Karleb:How can you compare Nigeria and Dubai? Nigeria get many tribes which always hate each other, Dubai is small maybe 7 million people with a long history of being together. You see why ibedun takes you indomie kids to the cleaners? ![]() |

Aderr:Did you see where I compared Nigeria to USA? Old cargo! |

Karleb:Young monkey. You can't compare Nigeria to USA. USA got its freedom in 1779, they speak one language, they have solid foundation founded on good xtian faith and Protestant beliefs. Nigeria lacks those. |

Karleb:Bro why replying him. They will always find excuses. if it's not population excuse it's the fact that they gained independence long time ago. Singapore is the same age with Nigeria. China started developing in the 80s. Vietnam the same. Excuses excuses for their failures. Dude is already calling you a monkey. First to abuse. If they abuse am now E go wan die. |

tensazangetsu20:Based on your calculation that gave rise to above summation, it is not hard to conclude you are one of the banes that stood in the way of progress for Nigeria. You cannot even apply derivative arithmetic to surmise the age of most Nigerians born before or after British granted independence to the country. At least, anybody with age of 55 years was born 5 years after British granted independence. How could Nigeria even begin to lay foundation of progress when the crop of the cream such as you cannot make use of simple extrapolation. Granted not everybody has the sense of numbers as evidential with your above post, however the basic knowledge of simple arithmetic is required in building foundation for national growth. |

tensazangetsu20:First to abuse? Did you read the post you quoted? You are no different from him. Singapore didn't gain independence from the British. I hope you knew that. ![]() |

Aderr:Bro\sis, most Nigerians seemed not to belong. They have silly tendencies to blame others for their shortcomings. |
| Re: Why Are Older Nigerians So Unfortunate? by Nobody: 9:15am On Oct 11, 2020 |
I don't like this kind of thread. People blaming others for what they can do for themselves. My only pain is after you.have arranged your path to success and other people out of entitlement mentality, push you off it. |

Dede1:I be bro o. ![]() Don't mind these boys and girls. Some of the banks and other companies they write application to were founded by those who are 40 and above. Most of the private schools helping these young boys and girls hold body and soul together were started by those who are above 40. Those who risked their lives to throw the military out in the 90s are all above 40 today. Now what are these young boys and girls doing with the democracy we have? They are the same corpers and thugs being used to rig elections. The same youths wasting away watching bbn and such trashy stuff. The same ones doing yahoo yahoo and kidnapping. But thank God for upstanding ones among us sha. ![]() |

ethicallyright:Regarding crowed Funding ,do you think if Nigerians have access to easy & cheaper loan with with lower interest rate like thier counterpart abroad, they would seek investors outside ?These investors have unlimited access to loan with very low interest rate, which makes them easily sought for for investment purposes . Do you think if the system makes it friendly for Nigerians to access these kind of loan at a minimal interest rate, they would go looking for foreign investors who will likely take the lion share of the profit ? We are still saying thesame thing but you just choose to closed your mind to what the op is saying . The young Nigerians have to struggle four times as hard on how to start up a business or earn a living in order to keep thier head up in a hostile country that has no plans for their younger generation .Yes I am agree with the Op. The older generation that have ruled this country in one way or the other are terrible elders and do not deserve any respect from younger Nigerian. One of them is presently ruling Nigerian and just look at his style or leadership ? Our old men have nothing to offer . The earlier we recognize this the better . |

Naughtysite:You are right. By nature human beings are not reasonable. My elderly boss told me that weeks ago. I was angry until I thought about it. How can you wake up and begin to blame others for your woes? I have seen youths from very poor backgrounds making it to the top of their profession through sheer stubbornness, grit, brilliance and Faith in God. |
| Re: Why Are Older Nigerians So Unfortunate? by Aderr: 9:22am On Oct 11, 2020 |
omoharry:You are mixing things up. The ruling class and the citizens are not the same. Remove all the old cargoes ruling Nigeria today and place people under 40 in their place, do you think this benighted youths you see will rule better? Nigeria has a bad foundation. |

After the war,Nigerians went into holiday mood and unfortunately those born or young in those Era are stuck looking for easy way to richees while waking up to a generation of youth that emulates them and some that hate their strides with passion. They have this deep down believe that respect is given by age and not earn by acheivements. I dont respect my elders when i see their line of thought are poor and there is no advancement in their words or understanding. |

tensazangetsu20:i doubt if the guy really understand what he typed, how can someone say Nairaland has no economic value. Should we talk about the ads? Should we talk about people getting job offers and contracts through this platform? should we talk about angel investors meeting entrepreneurs here? should we talk about those selling their stuffs and wares via this platform? Dude will just open mouth and be talking about economics this, economics that. |

ethicallyright:Does the govt have the political will to tackle Fulani herdsmen menace ? I have done different forms of Agric, it is not as profitable as people paint it. Though with thorough specialization, one can make a killing in it. But that requires enabling environment. |

The older generation never protested anything, Infact they convinced themselves it's the will of God, now a simple writeup is a silent protest, Let people vent, the older generation are more concerned with hisbah and foolish endeavors that makes the young even more subservient, Look at what they turned unionism into, it's important we start to point out their failures so we don't become like them, it's called taking stock, ibedun: |

MY BISHOP (KUKAH) IS ON LIVE TV NEWS NAILING NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT AND ELDERS. NAILING THEM MORE THAN A CARPENTER NAILS WOOD.. AND ONE FOOL IS HERE DRAGGING ME FOR STATING THE FACTS.

KEEP DECEIVING YOURSELVES, REALITY DOES NOT LIE.

Keep deceiving yourself,fool. Be waiting for someone to fight for you instead of holding the bull by the horn and see what you can leave for your own children. Your elders fought to push the wicked army boys out, faced guns and army boots, only for you the youths to be rigging elections for politicians and wasting away on social media. ![]() |

omoharry:My concern is not really your political views because they are your opinion and your right. My concern is the part in bold which is the future and thus more important. I'll write less and just raise points. (1) Investors are not like financial institutions who give loans and get repaid with interest. Investors are individuals or corporate bodies that pump capital into a business or an idea in exchange for a certain degree of control over the business. 2) Banks do not give loans to people just because of hope or trust because entrepreneurship is a pool of risk. Politicians get loans in Nigeria because they have the collateral. If the business fails they can get the loan back through the sale of the collateral which was valued to be the measure of the loan that was granted. Is it your family house or ancestral land that you will take to first bank or GtB? 3) Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter , Snapchat etc were not built with loans. I ask you to challenge me with evidence if you have one. These tech startups turned billion dollars multinationals because of venture capitalists and angel investors. (Example Evan Spiegel created Snapchat like any other app on the Apple store. Barry Eggers , the first investor had a daughter who was always bored. A certain weekend he noticed his daughter playing and very happy with her phone and as an inquisitive person Eggers who was impressed questioned her and discovered that a new app "Snapchat" which was then worth nothing made his favorite daughter happy. He reasoned that if Snapchat could make his girl happy, then he could get more money if he invested in the company as young girls and teenagers seeking fun would be interested in the app. That was how Spiegel got his funding in millions of dollars. If you don't understand this , think of Otedollar funding an unknown company because he reasoned that since it made a younger Dj Cuppy happy , it would be popular among the youths and make him and the founder more money.) Others like Facebook were crowd funded by Havard students and later by venture capitalist after Zuckerberg and his team showed them a long term plan for the company. 4. Nigerians who are under the ages of 40 have enough money to invest but they are more interested in quick returns. For a tech company to start yielding profit, it may take at least 5 years. It takes 3-6 months to package an artiste, get him a hit and then start making money from him. Victor AD which I'm well aware of his story had his label invest 20 million naira for his "wetin we gain" single. Emperor chizzy is under 40 and invested more than 50 million on Kiss Daniel, Sugar boy and the rest in his label who never succeeded. Erica got more than 30 million naira just from crowdfunding within a month after she was disqualified from big brother naija. Linda Ikeji would rather buy a room of shoes and 10 cars each for her brothers and sisters than investing as one of the youth who first discovered the money the internet offers. It is the youth in America that built silicone valley in California and funded their startups. The government of America has not spent a dime on the tech startups making waves today. They even want to tax them and have a share of their unstoppable wealth that didn't stop flowing even during the pandemic. Nairaland could have been a multi billion naira company if the youth understood the stock exchange market . Séun would have listed his company there . 1000 ,2000 ,3000 naira that an average youth uses to gamble could have earned him 5000 the first month at Lagos stock exchange if he knew what to do there. He would reinvest that 5000 the next month and get 20,000. While the youth in America prefer the New York Stock Exchange that will give 25% ROI and aid in production, our country prefers Ponzi schemes which promise 100% ROI and get scammed in the process. Only if they knew that school has never been a scam. |

See the lost generation protesting in support for SARS. I am sure they weren't given up to 2000 naira. Why are old Nigerians so unfortunate and so disgraceful. If your father dey that video. Na 600 years for him and everyone in your family. |

CAPSLOCKED:the 1st bolded, i strongly disagree that respect for elders is silly or was designed to keep kids below their parents, leaders etc. the 2nd bolded, our ancestors are achieved a lot. haven't you heard of the Benin empire? Oyo empire? but sadly with the coming of the white man, they destroyed and buried so much of our culture and who we are as people. Do you know how many Nigeria cultural artifacts that are in museums in the UK and europe? there is nothing wrong in respecting and listening to our elders, i'm happy you even added asia. do you know how much respect and love the asians shower on their parents and elders? In the end you too would become an old cargo. and if at your youthful age you engineered a society that has no regard for the elderly, you must be prepared to suffer the consequence in your old age. |
