MrOjay1:
i have always thought it was the yorubas(the ones living in Lagos) that first came in contact with the Europeans.

And the Europeans also lived long in YorubaLand(Lagos) before permeating other regions.

They stayed long enough in Lagos to establish the first mission school(Badagry and CMS)...so why weren't their surnames influenced?

There are Yorubas who carry European names.

Why is that all of these Nigerians with access to resources do such a bad job of taking care of themselves?

Men will always be men.

Ashawo will always be ashawo.

It looks just like the one in Abuja...

juvewalex:
Bunch of jokers have bastardized the profession called lawyer ,to hell with you all .

No conduct and ethics for the profession anymore because of your tribe man who was disinvited .

Ethics? In Nigeria?

theenchanter:
well said. these are d type of people that ought to be steering d affairs of this nation.......

Really?

You think he didn't play politics to become deputy governor of the CBN?

You think he spoke out against bad policies and abuse of power when he was at the CBN?

This man is a loud mouth hypocrite like many Nigerians.

He hasn't said anything that a 10 year-old cannot see.

Notatribalist:
You go there all the time,have you stay there or engage in any business there?don't speak on issues you have no details about. Haven live in Ghana for many years I can tell you without missing words that the reason Ghanians want Nigerians out is because they feel Nigeria retailers have crash the price of their goods..Ghanians believe in making huge profit from one product,why Nigeria believes in little little profit some that the market can go fast,this is why they are angry with Nigerians,nothing more.

I engage in business there and have stayed for prolonged periods of time.

You might have some valid points but so do the Ghanaians. Nigerian yahoo boys are all too visible in Accra. They make no attempt to hide their criminality.

Germandude30:
I just checked ghana gdp and its lagos equivalent population and I laugh

And yet Ghana is safer and cleaner than Lagos.

What does that tell you?

Maybe your priorities are wrong.

Ghana does not have an issue with other blacks or Africans going there. I go there all the time without issue, as do many others.

Nigerians need to stop deflecting and take a look at themselves. There's a reason why your country is the way that it is.

kingphilip:
So women don join de collect bribe?

Na really end time we de.

Why are you shocked that women are crooked?

Anuoluwa1234:
And with a these illegal fat money transfer,.. Una no fresh at all . See how they are looking Mal nourished , wearing rags upandan . Mumu ppl.l
Bible said it all.. Just give Ur life to Jesus, cuz u can't fool God.

Nigerians typically are not fresh, they have no concept of quality of life.

Look at Tiinubu, all the money that he has stolen and yet he looks like a malnourished tout.

Lol.

See typical African stupidity - steal from your own to enrich people who hate you.

Hand your children over to people who hate you so that they can educate your children to hate themselves. A service for which you pay a premium.

Then they jail you and take the rest of your assets.

Good.

Tundetunapaa:
Really even with uniforms and id card

They were in plain clothes and did not identify themselves.

Police in many of those southern European nations are very crooked. This doesn't surprise me at all.

pastorcyrus:
Not surprised thou,may be one foreign country has postponed their own resumption which promoted ours to be postponed as well,we are only good at imitating other countries but can't copy them in terms of human right abuses and killing of unarmed protesters like ibop and other citizens killed in gross violation of human right.Aisha and others that are above the law just flew/ travelled few days ago,our laws are only meant for the powerless but the reverse becomes the case when it comes to the elites.
What a kwantree

No. It's not any other country that caused this, it's Nigeria's refusal to respect time and deadlines.

WibusJaga:
That's about $600 per week!
Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester over $90,000 per week!
It is well.

That is at least double what many earn in a week. A great salary for a growing league.

martineverest:
just leave them alone...our doctors were on holiday during Corona..while foreign ones were overworked tirelessly.they think it's going to be heavenly practicing medicine abroad..they mistakes they escape with while practicing medicine in naija will land them in jail if hey make such mistake

That final sentence is the sad truth.

They will be under greater scrutiny as foreign doctors and subject to the usual discriminatory behavior that is rife in many of the listed nations.

There will be no tolerance for any of the nonsense that they get away with within Nigeria.

Yankee101:
You go were you are appreciated

I believe it's high time we begin to charge tuition on courses like Medicine or at the least have a minimum contribution you must make to your country before leaving

US doctors and lawyers have student loans of 200 to 500k USD after graduation

They aren't "appreciated" there either.

Medical professionals the world over have been complaining about their treatment during the pandemic, lack of equipment and poor management.

It's just that the pay is better.

Mires:
There are some transactions some people will insist cash. We are not cashless economy.

Which legitimate business transaction has anybody insisted on cash? Almost 500k at that.

That sounds like a set-up to me.

Reference:
How could he be so ignorant and careless. Endless warnings have gone out over handling large amounts in cash but I guess folks want to learn the hard way. So be it.

Any vendor asking for more than 5,000 naira cannot get my patronage.

You're generous. More than 1k and I transfer or go elsewhere.

Mires:
Say what you know. Those of us who reside in IB know how armed rubbers go after banks customers more especially within Bodija axis

You must be extra security conscious and alert to withdraw bulk money in IB and get home safely. Whenever I am in such move, I don't go to the bank with car. I wore jean for action for action.

If they all have bank accounts why do they continue to deal in cash? Are they allergic to transfers?

I don't know why anybody would need to hold that much cash in the age of electronic transfers.

It's well known that those bank employees sell information to their criminal friends/relatives.

Ban all these centres of greed and fraud both abroad and in Nigeria.

erico2k2:
what we really and truly need is power3. once that is achieved we are good to go.FG can foxtrot oscar

Even with power, you need a government agency to coordinate. The private sector is too fragmented and self interested to do such effectively.

Nigerians need to understand that government is there to reflect the will and needs of the people.

They cannot continue to cry about government whilst sitting on the sidelines watching criminals destroy what could be a great nation. Nor should Nigerians be easy on those who allow themselves to be compromised by the political class.

Spaxon:
I believe the Private Sector actually holds the key to the industrialization of Nigeria.
Look at Dangote, BUA, LaFarge and the rest of them.

If the Federal Government could Privatize Agriculture and Petroleum or even Aviation

Great changes would be seen in years to come.

But lie lie...
They'll rather keep seeing possibilities in looting and re-looting.

I remember Jonathan brought the Land Swapping Deal in Abuja.

And got most of the Private companies build those estates n parks, I went through the money the companies spent on building most of those residential Estates.
You'd be amazed .
Most budgeted #2billion.
That's the amount a Nigerian Politician can comfortably loot.

The future lies in the Private Sector.


For those Space Bookers below me.
I can see Buhari's personal griller

I hear Nigerians say that the private sector will fix all ills, as if that has happened anywhere else. A strong public sector is vital to rein in the excesses of the capitalist class and direct towards those areas that are needed and not just to make a quick profit.

Private sector will not fund the public infrastructure that we all need and use.

Nigeria needs better roads, more rail, public schools and libraries.

It's fine producing but how do you get your goods to consumers if your roads are a joke?

Why does it need a special entry for politicians? I thought all Muslims were equal?

jayautos:
This is a very good development, we should see more of such projects all over the country, building of industries that will create more jobs.
Most of us in Nigeria don't vote and that explains why only about 35% of registered voter participate in actual voting ( this includes rigged figures). In a country of over 200million people with half of her population above 18, only 15m made the current president and another 12m voted opposition. Total 27 out of a 100m million possible votes that could have changed the game. But this is not my focus now.
My concern now is fact that most of us are tertiary voters. The primary voters are those who determine those that make it to the political party primaries. The secondary voters are those who vote at party congresses and primaries. The tertiary voters are those who have a PVC and take the time against all odds to vote.
As we approach 2023, we will be making same mistake if we wait until late in 2022 to start bragging about having a PVC. The focus of every well meaning Nigerian now should be how to step up in political participation. Move from voting between the devil and the deep blue sea on election mornings to actually determining who become the party candidate. If not, join me to push for independent candidacy to be allowed in the electoral act amendment. Until till then, prepare for more lamentation in future.
The leaders are really not the problem but the docility of we the followers.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Many of those that do vote sell their votes to the useless old men who continue to destroy this country.

Which part of Calabar?

Benjaniblinks:

I wish this can happen in Nigeria

Why are you waiting on others?

Go and deal with your LGA chairman, I'm sure he has been just as feckless as this Malian president.

Simplyleo:
Wike is always right.

We will never insult him even if he insults us. If he likes, let him say all the criminals in Rivers state come from our place, we will not insult him.

E get why.

We want to attach ourselves to his oil rich state so that our online country can sustain.

Sense will not kill us.

It's not healthy to be a sycophant.

What's the difference between 'Arab' and Lebanese?

Nigerians are forever worried about the wrong things.

Again?

Why should anybody lend you people money if every ten years you cry for debt forgiveness?
