Abi o, when I was in Canada, I got to know Nigeria was complete rubbish! Ordinary Winnipeg looking 1000 times better than Lagos SMH.

U are going too far, at least Canada is an advanced country... Cape Town in SA is way ahead of all the over hyped cities we have in Nigeria.

In 2019, Luxembourg had a population of 626,108, and it is a landlocked country..

Population size and landlocked region is not bases of development. U can only develop if u have good leaders who love the country.

Nigeria can only make progress if we divide the country. Currently, what we are practicing is tribe supremacy in negative way.

The black race is extremely lagging behind and in the next 30 years, the black race may become worse becus the race is not making any significant researches for development.

The race is only interested in looting their own resources to buy products manufactured by the developed worlds and to have s*x

See better train here.
No be the refurbished rail caterpillar wey Amaechi go pack from China come.

That is why I laugh at Nigerians celebrating rubbish, especially those wey dey hype Lagos. I have said it many times that Nigerians, majority dont really know what development and good governance are. That is why they celebrating rubbish like bore holes

AdaNri1:
I think it’s very sexist for a man to decide that what a woman wears is wrong.
While I am all about decent dressing, I think it should be left for the woman to make herself comfortable.
Mind your own business.
All this moral policing just sounds hypocritical to me. If you are struggling to contain your lust just blame yourself. You can control yourself, don’t blame the woman. As for all the women who would love to wear things they fancy but daren’t do it for fear of condemnation, or it won’t look good on them then they join the bandwagon of men disparaging other women’s choices, get real. May God give you the strength to liberate yourself from such psychological prison.

Come on, I keep wondering why women are always on the table of wearing stuff that like that. I mean, women pay so much attention at wearing something that appear sexy. Is it that women naturally were designed to be sex objects. I still wana know why women spend so much time on makeup, sexy wears while men do everything to make money.

wiseone28:
Still below par compares to other world cities..

In Nigeria we celebrate common thing like road.

God will help us.

Too below sef. Nigerians are not used to good governance and development.

No state in Nigeria has electricity 24/7, the health care system is bad, housing is bad, the environment is bad, no water, security is poor, education is poor, the list can go on. The only reason many people praise lagos is becus the country Lagos is in don die
Poor drainage system. Nigerians are so used poor leadership. They won't understand.

flyingpig:
So a government property has now been used to service friendship and familial affairs. Who gave Pres Buhari the right to discharge a public property like a private one??

Nigerians don't know the meaning of good governance. Don't mind the guy. Nigerians are so used to bad leadership to the point that most now sees bad leadership as a norm.

Sincerely, Nigeria is and will never get better

greatbuc:
Pure murder. The crime scene is very unrelated to suicide. The killers did a very poor job.
Pointers:
He was probably killed before his body was lifted to the noose.. See the folded part on his trouser indicating he was lifted.
No stool or block to have giving him the height he needed to hang himself. How did he climb up to the noose?? If you say the hole in the walls then he should have been facing backwards and his foot should also be dusty and bruised.
He is scared of dying from covid by wearing a mask but took his life by hanging? Haba. Poor job by the criminals.. Let them check how much was left for him to complete the instalment money.. Some people fit kill person so the bike will be theirs even when the instalment money is almost completed.

lol, in Nigeria where people joke with crime scene bro? lol

Them don rough handle the guy. I remembered someone who did same while I was in school, some people were touching his hanging body and the crime scene was already messed up with as students trooped in to see the scene before police came.

WoundedLamb:
You have a point.

But then again, splitting isn't necessarily an African thing. Former USSR splitted, North and South Korea splitted. Québec has had multiple referendums to split away from Canada, etc.

Along what lines should a continent as diverse as Africa split? It will only be a matter of years before the new countries start splitting again. Besides, the effects of splitting affects generations unborn cause families might be separated if care is not taken and even with the splitting, y'all would still be neigbours and if there is no peace, it will affect y'all's economy badly. What Africa needs is a government structure that is similar to what we have in Canada. Let each province in a country be as autonomous as possible.

Exactly, autonomous system is the best. This unitary force unity will only make issues like this to continue. African should sit down and plan a better constitution for them selves that meets their peculiar needs.

The whites actually practice this autonomy system more because they understand the ugly effects of forced unity. This forced unity is one of the major reasons africa is extremely backward.

SECONDED!!
This is nothing but the absolute truth.
In all our years of shopping online in stores abroad,
We have seldom heard the phrase (DM for price!)
It may exist tho, but we haven't witnessed it so far.


We still have a long way to go as a 'people' , this is about individuals, not even as a country.
We hope we get there soon.

What the heck are they trying to hide

Bro, the main reason they do that is because many people are ready to see the price and even advertise a lower price to u as a buyer. The seller paid for ad and someone is trying to use his ad to sell to his prospective buyer.

Nigerians don't run business properly, they are only doing it to survive.

MajohBankz:
For ordinary burial o, nna eh!! Him no see any other thing na police van him see. Him come start to talk rubbish. Him wey dey talk, how many protection him village people get? ABI na Igbo man be IGP?

Even the people he mentioned, a little google showed that they move with security. The guy is so bitter and jobless. Maybe under paid. He cant really make progress in life with his barbaric mindset.

MajohBankz:
I don't know what kind of people abound in this country. He tagged a whole region kidnappers. You served him what he deserved. He's so broke to the extend of breaking point. He actually watches every move of an Igbo man, he wants to know the next bad thing about an Igbo man. He needs redemption. And he can't go without Igbo man

My brother, the guy matter tire me. I see people like him all over this forum, they keep spoiling threads with rubbish tribalism while their leaders loot them dry.

He is so jobless and broke becus only such people carry this tribalism as a full time work to be spoiling threads on nairaland.

Wickedtruths:
We are talking something else, you are talking about money. That is the height of intellectual poverty. How much do you have? Or you think walking around with Mopol is a sign of wealth? You must be very ignorant. Have you seen Dangote and BUA walking around Kano with Mopol?

Arthur Eze brought Police Area Command and later Zone to his people. No university, nothing. You see Cubana Chief idiot, that Liquid Metal of a fool in Anambra, Emoney and others dancing around Igboland with Mopol. Can they dare move around alone without you kidnappers and armed robbers butchering them?

North and south west have ruled this country much more than any other region put together sef, especially northern Nigeria. Yet, have they been able to fix Nigeria? How far northern Nigeria? Our tax payers money in billions are used to protect north from completely collapsing. Instead of u to join hands and hold Nigerian leaders accountable, u find fun in spoiling nairaland pages with tribalism known to be displayed by the poorest and under paid Nigerians.

Give northerners even extra 100 years to rule Nigeria, they will still not fix it. In fact, u people have damaged Nigeria beyond repair. I was out this evening and northern beggars are littered all over the street here. It is so shameful that a region that has ruled this country for more than 30 years is still extremely backward with the highest number of poorest people in the world.

Instead of u to hold Nigerian leaders, especially, northern leaders accountable, u say na tribalism wahala u go dey cause for nairaland. If u are so busy working, u wont have time spoiling nairaland news with ur tribalism nonsense. People like u should be deleted from the internet for life. Rubbish

Wow!
i knew u are jobless. Very jobless. U have time to write rubbish. All your northern leaders cant move out without heavy security in the north. They no longer travel Abuja by land.
Look at how u sat down to brand an entire ethnic group kidnappers! That is to tell u how poor u are. U are so poor and broke. come let me help ur life. Let me help u small, u are so broke. Only poor people carry tribe for head. U are broke, so broke that my phone can feed u for one year!

The rich dont have time for all these tribalism people like u spoil nairaland with. U are so broke and jobless. I see so much hatred in u.

Northern Nigeria is almost deserted, for years, we are spending billions of our tax payers money, my money included to fight terrorists scattered all over north. South west had to start a new security outfit becus of insecurity.

Pastors cant move anywhere within Nigeria without heavy security men and u are tagging one tribe kidnappers. All the kidnappers in the north are Igbos abi?

Oh boy, stop this rubbish okay. Hold ur leaders accountable and stop fighting ur fellow tribe. U are fighting, the rich are balling. U are either jobless or under paid. Go get a life bra

Wickedtruths:
I can see a police van nearby. Them no born you well to enter Igboland make you no carry escort. Who you be?
It's only Igbos I know that require armed Mopol protection before they enter their own fathers' compounds.

Even at that, they specifically request for Middle belt, Hausa or Yoruba Mobile policemen. You won't see an Igbo man with his Mopol escort being an Igbo man. You'll hear them say stuff like 'I don't want an Mbaise man holding a gun near me'.

Guy, u are really broke and quite jobless. I have never seen a busy man who does what u do here. U really have time. I pray ur lord help u start being busy and make money.

Brandstudio01:
What a time be a Nigerian. Frankly speaking, I'm so ashame of my country

Yes.. Nigeria is a useless country. Can u see why I follow other countries insult Nigeria online?

Those Nigerians who defend Nigeria online dey try aswear.

Karlovich:
This is what beerfra will look like, I'm not surprised

But nigeria is already like this

wellmax:
Back up for breaking the law. You guys are so shameless and idiotic

They are o... Security men in this country, most of them behave like animals.

The worse part is that they are maltreated by the politicians o with poor pay and most times, poor equipment. Instead of fighting politicians o, they will be fighting civilians.

shameless country, no electricity after 60 years

izombie:
The anger that I feel towards our rulers anytime I visit Nigeria is something else. I just get angry anytime I look at Lagos from the plane window whenever we are descending. Nigeria is a mess. The worst part is that the Nigerian youths are so used to it that they don't even realise what they are missing. The water board is non existent and soon electricity will be non existent. Just as we source our own water now, soon you'll only have electricity when you provide it for yourself. No more NEPA. Nothing works properly in Nigeria. Nothing, Nada, zilch.
It's pathetic and appalling. Naija youths are the worst sef. I don dey get angry.

It is so heart breaking. These same youths will go everywhere to defend Nigeria as a country. I mean, who does that? This useless country that has done nothing for them. Wow!

When other countries insult Nigeria, I say it to my self that the country deserves it. In fact, I join to insult the useless country. But u will see hungry Nigerian youths who are probably under paid or unemployed, who arent certain they can live above 47 years, will be defending the useless country and politicians. Jezz, Im so pissed. Ordinary electricity, wtf? This is heartless!
I use generator for more than 7 hours almost every day. It is painful!

How do some of u support and defend Nigeria online? As old as Nigeria is, look at how useless this country is. No dam electricity. These useless old basta*ds who call them selves leaders keep wasting our time. U cant even give us electricity, give us electricity but No.

Electricity is so bad in my area, I keep relocating almost every year to areas with better electricity and after some time, it will get so bad!

It is such a shame. So many people will die or have died in Nigeria without enjoying the most basic things of life provided by govt!

And some of u will still defend this useless country?

I pay all sorts of VAT and will never enjoy the most basic things meant to be provided by the govt. In fact, u must provide ur own security these days. Almost all major areas in the country have one form private security they put up to protect them selves yet my tax is used for the police and other security services.

We have forgotten about water, as citizens, we source our own water by our selves..

Electricity is another shameful matter for this big for nothing country!

Roads, so pathetic, I dont even like to travel, the roads are so bad! So, so bad! Our airports are shameful!

We operate a country born out of deceit! A country where we lie to our selves on population. Jezz, how do u defend Nigeria online? Those of u who do it, how do u do it?
These old men are so heartless! Anyone who has ruled this country in the past is evil. They are heartless! Nigerian youths, na juju them do us?

Una don turn yahoo boys and prostitutes finish becus una leaders have denied una the most basic things needed to make a country work. Thunder fire all Nigerian leaders past and present! Bunch of deceitful evil spirits who call them selves old leaders. They have made the black race a laughing stock. It is becus of them blacks are maltreated almost all over the world as they keep running away from their lands. SHAME!

Simplyleo:
Bandits killed this, fulani herdsmen killed that, killing killing and more killing everywhere, everyday, yet some people are being paid with tax payers money for security of lives and property.

Yet, taxes on this, taxes on that, more taxes everywhere and everyday. And they don't fail in collection of these taxes, removal of subsidies, high electricity bills and many more.

Pls, what exactly is the problem with this country? As it stands now, everyone is responsible for his or her security, yet we are being taxed for this services. What is the problem?

The problem is the structure of Nigeria bro. Nigeria needs replicate USA or UK style of govt and give regions or states more powers especially in the area o economy, population and security.

U see this unitary federalism will not work. Lie, lie!

wisest10:
We southerners are the cause of our problem...how can illiterates be controlling us...Now I understand why someone said, Na person wey pass na him know book pass...
Northerners are wiser than southerners..
Quote me with facts

what killed southerners are pride. Yeye pride. In all honesty, southerners should have taken over this country while these fulanis are second to southerners, we are more resourceful than they are. But pride among the major ethnic groups from southern Nigeria is the reason we are like this..

Above all, the war lost by the Igbos was a war lost by the southern Nigeria but we didnt know.

southerns may never be free again! OBJ had the chance to change many things including the constitution, but he was busy fighting even his fellow southerners.

GEJ came and was busy pleasing northerners. Northerners cant be pleased, they are naturally domineering and wants to rule u forever. The only language they understand naturally is force.

Rgade:
The situation is just pathetic mehn.
And government and citizens reason alike.
Shebi it was the Senate that said they would force DSTV to reduce prices
And funny enoug most Nigerians believe we are the most intelligent country in the world

I was just laughing when I read the story. U didnt even mention multiple taxes paid by these companies.

We produce leaders who also Nigerians, so I'm not too surprised why we can't fix Nigeria

Rgade:
You dey mind Nigerians.
I don't know the kind of binary reasoning Nigerians are cursed with.
Always comparing sheer numbers alone while leaving out the dynamics of economics, whenever they begin their usual comparison with other countries.
SA has a far better infrastructure than Nigeria,power, water, security, network etc like you pointed out.
It's common sense that foreign companies would have to spend far more money in Nigeria in order to bring their standard of operation at par with what is obtained in their home country.
They will also ignore that SA has a far better per capita GDP($) than Nigeria. So what we see as expensive might actually be cheap for them.
Also there's the devalued currency and double digit inflation rates.
But a Nigerian will ignore the fact that his Economy is screwed and be expecting the same standard of service obtained in first world countries at subsidized rates.
FG should come and subsidize DSTV for them too,so they'll stop crying.

Ur last statement got me laughing... Actually, many Nigerians are not really intelligent bro. Our intelligence is only for defrauding people

Our govt needs fix many things before we can begin to enjoy some level of satisfactions from privately managed enterprises. But Nigerians will leave their leaders o and be blaming private companies

I never see people who make excuses for their leaders reach Nigerians.

NACE13:
Excuse me, bro. I just need to ask. I travelled to the Southeast and I noticed some viewing centres showing EPL matches in an Arabic and French station, I couldn't get the name of the decoder but I just want to know if you've heard about those channels and if yes, how can one get it in Lagos? What does free-to-air mean?

Meet all those decoder installers, they know how to source for these stations. U will just pay them.

Crenzywilliams:
South Africans pay about 9200 naira for what we pay about 13k for, and their content is even better than ours, why shy ours be higher?

There is stable electricity in SA and we dont have that in Nigeria. Companies pay a lot to generate and maintain electricity in Nigeria. If some companies tell u how much they spend, u go pity them.

Companies supply their own water, transportation is crazy and they import most of the resources they need to run their business here..

Dollar is not as high in rand as it is in naira. It cost more to get dollars from Nigeria than in SA due to our economy.

The list goes on.

[quote author=blowjohn post=93802865]Are u saying billionaires in naija cannot raise the sum?
[/quote)

U arent getting it. If they raise the sum, won't they make profit? They will like to make profit and that will surely make the subscription more expensive.

Crenzywilliams:
Read again bru, not EPL, but EFL, that's Championship matches... I really need strong competition to rival DSTv, cos they're just too busy expensive.

It is not dstv fault. Epl is too expensive and anyone who will rival dstv will also be expensive becus they must make their money back.

blowjohn:
Nothing too expensive for any typical Nigerian billionaire.
They just dont want to be serious about investing

Why are u people like this? It cost a lot to get broadcast right of these top leagues. Even broadcast right of African champions league is way expensive not to talk of epl. If they get the right for epl, their sub will be expensive just like dstv. So what is now the need ? Dstv is expensive becus they paid heavily for broadcast rights.

No business wants to lose money. So as they paid heavily for broadcast rights, they will also charge their customers heavily.

If tstv go the dstv way, it will become as expensive as dstv.
