Mr Aboki: Dino should go and swear that he has never benefitted from corruption in Nigeria..

guiddoti: [size=13pt]Dont mind the guy[/size], he is fighting for popularity and office. Lets Gej gives him one position u no go hear em voice again.

rudedough: Must you tribalise everything? Dude get yourself a girl friend and stop being stu.pidly childish.

haveworkskills: No, DSTV does not necessarily make that much. I once spoke with a guy who works there and he said despite Nigeria's advantageously huge population, very few people could afford DSTV at current subsription fees. I then suggested that the subscription fees be decreased by DSTV, so that the services would become more affordable to more Nigerians. Who knows if he has tabled this very simple suggestion before his bosses at the office.

[b]My take is that discretionary spend is still very depressed in Nigeria, and unemployment levels are quite high. Of those who are 'lucky' to be employed, 70% of them earn below N100,000 per month while more than 75% of Nigerians live below the poverty line and income inequality is breaking the 45%-50% band..Given that more than 80% of the population earn meagre income, how then do you expect them to afford a luxury entertainment service offered by DSTV? Almost impossible if you ask me.

Until disposable income levels rise, perhaps via increased jobs and drop in mandatory household expenses etc, discretionary spend would remain low...And companies like DSTV can boast of a brighter future only if there are strong expectations that income levels and discretionary spend will better what they currently are. Given current happenings, I fear that DSTV may one day close shop, just as its fellow Lekki-based South African company recently did or plans to do. I do not want to state the name os the company as I'm unsure if it is now public knowledge that they're closing shop.[/b]

Let's watch and see how things go..

theoctopus: Please shove your allegation of unfairness where it belongs. Nobody cares! It isnt anything new. The foolish APC party has never accepted any result except they win. They are shameless losers

Sammiejokes: sometimes am dumbfounded by the way Nigerians reason, A friend of my who is in Kenya presently just told me how kenyans are more sophisticated than an average Nigerian. the comments here shows why the country is in a big mess, just imagine peoples thinking. There is allegation of unfairness in the election and nobody is really concerned to know if its true or not. Sometimes I don't even know my purpose in this country. Is this even a country?

My Brother your reference to my reference is Non Sequitur. Diplomatically and otherwise another country be it their government or it's citizen do not have the right to criticize nor correct another country in anyway. It is only us (Nigerians) that reserve the right to bash ourselves and which we have been doing on this and other forums and we will continue to do. We have issues I agree but not to let somebody who has bigger issues to talk down on us.

I challenge you to show us your source of statistics to prove that 70% of mail scams originate from Nigeria or are from Nigerians.
Now which ever category of cyber crime you Google, American will always come out on top. Let me ask you a question. Which electronic crime on earth did not originate from US?.

By accepting this labelling from this woman and by her assertion, you are a scammer, a car jacker, a kidnapper.

benbazus: [color=#006600][/color]

If what she wrote is true and if you a Nigerian then that means you are either a kidnapper or a pirate or a scammer or car jacker. Pick your choose!.

OYINBOGOJU you think like them (the oyibos you think you are). You are suffering from complex.

No matter how bad things may be in Nigeria, [size=14pt]no outsider has the right to criticize us[/size]. With respect to criminally, Americans are number one.

OYINBOGOJU, can you tell us which department in unilag run credit card fraud as a major?

I will like use this medium to call on unilag alumnus and the community to rise up to the challenge and sue this lady for all her worth.
If we continue to keep quite, this rubbish will persist as such we must speak up and take action.

Am based outside Nigeria. Every time I go to work, on the streets, at terminals, I suffer prejudice for been a Nigerian. Guess what AM VERY VERY VERY PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN.

OYINBOGOJU if you do not know the import of what she wrote, then I guess I have to educate you. She meant ALL NIGERIANS ARE CRIMINAL. and by extension you are a criminal.

Between, somebody made reference to this link http://www.enigmasoftware.com/top-20-countries-the-most-cybercrime/
Is Nigerian in top 20?

lawbabs: What is offensive about it? It hurts us when other people tell us the truth. Why didnt they talk about Ghana like that. Can we deny any of the statements apart from the UNILAG tingy. U may say this is not a third world. But the features of a third world are present in this country. This morning, it was announced that 25 people were killed in fresh Boko Haram attack in Borno. Nobody said anything. It has become a norm. Abnormality thrives in this country. So what are we talking about.

If we cannot tell ourselves the truth, let someone else tell us the simple but bitter truth. Unfortunately, I reckon that no amount of insult and truth from abroad will change anything because we are used to abnormality.

The solution of Nigeria lies with YOU and ME. First decide to change yourself and vehemently reject the rubbish that our clueless leaders throw into our face. We must demand accountability and social justice. We must protest the lack of prosecution of corrupt officials. We must fight impunity. As long as we only complain about it and sit down and watch them do it, nothing will happen.

God help us.

rexzqcom: Holly cow!!! What can i say? This is what has become of Nigeria. Though there is little exageration, the writer is not too far from the truth. our society is riddled with criminilities. Up from the so call leaders to the lower ones on the street. people dreams of getting rich without the thought of providing services to earn their keep. This mind set of something for nothing is killing our nation. wether we like it or not, this is our national credibility in th,e world. Other nations are raking their heads, spending sleepless night to create, invent, or discover things to elevate the human conditions, up lift, and improve living standards, thereby improving their own lots in life. No, nigerians want to lie, con, scan, steal, rob, and kidnap their ways to affleunce. we are not fooling anybody but ourselves. Though there are lots of men and women of reputible moral dignities among us, unfortunately, the empty vessels makes the loudest noise, thereby defining all of us. Something have to give. This nation has out lived its usefullness. It is a failed state. Big does not necessary equate great. The country need to be reconstituted to a smaller manageable parts.

Where then do we start? We can start by doing away with the touts inside the lobby. We can start by ensuring the air-conditioning systems work. We can look to make sure passengers are well-treated on arrival and departure. We always look at problems and immediately assume throwing money at them will solve them. [size=13pt]I have since realised half the problems with Nigeria have nothing to do with money[/size]. Even with all the money in the world, our airports and our country will not work as long as we do not have people who care about excellence. Caring about excellence means knowing that Nigerians deserve the best all the time. When we reserve the rights citizens of other countries take for granted, upgrade such to privileges for our citizens, we will always miss the point of making things work. Nigerians deserve more but as long as we have people – including the President – dancing on national TV because a road contract has been awarded, we’d always have a situation where mediocrity will remain the norm. Would anyone say the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is the mess it is because of money? Nay. It is what it is because we are who we are. We have become a people accustomed to seeing nothing work.

theoctopus: Buhari cannot make a good president. He was there before and failed. He was woeful and clueless! He was also pushing an islamic agenda! He is a bigot and can never change

Living Soul34: What is there to discover... Buhari served as head of states, governor, minister, ptf c/man etc in this country and if nobody can come out with any case of corruption against him on those platforms then you guys better shut your mouths and appreciate the man because he got no equal as far as integrity is concerned in Nigerian politics... For me the only person that comes close to Buhari in Nigerian politics in terms of integrity is Chief Audu Ogbeh... That Buhari is in the same party with people that were once accused of corruption is not enough reason for anybody to dance around because if he is waiting to associate with people of his kind alone he may not find up 50 of such men among active politicians in Nigeria and by implication there is no way somebody like him would have the opportunity to be in the helm of affairs to do the right thing because politics is a game of number.... Moreover, its we need to understand that what you do with power is more important than how you get to power... The only problem i have with Buhari is his age and may be religious fanaticism.

idupaul: And who told him he is an excellent Central Banker? Sanusi is another example of how an empty barrel can hoodwink the whole nation that it is full by making a lot of noise .

Olugbenger: So you mean we should not blame the Government for bad roads but we confront the average Nigerian commercial driver who is described as a weed smoker or drunkard according to ur silly statements.
Whose responsiblity is it to create and repair road?
who fault is it that even a goat can obtain a driver's license?

Whose fault is that Government agencies such as the FRSC fail to implement standard speed limits on roads and keep failing to prosecute violators?
Do u reason properly at all?

Olugbenger: pls which over speeding are they talking about?
Is it the one that motorists engage in during traffic jam or on the pot holes infested roads?
It is very disheartening that public office holders can still attribute the major cause of road crashes to be over speeding.
Just imagine the relative number of human lives wasted and destinies cut short by severe injuries.
Worse is that these figures are even official, implying greater havocs have occured just this year alone.
Fix the damn roads and stop giving silly excuses for ur shortcomings.

WHIZBRO: What has smoking Marijuana or not believing in Marriage got to do with expressing your opinion as a Nigerian?
If this is your own definition of being an Intellectual, you should be flogged @ the next 'new yam festival' in the Medieval cave you come from.

Peter Obi made donation of N2million to the Reverend Father. The Father rejected it and ask him to give that to the poor whom he have starved for years.

torkaka: “He went to the IMT, got some students and had a deal with them. The students didn’t even know why they were at the airport, neither could their supposed leader say the platform under which they were protesting.

pharmow: Astonishingly beautiful


And what makes this snake more attractive is the fact that it is not venomous...............

Just a quick enlightenment: I know many people in Naija when they hear or see anything called snake, it creates an adrenalin rush and the next line of action is to kill the poor creature. Need I let you know that for a snake that is a non-venomous, its bite is safer than a dog's, cat's or rodents bites because snakes don't have saliva and any bite from a non-venomous snake will not inject virus or bacteria into the blood stream

arsenalwenger: I wont lose sleep as long as source of the info are punch, sahara reporters or premiumtimes. These media houses have proven to be shameless\unprofessional for the past few days in sham journalism.


They are however fighting a lost battle cos the progress being experinced nationwide, in the aviation secror, can never be eroded by charlatans from a particular section of the country who believed that the control of the aviation sector is their birth-right. Funny enough they are already constituting nuisance to sane minds with all these unending whinnings.

ladenz: My dear, if APC was really really offering anything new or different from what we have been seeing in the past 14 years, I assure you many Nigerians will support them. The truth is that its the same old people, the same old policies, the same old practices with a new name.

naptu2: They certainly didn't act like people who deserve respect. We don't all have to agree. People are not robots. Differences of opinion are expected in a democracy. You settle matters by dialogue or at the polling booth, not by violence.

Is this what we should expect at the dialogue? Should we expect to see people throwing chairs and shoes?

He has his opinions. Those who disagree with him should have countered his opinions with superior arguments, rather than getting rowdy and attempting to lynch him.

vislabraye: Adams Oshiomole should be carefuL. I don't even trust his so called APC.
