Hmmm... This Abacha loot nor dey finish?

The level of sycophancy amongst our youths is truly disturbing.

tosscash1:
YORUBAS ARE THE ENEMIES PERIOD!
I HAVE NEVER HD ANY PROBLEM WITH AN HAUSA MAN IN MY LIFE!
BUT YORUBA PPLE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO QUARREL ME

At the slightest provocation or even non-provocation, hausa almajiris slaughter Igbos in the north. Never in my life have I heard of Igbos or Yorubas killing themselves; all we hear of are cat and dog quarrels and online fights like 2 silly wives married to the same chief.

In view of the above, for any Igbo (/Yoruba) man to actually think that Yorubas (/Igbos) are his problem and not the north, such a reasoning is the exact foolishness which the Op is trying to point out.

Yass!

Yesterday, I was having a nice chat with my friend
After watching Buhari’s interview in Aljazeera and reading
Comments on NL. So we were joking about how Nigeria
Will be like if it is Islamized and sharia implemented. Here's some of the jokes we shared.
NB:They are scary but true.

1. No more brazillian hair for the ladies. Whats the need since it will be covered in hijab anyway, and nobody will be brave enough to sell such.

2. No women driving cars anymore lol. Na koboko certificate be dat

3. Women can no longer go out without permission and assistance of a close male unless she likes koboko

4. If you are a woman and you are raped, you will receive 54 lashes of koboko and jailed for 6 months for putting the guy in temptation

5. No more ass shaking girls in Olamide’s videos

6. Timaya’s head will be cut off for morally degrading the society with his bum bum video as well as other artists such as Iyanya kukere and Davido fans mi (drugs)

7. All baby mamas’ head will be cut off

8. No more choosing your own spouse. What’s the need since you already have been betrothed to one guy like that who can still marry other women if he likes

9. If you sit in public with Shiite Muslims, koboko for you

10. If you shake hands with a woman, na koboko for you

11. No more pastors preaching in the streets, dem no born you well?

12. Christians will become third class citizens after the Shiites in second class. Therefore if a first class guy slaps you in broad daylight, he is right. Any objections, visit the sharia court.

13. Nigeria will no longer be Nigeria because it will be renamed to the name of “the saint that did everyone good by enforcing Islam”. Just like the Al-Saud family renaming the country to Saudi Arabia. If you have any objections, present your back first.

14. If Olamide won’t sing ONLY songs of praise for Allah, then he should go and sleep. Otherwise he should submit his back for proper lashing to remind him of where he is.

15. To cure konji go be only for the Emirs and sultans.

16. To go ashawo go be only for the royal family in the UK. If you try am, your head go disappear.

17. Bombings will become a normal thing all over the country and not just in the north.


If you have more suggestions, bring it on. Let’s keep the fun going.

Lol... na to pack load go Ghana then.

[size=14pt]But on a serious note, only a capital slowpoke would believe that Buhari can actually achieve this kind of transformation as a democratic president in a Nigeria.[/size]

Even if he was a maximum military dictator in the ranks of Idi Amin, he would actually need to be an almighty god to be able to achieve this.

Gbam!

ExAngel007:
Facebook user, Owopetu Abiola, has shared photos of an
helicopter built by an unidentified man in Oyo state.
He posted the photos on his page with the caption: ‘ ‘This
Helicopter is a handiwork of a very gentle man in a little village

This is a very fake report originating from the stables of some idiotic blog. The motive behind this concoction is to ridicule the person of GEJ who is peacefully enjoying his forced retirement.

BushidoBlue:
Highly illogical
Can't pick up a form worth #27million, is broke with less than #1million in account, has no property... then suddenly boom, I can afford it, I have one land in PH.... bla bla bla...

I mean come on, we aren't zombies here, are you?

Just like I said earlier, that someone can raise 4-5 million per year for school fees etc, that doesn't mean he can just dip his hands in his pocket and cough out N27 million at an instance. Even a primary school pupil knows the difference between 5 and 27.

iamrealdeji:
how much should be 27m to someone sponsoring kids abroad, and this has to do with his ambition,his desire,he had the money,in fact that would be the first for him to raise

That someone can raise 4 or 5 million per year to train his kids abroad, that does not mean he can dip his hands in his wallet and dig out N27 million at an instance to purchase a form. I don't think any normal person needs an explanation for this straight forward logic.

Validated:
So our reserves are good for subsidising pilgrimages and buying exotic cars? Do you use your brains at all or are you politically blinded that you cannot reason well again?
Does Buhari buy forex at black market for his children education? Use your brain,it is not just a mass of protoplasm

So what exactly is your point? That because Buhari has his children abroad or he buys his official cars abroad, then the right thing to do is also to extend that privilege to all Nigerians and crash the nation to zilch in seconds?

I thought a more worthy argument should have been about the government banning those pilgrimages and purchase of exotic cars instead of calling for the government to subsidise school fees for the rich?

maverickdude:
I undastnd u clearly..but y cant d government subsidize forex for education sinx dey do subsidize forex for irrelevant things?

The nation is suffering a financial crisis due to a lack of forex; Nigeria is presently suffering from a negative balance of trade with more forex going out than coming in. The CBN and president are struggling to manage this situation by banning all bannable items and subsidising forex for only essentials like fuel, raw materials etc. If only God will open your eyes to see what can happen to a nation if it runs out of forex, you wouldn't be accusing and abusing the CBN and president for trying to rescue your life. WHat are the irrelevant things been subsidised?

anath:
Everything he said was right, but by now I taught me would hav relocated all his children schs to Nigeria for study. We hav good private universities that can help deliver excellent result. This is time everyone I patronizing made in Nigeria goods irrespective of quality now cos over time we will grow to quality. He should lead by example sir. I no longer trust him... . GEJ children sch here in Nigeria irrespective of our resources then.

In every society, there are rich and poor people. Unfortunately in Nigeria, we have a battered educational system and every rich person (who can afford it) desires to send their wards to school overseas. With the forex shortage crisis, this implies that it has become more expensive for parents to train their children abroad, however, those who can still afford it can still do by spending some extra cash.

The bottom line of the argument on this thread is basically that Buhari should subsidise school fees payment for 'rich' people who have their kids studying abroad and who now find it a bit more expensive to keep up. The big question then is, if Buhari depletes the nation's reserves to subsidise school fees for 'rich' people, do you think this will be a fair policy to the children of tens of millions of average middle class and children of the poor who school in Nigeria?

About Buhari having his children studying overseas, the bitter truth is that he has the money; forget the story about Buhari being poor, he may not be as rich as most governors or ministers or state commissioners or oil tycoons, but remember, even his military pension and ex-head of state pension is more than enough to make him a rich and comfortable man who can train his wards overseas. About GEJ's children studying in Nigeria, that's a different ball game cos his kids are still young and in secondary school. Let's wait and see him send his little boy to Federal University Otuoke or UNIPORT before we judge on that.

Much ado about nothing. Nigerians always work themselves out over non-issues. What is the business of anyone if Dino decided to fly or drive or ride or walk to a hospital?

Is it everything that must be criticised?

maverickdude:
He made sense,if they cn provide forex for importaion of cars..i c no reason y forex shud nt b made available for more important thing whch is education
You my nigga man

Does the CBN subsidise the FX for importation of cars?
The argument here is that the CBN doesnt subsidise dollars at official rate (N197) for school fees payment.

Much ado about nothing. Buhari obviously wasnt blessed with diplomatic or sugarcoated speech but in all, there is nothing strange about what he said.

The country is going through a financial crisis, the CBN is subsidising FX to only importers of essential commodities and individuals paying for school fees abroad is obviously not listed as one of those essentials. So what is strange about what the president said?

If the president should subsidise foreign school fees, then he must also subsidise FX rates for all importers including toothpick and then we all sit back and watch Nigeria plunged into economic oblivion when our FX reserves fall to zero because we are all mumus who do not know how to prioritise.

Obviously the anger is that his own children study abroad even when he claimed he couldnt afford party nomination forms. But only a mumu will compare N27m at an instance to the money it cost for school fees spread over a period.

Another silly thread where silly people come to expose their ignorance.

When PMB complained about the judiciary slowing down his corruption fight, some mumus claimed he was trying to be a tyrant. If PMB interferes and forces the judiciary to expedite trials, the same mumus will say PMB is being a dictator by interfering with the independence of the judiciary.

Now it is the same mumus that are celebrating that no one has been found guilty, even though it is clear that court cases are still ingoing. Sometimes I just wonder if some people were cursed with daftness.

A lot of people including the Op are just mentioning bad roads they've been through recently.

The Abuja Kaduna road is riddled with potholes, but that road should never be listed as a bad road according to Nigerian standards.

The benin sagamu road is still bad between ore and sagamu. But it isnt so bad when compared with how the benin to ore section was prior to 2014.

If anyone must talk of bad roads, from my own experience, the roads in the SE can make a person run mad; Onitsha-enugu road, PH-Owerri road (between elele and owerri), Aba-Ikot-ekpene (just one not too long stretch) etc. Sometimes you just wonder how most of these roads could have been built by corrupt military men when Nigeria was 'poor,' but several democratic presidents for over a decade enjoying massive oil wealth could not even patch these roads.

These IPOB people and their paranoid mentalities have infested and wrecked this thread as usual with tribal rants.

When I read the title and contents of this thread, as a normal person, what I saw was that the governor of a state wants to revive moribund industries in his state, starting from an automobile manufacturing plant to moribund textile mills. What I saw was a governor making efforts to gather rich private investors to revive the economy of his state. Imagine we start producing peogeot 508s in Nigeria and government establishments resume the use of peogeut vehicles as official cars? On the whole, I foresaw a better economy for Nigeria.

But obviously, some minds have read a different meaning into this good move; the interpretation is that the northern establishment wants to push INNOSON into into oblivion. And the big question is, WHAT IS WRONG IN THAT? IT'S CALLED COMPETITION!!

Life is all about competition, everyone wants to outdo the other person and yes, in business (just like politics), dirty tricks are even allowed. But since some Nigerians are sadly now used to viewing things only from the myopic prism of tribe, ethnicity, region and religion, I would say, if the north is about support their own PAN to compete and push INNOSON out of business, what stops the south from supporting INNOSON to stay in business? But instead, in the usual paranoid and 'we are victim' ways, the IPOB ideology now chooses to blame the north for the failure of SE and other southern power blocks to be proactive.

Now what's the solution? I think INNOSON has a lot to do in terms of rebranding, if possible, the company has to go public and they need to need to engage in aggresive marketing. I visited their website a while back and couldn't help but notice glaring typos, c'mon! A lot of rebranding needs to be done to place INNOSON on the right track. When there is competition, instead of blaming unseen witches and wizards and principalities and northerners/westerners, the right thing to do is to work harder.

Oshiobaba should have known it was just a joke used to buttress a point. Is it everything you respond to?

jamesibor:
Very sad and depressing.

adeyemi2015:
This isn't a training, rather a torturing!
No wonder a Female Cadet "dehumanized" a Civilian for appreciating her the other time.

Dreambeat:
Is this how they are trained in other parts of the world?This is torture and dehumanizing to say the least

gabinogem:
Humans smh... what kind of offence has she committed that will warrant such punishment & public humiliation!?

PhockPhockMan:
This is really dehumanizing.

sammyj:
Heaven help us in this region imagine why this lady will not come out after all this barbaric training to demonstrate the same act on innocent civilians !!!

Eesha:
Not a good way to drill her. However, she now knows how it feel to be brutalised, same way the guy felt

jumobi1:
The idea is to train them to be tough not train them to be wicked. Now I feel bad for that cadet we saw on video beating up a civilian.

AlfaSeltzer:
And you ban us when we call them zoo people!
Infact, calling this country a zoo is a serious insult to all zoo animals
Animals will never do this: they'd rather die

'Planting' is very standard military procedure during training. Every single soldier you see, ranging from the Privates to 4-star Generals have done this. If you can't take the heat, voluntarily leave the freaking kitchen.

PDP, APC and APGA are fighting for a senatorial seat and going by all indications, Umeh (APGA) is likely to win the election. Now Peter Obi (PDP) and Ekwunife (recently APC) are fingered as the brains behind the arrest of Umeh (APGA). Politics can really be messy but interesting. Now the man has been released, may he tell us the real story.

dammytosh:
You don't know what i drive and i don't want to mention it here but trust me, I bought fuel several times and tracked it and can tell you that it is 100% accurate.

Yeah but for most cars, it's not exactly as accurate as running the calcs yourself manually.

Nigeria has been in serious trouble for a long time. I bought a tin of palm fruit concentrate (paste) in London to prepare my banga soup. On reading the label, it clearly stated 'NIGERIAN PALM FRUIT' but the tiny writings at the bottom stated 'made in Ghana.' I wept!

"Buy Naija To Grow Naija, but BUHARI wants to import grass from Brazil to feed his cows"

I think the title of this thread should be modified or else, 'the usual suspects' would interpret the report as I have highlighted above

jidestar:
I have read the article and there is no falsehood. The falsehood is people trying to pretend that all is well in Nigeria [size=13pt]since Buhari took office[/size].

Let it be known that for the first time in the history of Nigeria Governance we are witnessing protesters from both South and North against the brutal dictatorial regime of Buhari. No government in the History of this country have prove protest from North and South.

Are those Northerners protesting IPOB? From Kano to Kaduna, from Benue to Kogi, Anambra, to Abia. From Rivers to Bayelsa, Delta, Ondo and Ekiti. The protest is wide and spread.

They are all shouting, "Fulani Army are murdering us" and Buhari remains mute. That could be interpreted as a silent approval of the murders and signal to his kins men to continue with the murders.

Nigeria and Nigerians have never had it this bad.

Firstly, all the problems we have today (e.g. the tribal conflicts, the northerners abducting underaged girls etc.) have existed long before Buhari came close to Abuja. So trying to attach it on Buhari's presidency is not only foolish, but also an ill thought and lame attempt at politicising an unfortunate situation (because you, just like FFK, hate Buhari).

Secondly, the protests we have today are not also new; the protests in Nigeria today are mainly in the south-east and it is driven purely by disgruntled Jonathan supporters who are still pained that their candidate lost an election almost a year ago. The only protests in the north today are by the Shiites who are being maltreated by the rest of the northern establishment and guess what? it did not also start today under Buhari; Shiites have been protesting for ages and even right under the nose of GEJ, they were attacked by the same Nigerian army in 2014 and their leader lost several of his kids.

So once again, your dislike for Buhari is purely what drives your judgement and it renders your argument invalid; everything you attack Buhari for and claim that he CAUSED (ranging from the fulani rampage to the protests) were all in existence before he came.

dammytosh:
I don't need to calculate My machine shows that by default.

The mpg figures your car generates are not as accurate as you think.

The method by the Op is the most accurate way to measure your average mpg.

Choiii... The hustle is real!!

Chinedu why?

Another yahoo yahoo boy docked. Time to start sentencing the big thieves.

We should exercise some caution as we celebrate this news. Those boko-bastards are known to normally strike after such assertions just to prove they still exist. God help us!

chudionu58:
Get away you! jobless, mouthy Yoruba...Did APC ever define change as primarily continuing with Jonathan's policies and programmes? Where did they make reference to the TSA, Power sector reform, Growth Enhancement Scheme etc continuation as their sole objective when they get power? Are you not ashamed that as a supposedly sophisticated individual defending a government, you cannot list a maximum of two original policies it came with apart from previous government's initiatives!?? Thunder fire your stupidity in Jesus name!

For you to automatically conclude that I must be Yoruba because I don't agree with your pro-Jonathan stance, I assumed only some irredeemable tribalist imbeciles we have on NL think in this way?... If that is what you want to prove to be, then Bleep off my mentions, I don't have time for your type.
