When you complain, they call you a wailer, an unpatriotic citizen suffering from inferiority complex especially if you try to compare us with white countries.

When you mention that maybe we get Harvard and MIT grads or the best of the best here, to be leaders, they say they rather local, tested and trusted corrupt politicians. Their trust is directly proportional to the scale of corruption, the more corrupt you are, the more you are trusted.

When you say, okay let’s divide the country or at least have regions sort themselves out, they tell you that this British creation, one not of their own ancestral doing, can never be undone. Never ever ever!

Who are they? Your fellow Nigerians.

Can I even blame them? It’s like the chicken and the egg question, which came first? If the egg came first, then what laid it? If the chicken came first, then how did it come to be?

Leaders or more accurately, rulers here in Naija bastardize the country and leave citizens uneducated, citizens in turn support the corrupt leaders to further impoverish them. Who is to be blamed? The citizens or the rulers?

Anyways, may God be with you bro and help you to rise above the many challenges! It is about time I return to the deep, sigh.

What is holding Nigeria down?
By wrongful use of land mass or contrived population figures as yardstick, a fraudulent political structure was created by northern Nigeria through its soldiers between 1967 and 1996 when 19 states and Abuja were proliferated in one Northern region, but only 17 states allowed in the two old southern regions.
But land mass or population figures is never used as criterion to derive new federating units, like states or local government councils, in a country formed by diverse regions; worse, in a Nigeria under unitary government system.

The 36 states and Abuja political structure practically assigned absolute political powers to Hausa/Fulani-led northern politicians, channels more of the country's development funds and federal allocations to the northern region.
Northern politicians thus largely determine who should be presented to voters for presidential elections.
This way, barely qualified leaders are imposed upon the country through sham elections. Hyper Corruption becomes inevitable among the political office holders. It creeps into the private sector.
The fraudulent political structure ensures that no presidential candidate from the south of Nigeria can win Nigeria's presidential election, if northern region supports a northern presidential candidate. Thus, the self-acclaimed most educationally disasdvantaged northern region determines who leads Nigeria at every turn.

Northern, Eastern and Western regions formed Nigeria at independence. Why would 20 new federating units be created in ONE region, north; but only 17 new political units in the TWO southern regions?
If the political structure is not equitably rearranged in a democratic environment, the worst of Nigeria is yet to emerge.

Apt analysis, but do you honestly think getting the best of the best to lead will solve our problems I don't think so. What about those that are to be led, should they also be the best?

Inverter is dead over here, though our solar tried supplying 4kwh.

Gen is off, cause Diesel is pricey

I’m currently in my car enjoying small ac, before returning to the darkness.

Mosquitoes have no love men, and I think they are getting smarter. Don’t even know if mosquitoes have brains, or maybe they are evolving.

Someone might have brought it up already, but please be careful...it is dangerous. Make sure the fume from your silence isn't escaping in the car. Safe bro

Currently in my room, just rolling on the bed, heavy heat in the room as there is no light. Ontop of that, the neighbours generator just pounding my head heavily as the noise is just too much.

A lot of people are in this situation in Nigeria. How do they sleep also realising that plenty bills to be paid.

Apple fruit just one is now 250 naira, Airflight fare may be going to 120,000 naira per trip soon. Cost of things skyrocketing everyday in naija and salary still remains the same.

How do we sleep? God help us!

Truly, we need God's help.
Lagos is so hot as the average temperature has been about 29 degrees Centigrade, between the hours of midnight and 7am in the last few days. The public power supply has been non-existent too because of the collapse of the national grid.
You can not help but envy people living in PH where temperatures at about the above time has been about 20 degrees Centigrade, showing that it's cooler over there.

I can imagine and also in your shoes. However, you won't blame him since there is no light , you can't expect him to be in darkness if he has fuel in his generator. I urge everyone on this forum to try to devout at most 30seconds of our praying time and pray for this great country. Trust me he will hear our cries and give us succour in this times of hardship and distress. God bless Nigeria

Re: How Do People In Nigeria Sleep? by King44(m): 12:46am On Mar 17, 2022
Outside is the best place to sleep now, sleeping inside is like hell.

No light

And some idiat wants to vote Tinubu.

When there is no light, fuel etc how would one make money or live a relatively convenient life?

If Osinbajo no contest make e just die any political ambition o. Cos all the all options available a detrimental, the once that we perceive as none detrimental are not serious enough. Why must we choose between evils?

There are 2 things that baffle me about them.

Number 1, lots of them have flown planes before in the process of experience life in abroad. If you are a frequent flier, when you are on the air, whatever you might have acquired, should any slight error happen with the plane , all na vanity

Secondly, this abroad they have been running to, they don't just see, they witness and experience how things supposed to work, why is it hard for them to replicate same in their own country even for the fact that they are not going to use their personal money to do the development.

Years ago, a friend first visit to UAE, dude was crying... Cos he was wondering if their government are not from this planet considering the rate of development in used to be a desert ..

We have so many wicked souls in Nigeria calling themselves Politicians. Election is around the corner, they would come with new gimmick as they know average Nigerians can be bought with shekini money.

Poor Leaders , worse citizens

Considering your moniker's name, you shouldn't be on this thread if you have an iota of shame.

When the portfolio of power was given to Atiku, what did he do? He invited Mikano to come and add to the problem, same Atiku having imaginary thinking he would become Nigeria president in 2023..

Not in this country cos even God would be disappointed.

So before casting the stone, think twice
