have such?

A military that allowed Buhari to become general is not to be taken seriously.

24 hours light in AKS incoming.

2 hours (per month) in Katsina.

Haryour12:
No Nigeria military officer can get this type of warming welcome

Dem no know pass to shoot at armless protesters n shout "u wan buy job"

You think American military personnel don't engage in evil?

You think everything they did in Iraq and Afghanistan is legitimate?

You think they don't run missions elsewhere that you don't hear about because they shouldn't be there in the first instance?
