BigBashiru:
They've passed indegene laws before; Nigerians tend to mismanage and ruin companies which is where hiring of foreigners come in. Nigeria and Nigerians have a culture of indiscipline.

The question is whether those laws are actually enforced. You know very well they aren’t. Go to Dubai, every foreign owned corporation has a lazy emirati sitting on the team. It’s a legal requirement and they make sure it is enforced. In Dubai’s case Emiratis don’t even pretend to work, they turn up late and do little and still get paid (because they know the law is on their side). Does Dubai work or not? Exactly...

Also about business you are talking rubbish, I am a GBP multi millionaire from tech and finance in the west. My brother in property.

Sorry I have grown up seeing Nigerians run successful companies, because you don’t know any don’t assume they don’t exist.

One of my friends recently raised 600 million USD in funding for his tech firm. He is Nigerian through and through, he wouldn’t have received funding if he Wasnt such such an excellent software developer..

Sadly the inferiority complex is strong in this complex. I didn’t know so many Nigerians had lost confidence in themselves... so sad..

IF thye come to a country and dont respect people is it not your duty to stand up to them and teach them a lesson? ANyway I no blame una. you dont have a culture of standng up for yourselves. Everybody just walks all over you. THis is the only country where a foreigner comes and you voluntarily call him master. They even have establishments and deny you blacks from entering and you guys are cool with it. YOu are already taking of Uganda as if this incident happened in Uganda. leave the Ugandans and address your own issues.

Oga my father runs an oil business in Nigeria and he has employed Indians. He never liked them as employees and while I don’t share my father’s hatred of them, I have observed their arrogance/racism.

If you say don’t blame the Indians, it is the Nigerians who are at fault. Yes mumu you are being an apologist for Indians.

Also where have I called an Indian master you clown? Like my father some Indians have worked for me and called me boss. That being said they were largely Sikh or Christian and towed the line so I had no issues with them.

They have establishments and deny us from entering huh? What are you? Are you even Nigerian? As I DONT THiNK YOU ARE NIGERIAN, IF NOT THEN BE QUIET!!

Also please tell me where these Indian only establishments are because I have never seen them? I suspect you are lying where is your evidence?

Ugosample:
indeed

black man has programmed himself to destroy himself and others

just look at so much chaos and wickedness in our society

And when we speak up, these so called black power jokers will call for our heads, while the evidence is clear

Speak for yourself Mumu

Jaqenhghar:
1. If Nigerians refused to do the jobs where will they see anyone to maltreat?
2. Niggerians are never united for such. you will see them snitching o each other to the Indians.

bro. Everyman looks out for his own. thats the golden rule anywhere in the world. We prefer to do solo and tear each other down.
MAke we dey do am dey go

Shut your mouth, you arent Nigerian they way you talk..

If you come to a country, you must respect it's native people period.

Indians learnt this the hard way in Uganda.. Some folks dont learn from history..

Jaqenhghar:
Dont blame the Indians. IF Niggerians actually took care of their business no one will come walk all over you. I have worked in organizations where the foreigners are ready to pay very well but its Niggerians that will go and meet the foreigners and say stuff like " Oh you dont need to pay them that much, they can do just fine on a fraction of this amount .... if you give them that much you are spoiling them"

In fact how can you even challenge people you call ' master'

What is this one saying? Indians are notorious for their racism.

They even discriminate by colour amongst themselves.

Pointing out that you can perhaps pay workers less, is just pointing out the correct wage level. It is the same in any country, especially developing ones..

However showing less care for your workers as you view them as racially inferior is quite another thing.

Sorry oga dont be an apologist for Indian racism. If I had my way, all foreign company owners would be subject to the strict indigene laws that mean that half of the company should be owned by a native Nigerian..

Mtchew saying dont blame Indians mumu..

What's new? Useless region.... Mtcheww…

Nnamdi Kanu may have been wrong about a lot of things, but he was spot on that the North is the cause of a lot of our problems..

Rosskii:
So Oyinbo treats you like this yet you still found the mouth to be abusing Nigeria the way you were doing?

Nonsense.

Foolishness is foolishness, especially when it comes to you

One thing I learnt in the west is to call a spade a spade.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it is a duck...

You talk like a mumu, make foolish points like a mumu, so you must be a ....

Good night..

Rosskii:
Oh get lost. You know, I wish people like you would similarly hate Nairaland just as you hate Nigeria, and refuse to come here and mix with us. Dumb idiot.

Still wrong I visit Naija every year. But as a tokumbo I can see what is right and wrong with Nigeria.

The dullard certainly isnt a good thing for Nigeria.

Sowore was a good chance for Nigeria, but the people were unwilling to take it..

Sorry I cant hate Nigeria or its people as I would be hating myself. Does Yoruba blood not flow through my veins? Did my my forefathers also not pray to Chukwu...?

I am probably more Nigerian than you, because I live as a foreigner in a far away and cold land. You live amongst our people, you feel like you belong. I am told everyday by Oyinbo I do not belong no matter my achievements..

mtcheww.. mumu..

lionness:
You sound pained. Even in America, regions that doesn’t vote Trump is treated with paucity of federal funds.
You can’t tell a president you passionately hate him and send this message despite his immense effort to win your hearts over. The SE can wait until GEJ or Atiku becomes president in 2095!

Fortunately I live in London in the UK..

I am only half Igbo as I am half Yoruba..

No developed country functions like this. Huge transfers of money go from the South of England to the Poorer North of the country. Eventhough regions like Scotland have flirted with independence very recently...

Nigeria will continue to be failed nation until investment goes to where it is needed..

Listening to people like you proudly showing their ignorance and defending the status quo, reminds me why my family made the correct decision to leave in the 1970s....

fools..

Ttipsy:
when will they revive the eastern railways. pH, Aba, calabar Enugu, Onitsha, or are we not part of Nigeria?

Unfortunately the Dullard rules with tribalism very much at the front of his brain. So the order of investment is

Hausa/Fulani
Loyal Yoruba
Disloyal Igbo

Until Nigeria works for all, regardless of ethnic background, that railway probably wont be built for sometime..

Yet most of you voted Buhari back in, fools....

Pointguardusa:
I AM A SUCCESS BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND I AM ALSO PRUDENT. I HAVE A BOOK WHERE I ENTER ALL MY DAILY INCOME. EVERY SINGLE NAIRA. I'VE BEEN DOING THAT SINCE JULY 2015.

Good stuff, I wish you all the best. Btw my contacts are in the UK and are only for Athletics and Football...

Pointguardusa:
I believe you can reason well. I AM NOT DOING IT FOR THE MONEY OR STUFF. JUST TOO MUCH PASSION. DOING WHAT YOU LOVE IS WHAT MAKES ONE TRULY SUCCESSFUL NOT MONEY.

My brother by all means play ball, but finish your studies so you have a back up..

I personally was never good at sports so maybe I am biased. But as I mentioned I have friends who went pro and one of them is now in real estate because he ripped his Achilles’ tendon. The other is now in banking due to multiple back injuries, were it not for their education both of them would have gone straight to the poor house...

Also if you do succeed in sports be wise with your cash. So many young black men blow their earnings on overly lavish spending and foreign women. If you avoid those pitfalls then more power to you.

In truth I don’t mind how my people succeed, but I wish more of us pushed forward in tech or science. As then they can not only bring themselves up but also fellow Nigerians...

let us not fight, but appreciate your studies. How many Agberos or Amijaris would jump at the chance of a University education, you have that chance all I am saying is don’t waste it....

Useless country, thank god my parents had the foresight to leave..

The APC was in control when this debacle occurred, yet you people voted them in again?

Nigerians are clowns.. Sorry little ones RIP, you were born into a country of short sighted and greedy fools..

Patrick33:
brother,i don't judge people..whatever they do its their cup of tea..legit or not legit..there are monetised pages on instagram and twitter..M not trying to support her....just saying whatever she does its not supposed to be anybodys headache.

If it seems to good to be true it usually is..

I have seen enough women who sleep around for money who then act as if the source of their money is legitimate..

I remember one girl who was a high class prostitute.. Unless you knew her, you would never know...

Eventually she set up a successful bakery business, but the initial money she made was from bleeping..

She was beautiful too, like I said I have seen too much to believe her story..

Pointguardusa:
Who says I'm not educated . You clearly lack sense . Getting a degree doesnt make you educated. I'm also learning computer programming so shut it.

My brother I know Java, Javascript, Unix, Sybase and Oracle...

There is a massive gulf between learning a language and being a great developer who can write great code..

There will always be more well paid work globally as a software engineer than as a basketball player..

You can work from Tokyo to New York as a Java Developer.. How many well paid basketball players are there globally especially outside of America..

Study your book.... Basketball my foot..

....

Fool..

Patrick33:
Lol...mehn the guys on nairaland get issues o..like this pained brothers above me.. ,

Is he wrong though..? I can count on one hand serious money makers from social media here in the UK and US..

KSI is one and he has been at it for years. He posts about two videos a week. Always coming up with new ideas, in short he works very very hard.

Some girl claims she has earned enough to buy a custom merc from Instagram? Excuse me but I to am sceptical...

She has a older male sponsor nothing more...

RIP to the dead..

But your much lauded APC is too blame.

If you dont enforce building standards and rule of law this is what happens...

Nigerians Mtchew....

Pointguardusa:
Good day people .

I am a student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University from Abuja . I am currently studying law but it has been a drag that even goes as far as affecting my mental health. I hate doing it and my dream is to play basketball professionally but my parents have kinda stood in the way. My play was to take the SATs and play college basketball but that's looking like a far cry.

I keep believing every day that something will change but right now it feels like my life should just end.
I need a place where I can perfect my skills(like an academy of some sort) until I go professional. I'm tired of not doing what I love. Pls can you be of help to me?

Study your book, build the next facebook and give up your foolish dreams of basketball...

I live in the west most black sportmen go broke within 5 years of retirement..

Money withourt education equals foolishness...

Nigerians/Africans and low hanging fruit... Mtchew..

Simbrixton:
smh those people are actually wise and you foolish since jimi agbaje started playing ethnic politics and threatening local population with ethnic cleansing tinubu has become a hero and after him aregbesola will continue

Well time will tell..

in a few years when nothing has improved we will see who is foolish...

Mtchew..

Simbrixton:
why do you go home every year sef u dey give all this afonja pipo mouth Abuja is better

Because home is home. I am not white, I know many Nigerians here in the UK who have turned their backs on Naija.. I will never be one of them..

My family are from Lagos not Abuja. I want to see Lagos reach it destiny as a great world city..

But we need better leaders than Sanwo and we need to get rid of corrupt individuals like Tinubu..

blingxx:
Keep chestbeating if your state governor didn't keep you in poverty you won't leave your region to hustle in another persons land

I live in London, as my family fled Naija (Ikoyi to be precise) in the 70s/80s...

So yes as a Londoner I can chest beat

I go home every year, Lagos is nothing to boast about..

wowcatty:
Tinubu, the godfather who loves his land and people, the modern day protector of Yoruba race.

Tinubu loves the naira in Lagosian pockets nothing more....

He would gladly keep you in poverty if it enriches himself...

nickxtra:
How has Tinubu held Lagos not to grow? Is the Tinubu holding other states or cities?

From the Lekki-Epe Expressway and Lekki Bridge Toll money being Siphoned off by Tinubu..

To the numerous property development projects awarded to his crony companies.

Tinubu has strangled Lagos and hindered it's development.

The money wasted on these overly expensive inflated projects would be enough to finance a proper power system and a basic sewage system for Lagos..

Yet you sit here and defend the Jagaban.. Mtcheww...

wow, he was actually awake, maybe his second term will be different...

NOETHNICITY:
It is possible that ur gbadamosi was overlooked as a result of his irrelevance as lagosians re likely aware he lacks what it takes to be the governor of Lagos State

I hope you are right, but I doubt it..

nickxtra:
And I don't think Agbaje could have turned Lagos to any of the cities above

My brother here in the UK Nigerians hold their own intellectually with Jews, Indians, Lebanese and the cleverest of whites.

If we can do that abroad, why cant we produce a first class commercial city back home..??

Bad and corrupt leadership that is why.

If Tinubu died tomorrow, Lagos would change for the better probably instantly..

I tell you..

zoedew:
Obasanjo did Lagos much harm in its bid to make power available 24/7. That man will have his comeuppance shortly!

Bros tell me about it..

How can you spend billions and have nothing to show for it..

That man is a disgrace to all Yoruba..

Dareal90s:
So debate now make a state develop, or does debate put food on our table? Continue listening to debate filled with well written nd crammed lies, we don't want debate, we want action.

Unlike Sanwo, Gbadamosi, has developed huge swathes of Lekki successfully. Also the estates he build dont flood and people are happy to live in..

Beyond being another Tinuba stoge, what has Sanwo done..?? Nothing..

Pele in advance..

poundlander:
Sanwo is a governor not an English teacher or linguistic tailor. Mr. Stitches

I dont care, I would never let man who can barely speak, manage my home affairs let alone my city...

Nigerians and foolishness, you deserve everything that comes to you..
