aikyg: You don't get it bro. Hopefully, somewhere in the near future you'll learn. Just hoping it won't be too late by then.
You're actually the one in need urgent education. Quit trying to be too clever.
BBN is organised by a private establishment which has absolutely no links with govt. The organisers are profit oriented businessmen whose area of focus is 'ENTERTAINMENT' and showbiz. It's not up to you to tell these private businessmen what to do with their money.
Entertainment, sports and showbiz are all multibillion dollar industries which are separate from the education industry. I struggle to see the wisdom in you audaciously expecting showbiz entrepreneurs to invest their money in education.
aikyg: Meanwhile, the best graduating student at UNN got what again? Five thousand abi na five hundred naira. Stuubid kwantry!
Aren't you a part of the people making up the stewpid kwantry? If you're as smart as you may think, why dont you award the UNN best student with millions yourself? You want to tell other private individuals what to do with their money?
walkbrazil4k: If you read my previous write-up, I talked about visiting the Brazilian presidential Palace and it was an awesome experience for me and one thing I noticed is the freedom. We have a bus stop near the presidential Palace as you can see in the picture below, I don't think this can happen in my country, the presidential Palace in my country is a no-go zone.
What are African leaders always scared of?
In Brazil, people go to the presidential Palace to take pictures and you won't find one military checkpoint or fierce-looking soldiers, why is Africa always different?
When I was making the video the military guy walked up to me and politely and calmly told me to go to the part where i can take pictures from because I was making the video close to the road, if it was in Africa a fierce-looking military man might even beat you
This are part of the reasons why I love Brazil because of the freedom we enjoy here
Did you say "might"? THe truth is that you will definitely be beaten blue-black if you try it in Nigeria. I remember a case of a student who took a photo of the official car of a governor when oga governor visited his school. The lad received several dirty slaps from an overzealous security operative and his camera confiscated. Nigeria is ruled by barbaric senseless beasts!
Lol... Naval Base in Kano state, with no river; meanwhile several coastal states have no Naval presence. The Nigerian government never fails to amaze...
Hopefully someone here would be able to explain this aberration.
Generalwoodz: When next you Lodge in any hotel and you suspect there maybe a hidden camera, kindly bring out your smart phone. On the camera and gradually take it around the room as if you are video covering. If there's any hidden camera, a red light will be shown on screen of your phone.
Oga what's the logic behind this? Have you tried it before and seen it work?
Hmmm... this is weird cos for all my time in the UK, I've only met just 3 South Africans... Cant count the number of Congolese, Cameroonians and even Zimbabweans I meet everyday.
So where exactly are these 118,000 SA women and their behinds hiding?
The CBN and Nigerian government seem to be playing the ostrich. Due to sheer incompetence garnished with corruption, greed and wickedness, the Naira is now as useless as [b]used/b] toilet paper. Instead of the clowns to come up with ways to strengthen the Naira, they're busy chasing AbokiFX for simply publishing the shameful exchange rates.
Which kind of poverty riddled reasoning is this all over this thread? SO people who have money basically no longer have the right to lament the ills of government? Did she send her children abroad with public funds?
Nfchi73: Is not the same Aisha that's critising the top government officials of sending their children school abroad? Now the son just graduated from a school in London. Na wa ooo
chiiraq802: You don see am naaaa.... We ain't got any activist in this Country. all of them just dey make noise to find favor and monetary gain. In fact some of them would even do worst if they're to hold a political office in Nigeria.
Racoon: Not in any way differen.Aisha why is your son schooling abroad when you're always criticising the government back home? Remove the beam in your eyes first madam.I am disappointed.
So because she has the money to send her children abroad, she no longer has a right to speak up or lament the ills in her country?
Despite her wealth, she still stands under the sun at every opportunity with ordinary Nigerians, daring police and military bullets to protest against useless governments; but somehow this angers you guys because you found out she has money? What crime did she commit by being wealthy? Did she send her children abroad with public funds? Or you guys are basically saying only poor people have a right to criticise government, is that it?
If this isnt POVERTY MENTALITY speaking here, then I wonder what it really is.
PIMPAR: Sit at home on Monday. Sit at home on Tuesday. Are IPoB these lazy and jobless?
You are nothing but shameless entity
THe guy you quoted is probably just a lazy jobless fellow who wants to drag everyone down to his level. No reasonable enterprising human would be happy to sit idly at home on Monday and Tuesday.
Ikwerelastborn: Shut up, are SE people complaining? The sit at home remains
That local food vendor woman who's probably struggling to make ends meet, I'm sure she must be extremely pleased by her wares being destroyed by overzealous idiots. Afterall she's not complaining.
henkey: Dave Umahi should be careful with his utterances just to please outsiders against his people just because of 2023. States collection of VAT will make the Governors to sit up in their various duties.
As expected, no parasitic state will support state collection of VAT. Ebonyi obviously receives more revenue from Abuja than it generates, so this stance isn't surprising.
UncleJudax: The majority of EU member states may require either evidence of vaccination, proof of full recovery, PCR test (under 48 hrs) or antigen test (under 72 hrs).
These requirements change of course. But Nigeria has refused to consider anything other than PCR...even before report started showing that the vaccinated can still contract it/infect others.
I dont think they require either. Despite your vaccination status, most EU countries still require you to show a negative covid test result taken at least 72 hours before you get on the flight to their country. Full vaccination status will only save you the inconvenience of having to quarantine yourself when you arrive the country.
The only difference is that most EU countries now accept Rapid antigen tests which you can even do at the airport prior to departure, but Nigeria (and many other countries) still accepts only PCR tests.
UncleJudax: whether to take it or not is not what i am saying. Other nations have vaccination status or antigen trst as proofs to board an airplane. Somehow in Nigeria where nothing works, only PCR test is being mandated because some people are making insane money from it.
Do countries really accept vaccination status inplace of PCR test result as a pass to board planes? Which countries?
They are already milking people of hard earned money at the airport. Why is thus country bent on frustrating humans?
If your web platform has issues, fix it for Heaven’s sake. After a long hectic flight, i have to come and start suffering at the already hectic airport to pay and bribe? Lord knows how much they will charge now. Maybe 200k for covid test.
I saw this coming with the sudden emergence of covid testing centers all over Lagos. So sad. The world has moved on but naija wants to keep millking pple.
I think you will still have the option to pay online before flying to Nigeria if you prefer that.
RedEnergy: Actually, it is. It is good for labs doing Covid19 tests here. They will make a hell of money. Because instead of travellers spending money over there to do Covid tests abroad within 7 days before flight, now they will allow you to fly here without Covid tests, but when you get to the airport you have to do it with the local airport labs here. They are trying to make money
I think you misunderstood the message. With this development, nothing has actually changed. You will still have to do the PCR test 72 hours before departure from wherever you are, and another PCR test 7 days after you land in Nigeria.
Only change here is that the day 7 PCR test which you hitherto had to pay for online (using their convoluted/confusing website) before boarding the flight to Nigeria, they're saying you can now choose to make the day 7 test payment when you arrive Nigeria.
If cows really get to cost 2million, it would be the best thing to ever happen to cow business... Within a year, watch as Igbos go fulltime into the cow business and render the marauding herdsmen irrelevant.
Independence War with Britian American Civil war World War 1 World War 2 Cold War Gulf War War in Iraq ISIS War in Syria Technological War
That is why they are the only Super Power...no more USSR.
American won technological warfare
American controls everyone and everything through technology. That is why FFK has to disseminates his misinformation through American Platform, using American phone and American operating system.
FFK , stop misleading your gullible followers
Go back and read the caption, it says "SINCE WW2", so that cancels the first 4 wars in your list.
THen unto the next on your list: * Cold War wasn't exactly a war, so it doesn't count. * Gulf war wasn't really a victory with Saddam still remaining in power * War in Iraq was a colossal failure because since they left Iraq, Iraq has never known peace. Except the killing of Saddam and installation of ISIS is what you term 'victory' * ISIS war in Syria? Silly me, I didnt know your comment was sarcasm
Nobody who commented on first and almost the entire second page bothered to read the article. It's just a symptom of a great problem we have in Nigeria.
Every time oil price falls, it always affect Nigeria, even if Jesus was president, we will still be in the same crisis
The oil price excuse has since expired. Oil has been selling steady above $60/bbl for a while now; in fact, oil price is over $70 today, so the oil price excuse in invalid.
Likewise the Covid lockdown pandemic excuse which was viable last year 2020 is no longer valid today.
The fact that the Naira still continues its freefall under current circumstances is inexcusable, and an indictment of the current administration. No excuse works again for the criminal incompetence of this administration.
thebosstrevor1: In a way yes, western Christians help in creating boko haram.
Boko haram was created as a counter to western way of life in the north.
The group idealogy was to protect muslims especially when the United states invasion of Afghanistan happened, many muslims saw it as a duty to protect islam from Christian nation subversion and secularism but unfortunately the group went violent.
Anyway, a Christian president called Jonathan sent the army to kill them in masses, they were unarmed
This one has obviously been fully indoctrinated by some jihadist imam to hate and kill Christians, with the silly excuse that Christians are aggressors.
As part of your indoctrination, you're made to believe that any occurrence perceived to be anti-Islam, must have been perpetrated by a Christian. Explains why an atheist journalist in far away Belgium made remarks perceived to be anti-Islam, thoughtless indoctrinated folks like yourself in northern Nigeria hit the streets looking for people to slaughter and churches to burn. Everything to guys is an excuse to kill 'infidels'. To further justify you vampiric bloodthirst, you even had to claim BH was started by Christian just to sustain your jihadic onslaught.
And then your endless venomous hatred for GEJ all because he was a Christian from a part of Nigeria you perceive to be Igbo land. You claimed a Christian GEJ started the killing of unarmed bokoharam adherents, but obviously this is your love for blood thwarting your reasonable memory. Bokoharam which was bombing police stations and churches almost on a weekly basis is what you call 'unarmed'? By the way it was a Fulani Muslim president who first sent the military after BH when they got violent, but your religious bigotry and desperation to justify your onslaught against Christian 'infidels' has just made you blame GEJ for things done under Yaradua.
Anyway, God has been merciful enough to ensure the monsters you created and have nurtured for over 10 years now, have restricted their activities largely to your zone. I'm sure this must make you really frustrated cos your wish is to see Christians slaughtered. Spit!
hollywater: Me I spent 3.8m in my last visit. 472k went to police alone. Very useless Police. Just because my car was not numbered. Hotel and runs girls added to my problem.
Hotel costs these days na wa. 20k cant even get one a decent hotel bed in Lagos. And then everywhere one turns, na runsgirls !
A UK-based Twitter user who visited Nigeria took to Twitter to share her experience in the country.
She said she spent 2.5 million Naira in two months, adding that "food is the most expensive commodity in Nigeria".
She then goes on to say her heart bleeds for the poor in Nigeria.
Her tweet reads: "Just got back from Nigeria and I can tell you now, 1m can not do much , It cost me N2.5m to live in Nigeria for two months. Food is the most expensive commodity in Nigeria , my heart bleeds for the poor every time I go food shopping it is heart breaking."
I can totally relate to this. Got into Nigeria few weeks ago, didnt even stay at a hotel, but after basic necessary expenses for the first week, my account was down by N254,000, in 7 days... I've refused to check my account balance since then. Every meal costs between 4 - 7k... Very disturbing! Hopefully things are better outside Lagos.
