I hope this is not true.

Cause this is very bad.


Igbos learn to address issues insulting Buratai or anybody won't remove anything from him neither would it solve the problem.

If we address the issue we might be able to gather sympathy enuf to solve this problem.

What is right is right. Trump was insulted up and down by Americans, even popular ones, it didnt stop Trump from losing. Black Africans are something else. Always looking for respect for elders who didnt respect them selves. Respect is earned and not forced.

Hmm men! Common 5k.
I don't blame him. He had just 200naira left in his acct. Jobless he-goat. His mates are out there hustling to better their lives and family while he's there using the stipend his parents gave him to mess around.

Well, this mindset right here is why our banks keep stealing little amount of money from Nigerians.

Fruad is fraud irrespective of the amount involved. I made a post like this before that if u as a lady had an agreement to visit a guy and u requested for money to facilitate the trip, if u fail to show up. The person can sue u. U took money without rendering your service. The best thing is to return the money.

Now, many ladies eat this way. They collect money from many guys each week with the promise to visit. At the end, she might have collected up to 30k that week in total. She will keep giving them excuses.

That is bad. Just that some people just overlook the money. I'm happy this guy didn't. Just the way our banks steal from us and we will be like it is small change. They do that to millions of customers and make millions. Naija is useless.

chatinent:
In Nigeria, it's lawful.




Clearly, it's because of the overwhelming power constituted on the chief executive.


We operate dictatorship in the guise of federalism.

Yes.. We run a useless stsyem of govt. It is actually a dictatorship.

Sadly, Buhari has done even worse and those to come after him we be learning badly from him. Nigeria is finished. The next president will be so terrible.

Tedpgrass:
Oga,

How does change of name equate to demonstration of love??

*****whistling off-- stirring up the pot!!! *****

.

How does doing wedding equate to love?


If u don't Wana see what I'm saying forget it.

If the man loves it, do it for him. He also went thru stress marrying u. Everything must not be stress free. There are some stress we must go through for the sake of who will love.

If I'm to choose, marriage list and all that stuff, I wouldn't want to do it. But for the sake of the woman we love, some men even end up doing wedding they don't desire.

Chii59:
What a juvenile attempt at shifting the goalpost. Rest!

The point is: nothing is too stressful to be done for who u love.

If men begin to look at the financial stress they encounter all in the name of marriage and wedding, they wouldnt be doing at all.

Brownpeanut:
It is not hectic for a rich man who knows what he wants.

Changing of name is not hectic for a lady who knows what she wants and loves her husband

Chii59:
Didn't you just read the write - up? In a fully functional digital system, once you decide to change your name, it should reflect on all your documents, BVN, NIN, everything!
Wheh you get married, I hope you're willing to help your wife with the tedious process financially and otherwise. Afterall na your name she wan carry

We also need to change our marriage traditional marriage system that put all the financial burden on men. In working society too, the financial burden is not on men alone

Brownpeanut:
It's a very hectic process.

How about the hectic processes involved in marrying a lady in Nigeria? Have we considered that one too?

drlaykay:
They have been misbehaving holding the protest as excuse.
It's just their usual laziness

Someone once sold a vehicle I asked him to repair at a ridiculous sum, then absconded. A friend saw the vehicle already registered by another person. He packed outside a bar.
I quickly went to the police to lay a complaint.
Instead of mobilising and follow me to the site, I was told to go and stand in front of the bar and watch the guy until he comes out then I should give them a call.
That was 2014 before endsars

No one is holy in Nigeria. Nigerians are the most difficult people to govern. With a useless police stricture that favours a particular tribe. Was at a police station two years ago, I couldn't believe how almost everyone in that spacial unit is from the north becus the oga was a northerner.

Nigerians are not ready to fix their country. To fix Nigeria, we need to go back to the foundation of her existence which is faulty. The foundation is fraudulent and anything built on fraudulent foundation can never work. We are all deceiving our selves.

Across the security units in Nigeria, we have embraced studied nepotism and tribalism. People who don't have the mental capacity to lead are the ones leading.

Nigeria is dead. And can never rise until we tell our selves the truth.

And many Nigerians are fraudulent no wonder many countries and institutions around the world add extra layers of sceurty check on Nigerians. Dubai is a recent example. Foolish country.

Egypt is a tourist country and u will see many tourist sites.

HigherEd:
It appears to me that the solution to our problem is restructuring. However, if this is not possible in the short term then southerners need to reorganize and better our politics.

Force the country into a two party system by spinning off a southern middle belt party (SMBP) or give it a less conspicuous name. This would represent everything the south wants within the federal system - peace, fiscal federalism, state police?, freedom of and of religion, free speech etc.

Almagamate the entire political structure of the South into one political party - the same way the south of US is a republican stronghold.


The north would be forced to spin off a political party to counter the south. But it won't mean much if we can get the kwara, kogi, plateau on board and get greater control on who the president would be and battle NASS to standstill until our agenda passes.

[/b]Until the three political zones down south can fuse into one strong political structure the northern oligarchy would keep playing tennis with our heads.

Brilliant idea. Bro, this is amazing. Can we all see how to make this possible? This can be done. I have been saying this.

Southern Nigeria is the one losing in this union and Nigeria has matured enough for her people to redesign what the British did. Even in the area of VAT, majority of this comes from southerners. Our money and sweat is what they use to sustain this country.

Our politicians don't care much because they also get paid from this wealth. U know an average black man is selfish. As long as it is good for him and his family, others can burn. He doesn't care.

What can we do as younger generation to unit southern Nigeria and push for proper restructuring in the future? I am very much interested in this. Southern Nigeria has the brain. Extremely brilliant young people. We can push this. In a normal setting, southern Nigeria should be ruling this country not the other way round.

Comedian2019:
Are they going to be showing EPL and UCL? If not, then it's not for me.

Better stay with dstv o. Becus they add EPL and champions league, it will be as expensive as dstv. Those leagues are so expensive to acquire.

Arewa1stSon:
Anything to maintain morality in the north is allowed!!

We have places that beers are sold in every city of North...

We are not trying to stop the sale of Alcohol in the north..

We are strictly regulating its consumption among Young people.

If it pains you... Go to hell!!
We only license few hotels to sell beer and even run brothel...

We all know wassup but will never openly support immorality!!

It's against our social standards!!

The north is waking up to human development...

We can't afford junkies on our streets!!

Time will come where everybody will be free to do drugs, alcohol, and olingo openly...

But we must attain some level of human development and exposure!!

Hope killing of cows in the north is not bad too? At least, we are regulating how the cows destroy the farmlands of our farmers in the south.

Health care in Nigeria is pathetic. And probably the worse in the world.

forgiveness:
Livability is different from development. I agree Windhoek is more livable than Lagos.

What is development? You guys are so funny in Nigeria. So, buildings alone make up development?

Many cities in Europe don't have giant buildings but are way more developed than anything u can find in Nigeria.

The cities u mentioned in Africa, majority of them have stable electricity, access to emergency services, well organized traffic system, access to health care facilities, water supply, organized police system, etc. These are development.

Pls, don't mention Rabat, Cairo, to your list. These ones have solved some of the problems Nigeria as a whole is battling with.

frankson1:
Are you trying to say the Governors can't develop or attract investments/investors to their respective states they govern?

Are you saying they can't build standard roads?
Are you saying they can't build low-budget houses for workers?
Are you saying they can't pay workers salaries and pensions on time?
Are you saying they can't put and end to lootings in their domain?
Are you saying they can't create jobs in their states?
Are you saying they can't invest massively in agriculture so there would be enough and cheap produce?

Do they need executive power to carry out the things I mentioned and many others?

They keep making you guys think Abuja is the problem. Believe me, if the Governors are responsible and provide good governance, things would be a lot better.

Yea, they cant becus we run a useless unitary system. U dont understand. Take away oil money and allow states to hustle. That is when they can hustle. Our system is useless..

And why cant FG build all those things you listed? FG has useless universities, FG cant build standard roads, FG cant attractive enough foreign investments. FG is richer than all the states put together, so why cant FG get it done? Everything that FG is handling is a chaos. States even build FG roads.

If u guys wants more competitive and viable states, grant states more powers and resource controls to manage their affairs. It is as simple as ABC

osamz007:
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, ARE TRAFFIC OFFENDERS SHOT IN OTHER COUNTRIES.. let's be reasoning abeg

Nigerians hardly obey laws and are one of the most difficult people to manage. There is this busstop I know of, the place is congested, so bike people usually stay close there and make every where to look congested and lawless. This sometimes lead to crashes.

Police have calmly told the bike people and sellers to move away from that roundabout so as to create enough space to avoid crashes. They have spoken to them calmly, but they will not obey. I mean, these police traffic workers. U know they are usually calm and never armed. They citizens never, ever listened.

At some points, the govt brought in armed soldiers who came with brutal force to chase the people away. The place got cleared for some days. The soldiers left. After some days, the people returned to that place again. The place became a mess.

The govt brought in wicked police officers led by a lady. She wasnt armed but had her wood or so. She was brutal and rugged. She hit bikes, gallant and brutal. People obeyed and left. The place became calm again. But the police team have left. The place is messed up again.

The issue is: are we supposed to behave like this? Why cant we obey laws? Must we be forced to obey laws? Nigerians are extremely difficult to manage. That is why I do not always blame these security men when they get out of control.

Why are we this hard to manage?

thebosstrevor1:
Pack of lies.

Go and check ur exclusive and concurrent lists, u will understand why many people are clamoring

thebosstrevor1:
Pack of lies

Ordinary road and schools, your governor can't create. Simple park or sidewalk he can't create, or does he need the federal government to build parks and sidewalks

Your governor can as well just create state railways, state electricity just like what Lagos is doing.

Continue giving excuses to the thief sitting in the government house of your state

Hahahahhaaja, states can't create electricity.

U don't know what u are talking about. After creation, the electricity is sent to national grid and shared. It is waste of money. No state wants to do it that way.

State roads are still better than FG roads. Everything FG is managing is useless in Nigeria. From health care to roads, to electricity, to police, to security, to finance, etc. States even build FG roads and wait for FG to refund it. And states are not as rich as FG. FG is richer than all the states put together. Yet, states build FG roads and build their own roads, states even buy weapons for police which is under FG. Nigeria runs the most useless system of govt. No county runs this type of unitary system. Even Brazil has a better feserla system.
States and local govt are closer to the people, so they need to be allowed to be fully independent. FG is not close to the people. If I don't have electricity, I need to travel to national assembly to go and protest becus my state has no control.

Have ever wondered why no state in Nigeria is developed? They are all underdeveloped with dirty looking state capitals, beggars and poor health care system.

thebosstrevor1:
Packs of lies.

Ur governor has no control over the security, including police.

He has no control over electricity!

Your governor has no control over economic index that stimulate growths

He does not control railway
The list goes on. And these are core factors. Nigeria runs a unitary system of govt.

GallantDuke:
Is like you have comprehension problem

..


He does not understand logic.

My governor has no control over major things that cause development. Those things are controlled by FG. I can't blame my governor yet since he does not control those things.

I used to tell people that in Nigeria, our governors and local govt councilors are ceremonial in nature. They are just enjoying life becus they dont have real executive power. That is why most of them try so hard not to displease the central govt.
Even their own security details can be changed overnight. We run a useless system of govt.

favor914:
When you don’t have an argument it becomes bmc crew that helped Buhari defeat Jonathan & Atiku of Pdp? Useless ipob infant, your Igala Oga is enjoying winter in the United Kingdom, who has jumped bail, and left the mumus to face the heat in the East, talk of Mumurism? Disgusting.

But is it fair that govt is banning everyone who write against it? It doesn't make sense. It is unfair to treat ur citizens that way.

Many people are locked up for criticizing the govt. So bad.

Vardanes2:
Into how many countries will we divide.

This isn't 1960, even now, everyone wants to be strong and independent.

Plus, all this concentraiton on resuorces is why we are underdeveloped. You want splititng up because you think you will benefift from more oil money, which you will use to import. Thopse who oppose splitting up do so for the same reason.

As for me, Nigeria is the best option of all the bad options we have. And if we want to progress, we have to wake up to the fact that we are nopt rich, and that we have to work our way to riches.

Then we can split up however we want.

Everyone is blessed in their own way. Remove oil and let those who have it enjoy it. Those who dont have it will work with the ones they have. Some countries make billions from tourism alone. Some make billions from service managements. There are countless of resources across Nigeria. The current system encourages laziness and there is nothing we can do about it becus tribalims comes first.

And saying that tribalism should end is a waste of time becus even in the most developed continents and countries, racism has not ended. Humans will always be selfish and there is nothing u can do about that.

Europeans understood this and that was why they gave massive room for self determination.

It is also on record that Nations develop better than states. States are heterogenous while nations are homogeneous. The few states in Europe, what they did was run a system that grant the nations within these states great length of freedom to manage core issues such as police, resource control, airport, etc. Whites have sense. Na black man mumu pass for this life.

Na why the black countries remain extremely poor. And guess what? They will continue to be extremely poor and keep running to white man's countries. The same white men who had sense and organized a system that worked for them.

Vardanes2:
Nigeria parts ways into how many countries...?

Plus who gets the resources...?

Division=anarchy.

Resources found in your lands become yours, pls. Are u telling me that Africans cant resolve their identity issues just as Europeans did? Why are we so scared of changing a system that has not worked for us for decades, yet we are complaining.

If we continue with this system, in 50 years time, we will only get worse. Nigerian elites are already buying citizenship of many countries. They dont even believe in Nigeria.

Vardanes2:
Nope, restructing Nigeria won't do much change.

Nigeria cannot live off the revenue of the raw materials and minerals we sell forever...we have to change how the econom works

And for that, we don't need to wait for restructruing to do that.

(The problem I have with restructring is that most people who shout that thing...usualy think that the old regions worked. They didn't...most people were poor and illiterate, and our froex needs were not as much as it is now).

If we have practiced regions and it didnt work, we have practiced unitary system now for decades, still didnt work. Nigeria should better path ways like many European countries did.

U see this current system: It will never ever ever ever work.

50 years to come, if we continue this system, Nigeria will be worse, just as Nigeria is worse compared to 30 years ago. There were time electricity was stable in Nigeria, now, it is worse. So, Nigeria actually gets worse each year.

Vardanes2:
Because when you people give them a budget that is less than what one city can spend on its police force in the USA, and you people refuse to increase taxes to proivde the funds for the police to work well, and insist on paying them salaries that can't take them home...what do you expect.

The budget for the Police is 449 billion naira...or to be serious , less than 1 billion dollars. Meanwhile New York city spends ten times that for its police.

You cannot feed a child of yours one slice of bread in the morning, and one bottle of coke at night and expect that child to score 100% in his or her school exams.

This is why all of us should come together to demand for a restructured Nigeria so that regions with money can spend it as they like on their security. The current unitary system is wack.

But football games are not the only reason people sub for dstv

See my sweat, yet I don't have electricity, no good roads, I was at Osogbo last year, almost all the FG roads that leads to the place is wack. I almost wept that at this stage in life, Nigerians still battle poor roads.

I still don't have security. At my place where we live, we had to opt for private security arrangements and we started paying for it.

I still don't have water. We dig borehole and use bottle water for drinking.

I still have to use fuel to power my generator in order to have sufficient electricity. My fueling money on yearly bases in crazy. That is just my house o.

Education is still poor. Very poor. U have to pay heavily to enjoy quality education. So, why do our leaders now take our money in the name of tax?

We are so cheated in Nigeria. It is so unfair to be born as a Nigerian. Sometimes I ask if there is truly a God becus Nigerians have gone thru hell.

Dailymice:
While Nigerian Fulanis are spreading havoc and cows all across Africa, Southern Nigeria is spreading positivity, business ideas and development all across Africa and the world. Any news of "Nigerian" doing something good from Abroad is always a Southerner. Its high time Southerners join as a FORCE, i don't give a hoot about South West or South East.. In the North, they all see themselves as Northerners under a unified group.

This is what I have been saying. Southern Nigeria provide the human resources that drive this country. U will rarely see northerners so great things away from home. It is always in Nigeria that they dominate simply becus of useless political structure we run in Nigeria.

When u meet 2 southerners who have done crime abroad, u will surely meet 20 southerners who have done great things abroad.

We drive the country. Even in tax, it is our sweat that drive the country. Take away southern Nigeria, North will just die. I mean dia.

It hurts me seeing South east west and south south fight stupidly. North has northern governors forum but southern Nigeria has South East, South West, South South governors forum. That is madness.

Even Middle belt is more useful than North. They say North provide food, pls do they give us the food for free? We pay for the food. While the rest of our tax and vat and natural resources are used by all Nigerians including northerners for free.

I hope to see a future of southern Nigeria where we are united to either restructure this country into confederation or run USA model of true federalism.

Check out startups. U will rarely see northerners there. It is always young southerners that are doing it. Crazy thing.

Southerners would have come up with a sweet system of govt like seen in Europe if not for North.

Why Southern politicians are selling us away to these northerners is what I don't understand.

I can bet anyone that if North had thw type of human and natural resources that we have in Southern Nigeria, they would have pulled out of Nigeria long ago.

Fragility6:
No mind dat guy.Any cable TV dat wants to succeed in nigeria must show champs lge n premier leagues anything else then that company is bound to fail. Wonder why the progress of star times is stagnant.

Hahahaha.. U Nigerians are amazing.

Bro, as long as u wish to watch Champions league and EPL, get ready to pay for them. That is why DSTV cant make such packages cheap. It cost a lot to get the air right of those leagues and DSTV will surely leave the burden plus profit plus paying staff on the customers.

Great channels are expensive as f uck. So, when Nigerians complain about these DSTV and insult others for not showing same leagues, I laugh. The moment TSTV starts showing EPL and champions league, they may even be more expensive than DSTV packages. They need to cover the cost of obtaining the right to air EPL and also maintain their business and make profit.

So, EPL is all u want, then no one should complain about DSTV becus EPL and European leauges are expensive. As a customer, u must pay/
