I've always said this... it's ONLY in Nigeria and other poor nations that you see people go crazy over phones and other frivolities. Why? Cuz of extreme poverty. Simple!

Of all the senior executives I support at work, none of them owns the latest electronic gadgets or cars yet, they make >$400K annually.

Whereas in a nation like Nigeria where >75% live on <$1 daily (abject poverty), they crave expensive and opulence lifestyles.

Poor people in wealthy nations act the same way. That's why they have contracts where people take two years to pay off these phones. Or why so many people go into credit card debt to make similar purchases.

Punch and Lagos-Ibadan express agenda.

Stop trying to foist una agenda on Wike.

Wike said that Rivers is a Christian state and so be it.


Rivers state is not a Muslim state nor do the state practice any form of Islam...

What about those who are not xtian? Are you saying that those ones do not belong in Rivers State?

Flier:
The problem at the moment is,no one is there to put this government in check
Everything is just upside down
It’s all good, there is USDT and private key

Tether is a scam.

Private keys are indeed the key.

Cholera? In 2019...

I hope they do what they say that they will do.

No need to recruit them to the military when they are already in government.

ValCon888:
I hope no one tries to assassinate this man. Because this his refinery project is going to put a lot of greedy thieves out of business.

You think that this man hasn't already settled those people?

henryobinna:
your first paragraph, if you're not from the UK what's yout business with how they're supposed to get their trading partners back? It's their problem to solve, they've made their choice and you must accept it that they don't want to be practically feeding the rest of the union. You have to respect that and stop using condescending words on them. It's not like the rest of Europe is any better, they need the UK just as the UK needs them, they negotiate simple. I'm not bothered because I know they'll always find a way around that and moreover am not from there.


I don't care much of your opinion of trump for several reasons including, am not his son, friend, partner etc.. Am not even an American so if you think he's all that you said well that's your problem. One thing you can't fault are his policies. Call him shi..t call him pi..ss call him anything, dude has the interest of America and Americans at 'heart' and that's all that matters to the voters, not some globalist i.diots. Irrespective of race or anything if I was an American he'd have my vote over and over not some globalist basta..ards looking for how to destabilize the entire world with their warmongering.


And Oh... Clinton..? Trump is an angel when compared to her. That's the only thing I have to say. Go read up about how many people she's killed, alongside their god(Obama)

The rest of Europe does not need the UK. There's nothing in the UK or produced by the UK that Germany and France do not do better. Or Poland and the Czech Republic do not do at a lower cost. It isn't condescending to state the truth. That is why practically every business leader has said that Brexit will be a disaster for the UK, it makes no practical sense. It is why major car manufacturers have all but completely exited the UK.

As for Trump and Clinton both were/are terrible but one (Trump) is worse.

Davash222:
People paint Africa black so they can enjoy life in abroad. I don’t blame them , though.

You think life as a refugee is 'enjoyable'?

Who raised you...

executive12:
So you, as a man, does not have responsibility for raising your kids. Only the mother has that responsibility?
People look for sales girls, generally because the girls are more trust worthy.

Of course I have a responsibilty to my children. That does not negate any of the issues that I have raised. Points that you keep ignoring.

NoGender:
We just need a good President, Senate President, at least twelve good Governors, people that are extremely moral and well to do.

This country would change. On God!

I also think that we need a serious and 'permanent' purge of the previous generation, if you know what I mean. They are beyond redemption.

executive12:
There is rot in the country generally. However, the average Nigerian woman is more responsible than the average Nigerian man. If you look around you, you will see many signs posted by businesses looking for sales girls. You will hardly see ones looking for sales boys. I wonder why.
The girls that are sleeping around are being enticed with money by men.
We constantly read about the sexual harassments of the female students in the Universities by mostly married male lecturers. We rarely read about that of female lecturers against male students. Happens but rare.

They look for sales girls because those girls use the allure of sex to sell. That isn't just Nigeria, that happens everywhere. It has nothing to do with them being more 'responsible'.

And yes, there is a general rot but it begins in almost every household in the nation. Most of these homes are established by women. Women who choose who they marry, where they live, when they have children and how many. Which brings me to my next batch of questions about these 'responsible' women...

Why is the average Nigerian woman not more responsible with her own body? Why is she having 5 children whilst living in poverty? Why do they resort to brutality to raise their children? Why so much corporal punishment?

Why are Nigerian women not shouting for better health care? Cheap or even free contraceptives? All that money that is wasted on pilgrimages and other nonsense could be used to improve the quality of life for the majority, instead Nigerian women are silent and even play into the foolishness.

And why are they so quick to rush to church and give credence to the destructive habits that take place there?

executive12:
Men are obviously more corrupt. Nigeria will definitely be a better place if our women are in charge. In a typical Nigerian home, the girl child is generally given proper training in how to take care of herself and the family. She learns how to sit properly, how to dress appropriately, how to cook, also learns proper personal hygiene. The boy child is left to roam the house and neighborhood, learning nothing useful.
The girl develops into a more responsible woman able to take care of herself and family while the boy develops into a mostly irresponsible man with little useful life skills. A lot of Nigerian men cannot even boil water to make tea.
These are the folks that are saddled with the responsibility of running the country. How can someone that cannot take care of himself be able to take care of a country? That is why Nigeria is messed up. We need to bring in more women into government.

Those girls who you say are taught values and probity are the ones doing runs in our universities and luring other girls into ashawo abroad.

They are the same grown women who take petty bribes from the politicians to either stay home or vote for useless cretins who squander public funds.

The same foolish women who bleach their own skin and think that it makes them look good. They think their weave is attractive and not retarded.

They make up the majority of the foolish congregants that enrich the numerous pastors who spew forth nonsense every Sunday and take a sizable chunk of money from impoverished communities throughout this country. They also drag their own children to these houses of religious fraud so that they might also be inoculated against reason.

They are the ones who are the first teachers of all the crooks and imbeciles who have bespoiled this country. How do you then conclude that they are 'responsible' people?

henryobinna:
I swear. I've replied him.

I get annoyed when people insult trump supporters, it's not like the Hillary lady was an angel or even anywhere better than the Trunp guy.

These people who insult trump supporters themselves are racists and everything they accuse trump supporters of.

Did I accuse him of being a racist? Why is that foremost in your mind?

But I thought women weren't corrupt.

Where are all those women talking nonsense about how the world would be better if everything was managed by women?

henryobinna:
why do you hate people who voted for trump? why do you hate people who want brexit?

do you ever consider their concerns.

Look, the world is not a global village and no, the world is not becoming that anytime soon. Humans are tribal and always would want to look out for their own. They want people who felt their pain and are willing to protect them.

I hate this idea that people who voted for trump are bad. you want to make it look like they're the worst set of people on earth, as such should not be given the right to vote. But yourself want the right to vote in who you think is the right person. Talk about double standards.

Stop feeling you're intellectually superior to people who vote i people you don't like. First thing you should look at and consider is their concerns and what these people they're voting for are willing to do about that.

These trump voters are as good as you(anybody can go here) and they're as bad as you. You're not very much different.
They might be better contributors to the society than yourself.


Lastly, they're not voting stupidly. They're voting for those who will protect them, their rights and their concerns. Always let that sink.

The UK is a small island that got by in the previous centuries by pilfering from countries in the global south. They no longer have the scope/ability to do such. Their major trading partners are their European neighbors. What kind of arrangement do they think they are going to negotiate by trying to go it alone?

And you can't tell me with a straight face that Trump isn't a bumbling, corrupt slowpoke. Hillary isn't perfect (and probably shouldn't have run) but Trump is without doubt significantly worse.

kokomilala:
Lies! Democracy is not entirely alien to Africans.Long before the whites came Africa-at least some parts of Africa had been practising democracy. The Igbo clan system and the Yoruba political structure. Democracy is innate in every mortal. It simply means equal participation by representation.It was not invented by the whites.They only mdernised it.

Yes, in parts of the south south there were elected 'kings', essentially presidents and rule by consensus. It was never a case of hereditary rule as in most of Europa.

But it was not universal suffrage. I don't think that works anywhere. You give the average man a vote and they will vote stupidly. See America with Trump, the UK with Brexit and Brasil with Bolsonaro.

foolbuster:
I have always maintained that democracy does not work in Africa. Africans are simply too complicated for such a simple system as democracy.

Complicated? Or pig headed?

It stems from the peculiar manner in which many Africans manage their households and spreads to everything else. If you use economic and physical violence and brutality to raise your children why would reason and logic work in other areas later in life?

Women of CROSS Rivers

You cannot read. CRS is not the problem, it is the neighboring states and Cameroon that have rates more than double that of CRS.

AlphaStyles:
U know what's funny if macron decides to deport them now European liberals would have taken to the streets protesting saying how can u deport a refugee lolz whites are so gulible they think every migrants coming from Africa or the middle East is a refugee

Depends on which 'whites'.

Some (many) will rejoice, there are others whe are foolish and will argue that the women who have tricked other women into doing olosho are 'victims'.

mamajj17:
Is their ways, Lazy Nigerian Guys in Europe they are every where in Western World ! Lazy Ass

Did you read the article? Half the defendants were women.

qualityovenbake:
This tactics that our forefathers used back then won't work on this generation. Ghost worker that is receiving salary monthly without working should come forward.

What tactics?

What did they do that worked?

They mismanaged all the resources with a much smaller population. How much worse would it be now with the population as it is?

Formularcr7:
You are all mad,all big organization applly for loan to stay afloat in tough time

The issue isn't the loan but what is it going to be used for and how are they going to repay it.

You think Buhari is a man who should be trusted with such?

sodiqapril:
The child no ft know suffer again.....I pray everyday I don't give birth to my children in this country...

You think that children born abroad have no problems?

Third world thinking at its finest.

500k for the father.

NaijaRoyalty:
With or without your stale advice , Ndigbo are already on the right path to success .

What success? Have you driven from Aba to Enugu of late? Or visited Onitsha?

Please seek help.

NaijaRoyalty:
But Tinubu is your personal lord and saviour.

I'm not Yoruba. I don't care about any of this tribal nonsense that you people are obsessed with.

If you want your tribe(s) to be respected build homelands worthy of such. Otherwise be quiet.

NaijaRoyalty:
Igbo, the most successful tribe of Nigeria .

The more they hate us, the more we get fired up to succeed.

The success is just unstoppable .
Their evil policies can never ever stop us from succeeding.

They said they won't give us presidency, yet, we are more successful than their useless hydraulic soup gobbling selves anyday anytime .

Igbo Amaka .

Most successful 'tribe' based upon what?

Nigerians are always beating their chests but don't want to resolve the obvious issues in their LGAs/States/Regions/Country.

Stop the stupid breast beating over petty individual achievements. What you are celebrating will do nothing to alter or improve the state of Nigeria.

YorubaPrince:
You're very correct, bro... The rate at which you see older women, as in older women bleach their skins, I wonder how such a lady gets called a mother. Who the hell are they trying to impress at such age? Shameful Olosho Bastards! How do their kids feel?
I immediately lose respect for ladies that bleach, I just don't know why but, I don't regard them at all.

It's difficult to respect those that hate themselves.

YorubaPrince:
Majority of these 9ja ladies are mentally unfit, I swear. Even the older ones (I mean ladies in their 50s and 60s) dey do dis nonsense everywhere. Go to 9ja parties and see how they've all bleached their common senses away. Aren't they ashamed? WTF?

-

The older women are the worst. Are they not the ones who spread the insecurity that causes these younger women to think that there is something wrong with darker skin?

Otisker:
Bad market, but seriously online shopping is not an African thing (I think) due to fear of being scammed.

People are and will use it because there is money to be made (and saved) doing so.

demoBaba:
Why always Air Peace

Please learn to read. It says British Airways. There's a picture of a BA plane on top of the damn article.

okomile:
Sane country.
Good it returned to Heathrow.
Landing in Abuja is dead trap!

Good one BA!!!!!!

A BRITISH airline's aircraft loses its engine mid flight and you are talking nonsense about 'sane country'

What is sane about that?
