because a system is mirred in coruption and mis management is not a proof that the system does not work - isint that simple reasoning enough?

@ LADY

So because it worked in America is a simple proof that it will work in Nigeria? Please back up this with empirical eveidence that it will work in Nigeria.

And to those people that says what we have now doesnt work - please explain why you think it doesnt work - or even what do you mean by it doesnt work.

People just talk because talk is cheap.

Colabo - your stinky arsehole.

whats unfair there - poster? Do you have to insinuate people give bribe before they make it here?

This is what we are saying - other people come to our country Nigeria because they see the possibiity of making money in billions of dollars and taking it back to their country - but Nigerians themselves see nothing good in their country - they say - how can you make it in Nigeria - and they run abroad - they run abroad to do those kind of jobs that they can't do at home - they are so lazy they can't think of how to make use of their brain and hands to work for economic gain - so they run away - and they stay away and begin to throw stones, missiles etc at the country -

Just look at the majority of those who talk evil of Nigeria on NairaLand - they are people who live outside the country -

S I am telling you, as long as Nigerians themselves see nothing good in their country and think it is dead and forgotten, then thats the same time it will take for South Africans, Indians, Chinese, Lebanese, etc to come to Nigerian - reap the gains and cart the money back to their country.

Mother bleeping goats - even if Bush orders the killing of all blacks in America - the so called American Nigerians will still support him and say - oh - worse can happen in my country Nigeria -


How stupid is it for the so called American Nigerians to see everything good in the evil done in America but every good done in Nigeria - their country - is seen as an evil.

Well, if they mean so much to the success of the country - they wont leave in the first place.

what a question? 1000 naira.

white President? Better? Says who? and watch him bring all his white folks to come in and rule Nigeria - watch how white police will come and kill all black Nigerians and watch how every black Nigerian whill be hounded in jail -

what a kangaroo republic America is - all hail America - the land of the free - the land of human rights - the land to free speech - the land and home to Nigerians - f cuk America and f cuk the white dominated system. Try that in Nigeria and see what happens - fools.

I can now see the reasoning of the people who dont live in Nigeria are certainly warped and demented. How can someone insinuate or postulate that because each state in America issues a driver's license, hence it should be the same in Nigeria? Is the American law that allows each state to have a different legal system the same in Nigeria? Each state should have their own police force in Nigeria as is done i America - because its done in America that way - does it justify that it should be done in Nigeria - even when there is nothing in the law of the land that calls for that?

say it just as you feel - she can only say yes or no - common - she wont behead u.

How did South Africa enter this issue?

Obviously the guy didnt know - kai -

naijababi:
don't understand why nigerians choose to still remain in south africa really,  its not by force they dnt really like us  soo,  leave their country simple!!!

Bro - its not only South Africa - before they start abusing you.

bawomolo:
i'm sorry, the aviation record of Nigeria is horrible but the first that gets investigated is the customer service of foreign airlines. does that make sense to you??

And what you have written makes any sense to you? So because your house is leaking now - and there is a fault with your electiricty, you will because your house is leaking, leave out the fact that you also have to sort your electiricity problem?

How do people reason like a fish so?

havent you heard about the Yoruba proverb -? It says - it is a fool who pile up and save money just to become rich -

Dont you know the bible also talks about that?

almondjoy:
I personally will wait patiently for death. . . and hope it will occur before the end of the world. I see no hope. The people are too wicked. . .even to themselves!

Short of transplanting the "senses and sensibilities" of the typical Nigerian to learn to do the right things. . . it is a hopeless cause. We are too selfish and wicked to ourselves. The most annoying part is that they would worship and sing praises and give thanksgiving. . .to celebrate their lives and celebrate the deaths of others in the same breath!

Those illiterates are fond of saying things like "it is not my portion in Jesus name". . . I just feel like slapping the hell out of them in annoyance. Whose portion is it for crying out loud?

Facinating creatures!

You dont have to wait for death - you might as well shoot your head off and see if Nigeria will not be happy for that -

@Labiyemmy

Can you modify the aplication to include traffic information so that users can at least be warned of traffic ahead?

whats wrong with the President making life and things easy for the people he rules over? Some postings are simply very mind boggling.

4 Him:
poor comparison on your part. Nigeria is roughly the size of Texas, by simple law of proportions crime rate in the US will be higher than that of Nigeria.

So - why the noise that it cant be so? You have said it - crime rate in the US will be higher than that in Nigeria - thank you.

@labiyemmy

Say a word to these buffons -

Pls call me - I got a breakthru for you.

@texapete

hmmmmmmmmmmm, no mind d homo felow njoy, what d Bleep is she njoyin,she actually rubbed her nose in mud,by sayim "I WORK IN A TOP BANK"who caressssssssssssss .

and guy tanks 4 your reply, people nid 2 be more elaborate on d tins dey say, so it doesnt sound fraudulent in nature,

You dont have anything to say - you live in Akure of all places - which kind of techie guy are you? I bet you need to come to the western world and see what up - rather than stay in your Akure - where is Akure anyway? Bush boy.

texazzpete:
Boys and Girls, take a good look at the post quoted above. That's Arse-kissing done right!!

N-joy, next time you want to brag about something, don't say anything as silly as 'i work in a top bank'. Post consolidation, ALL major banks in Nigeria are pretty healthy. Not to mention that the so-called 'top banks' are usually the most miserly when it comes to pay. We all know people making N70k monthly in UBA.
Speak to the 'top management' all you like. Eventually someone with more sense than you have will realise three important facts make this a silly idea.

1. The easiest way to locate bank branches and ATMs is to simply ask the nearest okada man
2. All these points of interest will be covered when Google maps inevitably maps major nigerian cities
3. how many people will pay for this? is your bank planning to give the map to all customers? Pay for licenses for thousands of Nigerians?

So, how does his butt cheeks taste?

@Poster
Stop being childish. people have the right to ask questions about commercial apps, especially when you word your article in a way that suggests your app is illegal.
Laziness has always been the bane of Nigerian programmers. Upload a video of what your app can do on youtube so people can be convinced. When you can't be bothered to place screenshots of your app in your ad, it says a lot about your commitment to your trade.

This talk coming from someone who claims to be a programmer is not only lewd, it is very meaningless and very irresponsible in thinking - I guess you feel u r nothing by the fact that I work in a top bank - yes - your mind is so little that you think all banks are on the same pedestal in Nigeria -

Secondly, if you say you are a programmer, or you are a scientist, and all you can say is that the best way to find something is to ask an okada, then I wonder how you think - in that case - noone needs the so called software that you produce - where is it anyway - because there will always be alternatives - buffon -

How many people will pay for it? - You must be a pauper - eating from the crumbs of the dustbin - hence you think noone can afford what you cant afford

Well, I am not the poster - and I am sure you havent seen the application - so go wipe your arse with sand paper - Google map Nigerian cities? Well, untill then I gues the poster would have made his money -

You are summrised as a yob - nothing else.

crisp:
I think we need to put things in perspective.

-First, let's define 'crime' in the context of the topic, so that there are no ambiguities. Is the focus on 'big time crime'e.g Murders, kidnapping etc or both petty and big time crime. If the latter is the case, then i may be constrained to agree that as far as petty crimes are concerned, Nigeria has a higher crime rate. While for major crimes like killings, the western world reigns supreme.

True, we have bad data system on crime. True too, even the ones available may not be totally reliable, yet we can discern certain things from simple observation. I do not need figures or statistics to tell me the following:

- A significant proportion of murders commited in the west are racism-inspired - someone just despising the color of another. It is a strong war in the Western world. While Nigeria is not without its share of tribal strifes, this cannot be compared with what obtains in the western world. Nigerains would less likely kill or maim because of differeince in color or race

- A look at some major crimes commited in the Western world (e.g a teenager taking his school mates hostage and eventually killing them and self, random shootings in public places etc) show that suicidal tendencies are more prominent there than in Nigeria. With that kind of tendency,u can expect crime to thrive more. These kind of killings are rampant there. How many suicidal killings by demented souls have u heard of in Nigeria? What is the likelihood that a Nigerian kid would take to killing innocent people on the street to express his abhorence for the fact that he was bullied in school, or of a system/decision or whatever? Slim. The motive and orientation sometimes makes the difference.

-I strongly believe that our value system, take it or leave it, is still much stronger

Thanks Crisp - but look at the general statistics in a year -

1,417,745 - violent
9,983,568
17,034 - murder
92,455 - rape
447,403 --- robbery
862,947 - assault
2,183,746 ---- burglary
6,607,013 ------theft
1,192,809 -----vehicle theft

That means - in a year - the total crime committed accross America is 22, 804, 720 -

So - dont embelish it - crime is crime - big or small - so you are saying that in Nigeria - in on single year - there would have been 22million crimes committed across the country - common - Nigeria is bad - as they will want us to beleive - we agree - but not to the level where there will be a total 23million rapes, murder, theft, burglary, vehicle theft, roberry all summed together in one year. Hey come on!!!!.

A country where 17, 034 people were killed in one single year - when there is no war - can not be assumed to be a safe country - embelish it with half truths in any way you like it -

and whats wrong with that??

meaningless thread.

someone is trying to change the topic -

its not about crime being reported or not - its about a glaring reality that crime is worse in America/UK than in Nigeria -

People say how can you compare Nigeria with America/Uk/Europe in terms of good things but these same people are glad to compare Nigeria with America/UK/Europe in terms of crime and bad things - na wao -

what a life these people live.

tboy1:
What is the figure?

Now am I not surprised? well - i gat better things to do - I see - its true - some people have eyes but will never see with them.

tboy1:
Please how many people do u think r murdered in Nigeria in a year? Give me an average figure

Look at the Nigerian crime staistics supplied earlier - and see for yourself - but alas - you will not beleive the figures - because it is Nigerian.


All hail Nigeria - no matter what the people say - you as a black person cant even go to some areas in the UK/America - the cops will bundle you in jail - it only takes one old whie woman to make that call - and u sit there in your comfort zone thinking you are safe - go on the bus in London - you dare tell someone he/she is playing his music loud and you get knifed or shot just because you are asking him to turn his music down - leave your 6 year old daughter on the street and she gets raped by a 40 year old man - leave your car in your drive way and it gets broken into just because they want to remove the tape - make phone calls and you get slapped and your phone taken from you - if you havent experienced these thigs - then shut the f up and go to sleep - but when you do - then you will run back to where u belong - quick.

tboy1:
hahahahaha although this is a serious issue i had to laugh at your post. R u for real?!!!!

How many car accidents which inventually leads to passengers and drivers killed, do we have in a month in Lagos?
How many hit and run cases which inventually leads to people dying, do we have in a month in Lagos?
How many people are kidnapped and never found in Lagos in a month?
How many Armed robbers attack homes in Lagos in a Month week?
How many people are stabbed during argument in Lagos in a month?
How many people are shot by the Police in a month in Lagos?

Answer it for yourself - boy thick lips.

How many under aged people carry knifes and guns on the streets of Lagos - u live in the UK -

some people do actually talk out of their anus.
