The good old days.I was born here in Lagos and grew up in Ogun State,but im from Delta State.Growing up,we had nothing but we were very satisfied with the little we had.Things started going bad when we were deceived by Tinubu and APC that Buhari was the Messiah.It got so worst that Nigerians started collecting loan to make ends meet.Then Tinubu came onboard,to say things are worst is an understatement.How we can recover from this mess is something I dont see happenning.Tinubu has totally destroyed Nigeria. |

Originalsly:Islamic jihad is our number 1 problem. There is internet everywhere. Islamic jihad is making government appropriate trillions for security, it's destroying trust, people now hate each other, yet the zombies still love that culture of death. |

Image123:You must be living in delusion and falsehood. You need to be checked properly because I don't see how someone like you would cope in a civilised society where things are done based on merit and needs. That you cannot engage in meaning discussions without mentioning the names of one aspirant or the other shows how low some of you think. |

Rapmoney:With all due respect, I am going to disagree with you. I am not here to support any politican by the way, because Nigeria is bad now, we all can see it. But the 1980's and 90's...lol First security. If you lived in the North in the 1980's, as a christian, you had to be watchful, because at any time t...there could be religious riots breaking out. I can remember 1987, which was so bad in certain parts of the North. Add the fact that there was a Boko Haram variant in the North called Maitatsine...which took five to six years to put down (back then, LIbya and many other countries were stable, and the modern concept of jihadism was not around then)...and so forth. Then student riots. Today, student riots and protests are peacefully put down. BACK THEN...Oh my effing g-d. They would just send in MOPOL and the Army, who will go in and open fire and kill, kill, kill. 1986 was a really godawful year for student riots. Armed robbery. Mein Gott..it was so bad, that my mum used to tell my dad ...don't travel at night, and my dad too would be like..no need to tell me I know. Armed robbers were on the roads, shooting and killing and robbing people. Especially on the night flight. And armed robbery and raids on private houses self were live. Unless you lived in a sorta gated community, you were in deep soup. Burglary, etc. You locked your doors. And it seems you have forgotten Anini...and he was not the only one. There is a reason why SARS was set up back then...it wasn't for fun. THere was a serious crime rate back then. Despite all the executions and so forth. (Infact one of my parent's friends who travelled a lot used to travel with a gun in his car. 1990'S Nigeria...though he eventually sold it, after an incident involving a pastor and police tailing him in 1997) KIdnapping was not bad as it is now...but it was there live and direct. Kids were told to be careful. Do not talk to strangers, do not listen to them. A child I knew was kidnapped in 1990...THIS is not fairytale, this happened to someone I knew...and if he did not manage to escape, he would probably have been dead, or worse. Kidnapping for rituals, live and direct. It happened. I even see you mentioned fraud. Internet fraUD in nIgeria is descended from an old fashioned fraud that has existed since the good old colonial times. 419 was live in the 1980's. The internet fraud you see today came from there. It has always been there. And get rich quick was there...it has always been there. It did not start yesterday, it was there even before 1966 self. ANd you mentioned bodies in septic tanks. Yes o...it happened. GO and read what happened to Nigeria Airways's first female pilot (not Nigeria's first ever female pilot, the first female to work for Nigeria airways as pilot). Murder was happening live and direct. And everybody was japa then. Infact the reason why japa numbers were lower then was because people were very poor, and because the LIbya route had not opened until the 1990's . Only the educated were japa then Please do not romantisice the 1980's and 1990. I was there, and it was godawful. Even now some(NOT ALL) things are better...and things can get better.(if Nigerians change their attiude)..but because most of you guys do not want a producitive economy, but a share share money economy...yes including emilokan geng...that is why things get worse and will keep getting worse until we go from chop to produce. |

nairalanda1: Your last paragraph shows the warped way you see things. You talked about things getting better, right? I laugh. Things get better when people in authority do things differently that will improve situations. But here, we have same people doing things even worse than the way they have been done, and you are still adding 'things getting better' in your statements? You must be sleeping. |

Image123:Why are you so timid? Anyone who talks about Nigeria's issues is automatically a Peter Obi supporter to you. I rather argue with a child in Pry 3 from a village school than argue with you. Bye. |

Rapmoney:NOte that I didn't say everything is getting better. Yes, nowadays we all have phones, we can contact nepa and yell at them direct (back then if NEPA took light, dem no go hear una..lol) and when students protest, no one sends in MOPOL with orders to shoot and kill without asking questions. But things are worse elsewhere...economics and kidanpping wise and a host of other things. I mean, we gat a virtual second civil war happening in the North East. But my point stands. It was not a bed of roses in the 1980's and 90's.Like for example, ya said fraud started more recently. LOL..419 was there since the 1980's if not earlier. It got worse when the internet came online. I am not supporting tinubu, never voted for him ,and I am voting him out self. But Nigeria has never been good...because we no dey put pressure on our leaders to make it better by supporting things that would improve productivity. We want any government that comes in to share money. That's why I gat no hope even if we vote out APC ...because the new government would be hit with demands for money, not development. Food for thought for most of you nairalanders, emilokan and obident, and atiku and everyone else. |

dederocs:"Islamic jihad" is the shout of one who does not think for himself but serves as an echo ... repeating what he heard...does not understand and therefore cannot defend what he's saying. Let me ask ..... would you expect an Islamic jihadist to be killing Muslims or Christians? Do you know that less than 6 of victims are Christians? ...more than 90% are Muslims? How do you explain this? This should make us ask ourselves who really are these terrorists?...and what do they really want? Because of this....I believe this is not about religion..... it is about terrorizing people in certain areas to get them off the land. I guessed the insecurity is sponsored by foreigners who likely want to exploit the natural resources of the land. I saw a post that makes a whole lot of sense. Bill Gates and his people are behind it.What ....Who ??They are after the farm lands...... targeting farming communities ...the North .... drive away the farmers...destroy their crops ...create a food shortage.... then when the farms are abandoned due to the insecurity...they step in to "help" by providing GMO seeds to restart the crops. Who controls the seeds controls the food....controls the people. He has the technology to introduce disrupters to our body systems through the modified crops. Depopulation is very much alive. The insecurity in the agri belt... a stage in the agenda |
