CelebritiesRe: Moesha Buduong Accused Of Sleeping With Married Men After Showing Off New House by pacespot(m): 6:22pm On Dec 10, 2018
I know one hater will come up with something the moment this lady showed off her house. If it is so easy to be successful as a woman through runs, I bet every woman on this planet will be rich. People tend to overlook the hardworking parts of these women, I have a soft spot for this lady in particular. If you call every rich lady an olosho, well, blame it on your fellow men, because how many men are ready to help men these days?

In a society that has lost its values, evil people triumph. That is the case of Nigeria. A setting like Nigeria is a breeding ground for evil people to spread their tentacles.

CelebritiesRe: Linda Ikeji: My House Is Now Valued At N850 Million by pacespot(m): 3:58pm On Dec 08, 2018
keryj:
Which agents. It's the duty of valuers to estimate a current value of an estate. Many things could have increased the value of her property. Don't just stay there and say what you don't know
Try to understand what that guy is saying. you can say the value of your shoe is one million naira, it is now left to see whether you can sell that shoe for N50,000. The truth is that, most Nigeria's real estate are overvalued because there are no sufficient business environments that can attract foreign investors who will buy those properties.
RomanceRe: Lady Slams Her Fiancé Who Slept With Her Friend On Their Anniversary Day by pacespot(m): 4:39am On Dec 08, 2018
Most ladies that get a cheating or irresponsible boy friend often live a fake life, so the guy was just patching along to get what he wants and ready to jump on the next available flight. I've met hundreds of such ladies in my life but I left before the relationship even got started, most Nigerian guys will not do the same, they will pretend they are in love to get what they want, and the result is always heartbreak like this.

Ajet001:
Oh Good
Peradventure you're asked the meaning of NJ what will be your response?
if someone persists like that it is because he or she already has a skepticism about you and wants to judge you based on your country, so it is better you tell him or her what he or she already knows.
CrimeRe: Twitter User Rants On How Yahoo Boys Are Destroying His Business(photos) by pacespot(m): 3:06pm On Dec 07, 2018
It is better not to tell them that you are a Nigerian but rather let them find out themselves. Hearing that name Nigerian is a red flag to any foreign coy, even those who have done a deal with you will stop the deal immediately or cut down their commitments. I have experienced such hundreds of times in my online business adventure. So I've coined a code that I use when they ask me of my country, I will just say NG or NJ, many will not border to ask the full meaning. Some will just ask your country out of familiarizing themselves with you not because of skepticism of who you are. So being a little discreet can help in such scenario. But a coy that will do a deal worth thousands of dollars will verify every detail before going further with you.

Nigeria has a long way to go in reputation management.
PoliticsRe: Visa Denial: National Assembly Summons US Ambassador by pacespot(m): 10:59am On Dec 04, 2018
it is funny how Nigerians know about good things but they will never do good things for their sake or others. they want to run to America that is built by sane people, but preaching sanity is the last thing Nigerians want to listen to. it still surprises me that people blame government for their plights in this country while every Nigerian you choose to do a business with only reasons how to dupe you not how to make the business grow.

A country where betrayal of trust is a sign of someone being smart has no place in the community of sane people.

how possible is this clone issue? I've watched it in movies but is it practicable in real life? I know people do facial reconstruction to look like the other person, but what about the voice, personal traits, height and other attributes that are unique to a person, can those be cloned too?

PoliticsRe: Atiku: I Will Risk Inflation To Win Huge Foreign Investments by pacespot(m): 10:25am On Nov 16, 2018
revolt:
your analysis is warped bro. This would work if we had abundant funding for industrialisation. Nobody can deny we need heavy Fdi inflow to achieve industrialisation status. Don't forget we owe China a huge lot and will not be able to pay with our current expenditure. Our past leaders created a very robust expensive fg that's statutorily backed up, thus the only realistic position is to source for funding from Fdi....ofcourse there would be minimal regulation. Afterall when Obama took over from bush they realised they were in the middle of a war and a recession with most of their industries running to China. The immediate solution to mitigate the crises was to open up their economy for heavy Fri fron the Chinese and Indians which saw gm motors etc sold to companies like tata to name a few.
We don't need our fg to take more loans to embarl on more projects cause we simply have more recurrent expenditure than we can service. We need Fdi inflow for now more than ever. Nigeria doesnt have the money to industrialised.
You don't get my point, do you? Industrialization does not mean Nigeria should turn to China or Germany in one day. It starts from something as little as baking breads in factory, processing a better garri, cloth weaving, construction, designing, etc now that you have light. It is a motivation that moves Nigerian businesses to producing what they sell rather than depending on importation. And that is why you need government to provide incentives and regulation to protect these enterprises from foreign competitors. And youth should be there to cultivate the spirit of blue collar factory jobs instead of white collar jobs of today. So industrialization is all about taking the advantage of the light to provide something that you know people need in your area, to reduce the pressure of importation on the economy. There can be no cost to the government compared to when they invest everything into luring foreign investors, that is neocolonialism to me. These people will manipulate you, the marginal benefits of their investments will go to their origin countries. But when government engineered domestic industrialization, it would create a market for itself, and that market will lure investors.
PoliticsRe: Atiku: I Will Risk Inflation To Win Huge Foreign Investments by pacespot(m):
More like saying you want to sell Nigeria back to the colonialists. Foreign investors (especially the West) are not attracted by only the economic environment, they are also attracted by the political environment. China is one of the most attractive and lucrative investment destinations for foreigners, but since Donald Trump was elected president, European companies have been withdrawing their investments from the country.

Buhari administration has made a lot of improvement to the infrastructure in Nigeria, power has been the major bane of economic development in Nigeria before this administration, but today that overhead has been reduced. Taking my area as an example, we now experience a regular power supply for at least 23 hours per day in the past 6 months. The would-be Nigerian entrepreneurs should capitalize on this improvement in the power sector. This is not a political rhetoric, I believe everybody can see the difference in power today.

Our next wave of economic transformation should be industrialization, not by sabotaging our fragile economy to appeal to foreign investors who can leave at any moment. Industrialization will make foreign investors to come by force. With this administration making inroads into rail links and road constructions, these are the bases for a real industrialized economy.

I'm beginning to suspect this Atiku as a mole for the West to mortgage Nigeria.

CelebritiesRe: People Begging For Money In Front Of Davido's House: The Long Queue by pacespot(m):
if I say Nigerians' lives are no worth more than money, some will say that is too far. if people are killed because of money, like those armed robbers roasted to death, you can say that is justice being served, because all people care about in this country is money. For instance, if you're poor, your life means nothing to Nigerians, you will get victimized in every angle and even killed if you're not lucky. But the moment you become rich, people will swarm to you like bees, even the ones who have said bad things about you during trying time will not be left out. This is not because of poverty but of Nigerian's propensity to see money first in anything. So the formula is simple in this country, make no money and make no life, OR make money and make everything. It is not that the money is not being cherished all around the world, but unlike Nigeria, you hardly see the difference between how the poor and the rich are being treated by those people. So people lives in this country are not worth more than money, because they only come to you because of money, and if there is no money, they disappear.
HealthRe: Obituary Of Man Who Died At Age Of 170 In Abia (Photo) by pacespot(m): 3:59am On Nov 10, 2018
That man I see in the picture above was no way close to that age. people don't know what it means to be 170 years old as a human, not tortoise or shark, on the surface of this planet.

People just quote age for their elders since no one knows when they were born and birth certificate was a rare thing in those days. 170 years old would have looked totally disfigured far from a look of a normal human being. Even scientists have proven it is almost impossible for someone to live up to 140. Because there is a limit to how much long our body can keep together to sustain life.

Chinese are a blessing to humanity, they use their technology to help the poor while the west used their technology to colonize the poor. Up till today, there are some high-tech equipments that Americans don't sell to other countries on the ground of national security threat, even if those equipments are for civilian use.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Something Is Generally Wrong With Nigerians!!! by pacespot(m): 12:31pm On Oct 22, 2018
Famzer:
In life it's what you focus on that expands,there is nothing strange about having deviants in a society. If you study sociology you would have been taught.Some months back,British teenagers were sneaking out of UK to join ISIS and the whole world was shocked with repeated school and public shooting massacres in the US.
In that same Jos,an imam provided safe haven for Christians during religious skirmishes. The same Nigeria defeated recession while countries filled with angels like Greece and Venezuela couldn't. This is the Nigeria that's the biggest economy in Africa and trudging on despite our flaws. Instead of lamenting and displaying subtle subterfuge,why don't you pick one area of our national problems as a university graduate and dedicate your best towards solving that problem. You will then have a basis to mobilize others. True leaders don't lament,they face challenges head long and never stop until they overcome the problem.
Finally,when the naysayers say there's casting down,I will say there's a lifting up.
Must we always reference bad examples to justify our actions? Though you have a point that we should rather be doing than talking. That guy gave analyses that typify the true nature of Nigerian problems, the analyses which are the banes of our development as a country. I heard someone saying our problem is poverty, he should go to some south-east Asian countries or some remote areas in India to know what true poverty is, don't forget that China was once poorer than Nigeria in terms of per capita GDP.

Our number one problem is INDICIPLINE, and a little bit of a civilization problem. I know Nigerians will want to justify for that by saying Nigerians are hardworking. You cannot say you're hardworking while you're indiciplined. DICIPLINE is the true meaning of hardwork. I'm one of the people who questioned our transition to democracy, because democracy is the most advanced system of governance that is best fitted for civilized people. Even communism will need heavy handedness to work on Nigerians.

So when you have a group of people that are not civilized but think they know better than civilized people through yahoo-yahoo, you will have a country like Nigeria.
