most of those houses in my village are unihabitted,
when you will be hearing strange noises in the night

Have u heard one or knew anyone that heard voices. Some of you keep repeating Nollywood stories.

Shows how far ahead these countries are, beautiful structures like these demolished for reasons other than structural defects.

Lakwe, Lagos state.

How can u be reached? Preferably by mail.

A lot of Nigerian youths are entrepreneurial and with passion to succeed but unfortunately our Nigerian state will kill any dream.
I decided to go into pure water production, no bank agreed to give me loan. Even BOI would see my track record before they would consider giving me. What track record? I am just starting. I rallied and got fund from friends and family. Now I have started but in 3 weeks, I have seen PHCN light just twice in that area and the power could not carry my reverse osmosis machine. So day in day out I run on diesel. You may want to know that diesel now sells from 195 to 205. I am unable to buy a truck no to take my water to market because of fund 2m. No bank again has agreed to give me, so I use my small car to hawk. I work as factory labor, I sell, I do everything to survive. I am determined to succeed but from my story you will all see that the government is nowhere to be found. I am waiting. Soon they will come for all sort of tax, fees and dues.
How will youths survive in this country? Prayer gives us solace, prayer gives u hope and the strength to move on. Now u want to take that from us?
Just like he has said (fasola), talking won't bring us out of recession either.

Bros which state is your business located?

Great job Op, while growing up my mum had a cat and I can't forget one Saturday morning we watched it fish out a big rat from one of our rooms and we all watched as they faught and our agile cat prevailed and killed it, it was entertaining to us as children then. The only minus was that it steals any carelessly left fish and meat. We mourned the day it was killed.

The level of superstitions in the country is worrisome, to make it worse none of these stories is ever verified, I might get a cat soon.

How will he now ask his members to trust God for protection?

Impossibility is only a mindset, over 98% of humans alive today can't do what he just did. Congrats.

This is the kind of encouraging news I wish for from North East, not all about Boko Haram. Am even surprised we have this kind of greenish scenery in north East.

If the Federal govt could do half of what Ambode and Willie are doing, there wouldn't be recession in the first place, but it's busy chasing shadows while the citizens die of hunger. If Ambode had spent half his time fighting Fashola (even though there is enough evidence of corruption by Fashola) the story would have been different today. I comment what Ambode is doing with major traffic bottlenecks in Lagos.

When the South East complained earlier, the governors were not heard but now that the injustice has gotten to them they are disturbing us with their noise. They initially thought it will be to their selfish benefit but it has backfired. Until we all realise that injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere we all will be moving in circles.

Opharhe:
That's Nice. A large deep seaport in Akwa-Ibom (Ibaka) will be very desirable in opening up and fully unlocking the economic potentials in the Eastern territories especially the South-East.
Tact and doggedness, my people. It can only get better.

It's highly necessary to decongest Lagos and create room for efficiency, it makes no sense travelling miles to get what can still be gotten meters away.

I went through NAHCO 2015 report and this caught my attention. This speaks volume of how much the South East desires basic infrastructure from the Federal govt.

In 2015, NAHCO maintained relative stability in its performance and operations. We handled a total of 39,699 flights compared to 35,557 flights handled in 2014. This is an improvement of 11%. However, this increase was made possible by domestic operation (non core) and the opening of the Owerri Station, which grew 564%; and Enugu flights, which increased by 218% within a short period. NAHCO, in 2015 commissioned the Enugu Cargo warehouse, which we believe would go a long way in opening the South Eastern regional economy to the rest of the world and enable Enugu to handle international cargo and enjoy international passenger services.

Isn't it annoying that so far there is no public enlightenment on what to do in situations like this?This absence of info leads to the cconstant cases of hit and run.

May God bless the OP, you did ur best.

Gov't of vengeance, isn't it foolishness to think that a strategy that did not keep Igbos down in 20th century even under military rule will succeed in a 21St century democracy?

Am waiting for NYSC to do same, kudos to the military

If the North does not want federal characters now what about recruiting on merit? Give them exam and other merit based criteria and recruit the best.

There's nothing wrong in having Godfather if that said Godfather is a visionary. Nigeria problem lies in the fact that all those Godfathers were only concerned with their pockets and storing wealth for their future generations without any recourse to the plight of the common man.
Tinubu is no saint but looking at his antecedents, he is the kind of leader I would love to follow. I know that he bought Lagos but he is better than other fooolish politicians who steal our money and take it abroad to white people. The same money we will go to beg for with interest.
But looking at those Tinubu have helped to key positions, it is obvious that there's no better politician when it comes to choosing the best hands.

Why seek a godfather in the first place if we can achieve same result without a godfather. Don't rate the success of those he put to power by Lagos alone, consider Osun too. Lagos is rich, a teenager can succeed as Lagos governor. How much success has been recorded by those he installed in other states?

All these attempts to change the narrative will not succeed in this social media Age. We are all witnesses to how and when it started. I say capital NO to any form of godfather in our country. Godfatherism was adjudged the second biggest challenge to our political development after corruption under Obasanjo. The emergence of GEJ distorted it and people want to use the back doors to return us back to the dark age.

Our politicians are all corrupt but competitive corruption is better than monopolistic corruption.

arresa:
The man was indicted almost 2 decades ago and never brought to justice under 2 PDP administrations and they did nothing, no arrest, no trial and no jail. and it's this new administration that's keeping mum?

16 years of PDP did not have access to the so called white paper?


The looted funds belongs to the people of cross river state so why didn't they pursue the matter with arrest, trial and jail or even petition for action.

If there is such indictment and white paper, then this administration should move fast and act.

I agree with you but if Buhari could prosecute Saraki for offence commited more than a decade ago then there is no excuse for this.

This is the best news I have heard about Nigeria in over a year, let's buy Nigeria.

My first was a BRT bus which left its dedicated lane and wrecked my bumper and door. I blocked it and caused small scene. The cost of repair was 14k, the driver paid 7k out of it and begged me not involve his office to avoid sack.

Until they implement pay as you watch I'll remain with Gotv. My Dstv decoder has been gathering dust for over a yr. Why should I pay for a month and watch it only 6hrs in a week?

Why are people insulting the OP? I drove for almost 2 years before I had the experience and I thought something serious was wrong. I had to consult Google like OP did. If you know already, allow others to know, NL is for both the experienced and the learners.

I used to think smart people can't be victims of 419 but Oby has proved me wrong. She is a victim of APC high powered scam. Obama and his wife realised early and never talked about Chibok girls again. CNN especially that Liberian newscaster said Chibok girls was her biggest tragedy of 2014 even when Ebola was ravaging her country Liberia. All these people have gone cold on Chibok except Oby.

As it's now, only God can repair her damaged reputation.

Nigeria is in a reccession because we are earning less than we used to, thus our spending is a lot higher than our earning. Devalued currency, devalued stock market, higher energy/food/fuel prices, negative growth etc are all symptoms of a recession...

No sir, we are in a recession because we have a govt that does not know what to do to stimulate growth. The current price of crude is same to what it sold when Yaradua was in power and to counter the effect of drop in price Yaradua made peace with Militants in order to increase volume of sale. But King Buhari chose to war with militants thus losing both the price and volume.

What is the relationship between low price of crude and high price of GarrI and rice? The gov't is confused simple.

So we lost our economy in pursuit of #70billion?This govt wrecked our economy in the name of fighting corruption yet what we can boast of is this paltry figures that can't pay one month salary. Our stock exchange alone lost far more than this figure.

Penny wise pound foolish gov't. By the time you are done, economy would have backtracked to where Abacha left us. Every time a northerner is in power our growth suffers.

Lies travels at a speed of light but truth will always catch up. I pity those that called GEJ clueless. Time shall tell who is actually clueless.

This is far beneficial to Nigeria than Dangote's attempt to buy Arsenal

Am a fan of Ben Bruce but the power to make the change is with him not us. Propose the bill now or never.

Good development but after encouraging us to buy Lagos don't turn around to ask me to go home. A cosmopolitan city like Lagos needs this kind of law and order.

Coordinating people who are older than me.
