Dangote is breaking the bondage of economic slavery for generations to come

Haters are throwing stones

Posterity will judge him right on this one,it's not an easy battle he his fighting,I hope Nigerians know to support him,he has undertaken a great endeavour one we should all support

Where to find all his books...now that would be a great gift for a millennial book lover

That said,it's very very very very unlikely they missed doing environmental impact assessment, how would he get approvals for the area if he did not do that, but been who they are their leopard spots be shining like headlamps

Let's watch and see, if there's evidence of compensation for the lands or not ,no one will sink in millions of dollars without sorting land compensation or ethical approvals,that would be stupid,Nigerians are not stupid. Far from it

We have said it since,east Africans especially zimbabwe,kenya and the ugandans, especially that kenya are hostile to Nigerian businesses

I was watching and waiting to see if the same will apply to dangite and viola it did....

Bunch of low self esteem self depreciating pull others down haters while they are allowed easy and free access in nigeria and here they are allowed to stay for years and flourish,but when it's Nigerians on their turf in the professional space,they make things real hostile

And Nigeria has not officially recognized this problem,the country has to... Here's dangite as a case study,we are watching let's see if they will find some spurious charge to arrest him on as is their habit,"bunch of sore losers"

We must all call for an end to this senseless war whenever and always

Why did they start the war in the first instance. So Ukraine can have nato defence if they were ever attacked by russia,but was there any attack before then no

Now many lives have been lost on both sides because a clown wanted to join a club whose membership came at the risk of him having to sacrifice the lives of his country men for years, and he is still sacrificing their lives and peace....for what exactly

Their ego,their boredom and membership of a club that had to be bought with bloodshed. So when will they all have sense. And those lives lost for this cause where they worth it

The clown failed his people, a whole generation and history will record him for exactly what and who he is... A clown,a foolish one.The war should end and everyone everywhere should call for this

Boomyvig:
That’s how they started with yahoo yahoo. Anywhere belle face media CEO all they care about is money. They want traffic to their website at all cost… many Nigerians are doing great things in and outside of the nation but they won’t cover such news, when they lack good journalism skills to make such news item go viral.

Then I have noticed something about Nigerians New’s bloggers, they find bad New’s more newsworthy than any niche. Skull mining, rape, divorce and many other bad angles. Passing boundary is when news representing everyone in a state as bad. The government should regulate them…

That's how they succeeded in promoting Nigeria as the internet fraud leaders of the world.meanwhile it was not nigeria when compared with the data.Nigeria was not even one of the top 5. Adjusted for population the pictures is even worse Nigeria should address how it promotes it's crimes

Have you heard of crimes in South Africa ,do you know their violence statistics and the kinds of blood curling crimes that happen there...no one should really want to go near that place,but then they don't publish it enough,and we all end up thinking they have a lot of sane people.

Naija should do better

Nairaland needs to find a way to censor bad news about nigeria,or balance it somehow

Some (very few ) Nigerians do drugs ,the country frowns on it ,it's not a norm.

A balance would be publicise other nationals of other countries busted for crimes in Nigeria,the way you all gleefully promote Nigerian crimes abroad. That one needs to be addressed

The other balance would be add a caveat on total arrests that year for said crime and proportion as per our population

There is a reason some countries don't let negative information about their country go out.in some places it's a crime to share such even when it's through

Do better nairaland

Kenyans have always done bussiness freely in Nigeria,loved by their neighbours, ask how they reciprocate in Kenya.

Nigeria needs to ensure every east african doing any work here has the right papers for that work. Its the principle of reciprocity. Was it not here on nairaland the make up bussiness person desrcibed how she was jailed for up to 2 years for doing bussiness with the wrong documents,they could simply have deported her.


Nigeria should create systems to identify and address other Africans doing business here ,like they do to our people.

Sanctions sanctions sanction

Nigeria needs to respond, to do otherwise presents the image of a weak nation that cannot protect its citizens, or does not care to

Set up an intersectoral comitee for the sole purpose of designing and implementing sanctions against SA, the trade deficit between Nigeria and SA is enough to ensure that SA leadership prevents such nonsense, still it happens year after year because Nigeria refuses or is too disorganised to respond.This ought to stop NOW

Eyes on the ball everyone

Innocent Nigerians have been vilified and castigated in SA, what will Nigeria do about it. End of story

SA cannot hold nigeria responsible for crimes on its shores,that's the meaning and purpose of sovereignty ,abdication of SAs role to keep its country drug free is what is happening.

How is that another countries problem.

Tells us more about his perception of himself. Same for all those who answered. The good see the good in others and the bad...

It's called projection, the average Nigerian is a diligent resilient person,the few bad eggs don't define us,for our population its a few bad eggs

Nigerias real problem is intersectoral coordination.Africa too


Some Chinese company's heads should litrearily be rolling over this one,the influences too should have been invited by their Chinese government

But that will only happen if it affects their trade and that is the responsibility of a different agency

Nigeria must respond fast for africa (we have the largest of trade with china).its a simple matter, China must hold the manufacturers and influencers,to do otherwise is to condemn its future generations to ethnic profiling by the Chinese

Truth is the Chinese don't care about black skin, they find it fascinating, many have never seen a black person. Stupid trends like this with no response,teach them how we want to be treated

It is not a matter to be taken lightly

CharlesCNG:
There's nothing wrong with showing compassion to imprisoned compatriots. But prisons are not wedding receptions, and incarceration is not a cultural reunion.

Public office demands sensitivity to optics. A little more sobriety would have better conveyed empathy without risking the impression of celebrating criminality.

At worst, Bianca's conduct was not an error of compassion, but an error of judgment and optics.
But nobody is above mistake

There was also the issue of many of them having questionable incarceration or cases somewhere....

Fujiyama:


Terrible, terrible stuff.

First of all, isn't there a protocol guiding interaction between non-prison staff and prisoners? Are prisoners free to swarm around federal ministers in this manner ?

And some people on here are tying themselves in knots trying to defend this?

Rubbish

This one is trying to sound like one famous oyibo man like that

KingPure:
Whaaaaatt!!! Well I'm not disappointed. I understand that some of you are actually using nairaland to think aloud in public settings.

The issue at hand has suddenly transformed into a misunderstanding only because someone could not read to understand between public conduct (regardless of prevailing situations) and emotions.

Maybe I should ask Mr Onoh this and his co-travellers; "Would you maintain decorum or rather dance on the spot of an accident as a lone survivor (even in the very presence of the loved ones of co-travellers)"?

I'll also now conclude that I noticed you only sleep, wake-up, eat, take your bath, drink, read, learn, and practice nothing else outside the news of banditry and kidnappings. How boring this life could be for some people.

This is why and how we know the foreigners in thinking amongst us. You schooled abroad right?


Her response was culturally appropriate. She's our foreign affairs minister for a reason. She get sense well global and local. She was with her people, representing their home and their interests, they sang and dqnced, and she danced with them, in Africa we call her response home training... what was you peoples beef again? She should stand at attention like the warden...I see...

Her response was culturally appropriate, she achieved a great feat and celebrated with them their good news, in an appropriate African way,what kind of person beefs that.... so she should pack face like a pretentious prude... what's that now...

She shared the news with them, rejoiced with them and treated them like humans... someone has a problem with that it appears

That place should not have been given out for anything other than a community park

Citizens should have been involved too

LordBiden:
Where is the evidence wike is grabbing the said land.The said land was revoked because it was underdeveloped for over 15yrs, abandoned for years while shanties where built over it.


So asking people to do things right is now land grabbing.You believe sowere an attention seeker who is a sworn enemy of wike.

I am even sure you don't even know the issues surrounding the said jabi lake,you all just want to paint wike in bad light.

The money point guy goofed,he demarketted nigerias youth population education system amongst others

From someone that was a part of it all before fame,that's climbing up and throwing away the bridge

With friends like that who needs enemies? Even if it's true, (no talent in Nigeria) which it's not, there's a way at his level his words should build and not destroy

Nigeria is one of the places where the world sources and recruits top tech talents! Our fintech here is one of the fastest in the world,and it's run by naija boys.its a system others are still trying to copy and achieve.Know that and know peace

If money point can't find,he should check himself and his systems.

obiekunie01:
Dont mind them with these their defensive yarn.
FACT IS, EVERY EMPLOYER IN NIGERIA TODAY KNOWS THAT NIGERIAN YOUTHS OF THESE GENERATION ARE SO DISAPOINTING. TOO LAZY AND YET EXPECT YOUR TO PAY THEM HUGE FOR CONTRIBUTING FAR LESS TO THE GROWTH OF THE ORGANISATION.

Terrible work ethics. veery terrible and dishonest.

This is pure crap,blame your hiring managers for sending you their brothers and sisters to hire

If you want top talent in any industry there are well trained people that have invested time and effort into their career.

When you find them they know their worth,simple.on the other hand you lot can choose to train persons instead of complaining about lack of talent,nobody brought IT talent from heaven

algomachine:
Tosin just said trash, many Nigerians have talent and work in top companies, paying 1million for a top tier talent is rubbish today.

That's actually what they offer for junior tech roles and boys are still refusing the jobs,they are making more on their virtual roles and doing multiple gigs,why give it up to seat in a toxic bank till late at night

That said ,our labour laws and ministry are very weak...nigeria employers need to treat employees better

Beautifulday:
You have said it all. They want ready made talents with no input

They are actually roles many many,a dime a dozen if you are interested in them look an hr friend,they are always looking for tech persons,but real tech persons think their pay isn't worth it

Stop speaking on what you don't know

Moniepoint is a fintech,he needs tech boys

Naija wants to pay tech persons peanuts and use them like horses when they already get remote jobs that pay them steady without them leaving the house

Tech boys and girls are refusing naija tech role with nonsense pay and toxic work environments

It's not just moniepoint it applies across sectors and many banks

Naija should pay better and profer better working conditions.simple

These same tech persons that you say are unavailable are been recruited daily remotely with their naija education.be deceiving yourself,some even get coas to move

Allwell96:
If they are really going to upgrade the place, why go against it?

The question is upgrade it to what? For a location like that,the general public ought to be carried along and their consent sought

The real question is what was the land repurposed for

Last time I was in abuja there was a fence,leaving only 1/3rd of the park to the accessible to the public

The people there said the restricted parts were for a residential estate

Pastor Sarah is right in this one ,that land should have been left for the public,like central park. It's literarily where Abuja people do their morning walk,they were now cramped to the part that was left

Usurping green zones is wrong,whoever re allocated that land did a great injustice to the people of abuja

Talk of selfish interests over the common good. And why is Sarah omakwu the only one talking about it?

Africa needs to probe the protest leaders

Looks to me like the hands of esau and voice of another situation

They seem sponsored to say what others cannot say

In addition the AU should consider a trial of the protest leaders if it results in the lynching of any African.We must as a joint union take a stand against this as a deterent for future opportunists

How you lots willingly provide information without asking "why do you need to know"


that part we all need to relearn

you are also exploting them by putting up their pictures and names in this post, take them down,its a crime

you all should say the truth and do what needs to be done

Goverment should create a system that takes almajiri kids off the street give them rehabilitation ,vocational training, a decent home and reintergrate them into society at 18

ill say this is where the northern women and their gold have failed...they should have spear headed this at state level

society should also shame women who agree to be 2nd and 3rd wives to these men...... and the men too

that said this one doesnt look fulani... we need strong laws against kidnapping

you all underestimate the Nigerian police and armed forces. really.

They will get him. Hes a goner. He will be parraded when they choose to as for the eventual outcome after his arrests, thats the part we need to follow up better on. for example where is evans today. sentenced,yes...but where is he ?

watching to see what the political ,academic and religious leaders will say about the sentencing of these of these people knowing how other sane countries address this.

Silence should never be the option. societies dont grow when everyone sits on the fence and refuse to speak up in the face of evil.

The police have done their part,arrests have been made, whose part is next? who keeps an eye and reports to the public diligently on this case, how long should it take and how will it take?

I will say that Nigeria needs a special court (s) arrangement for terrorism related violence, it should be an open court, it should include military,police and other high ranked officers with standing protection in its ranks. Cases in that court and judgement should be fast tracked. This scenario where terrorism related charges goes through our long ,cumbersome existing legal process is justice delayed.... when justice is delayed,justice is been denied.... if we can do it for traffic offences, why not terrorism related violence and kidnapping?

Why? Nigeria cannot afford divisive decisions at a time like this.

Someone ought to take full responsibility for the blunder and the right agencies of the government must be seen investigating this as a future deterent


Which agency is responsible for investigating this at this time?
