Awolowo started this , now it is going global. I just hope it stays this level because the day igbos out of anger are frustrated to leave Lagos then it will be over for Nigeria

PrettyRX:
Lives lost due to negligence. Most of these public transport is just the grace of God. From wornout system, faulty brake pads plus carefree drivers.
Lack of good roads, a popular GO's son diverted funds meant for Kaduna road. God will not come down to save us

Nvestor02:
This is a coordinated movement to stop anybody that wants to cause mayhem in the FCT.

If you want to commit suicide without you being burry by your family, then go to Abuja with the intention of committing mayhem.

If these terrorist people that call themselves protestors destroy Abuja, FG will use oil money to rebuild it

All my prayer now is that FG should remember my architectural company when rebuilding Abuja.

Once again, I stand on my belief that Tinubu has really tried in his administrations as he has taken many bold steps that make me believe that he has the intention of ruling Nigeria in a good way.

Polygamy? She is not his wife, but he still tricks. He is chasing her not the other way around.

Weknowbetter:
She is not the problem, the married man is. He needs to keep his interest in his wife and bills and stop being a trick. She should continue to spend his money and laugh in his face. If he see being a human bankcard leads him no where he will stop.

fadilaMaikiriki:
So you must sleep with someone before you render assistance to them or even gift them something?

Joshy4u:
Useless CJN that is dancing with Wike and APC.
I just pity that country called Nigeria.

While I share in your frustration about the state of the nation let's get one thing straight. It's not just about salaries o. How are you expected to do your job with zero support as regards labs, office space, lecture rooms? For your info we use waste paper to send memos and result vetting for senate for goodness sake! We practically use our own money to print official documents. You say they earn more than civil servants. How much is a professors salary? This is after sinking millions over 20 years on average getting this knowledge with little or no sponsorship o. Practically all the buildings are TETFUND sponsored. That's thanks to ASUU. They have raised school fees, my final year students can't even perform in a lab cos no reagents or test tubes. The problems are endless, the system is dying and the quality of graduates is worsening. I can guarantee you the turnover rate of qualified lecturers and researchers in universities is growing. We lost a lot of colleagues to brain drain last year and it's poised to get worse. FG doesn't consider education a priority like pilgrimage and the lecturers are losing their passion.
You say ASUU should fight? The same students we fight for for better service delivery will call all lecturers pedophiles, rapists and handout salesmen. Na the same students you say mk we bleed for? The last 8 months strike, dem pay complete?

rezy15:
Define amicably. Doesn't it boggle the mind that we are still talking about negotiating a 2009 agreement that govt keeps running away from? Multiple attempts by ASUU to get federal government to make good on signed agreements and they are still called names. If government is sincere these demands by ASUU will be met by sundown. I doubt earned allowance owed is even up to half of 90bn but they rather spend on Hajj with zero returns on investment

Zooposki:
This Adeboye is just a big time crook. He wants to swallow the money without any queries. Oloriburuku.

Angelfrost:
Every step taken to mitigate the demand and dependence on the Dollar at the detriment of the Naira is most welcome.

Nothing will give me more joy than to see Nigeria's economy soaring high.


I await to see the prices of goods and services plummet all over the nation.

Pharmaceuticals are still very expensive.
And God bless you abundantly for wishing Nigeria well. And you will see those days and me too in Jesus name

CountinBlessins:
Man you are very unintelligent. You talk so much nonsense all the time. Ordinarily I would chuck it up to very poor quality education but your pattern of behavior shows an extremely low IQ individual who is garrulous and not very bright .

What do you mean by consult with foreign airlines ? Did they consult with Nigerian aviation minister or sector before tripling and quadrupling their ticket prices ?

Stop always confirming our suspicion that you are very unintelligent and learn to be silent when faced with topics your handicapped IQ cant handle .

Learn to think like a patriot and not be always so hateful and negative.
Keep your stupidity focused on your family and not this nation.

We all want a better Nigeria

Obviouslyblunt:
they left the strike before ASUU.

Front0lane:
This comment show you have never left the shore of Nigeria. No country i visit trade in dollar nor operate domiciliary acct in other currencies Nigeria should do same. There is no talk about isolation on that.

God bless you, this has always been my position. Everyone has Dom account in Nigeria and is highly disgusting. This insane practice is only seen in Nigeria.

Domaining101:
Heaven knows that even if they somehow managed to turn every BDC in Naija to endangered species, Naira will still not recover because those guys are not the problem of the naira. Tinubu came with Zero vision about how to fix this country, he just wanted to be President for President sake. Peter Obi was the only man that had a plan, the man said he will transform Nigerian from a consuming to a producing nation and funny enough, that bolded statement is the only thing that can rescue the naira. Every other thing na just sakamaje.

jojothaiv:
The day a man is born the same moment is old enough to die, there's nothing like too young to die.

I look back at 2020 with not so fond memories and I just act indifferently to the thought of dying and dealing with the loss of loved ones.

May 2020, my woman died courtesy of raged truck driver and the high flying Okada rider, didn't set my eyes on her remains till date.

August 2020, the last born of the family, my favorite sibling gave up the ghost when she was admitted to the hospital, in the doctor's word, 'the malaria must have eaten deep into her' She was a sweet soul and quite matured for her age but death don't share in my pity.

October 2020, death waved grand ma in and it was devastating because I couldn't bring myself down to Badagry to pay my last respect. Keep resting ma.

November 2022, can't forget big daddy death, he called me few days before my birthday telling me how he was so proud of the boy, little did I know that dead men sorry ghost actually tell tales and damn, his light forcefully switched off.

In between those events, I've learnt to let go of my sentiments about dying, I believed in the powers of praying but when it comes to death, I don't waste my time any longer, we can only try but the bell will toll for whoever is next, be less emotional when any news of loss is being shared and lastly, I've used the words 'It Is Well With My Soul' as a coping mechanism.

Some circumstances just make a man heart cold, you'd hear their stories and sob for them.

wisefingers:
7th of December 2023 at about 10pm, few hours to the naming ceremony, a day I will never forget, 6days after she gave birth to our one and only child during our first year of marriage.

The trauma began when she started complaining of cramps in the morning, I called the doctor and we went to the hospital afterwards, they attended to her through the day and she was getting stable, we were waiting for her to finish the last drip and get discharged when all of a sudden she started gasping for breath and in the space of 30 seconds before the medical team could do anything she gave it up right before my eyes.

Till today as I type, the shock hasn't left me, coupled with the fact that I was living with Anxiety disorder before the incident. This has taken me in and out of mental health clinics since then. The baby is barely 3months old, all by myself, life feels empty and miserable.

I will forever live with your memories Eunice. I love you.

nairalanda1:
Yeah, but let's be honest, maintainig subsidy has brought a lot of problems for our economy.

Now, let's be honest, I think there should be some subsidy for say the poorest of the poor. But what makes subsidy impossible in Nigeria is simple....we don;t have enough money for it. Yes our politicans loot, but we spent 10 trillion naira on subsidy in 2022, and 14 trillion in 2023. I doubt that any politican has looted that amount at all.

Either we do as sane nations do and raise our tax to gdp and get the money that way, or we sell more cocoa, cotton and solid minerals to raise monies for things like fuel subsidy. Either that, or we forget about subsidy.

franchasofficia:
There are more humane ways to handle the woman.


From age 80, most humans become kids and start to act like kids, and at that stage they need compassion and not cruelty.


If you are empathetic in life, no matter what, you will never maltreat anybody even when they push you to the extreme.


Empathy makes us humans.



Can you handle your own mother that way, ask yourself that.



The woman is in agony due to health challenges arising from old age, she need compassionate care and empathy to care for her. Don't support evil in the name of race.


If a caregiver treats your own aged mother that way how would you feel? Will you be happy to watch it?



If you wish to grow old, have it at the back of your mind that you might be in similar mental state like that aged woman they were rough handling. Yes some aged people are more difficult than others to care for, but if you have empathy, you will always try to treat them passionately.

stanliwise:
Trillions from where
So how about other sectors?

Oakenshield:
so if u were the one wouldn't u be happy after Akeredolu wife and son rubbished the deputy governor. All those fake signatories na, he was right to celebrate because he is now the Power and all. So u expect him to be sober in public and laugh in private. Allow new governor

Angelfrost:
Op, most of your points are blatant, needless, and laughable LIES!

But, it's okay... I can understand the need to soothe your personal deficiencies.

Personally, I'm neither for nor against migration...!

Whatever reasons people have for leaving their countries, we should respect them. Same way those choosing to stay back should be equally respected.

None should be deemed better than the other... This is why I find both Pro-Japa and Anti-japa posts/threads very STUPID!

No man or woman should be told or unduly influenced about his or her choices... If Nigeria is not working for you, and you know out there will meet your life expectations, then don't hesitate to get out.

On the other hand, if Nigeria affords you the best of life, ignore these Japarians... Stay back, and live your best life.

At the end, whether in Nigeria or abroad, happiness is the same.

ibawon:
I said it earlier that Emefiele was not acting alone. He had a Boss that approved all his moves. So why is he the only one answering questions now. Nigeria is fantastically corrupt country.

Objectivist04:
But on a second thought, I informed you that I am resigning, tendered my resignation letter and left, nothing was done in secret ,.then you still went ahead to credit my account at the end of every month and I am to be blamed ? How ?
The doctors might not even be aware of what is going on as they might no longer be using their Nigerian bank account and also might not be receiving credit alert due to change of phone number.

alimiadedayo1:
and some stupid folks were supporting F.g because of their hate for lecturers

OneCandleAway:
How much is ASUU even requesting for, wasn't it less than 2 trillion naira?

Yet they haven't given them the funds, increased school fees but can use 12 trillion for fake maintenance.

God will punish all these people

othermen:
Public universities are not attractive. So, if you want to academics you go abroad. In Nigeria, an executive assistant in access bank earn more than a reader.

ufotunang:
..that is why they do not want Peter obi to be president...with Peter obi all this diverting, embezzling, looting and chopping of our money will stop

gidgiddy:
Funny, I have never seen a Yoruba man curse Babangida for annulling the 1993 elections

I have never seen a Yoruba man curse Abacha for arresting and detaining Abiola

Had either Babangida or Abacha been Igbo, we no for hear word since then till now
