RisingSun1:Very good point about size but that is why there is Local Government Areas... that was the whole idea - the size can be managed by each local government area... each LGA could even hv its own police division --- why aren't they thinking of all these We have a large population instead of them to use it for good they use it for yahoo yahoo and blame the govt. I did not say the Caucasian race is the solution. I said British nationals (including Nigerian British) - it is the culture that they bring to the table not skin color... I already said what those were: honesty (ur worker is in Ibadan and tells you he is in lagos), punctuality (come today come tomorrow, sluggish, unnecessary waste of time) and responsibility (blame govt and spirits; form cults, kidnap). this is why any small thing, politicians will resign... how many politicians hv resigned in Nigeria? I just typed 'resigns' in Google and checked news - a govt official just resigned in Japan over a defense issue - this is responsibility! http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/27/asia/tomomi-inada-japan-defense-minister/index.html Note the number of Nigerians that have been arraigned in UK in recent times for fraud, misleading people etc... they get stiff sentences - this is due to cultural incompatibility - those naija guys that went there thought they were still in Nigeria... and that lieing to the government or to ppl was not a serious offence... its the culture... |

ChimaAdeoye: if theycan deliver results sure they are welcome!!! It does not matter the skin color or nationality - wat matters is delivery of results. The british nationals (including all skin colors that identify as british) hv shown a strong track record which is why i am advocating their return... more savagery...https://www.nairaland.com/270930/lagos-faces-threat-more-building the developers know the building code, yet they build against it becos they want to make more money to sleep with their many wives at the expense of buyers and renters, when they collapse they blame the government and spirits... loooolll at the zoological republic. |

Foxflames: It bruises their egos to admit a humble truth. Go to Ibeju Lekki. The Chinese hv already erected factories there and Indians. ... give the Chinese more leeway they will take over while the Nigerian wallows in Mr ojo is not around come tomorrow. The British didn't loot anything. They hv apologized for any colonial time wrongs. The heart of the British is not as bad as that of Sani Abacha as far as looting goes. Why do they need to loot Nigeria when they already great?! Lemme tell u they are explorers. Even while I was there years back they were always going on Africa missions in remote villages something the average Nigerian won't do while they await their ritual money. All u guys hv come and given is excuses with someone calling for no further replies. Let me advise that person to rush to mountain of Fire for dat demon of pride to be cleansed. Anyway I hv no stakes it's a zoo. |

Shaytun:Ask those that lived during the British rule, Nigeria was better. There is the concept of management compensation - even if they took somethings back to britain which i believe wont be outrageous... they still managed the country well. What is naira exchanging for gbp today? The sheer amount of ego in these naija folks beggars belief. Then there was no Boko Haram insurgency, no kidnapping, badoo no lack of law and order under British rule. The truth is they do bring something of value to the table we can tap into. Yet the stupid ego of these Savage Nigerians won't admit the truth. Japan could even come colonize Nigeria. Whoever will change the people's way of thinking and deliver. 1 Like 1 Share |

freshest4live: Nigeria in its current state since 1960 has not been able to successfully execute one nation wide capital project! What I am proposing is neo colonialism working together with Uk as returning colonial masters, China and the world bank; while Nigeria of course retains sovereignty. A country can be taught/colonized with its sovereignty in tact. Nigerian Government revenue will be managed from Great Britain. Resource and development contracts will be signed. China would be in charge of the infrastructure projects. G8 resources will start to follow Nigeria. Nigerians on ground would start to be shamed for their bad citizenship and encouraged to become good citizens. Psychiatric evaluation for all drivers and compulsory driver education. Nigeria can be a changed country in 2 yrs or less. Only Lagos is transforming rapidly because most residents hv bn out at least to ECOWAS and are demanding development. So either way we need foreign influence 2 Likes 1 Share |

freshest4live: I have lived in Nigeria Britain middle east and North America. This suggestion is the best for Nigeria. The best thing British influence can bring to Nigeria is a culture of honesty and punctuality. There is no shame in admitting this! Nigerians need exposure to a better culture in this regard. Note that the British continue to learn from all the Nigerians living in Britain the good things our own culture has to offer. 1 Like 1 Share |

If I have a rich brother I will ask him wat he does. Same just ask Britain wat they are doing differently. The fact that thus suggestion is being opposed shows why the country is backward.

Chikpat:They always resort to insults. Both the Nigerian and British are brothers and sisters it's not a rivalry. Britain is clearly a better run country. Maybe some British law makers and policy makers and urban planners could help. And get British Police reinforcement and international police from UN to help with kidnapping? I hv no Inferiority Complex simply result oriented. Japan is fine too. Even South Africa. No shame in admitting help is needed. Britain is easier to coordinate because they were our former masters.

Romance / Re: Has The Marriage Contract Changed For The Better? by Obalende: 7:32pm On Jul 30, 2017 |
It has changed from 1000 yrs ago because women work and contribute which is a good thing and also because of all other things mentioned - it has shifted from a partriarchial institution to an equalist institution and in some countries like Sweden a martriarchial instutution where women call the shots in the marriage. The original question is the traditional marriage of 1000 yrs ago still necessary or even important today if the lady can bail any time (over 75% of divorces are initiated by the woman). |
Romance / Has The Marriage Contract Changed For The Better? by Obalende: 6:28pm On Jul 30, 2017 |
1. Men used to bear all financial responsibility. Now wives are expected to work and to take care of themselves and contribute. 2. Marriages happen later on average giving both parties an opportunity to play the field first and not feel tied down. Loyalty is not the norm as people can change their minds even after marriage. This means more mate variety. 'Open marriage' seems to describe the new social construct? 3. Child and home responsibility are no longer for the woman alone. Guys are now expected to clean the home, cook and take care or children as equally as the woman does. I think the contract has changed to give ladies a better deal though at the risk of some promiscuity. Has the marriage contract changed for the better? Is marriage still relevant? Should marriage be replaced with open partnerships instead? Pls comment. |
