So some people actually believe that protesters broke prison. Smh!

How? From the videos, the prisoners were released from inside and they scaled the fence to escape. Who provided them with the leverage they needed to escape from inside?

Someone inside the prisons took advantage of the protests to perfect a job they had been hatching for long.

Phraences:
This protest is turning into something else. I hope the protesters don't lose their advantage and goodwill.

Illegal migrant abuse.

No sane country has her kids being labourers at age 11.

Nigsrdumb:
You haven't achieved much, too much inequality in the country

The youths must make life miserable for comfortable saboteurs , who are happy with the status quo.

I'm on thier side , a country where an eleven year old works has a labourer and the politicians earning salaries unheard of.

Don't hate the country, hate the system.

ahiboilandgas:
The protest must have vision and mission,I have been attending several of this protests and found out that there are many underlying issues above just reform Sars.....WAR/civil unrest is not good strategy to achieve anything....youth can now channel this new found energy to vote out this old men that have put the Nation in misery via endless looting ,nepotism ,divide and rule tactics...and alway be there as a pressure group to demand that things are done right ....but in getting new young leaders we should be careful not to produce another dino,yahaya bello and co ....the recently remove NANS is an example using benz x class as official car .....the human resource to drive a new Nigeria is not available until the youth also scrap the mentality of wealth without work ,over night riches,fraud etc .....am amazed somebody called yahoo yahoo a business..

TransAtlanticEx:
What if I told you to sell your papa house and invest the proceeds from the sale in your so called investment so that you can have the 2.2m all to yourself and enjoy the christmas with your family.

Any black person who doesn't have a goal to see Africa great ain't an ally.

I know Nigeria has problems, let's divide ourselves into group's and start tackling them.

Most of the problems solved in Europe were done by industrialists and scientists not the president's.

Buhari is 1000 times better than his predecessors, but he's is definitely not doing enough, a lot of the hindrance is coming from those working with him and the useless state governments and yes citizens.

Instead of bothering us with constant Western propaganda, which i know is false ,

Here are your options

Revolt
Elect people who will serve
Disintegrate the country structurally
Tackle persistent issues using community standards

Sick of the constant complaining without actions.

DexterousOne:
I wont put it exactly the way you put it

Even though you are right

How I would put it, is that America gives you the financial incentive to be fiscally irresponsible
And if you go down that road
You will have yourself to blame

When there is nothing wrong with the tv and game console you bought say 10 months ago
Why do you see the need to buy another one?
Especially as you can barely afford it

Your current iPhone is still very functional
And its not even up to 22 months since it was released
Then all of a sudden you want to ditch that one and get another

Or a lower income person see the need to periodically change his car and get stuck with a $400 car note

Which kind destructive psychology be this ?

I think one of the best things to happen to anybody is when he gets a grip of his finances and consumption patterns.
And live by the motto :
Spend less than you make
And if you cant afford it
Dont buy it

It's a good lesson that takes one far

theoilguy:
The arguments for or against being abroad will never end because basically, both countries are not the same.. however, what people must understand is that living abroad is basically a bubble and only a very small percentage of Nigerians are really happy or fulfilled.

Case in point, I was watching cnn a couple of days ago and they mentioned Trump was ending discussions regarding another bailout to citizens. The anchor clearly said 7 out of. 10 families will be unable to feed by the end of October unless the bailout deal is agreed.

This is the part I do not understand, For a society that is supposedly the dream of everyone, why is it so hard to have savings? Covid started and just a few weeks after, people were begging for food and queuing for food stamps..

This simply means that a vast majority of Americans or whites simply live from paycheck to paycheck and can only afford many things through credit.. it also means a vast majority is groaning under the weight of outrageous bills and utilities.

The average middle class nigerian has millions saved up in his account.. That is in the thousands of dollars and would likely survive even without a job for many months..

My submission is that the system is designed for you to make money, spend it all on bills, live on credit and get stuck working almost forever.:

Nigeria has its ills, plenty self but if I have good money, I would not consider staying abroad on any single metric... Billionaires abound in nigeria and they are not complaining..

My two cents!

Tobex4realTobex234:
And forget all those kidnapping and health jargon, majority of people (especially in their 20's - 30's) leave for economic reasons.

There is high unemployment in Nigeria, and even if you were hardworking, there is a dearth of opportunities.

That said, there exists a small percentage that wants to leave because of other secondary reasons like security, health, passport e.t.c but a huge chunk wan japa because of money.

The same way young boys leave the East to come to Lagos to hustle is the exact same way people leave Nigeria to the abroad. I once worked in Kano and had people tell me they can't relocate to Kano because of security and so on. I was shocked to see them resume when my company gave some of them an offer.

Na money everybody they find. From 2face to Burna Boy to Davido, even as they seek international appeal, are all predominantly based in Nigeria.

Every other thing is secondary, don't let anyone bobo you on a faceless forum.

Do whichever makes sense for you, but don't force your opinion on other people.

Let those that want to stay, stay.
Let those that want to go, go.
Let those that are abroad and want to come, come.

ultron12345:
Lol... It seems Abdulsamad Rabiu's strategy at BUA group is "Copy Dangote". Dangote went into sugar and flour. They did same. Dangote sold his flour business. They did same. Dangote is into cement. They did same (at least, this broke the myth that government will kill destroy anyone who tries to enter cement business to protect dangote). Now, they recently gave out contract to a French company to build a 200,000bpd refinery in Akwa Ibom.

Reminds of one business case I came across a while back about MacDonalds and one other restaurant company (I think its Pizza Hut). Pizza Hut waits for McDonald's to do all the business and site analysis and immediately MacDonalds open a new branch, Pizza Hut does same and opens a branch opposite them.

Tabuse2024:
I recently started reading about it. Quite revealing. Given your experience, how would you have suggested she went about sharing equity in order to prevent her current situation?

I have done a bit of reading too on some experiences of a few tech startup under pressure due to VC equity injected into their business. I am not sure i[b]f I am right, but I think I once read a blog post from Jason Njoku where he wrote that if given another chance, he would not take VC money and consider bootstrapping while reinvesting income for growth. [/b]

Your thoughts, emmanuelewumi?

emmanuelewumi:
Is anyone following the brouhaha between Health Plus and a Private Equity Investor concerning the takeover of her company by the PE guys?

maishai:
You can never move from a rice importer to producing your own rice without major hiccups....... The learning curve is a physical law which all Nigerians have to appreciate and our leaders too should encourage Nigerians to patronize made in Nigeria to enable the manufacturers leap over the learning curve.....

You can never compete with Thailand and India in Rice which their people have farmed for generations and built a world class industry around it in just 10 years.....

The Govt need to beg Nigerians to eat local rice or source local alternative while we work at self reliance........... They also need to practice what they preach,it's not when a government official that want to bury his mother in the village is using federal might to bring in Thai rice for the ceremony........ What kind of message can such an official be passing to the general populace

ojesymsym:
Which TV station I wan use? BBN is ridding on Multichoice, where I wan start my own? NTA?
lol

missjekyll:
I went to a catholic school from nursery school to SS3. I credit my special Science School for the reading culture which has been my go-to till today.

ojesymsym:
Not really, your suggestions is like telling me to open a similar site like nairaland or Facebook, it is hard to dismiss a strong competitor like BBN, with all their already existing resources and structure.
I am trying to think like an American on how to plug myself in somewhere to the already existing BBN structure.

Right now, banks I believe earn some parts of the money, sms resellers earn some, etc... there has to be place to plug in somewhere.

missjekyll:
No it wasnt. You were obviously listing catholic schools in Nigeria. I m impressed actually. I didnt know they were so many.

Nigsrdumb:
I'm thinking Noah's ark should do the job

Nigsrdumb:
Excellent thanks.

Self awareness is a big issue.

You want to conquer an already developed place but can't see any opportunities in a barren land.

The middle class Nigerians are supposed to be the light of Nigeria , but they can't see beyond their noses.

They chase westernisation instead of modernity.

Clean your environment, plant trees , fix a persistent issue , do the simple things first. Mba that's too much.

The world is telling us what we have to do, but them no dey hear word.
