I was hoping investors like dangote could come into the electricity problem but maybe I guessed wrong. People like him can help us achieve steady power you know?
Any business Dangote delves into will pauperize Nigerians more. Sugar was affordable until Dangote stepped in, cement was affordable until Dangote stepped in, now fuel is no more affordable since Dangote refinery started operation.

For me,, it's only ONE THING.

NIGERIANS.

By my estimation, Nigerians are the GREEDIEST and most dishonest people on earth.

We are also some of the most lawlessness on this planet too.

Nigerians are SICK.

And the most bizarrehuh

Most don't even realize they're sick.
There is no country where citizens don't have such tendencies. However, in advanced countries, government put very tight structures and enforceable laws as deterrents to such behaviours.

Tithes and offerings have reduced. No matter how hard I prophesy, members no longer bring money like they used to do before because things are hard.

I'm planning to relocate my spiritual center to the US. Trump is a Christian so he'll support me and force Americans to pay me for my prophecies.

This I have seen.

I suspect his father didn't die a natural death. It was all part of their plan to eliminate him. Imagine him having such amount when 35M had much higher value. This is a lesson for anyone reading to learn from. Not every friend can manage your success story. Especially in these times that things have generally gone worse. Keep all your winnings to yourself. If you are too excited not able to keep the good news, take a sit and place a large mirror
before you, look into the mirror and talk to yourself sharing your wins to yourself.

Can't fix something basic as electricity since 1960.
The power sector/national grid is a huge looting business.

A lot of Nigerians don't know that some Ministerial post are reserved for highly influenced individual who were huge financial sponsors during elections

Nigeria is not hard many people are weak waiting on government to fix them up. The beautify of a non working government is that once you get going you going. No government eye go de your body. No tax..no nothing. I cant remember when i pay tax for my business. I dont know what it even mean in business term. I mean it.


We are in internet age were you can literally teach your self stuff if you paying attention to the right thing. If you parents did not have phones internet and you do in you era and you worried about electricity.. and sure if electricity is steady people will blame something else. Look to yourself. The country could be better yes. So could you. Its a sin to lay everything on feet of the country. You are a full conscious being.

The stupid idiót that call himself Putindbutt won't see this thread.

The uséless bástard wants to die for Nigeria, a country that can't boost of something as simple as stable power supply.

Whereas, other smaller countries that possess no natural resources are providing 24hrs power supply to their citizens year in, year out.

The bástard child that call himself Putindbutt can't even boost of 3 square meals a day. But here he is wanting to die for Nigeria. After fooling himself, he will go and sleep in darkness, drink dirty water and walk on terrible roads.

What a shame!

Before APC, I was praying and working hard to raise my collective legit income to 300,000 per month in 5 years to make headway in life. This 10 years after and I feel depressed with a little over 300,000 per month .Nigeria is frustrating man!

Nigeria can break you into crime and all manner of evil vices if you are not strong willed.

Nigeria is too hot.

Nigeria does not have a good weather. The humidity is too damn hot, and just make one look so rough and tattered.

If you dress clean, and do not have an AC car, then proceed to use the public transportation to you destination, you wont smell good.

The smoke, dust, humidity, sweat and scorching sun are dangerous cocktails of abuse to your body, that you will end up smelling weird, even with deodorant.

Skin care in Nigeria is not about rubbing, washing, and applying one creme or the other, but to do your utmost best and avoid the sun, and be strategic on when you go out.

If anyone just leave Nigeria like this, they will just be looking fresh and smooth, even ordinary South Africa here, simply because West Africa in general do not have a good weather.

Have you seen Ghanians? lol

Something in the middle is good enough. But I prefer West Africa's weather to living in a snow filled area. The effects you listed have more to do with poor infrastructure - constant electricity, tarred roads, tight environmental laws to mitigate against pollution etc - rather than the weather itself.
